Teachers resumes are unique because teachers are in a creative field, these resumes can have more flexibility than many "standard business" resumes. Examples of teacher resumes will be given later…
The use of graphics or different styles are often avoided in the traditional business world, but may be the perfect presentation for a teacher.
Preschool and elementary teacher resumes often have a "young" feel to them visually, but note that the actual wording should be professional and to the point – see the examples of teacher resumes.
Tips and hints
- When perusing examples of teacher resumes, be sure to look through as many as possible. A good place to find more are employment agencies. I will direct you to a site dedicated to teacher resumes in due course…
- As with all resumes, examples of teacher resumes can and do vary greatly depending on the individual's experience and grade level.
- An elementary teacher resume sample may look very different from a sample education resume for a high school teacher.
- Use your best judgment and then model your own document after a free teacher resume sample or sample teacher resume.
- Do yourself a huge favor and browse through the rest of this site to pick up valuable tips about creating the perfect resume.
- Teachers, in particular, need to be especially meticulous about proofreading. While no one should have any errors in his or her resume, any spelling errors or misused words are simply unforgivable in teacher resumes.
- With all resumes, remember to tailor your resume to your own unique profile.
- It is okay to model sample resumes, but be sure to find those that mimic your own experience.
- If you are fresh out of college – stress your education and student teaching experience.
- If you are a seasoned teacher, stress your continuing education, your ability to stay abreast of current teaching philosophies and of course your experience.
Sample teaching resumes
Database Administrator Resume
A database administrator resume (like almost anyone working in a highly technical field) will use a different format than a standard business resume.
Areas that are likely to remain similar include;
- An introductory profile,
- A keyword summary,
- A reverse chronological listing of employment and
- Education.
Browsing through free sample resumes and sample database administrator resumes will help give you a feel for the common threads between these and a more standard resume.
What's different for technical fields?
Information that will be different for those in technical positions includes the information listed up front, which can include all:
- Hardware,
- Software,
- Programming capabilities,
- Any specific consulting work,
- Larger projects.
How this information is presented can vary greatly – remember, you are trying to place the most emphasis on your most relevant experience and skills. Review the free sample database administrator resumes given below to get an idea of the various ways in which to best present technical information.
As with all resumes, the most important information should be listed near the top. A recent college graduate will be more likely to list education first, while a seasoned professional will likely list education last.
Hints and tips
While the standard rules of "what not to do" apply to all resumes, such as avoiding spelling and grammatical errors, writing in the third person, or creating an objective solely based on the applicant's wishes, some areas of concern do exist for those in technical fields.
- First of all, your expertise needs to be obvious from the beginning. There is no point in burying your computer skills at the end of the resume when you are applying for a position in the computer science industry.
- This does not mean, that you should bombard the reader with a bunch of technical jargon that will only make sense to the most experienced computer technician. You never know who will be reading your resume, whether it is a person from human resources, a senior management person in programming, or a computer searching for keywords. Make sure you explain your core skills using the most appropriate language – a good idea is to use the job advertisement to guide you…
- The idea is to present your information in such a manner that you include as many keywords as possible (many books exist on this topic and provide comprehensive lists too large for this venue) while making sure a person who is not familiar with your field can get a general idea of what you are capable of .
- If you have a high level of technical experience, you may want to consider creating two resumes: one for human resources, and one for professionals in your industry.

Despite continued challenging industry conditions that were driven by a number of capital equipment suppliers and semiconductor companies who delayed certain capital expenditures, we continued to deliver profitable results, with net earnings per share improving over fourth quarter 2012. In addition, we have a solid balance sheet and continue to carry no debt."
Mr. Matthiessen continued, "We are well positioned to meet the needs of our customers who continue to strategically increase their overall test capacity as they seek to meet end market demand for a broad range of products. We are encouraged by the fact that we are seeing strengthening in our business early in the second quarter of 2013. We had a positive book to bill ratio for the first quarter and are gaining momentum. Consistent with others in the industry, we see a recovery in the second half of 2013. Over the last few years we have transformed inTEST through the strategic diversification of our Thermal Products segment. As a result, we have a broad product portfolio and now address growth markets in both the semiconductor and non-semiconductor areas, including automotive, consumer electronics, defense/aerospace, energy and telecommunications. Our long-term objective is to grow and evolve inTEST Corporation into a broad-based industrial test company as we continue to execute on our differentiated product strategy."
Second Quarter 2013 Financial Outlook:
We expect that net revenues for the second quarter ended June 30, 2013 will be in the range of $9.5 million to $10.5 million and that net earnings will range from $0.05 per diluted share to $0.09 per diluted share. Our outlook is based on our current views with respect to operating and market conditions and customers' forecasts, which are subject to change.

I have two young children. Because I have heard of even young children being the victims of identity theft, I am considering freezing their credit files until they are old enough to have their first credit cards. What is your opinion on this? Is it possible for a parent to freeze the credit of a minor? Would you do this for your own children?
Dear CJT,
Your children probably do not yet have credit reports, so you wouldn't be able to freeze them, and I wouldn't freeze the reports if they did exist, even for my own children.
There seems to be a growing misperception that everyone is assigned a credit history at birth, just like a Social Security number. In fact, your children won't have a credit report until they have credit in their names.
Having no credit report is better protection than having a credit report with a freeze. If an identity thief applies for credit using your children's information, the lender will get a response indicating no credit report exists with those identifiers, and also may receive an alert that the Social Security number belongs to a minor.
A notice that the Social Security number is issued to a minor can tip off the lender to fraud, stop the application and allow the lender to notify law enforcement.
If there were a credit history and it were frozen, the lender would receive only a message that the credit file needed to be thawed by the consumer. The lender would then have to ask the identity thief to thaw the credit file before the application could be processed.
The identity thief could then explain that he or she needed to go get the password and could simply walk out of the bank never to be seen again.
If your children already have credit reports in their names, one of three things has happened. You have applied for credit in their names and the applications were approved. You have added them as authorized users or joint account holders on one or more of your accounts. Or, someone has fraudulently used their information to apply for credit and they are already identity theft victims.
If they become victims, before placing a file freeze on your children's credit histories you should add victim statements to their reports. Doing so will require filing a police report or other valid identity theft report.
One of the most significant requirements of the The Fair and Accurate Transactions Act (FACT Act), which amended the Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA), is that it requires lenders to respond to security alerts and victims statements.
Because of that requirement, the statements provide strong protection for fraud victims while still affording access to credit if they need it.
One of the few instances in which I would recommend freezing a credit history is if the child is very young and is a victim of identity theft. It is an extreme situation that may warrant an extreme action.
Before doing so, check your state laws to verify you can place a file freeze and to determine the requirements for doing so. Some states do not allow credit file freezing. You may need to file a police report regarding the crime. If you do not, there could be a fee for placing the credit freeze.
Thanks for asking.

From Gainesville, Florida, USA:
I am a 36 year old insulin dependent diabetic diagnosed 33 years ago. Until recently, I have had absolutely no complications. Ten weeks ago I gave birth to a beautiful baby girl. Up until the 31st week, the pregnancy was pretty uneventful with nothing more than typical discomforts of pregnancy. I maintained extremely tight blood sugar control before conception and through the entire pregnancy.
At 31 weeks gestation, I was diagnosed with preeclampsia and was hospitalized. I was put on bed rest in an attempt to keep my condition from worsening and to allow the baby additional time to mature. My blood pressure gradually went up and I gained a lot of weight due to water retention. The delivery was induced at 33 weeks gestation because I had extremely high levels of protein in my 24 hour urines. At 4 weeks postpartum, there was still protein and microalbumin in my urine. My obstetrician said the protein would gradually disappear and not to worry about it. My endocrinologist said the microalbumin was an early indicator of kidney damage and I should begin taking ACE inhibitors to slow the progression of the damage. I resisted because he said I would have to stop breast feeding so he said he would repeat the test in 3 months to see if I still had microalbumin in my urine.
What is the difference between protein and microalbumin? Since both doctors said the problem may correct itself in time, why would I need to start medication? If I do have kidney damage, is it more likely that it was caused by having preeclampsia during my pregnancy, or did being diabetic for 33 years finally catch up with me? If it is caused by the preeclampsia, would delivering the baby sooner have prevented kidney damage? Should I see a nephrologist or do endocrinologists usually have a good knowledge of the type of kidney damage associated with diabetes?
You have several questions which I will answer in the order you wrote them. Albumin is a component of the all the protein excreted in the urine. Microalbumin is referring to the amount of albumin (usually defined as 30-300mg in 24 hours). Although the presence of albumin in the urine may reverse, it does represent a progression of renal disease due to diabetes. Therefore, the ACE inhibitor may be of benefit in delaying future renal impairment.
The fact that you are now having albumin in your urine is probably mostly due to your diabetes and less so to the preeclampsia. Usually, the protein in urine due to preeclampsia reverses in a few days. Delivering the baby any earlier probably would not have changed the outcome for your kidneys. Seeing a nephrologist is probably worthwhile at this time, although an endocrinologist with a special interest in diabetes is probably capable of managing your disease.
[Editor's comment: There are several terms for the presence of protein in the urine: proteinuria, albuminuria, and microalbuminuria. Although these terms technically refer to slightly different chemical concepts, the terms are frequently used interchangeably. The one difference that we doctors use, is to use "microalbuminuria" to refer to very small amounts of protein, and either "albuminuria" or "proteinuria" to refer to larger amounts. Thus, according to this logic, you wouldn't have both "proteinuria" and "microalbuminuria" at the same time: it's one or the other, depending on the amount of protein involved.
Whether the amount is small (microalbuminuria) or larger (proteinuria), if it's not due to transient reasons like preeclampsia, it should be treated, and not ignored! As you've already been told, this will include the use of medications called "ACE inhibitors" and other advice: see How to Protect your Kidneys.
Although most endocrinologists can handle problems with early diabetic kidney disease, I usually advise my patients to get a "second opinion" from a kidney doctor (nephrologist). WWQ]

According to the latest report by IMARC Group titled, "Seed Industry in India: Market Trends, Structure, Growth, Key Players and Forecast 2017-2022", the Indian seed market reached a value of more than US$ 3 Billion in 2016, exhibiting a CAGR of around 17% during 2009-2016. Seed is the most important component for sustainable farming, and its availability and quality define the growth of the agricultural sector. The production and supply of seeds are also crucial for food security in a region. As agriculture is a major occupation in India, it offers plentiful opportunities for the development of enhanced varieties of seeds. With the help of advance technology and modern agricultural methods, the seed industry in India has witnessed a healthy growth over the past several years.
Highlights of the Seed Industry in India:
- Government support and introduction of progressive policies for the seed production remain the major growth driving factor.
- Grain seed dominates the market and represent the most popular product type.
- North India represents the largest producer of seeds, accounting for one-third of the total market share.
Request a free sample copy of the report: http://www.imarcgroup.com/request?type=report&id=743&flag=B
Implementation of progressive policies by the government has strengthened the Indian seed industry in terms of R&D, product development, supply chain management and quality assurance. Some of these policies are Seed Development, 1988 and National Seed Policy, 2002 which are responsible for the reformation of the Indian seed industry and have opened doors for numerous multinational and domestic seed companies. Significant participation of both, public and private sectors is also driving the industry, thereby, providing better market access to foreign seed companies as well. Growth in income levels, commercialization of agriculture, patent protection systems and intellectual rights over plant varieties are some of the other factors that have given a push to the market. Due to the aforementioned factors, the seed industry in India is further expected to reach a value of more than US$ 7 Billion by 2022.
On the basis of type, the report has segmented the Indian seed industry into grain seeds, oil seeds, vegetable seeds and fruit seeds. Currently, grain seeds dominate the market, accounting for more than a half of the total seed production. Region-wise, North India is the largest producer of seeds, accounting for around one-third of the total market share. Other major regions include West India, South India and East India. On evaluating the competitive landscape, it is found that Advanta Seeds, Nuziveedu Seeds, Kaveri Seeds, PHI Seeds and National Seeds Corporation are some of the key players operative in the market.

I saw a flash. A bright one. I had to be imagining it. But then...it happened again! All I was trying to do was eat my dinner outside the café, and I kept seeing flashes of something! Wait...Cassie Mae?? Where are your pants?? How about you sit down. Yes, I know the chairs cold...
**This is a creative writing exercise. No creepy things were harmed in the process.
1. Give me some deets to mold an action figure of you.
Sexy (of course). Big lips & big eyes. Long brown hair (we'll just forget the fact that I'm turning gray at 26). And no pants. Because that's how I roll.
Um...so this would be brilliant for a "toy" shop. Yes. I can see it now.
I'd be a best seller :)
Accessories would include of lot of...shirts.
2. Flannel or Polka dots?
Flannel at night. Polka dots during the day.
Smell candy, but I can not find candy.
Girl, those aren't polka dots. It's candy Dots.
I actually own a pair of candy dotted pajama pants. They are the most comfy things ever.
That would explain the scissor marks on them...
4. Whose weirder looking: Steve Buscemi or Kramer?
They are both gorgeous.
*shudders* You need to not say that wearing the flannel tops. Makes you stalker creepy.
I just keep thinking of Kramer when he says, "Look at this face. Am I beautiful?"
Say "yes" & wag your doll at Kramer! He may burst through the door all crazy like.
5. Hello Kitty
Is that what you tell the drug officer when you wear the flannel and talk about creepy men?
6. Is that a clock around your neck?
I'm Flav-o-flav in disguise. (shhh!)
Ohhhh snap! Oh wait...your clock stopped. Need batteries?
Just buy me some new bling. LOL
I bought these bling batteries at the shop your dolls sold at. Says life time and night time guarantee...weird.
7. What's for lunch, because you're buying?
Whatever you want baby.
Oh my, please don't say that while wagging your doll at me...in your flannel.
*starts singing I'm Sexy and I Know It*
*yells towards door* Kramer!! Now would be a good time to come in! Seriously...save me!
8. May I have more meatballs?
Only if they're Swedish.
If Ikea sent them at least they'll come with step by step instructions and break later.
9. Stay out of my purse!
I was just slipping my number inside, I swear!
Look, I already said I'd buy the doll!
10. Serious question time: Are you no doubt just a girl, you'd rather not be, 'cause they won't let you drive late at night?
You caught me.
They banned your late night diving because of the no pants bit, huh?
No, that's why they let me off with a warning! :)
I saw Kramer whisper in his ear. Oh! Now the cops walking to that shop and yes!! He bought your doll, and his sirens went on...

The Washington Cascades stretch from the Washington – Canada border to the mighty Columbia River. The Washington Cascades offer up perfect objectives for any aspiring alpinist, mountaineer or rock climber. Most of the peaks in this range are composed of large volcanic, snow covered peaks as well as towering granite walls. Come and join us and let our guides show you why climbers from throughout the world love climbing in the Cascades.
Black Peak 8,970'
Located on the East side of the Cascades, Black Peak often sees better and a bit drier weather than some of the other Cascade peaks on the Western side of the range. The peak is located close by WA Route 20 which offers easy access to an enjoyable peak.
Eldorado Peak 8,876'
Eldorado Peak, located in the North Cascades National Park, offers the alpinist the opportunity to climb a peak in a wild and beautiful alpine setting. The peak lies at the edge of the largest continuous ice cap in the lower 48 states that is not attached to a volcano.
Forbidden Peak 8,815'
Forbidden Peak is perhaps one of the most popular peaks in the North Cascades. With three prominent sweeping ridges, North, West and East. There is good reason why this peak has been included in the 50 Classic Climbs in North America. Join us for a demanding yet rewarding climb of any of the three ridges on Forbidden Peak!
Mt. Baker 10,781'
Mt Baker is one of the iconic volcanoes of the Northwest. Visible from Puget Sound, it dominates the landscape with its glaciers, second only to Mt Rainier in terms of ice mass on the peak. It is the third highest peak in Washington, and a must do climb for those climbers who enjoy climbing on glaciers.
Mt. Rainier 14,411'
Mt. Rainier is a large and complex climb suitable for climbers with significant previous experience. We offer one of the best ratios of any guide service on Mt. Rainier for this climb. We are offering a small group climb of the Emmons Glacier, in a longer than normal trip. This gives us a chance to review skills, assures good acclimatization, and allows flexibility for bad weather. Given the effort required to get into position to summit Mt. Rainier, we feel that this approach works best.
Mt. Shuksan 9,131'
Just East of Mt. Baker is the picturesque Mt. Shuksan standing at 9,131 feet and offers some classic alpine climbs in a truly inspiring setting of the North Cascade National Park. Be sure to check out some of the most classic alpine routes in America that call Mt. Shuksan home.
Sahale Peak 8,681'
Sahale Peak is nestled in the heart of one of the most beautiful spots in the North Cascades National Park-Boston Basin. It is a worthy climb, and if paired with another objective in the area, it makes a nice addition to a multi-day trip.
Sharkfin Tower 8,165'
Sharkfin Tower is a striking alpine rock climb in the heart of Boston Basin. Perched on a ridgeline between heavily glaciated terrain, Sharkfin has clean rock and views that can't be beat.

Emacs Registers and Bookmarks
Every once and a while I like to re-read manuals about pieces of software which I already feel quite comfortable in using in hopes to learn a new trick or two. Today, I was browsing the freely available GNU Emacs Manual and was breezing through it until I hit the registers section.
Have you every copied a region of text in plans to yank it back in multiple locations within your current buffer but in between this work, you realize you need to do some intermediate killing and yanking and therefore have overwritten your original region of text you had copied? Well, using registers is one way in solving that problem.
Bookmarks have a similar function as with registers within emacs. I am actually grouping them together in this weblog because their key sequences are so very similar. Bookmarks are, like the name implies, a way to keep track of position within a buffer. They can be saved and later referenced to not only re-open the particular file you were editing but take you back to the position within that file as well.
I can not seem to remember anything, from emacs commands or keystrokes to basic shell commands, without coming up with some mnemonic for memorizing it. I have just came up with one such mnemonic for using Registers and Bookmarks and I thought I'd share it with my bots (machines which read this weblog).
Register and Bookmark Mnemonics
Each key sequence starts with:
C-x r – Think "r" for register.
The general pattern is:
C-x r <key> <register> – "register" is any single digit or letter.
"key" is what I'm calling each category of register usage. Let's explore them:
- "<space>" – mark – Just like C-spc to set the mark, this asks that the mark be set in our register.
- "s" – save – save the region's text into the register.
- "n" – number – save a particular number into the register.
- "m" – bookmark – We'll explore bookmarks further, but notice how you set bookmarks with what I consider the register key sequence.
Those are some of the basic storing actions, but with the same
C-x r prefix you can perform other actions with the contents of the registers:
- "+" – increment – When the register is a number, this increments it's value. Convenient to use with macros.
- "i" – insert – This action can be used for numbers, regions of text and even marks!
- "j" – jump – jump to a mark. This assumes you have already stored a mark in the particular register.
We'll shift a bit into bookmarks but stay succinct within the mnemonics section here.
- "m" – bookmark – Repeated from above. Note that this is a interactive function which allows you to name your bookmark with an intelligent name. The default will be the basename of your current buffer's filename. So, if you're editing /path/to/emacs_notes.txt it will default to store the bookmark under "emacs_notes.txt" but maybe you want it to be called "emacs notes". If so, go ahead and type that out and hit RET.
- "l" – list bookmarks – This opens a new pseudo buffer with the list of all of your bookmarks.
- "b" – bookmark jump – Jump to the named bookmark. This is a interactive function as well.
Bringing it Together – Examples
Save current mark to register "l":
C-x r <space> l
Move to mark saved in register "l":
C-x r j l
Save number in register "n":
C-x r n n
Now, increment that number and then insert it:
C-x r + n C-x r i n
Love the emacs notes you're editing, bookmark it:
C-x r m emacsnotes RET
Buried into multiple install READMEs for a particular product and want to return later:
C-x r m installreadme RET
Finally, the prettiest of the commands, let's review our bookmarks:
C-x r l
Final Note on Registers and Bookmarks
There is a variable named
bookmark-save-flag which when set to the value of "1″ will have the action of automatically updating your ~/.emacs.bmk file with any updates to your bookmarks. I recommend setting this in your ~/.emacs file so you don't have to "
M-x bookmark-save" periodically. Add the following to your ~/.emacs file:
(set-variable (quote bookmark-save-flag) 1 nil)
Finally, I'd be remiss if I didn't mention how I generated that one-liner emacs-lisp line, even if it's off topic for this weblog entry. I like to use various interactive functions and then capture their effective execution, in emacs-lisp form, via the "
repeat-complex-command" function which is bound to "
C-x M-:". In this situation, I used the "
set-variable" interactive function to set "bookmark-save-flag" to "1″ and then punched in "
C-x M-:" and copied the one-liner for my ~/.emacs file. So, there you go, a bonus tip for those who've read this far.

Charlotte and I were set up to have a colonoscopy this week. Last Sunday Charlotte was first so she spent all that day on a liquid diet. It also started raining that morning with the temp hovering around freezing. By the time we left for church it was getting icy. It started snowing while we were in church, we got out of church around eleven o clock and we had an inch or so on the ground. We had light flurries off and on all day. She had to drink that nasty clean your innards out stuff that evening. She was up about 3:30 Monday morning to finish drinking the stuff. We had to be up at the hospital by 6:30, it was still snowing so we left early. The road was not to bad because there had not been much traffic on them. After she had the procedure the doctor said that ever thing looked good, We left the hospital around 10: am. The snow had picked up, it was snowing so hard you could not see more that a couple hundred yards. We just took it easy getting home. Charlotte was pretty crazy from the anesthetic and I had a blast teasing her about all she did.
It warmed up and melted off Tuesday and Wednesday that's what is great about the Texas panhandle Snow it does not hang around for to long. Thursday was my turn to be on the liquid diet, and drink the nasty stuff. You might have guessed by now it started snowing Thursday and continued on Friday. I drove to the Hospital the roads were a little worse than they were Last Sunday but we made it just fine. All the nurses was asking if we did not get enough when we were here before, so I just told them, why should Charlotte have all the fun. Here again every thing was great. Again it was around 10 am and Charlotte had to drive me home this time. She did a great job and did not slide once. She had told me that she could drive in this stuff and I guess so for she did a fine job. She just did not understand why the anesthetic did not affect me the way it did her. I told her the only thing I could think of is that I have had lots of surgery's and maybe I am used to the stuff. Here it is Saturday and we still have snow on the ground but it is hard for it to melt off when it is still 16 degrees outside. But the roads are great as long as you take it easy and we will be able to make to church again tomorrow.

October 22, 1970
October 15, 1970
|We have 3 images of Dark Shadows 1129
Quentin offers Daphne the post of governess at Collinwood.
Synopsis Edit
- Collinwood in the year 1840. On this night, Barnabas Collins and Julia Hoffman will make their first attempt to change history, and thereby avert the tragedy that will occur in 1970. But they will discover something they never learned in their own time, that an evil, more horrifying than any they have ever known exists here, and will be responsible for the tragedy that is imminent.
Barnabas and Julia are walking through the woods when they hear footsteps near by. They try to track them, but they fade away. Barnabas assumes it was likely just an animal. They walk a little further and discover Hortense's body.
Act I
Barnabas notices it looks like someone tried to "rip" her head off. Julia notices Hortense still has a faint heartbeat, and tells Barnabas to go to Collinwood and get her medical bag.
Quentin sees Barnabas rushing into Collinwood and asks him what's wrong. He informs him of what he found in the woods, leaving Quentin feeling guilty about kicking her out of the house. Julia walks in shortly thereafter and tells Barnabas not to bother with her medical bag anymore, because she is now dead. However, Julia points out that Hortense regained consciousness shortly before she died and spoke of a headless man. Quentin becomes nervous and runs out of the house.
Later, Julia tells Samantha what happened to Hortense, leaving her very sad. Samantha reveals to Julia that she and Quentin are getting a divorce so she can marry Gerard, and Tad is coming with her. The news surprises Julia. Samantha grabs a gun from the desk in the drawing room and says she is taking Tad to Rose Cottage. She goes upstairs, but Quentin catches her and realizes what she is about to do.
Act II
Quentin drags Samantha into the drawing room and warns her not to get any ideas about taking Tad out of Collinwood, and he now has two servants guarding his room. Samantha again reminds him that Tad isn't his son and he slaps her. Quentin reminds her she can leave Collinwood whenever he wants, but she will never take Tad with her. Samantha tells her she will stay in Collinwood, but she will make his life a living hell.
After Samantha goes upstairs, Barnabas returns and presses Quentin for answers regarding a "headless creature". Quentin claims to know nothing, but Barnabas tells him if he knows anything he must admit it, or else the future of the family is in jeopardy.
Act III
Quentin reveals the story of Judah Zachery to Barnabas. He was a warlock who was beheaded in 1692. His body was buried in a secret location, but his head was put on public display as a warning to all of Judah's followers. Barnabas vows to find the body and the head and destroy them both.
Hours later, a weary Barnabas returns after an unsuccessful search for the body. He meets with Julia in the drawing room at Collinwood, who reminds him that now that Hortense is dead, the governess position is now open, and the position is destined to Daphne. Barnabas tells Julia to try to convince Daphne to leave town and never come back.
In the morning, Julia goes to visit Daphne at her apartment. Although the two have never met, Julia tells Daphne to leave town immediately, or else she will die.
Act IV
Daphne thinks Julia is threatening her, but Julia is persistent. Julia reveals that at some point soon, Daphne will be offered the position of governess at Collinwood, and she must not take it. Daphne thinks she is crazy and wonders if she has ever seen her before. She says she has no intentions of ever taking a job at Collinsport and asks her to leave.
At dusk, Barnabas goes to Collinwood and finds Julia. Julia sadly feels she has failed in her attempt to get Daphne to leave Collinsport. They wonder when Quentin will offer her the job. As they say that, they see Quentin walk out of the house.
Quentin shows up at Daphne's apartment and offers her a job as Tad's governess. The offer shocks Daphne. Quentin pressures her for an answer since he is in a hurry, and she accepts the job and agrees to move into Collinwood.
Meanwhile, a cloaked figure walks through the graveyard in the middle of the night. The figure enters the Collins mausoleum and opens the door to the secret room. The room is empty, and the figure is revealed to be Angelique, who vows to find where Barnabas is.
Memorable quotes Edit
- Angelique: He's gone! I wouldn't have thought it possible... but I will find him. He will never get away from me!
- Samanatha: I've known nothing but tragedy in this house.
- Quentin Collins: There's a maniac loose in those woods and I don't think she could've done anything to prevent it.
Dramatis personae Edit
- Jonathan Frid as Barnabas Collins
- Grayson Hall as Julia Hoffman
- David Selby as Quentin Collins (1840)
- Kate Jackson as Daphne Harridge
- Lara Parker as Angelique Bouchard Collins
- Virginia Vestoff as Samantha Drew Collins
Background information and notes Edit
Production Edit
- This episode was recorded out of broadcast sequence. The previous episode to be recorded was 1130.
- Lara Parker returns to the cast after an absence of 72 episodes. It is the first appearance of character Angelique Bouchard Collins during the '1840' storyline. The use of Parker as narrator at the start of this episode somewhat gives away the surprise at the end of the episode that the character has returned.
- This is the fiftieth episode, and the second of two consecutive episodes, with no pre-Barnabas cast members.
- The Collinsport Afghan makes an appearance on Daphne's bed.
- Closing credits scene: Collinwood drawing room.
Story Edit
- In the year 1692, Judah Zachery was condemned to death as a warlock in the village of Bedford. He was beheaded as the villagers thought his evil was so great that he wouldn't be able to die like an ordinary man, so they separated the head from the body. No one knows where the body is buried, it's a well-kept secret, but the head was put on public display as a warning to all his followers. Since 1692, the head has reappeared several times, and each time it reappears, murders follow in its wake. Attempts have been made to destroy the head, but no one has ever succeeded.
- TIMELINE: 8:30pm: Samanatha and Julia discuss Hortense's death. Day 419 begins, and will end in 1132. 12am: Barnabas returns from the search for Judah's body.
Bloopers and continuity errors Edit
- There is no memorial plaque on the outside of the secret door inside the Collins mausoleum. Only a close-up of the secret door and the above opening mechanism are shown. The main room is darkened, and as Angelique leaves the mausoleum in 1130 it seems the three stone coffins aren't there either. (It's likely the mausoleum set wasn't fully erected for recording in order to save space inside the small studio that the show was recorded in.)
- Virginia Vestoff can't help but smile after she realizes that she flubs her line to Quentin...."...make your life an unliving hell" instead of "living hell".

Another quick hit: A-Rod breaks the Fox NFL Sunday set/
Alex Rodriguez is the gift that keeps on giving. Fox was introducing their latest postseason baseball analyst to Fox's Sunday NFL show when they asked Alex to throw a football. As most of you know, he played football in high school, and was a quarterback, so the guys wanted to see if he could still do it.
And, well, this happened... (Watch until the end)
Announcing the newest member of the @MLBonFOX #postseason crew: Alex Rodriguez!
@AROD discusses on FOX NFL Sunday http://t.co/WttZz9l18W

Oh, Alex. Actually, you know what? I'll blame Jay Glazer and his vertical leap of about two inches for that mishap.
Welcome to Fox, A-Rod!

PORT CLINTON -- The pros of the walleye fishing world will launch the second tournament of their season with a noisy blast-off from the Nor'Easter Club early Thursday morning, carrying with them visions of Lake Erie serving up some of its huge fish before the three-day event wraps up.
The FLW Pro Walleye Fishing Tour is competing on Lake Erie for the eighth time in the last decade. Close to 150 anglers are expected to take part, with the pros battling for a top prize of up to $63,000.
Ross Robertson is one of a handful of local anglers entered in the tournament, but he does not expect the Erie regulars to have a big advantage over the rest of the elite field, since the big lake is a less complex puzzle when compared to some of the smaller bodies of water on the tour.
"Out here, all the home court means is that if the bite is really tough, it might give me a leg up for a while, but Lake Erie is simpler fishing than most places the pros visit," he said. "With the Internet and all of the information that is out there on Lake Erie, most of these guys probably already know where they plan to fish, and how. The locals would have a much bigger advantage on the other lakes where those kinds of resources aren't available."
Each day of competition will end with a public weigh-in of the competitors' catch. The weigh-in takes place at Waterworks Park here at 3 p.m. Thursday and Friday, and at the Walmart on East Harbor Road at 4 p.m. on Saturday.
Robertson said he will shun the crowds while out on the water, and travel as far as he needs to in order to find big fish in a cooperative mood.
"I'm sort of a recluse when it comes to fishing. I usually fish where there's nobody else around," he said. "I'm not paranoid, but I've seen the things that make a difference."
Last year's winner on Lake Erie, Jeff Graves of the Cleveland suburb of Chagrin Falls, claimed the top prize with more than 117 pounds of walleyes weighed in over the three days.
Although this year's winner might not eclipse that mark since spring arrived earlier and the walleyes are spawned out, Robertson said that unlike most other walleye lakes, Erie won't have those periods where the fishing gets so tough that everyone struggles.
"On Lake Erie, no matter what's going on, somebody is going to catch fish," he said. 'You can have three hours of nothing, and then have four fish on, one after another. The toughest part with Lake Erie is that you can't stumble, because you won't catch up. Other places, one good fish a day can do it, but here, that won't cut it."
Robertson expects the pros to wow the crowds at the weigh-ins with their walleye fishing prowess.
"For the best guys out here, it takes them about five seconds to figure things out -- they are that good," he said. "But all of these tournaments are an educated crapshoot. You just hope to be a little more educated than everybody else."
OUTDOORS EXPO: The FLW pros who missed the cut in the tournament will hold a session on fishing tips, techniques, and share a few tales from noon to 4 p.m. on Saturday at the Walmart on East Harbor Road. The event is free and open to the public. It will be followed by the final tournament weigh-in and the crowning of the tournament champion.
