The Lindenwood University Psychology Department will host the Fifth Missouri Undergraduate Psychology Conference (MUPC) on Friday, Nov. 6, and Saturday, Nov. 7. The event will feature a keynote address and presentations by students and alumni who have conducted research in the past year on a variety of topics within the field of psychology.
Henry L. Reodiger III, Ph.D., dean of academic planning and professor of psychology at Washington University in St. Louis, will deliver the keynote address. His presentation is titled, "How Retrieval Enhances Retention: Some Lessons for Educational Practice," and covers human learning, memory, and retention.
Undergraduate students from colleges in Missouri and neighboring states will present on experimental research findings, study proposals, and applied learning experiences.
"An exciting part of this year's conference is that all previous MUPC conferences have taken place in the western portion of the state," said Michiko Nohara-Leclair, associate professor of psychology at Lindenwood. "Now that it's here this year, we're hoping to attract more schools from the eastern side of Missouri and increase the number of participating institutions."
She also urged staff to attend the conference and to encourage their students to participate.
"If students are conducting research in related disciplines then they can take part," she said. "It's such a good experience and its right here on our campus so why not?"
The deadline to submit presentation proposals is Friday, Oct. 16. The early registration fee is $15. Those who wish to only to attend the conference can register on the day of the event for $20.
Roediger's keynote address will take place from 11 a.m. to noon on Saturday, Nov. 7, in the Spellmann Campus Center. His presentation is part of the Lindenwood University Academic Speaker Series and is free and open to the public.
For more information about the conference or about volunteer opportunities, please visit www.lindenwood.edu/MUPC or contact Nohara-Leclair at 636-949-4371, or by e-mail at firstname.lastname@example.com.

Troupe brings 'Taming of the Shrew' to Hong Kong
HONG KONG (AP) — The theater troupe that's brought an all-female interpretation of the "The Taming of the Shrew" to China says global audiences see Shakespeare's works powerfully and they believe touring is at the heart of the Bard's plays.
The players pay tribute to that in the opening of the production in Hong Kong by singing an Irish folk tune while dressed as a classic theatre troupe. The Shakespeare's Globe group which rebuilt the Globe Theatre in London is performing for the first time in Hong Kong and has high hopes to establish a lasting presence in China.
Kate Lamb, who plays independent and headstrong Katherina, says working in new spaces before new audiences is the best part of performing globally.
"What I've discovered with the Globe is that the audience is as big a part of the play as are the actors," Lamb said. "Every time you tour to a new venue you're playing to a new audience, a new society, a new village or a new country, and that comes with it the reactions and different histories and so you are relating to a different thing.
"People laugh at different things depending on the country, depending on the town, and it's great. It's new every time and that's the best thing for me," she said.
Globe artistic director Dominic Dromgoole says he finds that people outside of Shakespeare's home country often relate to the play more strongly and offer up more striking productions than the British do themselves.
"The extraordinary thing about Shakespeare's play is often they speak more powerfully outside of England than they do inside England. It seems odd that, but a lot of places understand the world of these plays better than we do ourselves. Last year we had a production of 'The Taming Of The Shrew' from Pakistan, in Urdu, as part of our international festival. It was amazing how true and how sharply true it was to that society," he said.
The group found new meaning to the play, and rather than viewing it as a dark comedy that sees Katherina conform herself to society's expectation and transform herself into a submissive wife, Lamb sees her character as an insecure woman to whom modern girls could relate.
"I've actually had quite a few people come up to me and say to me how much they've related to what they saw on the stage and how much it meant to them and how it moved them. I mean, I can relate to it, to certain aspects of what she goes through and her personality. I think we all have fears of being lonely, I think we all have fears of being misunderstood. I think that's incredibly natural," she said.
Leah Whitaker plays the male protagonist, the gold-digging Petruchio who was determined to domesticate his wife, Katherina. The role is a challenging one, but Whitaker does not feel the pressure.
"Actually I think there's an awful lot of freedom in acting as a man. Certainly in Shakespeare, women of our age very rarely get to be the protagonist because he didn't write young female roles, or many young female roles that were as active and as fun as it is. So actually I think that it is a huge honor to play a man, but also it's an awful lot of fun," she said.
The "The Taming Of The Shrew" is being performed in Hong Kong through Sunday and in Singapore in October.

The best way to see a city is by meeting the locals. That's the idea behind Jewgether, a website that connects Jewish travellers with Jewish locals around the world.
"Local people know the best places so it's nice to go with them and really get to know the place," said Boaz Albaranes, one of three Israeli co-founders of Jewgether.
The Israeli-based site allows travellers to create profiles and search through a database of people who could host them while on a trip abroad.
Hosting could be anything from inviting the traveller for a Shabbat dinner, showing them around the city, or giving them a space to sleep.
It all began after two of founders travelled to the United States to attend two different Jewish summer camps. After spending weeks at the camp, they travelled around the country visiting their new friends.
If the two of them enjoyed this type of travelling so much, why not spread it around the world, said Albaranes, who runs the site along with fellow co-founders Doron Samish and Tamir Einy.
The project began as part of a year-long Stand With Us fellowship in 2007-2008. In it they learned about Israel advocacy, the media and the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.
It was a program for leaders in the Jewish world, said Einy. "They would like to empower people to be the next leaders of Israel."
The final assignment had students, in groups of 20, create a project that somehow relates to the Jewish world, Albaranes explained.
When the fellowship ended, the three students decided to continue with the project, opening it to the public in the summer of 2009.
To ensure the safety of its users, profiles require everybody to post a photograph that makes their face clear.
When a new person registers, they undergo an approval process, in which the co-founders work to determine if the applicant appears safe. Einy described the process as quite a long one, taking up to 24 hours per applicant.
"We [also] suggest people to meet in a public place, or they can ask for a password from the guest," Einy said.
Additionally, users can write reviews of either their guests or hosts, vouching for the user or explaining to others what to expect from a visit with that person.
"People write their profiles including where they live, their kosher level, if they keep Shabbat or not, and they tell about themselves," Einy said. "They also mention their family members and there are many pictures."
While the co-founders receive notification when a host accepts a meet-up request, many make the initial connection on the site and then move to e-mail or telephone to come up with the details of their plan, explained Albaranes, so they can only speculate about the number of meetings that the site has led to. However, he estimates the number to be several hundred.
Someone interested in making a connection can register with the website. After approval, they can specify which continent or country they would like to visit and then get a directory of users in those places, with the option of contacting them to arrange a connection.
So far, about about 1,500 users from around 40 different countries have been approved. Much of the advertising has come through Facebook and other websites, as well as through word of mouth.
Mike Klein is one user who has hosted a family he connected with through the website. He described the guests as a young couple who had probably been couch-surfing throughout most of their travels around the United States.
He said he would typically give them freedom to do whatever they wanted, but might meet for dinners and spend some time together in the evenings.
He had also hosted Einy and several other Israelis through the mishlachat program at the Reform movement's Camp Newman in California, in which Israelis, generally after serving in the army, attend as staff to teach campers about Israel.
"It brings a little bit of Israel to our local communities," said Klein, who is based in Monterey County, Calif.
The Jewgether website also features blog posts and columns by Albaranes and Teddy Weinberger, a columnist on Jewish life who also helps with fundraising and English-language materials for Jewgether.
The organization recently gained non-profit status, allowing them to accept donations to maintain and further develop the website. Additionally, they recently received a grant from the ROI Community, an organization that supports Jewish innovation.
Each of the founders have made connections through the website. Albaranes said he met a family when he visited Guatemala who spent some time teaching him about the city and the country, and what it's like to be a Jew in Guatemala.
He learned that it's very different from living as a Jew in Israel, where being Jewish is the norm.
It takes a lot more to be Jewish as part of such a small minority, he said.
"If you speak logistically, they have to bring their kosher food from Mexico City every week," he said. "It was a different Judaism."
He said that's part of what makes Jewgether so special. Not only do you get to connect through religion and culture, but also get to know the country you're visiting.
"We have many members who are religious, but it's not necessarily for religious things," said Einy, who pointed out that only about 27 per cent of the site's users observe Shabbat. "It's for people to meet on Friday, but also on Tuesday and on Sunday. It's not just for Shabbat, but every day."

New Bathroom Spider
Ever since moving into our new house, HB and I have had a bathroom spider. It is Trite Planiceps, a common jumping spider. It does not make webs, and it is territorial. The territorial-ness of it means that every so often suddenly we have a NEW bathroom spider, and I get very excited and compare New Bathroom Spider to Old Bathroom Spider (R.I.P.) and HB rolls his eyes a little and wonders why he shacked up with me in the first place if all I am ever going to be doing is running into the bedroom shouting excitedly about spiders.
My favourite bathroom spider was Old One-Leg, who was there for ages (I think it was him all along, they all sort of look the same) then lost one of his front legs in a spider-on-spider shower battle which I was lucky enough to witness. I was in the shower and looked up to see gladiatorial spiders, locked in a deadly embrace! I would've gone and got the camera to show you, but I was all covered in soap. As a mark of respect, I even washed the body of the vanquished spider down the drain.
Sadly, a couple of weeks later, Old One-Leg was replaced by Little New Spider, who was both little and new, and had all of his legs. This wasn't enough to keep him from being swiftly taken out by New Spider, who was bigger and, it turns out, a raging fuckwit.
In general, I have a healthy respect for Bathroom Spider (Trite Planiceps). I don't poke him with a bit of dental floss, and in return he doesn't hide then crawl up my butt when I am on the toilet. I look at him curiously and he waves his legs at me and all is well with the world.
Not New Jerk Spider. New Jerk Spider is above any sort of treaty. I found this out when yesterday I had a shower and when I hopped out, he was on my towel. There is nothing quite like hopping out of the shower and reaching for your towel, while thinking about how clean and refreshed you feel and how you could really go for a bagel but maybe we don't have any cream cheese, then AACCKKK FUCK SPIDER ON MY TOWEL WHY IS HE THERE WHAT DO I DO?
"Okay," you think, "the spider is on my towel." Not, 'There is a spider on my towel,' because you know exactly which spider it is.
"Stay calm. Move the spider off the towel. Move him with... a toothbrush!"
"No, not MY toothbrush! Move him with HB's toothbrush."
So you move the spider with HB's toothbrush and the spider does not want to move but eventually he does because he sees the cold gleam of death in your eyes, and then you shake your towel for five minutes and think, "Well, that was kind of weird," and get on with your day.
The next day you go into the bathroom and you sit down to do a wee and you reach for the toilet paper AND THE SPIDER IS ON THE TOILET PAPER.
After a comical scene which I shall spare you but which involved a backwards waddle over to the bathroom cupboard (backwards because of keeping an eye on the spider), I went back with a piece of paper and a glass because I really felt that this whole bathroom-sharing thing wasn't working out between us and it was time for a new Trite Planiceps to move in.
There is no moral to this story except that until I find him I am going to the downstairs toilet.
9 comments:
Perhaps RF Spider had just gone number 1 as well. And was being hygienic. Or perhaps it was a polite spider way of trying to hand you the toilet paper. And the towel, in fact.
And remember you can't assume it's a he.

I very much like the concept of spider politeness, as opposed to spider aggression. Thank you - may venture back to upstairs bathroom!
Re: spider gender - I did some Googling and the ladies have different legs to the men (just like with people). I'm pretty sure he's a he.

We are out of cream cheese! Just the house though, not the country. And the supermarket is 3 minutes drive from home so we haven't called Civil Defence quite yet.
Disagree on the accent - I find nothing adds romance quite like two people shouting "Fush and chups!" "Feesh and cheeps!" at each other for hours.
Good luck for the date :) Hope it goes well and he is both handsome and intelligent.

There was/is a terrible childrens' book about a spider in the shower (short story shorter: lions are scared of spiders; roosters aren't, sounds straightforward but TRUST ME ON THIS ONE it wasn't). To this day it makes me feel bathroom arachnids are the most pernicious and terrifying. That and I'm most vulnerable when my pants are down.
You are a brave lady for even contemplating some kind of peace accord with bathroom spiders.

Need for Speed Underground 2 Summary
Need for Speed Underground 2 Review
Tuned engines, nitro systems, burned tires and a great palette of colors & paints… you know what I am talking about right?
Latest news
EA's "first look at the return" of Need for Speed this Thursday, May 21st
More Need for Speed is on the way after EA has updated the series Facebook page with a teaser for this Thursday. The main page's banner when brightened showed two cars racing at night, with some pointing to Underground.
Ghost Games is leading the nitrous fuelled charge this time, and has said a return to the Underground offshoot could happen if demand was there amongst fans, and mentioned Frostbite 3 making an appearance if so.
Rumour: Criterion 'rebooting' Need for Speed: Underground? [UPDATE]
UPDATE: "Totally fake. Remakes and Reboots?" tweet Criterion.
Another subtitled adventure within the Need for Speed series is getting the Criterion reboot treatment, according to rumour, and this time it'll be Underground. It will apparently be set in a new Bayview City.
An anonymous party sent in a proposed logo for this reboot, saying it was in development for Xbox 360. Oddly the logo includes landmarks like Big Ben and the Coliseum. Something's not right.

Indians shut out Faith Christian 86-0
There are times in sports where a final score will jump out. That was the case for the Maricopa football team last Friday night when they defeated Faith Christian 86-0 at Faith Christian.
With the victory, Maricopa improves to 1-2 on the season.
Maricopa didn't waste anytime getting started by scoring 26 points in the first quarter and 38 points in the second. Scoring tailed off in the second half with the Indians scoring eight points in the third quarter and 14 in the second.
Friday's score was just part of a wild beginning for Maricopa. In their first game of the season the Indians were shut out by Northwest Christian 38-0 before losing to Dunn 62-28 the following week.
Maricopa will look to build on their winning ways Saturday morning when they travel to Alpaugh. The game begins at 11 a.m.

The wait is over, and the DC Comics heroes have banded together. Radulich and Winfree discuss and break down the film, in this Justice League Review.
Source Material: Justice League The Darkseid War (DC Comics, 2016)
On this Source Material episode, Mark, Jesse and Ronnie discuss one of DC Comics major events, Justice League The Darkseid War.
About The Author: Jesse Starcher
Podcasts are one of the greatest mediums ever. 10 years ago Jesse found myself driving back and forth to work with over an hour of travel time. Talk radio became something that he enjoyed and helped kill time during the commute. The problem was NPR never stayed completely interesting and his only other options were the ESPN network and the local channel that hosted religious programming. Always the same show... at the same time. It was pretty limited. About three years ago he discovered Podcasts and it changed how he spent much of his time. It opened up options to great niche content that he never even knew was available. After that, he got his first podcast gig on the From the Cheap Seats sports podcast with Jayson Teasley and became a co-host shortly after that. His real passion however was comics. He managed to talk Mark Radulich into letting him do the network's premier comic book podcast Source Material. This would give him a platform to chat with friends about one of his favorite hobbies. A tremendous opportunity. Also, recently Jesse has worked his way into becoming the third co-host, alongside Mark Radulich and Robert Cooper, of the metal Hammer of Doom podcast. He loves music and a podcast about heavy-metal right up his alley.

Dear Dr. Yael:
My husband and I are, Baruch Hashem, happily married for five years. But there is a stumbling block constantly facing us.
I grew up in a home without any shalom bayis, as my parents constantly argued and fought. They tried to be good parents but they were always in bad moods because of their relationship. I often hated being home and was embarrassed to bring friends around because of what they might witness.
With maturity and a lot of soul searching, I finally understand their issues. I am have stopped blaming them for what they put us through and instead try to respect them for the efforts they put into raising us. But when it comes to my marriage, every time my husband says something that remotely resembles what my father may have said to my mother, I find myself responding the way she did. This happens even if what he said doesn't bother me when I think about it calmly. For his part, my husband understands the way I grew up and tries to be patient with me, but his patience is wearing thin.
Related to that is although my husband and I are happy now, I am sure that unhappiness will soon set in. After all, my parents were probably happy when they were first married; their unhappiness developed over time. And that make me wonder whether or not we are actually happy now.
All of this is taking a toll on my marriage and I am not sure how to deal with it. I'd also like to know if this is normal.
Thanks in advance for your advice. We are looking forward to hearing your suggestions.
A Reader
Dear Reader:
You appear to be experiencing transference in your relationship with your husband. Transference is when someone transfers the negative feelings he or she feels toward one person who is important onto someone else.
Your attitude is a key issue in your marriage. If you believe that you are happy, you will in fact be happy – as happiness is a state of mind. Therefore, it is not healthy to think negatively.
It sounds as if you have worked on your personhood. The fact that you are so aware of your issues demonstrates your strengths. Take advantage of this and work on improving the way you respond to your husband. Just believe that you can find positive ways to react – once you believe that you can, it will be easier to do!
There is something called the Imago Theory that I often employ in therapy sessions. Basically it allows people to recreate their imago – the image of their own childhood in their lives and in their marriages.
What often happens during the dating process is that you are attracted to someone who, in your mind, may resemble one or both of your parents. This may present challenging issues to you (and possibly to your spouse as well) in your marriage. You may want to subconsciously recreate your childhood problems and work them out through your marriage. At times, even if your husband does not really behave like your father but does certain things that sometimes remind you of your father, you may overreact to those things because of your childhood.
As to your important question about whether your situation is normal: it falls within that category. But please remember to reasonably do what it takes to fight your negative feelings and the overall depressing cycle.
Since your husband is attempting to not allow you to recreate your childhood, you may need individual therapy. While as you say your marriage is good right now, you are falling into the trap of responding the way your mother responded to your father.
Much of what is transpiring is not on a conscious level. Thus, a therapist will hopefully be able to help you focus and build your positives. Through the building of those strengths, you will enhance your chances of overcoming your nisyonos (challenges) in life. I honestly believe that it will be difficult for you to change the way you respond to your husband without professional help.
Keep in mind that the therapist's personality is key to your success in being helped. Seek a therapist who is cognitive-behavioral and solution-oriented. In order to conquer your problem, help the therapist in his or her attempt to focus on all of your strengths.

RØDE Microphones highly recommend that you only purchase RØDE products from authorised dealers. You can view a full list of authorized US dealers here.
If you purchase any RØDE microphone from an unauthorized dealer you will not receive any US warranty or technical support. You can view a full list of unauthorized US dealers here.
The RØDELink system has an operating range up to 100m (~110 yards), however as with all wireless transmission devices this operating range can be influenced by external factors.
The RØDELink system operates in the 2.4GHz frequency spectrum which is shared with common wireless transmission devices such as WiFi networks, Bluetooth devices, microwave ovens and more. The more 2.4GHz devices that are simultaneously running in the same location as your RØDELink system, the more congested this 2.4GHz frequency spectrum will be, cutting down the signal strength and overall operating range for all 2.4GHz devices. In a very busy 2.4GHz environment you may find your RØDELink system is unable to maintain its maximum operating range.
Signal travelling distance is also another possible factor. This refers to the physical distance between the Receiver (RX) and Transmitter (TX). An unobstructed line of sight between the two devices will provide the shortest possible signal travelling distance, therefore the strongest signal. If the signal needs to travel through, or around walls and other objects, this lengthens your signal travelling distance, reducing overall signal strength.
For more information on the 2.4GHz spectrum with your RØDELink system watch the video below.

Ravens 24, Bengals 16
2. Matt Birk has been the Ravens' most underrated player this year. A year ago, I felt like I couldn't go a single day without hearing or seeing some Ravens fan complaining about Birk. I got emails about how washed up he was, readers left nasty comments about him at the end of Sun stories, and he was a convenient whipping boy in every game day chat I did. Whether it was his fault or not, Birk was the person most frequently blamed by fans whenever the Ravens had problems running the ball. And this year? I've barely heard, or read, a peep about him from fans. It's as if the majority of you have forgotten all about him. That's probably some decent anecdotal evidence that he's played some pretty good football this year. Linemen tend to be doing a pretty decent job when they're drawing very little attention. I've been watching Birk closely the past six or seven games, just to confirm my suspicions, and I've come to the conclusion that he's playing damn good football. He's not getting blown back by nose tackles and he's had some nice blocks in the running game. I've even seen him get to the second level a few times and get a piece of a linebacker. If you watch a replay of Rice's 51-yard touchdown run, a run that ultimately won the game for Baltimore, you'll see it's Birk who made the block that sprung Rice into the secondary. Andre Gurode has actually been an extremely important signing this season. But it's been as a fill in for Ben Grubbs and Marshal Yanda. Speculation that Gurode was going to come in and take Birk's job away was a little unfounded, wasn't it?

Performance Anxiety: Your people are insecure—what are you going to do about it?
- Authors:
Publication Date:
April 2014
It's hard to do your best work, to be truly engaged, when you're feeling insecure. And your people do feel insecure. While we are more upbeat about keeping our jobs these days, we are anxious about actually doing the work. Because the scope of our jobs keeps shifting and expanding, we grapple with the what, where, when, how, and even why of our work. More responsibilities and less time to do them, lack of organizational and job clarity, and emerging IT challenges often leave heads spinning and throbbing. In the end, fixing the problem means fixing relationships between bosses and subordinates.

The day before he was supposed to quit fighting the North Korean communists, leave Korea and go back home to his wife, Army Sgt. Walter B. Dixon went to the front line to collect a debt.
The day before he was supposed to quit fighting the North Korean communists, leave Korea and go back home to his wife, Army Sgt. Walter B. Dixon went to the front line to collect a debt.
"I was going to go home the next day, but a guy owed me money, a lot of money," said Dixon. "It was $500, which was really a lot of money in those days. He was on the front line, so I went up to collect it."
As bad luck would have it, the communists attacked while Dixon was there.
"When I got up there we were attacked, and several guys got hit pretty hard," Dixon said.
Dixon said he gathered up several of the injured men and helped them, led them, carried them, to a depression in the ground.
"It was a bomb hole," Dixon said. "I put them there. One guy was hurt real bad. His legs were about blown off, so I put my field jacket around his legs."
Dixon went back to the line and helped fight.
"A bomb strike came in and blew them all apart," he said of the men he had tried to rescue.
And then the communists overran Dixon and the survivors and captured them.
"I was a POW from May 18, 1951, to Sept. 5, 1953," said Dixon, now 85 and seated at a table in the Pulaski County Shrine Club where he visits just about daily with good friends. "I was in the Army 38th Infantry. I was due to come home on May 19, and I got captured on the 18th. I was going to go home; instead I was captured."
And remember that field jacket that he wrapped around the legs of the wounded man? It was found later, and it led the Army to the wrong conclusion.
"They thought I was dead," he said. "I was reported killed in active duty."
He was a prisoner of the communists for more than two years. The Army thought he was dead. His wife thought she was a widow.
"I have my death certificate signed by President (Harry) Truman," he said. "My wife got remarried and had a child, thinking I was dead."
Dixon was released as part of what he said was called the "Big Switch," a major trading of prisoners of war at the end of the conflict.
"I was one of the last five to get released from our group," he said.
He also got released from the Army, although he didn't want to be.
"When I came back I was kicked out for being a private, but I was actually a sergeant," he said.
It took him several months to get the Army bureaucracy to reinstate him, but even then it was at a lower pay grade.
"I spent 25 years in the military. I've been in three wars," Dixon said.
Dixon also remarried.
"I came back home and married the woman who wrote my obituary. We've been married 58 years," he said.
His wife, Aldine M. Dixon was a Poplar Bluff newspaperwoman who later went on to edit other newspapers, including the Fort Leonard Wood paper, The Guidon.
She was working for the Poplar Bluff News at the time she wrote his obit, Dixon said.
"She's from Cape Girardeau. I'm from over by Sikeston," he said.
Dixon continued serving in the infantry until just before retirement when he was reassigned to administrative duties for health reasons.
"I retired in 1970," said Dixon, who has two Bronze Stars and seven Purple Hearts. He was at Fort Leonard Wood at the time, and he decided to stay in Pulaski County, close to the hospital and the commissary—and friends.
He spent 18 years in the insurance business and 12 years in the heavy equipment industry.
"I'm now 100 percent disabled," Dixon said. "It's hard to do nothing."
What about being a prisoner? Where did the communists take him?
"That's a long story. It starts here and goes there," he said, pointing to different parts of the table.
Well, what was it like?
"My answer to that is what minute, hour, day, week, month, year do you mean?" Dixon said. "It's difficult to explain. That's why people won't talk about it."
He will speak publicly from time to time about Army life, military serve, patriotism and his experiences. He has several speaking engagements on his November calendar, including presentations in St. James and Waynesville.
Dixon has written his memoirs, as well as essays and poetry, to help him emotionally over the course of time.
His writings will also be of interest to his family.
"I've got three children and a whole bunch of grandchildren and great-grandchildren," he said proudly.

SALEM, Mass. – The MIT women's basketball team saw four players reach double-digits in scoring as it defeated Bates College, 74-51, in the consolation game of the Salem State University Tip Off Tournament on Sunday afternoon. Freshman Maya Ramachandran (Fremont, Calif.) was named to the All-Tournament Team after compiling 15 rebounds, 11 points, seven blocks, and five assists for the Engineers (1-1).
Sophomore Mari Kordell (Ijamsville, Md.) led all scorers with 21 points to go along with four rebounds and four assists for MIT. Classmate Alexxis Isaac (San Antonio, Texas) tallied 18 points on 8-of-11 shooting and sank both of her free throws while registering eight rebounds and two steals. Junior Tamara Pena (Aliso Viejo, Calif.) notched 14 points, four assists, and four rebounds as senior Lauren Sascha Burton (Seattle, Wash.) rounded out the starters with six boards, four assists, and three steals. Freshman Sabrina Drammis (Hilton Head Island, S.C.) chipped in six points, five rebounds, one assist, and one block in 17 minutes off the bench.
As a team, the Engineers shot 51.7 percent from the floor while limiting Bates to a 29.4 percent shooting performance. In addition, MIT held a 46-34 advantage on the boards.
The Bobcats recorded the first basket of the game, but the Engineers scored nine in a row with five coming from Pena. Following its own timeout, Bates drained a three-pointer; however, this was the closest it would get as MIT's lead grew to 15 several times, the last at 34-19 with 5:45 left in the half. The Bobcats narrowed the gap to 10 on three occasions down the stretch as a pair of free throws made the score 38-28 with 1:13 to go before the intermission.
Bates carried the momentum into the second stanza as it generated a 7-1 spurt that trimmed its deficit to four after three minutes elapsed. The Engineers responded with a trey from Kordell which led to 11 unanswered points and a 50-35 advantage at the 11:21 mark. The Bobcats produced back-to-back baskets during the next minute, but MIT replied by outscoring Bates, 24-12, to close out the game.
MIT returns to the court on Tuesday, Nov. 20 for its home debut against Endicott College.

Nothing is more precious than a handmade gift. We think this little heart with a child's, or your own, thumbprint is a really special gift. It's made of a type of clay you can find at any craft store and the clay is called Sculpey. It's baked in the oven for just ten minutes to a really hard composition. Ours is painted a pretty aqua blue and then strung with a sheer organdy ribbon. A perfect gift to make for any Mom.
What You Need:
- Sculpey Clay
- Small cookie cutter or knife
- Paint and brush
- Ribbon
What to Do:
- Take a small piece of clay and work with your hands and finger until it is pliable.
- Then press it flat, or roll out to about 1/4 inch thick.
- Cut heart, or other desired shape, using a cookie cutter or cut freehand with a small, sharp knife. Make a hole at the top, center for a cord or ribbon.
- Place heart on a glass baking dish and bake in a preheated oven at 275 degrees for just 10 minutes.
- Let cool, then paint the heart and let dry thoroughly.
- Cut a length of ribbon approximately 18 inches long. Poke end of ribbon through back of heart, over the hole, using a paper clip or other similar object. Pull ribbon so both peiece are equal in length.
- Loosely loop the two sections of ribbon close to the heart, then tie ends together.

- Combine privacy and light control
- Lower from top and raise from bottom
- Versatile light control all around
- Corded styles operate with 2 cords
- Cordless styles allow pull as desired
Top down bottom up shades are most commonly used to allow natural light into the room while still maintaining privacy from the street. Position top down bottom up blinds as fully open, fully drawn, or any combination in between with the operation of independent top and bottom rails. For increased child and pet safety, choose cordless top down/bottom up to simply maneuver your shades with handles at the top and bottom. For very tall or hard to reach windows, consider standard top down bottom up lift cords instead of cordless for reachability.

A Tour of the Swiss Cottage Farmers' Market London, England
The history of London markets stretches back to Roman times, and today the city still boasts a thriving street shopping culture, with markets devoted to food, flowers, clothing, antiques, and more. In the modern era, the existence of supermarkets rendered street markets less central to daily life, but in the past decade, the city has seen a resurgence of interest in local, seasonal food and personal connection with farmers. London's first certified farmers' market – meaning all the food is grown or produced by the seller – opened in 1999, and today there are 15 markets throughout the city. Most are held on the weekend, but the Swiss Cottage farmers' market is a unique mid-week market, occurring on Wednesdays.
When we visited the Swiss Cottage farmers' market in northwest London last week, the vendors and market manager were quick to point out that it was one of the smaller farmers' markets in the city. As a weekday event, a modest atmosphere was to be expected, yet we were still impressed by the range of offerings and deep knowledge of the producers.
Despite being a vegetarian, this writer appreciated having a long conversation with the proprietor of March House Farm, which raises traditional pasture fed lamb and beef in Leicestershire. Other foods available at the market include fresh fruits and vegetables (asparagus and strawberries are the current spring highlights) as well as fish, eggs, cheese, dried fruits, pickles (including the best Iranian pickled shallot we've ever tasted), a large range of baked goods, potted plants, and prepared Indian food.
While it may not be as large or bustling as London's weekend farmers' markets, the Swiss Cottage market is a fine stop for local residents or tourists to purchase ingredients for the evening's meal or a bite for lunch, and to have the to opportunity to chat with the passionate producers of our food.
• For more information on the Swiss Cottage farmers' market and other London farmers' markets, visit London Farmers' Markets

I tried some new classes at the gym..I'm sore today.
So my sister drug me to the gym again yesterday. It was 62degrees here and I would have loved to have spent the entire day outside. However, I knew I wouldn't get as good of workout in as I did at the gym.
We went to Cardio Muscle Mix and 15 minute Abs. Let me tell you, It hurts to sneeze and sometime even take a breath today. OUCH!! I thought I had been working my abs pretty well but yesterday was a great workout and I felt awesome afterwards!!
I went to the chiropractor on Monday and he was talking about a health talk that he did recently. He said I had mentioned previously that I have tried all sorts of diets and nothing seems to be working. I told him that I go to the gym or workout almost daily up until recently and I have also changed the way I eat. However, in 12 weeks, I've only lost 8lbs. He said that's a great number and it's awesome that I'm going about it the right way and keeping things steady. I could only think one thing....I want it all to be gone!
I then told him exactly what I told Travis (my husband) the week prior. "I sit and watch Biggest Loser week after week and see these people losing huge amounts of weight. They've been working out for nine weeks and some have lost over 100lbs, it's just not fair. I've worked out for 12 weeks and lost a meesly 8lbs." Both of them said the same thing. It's unrealistic to lose that much weight in that period of time. They have a controlled diet and workout ALL DAY. It's not real life.
I think I need to keep continuing telling myself that I live in the real world where workingout for 10 hours a day isn't going to happen. I would have to quit my job and school and do nothing but workout. There is no life in that.
So for me, I'll just keep plugging away at Body Pump, Cardio Muscle Mix, 15 Minute Abs, Turbo Fire and next week, Cardio Kickboxing! It's like my brother told me yesterday, "we're going to have bad days, but that doesn't mean you can't fix it the next day. Have a bad day, not a bad week."
So....have a good weekend!

No as we keep all our products exclusive to Love Thy Light
Please burn all candles on a flat surface away from children and animals and anything flammable. Also, remember to trim your burnt wooden wick before relighting
We do Yes (signed and tracked outside the UK)
(Please bear in mind that christmas delivery times are extended due to the volume of parcels royal mail handles over this period)
This sometimes happens but very rarely in my experience.
The first thing to do is contact your local sorting office to see if the postman has tried to deliver but failed. ( please allow 7 days before approaching them but they will hold parcels for 30 days at the sorting office for you)
They don't always leave a red card unfortunately which is very naughty of them.
I would also ask neighbours and anyone else you live with if they have taken delivery for you.
If you are still unsuccessful then please contact us further so we can assist you.
That's brilliant news and i'm glad to hear your happy :)
So please leave us a review (as I myself love reading them) and it helps future potential customers too.
It helps small business like myself to grow even further, so thank you :)
Please make sure you relight your wooden wick closest to the wax and not to the top of the burnt wick and always remember to break off the burnt wick from the last burn.
You also need to burn your candle to the edge of the container it's made in, to stop your candle from flooding the wick in the future.
If you burn your candle for a short period of time you will have layers/ ridges to the edge of your candle, which will need removing before relighting to stop the wick from flooding itself with the excess wax left from the last burn.
Yes, it would, although with a cotton wick you would have a tunnelling effect (where the wax is only melting the middle of the candle) and it would end up flooding unless you removed excess wax from the edge. All candles should be burnt to the edge of the container they are made in to stop this from happening. Following our guidelines will give you a perfect burning candle every time.
We only use your personal information to contact you with regards to your order and for shipping purposes.
We do not store or keep copies of any personal information for our accounts, as this is easily accessed through Etsy if needed for legal reasons.

Beautifully scented Candle, a lovely clean fresh fragrance that's not overpowering, the scent doesn't disappear after a couple of uses which i have found with other candles. Well packaged, the seller even included some free Christmas wax melt samples and t lights. Highly recommend, and i will be back for more.
