UW welcomes all students to apply and will consider each student based on their individual academic achievement. Students may apply for admission up to one year before they intend to enroll online at www.uwyo.edu/apply. Admission decisions are made on a rolling basis as soon as all application materials are received in the Admissions Office. To avoid delays and complications, all application materials should be on file in the Admissions Office at least 30 days before the beginning of the semester.
ACT or SAT results are required for new freshmen, applicants under 21 years in age, and used for admission, math placement, academic advising and academic scholarship consideration. High school students should take the ACT or SAT during the spring of their junior year or fall of their senior year. To be considered official, scores need to be submitted to UW directly from the testing agency or on the high school transcript. Writing sections in both the ACT and SAT are not considered as part of the admission requirements.
All official student transcripts must be sent directly to the Admissions Office by the originating institution. A final, official high school transcript indicating the graduation date is required post- graduation to complete admission requirements. UW Admissions only accepts faxed transcripts from Wyoming community colleges.
Orientation: All new freshmen and transfer students are strongly encouraged to attend new student orientation prior to their first UW semester. Sessions provide students with an opportunity to meet faculty and staff, plan an academic schedule, explore credit transfer, discuss college life, and register for courses.

Q. What are the recommended storage conditions for Glyree-M?
Keep this medicine in the container or the pack it came in, tightly closed. Store it according to the instructions mentioned on the pack or label. Dispose of the unused medicine. Make sure it is not consumed by pets, children and other people.
Q. Can the use of Glyree-M lead to lactic acidosis?
Yes, the use of Glyree-M can lead to lactic acidosis. It is a medical emergency which is caused by increased levels of lactic acid in the blood. It is also known as MALA (Metformin-associated lactic acidosis). It is a rare side effect associated with the use of metformin and therefore, it is considered to be harmful for patients with underlying kidney disease, old age patients or who take large amounts of alcohol. Symptoms of lactic acidosis may include muscle pain or weakness, dizziness, tiredness, feeling of cold in arms and legs, difficulty in breathing, nausea, vomiting, stomach pain or slow heart rate. If you have these symptoms, stop taking Glyree-M and consult your doctor immediately.
Q. What is Glyree-M?
Glyree-M is a combination of two medicines: Glimepiride and Metformin. This medicine is used in the treatment of type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM). It improves blood glucose levels in adults when taken along with proper diet and regular exercise. Glimepiride lowers the blood glucose levels by increasing the release of insulin from the pancreas. Metformin works by lowering the glucose production in the liver and improving insulin sensitivity. This combination is not indicated for the treatment of type 1 DM.
Q. What are the possible side effects of Glyree-M?
The use of Glyree-M is associated with common side effects like hypoglycemia (low blood sugar level), altered taste, nausea, stomach pain, diarrhea, headache and upper respiratory tract infection. Its use can also lead to serious but rare side effects like lactic acidosis. On long-term use it can also lead to Vitamin B12 deficiency.
Q. Can the use of Glyree-M lead to Vitamin B12 deficiency?
Yes, the use of Glyree-M can cause Vitamin B12 deficiency on long-term use. It interferes with the absorption of Vitamin B12 in the stomach. If untreated, it may cause anemia and nerve problems and the patient can experience tingling sensation and numbness in hands and feet, weakness, urinary problems, change in mental status and difficulty in maintaining balance (ataxia). To avoid such problems, some researchers suggest an intake of Vitamin B12 from outside sources at least once every year.
Q. Can the use of Glyree-M cause hypoglycemia?
Yes, the use of Glyree-M can cause hypoglycemia (low blood sugar level). Symptoms of hypoglycemia include nausea, headache, irritability, hunger, sweating, dizziness, fast heart rate and feeling anxious or shaky. It happens more often if you miss or delay your food, drink alcohol, over-exercise or take other antidiabetic medicine along with it. So, regular monitoring of the blood sugar level is important. Always keep a quick source of sugar like glucose tablets, honey or fruit juice with you.
Q. Is it safe to take alcohol while I am also taking Glyree-M?
No, it is not safe to take Glyree-M along with alcohol, as it may lower your blood sugar levels and lead to hypoglycemia. It can also increase the chances of lactic acidosis.

Our First Impression
We can always count on Avalon to go the extra mile with its high-end models, and this Sierra Elite is no exception. The loaded 24-footer is all about luxurious features, and when it comes to bells and whistles, nothing seems to be missing.
Consumer Test
The real eye-catcher on this particular boat is the Admiral's fiberglass and Corian helm station that is like nothing else on the market. Forward of the helm is a deep sink with a stainless faucet and beautiful stainless drawers that are as solid as they look. And with the simple press of a button, the electric wine rack raises up for easy access. Plus, on top of all of this, there is even a refrigerator below so you truly do have all the tools needed to entertain while out on the water.
Below each of the three chaise lounges is unique storage, including a second wine rack as well as a full garbage can below the portside lounge in the bow. The Matrix 50 vinyl used on the beautifully textured seats is as durable as it is comfortable. Speaking of comfy seats, the fully adjustable helm chair is easy-to-operate and might just be the best seat onboard.
At the helm, the standard Garmin GPS with color maps is centered perfectly into the console and the gauges are all easy to read. Besides the Jensen stereo, the console is equipped with an MP3 jack as well as a memory stick input and even the four speakers have stainless covers.
Other key features worth noting include the deep and long in-floor storage locker, easy-to-use pop-up changing room enclosure below the double-wide sundeck, removable fiberglass table top, ski/tow bar and synthetic teak flooring in the swim deck area. The list just goes on and on. It's the little added touches like the polished aluminum bimini frame, stainless hardware used throughout and the high-quality craftsmanship that make the difference on this Sierra Elite.
Inspection Test
Avalon calls its hull design the 5X7 performance package and it includes two 25-inch diameter pontoons and a 27-inch diameter center tube. Each is chambered with a keel, and there are lifting strakes on both sides of all three pontoons. The square cross-members are on 24-inch centers in the bow and 16-inch centers near the transom for added strength, and these are all bolted to the plywood deck. From the welding quality to the protected wires, the undercarriage earned high marks for craftsmanship.
From inside the bow gate to the rear bench seat there is over 16 feet of usable deck space. One unique feature with the aluminum-framed seat bases is the vents on the inside that allow fresh air to circulate from the outside. All the hidden areas are well-finished and the craftsmanship throughout the boat is outstanding.
Performance Test
With the SeaStar power-assist steering you truly get finger-tip control, which of course makes this Avalon a fun boat to drive. Sharp turns were not a problem for this 24-footer and because the boat is so responsive we felt very safe and in control at all times. With the Evinrude E-TEC 250 HO outboard we nearly reached the 50 mile per hour mark, which only helped increase our appreciation for the overall performance of this boat.
Who Should Buy It
For those looking for the "wow" factor, this boat is worthy of a closer look. Of course a couple who love to do some serious entertaining would love this boat, but with the performance capabilities don't forget about the stainless steel ski/tow bar in the stern.

Why we love this boat…With so many unique features it's hard to decide what we loved the most: the impressive entertainment center or the overall layout and design. I guess we'll just go with how sweet she performed.
Just being picky…The stainless hardware throughout the boat is beautiful and we especially love the bow and stern stainless gates. But if we had to be picky we'd like to see the side gate match the other two entries.

Patriots wideout Randy Moss is in the final year of his contract, and he's already made noise during the preseason that the team hasn't done much to make him feel wanted. All that frustration came to a head yesterday when Moss took the podium after the Patriots resounding win over the Bengals (a game in which Moss didn't score a touchdown) and began openly ranting, telling reporters this was probably his last year in New England.
You can read the transcript right here, but I'll pull a few choice quotes for you:
I think there is, I don't really want to say here in the organization, but I think around here in the New England area, a lot of people don't want to see me do good…
I just think from a business standpoint, this probably will be my last year here as a Patriot. And I'm not retiring. I'm still going to play some football. I just want to get that off my chest and let you all understand that this is a business…
I don't really feel that I'm very liked. And I'm not saying from you all. I don't really give a damn if you like me to be honest with you…
I just told you all about you working for somebody and you having a boss, you would like to feel appreciated. I'm not saying that I'm not appreciated here. But I would like to feel that sometimes.
There will be plenty of people who latch onto this rant and call Randy Moss a selfish jerk for speaking out like this after the Pats won (he's already gotten the inevitable and tiresome Manny Ramirez comparisons).
However, I've taken a closer look at this transcript, and I can tell you, with full confidence, that Randy has no earthly idea what he's talking about. None. Nothing he says here makes a lick of sense. I'm not even sure what his point is. It's like reading an interview with Andrew WK.
Ever try and make a point to someone, only to find yourself not making sense, and digging a bigger and bigger hole the longer you talk? That's Moss yesterday. I think he wanted to get some things off his chest, but lacked the ability to clearly say what those things are. He's almost certainly annoyed that Tom Brady got paid his millions yesterday and he hasn't been taken care of yet. But that's about all you can divine from this spiel.
Randy Moss has always been a weird dude, and I mean that in a good way. He's always been a player who knows he's doing a job, and cares little about the precious SPORTS! trappings so many fans and media people swaddle themselves in. He treats the game at times with a coldness and distance that angers many fans who think football players should be all fiery and passionate and as nutty over the game as they are.
I don't think Moss is being selfish by standing at a podium and blowing off steam to the press. I think he's simply an odd duck who does what he pleases without worrying much about public reaction. I think he just started talking without realizing he had nothing ultimately useful to say. I think the Pats know this, and will happily ignore it ever happening. And, in the end, I don't think it'll make any difference in whether or not he finishes his career in New England.

The recent announcement of the Terremark Cloud offering has raised significant attention especially because of the competitive pricing and EC2 like features of elastic capacity and hourly charges with no commitment. On the surface the Terremark entry price of $0.036 per hour seems very low compared to Amazon EC2 at $0.10 but it's worth picking a few examples to provide a more apples to apples comparison.
Not included in the comparison is the difference in storage costs which can be small or very significant depending on the circumstance. Amazon provides up to 160 GB of instance storage for a small image or 850 GB for a large included in the hourly cost. If you have only a small instance say 10GB that adds $ 2.50 to the monthly price at Terremark ( @ .25/GB ) however of you needed the 850 GB included in the Amazon Large image that would add $ 212 to the monthly Terremark costs. Also not included is bandwidth costs, however both charge the same $0.17 GB for data transfer out . ( Although Amazon charges $ 0.10/GB for data in vs Terremark $ 0.17 data in ).
Some the bigger differences will more likely depend on how the VMs are utilized. The numbers stated above assume a full month of 24x31 operation. With Amazon EC2 it's possible to save in S3 ( bundle in Amazon terms ) an instance and then shut down ( terminate ) the VM and the billing stops. With Terremark however although you can shut down the VM, the hourly charges do not stop. Only deleting the VM ends the billing, there does not appear to be an option of saving with the hourly charges turned off and allowing a new instance from the saved image to be started at a later time. This appears to be a big advantage for Amazon although I need to learn more about the Terremark offering to fully appreciate the capabilities.
Certainly economics is not the only factor in selecting a Cloud infrastructure provider. Vendor Lock-in and VM portablity often come up as concerns. Security is also a factor in regard to Cloud computing and this was a motivator for Amazons recent Virtual Private Cloud offering which provides a dedicated VPN connection from a customer premise to an isolated Cloud inside the Amazon infrastructure. I also have to admit I was impressed with a recent tour of the Terremark data center in Miami , this place was like a high tech Fort Knox when it came to security. The entire topic of Cloud security is worthy of specialized consideration not covered in this simple comparison. Ease of use is another consideration that is worth evaluating. The Amazon Web Console is limited in function but easy to use plus includes access to many partner and community provided ( including Citrix C3 Lab ) templates that are prebuilt and ready to launch. In Amazon EC2 for example its now possible signup and launch your own XenApp server in as little a 15 minutes.
Terremark also provides a web base console that looks straight forward however I have not used it myself yet. Terramark does not provide the same portfolio of 3rd party templates however they do provide more granularity in the size of VMs and RAM plus they offer multiple versions of Windows Server. As the options for Cloud Computing continue to expand the economic analysis of Cloud vs Premise will extend to Cloud vs Cloud, as Service Providers continue to provide dynamic cloud type offerings.

Interview with Jennifer Siebel Newsom, Director of "Miss Representation"
At a screening at the World Bank of Miss Representation on March 8, I had the opportunity to interview the film's director, Jennifer Siebel Newsom. What struck me during the interview was Newsom's firm commitment to changing how women and girls are portrayed in the mainstream media and her use of social media to instigate a conversation and advocate for change. Newsom also mentions that she wants to build a bridge to men and boys, who are a big part of the solution and talks about an upcoming project aimed at men and boys. Hope the interview provides some insights and provokes discussion.

They all have one. A golf course architect will never pick favorites – it's like asking a mother which child she loves most – but even so, most designers have a soft spot for one above all others.
Alister MacKenzie had Pasatiempo, a course he loved and tinkered with throughout the last years of his life. Despite having designed Augusta National, Cypress Point, Royal Melbourne, Lahinch and Royal Adelaide, MacKenzie spent most of his time in Santa Cruz, Calif., at Pasatiempo, living just a few feet away from the sixth fairway until his death in 1934.
Donald Ross, the most prolific architect of the early 20th century, who designed Brae Burn, East Lake, Seminole, Broadmoor and hundreds of others, lived in Pinehurst and dabbled with No. 2 for decades.
For Robert Trent Jones Sr., it was the university course at his alma mater, Cornell; for Jack Nicklaus it's the Bear's Club; and for 87-year-old Pete Dye, the game's most cheerful sadist, the first among equals is a stretch of Caribbean coastline in the Dominican Republic called Casa de Campo, a place where Pete and his wife Alice have been spending their winters since the early 1970s.
Dye designed four courses in the 7,000-acre resort, but the most famous was the first, a layout he originally called Cajuiles after the spate of cashew trees on the property. But by sheer chance, he heard the locals referring to the craggy rocks along the shoreline as "diente del perro," and he instantly knew that he had a new name for his masterpiece: Teeth of the Dog.
To hear him tell it, that was one of many accidents that led to the creation of Casa de Campo.
"When they asked me to come down there, they originally wanted to build a course near the capital, Santa Domingo," Dye said in his typical chipper manner. If the man has ever had a bad day, you would never know it from his demeanor when he's talking about the game.
"I told them that it was a mistake. There wasn't any water around there and people weren't going to come. So, I went back home and didn't hear anything for awhile. Then I got a call to come back and look at some other property. These were some of the largest sugar producers in the world, so they had land all over the place, but most of it was for sugar cane."
A spot not used for cane was on the coast near La Romana, a spot too dry to grow sugar but with plenty of ocean views.
"There was no bridge over the river at the time, so it was about a two-hour drive from the capital down these narrow dirt roads," Dye said. "But I finally convinced them that that was the spot."
Dye built Teeth of the Dog the old-fashioned way, with hand labor, shovels, and ox-drawn carts. "I started at the water and worked my way in from there," he said. "I guess I'm crazy, because I build what I design. I won't just draw it and walk away. I build it."
What he built in La Romana was an instant classic, a model for later Dye signature courses like TPC Sawgrass and the Ocean Course at Kiawah Island. Teeth of the Dog is what golfers now expect out of a Dye design. You can hit most of your drives 100 yards offline and still have a shot, assuming you have hit it off line in the proper direction. But from 150 yards in, you better have your A-Game. False fronts, runoffs, collection areas and bunkers that look like dried wells gobble up errant approaches and can make you look silly if you are the slightest bit off target. It is not unusual to make double bogey from the middle of the fairway more than once per round.
That is what makes Dye's designs so tantalizing and so maddening. Safe play yields all the bogeys you want. But to reach down deep and go for a number, you have to be fearless and precise. Great shots will yield plenty of pars and birdies, but a slight mishit – a minor miscalculation in distance or wind or alignment – and you will be lucky to finish the hole.
For good or bad, many of those same traits can be found at courses all over the world. But the things we now think of as Pete Dye features, or Dye-type holes, didn't originate at Harbour Town or Crooked Stick. The genesis was Casa de Campo.
Teeth of the Dog became the cornerstone for a resort that now has three public courses and one private course, a 245-acre shooting club with clays and live birds, polo fields, a private airport, a 400-slip marina that can accommodate 250-foot yachts and a stone amphitheater that opened with a concert by Mr. Frank Sinatra. But golf remains the biggest draw, not just because of Dye's original design, but because of the commitment and passion he continues to have for the place.
"When I first got the (director of golf) job down here, Pete called me to congratulate me," PGA Master Professional Gilles Gagnon told me during an outdoor dinner at La Cana, one of the resort's restaurants. "He also said, 'Here's my number. Call me if you have any questions or if you need anything.' Then he said, 'I expect you'll be calling me a lot.'"
Dye chuckled at that story. "Yeah, I think I first went down there in 1968," he said as if recalling what he had for lunch. "Four golf courses later I'm still there. I just can't seem to get away."
At age 87, there's no rush. He knows it; Alice knows it. And the folks at Casa de Campo certainly know it. They are all quite comfortable with Pete hanging around and tinkering as long as he possibly can.

TERRE HAUTE, Ind. - The Beavers won an insane Heartland Conference matchup at Rose-Hulman Institue of Technology on Saturday, Oct. 6. After three straight missed field goals at the end of regulation and in the first two overtimes, junior Austin Sweeney (Adrian Mich./Whitmer) quickly turned into the hero when he made the game-winning 21-yard field goal in the third extra session. The win moved Bluffton's record to 4-2 (3-1 HCAC), while the loss dropped Rose-Hulman to 2-4 (2-2 HCAC). It marked the first-ever three overtime game for the Beavers.
The Beavers began the game on fire with two quick scores. The first was a 1-yard touchdown run by Airic Steagall (Hillsboro); the second an 11-yard touchdown pass from Tyler Wright (Troy) to Ryan Sabin (Canal Winchester). The two scores gave the Beavers a 14-0 lead midway through the first quarter.
Rose-Hulman responded in the second quarter with consecutive 15-play drives. However, these drives both ended in field goals by Craig Larew as the Bluffton defense refused to break. On the Engineers' third drive of the second quarter, Greg Lee got free in the red zone for a 12-yard touchdown run, cutting the Beaver lead to a single point.
The visitors were able to respond before they went to the locker room when Steagall hooked up with Shawn Frost (Edison/Mt. Gilead) for a 15-yard touchdown pass to give Bluffton a 21-13 lead after two periods.
The beginning of the third quarter was dominated by Bluffton. Calib Alexander (Ocala,Fla./St. John Lutheran) broke free for a 41-yard touchdown run. After a Sweeney 22-yard field goal, the Beavers were out to a comfortable 31-13 lead with four minutes to go in the quarter.
Rose-Hulman was not ready to cash in its chips, however. A 64-yard touchdown pass from Mitch Snyder to Jacob Dye cut the Beaver lead to 31-19. Then, on the first play of the fourth quarter, Snyder threw a 31-yard touchdown to Marcus Washington, trimming the Beaver lead to single digits at 31-26.
After Sweeney made a 24-yard field goal for the Beavers, Rose-Hulman began another big drive which was capped by a Danya Francis 1-yard scoring plunge. Shane Boschert hauled in the two-point conversion to knot the game at 34.
Bluffton was able to put together a 14-play, 64-yard drive while moving the chains five times. However, Sweeney's 37-yard field goal went wide right and with that miss, the game was sent into overtime.
Both teams traded three-and-outs, followed by missed field goals during the first two overtime periods. During the third overtime, Rose-Hulman converted a first down, but Larew missed the 20 yard field goal, his third straight following regulation.
During Bluffton's drive in the third overtime, Steagall picked up 10 yards for a first down on the first play. Three runs later and he had the Beavers on the 4-yard line. From there, Austin Sweeney capped the victory by making a 21-yard field goal to get the Beavers their third conference win.
Tyler Wright was the leader in this game for the Beavers, completing 16 of his 22 passes for 245 yards and a touchdown. He also rushed for 52 yards. Airic Steagall also had a monster day with 25 rushes for 127 yards and a touchdown. Ryan Sabin was the leading receiver for the Beavers with six receptions for 109 yards and a touchdown.
For the Engineers, Mitch Snyder also had a big day at quarterback, completing 30 of his 50 attempts for 342 yards and two touchdowns, while also rushing for 49 yards. Running back Danya Francis picked up big yardage, rushing 28 times for 117 yards and a touchdown. Jacob Dye had a solid day with seven catches for 127 yards and a touchdown.
The offenses combined for over 1,000 yards on the afternoon with Bluffton going for 498 of them and 25 first downs. The Beavers had a 238-230 edge on the ground, while RHIT finished with a 342-260 advantage through the air. Bluffton won the time of possession battle (34:59-25:01) and the Beavers converted on 8-of-17 third down opportunities. The visitors made good on 6-of-9 trips inside the red zone, compared with 4-of-8 by Rose.
On the defensive side of the ball, senior Ben Kaufman (Ottawa/Ottawa-Glandorf) led the way with 16 tackles, including 10 solos. Junior Josh Runda (Lima/Bath) chipped in with 11 tackles, two of them for losses.
Bluffton will be back in action next Saturday, Oct. 13, for their Homecoming contest as they take on the Hanover Panthers, who are undefeated in the HCAC. The game is slated to start at 1:30 p.m. in Salzman Stadium.

Microsoft Turns on Do Not Track By Default in IE10
The coming version of Internet Explorer will have the "Do Not Track" feature enabled by default, Microsoft said Thursday. Online advertisers, predictably, are not happy with this decision.
Microsoft plans to have Do Not Track on by default in IE10, which means as users upgrade to the latest version of the browser, they will automatically be opted out of online tracking. In the current version of Internet Explorer (9), do not track is an option that users have to manually turn on to inform websites they do not want to be tracked. All other major browsers, including Mozilla's Firefox, Google's Chrome, and Apple's Safari, follow the same process.
"We believe that consumers should have more control over how information about their online behavior is tracked, shared and used," Brendan Lynch, Microsoft's chief privacy officer, wrote on the Microsoft on the Issues blog. IE10 is expected to be released to the general public this fall.
While tracking is valuable for consumers as it allows personalized experience and relevant ads, Lynch said it should be a "conscious choice to share information."
Advertisers Not Happy
Do Not Track is a still-evolving concept among browser makers, privacy groups, and the advertising industry. But in its simplest form, Do Not Track would notify Websites that the user doesn't want to be tracked while accessing the site. Nothing at this time requires advertisers and websites to actually respect user preference, but the industry had committed earlier this year to honor the setting.
The Digital Advertising Alliance, a coalition of advertisers, told the Wall Street Journal the industry had agreed to honor "do not track" earlier this year so long as it remained turned off by default on browsers. The industry supports "consumer choice, not a choice made by one browser or technology vendor," Stu Ingis, general counsel of the DAA, told the Journal.
Mozilla, the first vendor to add DNT capability to its browser, said users needed to make a conscious choice. While Mozilla applauded Microsoft for "putting its full weight behind DNT," it cautioned against the trap of making decisions on the behalf of the user.
"It's important that the signal represents a choice made by the person behind the keyboard and not the software maker, because ultimately it's not the browser being tracked, it's the user," Alex Fowler, global privacy and public policy lead for Mozilla, wrote on the company blog.
Privacy By Default
Earlier this year, privacy activist Christopher Soghoian railed against major vendors for not enabling security and privacy features by default in their Web browsers . Many users don't want to be tracked but are stymied by the maze of menu options or don't even know they have the option to express their preference, he said. He suggested that users are better served if companies turn on privacy settings, and allow users who don't mind being tracked to opt-in manually.
Soghoian noted at the time that Microsoft had gone down this road before. An earlier version of Internet Explorer originally had an option that would allow users to easily set all privacy settings at once. However, Microsoft dropped the option when advertising companies complained.
Here is to hoping Microsoft doesn't back down again with IE10.
"While some people will say that this change is too much and others that it is not enough, we think it is progress and that consumers will favor products designed with their privacy in mind over products that are designed primarily to gather their data," Dean Hachamovitch, corporate vice president overseeing Internet Explorer, wrote on the IEblog.
While Do Not Track is currently optional, there is a lot of interest in the standard, as all the browsers now have the option to enable it, and Twitter recently announced it will respect user preference. Ad companies are supposed to start honoring DNT requests by the end of 2012, but at the moment, the industry had just agreed to not use the information they collect about users, while the Federal Trade Commission wants them to stop collecting the information in the first place.

Within the fantasy world fairies are often depicted as caretakers of nature and they also watch over all the creatures in the animal kingdom. Earth Day is a day of environmental awareness and we're celebrating by reading "A Fairy Went A-Marketing," a poem by Rose Fyleman about a very caring and beneficent fairy.
We found an incredibly beautiful picture book version titled A Fairy Went A-Marketing with illustrations by Jamichael Henterly at our library. Henterly's breathtaking pictures depict an amazing fairy-tale world full of the wonders of nature. The fairy, with her beautiful, long brown hair and spectacular butterfly-like wings, goes to market and ends up helping out various animals including a fish, bird, frog and mouse. My daughter loves to slowly page through the illustrations and point out all the interesting fairy world details.
"A Fairy Went A-Marketing" originally appeared in Fyleman's book of verse, Fairies and Chimneys (c1920). The entire book can be viewed online at the Internet Archive. (By the way, if you've never visited the Internet Archive, you must! It is a virtual treasure trove.) Fairies and Chimneys includes several fairy-themed poems, and I especially like the short "Bird Lore" poems. Fyleman dedicated the book to her mother, "To the realest fairy of my childhood, my mother." Also, one of the poems in the book is titled, "Mother." Isn't that wonderfully sweet?
by Rose Fyleman
A Fairy went a-marketing —
She bought a little fish;
She put it in a crystal bowl
Upon a golden dish.
An hour she sat in wonderment
And watched its silver gleam,
And then she gently took it up
And slipped it in a stream. ..."

Make Your Own Miniature Fairy Book Craft
Rather than illustrate just one part of the poem, my daughter decided to draw pictures for all the verses. Inspired by the creative make-your-own miniature books at DYI Dollhouse Miniatures, I designed a miniature "A Fairy Went A-Marketing" book for her to illustrate. She's still not entirely finished coloring her artwork but you can see her progress below. Working in miniature is a challenging task for a kindergartener, but she's a patient artist and not one to turn down a challenge. Now her fairies have their own fairy-sized book to read!
If you'd like to make your own, visit Google docs to print the miniature book template [pdf] I designed for this book. If you need assembly instructions follow the ones at DYI Dollhouse Miniatures. Just a little warning though -- making mini books is a rather addictive hobby! (Please let me know if you have trouble printing or if the formatting doesn't look right.)
Each week in April we hope you'll consider reading a poem (any poem, not just the one we have featured) with your child and then encourage your child to create an illustration based on the poem. This type of creative activity helps your child more thoroughly understand the poem and interpret it in his or her own way. If you would like to participate, please refer the original Kids' Poetry Challenge post and read the guidelines.
***Note: A few readers have mentioned that their child does not really like drawing or is not old enough to draw anything recognizable. If you prefer, please feel free to just post a favorite poem you shared with your child this week. Remember to only post a portion of the poem to avoid copyright issues.

Media magnate Kerry Stokes is preparing for a $135 million pay day after BC Iron snapped up a mining company owned by the Perth-based businessman.
Mr Stokes' private company Australian Capital Equity plans to accept an offer from the Pilbara iron ore miner worth $250 million, or $1.59 per share.
The deal will deliver $135 million to Mr Stokes and more than double BC Iron's potential production.
Australian Capital Equity owns a 53 per cent stake in Iron Ore Holdings (IOH).
IOH is developing the $744 million Iron Valley mine in the Pilbara which is expected to produce eight million tonnes of the steel making commodity each year once production begins in the coming months.
BC Iron managing director Morgan Ball said the deal would bring together two long-term assets and complement the company's productive assets.
"In a year you'll see us continuing to operate Nullagine at good cash flows, receiving Iron Valley cash flows and probably having made a decision on the best solution for a Buckland development," Mr Ball told AAP.
As well as the Iron Valley project, IOH is also developing the Buckland project in the west Pilbara, which is in its feasibility stage.
The project includes plans to develop a mine, private haul road and a port at Cape Preston East, with the aim of producing eight million tonnes of iron ore each year.
BC Iron still expects its Nullagine joint venture project to produce six million tonnes of iron ore per annum over the next six years.
Mr Ball said Mineral Resources would continue to operate Iron Valley while BC Iron would prefer to operate Buckland which had a stand-alone infrastructure solution.
But it would consider alternatives if rail operator Aurizon built a rail line with Baosteel in the west Pilbara.
He also ruled out further acquisitions in the short-term amid iron ore price weakness.
Mr Ball added that both BC Iron and IOH ran relatively lean teams and had good staff synergies.
Under the takeover deal, IOH shareholders will receive 0.44 new BC Iron shares and 10 cents cash for each IOH share they own.
Based on BC Iron's recent average share price of $3.39, the offer values IOH at $1.59 per share.
IOH's board includes Kerry Stoke's son Ryan Stokes and former West Australian premier Richard Court.
The price of iron ore is trading at around $US95 per tonne, but the BC Iron deal can be cancelled if the price falls below $US90 for more than 20 days in a row.
CMC markets analyst Michael McCarthy said the deal looked to be an opportunistic move.
"Given the structure of the deal and the opportunistic nature it is also quite a risky step in that they risk drawing attention to this one and might be outbid by someone with more firepower," Mr Mcarthy said.
He said the shares were lower as investors sold the seller and bought the target.
BC Iron shares lost 10 per cent to close at $2.99, while IOH was up 39 per cent, at $1.32.

Nov. 3, 2006
SANTA CLARA, Calif. - Santa Clara University has continued to flex its muscles as "Soccer U" in 2006, as the men's team has already clinched their ninth West Coast Conference title, and with a win on Saturday, the women's side can clinch their ninth conference title as well. On the individual side of things, men's goalkeeper Joseph Buttitta and women's defender Marian Dalmy continued their stellar years as they were each named the WCC Player of the Month for the month of October.
It is the first such honor for each player, and it comes on the heels of both Buttitta and Dalmy being named the most recent recipients of WCC Player of the Week honors on Oct. 30.
Buttitta's solid and steady goalkeeping in October helped the Broncos to a 6-0-2 mark in conference play, propelling the team to the top of the WCC standings and eventually to the title, as the San Jose native made five saves and withstood 10 shots in the opening 20 minutes in SCU's title-clinching 2-0 win at Loyola Marymount on Oct. 29. Boosted by a suffocating back line, Buttitta posted four shutouts during the month to bring his WCC-leading total to seven, and lower his WCC-best goals-against average to 0.76.
Dalmy, who shared Player of the Month honors with Portland's Michelle Enyeart, made her case as one of the final nominees for the M.A.C. Hermann Award by exhibiting her all-around abilities from both sides of the ball. With three goals and five assists on the attack, and being a major part of a Bronco defense that shut out three opponents in October, Dalmy helped lead Santa Clara to a 5-1-1 mark and also into a tie with Portland atop the WCC standings. The Lakewood, Colo. native was clutch for the Broncos in delivering three goals and three assists in the month's final three matches, and leads all WCC defenders with five goals and 16 points on the season.
Both teams conclude their regular season this weekend, as the men host Portland Friday night at 7 p.m. before closing the season out with a Senior Day match against Gonzaga at 1 p.m. Sunday afternoon. The women travel up to Moraga Saturday afternoon to battle the Gaels in a 1 p.m. contest.

This ethereal, beautiful, masculine, and totally awesome elf, Legolas, played perfectly by Orlando Bloom, is a fictional character in J. R. R. Tolkien's legendarium "Lord of the Rings" now a movie that has won 17 out of 30 Academy Awards nominated in total. I wish I could do this character justice. From Wikipedia's notes: "Legolas can see and hear from great distances. He is also lithe and slender with bright, keen eyes and ears and is fair of face as all elves are. He is an unrivaled archer and Gandalf calls him a dangerous warrior. He often bursts into song during the journey and is often the most cheerful member of the Fellowship. His keen eyes, ears and fighting skills are of immense use to the Fellowship but his friendship and loyalty to Aragorn, Gimli and Frodo make him an even more important member." I love that. Please fav, vote, and comment. Thank you all. Peace and love to you.

Authorities say the robbery of a marijuana grow in Central California triggered a gunbattle in which two people were killed and a 15-year-old girl was used as a human shield by fleeing robbers.
Fresno County Sheriff Margaret Sims said two other gunmen were arrested and three remained at large following Thursday's pre-dawn violence.
She said deputies heard the sound of gunfire as they responded to calls of a robbery at a house south of Fresno. They saw two cars speeding away and were only able to stop one when it pulled up to a hospital with a wounded man in a ski mask.
U.S. & World
Suspects in the other car took the girl hostage and dropped her off near downtown Fresno.
Another robber found near the house later died of gunshot wounds.

ARCADIA >> Santa Anita Race Track announced Wednesday that Thursday racing will be canceled due to high temperatures.
The announcement said extreme heat in the forecast could affect both riders and horses.
"While average temperatures for the month of May in Arcadia are usually in the mid-70s range, Thursday's projected high is a record-breaking 108 degrees, which presents clear challenges for both human and equine athletes," spokesman Mike Willman said in an emailed statement.
Racing is expected to resume on Friday. The track has cancelled racing due to rain, but never heat.
"In consultation with all of our stakeholders, the TOC (Thoroughbred Owners of California), the CTT (California Thoroughbred Trainers), and the Jockeys Guild," we feel it is best to cancel Thursday and resume racing as originally scheduled on Friday," said Santa Anita President Tom Ludt. "The good news is that beginning Friday, temperatures are expected to cool and with our twilight first post time on Friday at 3 p.m., we're confident we'll be in good shape, weather-wise."

A bold move by American business magnate Warren Buffett shook up the Hudson Valley real estate industry Tuesday when his company, HomeServices of America, Inc., acquired Houlihan Lawrence.
Houlihan Lawrence serves Westchester, Fairfield, Putnam, Dutchess, Orange and Ulster counties of New York and Connecticut with 1,300 sales associates operating in 30 sales offices. In 2016, Houlihan Lawrence closed $6.7 billion of sales volume.
Home Services is a Berkshire Hathaway affiliate. Berkshire Hathaway already owns real estate agencies in New York and Connecticut. The Houlihan Lawrence and Berkshire Hathaway offices in the region will continue to operate independently.
Nancy Seaman will step aside as chairman while her brothers Stephen Meyers, president and CEO, and Chris Meyers, managing principal, will continue to lead the firm's strategic growth initiatives and manage day-to-day operations together with their sales management teams. Houlihan Lawrence, like other locally-branded brokerage companies under the HomeServices umbrella, will retain its name.
Seaman, a resident of Greenwich, and her late husband Peter Bailey purchased Houlihan Lawrence from the Lawrence Family in 1990. When Peter suddenly passed away of cancer in 1994 at the age of 42, Nancy stepped in to assume control of the company. Together with her brothers, she built the business on a unique foundation of core values coupled with cutting edge technology.
Under her leadership, the company grew from 600 agents, 12 offices, and $375 million in annual sales to 1,300 agents, 30 offices and $6.7 billion in sales in 2016.
"We are joining an organization known for its strength and stability," Stephen Meyers said. "Our partnership secures the future of the firm without changing the exceptional culture that is core to our storied brand. We are thrilled with this announcement and the many benefits it brings to our clients and agents."
"When you combine the incredible strength of our people and the remarkable history of our success with the unsurpassed financial stability of HomeServices, there is no limit to what we can accomplish," Chris Meyers added.
A statement on the Houlihan Lawrence website said nothing will change except for the transfer of ownership. Seaman will pursue her long-term passion in the nonprofit sector, in which both she and Houlihan Lawrence have always been active.
Seaman's immediate work will be for children's advocacy. She will continue to serve on the Board of HELP USA, which benefits veterans and victims of domestic abuse.
"If not for my departure, you wouldn't know there was a change in ownership," Seaman said. "I truly love and believe in this company, and am confident this decision guarantees Houlihan Lawrence as we know it—and the extraordinary culture we've built over the past 125 years—will be around for the next 125 years."
Buffet is a business associate of Seaman's husband, Alan Schwartz, the executive chairman of Guggenheim Partners.
Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices New England/Westchester Properties is based in Wallingford, Conn. It opened its first Westchester County offices in 2015 in Scarsdale, Larchmont and Eastchester, and expanded to Rye last year. Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices New York Properties opened earlier this month in New York City.
"Nancy, Stephen and Chris, together with their team of sales managers and agents, have built an extraordinary organization and exemplify a level of expertise and leadership that is second-to-none in the real estate business today," said Ron Peltier, chairman and CEO, HomeServices. "Their culture of integrity and innovation closely aligns with our corporate vision and our emphasis on customer value and results."
With the transaction, HomeServices has nearly 29,500 real estate professionals operating in nearly 570 offices across 28 states. In 2016, the company's associates facilitated more than $93 billion in residential real estate sales.
