It's been forever (and a year) or so it feels! Part of my resolution for this year is to blog more. So, here I am attempting to do so! We'll see how well I do with this..
Anyways, let's cut to the chase! I've been extremely busy and it seems as if so much has changed since I last wrote! I'll split the catch-ups into different posts so it doesn't become too overwhelming to read.
This post will be dedicated to talking about my FIRST ever cookie exchange. When my team proposed the idea back in October, I immediately took to Pinterest and began pinning! I knew I wanted to make a cookie that not only looked delicious, but tasted it as well. (My lucky roommate had the job of Official Taste-Tester). There were so many amazing recipes, I couldn't hardly contain my excitement! Pin, pin, pin (I swear, I should work for Pinterest! After all, it's been an integral part of my life for 2 years now, and I've turned many people onto it!) Whew, tangent. Bring it back. K. I decided I needed a cookie that fit the prior criteria, but one that was also called fairly inexpensive ingredients and yielded a large number (7 1/2 dozen to be exact). I know, 90 cookies sounds like a lot! The way we did it, was, we divided the number of cookies by the amount of people attending-each person would take home one 1/2 dozen cookies per person in attendance. We had 15 people.
After many months of searching, I had narrowed it down to 2. Now, I can't spoil it and tell you what the other cookie choice was, in case I decide to make them next year! (Ok, maybe ill tell you later).
Pinwheel Christmas Cookies were the winners! Then I got to thinking: Christmas..I need peppermint! Peppermint Pinwheel Christmas Cookies! Totally thought I'd made that up, genius that I am (not), but I searched and found! Easy peasy! Well, the. I decided that I wanted my cookies rimmed with sprinkles. Hm. Recipe, do you exist? Why, yes, it did! Glad great minds think alike. I actually combined 2 recipes. This one, and this technique for adding the sprinkles.
Let's cut to the chase. The first batch was a DISASTER! I've never made sugar cookies before and was unaware of how sticky the dough was. *pause-I just ended my elliptical session-goes by super fast when you multitask!*
Ok, so the disaster..super sticky dough. Not good. Needed a lot of flour to rectify the problem, which I was sure would then alter the taste. I decided to bake them anyways, hoping for the best. They didn't bake up too badly, but were super small and slightly burnt at the bottom-turning the pretty green color a poopish green color. Chucked those. Tried again. This time, I searched for a new recipe. To my surprise, this recipe was accompanied by a fabulous tutorial! I watched, watched, and watched again. I was determined to master these cookies.
Poof! Success! The first batch turned out magnificently. Into the second (and final). Oops. I accidentally spilled the peppermint extract into the dough. Oh well. It didn't affect the taste too much. They did taste very pepperminty, though.
Here's the finished product!
I'll post the links to the recipes and tutorial later tonight! I'm blogging from my phone :)

Hooray, Happy Wednesday!
We have the day off today, as many are celebrating Yom Kippur. I've spent most of the day running to and fro between appointments. I am one that creates lists, and it felt SO wonderful to have been able to check off 3 major things on that list that have been looming over my head: 1.) (the dreaded) MVA to switch for NYS tags to MD, 2.) the doctor's (just a physical, not to worry), 3.) apartment complex parking pass (because, if you don't have one, they will tow your car and it'll cost you $160--sad day). Needless to say, it feels GREAT to have these 3 things accomplished! Now, onto knocking off the other numbers so that I can feel good about that, too!
So, what am I doing on my day off besides running errands? Well, I had every intention of going to Barnes & Noble to get some work done, but, I decided to bake instead (which then made me want to blog), so I did both! Here's some evidence..
Starving, yet? Haha. As I was baking these, I couldn't help but wish to be able to bottle up the delicious cinnamon raisin scent moving through the kitchen. Instead, I decided to settle with burning my current favorite candle: Spiced Cider, from Bath & Body Works. They had their fantastic 2 for $20 3 wick candle sale-which is about the only time I allow myself to indulge and purchase. (I do the same at Victoria's Secret-only purchasing when they have their 7 for $26 sale). I just bought this delicious smelling candle about 2 weeks ago, and it's almost completely used! Off to B&B to purchase more while the sale still lasts!
Maybe, soon, I'll post some teacher-created Special Education resources that I've been working so hard on. They have taken me FOREVER to complete, but, I just keep telling myself how much easier it'll make life by having them to reference throughout the year. Coming soon! Stay tuned :)

Baking up a storm..
As the smell of freshly baked Red Velvet cupcakes (recipe courtesy of the one and only, Skinnytaste) wafts through my apartment, I feel compelled to blog…again. I'm off from work until Monday, so, I figured I'd take all of the time that I have to enjoy being off, and actually do the crafting/baking/blogging that I've been meaning to do for quite some time.
I'm baking in preparation for my 26th birthday celebration this Saturday, which I've strategically planned the menu for. It consists of: Southwestern Black Bean Salad served with Baked Scoops Chips for an appetizer, Spinach Lasagna Rolls with Rosemary Garlic Parmesan Biscuits and a side salad, and for dessert, an assortment of mini red velvet cupcakes with cream cheese frosting and red velvet cupcakes with chocolate glaze. Mmmm, my mouth is honestly watering while typing (and now my stomach is grumbling, haha). Everything is even already made! I froze the lasagna rolls and the biscuits, and am letting the Black Bean salad marinate for a few days, because many said it gets even better after it marinates a while! Clearly, I'm super excited about this! So, I figure, while we are eating the delicious appetizer, I'll have the lasagna and biscuits baking in the oven, and while that's happening, we'll let the games (literally) begin! I've planned to have a murder mystery dinner night—hence the chosen menu. The murder mystery theme is called Pasta, Pistols, and Passion. I chose the low-fat lasagna dish as opposed to a higher calorie one so that we could indulge in everything else that's on the menu without feeling too guilty about doing so! I really think we're going to have a blast! I can't wait!
I will certainly be taking pictures of the entire spread on Saturday! Yippee!
Ironically enough, after having written this post primarily about food, I'm off to the gym! Later, loves!
Being that it's not yet the start of the school year, I figured I'd continue posting some personal things, prior to blogging about teacher-related things. This post is going to depict the recent developments that have come about recently. The first, which will lead to the others, is my weight loss. I believe my weight topped an all-time high of 150 lbs. about a year ago. Why, you ask? Something I like to call "happy fat." I was at a point in my life where I had not a care in the world about what I looked like, but was primarily concerned with keeping my spirits high as often as I could, and food was what I looked forward to. I had just moved to Binghamton, NY to pursue my Masters in Special Education, and I was sad being away from home and my family, so I had to find things to look forward to during the day to fill the void. Clearly, I turned to food. Prior to moving, I never cooked, and anything that I tried to make was seemingly inedible. Gross, yeah! I had two recipes under my belt, which I would repeat from time to time, but let's be honest here, one will get sick of the repetition of two items after some time. So, I experimented and found that as long as I follow a recipe to a T, I actually CAN cook, and am not so terrible at it after all. I made things, and enjoyed eating them, as well as making things for others and watching them enjoy it too. I also loved pizza and dining out, a little too much. I did not care what I ate—didn't feel guilty in the least for indulging every day….as long as I was happy. What I realized, though, was that I wasn't. In the back of my mind, I knew that I was gaining weight, and it just didn't look good. I'm 5'2…so, needless to say…150 lbs did not look great on me. I have a small frame but am curvy, so I was able to hide it a little, but it was easy to see that the weight just didn't sit right on me, I am built to be smaller.
So, that brings me to today…after finishing my Masters, I moved back home, and landed a job shortly after in Maryland. Again, attempting to fill the void by having little things to look forward to like good eats on a daily basis, the weight situation did not change. It wasn't until I joined a local dance team, and became slightly more comfortable with my current living situation, that I was able to take control. With the help of many, I began my weight loss journey—which is very difficult (and extremely trying at times). To date, I've lost about 40 lbs. I began by exploring Skinnytaste, and being that I desperately wanted to continue my cooking journey, I figured what better way to do so than to explore a healthy eating cooking blog! It
One thing I had to learn the hard way was that dieting and eating right would not make me lose weight by itself, and that I actually needed to couple it with exercise. I
My next journey is to figure out how to maintain my eating healthy while making my friends happy. I'm the type of person that tries to make everyone happy, because if they're happy, I'm happy. I tend to put my happiness by the wayside, and focus primarily on theirs, which is making this journey extremely trying and difficult, because this is something I just don't want to waver on, even though I know it will make them happy. For once, I'm focusing on myself, and my ultimate happiness. It's a struggle, and I'm sure it will continue to be for quite some time. Thankfully, I have my parents' unwavering support. I cannot tell you how much it means to me to have them cheering me on, standing beside me, supporting me, and even joining me in my weight loss journey. So, cheers to weight loss, and to happiness…my happiness, ha!
Here's a picture taken while I was at Binghamton almost 2 years ago (left) and one taken this June (right).
I'll be taking another updated picture soon, because since following that body building blog, I've actually gained a teensy bit of muscle, too! Yippee!
That's all for now! Thanks for reading!

Hello, lovelies! As my day is winding down, I'm glad to finally be home, in bed. Today was quite the (unanticipated) busy day. I started out fairly early for a non-work day (10 a.m.-yeah, not so early, huh?) I grabbed a quick bowl of Special K Red Berries (mm, my fav!) and made some Godiva Chocolatier Hazelnut coffee, then quickly dressed into my workout clothes and ran to the gym to meet my cousin for a quick a.m. workout. After that, we went to Starbucks and quickly viewed her beautiful wedding photos she recently received back from her amazing photographer (Rothwell Photography in D.C.) –Check them out, they are amazing…you won't be disappointed, I assure you. After we left, I took a quick shower and was off and running again-had to tutor an incoming third grader. Right from her house, I was on the road to meet a friend at an Irish Pub about an hour away in Winchester, MD-which was equidistant for both of us, being that he lives in York, PA. We later found out that Baltimore (Inner Harbor) would have also been equidistant, so we mutually decided that that would be our meeting spot, next time. We also mentioned possibly going to the National Aquarium, which I'm psyched about! Anyways, I'm just now getting home from my adventures today, and decided a great way to wind down, would be to blog.
I've been doing a bit of crafting lately, and am highly considering starting an Etsy shop to sell my wine bottle lights. Unfortunately, the pictures that I've taken of the few bottles that I've made recently don't have the lights included inside of them yet, because no stores in the area actually sell Christmas lights during this time of year. I happened to randomly think of calling Christmas Tree Shop to see if they sold Christmas lights, and I thankfully found that they do, but unfortunately there aren't any shops in the surrounding area—bummer! Here are a few pictures of the wine bottles that I've made thus far. You might just have to use your imagination and pretend that there are pretty lights inside.
The top photo has purple glass beads with twine wrapped around the tip of the bottle, whereas the bottom bottle has gold/brown glass beads, original gold wrapping, and a twine bow at the top. The bottles are also different shapes, the bottom is more slim and narrow than the top. My hopes are that I can make the bottles fully customizable, to fit the specific client's wants/needs. Choices will range from bottle shape, embellishments such as bead color, twine, twine bow, leaves, cork/no cork, and twirly twigs. These wine bottle lights make a great gift, and will be sent in wine bottle boxes for shipping and gifting. Hopefully, people will enjoy these as much as I do! They honestly go great with any kitchen decor!
That's all for now, I suppose! Till tomorrow!

Hey everyone! The week flew by rather quickly, but went rather well! On Monday night, I had the amazing opportunity to meet one of my favorite authors, Emily Giffin! She was everything I had hoped she would be, and more! She was absolutely adorable and so hilarious. I arrived at the book signing 2 hours early and was actually the first person there (that's honestly the first time that I've EVER been the first person to arrive at an event like that), but being early definitely paid off. Emily was super cute and even took pictures of US! AND she put them on her Facebook page! So stinkin cute! Of course I'll be posting those photos here for you to see, as well. I can't wait to go to more book signings in the future. This one came about, really, by happenstance. I was actually walking around Bethesda with my boyfriend about a month ago, and we walked by Barnes & Noble. As we were walking, I noticed a sign that mentioned that Emily would be doing a book signing there. I couldn't believe my eyes! I couldn't believe that the book signing was a.) happening with one of my most favorite authors, and b.) happening so close to where I lived (only 25 minutes away)! I was PSYCHED! Now I'll be keeping my eyes peeled for future visits and signings by my other favorite authors: Janet Evanovich and Nicholas Sparks. If David Catrow just so happen to grace me with his presence at one of the schools any time soon, that would also be amazing and spectacular! Side note: I really wanted to mention to Emily that if she by chance ever needed a nanny or personal assistant, I'd totally be her girl..but..I chickened out. Maybe next time.
The top picture is one that Emily took while standing on a chair (I'm 2nd from the right-front row-my cousin is to my left). The bottom right picture is another one that Emily took-a girl in the crowd bought her a cupcake from Georgetown cupcakes, which was right down the road (they have a shop in Bethesda).
Last, but not least, I need to show you this hilarious picture. Emily took this one too, but I doubt she noticed my cousin's face in the background...
I know what you're thinking..that Linds looks completely disgusted by something! That honestly wasn't the case, haha, which makes it even more hilarious, in my opinion. Linds was merely admiring Emily's wedding rings (which were breathtakingly beautiful). My expression isn't nearly as noteworthy as hers, ha!
That's all for now. I'll be back later for more, I'm sure!

Let the databases do some of the work. Many of the databases on the Databases A-Z list have an internal feature that will produce a citation in various styles. Look for a link or icon titled "cite" or "save, print, email." You will have to check for accuracy, but it is a great way to get started.
The standard APA guides (see Citation Styles and Guides) will help with articles and other standard sources, but some common business resources are not covered well, and you may not find many examples or specific guidelines. Here are some examples that will help:

This volume argues through a series of selected local studies, for the importance of qtextual criticismq as a fundamental act of historical interpretation and recovery, pointing out the need for attention to the physical bearers of our knowledge of the English Middle Ages, the books themselves, and the ignored and alienating features of manuscript culture. The book begins with three essays that seek to problematize medieval book production, to show the procedure as more a fluid and emergent than a foreplanned process. The following two essays provide theoretical statements about the textual uses of manuscripts.Especially in the case of vernacular texts, one can scarcely underestimate the exemplar poverty of late-medieval England, the difficulty ... (This topic will recur in several subsequent essays.) Middle English texts exist within a prenational literary culture, one with no single canon (or very clearly developed series of canons).

Packing for summer camp
Info Guru, Catalogs.com
Rate This Article:
Thank You For Voting
Begin packing several weeks in advance to avoid last minute shopping trips or scrambles to find that 'must-have' favorite shirt.
Summer camp is more than a vacation; it's a place where a child can develop independence, new skills and the ability to make friends. Summer camp can do so much - encourage an appreciation of the outdoors, foster a spirit of teamwork and cooperation and enable your child to explore talents, interests and values.
To help your child have a successful time at camp this summer, preparation is important. Since your child will be very excited to head off to camp (and perhaps a little apprehensive if this is the first time), it's in your best interest to help him/her pack.
Create a packing list
Create a camp packing list using the recommended list from the camp. Add the other items that your child or teen may need, such as eyeglasses, medication, orthodontic devices, etc. Be sure to check with camp policy regarding medication, as you may need to get doctors' statements or copies of prescriptions to send with your child.
A new pair of pajamas or comfy lounging pants and top make the excitement of overnights at camp even more special. But you should avoid the temptation to buy brand-new activewear, jeans and shorts for your camper. While one or two new items are fine, camp life can be a bit rough on clothing. Children, especially first-timers, will also find "old favorites" reassuring when away from home.
Make a shopping list
Highlight all of the items on the list that you will need to purchase. Go through your child's summer wardrobe and have your child try on items that may have become too small over the past year so that you can add them to the list if needed—this is particularly true of bathing suits, which may be too small even when other items still fit.
Packing for camp
- Three weeks before camp, begin shopping for items your child needs to take to camp. This task should take about one week, but the extra time will allow you to locate items that are out of stock or harder to find than you anticipated.
- Purchase an extra set of hygiene items for your child so that the items can be packed and he/she will not have to remember the day that camp begins. For example, purchase a toothbrush and toothpaste to pack and leave their home set at home.
- Label all of your items with his/her name. This is important. You can go online and order press-on labels for clothing, towels, etc. Use water repellant markers for other items.
- A "stuff" bag for your teen's sleeping bag and pillow is a must. A rolled sleeping bag always comes unraveled when walking through camp.
- Place toiletries in a type of plastic bag kit or plastic basket that would make it easy to travel to the showers. The kit should be big enough to hold shower shoes/flip flops.
- The day before your child leaves for camp, recheck the list, pack up all of the gear and close the bag.
- Make a list of what is packed and include it with your child's belongings, so she knows what she's bringing
- Familiarize yourself with any camp regulations regarding food and money
- Include plastic bags or a laundry bag for wet or dirty clothing
- Encourage your child to pack a favorite picture or stuffed animal as a reminder of home
- Include some stamped envelopes or pre-addressed postcards and sharpened pencils or ball point pens.
- Do not pack things that are on the 'not allowed' list. This will just cause problems for your child when they arrive at camp. If you have concerns about something on the forbidden list, talk with the camp director before your child leaves.
- Stick a note in your child's bag where it will be found in the first couple of days just so he/she will know you're thing about.
- Buy a couple of books by your child's favorite author or the next few books in the series they're reading. Books are great to have for rainy days or other "down time"
Other sleep-away camp tips:
- Send a letter to your child at camp before camp begins to that she will have a letter waiting for her on that first, very important day.
- Look into your camp's phone call regulations and discuss them with your child. If the camp has a no phone calls policy, then honor it and make sure your child also understands this policy. If you do plan to make calls, then reach an agreement ahead of time with your child on when and how often.
- Care packages can be the highlight of your child's day when at camp, but think smart when putting one together. Check with the camp regarding guidelines on food as many do not allow it. If you do send food, be sure to include enough for everyone in the cabin!

Skip to comments.The Prerevolutionary War: Book Review
Posted on 01/07/2006 12:27:03 PM PST by Pharmboy
In 1754, a senseless massacre began innocently enough. A young George Washington, leading a force of Virginia volunteers and Indians, stumbled into an engagement with a French detachment in a remote Allegheny glen. To this day, the circumstances are cloudy as to who shot first and how the hostilities broke out. What is not in doubt is that Washington bungled badly: he lost control of his men, and before the mayhem ended, 13 Frenchmen were killed, wounded soldiers were brutally scalped and one man was even decapitated.
As is so often the case in history, this one small act, however miscalculated, had large consequences. It incited the French and Indian War (also known as the Seven Years' War). This was a confrontation no one wanted, but what started as a remote skirmish produced a chain of events that culminated in a fierce struggle among the British, the French and dozens of American Indian nations fighting for control of North America. And the conflagration eventually spread to Canada, the Caribbean, India, even the Philippines.
Yet, Fred Anderson writes, for all the conflict's scope and carnage, not to mention its implications, Americans are no more familiar with it than they are with the Peloponnesian War. This is a pity. True, Americans have long had an unquenchable appetite for the Civil War, and more recently for the founding fathers. But however obscure, the inaptly named French and Indian War is itself a drama of considerable significance, one that deserves to be rescued from the graveyard. It was Winston Churchill, after all, who once termed it the "first world war." Anderson, a history professor at the University of Colorado and the author of the splendid "Crucible of War: The Seven Years' War and the Fate of Empire in British North America, 1754-1766,"
(Excerpt) Read more at nytimes.com ...
RevWar/Colonial History/General Washington ping list (FreepMail me if you want to be placed on or off the list)
Revolution bump.
Library list!
Was Washington responsible for the Peloponnesian War, too? No doubt he crossed the Delaware in triremes.
Pharmboy, I don't post much but, I do want you to know I read and appreciate each item you post.
I agree with the paragraphs posted! It was that Allengenhy skirmish that Captain Washington spent the whole of his life, stalwart and resolute, to fix. At the time Washington confessed in writing to being THE Assassin who fired the shot which killed the French nobleman and legate. Sort of like the situation of Moses, both Washington and Moses were killers as young men by Necessities' Circumstance, and yet by the dedication, resolve and humility of the remainder of their lifes each came to found a great Nation.
On the contrary, he sired 4 children. Sadly, he and Martha outlived all of them.
The book is probably very good ,but the reviewer is full of BS, he immediately starts drawing the cloak of concealment over the American Indian,his role in the massacre, and his role as a bloodthirsty nightmare in the conflicts of the time, ands times soon to follow. No white commander whether British, French, Spanish, or American could control them even when under their command, although
Rogers Rangers did finally break the back of the powerful Iroquois.
I'm glad you posted, since my post seemed negative to wards Indians, I was afraid I would get flamed badly. I would recommend to everyone to study this era, but they better be ready for some very ugly realities to be revealed that will shatter much of what has been taught for the last 40 or so years in both schools and Hollywood.
My information is a bit different...he was a lt. colonel in the Virginia militia at the time and not a captain. Also, he never said he fired the first shot at Jumonville Glen...since he did not.
Thank you for your kind words of acknowledgement. Much appreciated.
Washington sired no children, SC was correct. He was stepfather to two of Martha's by her marriage to Daniel Parke Custis. Unfortunately, he and Martha outlived them both and mourned their loss greatly.
:') thanks Pharmboy. Plus, I was just makin' an ironic joke. ;')
Oh...I know--you're fine. It just frosts my behind when people post wrong info about The General as that other guy did.
He lives out the brief remainder of his life in the soft comforts of his wife, who has endured long years of sacrifice both by the absence of her husband and the death of all four of her children.
I misunderstood at first reading that the children referred to weren't also his. It was such a sad statement that it stuck with me. SunkenCiv's post called it back out. No offense meant... just trying to be helpful... poorly.
Thank you for correcting the record.

The Australian Law Reform Commission (ALRC) released its report on its inquiry into the prevention of, and remedies for, serious invasions of privacy in the digital era on 3 September 2014. The majority of its 16 recommendations relate to proposals for a new statutory tort for serious invasion of privacy. Coincidentally, the release of the ALRC report came days after news of the apparent hacking of a number of celebrities' cloud storage accounts and the online publication of intimate personal photos from those accounts. How would such incursions on privacy stand up to the proposed cause of action for serious invasion of privacy?
The ALRC has proposed a statutory civil cause of action for intentional or reckless invasions of privacy that are serious and that cannot be justified in the public interest. It is proposed that a plaintiff must demonstrate that their privacy was invaded either by intrusion on seclusion or through misuse of private information. A person in the position of the plaintiff should also have had a reasonable expectation of privacy in all of the circumstances in order to be successful in their claim.
Reasonable expectation of privacy
The ALRC has recommended a number of factors that a court should have regard to in determining whether a person in the position of the plaintiff would have had a reasonable expectation of privacy in all of the circumstances including: the nature of the private information (such as intimate/family, health/medical, or financial matters) and how it was held (e.g. utilising password protection or in a private communication/diary); the means used to obtain the information; and, the purpose of the misuse, disclosure or intrusion. Other factors that should be considered include the conduct of the plaintiff and the extent to which they invite publicity or desire privacy.
Seriousness of the breach
In determining whether a breach is a serious breach and is therefore actionable under the proposed new cause of action, the ALRC has recommended that a court should have regard to the degree of any offence, distress or harm to dignity that the invasion of privacy was likely to cause to a person of ordinary sensibilities in the position of the plaintiff; and whether the defendant's intention was malicious or whether the defendant knew the invasion was likely to offend, distress or harm the dignity of the plaintiff.
If we assume that the proposed tort has been enacted, that the perpetrator is identifiable and that the recent hacking and online publication of nude photos of various A-list celebrities would be actionable in Australia, would the other elements of the proposed new tort be established?
The hacking of personal cloud storage accounts and publication of nude photographs obtained as a result, is clearly a serious invasion of privacy as contemplated by the ALRC recommendations for the new tort. At this point however, the proposed new tort is only a proposal and there are questions over the constitutional power of the Commonwealth to legislate for this new tort, as well as the appetite of the current government to enact the recommendations for reform. It remains to be seen if this or future governments will legislate for the new tort.

Some positions may also require knowledge of specific computer programs or experience in the general field, such as mechanical knowledge for an entry-level technician job.Continue Reading
United Airlines offers a wide range of entry-level positions at various locations, ranging from its corporate offices to various airports to which it offers service, with each position including requirements that reflect the core responsibilities and actions of the role. For example, one common entry-level position is for a Ramp Service Employee, which involves loading luggage and client cargo onto and off of planes. As such, the requirements primarily focus on the physical ability to perform actions such as lifting the luggage and moving it between locations, pushing hand carts or crouching down to reposition loads.
The company also offers entry-level customer service roles, many of which exist at airport terminals. These roles require proficiency in English and basic communication skills to allow the applicant to work with customers to process ticketing requests. It also requires applicants to hold at least a high school diploma or equivalent certification and have a flexible work schedule to allow for shifts at all hours, due to the nature of airline travel.Learn more about Career Aspirations

Field Research Technician
Working in the field as a Research and Lab Technician, I assisted on seasonal stream discharge projects, measuring stream flow and snowpack in remote areas. The research required operating and managing dataloggers and weather monitoring equipment. I have experience assisting in habitat and substrate assessment requiring drilling and soil sampling. This position exposed me to index sampling methods, survey design and planning where extensive benthic and basal sampling mapping was required.


text: Some stories are more worth telling that others. In this case the story is that of a great story teller, and this month HBO is telling it. I got my first look at this wonderful retrospective of the life of sportscasting legend Marty Glickman this week. It's a passionate and heartfelt work by the network Glickman himself helped launch as, originally, an all sports network, the predecessor to the hundreds that today dot every cable system. To call Glickman a sportscasting legend is to almost demean Glickman the man, undercrediting the rest of his remarkable life. I had the pleasure of knowing Marty Glickman during the years in the 1980's, when he came out of retirement to broadcast UCONN football and basketball games for the Connecticut Radio Network. I knew then what was confirmed by HBO's documentary, that his life is one that can't be confined to the narrow borders of a T-V screen. The story of Marty Glickman is much larger than the story of one life. An athlete of international talent, an All American sprinter and football player at Syracuse, where no less a Syracuse legend than Jim Brown credits him with setting the standard for all Orange running backs to come, Marty was also an Olympic sprinter, a member of the 1936 U.S. team at the "Nazi" games in Germany, where he and Sam Stoller, the only two Jews on the team, were informed the day before they were to take part in the 4 X 100 relay that they were being replaced, robbed of a chance to compete that they'd worked so hard for, and the gold medal they surely would have won, because of their religion. It would be decades before Marty admitted he knew all along USOC chairman Avery Brundage ordered their removal because he didn't want to embarrass Olympic host Adolph Hitler. Marty Glickman and Sam Stoller became two of the most compelling political figures of the 20th century. It was in another field that Glickman would emerge as a giant, the greatest ever to ply the craft. "The father of play by play broadcasting" he literally created the art at the side court of New York Knicks games, allowing fans to "watch" the games on the radio as he integrated such terms as "Swish" and phrases as "Good like Nedicks" into the national lexicon. From the late 50's through the 60's Glickman and the New York Giants were synonomous with each other. Though he passed away in 2001, much of this must see documentary is narrated by Glickman himself and it closes with a roll call of the great sportscasters who followed, all of whom were coached, taught and encouraged by Glickman. The focus is on his legendary years in his native New York and the New York sportscasters he developed, with no mention of his years with UCONN. It was during those years that I added my name to that list. I was a sponge whenever I was in his presence, in press boxes all over the northeast, on car trips through the back roads of Pennsylvania and New Jersey, stopping at his beloved road side diners for a bite to eat, accumulating course hour upon course hour at Glickman U., the most prolific producer of sportscasters in the history of the field. Like the true greats in any profession Marty Glickman never seemed to be aware of his own status. His greatest joy came from helping those who would follow in his path, patiently telling Gale Seirens, as he prepped her to become the first female play by play announcer in NFL history, that he would not let her fail. The great thing about Marty Glickman that this HBO treatment goes to great pains to relate, is that, for all the things he was, his place in history and his status as THE giant of a field he helped create, he was a wonderful human being, one of the finest I have ever had the pleasure to call a friend. You really owe it to yourself to see this documentary, to know one of the great figures of our time. Bring the Kleenex. With a comment from the sports world, I'm Scott Gray.

Indigenous Dissertation Archive: Archive of Seminal Work in Indigenous Follow. Implementing UNDRIP will require new laws and ongoing negotiations between the federal authorities and Indigenous nations. Some college students, including Koostachin, left their hometown as a way to receive a greater training. The undertaking, to be led by Chris Sara, will help make sure that faculty leaders throughout Australia are supported and challenged in ways that can assist them flip outcomes around for Indigenous students.
Strange provincial and territorial faculties take pleasure in a full vary of these schooling services in pedagogy, administration, supervision and analysis supplied by each faculty board and ministries or departments of education. The program was additionally given to the religious sisters of Poor Clare who have not completed their school education. This type of training of the society will always strive to perpetuate and defend its traditions and aspirations.
The political philosophy which controls the federal government of a country often has its inevitable impact on schooling. This means supporting every faculty to place in place its personal technique to make sure that its Indigenous students are getting efficient support to learn. IEI has been a leader in creating collaborative and dialogical frameworks for working with Indigenous science and Western science in communities, nationwide and international settings.
Third, we're reforming the way in which we take into consideration and develop quality educating and college leadership by means of a $550 million new nationwide partnership. I may also announce that the Indigenous Education Management Institute at the Queensland University of Know-how can even be renamed the Stronger Smarter Institute reflecting the importance of the Stronger Smarter philosophy in delivering transformational change in Indigenous training.
On a world scale, many of these organizations engage in lively data transfer in an effort to protect and promote indigenous data and training modes. The expectation was that by eradicating students from the poorly staffed, inadequately outfitted, closely church-oriented day schools, assimilation could be accelerated and the schooling outcomes of scholars would enhance.
In Africa, European Christian Missionaries did influence and proceed to affect the education system. With the emergence of pc expertise, internet expertise, this has revolutionalised the whole education system particularly within the developed international locations. The introduction of European classroom-fashion schooling as half of a bigger purpose of assimilation disrupted traditional strategies and resulted in cultural trauma and dislocation.

Northwestern upsets New Hampshire
Roundup: Maryland, Connecticut both hold opponents scoreless
LOUISVILLE, Ky. -- In a back-and-forth tussle between two physical opponents, Northwestern emerged victorious against New Hampshire in Louisville, Ky., edging out the Wildcats in blue by a 5-4 margin.
New Hampshire entered the contest as one of two undefeated teams in the country (No. 1 Old Dominion being the other), but ended the day with its first loss -- the second time this season Northwestern has given a top-11 opponent its first loss (No. 11 California was 5-0 before playing the Wildcats).
Both Claire Thompson and Maria Kovalchuk scored two goals en route to the biggest win for the 'Cats since defeating No. 6 Ohio State on Sept. 24, 2010. This is the second time this season that Northwestern has beat a top-10 team (the first was No. 8 American in College Park, Md.) and the fourth time toppling a top-20 opponent.

CHAPEL HILL, N.C. -- Senior Elizabeth Stephens scored 27 seconds into the second overtime period to give the North Carolina field hockey team a 1-0 win against visiting Duke Saturday at Francis E. Henry Stadium. The second-ranked Tar Heels improved to 8-1 on the year and 1-0 in the Atlantic Coast Conference with the win in their ACC opener. Duke, ranked No. 9, fell to 5-4 overall and 1-1 in ACC play.
The victory gives UNC a point in the Battle of the Blues, presented by Continental Tire, which is the annual competition between 23 varsity sports fielded by both schools.
The teams battled through 85 minutes of scoreless play, contested mostly in a steady rain, before Stephens' goal gave the Tar Heels the victory. North Carolina started the second of the 15-minute, seven-on-seven overtime periods a player down after junior Jaclyn Gaudioso Radvany received a yellow card late in the first period and had to sit for five minutes. So Carolina began play with just six players -- five in the field and goalkeeper Sassi Ammer.
No. 3 Maryland 5, Wake Forest 0
COLLEGE PARK, Md. -- Maryland notched its 100th win at the Field Hockey & Lacrosse Complex Saturday with a dominating 5-0 victory against ACC opponent Wake Forest .
Junior co-captain Megan Frazer and sophomore Jill Witmer each scored twice in the win. Redshirt senior goalkeeper Melissa Vassalotti notched five saves on the day.
The Terps are now 100-9 all-time at the Complex and (.917) and are currently on a 36-game home win streak.
Frazer put Maryland on the board just under eight minutes into the game. After a penalty corner, Frazer knocked in the goal off of senior co-captain Jemma Buckley's saved shot.
In the 31st minute, freshman Katie Gerzabek added the Terrapins' second goal. She drove into the circle and scored to put Maryland up 2-0 before the break.
Frazer pushed the score to 3-0 Maryland when she hit in a shot just 40 seconds into the second half. Witmer scored the Terps' fourth goal in the 38th minute when she tipped in a pass from Gerzabek on a corner setup.
Witmer added Maryland's fifth goal in the 47th minute when she brought the ball all the way up the field and scored on a hard shot from the top of the circle into the right corner of the back of the cage. Wake Forest changed goalkeepers to Letitia Nichols after the Terps' fifth goal.
No. 4 Connecticut 4, Providence 0
PROVIDENCE, R.I. -- Freshman Chloe Hunnable led Connecticut to a 4-0 shutout against Providence on Saturday afternoon to improve the Huskies record to 7-1 and 2-0 in the Big East.
The Huskies didn't hesitate to jumpstart their offense with sophomore forward Anne Jeute recording UConn's first goal of the day just 3:13 minutes into the game. The 1-0 lead came when Jeute picked up a loose ball off of a pass in the middle of the circle and drilled the ball into the net.
Jeute was assisted by sophomore Marie Elena Bolles who would conclude the afternoon with three assists.
Hunnable would dominate the field the rest of the game as she went on to record a new career high scoring three goals for the Huskies. She now leads UConn in points (16) and goals (7).

The forbidden prayer and a great writer
O.V Vijayan ends one of his stories in his short story collection called "After The Hanging and other stories" with the prayer.
Om Bhoorbhuvah Swah
Tatsavitur Vareniyam,
Bhargo Devasya Dhi Mahi
Dhiyo Yona Prachodyat .
"Almighty light
pervader of the earth and the sky
illumine my intellect.."
Invoking the presiding devatas of the three worlds,
reflecting on the divine, all pervading light of the sun, man prays ...
Oh Lord, Illumine my intellect" ..
Let us get to the key point of the timeless prayer. "Illumine my intellect". This story, one from the collection "After The Hanging and other stories" is symbolic and metaphoric. The story does not speak of any real persons or any incident that has happened anywhere or anytime. However the narration is symbolic of the state of his nation, India, when emergency was declared in the 70s.
The reasons given by the government for declaring emergency reflected good intentions. The society is dysfunctional, nation is in difficult times, government is not working, socialist ideals not achieved etc. We, as government, needed to do something and we needed emergency powers. That was what they said.
However the real reason was that "Power never concedes" as Obama would say several decades later. They were worried about losing their monopoly on power. The automatic reelection of Congress party , a phenomena that continued for a while after independence, was not guaranteed any more. By the way, this repeat victories at the hustings was not an election malpractice, it just took time for a viable opposition to develop and people chose to vote for the incumbent time and again. However over time the Indian society started showing signs of change which worried the ruling elite. So this fear of losing power was the real motive behind the declaration of emergency. The incumbents, a small elite that controlled the nation since independence, did not want to concede that to any one else.
The author does not speak of any of this in his allegorical work. But this, in my view, was what he meant by ending his story by invoking the prayer. "Illumine our intellect". So we see the truth behind all the smoke.
This prayer is Rigvedic text. It is the forbidden mantra of Gayatri. Written around 4000 years ago, presumably in the banks of the Indus River, this mantra was forbidden to the Bahujan(commoner), even to the warriors, and all women. Not just this mantra but most knowledge was forbidden. It was restricted to the men of priestly class.
Today, in the globalized world, the presiding philosophy is the right for fair use of information. There is wide acceptance that no knowledge is a completely new invention of any one person or author and there is "a superseding need to stimulate creativity for the enrichment of the general public". All intellectual work build on the existing body of knowledge. Therefore no person can take complete ownership of an idea or knowledge as it is derived from building on existing knowledge. Every one has a right for fair use, that is to read, appreciate and use any knowledge. That is why I have a right to quote O.V Vijayan, after giving citations, and you have the right to add a link to my article or even borrow my words, of course with citations. There may be exceptions to this, when copyright protections are needed for encouraging research, national security demand protecting certain information etc. Such information might become available to public as the sensitivity of the information fades over time and public interest gains more importance. My purpose is not to dwell on the exceptions but to appreciate the doctrine.
So the greatness of the mantra of the Rigvedic times, "Illumine my intellect", the meanness of subsequent times in denying that to the Bahujan and its ill effects on the society and finally the doctrine of current times that gives back the commoner his rights, all reflects in the glory of Vijayan's work. After all, all knowledge belongs to all people, to begin with.

As WKU students, we all have several things in common. First, we all love Big Red. Second, we all strive to attain that (sometimes elusive) degree. Third, we all want to feel support and belonging. Great news, across all of our WKU campuses, there are a variety of support services available to you. While these support services can vary across locations, they are great resources to get plugged into. These services greatly help a large number of students every single semester, so what are you waiting for?
However, as faculty and staff, there is a limit to how much an office can do. As a fellow Hilltopper, I can tell you that there are few things as powerful as getting connected with your peers. This seems to be an issue that we all face as we embark upon this (difficult) journey that we call college. Whether you are a freshman or a sixth-year senior, there are always challenges to connecting with our peers. I highly encourage you to break out of your comfort zone and connect with people, no matter how scary that might seem.
When we think about being "healthy," most of us immediately jump to the idea of eating more fruits and vegetables and exercising more often. How often do we think about the other entities of personal health? Whether it is emotional, environmental, spiritual, or financial, there are many more areas of wellness than meets the eye. When we ignore or even forget about one of these areas of wellness, we tend to get out of balance. I highly encourage each of you to take a look at your own personal "wellness wheel." Take time to discover the areas that you have forgotten about, and make an effort to become a more complete and a well-rounded you.
There are a variety of resources available to you. Check out these sites:
The content for this post is provided by the WKU Counseling and Testing Center. Our staff is committed to promoting the academic mission of the university by providing a variety of psychological services to students that will augment recruitment, retention, and graduation by strengthening students' capacity to tolerate distress, form healthy relationships, and seek healthy expressions of their ideals and values. The Counseling and Testing Center also advances the university's mission by providing educational programming, training, and consultation to the students, faculty, staff, and constituents of WKU. We're here to help, so feel free to contact us at (270) 745-3159 or email@example.com.
More than 20,000 students grace WKU's four campus locations in Bowling Green, Elizabethtown-Fort Knox, Glasgow, and Owensboro.

POUND RIDGE, N.Y. – Folk art lives in Pound Ridge.
A new art exhibit has opened at the Pound Ridge Library, and it's a little different than the traditional paintings, sculptures and photographs you might normally find. This one is all about rugs – hooked rugs.
Mary Parker, a Somers resident, has brought her themed hooked rug exhibit to the library, where it will remain on display until Feb. 23.
Parker is considered one of the best hooked rug artists in the field.
"Mary Parker's recent show of hooked rugs at the Somers Public Library reminds us how, in the hands of a gifted artist, the simplest materials and most prosaic themes can be transformed into an important artistic statement," said William Ketchum, author of "Hooked Rugs" and a folk art expert. "She takes rug hooking to a new level with her vivid tableaus, which blend fantasy with craftsmanship."
The exhibit at Pound Ridge Library evolved out of work Parker had been doing at a historic site in Somers known as the Tomahawk Chapel. She and a small group of volunteers had been working on preserving the chapel and its burial grounds since 2010 in an attempt to have it listed on the State and National Register of Historic Places.
"As I started learning more about the history of west Somers and the families buried at the chapel, I began to hook a series of primitive style of rugs based on a group of rugs hooked by an anonymous person in the late 1800s of places in Portsmouth, N.H.," Parker said. "Her rugs seemed to celebrate and draw attention to these local historic spots in Portsmouth at that time. I felt that needed to be done in Somers, too.
"Since then, I have expanded my focus to other areas in both Westchester and Putnam counties," she added.
Parker had a career as a dancer in New York City and then later in publishing with Conde Nast. But when she moved to Somers, she pursued an interest in traditional rug hooking and hasn't looked back.
Her work has been seen in exhibits throughout New York, Connecticut and Vermont, and she's appeared on the HGTV and DIY TV networks.
Parker also is a highly regarded basket weaver and is president of the Westchester Area Basketmakers' Guild, which is currently holding an exhibit at the neighboring Pound Ridge Museum.
"We were supposed to have another exhibit [at the library] at this time, but the artist passed away and the slot was open," said Library Director Marilyn Tinter, noting the synergy between the two exhibits. "Mary had been asking me if she could do an exhibit at the library and I thought that would work. Then she told me she was president of Basketmakers' Guild and they were exhibiting at the museum. I thought it was ideal with the two exhibits next door to each other. I love connections like that – folk crafts in the hamlet."
Tinter said those who aren't familiar with hooked rugs, especially those considered to be folk art and not utilitarian in nature, will be surprised with the exhibit.
"I am not an expert in folk rugs, but they are beautiful," she said. "Even those who have done hooked rugs have commented to me on how good they are."
The exhibit, "Hooked Rugs by Mary Parker: An American Folk Art Goes Local," is open to the public during regular library hours. The basket show and sale at the neighboring Pound Ridge Museum is open Saturdays and Sundays, 2 to 4 p.m., through Feb. 10.

Marscapone Mousse Desserts
This is a very indulgent chocolate dessert with a bit of an Italian twist that the team at Mad Millie have created. It is simple to make and is best made a day in advance to ensure the mousse has adequate time to set. It can be made in a cake tin, but we think it looks fantastic if you use cylinders as the layering of biscuit crumb, chocolate mousse and berry looks so beautiful.
Ingredients:o 1 packet of Amaretto biscuits
o 2 tbs of butter
Method:o Take 5 cylinders, cover 1 end of each with tinfoil and spray with cooking oil, place on a flat tray.
o In a food processer blend biscuits and butter until combined and press into cylinders evenly to form base, chill in fridge to required
Marscapone Mousse:
Ingredients:o 400g of good quality dark chocolate roughly chopped
o 420g of marscapone
o 2 tbs of icing sugar
o 500 mls of double cream
o 2 tbs of kahlua
o 1 tsp of gelatine
Method:o Melt chocolate in a heat proof bowl over a pan of barely simmering water, stir until smooth and allow to cool.
o Beat the marscapone , kahlua and icing sugar with a hand whisk, add dissolved gelatine and fold into cooled chocolate.
o In another bowl whip the cream until soft peaks form, fold cream into chocolate mixture then spoon into cylinders leaving a little room for
o Berry mixture on top. Put mousse into fridge and allow to set.
Berry Topping:
Ingredients:o 1 can of strained strawberries
