Why should students publish papers?
I still cringe when I recall the words of a former colleague (not an archaeologist) to the effect that graduate students should not publish papers. Students should spend all of their available time reading everything they can, and worry about publishing once their PhD is in hand. This attitude is closely related to what Krathwohl calls the "dissertation as process" approach --the idea that a dissertation is a methodological exercise and does not have to be an important piece of original research worth publishing. You learn methods and skills in writing a dissertation, and then you go on to apply them later. Do I have to say that I disagree very strongly with this position?
Well, if you don't publish articles while still a student, then you won't have to worry about applying your dissertation skills (because you won't get an academic job). Here are some reasons why graduate students should publish papers:
(1) To build up a resumé in preparation for the job market. When an academic department is hiring a new faculty member, brand-new PhDs are at a definite disadvantage compared to scholars who have been done for a couple of years. The latter people have had time to publish articles and perhaps get a new fieldwork project going. They have more of a track record, which indicates to a search committee that they are a good bet. The only way a brand-new PhD can stack up against someone with three years of post-PhD work under their belt is if he or she has published a few papers and established a track record. And if you don't get started BEFORE doing your dissertation, you won't have time to get the papers out in time.
(2) To get experience doing the kinds of things that academic researchers must do. Academia is a meritocracy. "Publish or perish" is the way of life. Its a jungle out there. The sooner you get started submitting papers to journals (and doing other kinds of professional activities), the more sophisticated you will be when you complete your PhD and go on the job market. And the more success you will have with later publishing and other professional things.
(3) Because this is what the professional life of an academic is all about. We carry out research and publish the results. We do this because we love it. Publishing is merely one part of the broader academic enterprise. If this is distasteful, then perhaps you are in the wrong line of work. Graduate students are professionals, or at least, professionals-in-training, so you should be doing the things that your professors do (well, some of those things). And all scholars have an ethical responsibility to publish the results of their research.
(4) Because you can. If your seminar papers or conference papers are not good enough to publish, then you are in the wrong line of work. If you have what it takes to succeed in this field, then you are almost certainly sufficiently smart and well-read and creative and motivated to be publishing papers. Now students sometimes have issues of self-confidence and self-doubt (these are related to, but not the same thing as, graduate student paranoia). This is where your professors sometimes need to give you a kick in the butt to work up a couple of your papers into articles. I certainly benefited greatly from the butt-kicking abilities of my own dissertation committee.
So, get off your butt and submit one of your papers to a journal.

I couldn't agree with you more, especially with your statement that if you don't enjoy publishing, you are in the wrong line of work. When a department has a position to hire, the faculty want to be sure that the person will be tenured. If the person is not tenured, there is no guarantee that the department will able to keep the line and hire a replacement. While my university has stated repeatedly that teaching is the most important category on which tenure is based, the truth is that we can't measure it. We are very adept, however, at measuring publications so insufficient publications is almost always the reason that someone is denied tenured. Once again, this is at a teaching university.
I believe strongly that graduate students need to focus on the step beyond the immediate goal of getting a Ph.D. As you say, they need to be building a track record of publications to be competitive for the job search after they finish. After graduation, the usually strategy is to break up the dissertation into a number of articles that are then submitted to journals. The problem is that it is hard to find a journal that doesn't take two years from submission to publication. My strategy, with the blessing of my committee, was to write and submit articles that were then brought together with other material to form a dissertation. In this way, I had a track record when I left school.

Another suggestion for grad students: time things so that one of those articles comes out around the time you defend your dissertation, so you'll have a nice recent publication on your CV when you send out job applications. This won't happen if you spend your last year of grad school focused entirely on getting your dissertation finished (as many of us tend to do).

Very interesting! I had heard about this practice in other disciplines, but not archaeology or anthropology. It is a creative and useful procedure, if the situation is right. It would be nice at one's dissertation defense to have a bunch of chapters published or in press. "Well, Professor RMA, I'm sorry you don't like that chapter, but it was good enough for American Antiquity."
Reminds me of the dissertation proposal defense of one of my students a while ago - her proposal was already approved for funding by NSF, so it was hard for us to find major problems with it! - September 27, 2012 at 1:35 PM

Today truely felt like the first day of Fall. This is my favorite time of year. I love the crispness in the air, the change in weather, the crunch of the leaves, the beauty of the trees. This is nature at its best. It was quite chilly walking to the bus stop this morning, but I relished every moment, it is so peaceful. I love just admiring the beauty of the season, clutching a cup of hot tea in my favorite mug, wrapped in a soft cozy sweater.
I also love this time of year because the pictures I take scream for Autumn colors. I am so drawn to the Autumn pallete and tend to use it often in my albums. I held a workshop on Friday night for a group of wonderful women. They wanted to learn more about the My Acrylix Stamps. We did this great layout (inspired by a layout in an old CTMH Idea Book) using CTMH stamps in different ways, showing how versatile they really are. I love how this came out and am happy to say that I can add a layout from 2007 to my album. All supplies are CTMH and I will post the products at the end of this entry.
One thing you will notice if you know my scrapbooking style at all is that I hand wrote the journaling. I NEVER do that. I always journal on the computer and add it to my pages. I have heard so many times from so many people that you should include your handwriting, but I just don't like how it looks. Why then, did I do it now? Well glad you asked. Kelsey has been telling me for a couple weeks now of and on how much she loves my handwriting (not sure why, but...) so I figured I should start including it. I am not too sure I like what I journaled, but I can always change it later I guess. So I ask, how do you journal, handwritten or computer? Long narratives or short blurbs? Let me know. Since this picture (and the ones on the right hand side of the layout) really tell the story, I think I might replace the journaling with a poem about leaves....any suggestions?
Products used (all products CTMH): Stripe B&T from Abundance Level 2 Paper Pack, Bamboo CS, Bamboo Ink, Autumn Terracota CS, Autumn Terracota Ink, Cocoa CS, Garden Green CS, Natural Hemp, Autumn Terracota Brad, Nature's Vein Stamp Set, Goldrush Ink, Barn Red Ink, Cranberry Ink, Playful Caps and Playful Lowercase stamp sets (alphas), Fall Leaves (Retired)

WALNUT — A man was behind bars Saturday on suspicion of ramming his vehicle into a sheriff's patrol car as deputies were trying to arrest him in connection with a battery case, authorities said.
Jason Patrick Maloney, 34, was booked on suspicion of assault with a deadly weapon on a peace officer and battery, Los Angeles County sheriff's Sgt. Angela Becerra said.
The incident began shortly before 11:45 p.m. Friday after deputies received a report of a battery at a convenience store in the 1300 block of Grand Avenue, officials said.
Responding deputies spotted the suspect — later identified as Maloney — driving nearby and approached him in an attempt to pull him over, Becerra said.
Before deputies could turn on their overhead lights to order the car to the side of the road, Maloney crashed the vehicle into a parked car, she said.
He then threw the car into reverse and rammed a patrol car occupied by two deputies in the 20000 block of Loyalton Drive, Becerra said.
Deputies took him into custody following a struggle that ended with Maloney being subdued with a Taser, officials said.
The deputies in the rammed patrol call were treated and released at a local hospital for injuries suffered in the collision.
Further details regarding the initial battery call were not available.

Calibration-class DCT pressure gauges offer an ideal solution: highly accurate periodic verification as an additional check on measurement systems without the [...]

Dryer was stopping mid cycle now not heating up
Model Number: Ned4800vq1 Brand: Amana Age: 1 - 5 years
Hello, dryer was stopping before cycle complete, think may have been caused by too many back to back loads or heavy loads. Recently dryer is not heating up. We have checked the following (heating element replaced, thermostat, hi-thermostat, cycling thermostat, thermal fuse, vent clear, breaker box) all seems to be good, so not sure what the issue is or what we may have missed. Any help is appreciated. Thx in advance! Related Models |

Here are your parts
Parts for Maytag NED4800VQ1 Dryer - AppliancePartsPros.com See the attachment for the tech sheet First I would check the power. The motor and timer run off half the line (120 volts) but the heater requires the full 240 volts. Try flipping the breaker off/on slowly a couple times, sometimes you can loose half the line without actually tripping the breaker. If this does nothing, check the voltage at the plug L1 to L2 should be 240 volts L1 to Neutral and L2 to Neutral, both should be 120 volts. If OK Unplug the unit and check the wires at the terminal strip in the machine to make sure none are loose or burned out If OK Check the power at the terminal strip. Be careful as 240 volts is lethal !!!

Kansas has become the fourteenth state to join in support of the U.S. Constitution's Second Amendment, agreeing that a person does not need to show why they want a permit to carry their firearm concealed.
In a case before the 4th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in Richmond, Virginia Kansas has been added to the list of states which oppose requiring those who apply for concealed carry permits to provide a reason for carrying concealed. Attorney General Derek Schmidt confirmed the addition on November 15.
The court is reviewing a decision by a Maryland district court which struck down a Maryland requirement that a person had to provide a reason for needing to carry their firearm concealed before a permit would be issued.
"Citizens who qualify to have a concealed carry permit should not be required to clear the further hurdle of showing the government why they need to have a firearm," Schmidt said. "The Second Amendment protects the individual's right to keep and bear arms and does not allow the government to demand to know the reason why."
Maryland is among 10 states with a concealed-carry law that has further restrictions, such as requiring a reason for the permit. In Maryland, the law requires a person to have "good and substantial reason to wear, carry, or transport a handgun."
The Maryland State Police unit that handles the permit requests has said that "such a reason must reflect more than `personal anxiety' and (show) a level of threat beyond that faced by the average citizen," according to court filings.
According to the National Conference of State Legislatures, Kansas is one of 39 states with laws on the books that do not require a person to give a reason for needing the license.
The other thirteen states that Kansas has joined with in the brief before the court are: Alabama, Arkansas, Florida, Kentucky, Maine, Michigan, Nebraska, New Mexico, Oklahoma, South Carolina, South Dakota, Virginia and West Virginia.

Albert had never really believed that he could simply stop caring. No matter what, he'd thought that he possessed an unquenchable well of resolve, deep enough for him to keep dipping into, no matter the circumstance. He wondered to himself, whether this was a blip in time, soon forgotten, or if it was the first step towards a darkening of his days. A headlong rush towards oblivion. It seemed strange to him that the first step could possibly be something this simple, and had to look again to see whether his fingers truly had pressed that button. Cloudy eyes confirmed his recollections - he was gambling 100 credits at a time now.
He chuckled softly, and kept on playing, not truly caring at the result. Such a stupid, stupid little thing. Six years he'd been coming to this place. Six years, he'd been gambling no more than twenty cents a time. He knew his pension couldn't really afford any more. The machines hadn't seemed important at all in the past - he couldn't have talked to Elisabeth from over the din of a noisy gaming room. He couldn't have seen her eyes when she smiled.
He'd never, ever wanted to miss out on that sparkle.
From a lane or two over, a ball full of lights, stuck to the ceiling, erupts into life, and abba begins to blare from hidden speakers. "money money money..." Albert doesn't really hear.
He picks up his jacket and hat, and turns to leave. Half a dozen steps later, turns at the sound of someone calling out to him. "Excuse me, you've left money in the machine." He turns back towards the exit, and keeps on walking.
I'm not here
She hates that look in his eyes. That glint, which tells her she should be quiet Just nod. Just say yes.
Were they really laughing together, only ten minutes ago?
She met a boy a little while ago. Never really fond out his name, never really knew anything about him. But he'd smiled at her, and said she was beautiful.
Too pretty to be crying.
She took a hold of that minute, held it close, and started to stretch it. Into an hour, day, week. Stretched it until it was almost at a breaking point, and it would extend no more.
There's nothing left to stretch, and she's so scared of feeling it shatter, loosing it completely.
this isn't happening
There is a photo on the wall. The edges are curled, the colour starting to fade. A young boy, such blonde hair, eyes a more vivid blue than look back at me in reflections these days.
So much younger than today.
Posing in a shopping mall with my brother and sister, dressed in photo clothes.
I need to stand up, and touch it. I need to make sure this is real.
And my fingers brush the paper, slightly rough to the touch. Dust is seperated in my fingers wake. I know that boy is me. I know he grew up. I just wish I could tell how much survived, because I don't remember the day that picture was taken. Or much of anything that boy lived through.
that there...that's not me

Lisa and I visited Growing Power this past winter (WELL below zero that day!) to shoot some video of how everyone's favorite Winter Salad Greens were grown. We came back with over an hour of video (most of which was eaten by my camera, but that's another story) and the feeling that we are in fact part of something big by supporting Growing Power.
Will Allen and his staff at Growing Power fight the good fight everyday ensuring that urban communities have sustainable food systems. How do they do it? They educate while they farm: Will travels all over to communities teaching urban farming practices and Growing Power hosts thousands of people each year on tours at their farms. Outpost plays a part in supporting this Milwaukee treasure by selling their greens, sprouts, worm power fertilizer and more in the future…and getting the word out about all Growing Power does.

May God send the sun into her heart and warm it w/our & His love. Please let her know of our thoughts and keep us posted on how she is doing.

Hi Lyndsy. Words cannnt describe my sadness when I read of wee Albert's passing. I was shocked. I am truly sorry that it came down to that. I know how much you were going through with that little guy. You were a great Mommy to Albert and he always knew that. He is now at the Rainbow Bridge not sick and in pain.
When your ready you will find it in you to get another....it doesn't matter how soon you do it or how long you wait. No one can replace Albert but you will have another fluff to love and love you back. Hugs xoxo Barbara

A Loved One is not gone, By the edge of a woods, at the foot of a hill,until they are forgotten! And to Live in the Hearts of those left behind is to live forever. Is a lush, green meadow where time stands still. Where the friends of man and woman do run, When their time on earth is over and done. For here, between this world and the next, Is a place where each beloved creature finds rest. On this golden land, they wait and they play, Till the Rainbow Bridge they cross over one day. No more do they suffer, in pain or in sadness, For here they are whole, their lives filled with gladness. Their limbs are restored, their health renewed, Their bodies have healed, with strength imbued. They romp through the grass, without even a care, Until one day they start, and sniff at the air. All ears prick forward, eyes dart front and back, Then all of a sudden, one breaks from the pack. For just at that instant, their eyes have met; Together again, both person and pet. So they run to each other, these friends from long past, The time of their parting is over at last. The sadness they felt while they were apart, Has turned into joy once more in each heart. They embrace with a love that will last forever, And then, side-by-side, they cross over together

Oh shit.
Oh shit.
the busy bee has no time for sorrow.
I'm considering buying from Vivid. They were pretty reliable the one time I bought tickets from them.
I wonder what my odds are if i just showed up and tried to talk my way in or find someone willing to sell onsite or something.
I remember trying that for a Jay Farrar / Brian Henneman billing at the old Nita's (the one on old rio salado next to the motorcycle repair shop). that didn't work so well. i got there and i saw brian in the parking lot by himself and i was like hey man do you have any more tickets and he just shrugged and went inside and played his set.
I've never tried talking my way in before, because I'm not that smooth, but I would say the odds of succeeding are pretty low with the setup at the venue. I think a few times I've seen scalpers on the street corner, so that might be worth a shot. I haven't bought a ticket yet because the fees on Vivid were in my opinion, unreasonable. Charging 15 for physical shipping and 7 to email me the ticket. It looks like I'll have to pass on this one unless prices plummet on stubhub (currently at $60).
Stubhub price is $40 today. I got a ticket.
Oh that's THIS Thursday? That's my daughter Eve's birthday...but she's with her dad anyway. Hmm. Ugh.
edit: TOM is that at Crescent?
the busy bee has no time for sorrow.
Bah I just followed Tom's lead and bought a ticket. I remember that being one of my great regrets a couple years ago that I was on ly able to watch two of their songs at Coachella.
the busy bee has no time for sorrow.
It looks like I'll do the same. Not a bad deal at all.
Nov. 3
Crescent Ballroom
Her set at Coachella 2011 was so much fun. Excited she's coming to Phoenix!

I'm drinking some honey badgers and ciders tonight!

Holy SHIT, they were good (First Aid Kit). HOLY SHIT. They played a Fleet Foxes song that they could hardly remember the words to, but it was still luminous, and they were so enthusiastic and humble. They played a Bob Dylan song that I knew only because the White Stripes covered it ("One More Cup of Coffee?"). They played several new songs, including one with the "f" word in it that earned them a parental advisory sticker on their new album (coming out in "11 days") as the blond, keyboard-playing sister jokingly but proudly told us. Oh man, I love when sisters harmonize. Such a wonderful thing to behold. They even sang a song without mics, and their voices rang through the club, lovely and proud. I love this band.
Best scalped ticket I bought EVER.

Amy's exactly right. That was one fucking amazing show. If you thought their Coachella set was good, this was light years beyond that. They've grown from being a wistful pair of songbirds two a rocking 4-piece with stage charisma like crazy. I was looking forward to last night's show but HOLY SHIT pretty much nails it. I feel like I witnessed something magical.
edit: they also covered Simon & Garfunkel's "America"
another edit: The new songs sounded fucking great.

Yeah I couldn't have said it better myself. The set list, their stage presence, that unplugged song they played, everything was perfect. They played a longer set than I thought they would. I also enjoyed Willie Mason's set too.
I also enjoyed Willie Mason! Great guitar picking and a very pleasant voice -- really pretty falsetto when he hit the high notes.
the busy bee has no time for sorrow.
Sorry I missed this.
northside groove...southside groove....eastside groove...westside groove
Willie really did kill it. I was thoroughly impressed having never heard his material before last night. Also, after replaying some of the memorable songs from last night, I think that may be one of the best shows I've seen this year. I really do hope First Aid Kit gets booked to play in 2015, preferably a set that isn't at 2 in the afternoon like their first time around.
yeah I think that was the best show i've seen since TA at FFF in 2012. so that's like in the past 18 months.
no no no.
I would say it was the best show this year but for the incomparable Janelle Monáe back in January. Tough act to follow. and both acts have great sense of style and drama in addition to an over abundance of musical talent.

Erasure Oct 21 Comerica Theatre onsale friday. anyone have a presale code? I tried Violet and it appeared to work.

Huh, I was pretty sure the presale was last week. We got our tickets already. I believe "violet" was the code, but Jen would be the authority being that she made the purchase.
Also, long time, no see, Mark. How've you been? Last I recall seeing you was at Presets when you were with a girl who was *really* enjoying her drugs. Or at least I presume that's what the cause of her behavior was.
I'm sure you are right. I've been working a lot more so I haven't been paying attention to the boards or show announcements. It's nice to finally see a decent price on a good show and be able to get good seats.
I'm still with that girl. She dances like that all the time sober too.

Parker Kligerman, driver of the No.7 Toyota Tundra in the Camping World Truck Series won for the first time in his NASCAR career today at Talladega Superspeedway.
Kligerman is 22 years old and the term "always the bridesmaid never the bride" would of suit him well, as he had five second place finishes prior to his win.
Kligerman got a push from Johnny Sauter as trucks were wrecking behind them on the final lap. Sauter finished in second place.
When Kligerman was interviewed he said, "We fought every single, possible fight you could fight today, We had a vibration. We had a battery going down. We had no alternator. Thank you Johnny Sauter. He made this possible."
James Buescher finished third, right ahead of Ty Dillon who started on the pole.
Dillon entered the race with a one-point lead over Buescher in the points standings and was able to maintain that cushion. Four races still remain until one [...]

As one of the Corn Belt states, Wisconsin takes pride in its sweet corn crop. In fact, the southern Wisconsin city of Sun Prairie devotes four days each August to celebrate this golden vegetable. The annual Sweet Corn Festival draws visitors from all over the state to enjoy endless amounts of hot, steaming corn dipped in butter. Scrumptious food isn't the only draw; carnival attractions and entertainment make the festival an ideal family event.
The Sweet Corn Festival began in 1953, making it the oldest festival of its kind in the state. What started out as a simple event focused on serving corn grew quickly into a major, four-day festival. Organizers added live entertainment, contests, carnival rides and games to make the annual celebration more attractive. Today, the festival, located in Angell Park, is the biggest event of the year in Sun Prairie and sees more than 100,000 visitors annually.
The celebration kicks off with the Corn Fest Parade, featuring local high school bands, dance troupes and corn-themed floats. At the festival grounds you'll find a midway with numerous classic carnival games and rides to enjoy. The separate Kiddie Korner features moon-bounce inflatables, face painting, an obstacle course and a miniature golf course. Other attractions include food booths, a petting zoo, helicopter rides, a bungee attraction, a paintball area and a craft market with vendors selling handmade crafts and decorative items. If you want a taste of the festival's signature buttered sweet corn, be sure to attend on Saturday and Sunday, the only two days that corn is served.
Contests at the festival vary from year to year, but a regular one is the Corn Theme Contest for the Sweet Corn Parade. Parade participants can enter their float or costumes into the competition for the most creative corn theme. Another regular contest is the corn-eating competition, in which hungry participants try to eat the most corn on the cob in an allotted amount of time.
The Sweet Corn Festival promises nonstop entertainment for all ages during its four-day run. Live bands perform at the Beer Shelter stage, while the Family Stage hosts child-friendly entertainment, such as storytelling, dance company performances, magicians and kiddie bands. The festival also organizes two days of bingo tournaments that are open to anyone. Visitors can also watch Midget Auto Racing at the Angell Park Speedway, located on the festival grounds.

Yes I know, another self contained security system nothing new.
But this one caught my eye. See the keypad on the left with the purple backlight? Thats a keypad / control panel, for real !
It was designed to be installed in a master bedroom or an area that a burglar cant easily get to.
Then you install the other wireless keypad on the right, that one could go anywhere like any wired keypad (this one is wireless too).

President Obama and congressional candidates are tripping over themselves trying to convince voters that they will have a tax plan to soak the rich, help the middle class and jump-start small business.
They want to entice people to spend what money they have and sway wary investors to shake loose with the $13 trillion currently tucked away waiting for more certain economic and political times.
Visible tax relief is but a small part of the equation for struggling people and employers. It is the hidden taxes imbedded in the family grocery, phone and power bills that are killing us.
Take electricity for example. Ratepayers, you and me, wonder why we are seeing our electricity costs ratcheting up. The power companies get the blame because people only see the increases in their monthly bills. So while the politicians can beat their chest boasting about all of the new requirements they have put in place, they don't tell us how much they cost.
Another case in point: Washington state is blessed with an abundance of low cost, greenhouse-free hydroelectric power - but it's not considered renewable in our state. Neither is wind, solar or biomass energy generated outside the Bonneville Power Administration service area. Nor is wood-waste energy generated from pulping liquors.
Even though current law under Initiative 937 mandates utilities to buy and sell more renewable power, lawmakers in Olympia have refused to amend it. So we feel it in our pocketbooks.
On top of that, the EPA is processing a batch of stiff new regulations on wood-waste generation projects that will not only drive up costs for that renewable energy, but in effect may prevent some from being built. As a result, the same renewable resources the state is encouraging are being tubed by the feds.
The effect is that as our population increases and demand for electricity grows, the law of supply and demand kicks-in. So our power bills keep going up and up!
Case in point: In the early 1970s as a congressional staffer, each summer I was handed a dozen of the most dire Social Security cases and sent back to western Montana. My assignment was to help these people weave through the maze of government regulations so they could qualify for supplemental Social Security payments.
Each person I met with had a stack of unpaid bills, including past due electricity invoices that ranged from $90 to $150 a month. Their total incomes ranged from $325 to $375 a month. Their homes and apartments were poorly insulated, which caused their heating bills to spike during winter months.
They were poor, elderly and mostly widows. They stayed home raising their kids, had little formal education, and took in wash and ironing to earn some extra money.
The bottom line was they were not making it financially and didn't need more expenses.
Fast forward to 2010. Today, there are thousands of other federal, state and local regulations draining family checkbooks and business bank accounts in the same way. You don't hear the politicians talking about that in their television ads.
The politicians, bureaucrats and activists who cavalierly tell us that we ought to smile and absorb all of these hidden taxes need to sit down with today's seniors and working families - like the kind of folks I met with 40 years ago. They'd get a whole new perspective on how all of these new mandates, confusing regulations, delays in permit processing, and edicts impact people.
Politicians don't have to wait until the political winds are blowing in the right direction to start. They just need to sit down, put themselves in the place of the average American - and listen.

Take tap lessons? Check.
My favorite thing about this video is how gobsmacked I look at the end of each section I complete. After the 50-second mark, it's all celebratory improvisation, so please don't blame Mr. Kloss for my lack of form.
Ready? Let's do this thing:
Next time? Sparklers.
Ed note: Intel is making my site more interesting by sponsoring my Mighty Life List over the next few months. Things will be a little hectic over here for a while.

kb Says:
fabulous! i am impressed!
Christian Says:
You look fantastic! I love that little prance-in- a-circle move, and that arms-and-legs-kick-out-in-synchronicity move (as you can tell, I have no formal training in either dance or dance nomenclature). BUT! Let's not forget the point – you did great!
Lisa Says:
OMG! You are fantastic!
I took my first tap class when I was three, and I've been dancing in one form or another ever since. I took adult lessons in college, and OMG! you are incredible! I've never seen anyone get it so quickly! very impressive!

hippittee Says:
you did all that with ONE lesson!! incredible! stylistically, the you rock the piece as well: hair, clothes and music – nice.
Moose Says:
You've inspired me to unearth my tap shoes and renew my dedication to the time step. Also: When I read John's comment, my heart actually stopped. Oh, how I dreaded the call of: "And…other side!" This was always the point at which I would fake asthma and broken legs.
I applaud the sparklers idea and eagerly await the sequel.
ChrisB Says:
Julianna Says:
Maggie, I started reading your column almost 3 years ago. Your wit and candid outlook hooked me immediately. I giggled and Woo'd along with you in this video…your appreciation for even the mundane is joyful and inspiring. Thanks for sharing the idea of a Life List, and may you continue to discover the mighty things in yours.

Until their discovery, the tombs were covered by a tumulus 13 m high and 110 m across. It must have been constructed at the beginning of the third century bc by Antigonos Gonatas, to protect the royal tombs from further pillaging after marauding Galati had looted and destroyed the cemetery.
An underground building was constructed in 1993 to enclose and protect the royal tombs, maintaining the stable temperature and humidity necessary to preserve the wall paintings. From the outside, the building looks like an earthen mound; inside, the treasures found in the royal tombs have been on display since November 1997. Apart from the sepulchral monuments themselves, there is an open area of 1,000 sq.m., where the finds from the tombs are displayed in showcases. Lighting is very subdued to draw visitors undivided attention to the exhibits. The tombs, however, which are at a lower level, are illuminated normally, to give visitors a complete picture.
The first thing visitors see is a number of grave stelai that were found in the fill of the tumulus, and three display cases containing artefacts used by ordinary people of Philips time, to point up the difference between their life and that of the Macedonian kings.
The first tomb is a large Macedonian tomb, almost contemporary with the others, which was found desecrated and completely destroyed. It is important because it illustrates the development of Macedonian sepulchral architecture since the time of Philips tomb (the latter had piers with half columns, while this one had independent columns which simply stood close to the front wall).
Next is the Heroön, a building which was intended for the cult of the dead kings. The foundations and the cist grave survive. This is a particularly important grave because it contained a wall painting of the rape of Persephone by Pluto. It was found desecrated.
The most important tomb of all is Philip IIs, which measures 9.50 x 5.50 m and has a deep antechamber and a large, square burial chamber. The facade has the form of a Doric temple, with a marble door, and is adorned with triglyphs and metopes. Above the Doric frieze, however, there is an Ionic frieze with a painting of a hunting scene. Three horsemen and seven men on foot pursue a lion, deer, and boar. Only one of the men is mature and bearded, and he is identified as Philip. Another of the men is Alexander. This hunting scene and the Rape of Persephone are the only surviving examples of ancient Greek painting, and are probably the work of Philoxenes and Nikomachos.
In the burial chamber was found a marble sarcophagus, inside which was a gold larnax containing the ashes of the dead king and his crown. His weapons were also here, together with symposium and bathing accoutrements and the remains of the wooden mortuary couch adorned with gold, glass, and ivory. The larnax, the crown, the weapons (most notable among which is the shield), the mortuary couch, the rest of the personal effects, and grave goods are displayed in showcases in the open space in front of Philips tomb.
In the antechamber of Philips tomb another gold larnax was discovered with a royal diadem inside a marble sarcophagus, together with a wooden mortuary couch with similar decoration to Philips. The larnax must have contained the ashes of Kleopatra, Philips youngest wife, who was assassinated immediately after her husband.
Last is the tomb of the prince, which is ascribed to Alexander IV, the son of Alexander the Great. It closely resembles Philips, though it is smaller and instead of half columns has two omphalia, or discs, with painted heads. The tomb had a painted frieze, nothing of which survives, however, owing to the technique used to paint it (fresco). The cinerary urn was a silver hydria, with a gold oak wreath placed around the neck. There were also weapons in the tomb, together with quantities of grave goods and vases and a wooden mortuary couch adorned with gold and ivory. The decoration of the couch is notable for a representation of Dionysos with a flute-player and a satyr. All the contents of the tomb are displayed in showcases in the open space in front of the tomb.
The exhibition concludes with an extensive account of the life and work of Manolis Andronikos, who excavated the royal tombs.

Busing the kids
I dropped off Zolie at her preschool today and though it would be nice to stay for the their walk day. Little did I know we were going for a bus ride! Zemaya and Adam are braver than I am to take on such an adventure with so many kids! We had a great time, sang songs, waved too much at strangers, pretended to feed the ducks (they were not amused) played in the play ground, shouted very loud "HI" to all the moms, and walked back just in time to make the bus back. I'll let the pictures tell the rest. I had fun. Thanks to APS!
Waiting for the late bus
Bye, wish us luck!
More Pictures of the day
Zolie Mae & Quincy Nola's 3rd Birthday Party!
Great 3rd birthday with the girls and their friends and family. The Snail was a big hit and the food and cupcakes were over the top! Glad we got to share it with Quincy and her family.
Then on her Birthday day we all went to the Pride Parade and won a ribbon!
More on that event
Power Tool Drag Races
Zolie had a great time with dad and Alan loading the race car and setting up at the track. She was so cute in her little cowboy hat and her dirty knees. Dad ended up winning, and Zolie gave him a big hug and said Yeaaaaaa!
Zolie at CAL Taxidermy Department
Taxidermy Department at CAL
After missing the deadline for preschool (a week after I met Kyrsten) we thought we should get the jump on college for Zolie so we took her to CalDay to sign her up for college. We thought she might like taxidermy but she was visibly disturbed by all the dead stuff. She was back to her happy self once we found some live things (bunnies, lizards, and these great stick bugs).
OK, it's been far too long between the postings of a Zolie Mae update. I've been a very busy mama working and trying to get back into dancing. So of course the pictures I'm going to post have pictures of the little miss at the largest belly dance festival in America. She LOVED it. See the little blue outfit? Even today she had to have it on for a while. She points to her cupboard and says "Mama, dancing." Which means, put my cute costume on me and turn on some music.
The photos show her taking over the festival, a couple of pictures of us dancing in our cute costumes (which I designed), and then Zolie trying to fit in with the group after us. Later, she peformed an interpretive winged veil dance in the shopping aisles for a growing adoring crowd. Oh dear, what have I wrought?
Todd's Blue and Green Ball
The Blue and Green Ball benefit for Todd Blair went off spectacularly. It seems as if no one was exhibiting how super exhausted they were at 3AM when I left after packing up in the rain. There are many descriptions in the comments section of Todd's blog, so please take a look at that. I can only hope that something that big and intense can be felt half-way around the world in a hospital in Amsterdam.
The whole family went over to Grandma and Grandpa Mate's for Thanksgiving. It was wonderful that Auntie Jolene and her dog Sadie could make it as well. Everyone but poor Grandma took a short walk before we had the traditional Turkey dinner. All in all it was a lovely visit.
Camping at Jason and Shannon's again!
This time, we went up there for Jason and Shannon's combined 40th birthday party. Holy Toledo! It was a fabulous party. As always, Shannon was the hostess with the mostess and made yummy food and of course a wonderful pina colada pineapple upside down cake. The entertainment for the evening was "redneck machine ballet" No, I am not kidding. Jason had an old car that he stripped all the plastic out of, then he filled it with wood. Justin had brought up his armadillo-like robot Darwin; so Justin with Darwin and Jason in a huge backhoe danced around the car on fire completely smashing it. I guess you just had to have been there. Or maybe pictures would suffice.

"Eddie Allen and the B-29" — An Excerpt from The Global Twentieth, by Bob Robbins »
A special supplement to AVweb's profile of Bob Robbins . More
A special supplement to AVweb's profile of Bob Robbins . More
During World War II, in more than 1,000 hours of engineering and experimental flight testing, Boeing test pilot Bob Robbins made major contributions to the combat effectiveness of B-17s and B-29s. After WWII his contributions continued, first as test pilot for the initial flight testing of the then-radical experimental XB-47 and later as B-47, B-52 and KC-135 project engineer or program manager for those vitally important programs at Boeing's Wichita plant. In this month's Profile, AVweb's Joe Godfrey talks with Bob about flying Boeing B-314 Clippers over the Atlantic for Pan Am, his 37 years at Boeing testing and managing programs on B-17s, the XPBB-1, the #1 XB-29, XB and B-47s, B-52s and KC-135s, and the day he outran [then Major] Chuck Yeager. More
Chuck Perriguey figured his days of taking fire in a helicopter were over when he finished his Vietnam tour in 1969. But on February 27, 1997, two escaping bank robbers in full body armor fired armor-piercing rounds from their AK-47s at his LAPD helicopter over North Hollywood. He spent the next 40 minutes helping position SWAT teams on the ground while dodging bullets and news helicopters in the air, and earned LAPD's Medal of Valor. In this month's Profile, AVweb's Joe Godfrey talks with Officer Perriguey about flying Hueys in Vietnam, his 25 years in the air support division of the LAPD, and his six years as president of the Airborne Law Enforcement Association. More
Months before Pearl Harbor, Dick Rossi gave up his commission as a U.S. naval aviator to fly P-40s over Asia. He joined the First Pursuit (Adam and Eve) Squadron of Chennault's American Volunteer Group � which became known to history as the Flying Tigers. When the Tigers stopped flying in 1942, Dick flew more than 700 missions "over the hump" from India to China in C-46s and -47s . After the war he helped fellow AVG Ace Bob Prescott establish the Flying Tiger Line, which flew "anything, anytime, anywhere" until FedEx bought the line in the late '80s. In this month's Profile, AVweb's Joe Godfrey talks with Dick about his 25,000+ hours and 60 years of flying. More
Rich Stowell grew up near the airport at Sussex, N.J., watching his neighbors Leo Loudenslager, Betty Stewart and other aerobatic champions. He had a dream to fly, and when his career path landed him three floors underground in a room full of drafting tables, he chucked mechanical engineering to pursue his dream. Now he teaches aerobatic and emergency maneuvers in Santa Paula, Calif., just northwest of L.A. In this month's Profile Rich talks with AVweb's Joe Godfrey about aerobatic competition and instruction, the correct way to teach spin training, and offers suggestions for pushing your own envelope. More
Bob Rasmussen is still surrounded by airplanes. When he flew the slot with the Blue Angels in the late '50s he had them front, left and right. Now they surround his office at the Naval Aviation Museum in Pensacola. In his 13 years as director of the museum, he has tripled the museum's size and collection, and now has his eyes on some unique airplanes that Mother Nature has been storing at the bottom of Lake Michigan for over 50 years. In this month's Profile, Capt. Rasmussen, who is also an accomplished aviation artist, talks with AVweb's Joe Godfrey about life as a Naval aviator, flying with the Angels, running the museum, and the interesting medium he uses for his paintings: watercolors. More
Walt Troyer has been the disembodied voice in the air during AirVenture's warbirds shows for 18 years, and he brings a sense of history and a flair for the dramatic to each performance. AVweb's Matt Paxton spent some time one afternoon in the announcer's booth while Troyer did his thing. Here's his report. More
In 1939 Barbara "B.J." London was studying to be a Home Economics teacher when she took a Civilian Pilot Training (CPT) course and learned to fly. During WWII she trained other CPT students, delivered fighter and bomber airplanes as one of the original 25 pilots in the Women's Auxiliary Ferrying Squadron, and is the only woman pilot to receive the Air Medal during WWII. Since then she has been an airplane dealer, executive secretary for the Powder Puff Derby, an aviation consultant, a community advocate for Long Beach Airport, and a mentor to other aviators in the family, including her two pilot daughters. In this month's Profile, B.J. talks with AVweb's Joe Godfrey about 60 years of adventures in and around airplanes. More
Charles McGee, who hadn't been in an airplane when he arrived at Tuskegee Institute in 1942, just wanted equal opportunity and the chance to be graded on his performance. Thirty years later he retired as a Colonel, holding the highest three-war total of combat missions in U.S. Air Force history. In this month's Profile, AVweb's Joe Godfrey talks with Colonel McGee about his love of flying, and how the Tuskegee Airmen Inc. honor the past and shape the future. More
Paul Soderlind didn't invent smooth air, but he can tell you where to find it. Northwest Airlines still uses the "Turbulence Plot" system he developed as Director of Flight Operations there. Pilots who use his critical-airspeed "Bug System" find it easy to transition from one type to another. Paul has spent his life studying, improving and simplifying how to fly. In this month's Profile AVweb's Joe Godfrey interviews Paul about his many accomplishments. More
If Cirrus can find 300-plus million-dollar buyers, why can't some of the more capable LSA manufacturers find more buyers at a fifth the price? More
The winner is an airplane and water again but not technically a floatplane. Edgar Tello took this beauty of a Seabee testing the waters on a pond at Sugar Valley Airport in North Carolina. Nice work, Edgar.
