Degrees/Certificates: Bachelor of Arts in Journalism (Concentration: Sports Journalism) at the Pennsylvania State University with a minor in Communication, Arts, and Sciences.
Current Occupation: Group Sales and Events Coordinator at the National Constitution Center
Previous Museum Experience: Group Sales Account Executive at the National Constitution Center (August 2010 – November 2014)
Other Relevant Work Experience: Groups and Season Ticket Representative at the Philadelphia Phillies (May 2007 – October 2010)
Did a mentor play a significant role in your career development? While he wasn't really a mentor, I owe everything to where I am to my boss at the Philadelphia Phillies, Phil Feather. He took a huge risk on me and I'm eternally grateful. My position at the Phillies was only meant to be a summer experience and turned into 3.5 amazing years, all because of him. I have no idea where I would be if he didn't take that chance on me.
As for in the museum world, I look up to and respect my colleague (and fellow EMPer) Beth Van Why (Meet Beth HERE). There is a running joke amongst a lot of us that, "We want to be like Beth when we grow up" and it's so true! She is amazing to work with, helpful, and wants to work with everyone she can and truly cares about our growth. We would be lost without her!
How does your current position fit into your career plan? My current position allows me to add a new skill set, which is event management and logistics, while enhancing my experience in sales. It allows me to expand my project management skills, while building managerial and staffing experience as well.
What museum organizations do you belong to? Philly EMP
What do you know now that you wish you knew when you began in this profession? It's not so much that I wish I knew it before I began this professional, but I was blown away by how much of a tight knit community the museum world was. I came into the NCC blind regarding the museum world. I love that most people know each other and how so many are willing to collaborate with one another! Can't say that about a lot of professions.
What do you enjoy most about your position? I love that there is always something 'new' to do. There is always a new school group to work with, always a new Town Hall program to help run and organize. It keeps me on my toes and fresh and allows me to engaged with visitors and clients on a daily basis!
What is it that keeps you engaged at work? Very similar to what I like best about my job, it's the fact that there is never a dull moment and always a new project. When you are doing the same thing over and over, sometimes it can be hard to continue to stay excited. I never have to worry about that because there is always a new sale, project, or event to plan!
Ali graduated college with a Bachelors of Arts in Journalism. Ali always thought she wanted to work PR for a sports team. Ali was offered a job at the Phillies out of college in sales. Ali just wanted to get into the door. When it was time to move on career wise, Ali found that she was good at this profession that she fell into so she kept her career in that direction. That lead Ali to the NCC as a Group Sales Account Executive. As she took on more roles here, Ali found that she was most passionate about her job when she was working and running events such as the NCC's Town Hall programs. It allowed her to engage with visitors on a completely new level. Ali started to focus more on that as a career and that lead her to her current position as Group Sales and Events Coordinator. Ali's favorite museums outside of Philadelphia include the American Museum of Natural History in New York City and the National Baseball Hall Of Fame and Museum in Cooperstown.
Fun Fact: While working at the Phillies from 2007 – 2010, Ali was privy to a lot of perks! She was at every single home playoff game in that span and has a 2009 NLCS Championship ring to show for it! Phillies fans may also notice, going by Ali's tenure, that the team also hasn't been the same since she left. Coincidence? Sorry Philadelphia!

On September 27, 2010, President Obama signed into law the Small Business Jobs Act. Among other things, this act extends bonus depreciation to 2010 business purchases. Bonus depreciation is also allowed for 2008 and 2009.
Child care providers and other business owners who buy items in 2010 may be eligible for a special 50% depreciation allowance. This allowance allows providers to deduct 50% of the business portion of the item in 2009 and depreciate the remaining 50%, thus creating a much higher business deduction this year.
Property that is eligible for this special allowance includes: computers, office equipment, furniture, appliances, play equipment, fences, driveways, and a car. The purchase of home improvements or a home does not qualify. The item must be purchased new in calendar year 2010 and used in your business this year. The purchase of a used item does not qualify.
If you are planning to purchase an eligible item this year, this new 50% depreciation allowance will help you reduce your taxes in 2010. However, it is never a good idea to purchase something just because you can get a significant tax deduction. The amount of the tax deduction you will get by purchasing something will never be equal to the cost of the item to you.
This information was originally provided by Tom Copeland in the October 2008 Newslink newsletter from Resources for Child Caring, which provides some examples of how this special allowance works.

The idea of crowd funding receives a great deal of press exposure and the constant media attention would lead some to believe that it's the perfect solution for a company's funding needs. As an added bonus, crowd funding campaigns, if executed successfully, can help a company create awareness for its product or service. While the potential benefits are strong, there are also some risks.
The truth is that crowd funding is not for everyone. There are definite risks associated with a crowd funding campaign. Before initiating a campaign, a company should work with its stakeholders and customers to talk to them about the pros and cons of crowd funding.
We recently completed a crowd funding campaign where we were not able to meet our fundraising goal. When we surveyed our audience, asking for feedback, the results were surprising. Many thought our effort was "sketchy". They were turned off by the idea of crowd funding. Many asked why crowd funding would be necessary. The idea itself was viewed as a last ditch effort for desperate companies. In other words, it doesn't convey a sense of strength.
The truth is that some companies aren't a good fit for crowd funding. Make sure you're aware of the potential risks and understand the long-term effect it can have on your brand.

Hello everyone. I hope this note finds you all happy, healthy, and enjoying the last days of summer. Our school supply shopping is nearly done and I am looking forward to settling into the daily routine that comes with the new school year. When I was a kid I would get so excited when the school ads would come on ... I couldn't wait to get back into the classroom! Although they would never admit it, I think my young ones are pretty excited too.
I love the simple elegance that this card brings. Blushing Bride, Whisper White, and Regal Rose - such a pretty combination. The gorgeous flower is from our Fifth Avenue Floral set ... beautiful. The lined paper is from our Newsprint Designer Series Paper collection.
My numbers are an older set - I would suggest Calendar Alphabet & Numbers as a substitution. The chipboard is painted pink then covered with chunky pink glitter. I dyed my own seam binding and then added a "dreamy" little tag using our Jewelry Tag punch. You'll find I use that punch everywhere!
Thanks so much for stopping by today. Enjoy the rest of your day!

By Renee Fitzgerald
I was fortunate to host a panel discussion at the USD Governance Symposium last week with three incredible panelists:
- Jay Hill, CEO, Library Foundation ($185 million capital campaign)
- Dr. Tim O'Malley, VP External Relationship ($300 million capital campaign)
- Don Stump, CEO, North County Lifeline (launching a campaign)
My panel of experts agreed that two of the key attributes of a good campaign volunteer leader are:
- Being passionate about the organization and the campaign
- A healthy fear of failing (which will lead them to making the campaign a success)
I asked the panel to share ho they effectively engage volunteers to fundraise and reach out to their networks to ask for donations:
- Model it: Partner up a staff member with a volunteer leader for a solicitation. It allows the volunteer leader to be part of a successful ask and encourage them to conduct one on their own
- Create a social gathering for volunteers to invite their friends to come learn about the organization or campaign
- Utilize a draw to get people to an event. Jay invited the Mayor or Padres players to attend donor events
- At committee or board meetings, have board members pull out their phones to scroll through their contacts to brainstorm ideas of people to cultivate for the campaign/organization
To coach and encourage volunteer leaders, illustrate what is working and what is not. Tim suggests having volunteers share stories of their successes and failures. It will help other volunteers think: "it's okay", "that's a good idea" or "I can do that." He also suggests role playing solicitations at committee meetings to train volunteers how to have successful conversations with donors.
Continue to build up your pipeline of volunteer leaders. During a campaign, your volunteer leaders will cycle in and out. This is not a bad thing. You will continually need fresh ideas and energy. Don suggests that you treat volunteers like family by hosting annual get-togethers like a family picnic or spaghetti dinner.
Remember to thank and recognize your volunteer leaders throughout the campaign. Here are a few ideas for volunteer leadership stewardship from our panel:
- When the board has 100% giving participation for the campaign, host a party to celebrate this accomplishment.
- List their names on a plaque and display it publicly to thank them
- Have donors sign a beam that goes into the building
- Host a hard hat lunch in the half-constructed building
Keep up the moral through the whole campaign. To do, the panelist suggest:
- Celebrate your successes! There is a burst of excitement every time a gift comes in and it serves as encouragement to go after the next donation.
- Report the data to show progress – know that some areas to the campaign will see more success than others.
- Bring in inspirational speakers to encourage your volunteer leaders. Ideas: volunteer leaders who have successfully finished a campaign; the individuals that the project the campaign will fund will positively impact them.
Above all, Jay says: "Never Give Up!"

Four Parts of a Folding Screen
Based on documents found in Berlin archives, 'Four Parts of a Folding Screen' explores exclusion, statelessness and the legalised theft and sale of everyday family possessions by the National Socialist regime. A voice, enigmatic and sometimes uncertain, foretells of, relates and recalls the routine processes of injustice and their legacy: the creation of a diaspora of household objects, scattered amongst buildings that no longer exist. As the camera probes the secrets of ordinary spaces, streets and buildings around the city of Berlin, semblances of a person and a history begin to emerge and coalesce.

2018 Mitsubishi Eclipse
Over years existing as one eminent auto manufacturer in the world, the new lines of Mitsubishi vehicle are always awaited. To retain its potential presence, the company is just a step closer to launch the next generation of Eclipse to the auto global. Having quite enormous base fans in any areas will be a good route to increase the selling results and gain the public attentions. The upcoming Eclipse will arrive as 2018 year version supposing there will be modern changes on the styling and improvement on the drivetrain. It is not adequate anyway to get the buyers' interest without the availability of new high-tech features and premium materials. We are all expecting the coming of 2018 Mitsubishi Eclipse could deal all with.
News reported the outer styling of sports car will be built up in more aerodynamic structures. Redesigning the front part and rear fascia has given the new striking outlook on the intact car body. In the front end, some changes on the hood, new grille and LED-based headlights could be noticed. Moving to other parts, we will see the better bumper, coupe roofline, twin exhaust system, and LED taillights also get an enhancement. To help improving the performance and fuel economy, the make use of lightweight aluminum material becomes the best option.
Talking about the interior, the 2018 Mitsubishi Eclipse will offer a more spacious room inside. The noticeable upgrades on the car seats will provide the best comfort and security for the driver and passengers. The details on the technological components on the infotainment and safety systems might be still unobvious. However, we are definitely convincing as the auto designer will provide the best on it.
In terms of performance, there are some engine options going to offer. The current SOHC 16 of a 2.4 liter 4-cylinder engine might be again injected. The drivetrain could produce the output of 158 HP and 162 lb-ft of torque. Other engine option comes from the 8m V6 MIVEC with the power of 265 horsepower and 262 pound-feet of torque. To boast the speed, configuring a 6-speed and 2 clutches programmed transmission could noticeably give the better acceleration for the 2018 Mitsubishi Eclipse. The fuel consumption is noted at 15 MPG on the road and 24 MPG on the highway.
2018 Mitsubishi Eclipse Release Date and Price
The new 2018 Mitsubishi Eclipse might be ready to hit the dealerships in the mid of 2017 or the end of 2016. Based on the recent speculation, the beginning price of the sports car ranges from $22,000 to $30,000. Any given information might change at any time depending on the follow up updates.

With the way the digital world is unfolding as the years go by learning how to get into website creation is something that is smart to do. If you think that website creation is a subject that you want to get into then go ahead and read through this article to learn how.
Make sure your site passes the NoScript test. Download and activate the NoScript extension for Firefox and see if your site is still readable. Some content, such as ordering systems for products, can't work without scripts, but if your site is simply blank with scripts turned off, that's bad news.
It's not the 90's anymore, so stay away from using frames. Frames were of great use in the early days of web page design but it had a lot of flaws. Frame designs make it harder for readers to bookmark your site and scrolling becomes a chore. There are much easier ways to provide your users a flow through your website.
Never use pop-ups. One of the worst things a user must deal with is getting one pop-up after another when visiting a website. This often causes people to leave a site, meaning they never take the time to get to know your product. Your customers will be much happier if you give these types of advertisement a wide swerve. If your web hosting company requires the use of pop-ups, consider moving to a new host.
Wherever your logo appears on your site, you should accompany it with a complementary slogan or tagline. Ideally, this tagline should be catchy and informative, and should offer some basic summary of the purpose of your site or product offering. The combination of your logo and tagline should appear on every page to create a sense of cohesion.
When designing your website, you should avoid using too many different types of fonts. You must also consider how different fonts appear on the standard computer screen; smaller serif fonts (Times New Roman, for example) are somewhat hard to read. Most sites use Vedrana, which is easily read in different colors and sizes.
A great "About Us" page will help your readers understand who you are and what you do. There are a lot of websites that do not utilize compelling or original content for their "About Us" webpages. Try spicing things up! Try giving people a tiny peek into your personal background. Try showing how you got into website creation, who inspired you, and what you hope to accomplish with your business.
If the design of your website needs to be mobile friendly, keep in mind that mobile devices have smaller screens and limited bandwidth. To account for smaller screens, you should try to design your website as a single narrow column so that the user only needs to navigate vertically, as opposed to both horizontally and vertically. Limited bandwidth means that you should be extra concerned about your file sizes. You can also opt to create a separate version of your website specifically for mobile devices.
If you always apply yourself in a subject like website development then you should have no problem succeeding, take this into consideration. Some of the information you learned might seem a bit confusing now but keep in mind that as you come along with website design you should start to feel a little less confused and a bit more confident so always be on the lookout for new information to add to your arsenal.

Tuesday, March 1, 2016 ~ Babysat the girls after work. It started freezing rain when I left home. Win went to roller derby but thankfully came home early because of the weather. I drove home slowly and it wasn't too bad.
Wednesday, March 2, 2016 ~ Hubby and I went to Euchre at the church. There were 20 people so no one had to sit out. It was fun!
Thursday, March 3 ~ I went for groceries but when I arrived at the store and went to put the quarter in the cart, I realized I had forgotten my wallet! Ugh! I had to drive all the way home to get it and back again. I got groceries and then went to the rental and measured for a dining table that Win is thinking of buying, then got stamps at Shoppers and home.
Friday, March 4 ~. I called Min from work to wish her a Happy Birthday. I have pretty much moved into my office and out of the pod. I feel so much less stressed being in the office. I don't have to keep moving back and forth and the members love seeing me there. So many pop their heads in to say hello.
Saturday, March 5 ~ I went in to work so missed the auction at the church. It didn't look that good anyway. #2 Son has gone up north with his friend for the weekend. After work, I went to Mark's Wearhouse and got 2 tops on sale, had supper, then went for a skate at the arena for half an hour, drove home, got a coffee and then went to the other arena to watch Win's Roller Derby bout which started at 8. Nobody I knew was there so I watched the first period which was over an hour long and then decided to go home a I was tired and the benches are hard on the bum.

FULANI - Personal Visit
A Fallen Soldier
Fulani of Burkina Faso
Daniel Diallo was a Fulani, and as a youth he invited Jesus Christ to be his personal Savior. He became a soldier of the Cross, actively sharing his faith with others. His heart was burdened for the salvation of his family and the Fulani people.
A Muslim chief had invited an American missionary to settle among the Fulani at Djibo, a town in northern Burkina Faso. The missionary asked Daniel to partner with him in establishing a church there. Daniel gladly accepted the offer and moved with the missionary family to the large trading center, ideally located for evangelism.
Together, Daniel and the missionary began making a clear presentation of the gospel. The local people called their message "The Jesus Way." The missionary team preached again and again without one person responding. Still, they continued sowing the seed of the gospel as they prayed for a harvest.
God answered their prayers, and people began coming to the Lord. Daniel served as their pastor and rented a 4-by 5-meter room for a church. Soon 50 new believers filled the room, prompting the need to construct a building. Church leaders set the date for the new advance.
Daniel's own family members were greatly disturbed over his decision to leave Islam and follow Christ. The day before the building project was set to launch, they murdered him. He died a martyr's death because of his faith in Jesus Christ. The believers were saddened at the loss of their friend and leader, one who seemed to be the key to opening the door to the Fulani people. But they were to learn that "God's ways are higher than our ways."
Daniel's death delayed the construction of the church building, but it did not stop the kingdom of God from forcefully advancing among the Fulani. Daniel did not die in vain when he shed his blood for a people he loved. His supreme sacrifice was a turning point in reaching the Fulani with the gospel. Many began accepting Christ as their Savior, the church building was erected and a Bible school established.
A fallen soldier of the Cross was the seed God used to produce a vibrant church!
Introduction / History
The Fulani are a vast people group that emigrated from North Africa or the Middle East to West and Central Africa many centuries ago. They are primarily nomadic herdsmen who travel with their herds from place to place in search of better grazing land.
The Fulani are lighter- skinned, have straighter hair and noses, and have thinner lips than other African groups, suggesting a Caucasian origin. They are a dignified people who take great pride in distinguishing themselves from non-Fulani people.
Today, the Fulani are grouped and named according to their location, occupation, and language dialect. The Gurma Fulani are those Fulani living in the Gourma region of southeastern Burkina Faso. They are Fulbe-Laddi (semi-nomadic herdsmen), mixing herding with agriculture. They speak Fulfulde Gourmantche, a language from the West-Atlantic branch of the Niger-Congo language family.
What are their lives like?
The livelihood of the Gurma Fulani is dependent on the seasons. The wet season is a time of cultivation and harvesting, with the herds and the family living together in a permanent settlement. During the dry season, the herds are taken to marshland or flood plains for more water and better grazing land.
The wuro (village) is the center of Gurma Fulani society. Here, the women do most of their work. Their main task is the preparation of the evening meal, a millet porridge, which can take four or five hours to make. They also gather twigs and grass for the construction of their homes. Milking the cattle and preparing butter are other important chores. As they work, the women tend to their children, often with their babies carried on their backs.
Making clothes is a way a man can express himself and show his individuality and personality. Also, a man has an obligation to dress his family. Thus, a man will make his own clothes and buy cloth and handkerchiefs for his wives. Children do not wear many clothes until they are able to sew for themselves.
Men who have sons that are at least fifteen years old must pass their work on to them to maintain a separation of the generations. The fathers act as supervisors to their sons, directing them in digging wells or watering the herds. They also handle any disputes that may arise.
Young boys spend much of their time playing in the bush, chasing birds from the fields, or keeping the herds from getting in the fields. Young girls help their mothers with their chores.
The Fulani feel that if you are able to have someone work for you, then you are of a higher social status. Consequently, they are not known as hard workers. Although the temperature of this region is more bearable during the rainy season, they prefer to work during the dry season. The dry season task of watering the herd is easier than the rainy season task of cultivating the fields.
What are their beliefs?
The Gurma Fulani believe that it is a sign of weakness to be controlled by fear; therefore, they seldom show fear in public. They believe that mental illness is caused by being so terrified that you lose control of yourself.
They think of the village as a place of rules and obligations-a place for socially acceptable behavior. The bush, on the other hand, is a place of freedom, where they can act according to their own needs.
The Gurma Fulani hate to feel alone. They overcome the feeling of solitude by talking with others. However, this need for company is concealed in public, as the Fulani tend to hide their feelings. They are only free to express their love for others through songs.
What are their needs?
The Gurma Fulani are overwhelmingly Muslim. Only a very small number have become Christian. Much prayer and intercession are still needed if the Gurma Fulani are to know that they will never be alone with Jesus.
Prayer Points
- Ask the Holy Spirit to grant wisdom and favor to missions agencies focusing on the Gurma Fulani.
- Pray for the effective use of the Jesus film among the Fulani.
- Ask God to anoint the Gospel as it goes forth via radio in their area.
- Pray that God will reveal Himself to the Gurma Fulani through dreams and visions.
- Ask God to raise up prayer teams who will begin breaking up the soil through worship and intercession.
- Ask the Lord to soften the hearts of the Gurma Fulani so that they will be receptive to the Gospel.
- Pray for strong local churches to be planted among the Gurma Fulani.
- Pray for completion of Bible translation in this people group's primary language.

James Henry Breasted
James Henry Breasted (August 27, 1865–December 2, 1935) was born in Rockford, Illinois and was an archaeologist and historian. He was educated at North Central College (then North-Western College) (1888), the Chicago Theological Seminary, Yale University (MA 1891) and the University of Berlin (PhD 1894). He was the first American citizen to obtain a PhD in Egyptology. Breasted was in the forefront of the generation of archeologist-historians who broadened the idea of Western Civilization to include the entire Near East in Europe's cultural roots. Breasted coined the term Fertile Crescent to describe the area from Egypt to Mesopotamia.
He became an instructor at the University of Chicago in 1894 and was appointed Professor of Egyptology and Oriental History at in 1905 (the first such chair in the United States). In 1901, he was appointed director of the Haskell Oriental Museum, forerunner of the Oriental Institute, which had opened at the University of Chicago in 1896. Though the Haskell Oriental Museum contained works of art from both the Near East and the Far East, his principal interest was in Egypt; he began to work on a compilation of all the extant hieroglyphic inscriptions, which was published in 1906 as Ancient Records of Egypt, which remains an important collection of translated texts; as Peter A. Piccione wrote in the preface to its 2001 reprint, it "still contains certain texts and inscriptions that have not been retranslated since that time."
In 1919, funding was obtained from John D. Rockefeller for the Oriental Institute of Chicago, under whose auspices Breasted headed the University's first archaeological survey of Egypt. In 1923 he was elected a member of the National Academy of Sciences. He died in 1935 from pneumonia, while returning from a trip to Egypt. He is buried in Greenwood cemetery, Rockford, Illinois. His grave site is marked with a large marble obelisk, which was a gift from the Egyptian government.

By Ron Giofu
Four-year-old Addy Weith may live in Hudsonville, Michigan but she has plenty of support in Amherstburg.
Addy is suffering from mitochondrial disease, also known as Leigh Syndrome. It is a severe neurological disorder characterized by progressive loss of mental and movement abilities. The disease typically results in death in two to three years after diagnosis due to respiratory failure.
Addy's mother Lisa is an Amherstburg native with her grandmother Mickey DiNunzio and great-aunt Heather Amlin organizing local efforts to try and help the Weith family, which also consists of Lisa's husband Eric and Addy's twin sister Norah.
DiNunzio said her daughter noticed about two years ago that Addy was "not developing as fast as the other twin" and that led to medical visits to see what was wrong. Two spots were discovered on Addy's brain and the diagnosis came shortly after.
A fundraiser is planned in Hudsonville Aug. 5 from 4-7 p.m. but efforts are being made in Amherstburg to send a group of "Addy's Angels" to the fundraiser. A local event is being planned for June 10 at the Columbus Community Hall on Richmond St. to help pay for the bus that family members in Amherstburg will use to take to the fundraiser.
The Amherstburg event will run from 12-4 p.m. with information on bus tickets available as well as door prizes, silent auction items and food being on hand. The local event is being dubbed as a fundraiser for "Addy's Mitochondrial Journey Bus" and tickets are $20.
"We're trying to do something locally in Amherstburg," said DiNunzio.
"We're getting the Canadians and Americans there as one big family," added Amlin.
DiNunzio said they don't know how much time Addy has left but Amlin pointed out that palliative care has been suggested for when the time comes. Amlin added the fundraiser in Hudsonville is a way to create positive memories for Addy and her family.
A package is being distributed locally describing the fundraisers and why they are being held. A letter from the family inside the package describes Addy as a brave fighter who loves books, blocks, baby dolls and "anything that involves getting messy."
"She runs, jumps and plays with her twin sister Norah. She loves pre-school. She is always excited to go, even when she is too sick to attend," the letter states. "She loves Daniel Tiger and Pete the Cats."
The letter further states that "Addy's most recent MRI shows her disease is progressing. We have known it was a possibility but we have prayed it would not be true."
Amlin and DiNunzio compare Addy's condition to that of a cell phone battery. While Addy will have tremendous energy for a few days, she can quickly find her energy and strength depleted shortly thereafter.
The disease could shut down Addy's muscles so the family is also looking at such things as wheelchairs and ramps.
"You don't know what part of the body it's going to go after," she said.
For more information, e-mail firstname.lastname@example.com or email@example.com. People can also call Amlin at 519-713-9293.

|My Favorite Recipe Book
This tired old worn book has seen better days. It needs duck tape but I'll have none of that dull gray duck tape for this book. No-sir-ee. It needs a special color, probably red or yellow, to coordinate with the flowers on the front. This book is one of my prized possessions and I'll tell you why.
I purchased this blank page book years, years, and years ago for the purpose of keeping recipes of exceptional tasty food that was served by family and friends in their homes. These recipes tie me to my friendships and family as much as the recipe itself. Handing down recipes from friend to friend and family to family says I enjoyed being a guest at your table. I loved what you served and I cherish the time you took to make something special for me. Memories of a joyful special time. Being invited for dinner for a home-cooked meal is the ultimate compliment.
I grew up in the 1950's and 1960's and my family did not eat out. There was no need. Our table always had ample delicious food. My goodness, Dog N' Suds was the only restaurant I knew about until I was in high school. Our "restaurant" was grandma's house, my aunt and uncle's house, and neighbors. And, it was always pot luck which was the best tasting dish of the lady who brought it.
I'll share just a few recipes today that will come in handy when you expect company or if you need something for a dish-to-pass. I'll add more later. Don't expect organic, fat-free, low-calorie, recipes in my collection. I want the "real thing" even if it means a small portion. You know, it isn't all about the food.
Coconut Cheese Ball3-8 ounce packages of cream cheese
1/2 small jar Major Gray's Chutney (about 4 ounces)
1/2 cup chopped nuts
1-1/2 teaspoon curry powder
Coconut, shredded
Blend softened cream cheese with other ingredients except coconut. Shape into a ball. Roll in coconut. Serve with salty crackers like Trisket crackers.
HINT: This makes a generous recipe. I usually make several smaller balls, enough for an appetizer at a party. They defrost fine. Nice to have on hand for unexpected company or card club.

1 head of Bok Choy, chopped
1 red or yellow pepper, chopped
1 bunch of green onion, chopped

4 Tablespoons Soy Sauce
Melt butter in pan and toast noodles and almonds. Color should be light brown. Set aside to cool.
Mix salad ingredients. Sprinkle Ramen Noodle flavor package into salad. Toss.
Sprinkle crunchy noodle and nut mixture.
Add dressing. Toss. Serve immediately or noodles will get soggy.
NOTE: This is always a big hit. Very tasty.

1 cup mayonnaise
Mix. Pour into small oven-ready baking dish. Bake at 350 degrees for about 25 minutes. Should be bubbly. Serve hot with crackers. Triskets work well.

LONDON (CBS.MW) -- Morgan Stanley said U.S. beef prices may fall 20 percent to 30 percent. "Beef prices continue to fall as (the) export market collapses for U.S. beef," the broker said. "Given recent price strength and loss of exports (9 percent of U.S. beef demand), we believe beef prices may fall 20-30 percent. This should remove the concerns over higher food costs for restaurant operators in 2004." The broker noted that the mad cow case "has not had an impact" on McDonald's MCD, +1.29% and Wendys WEN, +0.51% sales to date. "We continue to believe that consumer reaction is more important to restaurant stocks than risk assessments by the government. So far consumer reaction has been muted."

Another month has flown by! It goes even faster when you spend a good chunk of it out of town. Totally worth it though!
Here are my goals for July:
1. Top of the list is to quilt and bind the first sister quilt. DONE and delivered!
2. Since little Lincoln is here, I am going to make a label for his baby quilt. I made this last fall out of shirts worn by my son, my hubby, and my dad. DONE and delivered!
3. I would also like to get the 16 patch quilt finished for the guest room. DONE!
4. I would like to decide on a pattern for the second sister quilt. Not done. Not even an idea as of yet.
5. I would like to make a small quilt out of my leader ender HSTs. DONE!
6. I want to decide on my next leader/ender project. Not done. I am not sure why it is so hard to decide on something this simple! I am guessing it is because I want to come up with a bigger project this time.
Now, what else did I accomplish?
I finished this second quilt for Lincoln.
And I started two new projects, my EPP project:
And my scrappy lattice blocks:
Time to plan for August.
1. I want to finish my scrappy lattice blocks and perhaps get them into a finished top.
2. Since my little Liam liked brother's quilt so well, I plan to make him a quick quilt with a soft backing.
3. I am again going to try to come up with a plan for Sister Quilt #2.
4. Still want to come up with a good leader/ender project.
I feel like I haven't had enough time in the sewing room lately to even decide what I truly want to work on next so these goals don't seem like much to me. I hope to remedy that in the next week. But hubby came home from his business trip last night so it won't happen today! Have a great weekend!

The past few weeks have been very exciting times for Kenya as a country. It's like all aspects of life have been tested in one way or the other but greatest of them all- is the democratic right best depicted by the political landscape of the country.
A few weeks ago, in his final public function as the president of this great country- President Mwai Kibaki described Kenya as ready for take-off. Whoever was to come in though, was to steer the plane to the next level; something each of us hope will be achieved by whoever comes in.
Kenyans went to the polls early last week to vote who their leaders for the next five years would be. I can't say it's been smooth sailing; credit to the winners and losers though- the people decided.
So in as much as the people decided, it should also be noted that lots of people were left with a bitter taste in their mouths. Some people outside this country must begin to think Kenyans are so happy with the polls and very peaceful- but let's not lie to ourselves and the world; silence doesn't necessarily mean peace. Bitterness too is cultivated in our silence.
But now- turning back the hands of time is of cause impossible. The future holds so much that nothing should come between us and the other side of the sea. Some of us might at this moment feel less Kenyan compared to the others and the greatest job of the incoming government I feel- is to make and help every Kenyan realise their identity as citizens of this country and not second class or third should it exist.
There are so many ways the government can help do that. There are so many ways you as a Kenyan citizen can help your neighbour feel that. Can football though as a sport help realise the Kenyan identity dream too? I think so…..
You may be tempted to say it's only sport, only football. But you can learn a lot about a society through football. What we watch neighbouring countries go through during the AFCON and the World Cup, what we ourselves went through during the 2004 Africa Cup of Nations were significant striking social events- not just for sport but a celebration of patriotism.
Commentators all over the world call football matches 'celebrations'; this may be a cliché but it does contain a good deal of truth. In television broadcasts of matches, you'll always notice carnival elements on display: fans' faces painted in national/teams colours, carnival clothing, and behaviour that would be impossible under normal circumstances. Victory becomes proof of the value of the nation, the flag and the national identity. There are traditional models of behaviour- ways of reacting to both triumphs and defeats.
Our society is now divided; we don't know how to react to different events. The excuse is always- it's a learning process, never again blah blah blah. Above all, we don't know how to show patriotism, our love for our country, even when an occasion arises that is meant to bring us together.
In recent years though; a few people though have started to feel an urgent need for a national idea round which we can rally. To some extent xenophobia has fulfilled this role perfectly: the idea of us being 'good' and them, i.e. those who are not 'us', being 'bad'. We've ended up scouring our 'great history' for a national patriotic idea to gather round. But we haven't even been able to find any historical figures to unite us.
Look around today- the politicians of this earth. For every single thing they have done, for every deed they are held accountable for; they may be geniuses for some, but for others living villains, good for nothing beings who deserve an everlasting scorch at the eternal fire of hell.
Searching for national identity
Lots of Kenyans have done this great country proud; some noticed, others unnoticed. But thanks to these sporting victories people feel that they belonged to a great, victorious power. Watching these sportsmen on television is therapeutic. It heals social complexes – Kenya is strong, we are strong, we are winning. 'We can do it!' …. Notice the word 'WE'
So why did I say football?
Probably in every single village across this country; a group of kids come together every afternoon/late evening to enjoy a game of football. Mind not the attire, race, culture, sex- one thing is always on their minds, enjoying the game and having a moment of their lives.
Away from the villages to the large buzzing cities; if it's not on TV- beautiful people on the stadium stands will blow you away. Whether it's for the love of the game or not, everybody seems to be happy. The hope that tomorrow holds something special is always a spectacle whereas the glee of today's win is fast killed/fuelled further by the result of another match.
It's a game of chances they say- on the other hand just like football; patriotism too is a chance. A chance to show your love for your country, no matter what may seem to divide us, the power to overcome the obstacles of politics, tribes is our greatest victory.
Every one of us should therefore know that each day is an opportunity to make our country proud. A federation needs to do its work perfectly to help promote the game, the coaches and the players need to do their work perfectly to bring pride to their side and the fans too; it's a chance to show loyalty- they need it.
With all the above factors coming together, victory might not always be guaranteed but the togetherness of a country will be achieved. It's not how many times we celebrate as a team that counts- it's how many times even in defeat we remain together. It's never us against them; it's us against our very best.
Of course football will not solve all our problems and among people, but for a day, or at least 90 minutes it should bring us closer.
Can we therefore, every match day take it upon ourselves to spread some love. It's the best way to honour sport, to appreciate one another and above all- help realize the Kenyan dream.
''In the German football team players from different clubs need to get on with each other both on and off the pitch. In the grand coalition Christian Democrats and Social Democrats sit in the same boat and need to pull in the same direction.'' Angela Merkel

Consett, Co. Durham
Town of Consett, Co. Durham
Consett is a town in the north-west of County Durham, England, and is the administrative capital of the district of Derwentside.
View Larger Map
Consett is a town of 27,000 people, high on the edge of the Pennines in north-east Durham.
The town of Consett is perched on the steep eastern bank of the River Derwent and owes its origins to industrial development arising from lead mining in the area, together with the development of the steel industry in the Derwent Valley during the seventeenth century.
The Consett Iron Company was established in 1840. Over the next 100 years, the town became one of the world's leading steel-making towns, and for decades the name Consett was synonymous with iron and steel. Consett was the town that made the steel for Blackpool Tower and Britain's most famous nuclear submarines. The Derwent Reservoir is located just west of the town.

Tripwire Study 81 Percent of Security Pros Say Skills Required for Cybersecurity Have Changed
Tripwire's latest study reveals skilled security staff are already harder to find
PORTLAND, Ore.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Tripwire, Inc., a leading global provider of security and compliance solutions for enterprises and industrial organizations, today announced the results of a study conducted in July by Dimensional Research that examined how organizations are addressing the cybersecurity skills gap. Study respondents included 315 IT security professionals at U.S.-based companies with more than 100 employees.
According to Tripwire's study, 93 percent of security professionals are concerned about the cybersecurity skills gap, and 72 percent believe it is more difficult to hire skilled security staff to defend against today's complex cyberattacks compared to two years ago. Significantly, 81 percent believe that the skills required to be a great security professional have changed in the past few years.
Twenty percent of respondents said their organizations had hired people with expertise not specific to security over the past two years, and another 17 percent stated they plan to do the same in the next two years. Additionally, Tripwire's study found that 50 percent plan to invest more heavily in training their existing staff to help with the looming skills shortage.
"It's evident that security teams are evolving and maturing with the rest of the cybersecurity industry, but the pool of skilled staff and training simply aren't keeping up," said Tim Erlin, vice president of product management and strategy at Tripwire. "For example, beyond their technical duties, security practitioners may now be expected to spend more time in boardrooms or in the CFO's office to secure more budget. While the makeup of the cybersecurity workforce may be changing, the fundamentals of protecting an organization have not. It will be critical during this transition to ensure there's a long-term strategy in place around maintaining their foundational security controls."
Tripwire's study also looked at how organizations expect to tackle the skills gap in the future and found the following:
- Ninety-one percent plan to supplement their team by outsourcing for skills.
- Eighty-eight percent believe managed services would add value to solving the skills gap problem.
- Ninety-eight percent expect other functions like non-security teams to be more involved in cybersecurity moving forward.
- Ninety-six percent believe that automation will play a role in solving the skills gap in the future.
Erlin added: "The skills gap doesn't have to be an operational gap. Security teams shouldn't overburden themselves by trying to do everything on their own. They can partner with trusted vendors for managed services or subscribe to service plans where outside experts can act as an extension of the team. Organizations should also understand that security is a shared responsibility across different functions, so people from other parts of the business should be involved in the cybersecurity program. And, of course, automation can add value not only in reducing manual work, but also in ensuring that everything is up-to-date and working as it should in real time. Security teams may just need to work more creatively."

A coordinate-free approach to instantaneous kinematics of two rigid objects with rolling contact and its implications for trajectory planning
Access Status
MetadataShow full item record
This paper adopts a coordinate-free approach to investigate the kinematics of rigid bodies with rolling contact. A new equation of angular velocity of the moving body is derived in terms of the magnitude of rolling velocity and two sets of geometric invariants belonging to the respective contact curves. This new formulation can be differentiated up to any order. Furthermore, qualitative information about trajectory planning can be deduced from this equation if the characteristics of rolling objects and the motion are taken into consideration.

As eager as you may be to get your online business up and running, it's crucial to take the time to learn all about Online marketing. You may find one or more effective tips to use in the article below.
Create a FAQ page to advertise products. Think of the common questions or problems you see often, and provide helpful solutions that utilize your products or services. Be careful when crafting your answers, as you want to mention the products you sell without it looking obvious that is is an advertisement.
Make sure to have your signature, which includes a link for your site, at the bottom of everything that you write online. If you use a forum then you should put your link in the signature area. You should always post a link within your signature block of all the emails you send out. This is a nearly subliminal way to advertise your website to the people you come across on the Internet. It could boost your search rankings as well. Create an enticing line that encourages readers to click and put it near the link.
Customers will be much more interested in clicking on your banner if you create something enticing that doesn't look exactly like the other boring banners out there. Make sure the banner links directly to your product or service page correctly. Use matching text from the articles and put it at the start and finish. You should create something that won't look like an advertisement.
Keeping an eye on your competition is an important part of online marketing. Competition is a constant issue, regardless of niche.
Knowing what your competitors are up to is a vital part of internet marketing. Every business has its competitors, and you need to be aware of yours.
When you take time and learn the fundamentals of web designing you will succeed. Find things out online about HTML or CSS to know what you need to do. You should set aside a specified time each day for at least a month to learning the basics to webpage creation.
If you really want to increase the traffic to your site, make sure that you're advertising your site on other popular websites. It might cost you a little money and some time, but it's an investment that will pay off in a huge way. Ensure that the page you use has considerable traffic.
You may not realize it, but you already have the tools you need for a successful web marketing enterprise. You do not need fancy software or any other get rich quick medium; all you need is yourself. Give all marketing decisions proper and due consideration before moving forward with them.
Use AJAX and Flash sparingly. These things look great, but they can slow your site down, and they do nothing to help your rankings. If Flash is a must for your site, use it with some level of caution. Include plenty of keywords and helpful links too.
When building your website, use a banner with your mission statement or your customized slogan. This adds an official feel to your website, and lets your customers know what your purpose is. This will help you highlight your services and the reasons for your commitment to your products and customers.
The most important thing about a website is clear, solid content. Your goal is to provide valuable information to your customers in a limited amount of time, so that they can make an informed decision about their purchase. Avoid repeating descriptions or including useless data that is not interesting to the customer.
It would take an entire encyclopedia set to explain the ins and outs of Internet promotion, but every thriving business person on the Internet had to start somewhere. Even those who are experienced at Affiliate marketing are looking for new techniques.
One tip webmasters forget is to keep their sites simple. Adobe Flash and Microsoft Silverlight are enticing to many site owners and are services offered by web designers. Wise owners keep in mind that not every visitor will be capable of, or willing to, use such technology. Your website should strive to be user friendly and functional, without all of the flashy additions.

It's amazing how one play really can turn a game around. Zac Lee's 56 yard touchdown pass to Niles Paul on a 3rd and 8th in the 4th quarter brought the Huskers to life as they rattled off 27 points in the fourth to rally and beat the Missouri Tigers 27-12. Head coach Bo Pelini said he never thought of bailing on Lee. Lee was 9 of 27 for 79 yards in the first three quarters. In the fourth, he was 5 of 6 for for 79 yards and three touchdowns. Lee says there was no doubt that touchdown sort of broke the ice and took some of the pressure off of him.
His counterpart Blaine Gabbert, harassed all night by Ndamukong Suh and the defensive line, 17 of 42 for just 134 yards and two interceptions that led to 14 more points for the Huskers. I counted five times that Nebraska defenders had passes thrown by Missouri quarterback Blaine Gabbert in their hands and they dropped them. At least three of them would have gone for touchdowns. It wasn't until after Zac Lee's 56 yard touchdown pass to Niles Paul, did the defense relax, because on the next two possession, the Huskers came up with interceptions and gave Lee and the offense a short field to work with as NU piles on 27 points in the 4th quarter to beat Missouri 27-12. For the Huskers, who were picked to edge both Missouri and Kansas for the Big 12 north, it wasn't picture perfect, but a win is still a win.
