Martha Washington's Fan Recipe
Easter morning would not be the same at our house without this bread. The impressive loaves also make nice Christmas gifts.—Susan Peck, Springfield, Missouri
- 6 to 7 cups all-purpose flour, divided
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 2 tablespoons nonfat dry milk powder
- 2 packages (1/4 ounce each) active dry yeast
- 1-1/4 teaspoons salt
- 2/3 cup butter, softened
- 1-1/4 cups warm water (120° to 130°)
- 3 eggs
- 6 tablespoons butter, melted, divided
- 1-1/2 cups sweetened shredded coconut
- 1 cup chopped pecans
- 1/2 cup packed brown sugar
- 1 cup confectioners' sugar
- 2 to 3 tablespoons milk
- 1. In a large bowl, combine 2 cups flour, sugar, dry milk, yeast and salt. Add butter and water; beat on low for 2 minutes. Add eggs; beat on high for 2 minutes. Stir in enough remaining flour to form a soft dough.
- 2. Turn onto a floured surface; knead until smooth and elastic, 6-8 minutes. Place in a greased bowl; turn once to grease top. Cover and let rise in a warm place until doubled, about 1 hour.
- 3. Turn onto a lightly floured surface; divide into thirds. Roll one portion into a 20-in. x 6-in. rectangle, with a short side facing you. Brush top two-thirds of dough with 1 tablespoon melted butter. In a bowl, combine the coconut, pecans and brown sugar; blend in 3 tablespoons butter. Sprinkle a third of the mixture over buttered portion of dough. STarting at the plain short side, fold dough over half of filling; fold over again. Pinch edges and end to seal.
- 4. Place on a greased baking sheet with folded edge facing away from you. With scissors, cut into eight strips to within 1 in. from folded edge. Separate strips slightly; twist to allow filling to show. Pinch ends into points. Repeat with remaining dough and filling to make two more fans. Cover and let rise until doubled, about 45 minutes.
- 5. Bake at 350° for 20-25 minutes. Remove from pans to wire racks to cool. Combine icing ingredients; drizzle over fans. Yield: 3 loaves.

This is the first book in a nine-volume work on experimental psychology. The series will consider in depth this extensive area of psychology as a fitting supplement to the Koch series considering all of psychology as science. In an overview of this volume, since a detailed review is not possible, it can be stated that the evolution of experimental psychology by Fraisse, the experimental method by Fraisse, explanation in psychology and psychophysiological parallelism by Piaget, and measurement in psychology by Reuchliss are superbly covered and written in understandable language and well translated by Chambers. The series as exemplified by the first volume will be a valuable addition to psychiatrists' libraries.

The DocScanner app is well known for its productivity increasing features that can save you a great deal of time. Designed to scan & archive your documents with just a single tap, we listed here five key ways on how to improve your productivity with DocScanner.
#1 Let DocScanner take care of all the adjustments
Most scanner apps prompt the user to adjust the document after scanning – drag corners, correct white balance, rotate document – all that stuff. DocScanner, however, does all the adjustments for you. No need for time consuming manual adjusting. Just place the document on an even surface, tap once, and let DocScanner take care of the rest.
#2 Batch scan & sort documents using DocScanner's auto-sort feature
Time to unclutter your desk covered with all kinds documents, receipts, and biz cards? Storing different types of documents to different cloud storage services? Then make use of the auto-sort feature. With auto-sort, DocScanner can tell the difference between a document, business card, receipt, and a whiteboard. Additionally, you can set different document types to be uploaded to different folders or different cloud storage services. See the auto-sort in use with Evernote on this Youtube video.
#3 Tap once to scan & auto-upload documents to the cloud
Set DocScanner to auto-upload documents to cloud storage services the moment they are scanned. See Youtube video tutorials for Evernote, Dropbox, and Google Drive.
#4 Use DocScanner's OCR ability to convert documents to plain text, and to make their content searchable
As you may know, DocScanner comes with an Optical Character Recognition (OCR) ability as a standard. Use the OCR feature to convert documents to plain text. Once the OCR has extracted the text, it is pasted to the PDF document as metadata. This way you can make your documents searchable on your iDevice, and on any laptop or PC. See a document being OCR'd on an iPad in this Youtube video.
#5 Sync DocScanner documents between iOS devices through iCloud
Since the release of DocScanner 6 iOS, there's been a possibility for iCloud syncing between iOS devices. If you happen to be a proud owner of both an iPhone and an iPad, you can have your DocScanner documents available on both your devices. Just turn the iCloud on in the Settings menu. Once switched on, all your documents are backed up in the iCloud. The iCloud can also save the day, and your documents, when installing DocScanner to a new iDevice, or when doing a re-install.
#1 It produces the brightest PDFs from your documents
The DocScanner image quality has been evaluated as "a cut above the rest" by the Wall Street Journal. DocScanner produces the sharpest and most paperlike PDF documents from any paper document.
#2 It increases your daily productivity
DocScanner is designed to be the most productive scanner app in the market. To achieve this goal, DocScanner automates much of the traditional scanner app functionality. In addition to one-tap scanning & uploading to file hosting services such as Evernote, Dropbox, and Google Docs, DocScanner features a realtime preview of scan result, document type auto-recognition, auto-sorting by document type, and automatic document post-processing for non-stop scanning.
#3 It works seamlessly with your Apple devices
DocScanner is a universal iOS app. It works natively both on the iPhone and the iPad. In addition to app universality, DocScanner supports iCloud for easy synchronization of your documents between your Apple devices. DocScanner is also available as a Mac app.
#4 It helps you to extract text from documents
DocScanner is one of the few document scanner apps on the market with a built-in Optical Character Recognition (OCR). With OCR, you can painlessly extract the text out of your documents. The DocScanner OCR is available on 36 different languages.
#5 It comes with wireless features that add extra value to you
DocScanner supports AirPrint for easy, wireless printing. It also offers a possibility to use a network attached HP flatbed scanner as an external image source. This feature is available as an In-App Purchase (IAP).
Did you download DocScanner for iOS last week? A lot of people did, as DocScanner was ranked as the #1 productivity app in dozens of countries. Great! Here's a short introductory to file hosting services you can extend your newly downloaded DocScanner with.
DocScanner saves all scanned documents to its own document organizer. In addition to that, DocScanner supports a range of file hosting and synchronization services. We know that there are many of such services out there, so we have selected the five most potent ones to be used with DocScanner – each of them with their own advantages.
The basic functionality of Evernote is built around notetaking. This makes Evernote perfect for adding comments and tags to your scanned documents. With Evernote, you can create shared notebooks to easily share documents with anyone. If needed, you can password protect a shared notebook to limit access to it. Check also this earlier blog post on Evernote: How to manage receipts effectively with DocScanner and Evernote.
A cloud based file hosting service at its purest, Dropbox is one of the simplest ways to upload your scanned documents online. The best thing about sending files with Dropbox is that the recipient doesn't need to have it installed on his device, as Dropbox can generate a shortened URL for downloading any file with any browser.
Google Drive
Google Drive is a highly relevant service because of its word processing application. DocScanner features an Optical Character Recognition (OCR), which can extract the text out of a scanned document to be processed with a word processor. Extract to Google Drive word processor to edit the text of the scanned document. The biggest advantage of this is that you can use the word processor to check and autocorrect the OCR output.
The iCloud can be a valuable feature if you are a person with more than one Apple device. A file synchronization and back-up service, iCloud syncs your DocScanner documents so that they are available on all your Apple devices running DocScanner.
- If you like to add comments and tags to your documents, Evernote is good for this.
- If you just need a simple file hosting service without much additional functionality, use Dropbox.
- If you need to edit the text in your scanned documents, use Google Drive and its word processor.
- For backing up and synchronizing your files between two or more Apple devices, iCloud is the best.

Have you ever considered pink high heels as something very masculine? Do lightly dressed women strike you as typical political leaders of the Middle East? For the first, you don't have to go that far: in 19th century England pink was considered a masculine colour while girls wore blue, and the first high heels were actually designed for men in 17th century France. For the latter, take a look at the reign of female pharaohs, such as Hatshepsut, who was successful in warfare and massively expanded Egypt's trade relations.
These facts serve as proof of something very obvious: gender is a social construct. Looking at world history, we see a variety of matriarchies, patriarchates and egalitarian societies. Most of all, we see different interpretations and performances of gender. Until a couple of days ago, I felt very free in this performance. I believed that in the 21st century, at least in our culture, people had realized that it is completely insane to link personal traits and talents to whatever lively form of whatever you hide between your legs.
Then something dramatic happened. I had a pint. This was not particularly dramatic in itself, but I had this pint with a group of fellow students, all 'progressive and liberal'. "If you want to do best for society, stay home and get some children," one of them told me. All he knew about me was that I've been very good at my studies. Others were less radical but still completely convinced that all 7 billion people in this world could be put into just two boxes: male and female, who differ completely in distinct identities, talents and ways of thinking.
A wrong assumption here would be: only women are affected negatively by this binary view. Yes, female stereotypes can still be harmful career-wise and this has got to definitely change. But the stereotypes here are something larger – a wrong-doing to all female and male individuals, their personalities and talents. And these stereotypes are employed by both, men and women. A friend, a male teacher to be, faces this: on the one hand he is accused of "unmanly" clothing and on the other hand told by professors and students in class. "Of course you can't understand these topics. You're not as sensitive as a woman". A group of aspiring elementary school teachers had a similar experience when they were told by their female math lecturer: "As women you don't have to understand these calculations."
Ironically, research shows that there are actually more differences among men and among women than between these two groups when it comes to talents, feelings and traits. Tests of various age groups and countries show that when it comes to intelligence, math skills and memory, it's education that matters, not gender. The same applies to brain structures: they don't possess a constant structure, but are rather massively shaped by a person's experience and learning (what we learn and experience is of course also influenced by our beliefs, such as our stereotypes). So there's no constant "male" or "female" brain but many different brain structures. Why then do we still cling to clearly wrong gender stereotypes?
It's mainly because we confuse social identity with biological sex. We believe that a difference in body and sex must result in a difference of behaviour and thinking, when actually with this belief we only create the difference. Based on this mistake we prescribe certain gender norms and call them "natural". Early on children learn about "masculine" and "feminine" roles in society and are encouraged or discouraged to develop certain talents and interests. The role only keeps its state of "naturalness" as we try to confirm what we think others expect from our performance and are confirmed again by their performances. Gender roles are, however, extremely fluent and just a glimpse at history shows us how ridiculous a belief in their "naturalness" is.
When it comes to equal treatment, certain laws and regulations are absolutely necessary, but besides that, it's our perception that is most essential. It determines the words we say and the actions we take, which influence other people's perceptions themselves. This happens already in everyday conversation – how do we react to other people's performances, do we prescribe certain norms? It happens in the way we make decisions – do we still give gender any importance when hiring or promoting someone or when deciding who is more fitting for caring for children and household?
Luckily today, we as actors and actresses have an immense power in creating our own social roles and no one is burnt at the stake anymore for doing so. This doesn't mean that a stereotypical gender role is necessarily bad in itself. It just means that it's no more natural than any other role and can neither be prescribed nor expected. It means that this discussion isn't about opinions – science and history have already proven that genitalia can't be linked to talents and traits. It means that in order to reach equal treatment, we need to rank individuality before gender. And most importantly, it means that we have a responsibility as a well as right to this: if we ourselves want to be treated as the person we are with the abilities we have, we need to stop defining others based on gender and other stereotypes as well.
"I won't compliment you for treating men and women alike as it shouldn't be the exception – it should be the normal thing", my boyfriend once told me. Until it is normality, however, we might want to remind ourselves that it's the most liberating thing to have the freedom to be the kind of individual you want to be and to develop yourself, in whatever way it might be. And we shouldn't let anyone take this freedom away from us.

Will Yeatman is the fourth-leading scorer for the men's lacrosse team at Maryland. But the 6-6, 260-pound junior attackman is drawing much of the attention leading to the Terrapins' visit Sunday to seventh-seeded Notre Dame (15-0) for a first-round game in the NCAA tournament.
That's because before this season Yeatman was a starter in lacrosse for Irish, earning all-conference honors as a freshman in 2007 after leading them in points (46) and assists (25). He left South Bend, Ind., however, after suspensions cost him all of the 2008 lacrosse season and half of the football season. Those suspensions came in the wake of alcohol-related arrests.
LACROSSE PAIRINGS: Schedule for men's tournament
Yeatman has played in 12 of the 15 games this season for the Terps (9-6), tallying 26 points.
He declined to speak to the news media this week but did release a statement through the school's sports information department.
"Some of my best friends in life are on the Notre Dame lacrosse team, and I have tremendous respect for the coaches and staff at Notre Dame," the statement said. "So, to treat all parties with the proper respect, I will not be conducting interviews this week."
Yeatman also played in 15 football games at Notre Dame as a tight end and will be eligible to play that sport for Maryland in 2010.
More lacrosse
Zack Greer is a candidate for the Tewaaraton Trophy, the highest individual honor in collegiate lacrosse. But he is the only one of the five finalists announced Tuesday by the Tewaaraton Foundation who will not be able to advance his case further in the upcoming NCAA tournament.
Greer, who finished tied with former Duke teammate Matt Danowski with 353 career points, used his final season of eligibility to play for Bryant and former Duke coach Mike Pressler. He also owns the Division I record with 206 goals. He helped the Bulldogs to a 10-5 record, but the Bryant program is transitioning to Division I and is not yet eligible for the national championship. Greer was among the Duke players who lost a season when the program was shut down following rape allegations against three players. The players were later cleared and all the members of the team who had eligibility left were given another year by the NCAA. Greer chose to transfer to Bryant.
The other men's finalists are Matt Abbott of Syracuse, Ned Crotty of Duke, Danny Glading of Virginia and Max Seibald of Cornell.
Reigning Tewaaraton winner Hannah Nielsen of four-time defending national champion Northwestern is again among the women's finalists. She is joined by Jillian Byers of Notre Dame, Carolyn Davis of Duke, Amber Falcone of North Carolina and Caitlyn McFadden of Maryland.
The winners will be announced May 28 in Washington, D.C.
Cory Harrilchak of Elon doubled in the first inning Tuesday night in a game at No. 1 North Carolina, extending his streak of reaching base safely to 80 games dating to last season. The last time the senior outfielder/pitcher did not reach base at least once in a game was April 2, 2008, in a 12-0 loss to North Carolina State. The NCAA does not track such records.

Pacific-10 champion Arizona State, UCLA and Virginia are the top seeds for the NCAA Division I regionals, which tee off Thursday. Arizona State will host the West Regional, while UCLA leads the Central Regional field in Columbus, Ohio, and Virginia the East in Gainesville, Fla. Defending champion Southern California is the second seed in the West.
The top eight teams in each regional, plus the top two players not affiliated with any of those teams, advance to the national tournament May 19-22 at Caves Valley Golf Club outside Baltimore.
Arizona State owns six national titles but none since 1998. The Sun Devils have the defending individual champion, senior Azahara Munoz of Spain, on their roster. Another Spaniard, freshman Carlota Ciganda, won the Pac-10 tournament.
•UNLV coach Pete Manarino will miss the Rebels' next game, Saturday at San Diego State, after he was suspended by the Mountain West Conference. Manarino was ejected from the game May 2 against Utah. It was his second ejection of the season. The league cited its sportsmanship policy for the suspension. The game Saturday is the regular-season finale for UNLV, 31-18 overall and third in the MWC at 7-7 in Manarino's first season.
•Dixie State (Utah), in its third year as a Division II school and its first year of eligibility for NCAA postseason play, not only landed a spot in that 64-team field but will host part of the West Regional competition in St. George. The Red Storm (30-9) are seeded third in the region. The team, however, is not the first from the school to land an NCAA berth. The men's golf team was invited last week to the Central/West Regional.
Defending national champ Humboldt State (Calif.) (34-17) is the top seed in the West. First-round play begins Friday at 16 campus sites. Those 16 winners advance to the super regionals May 15-16. The D-II World Series is May 21-25 in Salem, Va.
Four of the eight teams in the Central Regional — Metro State (Colo.) (40-10), Colorado School of Mines (37-16), Wayne State (Neb.) (39-19) and Minnesota-State Mankato (37-15) — are first-time tournament entrants. The other newcomers: Dominican (N.Y.) (39-14), Nova Southeastern (Fla.) (43-13), Miles (Ala.) (24-14) and South Carolina-Aiken (34-14).
At 43-3, North Georgia enters with the best record in the field. The Saints are the top seed in the Southeast Regional. Bloomsburg (Pa.) (33-9) is making its 27th consecutive appearance in the tournament. The Huskies have been part of every field except for the first year of the D-II tournament in 1982. They are seeded third in the Atlantic Regional this year.
•Coast Guard (Conn.) (36-5-1) leads a list of five first-timers in the 59-team NCAA Division III tournament field, grabbing one of just 17 available at-large berths. Regional play begins at eight campus sites Thursday. Each regional winner advances to the D-III World Series on May 15-19 in Montclair, N.J. Coast Guard is seeded third in the regional at Beverly, Mass. One of the other tournament neophytes is Husson (Maine) (26-14), seeded eighth in the Beverly Regional. The other newcomers: Farmingdale (N.Y.) State (32-4), Hiram (Ohio) (26-14) and Claremont-Mudd-Scripps (Calif.) (28-14). Coast Guard was the only newcomer to get an at-large bid.
At 38-1, Tufts (Mass.) enters the tournament with the best record. The Jumbos are the top seed in the Beverly Regional. Defending champion Wisconsin-Eau Claire (27-14) is seeded fifth in the regional at Bloomington, Ill. Ithaca (N.Y.) is hosting a regional but will not be playing in it. The Bombers missed the field for the first time since 1993 and will not add to their record 22 appearances.

Patching up an injured Angel of The Lord was not on Dean's extensive list of special skills.
Driving was.
But driving when said Angel of the Lord appears in your lap while going seventy down the interstate, limp and bloody...
Well that didn't help.
It also didn't help that Sam screeched like a girl.
Dean jerked at the wheel, panic overwhelming him as he realized what was happening, adrenaline pumping his veins as he tried - and failed - to keep the car on the road.
"Cas!" Dean groaned as the car gave a violent left turn, crossing into oncoming traffic. Horns blared, tires screeched against pavement as cars swerved to avoid hitting the out of control car. Castiel lay limp on Dean as they flew off the road, swerving to avoid trees, Sam still screeching in the passenger seat.
Dean slammed his foot down on the breaks, hands clutching the wheel as he began to loose the feeling in his legs, tires slipping in the grass, metal groaning as it spun sideways, narrowly missing a tree before landing in a clearing, car giving a violent jerk as it settled.
Everything was silent as the car settled, Sam taking in deep breaths and most likely trying to a find a way to excuse his girlish freak out, but Dean wasn't paying attention to him. Panic clogging his throat, he shook his friend's shoulder, hitting at the wall that separated their bond once more as he shifted, trying to wake him.
"Cas?" he croaked.
Hauling back an injured, limp Castiel was no easy task. Of course, he had no help from Samantha, who had finally calmed down from his melt down. The only help he got was the motel keys and Dean was determined to lock Sam out for not helping him carry the bloody angel into their room.
Cas was unconscious the whole time, head lolling back as Dean struggled to get him through the door, one arm wrapped around his shoulders, the other around his front. Dean grunted with relief as he dumped Cas onto the bed, his relief short lived as his eyes once again found the bloody stain that shone across his chest.
Dean had stripped him of his trench coat and suit jacket, hoping to find the problem. Well, he had found a problem alright. Head pounding, Dean thoughts clouded as he tried to think of what he would do in a time like this. First aid kits were always the best way to go, but there was no Heavenly first aid kits designed to treat Angel's. Or Angel doctors. How the fuck was he supposed to do anything that could help?
Fuck it, this was the best they had.
"Sam!" Dean called, hands rummaging in the cupboard as he looked for the first aid kit that should be hiding in the corner. Sam hadn't answered and Dean swallowed back a flash of frustration at his brother, his hands finally meeting their purchase.
He had struck gold.
Clutching the small first aid kit, Dean all but ran from the bathroom, finding Castiel in the same lifeless position as before.
No. No. No
Sam was clicking away at his laptop, eyes scanning the screen as his gaze flickered back and forth between the lifeless Angel and his laptop. Dean came to a stop next to Castiel on the bed, hovering over him as he looked for his injury, eyes coming to a stop at the blood stain, dry blood beginning to crust around it, turning a dark brown color. He set the first aid kit down, unsure of how to proceed before he finally began to undo the buttons numbly.
He wasn't going to loose him like this. Not at all.
He found the cause of the bond, no doubt. Breath catching in his throat, he watched as blood kept seeping from a large slash in chest. Maybe it was just the vessel. He flipped the first aid kit open, looking for anything useful in patching up a wound like that, sighing. He would have to use his own stitching kit. Yet, as he turned away, a bright white light caught his eye. Entranced he turned towards it. It was shining from Castiel's wound faintly, flickering slightly in the air around it. Dean gulped.
That was Castiel.
Dean's stomach flipped as he began to shake, mind encouraging him to reach forward, to place his hand upon the wound and fell Castiel's grace pulse under his hand. To feel Castiel pulse under his hand. To feel Castiel's life force so near his own.
He hadn't realized his hand was stretching towards it until it lay itself upon the wound, gripping his chest tightly as a bright flash filled the room, exploding the windows around them, Sam's cry of surprise muffled as everything shook around them. A curious sensation filled him, something that left him breathless and hungry for more.
Breathlessly, Dean opened his eyes warily. He hadn't known they were closed until this moment. Green eyes met drained blue ones as he stared back at a breathless Castiel.
After the little light show Dean and Cas had put on, they were met with a wide eyed, unamused, hair singed, unamused Sammy whose bitchface radiated as much nuclear power as Castiel's explosion.
Dean hadn't much time to think of Sam and his hair troubles, spending half and hour stitching up sleepy Castiel, who now lay, neck deep in pillows and blankets, asleep. Which Dean found strange considering Angel's didn't need sleep.
That worried him. He had spent the last thirty minutes stitching him back together, trying to resist the urge to touch him again, to feel the same curious feeling he craved now. As soon as Sam realized what was going on, he turned tale and ran like the little girl he was, scooping his computer up, running a hand through his terribly singed hair, slamming the door shut behind him. Dean was sure he wouldn't back. He was also sure he had only ran because he didn't trust Dean not to cause another small nuclear explosion.
Castiel's grace was delicate and Dean couldn't help his hands from shaking as he began to carefully sew him up. It had been a success but Dean still couldn't help but frown as he watched Cas sleep, worry aching in his bones.
Castiel shouldn't be sleeping. Something wasn't right here.
Dean had been clawing at the wall that barred him from Castiel for the last ten minutes, finally giving up to check on him, coming to a stop beside his best. His shirt was unbuttoned halfway, revealing the bloody gauze that was wrapped firmly around his chest, keeping his stitches in place.
Dean was aware of the vacancy in his mind. Castiel's presence had always been known in the back of his mind as soon as they had been mated. It was a soothing thing to know that he was there, always jumping in to help whenever there was danger. He was one of Dean's best friends to date, but he couldn't help the feelings that were stirring in his couldn't help but wonder why he was feeling this. True, he had always felt a sort of connected with the angel since their meeting in the barn, blue eyes bright, hair messed up and sticking up in different directions. Yet, his eyes gleamed with satisfaction and wonder as he gazed upon the Righteous man he had pieced back together from the bowels of hell.
His eyes roamed Castiel's figure once more, breath hitching as he watched him sleep. His face was relaxed somewhat, but Dean could detect a hint of pain...and sweat.
What the fuck.
Angels don't sweat.
Yet there it was, a thin sheen of sweat lay of his forehead. Raising an eyebrow, Dean placed a hand gently to Castiel's, hot, sweaty forehead. The guy was running a fever. Angel's didn't run fevers.
"Cas." Dean murmured as softly as he could, trying to keep the rising panic out of his voice. Was he falling like he had before. No. No he couldn't be. Dean began to rub his shoulder, trying his best to wake the sleeping angel.
"Cas, wake up." he said somewhat firmly, nodding in satisfaction as Castiel shifted, face pulling in discomfort. "Cas, buddy, come on." Dean sat down, prodding at his shoulder now. Castiel groaned, eyes opening slowly and he gazed back at Dean, eyes dark with sleep.
"I feel awful." he rasped, sounding as if he had spent a year in the Saudi Arabian desert.
"You don't look any better either." Dean chuckled nervously, wiping his sweaty hand on his jeans. "You're running a fever. Man, I thought that couldn't happen."
" I am weakened." Castiel said stiffly, sitting up and leaning against the headboard, eyes drooping shut once more.
"Weakened? By?" Dean prompted. He could see Castiel grit his teeth, keeping his eyes shut.
"Our bond. I've shut off our bond." was all he said.
"I know that." Irritation laced Dean's clipped tone as he pressed a hand to his forehead. "But why. Why shut me out like that." he demanded. "You could have died and I wouldn't know!" he pointed at Castiel's recently stitched chest.
"Oh you would have felt it." Castiel murmured. "Like a supernova exploding in your head." was all he said as his breathing began to settle.
"I did it...I did it because I didn't think...You shouldn't have to deal with this.." his sentences came out in weak, half mumbled. "It..Would be to much for you."
Dean watched him, the gears in his head turning. He had never realized how much Castiel may be holding back from him. How much he had kept back in case it overloaded Dean's sensitive mind.
"When you touched me, that was the part of my grace in you trying to reconnect." Castiel mumbled sleepily.
"Buddy, looks like holdin back is draining you." Dean finally said after a moment of silence. Castiel nodded. "Mates are supposed to be bound, not separated." he sounded like a small child trying to fight sleep.
"Then open it." Dean all but growled, laying a hand on his friends - mates - shoulder. Castiel shook his head, eyes scrunching up in stubborn defiance.
"No, Dean." he said firmly. He could still say it in such a way that sent chills up Dean's spine. "It's to much for you to handle." Before Castiel could finish his sentence, Dean's mouth was on his, hot and wet as he silenced the injured angel. Castiel stiffened, Dean's mouth working his over, hands greedily running down Castiel's legs making the angel shiver before relaxing, kissing him back with as much fever.
"Dean," Cas murmured against his lips. "Dean, no." he murmured once more as Dean slid in next to him, arms wrapping themselves around him. "Dean, please." his body was tensing now.
"Show me, Cas." Dean whispered, sucking his bottom lip between his own. "Show me. Show me." he chanted and a gasp elicited from Castiel as he tensed and for a split second, Dean felt as if something was tearing in the back of his mind.
Suddenly, everything was bright, soft blue light enveloped him as a steady stream of energy. He felt his breath coming in gasps, fireworks exploding behind his eyeballs. He felt Castiel's cool hands roaming him, his mouth pressing soft kisses to his neck once again. The energy soon began to make sense, branching off into different memories, feelings, thoughts and events. Things that happened thousands of years ago, memories that occurred a week ago.
Dean gasped as something hit him. Something so strong, it knocked the wind from his chest. Everything Castiel felt. His every thought, every feeling towards Dean. Dean could felt like his brain was beginning to melt, but he didn't want this to end ever. He dove into them, pulling at he bond, stroking it in a loving way as he discovered Castiel. Betrayal, disapoinment, despair, anger, love.
With a gasp, Dean pulled away, gripping the bond tightly as Castiel kept delivering kisses, soothing him as his eyes opened, greeting brighter blue eyes.
Without saying a word, Dean pulled himself weakly to Castiel, ignoring the sweat that was pouring off him in sheets as he crashed his lips to his, pouring every thought, feeling and need into the kiss.

Claire Messud's new novel, The Burning Girl, feels somehow different from anything she's done before...
All Product Details
To understand trauma in the body, mind, and psyche, Levine proposes that, in combination, clinical experience, animal observations, and comparative (cross-species) brain research can help create therapeutic approaches that restore resilience and promote self-healing. He explains how the human nervous system has developed a hierarchical structure based on evolution, how those hierarchies interact, and how the more advanced systems shut down in the face of overwhelming threat, capitulating operations of brain, body, and psyche to more primitive functions. Levine demonstrates how to tap the body's wisdom to restore these systems' balance and discusses an unexpected side effect of this approach called "Awakening the Living, Knowing Body"—when animal instinct and reason are brought together, laying the groundwork for becoming more whole human beings.
In this culmination of his life's work, Peter A. Levine draws on his broad experience as a clinician, a student of comparative brain research, a stress scientist and a keen observer of the naturalistic animal world to explain the nature and transformation of trauma in the body, brain and psyche. In an Unspoken Voice is based on the idea that trauma is neither a disease nor a disorder, but rather an injury caused by fright, helplessness and loss that can be healed by engaging our innate capacity to self-regulate high states of arousal and intense emotions. Enriched with a coherent theoretical framework and compelling case examples, the book elegantly blends the latest findings in biology, neuroscience and body-oriented psychotherapy to show that when we bring together animal instinct and reason, we can become more whole human beings.

This post was originally published at Racialicious on June 8, 2006.
by Carmen Van Kerckhove
(First heard about this case on Blogging Baby.)
Olivia Shelltrack and Fondrey Loving are facing eviction from the house they purchased in the St. Louis suburb of Black Jack, MO. The reason? This town has an ordinance that prohibits more than three people from living together unless they are related "by blood, marriage or adoption."
Shelltrack and Loving are not married, but they've been together for thirteen years. They're raising three children, two from their relationship, one from Shelltrack's previous relationship. Despite all of this, the town does not consider them to be a family.
The ridiculous thing is that this law exists to prevent frat houses from springing up in single-family neighborhoods. And in this USA Today article, Tony Rothert, legal director of the ACLU of Eastern Missouri says that these types of laws are rarely enforced.
And yet in the case of this family — excuse me, I mean, unrelated grouping of persons — the town was pretty quick to enforce it. Not only that, but the city council then rejected a proposal to amend the law to allow unmarried couples with multiple children to live together.
I have to wonder, if this couple were not interracial, would the city have cared so much? And for the record, I'm not the only one who thinks there's a racial element going on here. Blogging Baby and Broadsheet, Salon's blog on women's issues, both find it pretty suspicious.
Meanwhile, Google News reveals that the international press is all over this story. Here's a sampling of their take on it:
"a return to the Middle Ages" (The Sunday Times, UK)
"City tells family how to live" (Sydney Morning Herald)
"Unmarried, with kids? Not in our town" (People's Daily Online, China)
By the way, interesting coincidence that Fondray's last name is Loving. Any relation, I wonder?

Parliament conditions not met, EU budget adoption postponed to November
While the deal between EU institutions on the Multiannual Financial Framework 2014-2020 (MFF) was supposed to be finalised this month with a vote expected for this week's Parliament plenary sitting, MEPs estimated that conditions for adoption were not met and that the MFF would be examined in the November session (see BUDG Committee Chair summary on 22 October extraordinary meeting). Due to heavy administrative processes after the November vote, the implementation of the MFF by January 2014 could even be threatened (the 2013 budget would then apply for 2014). Erasmus+ (read new Parliament working document for a summary of negotiations) and number of other EU programmes cannot be finalised either if the EU budget is not approved, but this should not entail delays in the release of calls for proposals by the end of the year. See also the state of negotiations for the 2014 budget.

AUGUSTA, Maine – School gardens around Maine will hold open house events this weekend to showcase their students' hard work and highlight the many benefits of educational gardening programs.
Participating school systems include Gorham, Bath, Belfast, Islesboro, Falmouth, Ellsworth and Waldoboro. The open-house events are being coordinated through the Maine School Garden Network, according to Kat Coriell, chair of the MSGN board of directors.
"School gardens are one of the best things you can add to a school curriculum," Coriell said. "They get children outside, exploring nature and science, being active and learning about healthy foods and good nutrition. Kids will even try broccoli if they grow it themselves.
"We would like all parents, friends and visitors to see the exciting things going on across Maine in our school gardens," the MSGN official said.
Events will be free and open to the public. Visitors can expect a variety of garden-related activities, including garden tours, gardening demonstrations, games, cider pressing, food tasting and garden-themed artwork.
The Maine School Garden Network is a group of committed individuals who believe in the value of teaching children to garden. MSGN's mission is to promote and support educational gardening programs in Maine schools. It holds educational workshops for teachers, maintains a website with resources on gardening, and provides support for school gardening projects.
For details about open house locations and scheduled activities, or to learn more about the Maine School Garden Network, go to the MSGN website, www.msgn.org

Waterford impress with emphatic win over Cork in League final
Waterford claimed their third ever Allianz Hurling League title with a very impressive 1-24 to 0-17 win over Munster rivals Cork at Semple Stadium.
The Deise previously won League titles in 1963 and 2007 but this was surely the sweetest of the trio as they became the first team outside the top flight to take the crown since Offaly in 1991.
Waterford defied their 2/1 odds as the crushed the Rebel challenge every bit as emphatically as their ten-point margin suggests.
The teams will meet again in the Munster semi-final in five weeks' time so Jimmy Barry Murphy has plenty of time to recharge his side's batteries after what was a a woeful performance.
On the field it has been a horrible week for the Rebel County as this surrender was every bit as embarrassing and emphatic as last Sunday's implosion by the footballers in the League football decider against Dublin.
Waterford led all the way and while a deflected goal from Waterford substitute Tom Devine six minutes from the end wrapped up the game there was never any period that Cork looked likely to rescue the contest.
The fact that Waterford hit 15 wides compared to ten for their opponents sums up the dominance of Declan McGrath's side.
They imposed their game plan on a more experienced Cork side. Collectively the Rebels failed to respond and with the honourable exceptions of Conor Lehane, who scored five points from play and defenders Stephen McDonnell and Cormac Murphy in the first half none of the Cork players responded to the challenge.
The tendency of Cork to collapse in big games is now becoming an alarming habit from their perspective - they were wiped out in last year's All-Ireland semi-final by Tipperary.
They were hardly complacent given the nature of their great escape in the semi-final against Dublin and given the fact that they haven't won the National League title since 1998 they could hardly turn up their noses at the prospect of winning the silverware.
All, of course, will be forgiven and forgotten if Cork beat Waterford in the championship but right now the odds favour the Deise.
Kevin Moran was the official Man of the Match though Austin Gleeson - for his first half performance - and Pauric Mahony, who scored 11 points, were worthy contenders.
But the unsung hero of the Waterford victory was corner back Noel Connors who held Cork's key forward Patrick Horgan scoreless from play.
Waterford were by no means flattered by their four-point interval lead (0-11; 0-7). The Deise's wing back Gleeson was the outstanding personality in an otherwise lack lustre period in which defences dominated.
He converted a sideline from more than sixty metres and also landed a long range point as the Deise took the contest to the favourites.
Maurice Shanahan operated as the target man on the edge of the Cork square but rookie full back Aidan Ryan did well against him. The presence of sweeper Cormac Murphy alongside him was a source of constant reassurance.
Murphy, indeed, played a huge amount of ball in the first period as Waterford's tactical approach didn't work and they wasted a huge amount of possession.
At the other end the Cork attack, who lost corner forward Alan Cadogan through injury after 13 minutes, failed to make a tangible impact against the packed Waterford defence.
Still, they ought to have a goal after 20 minute when Seamus Harnedy got thorough after a questionable sideline decision at the other end but Waterford keeper Stephen O'Keeffe brilliantly saved his low drive.
The second half followed a similar pattern but gradually Waterford began to pull away .
They were seven points clear when Lehane crashed the sliotar off the Waterford crossbar and although he pointed from the rebound that squandered chance marked the beginning of the end from a Cork perspective.
The official attendance was 17,559.
Waterford: S O'Keeffe; N Connors, B Coughlan, S Fives; A Gleeson (0-2, 1 sideline), T De Burca, Philip Mahony; J Barron (0-1), K Moran (0-3); C Dunford, Pauric Mahony (0-11, 8f, 1 45), M Walsh (0-2); J Dillon, M Shanahan (0-2) S Bennett (0-1). Subs: B O'Halloran (0-1) for Dunford 59m; T Devine (1-1) for Bennett 61m, S O'Sullivan for Dillon 67m, M O'Neill for Gleeson 70m, G O'Brien for Barron 71m
Cork: A Nash; S O'Neill, A Ryan, S McDonnell; L McLoughlin, M Ellis, C Murphy; D Kearney, A Walsh (0-1); B Cooper (0-1), S Harnedy (0-2), R O'Shea (0-1); A Cadogan, C Lehane (0-5), P Horgan (0-7, 7f).

Field hockey's world body FIH is planning a tournament for the world's top clubs that would see India emerge as a hub for the sport, according to media reports.
"The FIH is planning to hold the Club World Cup in India," FIH chief Leandro Negre said was quoted as saying in Friday's The Indian Express. "It is too early to say anything about the event, but my personal wish is to start the tournament next year."
Negre said the tournament was being planned with five continental champion teams from Europe, Asia, the Americas, Africa and Australia, along with the Hockey India League champion team and two wild card entrants.
"The proposal is still under discussion and we'll make an announcement shortly. The proposal is to hold the Club World Cup for the first four years in India and then, maybe, shift it to other nations. We would like to have a contract with a nation for four-five years but it can be trimmed," he added.
Negre hoped the suspension of the Indian Olympic Association by parent body International Olympic Committee would not prove to be a roadblock in the revival of the game in the country.
"The next Olympics is still some time away and I hope the matter will be resolved soon between the IOC and IOA. But if it is not resolved and the IOC asks us to stop India from participating in international competitions, it will be a shame," he added.
The FIH has already carved out a three-week window in the sport's calendar for the ongoing HIL, which involves the world's top players representing five city-based franchises: Delhi Waveriders, Jaypee Punjab Warriors, Uttar Pradesh Wizards, Mumbai Magicians and Ranchi Rhinos.
The HIL is designed to revive the sport as India has struggled in recent years after ruling the hockey world for several decades. Its last of eight Olympic gold medals came at the boycott-marred 1980 Moscow Olympics.
Meanwhile, Hockey India secretary-general Narinder Batra told reporters on Thursday that India would bid for the 2018 World Cup.

Travel around China and get paid. Provide child care to a screened host family.
Being an au pair in China is a great program if you want to travel and earn money at the same time! Add to that great combo a loving host family where you will have all of your meals, a private bedroom and all the support you need.
If you are between the ages of 18 and 30, we're interested in having you join us. All we need to begin is for you to hold a passport from the United States and Canada, UK, Ireland, Australia, New Zealand or South Africa. We will screen your host family, ensuring you have a safe, comfortable environment and that they are a suitable host. We will also provide you with a clear set of guidelines and expectations that are set with your host family. We will also help you make new friends during your time there. Various social events are often planned so that you have the opportunity to meet other Au Pairs working in China. That's great chance to share your experiences with other Au Pairs from all over the world, to learn Chinese together and to make new friends. There are also organized trips to see local cities and explore the area.
Your private room and meals are included with your placement fee. Provide up to 25 hours each week of child care for the family and you'll be paid around $450 US each month. You will be taking care of the children, escorting them to school, playing and teaching them, etc. And then time is spent each week tutoring the children in English. This can be done while helping with homework, playing with the children, taking them to a playground, or casually around the house.
70% of the Chinese families we use for the Au Pair program have one child. 30% of the families have 2 or more children.
Some of our au pairs tell us the bond they form with their host family can last a lifetime. We know some au pairs who actually fly back a few years later for a reunion or to attend a milestone event for one of the children they cared for. You will be able to participate in family activities, share cultures, make friends in your new community and with other au pairs in the area … a built in social network to make your time abroad a lot more fun, exciting and rewarding.
Becoming an au pair in China is a serious position … and while you do get paid to travel … your main responsibilities are the children you care for. While you might consider yourself patient, fun-loving and perfect for a job like this … think about how responsible you are and your previous experience with children under your care. If you're ready … we have incredible families who need you right away, living in amazing locations in China.
Be ready to get to know and love the everyday life in China, enjoy a second home with new friends, become more independent and confident, discover new interests, put your organizational and creative skills to the test, get to know yourself better, add an international reference to your resume in order to help with future job applications as you become an au pair in China.
Do you enjoy helping children with homework, assisting in keeping children's rooms and play areas clean, preparing snacks and meals for children, and dropping them off or picking them up from school or activities? If the answer is "yes" then this program is definitely for you.
This is a great program for people who want to experience life in China and the Chinese culture in-depth. The program has a focus on you providing child care for the family, who in turn will pay you. But there is also a big cultural exchange component, and host families are excited to share the characteristics of their country, culture and cuisine.
Aside from earning money while you travel, our Au Pairs have the opportunity to learn more about children and influence their lives. As an Au Pair you develop more self-confidence and become more independent. Living with a family in their own country gives you an amazing insight into that county's culture, values and people.
- Yes! There are enough host families seeking Au Pairs, it is possible to place you and a friend near one another.
- 3, 6, 9 or 12 months. Most families prefer an au pair who can commit to 9 or 12 months.
- $350 for 6, 9 or 12 months. $599 for 3 months.
You will earn a minimum monthly stipend of approximately US$450.
Surprisingly, when au pair program fees and other expenses paid are compared with pocket money earned plus the value of room and board, au pairs earn more than they spend.
Did you know that being an au pair is one of the most affordable ways to experience international travel even if you have to pay program fees and flight expenses?
Costs (Based on staying 12 months)
- $350 program fee due before you leave.
- $0 airfare. Depending on how long you go, families will pay portions of the airfare. We found a roundtrip airfare of $1,028 on STA Travel from Chicago. Amount will depend on your own departure city and date. The family will reimburse up to $1,450 of your air, so there would be no cost to the au pair.
How Much Will I Make?
- $5,400 salary. This is around $450 a month for twelve months.
- You get 1 ½ days off each week and your health and accident insurance is paid.
- In a twelve-month placement you will receive a $200 completion bonus.
So …
- You will make around $5,600 over the twelve months as an AuPair including your bonus.
- Airfare is paid for by your host family.
- That means you could clear around $5,451! ($5,600 less $149 cost) And your room and board are covered too!
- Don't forget the 60 hours of formal Mandarin lessons, which would normally cost $1,500US.
- The value of your health insurance, which could be around $500 for the year.
- Don't forget that the value of your room (you don't have to pay rent) and meals (you don't have to buy food) is approximately $6,650. This figure is based on the cost of staying in Chinese hostels and eating the lowest cost meals.
- Total financial value of this package is $14,101.
Why Is There A Placement Fee? It's like I'm paying to get a job.
Over the years we have met au pairs who have had horrible experiences when they thought they were going into a fantastic overseas au pair job only to find out the family where they were living was not screened, families dismissed au pairs routinely without paying them, and there was no one to turn to for help and support. No one to look out for them. And because they were on their own, they were lonely.
At GeoVisions, we have pre-screened the families and the position and in some cases, we have placed au pairs with that family before. We make sure you're being paid the highest stipend possible. We provide a person in-country to help you and to be there for you. You will meet other au pairs just like you and we provide social activities with other au pairs. In fact, if your placement doesn't work out, we will move you to another family (based on circumstances).
We have negotiated reduced airfare for you and we have negotiated 60-hours of Mandarin lessons so that you don't have to pay to learn the language. We introduce you to other au pairs and provide activities for you to enjoy China and make new friends. On your own you are … well … on your own.
Can I choose my location?
You cannot choose your location in China. Almost all of our placements are in Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou, or Shenzhen.
What if I don't like my placement when I arrive or I have host family issues? Can I move?
Before you depart, we connect you via email, phone and Skype with your new host family. You'll have all the details you want before you ever leave home. GeoVisions spends a great deal of time on match-making. It is the only way the program will be successful. There needs to be a "connection" between you and your host family. You will Skype, call or email your family before you pay the balance of your program fees. It's the only way everyone will be happy.
But after you arrive if you're having issues, we have a way to start the process to fix things or, change your placement, if necessary. This is extremely rare, but we've done this long enough to know things can come up on all sides.
Can I be placed with someone? I'd like to travel with a friend.
Unfortunately, host families needing an au pair have the room for one extra person in the home. So we are unable to provide a homestay for anyone except one au pair per household. If you want to apply with someone else, they would be placed with another family. We would try hard to find a host family so you would be close to one another, but we could not guarantee that.
If you're set on traveling with someone and they must be close by, take a look at our other program types, because we do have those kinds of placements. Give us a call and ask.
Some Fun Cultural Differences
By being aware of some of the cultural differences you lessen the impact of culture shock and you make your life considerably easier. Here is a list of some of the more overt cultural differences of Western culture in relation to Chinese culture:
Food Etiquette
Food etiquette in China is different from other cultures. Watch what they do. You will be amazed. Slurping and reaching for food is totally acceptable as is removing food from one's mouth and putting it on the table. Note that playing with chopsticks and making faces at the food (no matter how disgusted you might be) is not acceptable. Showing this emotion is considered a loss of face. Also note that going "dutch" is seen as unfriendly. If you offer to pay for everyone's meal it will develop your relationship with him or her or them, even though they may not let you actually pay.
We might as well address the one thing you HAVE to get used to. People. And lots of them. If you choose to travel or go out you will be exposed to crowds. On public holidays the masses of people will become readily apparent as you shop with 1.5 billion Chinese. Don't expect people to wait in line. There is very little sense of personal space.
Visiting a Person's House
If you are invited to a Chinese person's house, which will happen, always take a gift of fruit or flowers. A pre-made basket of fruit costs about $5.00. A bag of oranges or a bunch of flowers only costs a couple of dollars.
Red flowers are good to take. White flowers are only used at funerals. Indian candy or smoked salmon as a "gift from home" always goes over really well.
Smoking is seen as a masculine activity and very few think of it as a health threat or as offensive. Often people will smoke in restaurants with little or no regard for smoking or non-smoking sections. Chinese men constantly offer cigarettes and alcohol to other men. The type of cigarettes a person smokes establishes a class system. To decline an offer of a cigarette or alcohol say gently, "Wo bu hui. Xie xie."
Today, attitudes towards tipping are changing in China. Although the practice is not officially recognized, tips are now frequently offered to and accepted by travel guides, tour bus drivers, porters and waiters in top-class hotels and restaurants. However, tipping is still not expected in most restaurants and hotels. Consumer taxes are included in price tags on goods but big hotels and fine restaurants may include a service charge of 10% or more.
Physical Contact/Holding Hands in Public
Chinese are not big on public displays of affection. You will rarely if ever see couples kissing in public. Shake hands but refrain from hugging, kissing, winking, patting or making physical contact. As a "friend," you will find that men will hold hands with men and women will hold hands with women and walk on the street. This may be "weird" in the west, but it is a common friendly practice for young people/adults in China. You may even have a friend of the same sex try to hold your hand at some point.
Eye Contact
In Western countries one expects to maintain eye contact when we talk with people. This is a norm we consider basic and essential. This is not the case among the Chinese. On the contrary, because of the more authoritarian nature of the Chinese society, steady eye contact is viewed as inappropriate, especially when subordinates talk with their superiors.
Chinese students are not brought up to maintain constant eye contact with their teachers. Eye contact is sometimes viewed as a gesture of challenge or defiance. When people get angry, they tend to maintain steady eye contact. Otherwise, they keep talking looking elsewhere or nonchalant. Also, try to avoid physical content and eye contact with the opposite sex.
Bowing or nodding is the common greeting; however, you may be offered a handshake. Wait for the Chinese to offer their hand first.
Inviting People Home
You are definitely welcome to invite Chinese people to your home. Expect that if you invite them that you will be required to supply everything, just the same as if you invite them to dinner in a restaurant.
Be prepared to be asked your age, or why you are not married or don't have any children. This is not considered prying but rather friendly and expressing interest in your life.
Chinese Hosts Offering Something
Usually when a Chinese host offers a guest refreshments, if the guest declines, the host will ask again twice. Remember this if you entertain at your place. If someone declines they may really want something so you should really ask a couple more times. It makes it look like you are really concerned with their comfort.

After your arrival, you will receive a timetable with duties and working days/hours, so you know exactly the working time. The family must respect your time off. Should the family require you to work outside the usual working hours this must be agreed by both sides and any extra hours worked must be paid.
Included. Au pairs will receive a pre-departure orientation online (approximately 2 hours). There will also be an in-country orientation, usually on the second day in China, that focuses on customs, expectations, weekly schedule, etc.
You must be a native English speaker.
Included. China is one of the world's oldest and richest cultures; over 5000 years old. China is the most populous nation in the world, with 1.28 billion people. One fifth of the planet speaks Chinese. Mandarin Chinese is the mother tongue of over 873 million people, making it the most widely spoken first language in the world. In addition to the People's Republic of China and Taiwan, Mandarin Chinese is also spoken in the important and influential Chinese communities of Indonesia, Thailand, Malaysia, Singapore, Brunei, the Philippines, and Mongolia.
Language classes are provided to au pairs. Each 3 month period will include 60 hours of language classes.
18-30 years old and must have at least a high school diploma. We have placements for both males and females.
Throughout China. Mostly in cities including Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou, or Shenzhen.
Depending on how long you can be an Au Pair in China, your host family will contribute towards the cost of your plane ticket.
The family will pay:
- $370 (approx.) toward your airfare if you commit to 3 months.

Au pairs are responsible for the cost of their visa.
Each Au Pair receives an invitation letter, which is needed for an entry Visa. It is possible to receive a one-year multiple entry Visa. If you are staying less than a year, it is possible that you will receive a 90-day multiple entry Visa. If you need to renew the Visa because you're staying longer than 90-days or you decide while you are in China to extend your Visa, you will need to travel to Hong Kong for a Visa renewal. Your flight to Hong Kong for the Visa renewal will be covered by your host family.
Insurance is required and is paid for by your host family. Your coverage begins upon arrival in China.
Your continued good health and safety during your time abroad is of critical importance to GeoVisions, and to the success of the program.
With the new healthcare and insurance laws in the United States, GeoVisions cannot legally provide travel, health and accident insurance on our group plan for any participant who resides outside the US. If that is you, we hope you will still participate with us. We struggle to understand these insurance laws in our country every day.
For US Citizens, GeoVisions has arranged accident and health insurance services through STA Travel. You will be sent details of the plan appropriate to you before departure. Please read the information about the plan carefully.
If you reside outside the US, please find out if your current health insurance plan covers you when you travel. If it does not, you will need to purchase an insurance plan separately. Then, simply send us a scan or photo of your insurance card. It's that simple. And for the record, we don't understand or agree with these laws either. Your host family will cover this cost.
GeoVisions takes your health very seriously. We have specially trained staff on duty 24 hours a day, 7-days a week to assist you wherever you are.
Included by your host family or our in-country partner.
Included if you are with the children.
Included. You will have a private bedroom at your host family.
Meals while at the host family are included.

The Charlie Weis carousel is spinning. Where will the former Notre Dame coach, who has said he will coach in the NFL next season, end up?
SI.com reported that Weis is a strong candidate to be the offensive coordinator in Kansas City. But could the Bears' dismissal of OC Ron Turner on Tuesday make Weis a candidate in Chicago?
ESPN reported that Weis finds the Bears opening intriguing and might be interested in it, as it is close to his family's home in South Bend, Ind. But whether the Bears and head coach Lovie Smith have mutual interest is unknown.
An NFL insider told SI.com that Weis is a likely candidate to serve as Chiefs coach Todd Haley's OC because of his connections to the team's system. Weis was a longtime Patriots assistant and is familiar with the offense Chiefs QB Matt Cassel (a former Patriot) was trained in.
Plus, Weis would be reunited with Chiefs GM Scott Pioli, with whom he worked in New England. Said the insider to SI.com, "I would expect a decision in the next couple of days." -- Sean Leahy
