Folk & Traditional Instruments
Is there any other style of music with more personality than folk? Not likely! Since it's completely the product of culture, there are no two places where folk music is the same. That can also be said of the instruments used to play it, and this section is where you'll find the dozens of different folk instruments that form the heart and soul of concert halls and music festivals from coast to coast.
With so much to choose from, you'll find something for you no matter which instruments you play. If you like to use air to make music, then the selection of harmonicas, melodicas, accordions and even kazoos deserves a close look. For the versatile player, you'll appreciate sets like the Hohner Blues Bender Harmonica 5 Pack, providing a complete range of harps so you'll always have the right one, no matter which key you need.
Stringed instruments just may have the biggest share of the folk scene, so it's no surprise that there are all kinds of those for your consideration as well. Looking for a little Hawaiian charm? Here are all the ukuleles you could possibly ask for. Maybe you're more of a down-home Southern type? If so, kindly direct your attention to the impressive range of banjos. Those are just the beginning of a string selection that also includes staples like the mandolin, steel guitar, resonator guitar, strumstick and more.
There's no doubt about it: folk music really is in a class all its own, and so are its instruments. Everything that you see in these pages has a rich history of culture. In fact, many folk instruments are the products of simple down-to-earth innovation, descended from makeshift instruments that grew over the generations into something more. With any of these great folk instruments in your collection, you'll be well on your way to growing your musical career as well.

Placing points relative to others
Posted: Mon Oct 15, 2012 12:37 am
This may be a difficult question to get across, but I'm going to try just the same. Understand that I come from the background of Bentley Microstation, so it colors the capabilities that I'm looking for in QCad. What I'm looking to be able to do is snap to a point, say an intersection of two lines, and then specify a relative distance from that point to place the first point of a new entity. Is this possible in QCad? I understand that I could create a temporary entity, like a line, to work from, but I've found that sometimes that can get a little messy if the construction lines get away from you.

It just occurred to me that this week we are celebrating three of my favorite professions…NuRsEs, TeAcHeRs, and MotHeRs! Having been a first grade teacher for the 8 years prior to having my children I know how teaching can sometimes seem like a thankless job. There are MaNy parents who go out of their way to let you know that they appreciate the difference you are making in their child's life. BUT…for every parent that thanks you there are 5 that say nothing and 5 that do nothing but complain about what you are NoT doing for their child! I saved every card and thank you that was ever given to me by a parent or student and now being a parent myself know how important it is to simply say…ThAnK YoU!
Next up…Nurses! I have to say up until my late 20's I had little experience with nurses. I never broke a bone or needed surgery and had no reason to visit a hospital. I guess I saved up my need for nurses for the grueling 2+ year struggle with infertility and then my 2 time bought with postpartum depression. There is No WaY I would have made it through both of these experiences without the support of the nurses who took care of me during these times. When going through my 3 IVF cycles, it was truly the nurses, not the doctors who knew my story. I saw the doctors every morning on a rotating basis, but it was my nurses Mary and Pat who were my true cheerleaders. They cried with me through the disappointments and were on the phone with me when I found out I was expecting my miracle baby. It takes a SpEcIaL kind of person to be nurse and share in the highs and lows that come with the fragile life we are given. To all of you…ThAnK YoU for all you do!
Finally…a huge thank you to all of the MoThErS, AuNts, and GrAnDmAs! For years I dreamed of having a baby and being a stay-at-home mom. I am not sure what exactly I thought I was getting into, but I can remember saying a few times in the very beginning, "Where are the cute baby bunnies and little yellow duckies?!!!" Baby gifts and baby cards always have cute little animals on them with cheerful little expressions…there have been MaNy a day that our house looks like a bull ran through a china shop and I have yet to see those cute animal faces! That being said, I believe that being a mother is the hardest JoB in the world. Every single decision you make directly affects those you hold so dear. I wish all of you a VeRy HaPpY MoThErS DaY!

On June 14, as the Mideast cease-fire began, a Palestinian shot to death an Israeli security official near the Jerusalem Tunnel Road. All major news agencies reported the sequence of events as follows: The Palestinian committed deliberate, pre-meditated murder, and then was shot before he could cause further harm.
Compare these reports -- which are straight and factual -- to the CNN report, which whitewashes the Palestinian atrocity.
NEW YORK TIMES -- This morning, Lt. Col. Yehuda Edri, 46, an army intelligence officer, was killed while traveling by car between Jerusalem and a nearby West Bank settlement, Gush Etzion. A passenger was injured, and a third person in the car opened fire, killing a Palestinian assailant, according to the Israeli police.
WASHINGTON POST -- An Israeli army intelligence officer, Lt. Col. Yehuda Edri, 45, was killed by a Palestinian man he was meeting on a major highway south of Jerusalem, according to Palestinian radio. The soldier's bodyguard, who was wounded in the encounter, then shot and killed the Palestinian, Israeli news media reported.
LOS ANGELES TIMES -- Israeli police said Abu Shaireh approached the van where Edri and his two bodyguards waited and opened fire at point-blank range. One of the bodyguards was injured; the other chased the gunman into a nearby olive orchard and shot him to death, according to police.
ASSOCIATED PRESS -- In a test of a new, U.S.-mediated cease-fire deal, a Palestinian fired on an Israeli car along a major West Bank thoroughfare Thursday, killing an Israeli motorist and then dying in return fire from a passenger, police said.
REUTERS -- According to a senior Palestinian official, Thursday's double shooting in the West Bank came when a Palestinian collaborator met his Israeli handlers, killed the officer and wounded his bodyguard and was then shot dead by a third Israeli.
http://dailynews.yahoo.com/h/nm/20010614/wl/mideast_leadall_dc_ 235.html
Compare these to the following CNN report, which purposely blurs the sequence of events:
CNN (Posted: 3:35 PM EDT) -- In one of two new violent incidents, Israeli police said Thursday a Palestinian agent and an Israeli security official were killed in what was described as a shootout. Israeli police said the security official and the Palestinian agent had met clandestinely when the gunfight broke out. (emphasis added)
The incident happened on the outskirts of Jerusalem on Tunnel Road, which leads to Bethlehem.
The Israeli police said the Palestinian agent shot the security official and another Israeli who was with him. The wounded Israeli, who was shot in the neck, then shot the Palestinian and killed him, they said.
CNN cannot bring itself to report the Palestinian atrocity straight out. Instead, in typical CNN style that we've seen over the past 9 months, the report merely says that a "gunfight broke out."
We ask CNN: Since there was only one Palestinian on the scene, if the Palestinian was killed first, then who shot the Israeli?
> From: firstname.lastname@example.com
> To: Israel Update
> Date: 15 Jun 2001
Concerning your comments about CNN's reporting of the killing of Lt Col.Yehuda Edri: The first two reports you quote were in fact incorrect in several aspects.
The facts of the matter are as follows: Lt Col Yehuda Edri was shot during a pre-organised meeting with his Palestinian undercover agent Hassan Abu Sha'ira. One of Colonel Edri's bodyguards was wounded, the second bodyguard chased after and shot Abu Sha'ira.
This was not an incident of random violence; CNN was correct in reporting the story as a meeting between an Israeli Intelligence officer and his Palestinian agent that ended in gunfire.
The other media sources you quote carry a similar version of events in their editions today. Far from "whitewashing a Palestinian atrocity" we were the only news organisation that reported the story correctly right from the beginning.
Mike Hanna
Israel Update responded to Mike Hanna with the following points:
The point we were focusing on was that the Palestinian shot the Israeli at close range, in cold blood, and the Palestinian was only shot at to prevent him from doing further harm. But CNN reported it as an equal exchange of gunfire ("gunfight broke out"), with no indication of who initiated it.
Whether it was a chance meeting or a planned meeting is not relevant to the point we were making. Why did you try to sidestep our main point?
By the way, I believe the assertion that CNN was "the only news organisation that reported the story correctly right from the beginning" is incorrect. A Reuters report describing the clandestine meeting between a "Palestinian collaborator... [and] his Israeli handlers" was posted at 11:08 a.m. ET -- four hours prior to the CNN report.
> From: firstname.lastname@example.com
> To: Israel Update
> Date: 20 Jun 2001
At the time of the report we had no idea of the sequence of events during the pre-organised meeting. We still do not. (emphasis added)
There has been no public statement from either of the survivors. We are awaiting an official report from the Israeli security officials who've been conducting the de-brief and will report it accordingly.
CNN claims that it still has "no idea of the sequence of events." Yet the Palestinian claim outright (and this was confirmed by Israeli police) that the Palestinian informer carried out deliberate, pre-meditated murder, probably as a representative of Yasser Arafat's Fatah group.
Why does the lack of a "public statement from either of the survivors" prevent CNN from reporting these facts? Since when are confirmed news reports held up in lieu of public statements from survivors?
The rest of the world's news agencies don't seem to be lacking any information in this regard:
NEW YORK TIMES -- Palestinian officials said the assailant was Hasan Abu Sayreh, an informer who had agreed to meet the colonel. The Palestinians called the incident a carefully planned execution in revenge for the killing of a Palestinian paramilitary leader in November.
WASHINGTON POST -- Family members characterized him as a "martyr" who set up the meeting intending to shoot an Israeli security officer in retaliation for the November assassination of Hussein Abayat, an activist with the radical Palestinian group Hamas.
LOS ANGELES TIMES -- In a leaflet, a group calling itself the Hussein Abeiat Brigade took responsibility for the shooting and said Abu Shaireh volunteered to carry it out to avenge the death of Abeiat, a Fatah militant the Israeli army killed in November...
ASSOCIATED PRESS -- Palestinian leader Yasser Arafat's Fatah group took responsibility for the shooting and also for firing mortar shells at a Jewish settlement in Gaza on Thursday, a day after the truce went into effect.
REUTERS -- An offshoot of Arafat's Fatah faction claimed it had been responsible for the killing of the officer near Bethlehem. The group said in a statement the Israeli officer had been in charge of recruiting collaborators to assassinate Palestinian activists and the man had volunteered to kill his handler.
http://dailynews.yahoo.com/h/nm/20010614/wl/mideast_leadall_dc_ 235.html
CNN and Mike Hanna have consistently and deliberately obfuscated the truth of Palestinian atrocities, and in the past nine months of Mideast violence, CNN's credibility as a reputable news organization has been torn to shreds.
Why is CNN not reporting the facts?
If you believe that CNN demonstrated bias in reporting this story, complain to:

Sausage salad bento idea
Bento is not only rice, and you can eat a delicious meal with other ingredients like potatoes, green beans and... cornichons! This is my bento idea for days when I literally cannot look at rice, e.g. the day after sushi day. And, because most of the ingredients are pre-made in jars, you can quickly assemble this set when you're short on time. What's not to love about this bento idea?!

As Father's Day approaches, take a look at some wisdom provided by some of TV's most memorable dads:
- "The funniest is that we're supposed to hide the way we feel about people. Let me tell you, everybody wants to know that they are loved, or needed, or cared about. Anybody who doesn't want to know that has something wrong with them," Charles Ingalls, "Little House on the Prairie"
- "I want to share something with you. The three little sentences that will get you through life. Number 1: Cover for me. Number 2: Oh, good idea, boss! Number 3: It was like that when I got here," Homer Simpson, "The Simpsons"
- "You have to realize, Will, sometimes parents just don't understand," Philip Banks, "The Fresh Prince of Bel Air."
- "Exact words are hard to live by," Mike Brady, "The Brady Bunch"
- "Drive safe, and don't flip off anybody you can't out run," Dan Conner, "Roseanne"
- "You want to know the meaning of life? You're born, you go to school, you go to work, you die," Frank Barone, "Everybody Loves Raymond"
- "I'm not telling you who to date, I'm telling you who not to date," Danny Tanner, "Full House"
- "If you really want something in this life, you have to work for it. Now, quiet! They're about to announce the lottery numbers," Homer Simpson, "The Simpsons"

Easier to use products through auto-settings and better visibility.
Improve productivity with technologies that enhance efficiency and save you money.
Optimize your operation through advanced welding processes, training and weld data monitoring.
Southwest Welding, LLC, based in Buckeye, Arizona, is a complete mobile fabrication business certified by AWS and ASME for pipe and structural welding applications. The company is a leader in pipe welding and fabrication for the petroleum industry, as well as heavy equipment repair, serving companies in the region since 1990.
Southwest Welding has built its mobile welding rigs centered on large 400- and 500-amp engine-driven welder/generators. It recently replaced one of those machines with the new Trailblazer® 325 EFI with Excel™ power from Miller Electric Mfg. Co. In doing so, it has substantially cut fuel use and costs, helped reduce sound levels in the work area, and reduced the size and weight of the equipment on the truck. New exclusive technologies also optimize engine output and ensure consistent performance even when multiple tools are running on the machine at the same time.
Often working in the blistering heat of Arizona's desert climate, the company splits its time between heavy equipment repair and petroleum plant work. Stick welding is their primary process, but a number of applications require MIG and Flux Cored welding, as well as more sensitive aluminum repairs that are performed with a spool gun.
"We do a lot of 1/4-inch and 3/8-inch material from piping to wear plate," says Danny Parker, lead welder and supervisor, Southwest Welding. "We go all the way down to 1/8-inch thick to 2- or 3-inch thick material. It varies from job to job."
Southwest Welding operates three trucks outfitted with engine-driven welder/generators. The most important tool on a mobile fabricator's truck, the welder/generator not only provides the welding functionality but also powers most other tools needed on site, including saws, grinders and lights. The perfect example of this use is heavy equipment repair where the damaged steel must either be cut or gouged out, ground down, and new steel welded back in place. A recent crane lattice repair showcased these capabilities, as lattice bars were removed and new bars were welded into place (see photos).
Southwest Welding was recently one of the first companies to use the Trailblazer 325 EFI. While Parker and his colleagues typically work with larger, diesel-engine-driven models, the new Trailblazer 325 provided more than enough welding and generator output to handle most applications, and offered greater versatility with excellent spool gun performance and wireless remote control functionality. Rated for 325 amps at 100 percent duty cycle at 104 degrees F, the new Trailblazer 325 EFI also offers up to 12,000 watts of generator power and 120 volts/60Hz of optional "Excel™ power" at all engine speeds for running jobsite tools.
One of the highest operating costs and greatest hassles for any mobile welding operation is fuel. The new Trailblazer 325 EFI features three technologies that significantly reduce fuel use: Auto-Speed™ technology, Excel power, and Electronic Fuel Injection. Annual fuel savings can exceed $1,6001 compared to previous Trailblazer models, and may be even greater when compared to other machines.
"In the last two months, we've probably saved at least $300 to $400 in fuel, as opposed to other machines that we run," says Parker.
Two of these technologies are new to this type of equipment. Older engine-driven welder/generators typically ran at a full 3,600 RPM while welding and running power tools, even if the required power was considerably less. The new exclusive Auto-Speed technology automatically adjusts engine speed to match actual weld load requirements. This means that, depending on equipment load, the machine may be able to weld while at idle (2,400 RPM). The second new technology, Excel power, also allows most typical jobsite power tools to be operated at 2,400 RPM versus traditional machines, which jump the output up to 3,600 RPM.
"If you're using your grinders a lot, doing a lot of grinding daily, you're not burning as much fuel," says Parker. "It's quieter while we're working at the trucks and the power is still there. That's the best thing: the power is there but the RPMs aren't up running and consuming fuel."
Another key factor contributing to the reduced fuel use is the electronic fuel injection. Electronic fuel injection optimizes air/fuel ratios for all engine speeds and loads, ensuring operation at peak fuel efficiency. Taking these technologies into consideration, the new Trailblazer 325 EFI requires up to 35 percent less fuel than previous models in the Trailblazer product line, and offers run times that are as much as 50 percent longer than traditional engine-driven welder/generators.
"I can go at least a week, almost a full 40-hour work week with a full tank of fuel in this as opposed to about, say, three work days on another machine," says Parker.
That extended runtime not only saves money, but reduces the hassle of having to fill up the tank as often during the week.
"Most of our jobs are remote, out in the middle of nowhere, so having something that can stay out there and stay all day long with a full tank of fuel is a good benefit for us. That's less downtime I have to pay my guys to go into town to get fuel because they run out halfway through (a job)."
An added benefit of the machine consistently running at lower RPMs is that sound has been reduced significantly — by as much as 68 percent — compared to other models available today. This is also accomplished by an improved machine layout that both optimizes airflow through the machine and further stifles sound. The lower noise output makes it easier for Southwest's welders to communicate and reduces some of the noise pollution on the site.
"The sound on this is very quiet compared to our other machines," says Parker. "I'd say it's 50 percent quieter than most of the machines that we use on our trucks. The guys can communicate better closer to the trucks. We work off the back of the truck quite a bit, and if we're talking ten feet away, we can hear ourselves and everybody understands what's going on."
The new Trailblazer 325 EFI is five inches shorter and 108 pounds lighter (460 pounds total) than previous Trailblazer models, and is considerably smaller and lighter than the large diesel engine-driven machine that was previously on the truck. This reduction in size helps Southwest Welding better optimize the use of its space on the truck.
"We get into the bigger 400- and 500-amp machines, and they tend to weigh more and are longer," says Parker. "You could put this machine in a regular three-quarter ton truck with a regular suspension and be fine with as light as it is. It's about 50 percent lighter than all our machines on our other trucks, and the more room we have, the (better) on every truck."
The reduced weight also provides a smoother ride, and the smaller design provides for better sight lines while driving. "The older welder was diesel and took up the whole length of the back of the truck from my (driver) side all the way over to the torch bottles," says Joshua Johnson, welder, Southwest Welding.
"That one is a lot smaller and the truck moves a lot better. You could definitely tell a difference when that old welder was off and we put this one on.""(The machine) sits lower," he adds. "When I'm driving down the road now, I can look and see my blind spot."
While the new design of the Trailblazer 325 EFI is much more compact and efficient than other engine-driven welder/generators with similar output capabilities, it does not sacrifice any performance to achieve those efficiencies. Through new Smart-Cor™ technology, the new machine maintains the independent weld and generator capabilities found in previous Trailblazer models. This independent weld and generator performance ensures strong, clean power and no interaction between jobsite tools and the welding arc—particularly critical for Southwest Welding when working on pipe and structural steel.
"It's constant, I haven't seen any arc fluctuation while you're welding and someone else is running a grinder" says Parker. "We've run a lot of heavy-duty grinders off there, 13- and 20-amp grinders, and they can keep up with it while welding at the same time."
The machine offers up to 325 amps of welding power in Stick and MIG applications and allows the operator to tailor the arc to the application at hand, with machine settings optimized to each process. Welders can choose between xx18 and xx10 series Stick electrodes, solid or flux-cored wires, TIG or gouging settings, and a 14-pin connection is ideal for running spool guns and wireless remote controls.
"We jump back and forth from structural to piping applications, and to have the gouge or soft start is a nice option," says Parker. "The ease of just switching a dial to put on for a wire or a spool gun attachment is real easy. And the fact that we can adjust the parameters with the wireless remote is a good plus, too (see sidebar). We're not spending time walking back and forth adjusting from long distances or in remote areas."
Looking at the new Trailblazer 325 EFI, Parker sees a machine that provides the productivity he needs while also reducing fuels costs, improving the work environment and providing more flexibility to fit more materials on the truck through reduced size. Most importantly, the quality matches his expectations.
"It's really consistent, you get your full amps out of the machine," says Parker, "and the arc control is very good."
1 Estimated based on typical usage – 150 amps welding 40 percent of the time; 20 amps generator power 30 percent of the time, and idling without load 30 percent of the time.
Another advancement that is simplifying the life of mobile fabricators is wireless remote control technology. Wireless remote controls operate through the 14-pin receptacle on the front of the Trailblazer 325 EFI and allow the welder to change his settings from the point of the weld, rather than having to get up and go back to the machine. For companies like Southwest Welding, who regularly work anywhere from 30 to 90 feet away from the truck, this helps cut down on the hassle and the non-productive time of going back and forth to the machine.
"It saves our guys from getting up if we're down in a ditch or we're on a ladder," says Parker. "You don't have to climb down, take our tools off and go change the machine just for five amps or ten amps. In a pipe setting where we're changing from uphill to downhill positions, it's a phenomenal use for that."
Welder Joshua Johnson says the timesaving adds up.
"Through the course of the day, it probably saves an hour," says Johnson. "Depending on what you're doing, you always have to run back and turn your welder up one or two or five amps. When you have (the wireless remote), it's so much easier. You don't have to move, especially when you are doing repairs and have to crawl into places, it takes forever to get in there. Now you don't have to move. You hit the remote and it does it for you."
It also eliminates the need for old corded remote models that provided a tripping hazard and were prone to damage (and, thus, downtime and replacement costs).
"Your welding lead is already enough cord," says Johnson, "and then add in more cords, there's more stuff you can trip over, more stuff you have to drag around or worry about laying a piece of metal on it. It's much better."
And unlike old rheostat-style controls, the digital interface on wireless remotes help improve welding accuracy and control.
"I like the digital because it's easier to adjust," says Johnson. "You just hit the button and it goes up one at a time. And you can look at your amperage or voltage, versus the older style where you can't do that."

Under water sex sounds hot right? Two almost naked bodies glistening in the summer sun… A flirtatious splish, a friendly splash, your body weightlessly wrapped around his for an intimate kiss and some cheeky under water touching.
It is hot, and it's definitely easy to get carried away with the motions of the ocean when the touching develops into bona fide bumping and grinding. But before you go grabbing your bikini and your man you may want to consider the following facts regarding your health and under water sex.
1. Water does nothing but wash your natural lubrication away. Making under water sex awkward and uncomfortable.
2. Chlorinated or salt water are not ideal to get inside a woman. It will cause discomfort and irritation in such a sensitive area.
3. Sex underwater is difficult to practice safe sex. Even if you do manage to come prepared with protection, chlorinated or salt water do not mix with condoms.
Basically, if you want to stay healthy, comfortable and also actually enjoy the whole experience, sex in a pool, in the ocean, anal sex under water or basically any form of penetrative sex in the water is better left for dry ground.
Foreplay! And lots of it! So we're back at the beach, you're feeling great in your bikini and he's looking oh so hot in his swimmers. Let your mind get carried away with a little fantasy and enjoy your time together by letting the anticipation build. By not being able to have actual sex underwater (besides the innocent foreplay) you are both going to be crazy randy for it by the time you get back to dry land. Importantly your mind is going to be ready for sex and in turn your body is also going to be well on its way.
But for those who still want to experiment, you can try oral sex in the water. This is easiest in a spa or on the steps of a pool with you sitting on the edge to avoid chlorine getting in to your vagina. If you're keen you can even try giving him a blow job under water, still by the safety and relative comfort by the side of the pool.
If you are super eager and are already very comfortable with regular anal sex, you can try for anal sex under water. Although it is possible to experiment with in a pool or spa, you will definitely still need ample amounts of a silicone-based lubricant. And although this lube is condom safe, and water resistant just be mindful that it is likely to cause a bit of a mess, and chlorine and anal sex under water will usually only result in one thing: Ring Sting!
All in all remember that sex in the water equals excellent foreplay. So enjoy your day at the beach or the pool, come out of the water and share a kiss, wrapped together in one big fluffy towel… then race home to your bedroom.

UConn Torrington grad returns to teach
Torrington >> Castle Yuran, a former University of Connecticut-Torrington student, will teach a writing course there as part of her graduate school program later this month.
Yuran hopes her five-week workshop writing course will give back to the school that has given her so much.
"I had so much support from everyone who believed in me there," said Yuran. "They believed that I was serious when I said, 'I want to be a writer.' Even professors who weren't in the English department; my philosophy professor and my math professor and all of them believed that I could do this and I got constant encouragement."
Yuran decided UConn Torrington was the school where she would pursue her English degree, and made that important decision after just one visit.
"My mom went there back in the '70s," said Yuran. "She told me about it. We were driving around one day and decided I should just stop in for an impromptu interview. I did that, and I honestly didn't look at any other schools."
Yuran's mother, Robin, is a poet and former co-director of the Norfolk Library.
The small environment at UConn Torrington appealed to Yuran, she said, because she attended Northwestern Regional High School. The regional school in Winsted has about 750 students. Yuran began classes at UConn Torrington in 2006.
Yuran's creative writing professor, Davyne Verstandig, the former director of the Litchfield County Writers Project, remembered her from that impromptu interview when she was still a high school student.
"She knew she was a poet," said Verstandig. "She had no dilutions or illusions about what that meant."
Yuran joined the Litchfield County Writers Project shortly after arriving at school. She worked as an assistant for the project by setting up events, greeting guest speakers and writing press releases.
The Litchfield County Writers Project hosts a variety of programs through the year designed to encourage students' writing efforts and draw on the expertise of the county's literary community. Published authors of many genres take part in workshops, forums and other events that draw students into the literary community.
"I worked for them and I got to experience real writers coming in and seeing where these people had actually ended up, you know successful poets and writers," said Yuran.
During Yuran's time with the LCWP, writer Frank McCourt, of "Angela's Ashes" fame, was the biggest talent the project was able to bring in.
"That was huge," said Yuran. "It was very inspirational."
Yuran, along with fellow student Joshua Brunetti, founded a student-run campus writing group called WORD during her time at school.
"Castle was its leader for three years, from 2009 to 2012, and during that time, the group met weekly to workshop poetry and short stories, hosted several spoken word events, and sought out and submitted pieces to area writing contests," said Kathy Knapp, director of LCWP and WORD faculty advisor during Yuran's time at UConn Torrington. "Castle was not only the group's leader but its driving force."
Unfortunately, WORD no longer exists. Yuran said she carried it on for awhile after Brunetti graduated but eventually interest dwindled.
"At its peak, though, we had a great many students who would meet weekly to share work and do writing prompts," said Yuran.
After graduating from UConn Torrington with a bachelor's degree in English in 2011, Yuran went on to graduate school to get her MSA in creative writing at Goddard College in Vermont. Goddard is also a school her mother, Robin Yuran, attended.
Yuran began her low-residency graduate program in January 2012.
Yuran explained that a low-residency program means she only lives on campus in Vermont for one week at the beginning of each semester. During that time, she attends intensive workshops and advising meetings. Once she is at home, Yuran must send a packet of creative work and annotations of books she is reading to her advisor every three weeks. The semester is 15 weeks long, after which she has a month or two off before she must return to Vermont.
She is coming back to Torrington for the teaching practicum portion of her program. Yuran is required to log 15 hours of teaching.
Besides those requirements, the program is wide open, said Yuran. She could choose what she wanted to teach and where as long as it was supervised by an institution. "I chose [UConn Torrington] because I am comfortable there," said Yuran. "I know the people. I knew they would support me coming there for a class and they wouldn't have any stipulations or anything. They have a great space. They have a nice little seminar room."
Yuran said it took no time at all for the staff at UConn Torrington to agree to let her log her hours at their campus.
Verstandig believes Yuran will do well with teaching because she was very successful as a tutor at UConn Torrington's writing center.
"She's certainly someone who relates well to other people," said Verstandig. "She's approachable. That's why she was successful in the writing center. Students were comfortable sharing their work and asking for help."
Yuran's class will be a workshop style writing seminar. She will provide prompts to the students, and then allow them to explore their feelings through their writing.
"I have a different topic for every class and I'm going to bring in pieces of writing that focus on that topic and discuss with the class why they work," said Yuran. "Then give prompts for the class to basically be writing for the better part of the three hours."
Originally, Yuran's course was supposed to have begun at the beginning of February. However, she pushed back the start date so she could be sure her idea was sound.
"I realized I hadn't perfectly honed my teaching idea," said Yuran.
She thinks she has a better idea now, and her course is set to start on Friday, Feb. 22 from 6 to 9 p.m. The class will meet once a week for five weeks. Each class will be three hours long. According to Yuran, there are 9 people currently enrolled in the class.
"I really hope, first of all, they are comfortable enough to have a great time," said Yuran. "Second of all, can come up with something really substantial because I feel like I get to take classes like this when I'm at my residencies at Goddard. Whoever is teaching will say OK this is your time to write and I'm going to guide you a little bit but I'm going to let you go where you want to go also. I love that kind of thing and its important to have, as a writer, solid periods of time where you're allowed to just go crazy with what you want to write. I want that for the people who are taking [the class]."
Yuran said that she is nervous but very excited about the class. She thinks of this as an opportunity to give back to the community who helped her.
"I'm trying," she said.

Crowd helps fuel Mission Hills victory
The Oceanside High football team has played way too many big games to be a "deer in the headlights," Pirates coached John Carroll had promised.
But his team, ranked No. 1 in the county, appeared to be exactly that Friday night in a 30-6 loss to No. 2 Mission Hills.
Before a standing-room-only crowd at Mission Hills, a crowd that was rocking from the opening kickoff, Oceanside committed six turnovers — four interceptions, two fumbles.
"Our crowd, our students were so great," said Mission Hills linebacker-running back Ricky Liuchan, who rushed 17 times for 67 yards on offense and had eight tackles on defense.
"I don't know if that hurt Oceanside, but it sure pumped us up."
Oceanside's turnovers led to 20 of Mission Hills' points.
A first-quarter interception by DeChaun Holiday led to a Mission Hills field goal.
A Zach Harbin third-quarter interception set up a Grizzlies touchdown.
Holiday returned an interception 66 yards for a score at the start of the fourth quarter.
And a fumble recovery by Zevedeo Barela in the fourth quarter led to a field goal and the final score.
Just as important, the second of Holiday's three interceptions came at his team's 1-yard line, blunting an Oceanside scoring attempt with the score 6-6.
Nate Ostrom's fumble recovery came at the Mission Hills 20 with 30 seconds left in the half, costing Oceanside at least a field-goal try.
In addition, Oceanside was stuffed on a fourth and goal at the 1 in the third quarter with the score still a manageable deficit of 20-6.
Liuchan led that defensive charge.
"I'm frustrated as heck with the score," said Carroll. "One of the interceptions was my fault because of a bad call, but we also threw into coverage too much.
"And we didn't score from the one because I had us in a wrong formation against their defensive line.
"Bottom line, though, is that we have to do a better job of controlling, protecting the ball."
Both teams have byes this week as do Top 10 teams Helix, San Pasqual, St. Augustine, Ramona and Carlsbad.
Oceanside comes out of the bye and plays at Carlsbad while Mission Hills hosts Escondido on Oct. 11.
"Lose like that, and you'd much rather play this week," Carroll said.
The only Top 10 teams in action this Friday are Cathedral Catholic (at Morse), Eastlake (hosts Sweetwater) and Madison (hosts Mira Mesa).
"We have a ton of respect for Oceanside," Liuchan said. "We're both in the Open Division for the playoffs, so we might play them again.
"This might not be over."

Google+ Most Popular With Male Users, Students [INFOGRAPHIC]
The stereotypical Google+ user is a male engineer, but that's only half right. According to new research, Google+ is still definitely male-skewing, but students outnumber software engineers by a wide margin.
That's one of the most compelling bits of data compiled by Website-Monitoring. A little more than a half year after launch, Website-Monitoring took a look at the demographics behind Google+. One surprise is the number of students on the network — 20%. That compares to the next most-popular profession on the list, software engineers (2.65%). Consultants and managers are also popular on the network. Men also make up 67% of G+'s audience. That's an improvement over July, when males made up 86.8% or 73.7% of G+, depending on the source.
Meanwhile, the site seems to be popular in India. Bangalore, Hyperabad and Calcutta made the list of the top 10 G+ cities and Bangalore was number one, edging out New York. The U.S., however, still has the largest share of G+ users — 31.49% vs. 13.69% for India.
Unfortunately, the research doesn't outline the average age of Plussers, though a glance at some bands that are popular on the network — Coldplay, the Red Hot Chili Peppers and Pearl Jam — conjures up someone in the Gen X range. That, however, may change since Google opened the network to teens last month.

Miramax has promoted Joe Patrick and Beth Minehart to exec VP of worldwide television and exec VP, global digital, respectively.
Both will report to interim CEO Steve Schoch.
Minehart and Patrick have been instrumental in exploiting the company's film and television library since new owners took over the company in 2010. With a mandate of extracting as much value as possible from the company's more than 700 films, Miramax has inked a number of digital and global television licensing deals, including pacts with Lionsgate, Netflix, Facebook, Hulu and Studiocanal.
Minehart, who previously served as senior VP, global digital, has spearheaded much of Miramax's digital distribution. She joined the company in 2011 after serving for more than 14 years in senior roles at NBC Universal.
Patrick joined Miramax in March 2011 as senior VP, domestic television and digital sales, and was named head of worldwide sales later that year. Before joining Miramax, Patrick served as exec VP at MGM worldwide television group.
"Miramax's global sales organization has grown our distribution to more than 125 countries through both new and traditional platforms, and Joe and Beth have been at the forefront of this expansion," Schoch said in a statement announcing the promotions on Tuesday. "They have also been a driving force in further leveraging the strength of the Miramax sales group, offering distribution in the worldwide marketplace to other highly regarded content owners. We are very pleased to recognize Beth's and Joe's leadership, and we look forward to their continued contributions as Miramax looks toward the future."
While Miramax completed a film-backed securitization that raised $550 million in 2011, many observers have questioned just how long the company can continue to generate substantial revenues without adding new content. Miramax toppers, including Colony Capital principal Richard Nanula, are exploring options to produce certain projects that came with Colony's acquisition of the library three years ago, but nothing has materialized so far.

Habs, Sens fight for series lead in Game 3
The Montreal Canadiens will try for a second straight win in the Eastern Conference quarterfinals when the best-of-seven series shifts to Ottawa for Sunday's Game 3 clash at Scotiabank Place.
The second-seeded Canadiens dropped a 4-2 decision to the Senators in Thursday's opener in Montreal, but the Habs rebounded with a 3-1 triumph in Friday's Game 2 to even the series at one win apiece.
Ottawa, meanwhile, hopes it can regain the upper hand in the series on home ice. The Senators, who will also host Game 4 on Tuesday, had a stellar 15-6-3 record at home during the regular season compared to a 10-11-3 mark on the road.
All four goals in Friday's game in Montreal came in the second period, with Ryan White and Brendan Gallagher scoring in a 53-second span early in the stanza to provide the Canadiens with all the offense it would need.
Michael Ryder also lit the lamp in the middle frame for the Canadiens, who evened this best-of-seven set despite the absences of captain Brian Gionta along with forwards Lars Eller and Max Pacioretty due to upper-body injuries.
Eller was kept overnight for observation at a local hospital but released Friday morning after absorbing an illegal hit to the head from Sens defenseman Eric Gryba during Thursday's series opener. Gryba was given a two-game suspension by the league prior to the contest and will serve the final part of that ban tonight.
Gionta and Pacioretty are dealing with upper-body injuries, but both players made the trip to Ottawa and are questionable for Game 3. Eller is out indefinitely with a concussion and facial fractures.
Canadiens goaltender Carey Price helped make up for the missing pieces as he rebounded from a shaky performance in Game 1 by making 29 saves. Price lost two of his bottom teeth in a goalmouth collision during the second period, but did not miss any game action.
"With Lars and others out, it was a total team effort," Price said. "We came out fighting, as the stats will show. We outhit them and it paid off. The pressure was on us but we all came through."
White put the Habs on the board at 3:20 of the second, when he poked at a failed clear by Senators defenseman Erik Karlsson deep in the Ottawa zone and the puck slid through Anderson's pads. The fluke tally was his first career postseason marker.
"It was just a chance thing. I intercepted the pass, and decided to slide it through the goalie's pads," White said of his milestone.
Gallagher's tap-in off an Alex Galchenyuk feed from the right side made it 2-0 just 53 seconds later.
Milan Michalek notched the lone score for the Senators, while Craig Anderson halted 31 shots in defeat.
"They played harder than we did. We turned pucks over that ended in our net. Any time you hear that, it's a recipe for disaster," said Senators head coach Paul MacLean. "Our power play was working better, but we got no results, especially in the first."
The Senators and Canadiens split four meetings during the season series, with each club winning two games on home ice.
Montreal was 15-7-2 on the road during the regular season.

For allergy sufferers, the sounds of spring have arrived, in the form of sniffing, sneezing and coughing.
And this year, they're accompanied by complaints that this season is one of the worst in memory.
"Allergy season came a bit sooner and faster, and that's what took everyone by surprise," said Dr. Sonali Majmudar, an allergist and immunologist based in Hoffman Estates, who said many of her patients report that they've never struggled with allergies before this season.
Sharon Silver, of Glenview, said her symptoms — a runny nose and eyes so itchy that one of them almost wouldn't open — are worse than she can recall.
"There have been some years I forgot I even had allergies," said Silver, 69. "But this year, whoa, they are back with a vengeance."
The choppy, indecisive early spring weather for which Chicago is known, with temperatures jumping between balmy and freezing every few days, might also be to blame, Majmudar said. When it warms up and cools down, pollination starts and stops and immune systems don't know how to react, she said.
Also contributing: one of the rainiest Aprils on record. While that might be great for yard plants, it's a big problem for people with allergies, said Dr. Joseph Leija.
Leija, an allergist at Loyola University Health System's Gottlieb Memorial Hospital in Melrose Park, also called this the most severe allergy season he has seen in years.
Tree allergy season, which usually begins to wane by early May, is still going strong this year, said Leija, who provides pollen counts for the Midwest to the National Allergy Bureau.
Aside from the rain, windy conditions tend to blow pollen around more than normal, said Paul Merzlock, lead forecaster in the Chicago office of the National Weather Service. But Merzlock said he doesn't know of any particular weather pattern that would make this year different from the rest.
The combination of rain and wind in Chicago this spring may be a lose-lose situation for allergy sufferers, said Dr. Mark Jacobson, an asthma and allergy specialist in Hinsdale and past president of the Illinois Society of Allergy, Asthma and Immunology.
"On dry, windy days, there tends to be more pollen in the air," he said. "On rainy days, the pollen tends to be washed out of the air, but then the mold counts will be higher."
But, don't crown the 2011 season the worst ever for allergies just yet, said Dr. Mark Kaplan, of Asthma and Allergy Consultants Ltd., which has offices in Highland Park, Gurnee and Libertyville. He thinks the allergy problem gets blown out of proportion each year.
"People have short memories," Kaplan said. "They forget how bad their allergies were last year. It was bad last year, and it will be bad next year too."
Kaplan said that his office is very busy this time of year, but that it's hard to say whether it's worse than any other year.
"I don't want to say there isn't significant pollen," Kaplan said. "We do have people that are miserable."
Avoiding allergic triggers as much as possible is the No. 1 thing Jacobson said people can do to help themselves this allergy season.
"From a practical standpoint, this would primarily involve keeping the windows shut and running the air conditioning," he said. "Focus should be placed particularly on the bedroom since you spend a third of your life there."
Leija said people who work outside should be sure to shower and change their clothes before going to bed to avoid leaving pollen on their bedding that will prolong their allergy suffering.
Other tips include staying inside during early morning hours when pollen count is highest and avoiding lawn-mowing or freshly cut grass, said Jacobson, who also suggests using a dryer for laundry rather than hanging it outside.
Allergists also say it's easy to confuse symptoms of seasonal allergies with that of the common cold. Typically, a cold lasts no more than seven days, while allergies can last for weeks or months, Majmudar said.
She also said that deeper coughs and thicker mucus are typically signs of a cold or other infection.
"This spring has hit people hard," Majmudar said. "It's important to try to identify what exactly you're allergic to, then treat it."
For allergy sufferers, the sounds of spring have arrived, in the form of sniffing, sneezing and coughing.

Team C.S.L. doesn't only feature some of the best cosplayers in South Korea, but the entire world. The cosplay collective has represented its country at the World Cosplay Summit (think: "Cosplay Olympics") several times. And for good reason. Team C.S.L. is great.
"C.S.L." stands for "Cosplay Stage Laboratory". What makes this collective so interesting is that its somewhat varied, with a pretty good mix of male and female cosplayers. That, and the group's outfits, pictures, and props are all top notch.
Have a look at the team's cosplay work.

D-backs unveil 2013 Spring Training schedule
It will be the first of 36 spring games and the first of 17 home games and two road games at Salt River Fields, which the team shares with the Rockies.
In addition, the D-backs will play a pair of exhibition games against the Reds at Chase Field on March 29 and 30 just prior to their regular-season opener against the Cardinals on April 1.
The D-backs will square off nine times against their National League West rivals with three games against the Rockies and two each against the Giants, Padres and Dodgers.
With the 2013 World Baseball Classic's first round being played in Arizona, the D-backs will face Team Mexico in an exhibition game on March 5 at 7:10 p.m. MT at Salt River Fields.
The D-backs will play six night games during the spring, including one at Chase Field against the Reds and one against the Indians at Goodyear Ballpark.
The D-backs sold out 12 spring games last year and the D-backs' average Spring Training attendance of 11,677 was the highest in the Majors.
Tickets for all games at Salt River Fields are priced from $8-$27. General admission lawn seating that will hold 4,000 people will be $8 and tickets for 7,000 reserved seats in the seating bowl range from $18-$27.
The D-backs Plan, which offers tickets for each of their 17 home games at Salt River Fields, ranges in price from $136-$459. The two exhibition games held at Chase Field are not included in the Spring Training season ticket package, but are available in the D-backs' regular season ticket packages.
Salt River Pima-Maricopa Indian community members and D-backs and Rockies season-ticket holders may purchase season-ticket plans for Spring Training games at Salt River Fields exclusively between Dec. 17-19. Season-ticket plans for the D-backs' 19 home games and all 33 Spring Training games at Salt River Fields featuring the D-backs and Rockies will go on sale to the public beginning Dec. 20.
Individual game tickets for all 33 games at Salt River Fields will go on sale beginning at 10 a.m. MT on Jan. 5. Tickets can be purchased in person at the D-backs ticket office at Chase Field, or at dbacks.com/spring. Individual tickets for the two exhibition games at Chase Field will go on sale at a later date.

Welcome to the Division of Herpetology
Click on the links above to enter our site. For fun you can find those who currently work here as well as those from the past. You can also learn about our amphibian and reptile collection and even search our online database. We also provide a current list of Florida's established herpetofauna, as well as our famous Online Guide to Florida Snakes.
The time-lapse video above shows the rearticulation of a massive 17'7" Burmese python conducted at the Florida Museum in 2014. Museum researchers performing a necropsy on the snake in 2012 discovered it weighed 164.5 pounds and contained 87 eggs, both Florida state records for this invasive species.
The animal was brought to the Museum after it was captured in Everglades National Park as part of a long-term project with the U.S. Department of the Interior to research methods for managing the state's invasive Burmese python problem. The snake, part of the Everglades National Park museum collection, will be displayed at the Florida Museum of Natural History before it is returned to Everglades National Park.
Native to Southeast Asia and first found in the Everglades in 1979, the Burmese python is one of the deadliest and most competitive predators in South Florida. With no known natural predator, population estimates for the python range from the thousands to hundreds of thousands. They were determined to be an established species in 2000 and are a significant concern, said Florida Museum herpetologist Kenneth Krysko.
Florida has the world's worst invasive reptile and amphibian problem. Krysko led a 20-year study published in September 2011 in Zootaxa showing 137 non-native species were introduced to Florida between 1863 and 2010. The study verified the pet trade as the No. 1 cause of species introductions, and the Burmese python was one of 56 non-native species determined to be reproducing and established in the state. These numbers have increased since the 2011 study.

Bank of America to Cut 30,000 to 35,000 Positions
By Kevin Reynolds and David Mildenberg
Dec. 11 (Bloomberg) -- Bank of America Corp., the third- largest U.S. bank, said it plans to cut 30,000 to 35,000 positions over the next three years because of its acquisition of Merrill Lynch & Co. and the weak economic environment.
The final number of job cuts won't be decided until early next year, the Charlotte, North Carolina-based company said in a statement today. The takeover of the New York-based investment bank is expected to be completed later this month.
The cuts will occur throughout the companies, affecting all lines of businesses and staff units, Bank of America said.
"As many reductions as possible will be made through attrition," the lender said.

Each new year is famous (or infamous) for people setting resolutions. I'm not one for resolutions, per se, but I do believe in setting goals and prayerfully seeking God's best. That said, what better growth goal can we set in 2019 than to know God and His Word more?
That's why I'm so excited for this first giveaway of 2019. Thomas Nelson's NKJV Study Bible feature over 15,000 verse-by-verse study notes, helpful commentary, historical context, and culture notes–all designed to deepen our understanding of Scripture.
Aside from the burgundy-colored leather exterior, which is absolutely lovely, opening the Bible reveals the wealth of study resources available. There's a guide on how to study the Bible, followed by listings of articles, charts and diagrams, and word studies. Each book of the Bible begins with an introduction that explains the author, background, theme, outline of the book, and more. The print itself is a comfortable, easy-to-read size, and the full-color images add interest throughout.
I have ONE copy to give away, and I can't wait to see who will receive it! There are several ways to enter this giveaway:
- Subscribe to the KristenHogrefe.com newsletter by clicking here. This is my monthly newsletter that features book news, details on more giveaways, and encouragement for your everyday life.
- Share my giveaway post on social media. You can find and re-share ones I have on Facebook and Twitter. Be sure to tag me so that I see your post!
- Leave a comment below, sharing a New Year's goal and how this Bible could help you achieve it.
- Do more than one to be entered multiple times!
The giveaway is open through Saturday, January 19, and I'll announce the winner in the following week's blog. Please note: Since I will be mailing a physical copy of this Bible, the giveaway is only open to those in the United States.
Wishing you a year in which God's Word becomes dearer to you than ever before!
~ Kristen
