Seven Ideas for Revitalizing Multicultural Education
Increased Interest
Attendance approached 1000 people, a continued increase, signaling a revitalization in the conversation and interest. Leadership programs have been formalized with a mentor/ mentee format with specific objectives to help new members get involved. Personally, I was able to meet with almost every single person involved in the leadership of NAME, from the founders and president to keynote speakers and committee chairs. It was a rare conference where you can meet the leadership up close and personal and engage in authentic and courageous conversations. Institutes and workshop topics targeted all audiences and needs from a session on the challenges of implementing GLBTQ children's literature in the elementary classroom to a session on an innovative teacher evaluation matrix that included quality indicators for culturally responsive teaching.
Below are some tips and ideas from the two aforementioned leaders on real strategies you can use to become a culturally responsive education and utilize practices of multicultural education.
1. Know your students.
Of course this is a given, but Dr. Goodin expressed that knowing about the background and culture of your students is crucial to building the relationship you want so that students can achieve. Ask them questions about their culture. Find moments to have students share. In order to build achievement, you have to build respect for who your students are.
2. Analyze Jacob Lawrence's paintings.
Ayers notes that Lawrence's famous paintings can provide fruitful discussion about African American culture, depiction and historical representations. Art is a great tool to engage in critical conversations about race.
3. Have students create a slang dictionary.
Ayers also suggested that slang is a great window culture. I have actually done this with my students. It can provide an opportunity for students not only to share their culture with each, but create their own. It honors their knowledge about their own cultures and empowers them by letting them know, your ideas matter. Example: Scrapper (n): a low riding Buick or Cadillac, that has an amazing sound system.
4. Use the standards as your framework and then find opportunities to embed multicultural ideas, literature, and materials.
Embedded multicultural education should be the focus, noted Dr. Goodin. Start with you learning targets and see what possibilities there are to engaging in multicultural themes, literature and more. That's the best part of standards in my opinion, they are just the start. Let's go beyond standards to create great multicultural classroom discourse.
5. Get them going with teen poetry competitions.
Ayers mentioned the documentary Louder than a Bomb, which chronicles the journey of a high school team through competitions. At the conference, we were even privilege by students from a local high school demonstrating their own. Inspiring. It is a great opportunity to build literacy skills and honor student voice. Students have amazing stories to tell, let them tell them.
6. Controversy is coming to you. Teachers often spend time closing it off.
I think that Ayers, like Dr. Goodin, was trying to express that becoming a multicultural educator is not as hard as it seems. Subjects, issues and controversy are all around us. Allow it into the classroom. Students are already talking or thinking about them. Use it to engage students in conversations on culture.
7. Don't ask permission.
I appreciate Dr. Goodin's authenticity with her statement. When you do what is right, you don't ask permission. At the same time, if you are going to engage in controversy or potential courageous conversations, find and recruit allies in administration. In fact, there may be policies in place at the district level that protect you.
All in all, I left inspired to continue my work as a multicultural educator and scholar. Just remember, it is not as hard as you think. Culture encompasses so much of who we are, and can easily be leveraged in the classroom learning. If we seek to know our students and truly value them, our classrooms in turn will reflect it in practice.

Being able to recognize customer and prospect relationships that extend beyond the traditional definition of a household is often difficult. This is because most marketing databases gather only individual, account or household information.
Yet, the influence that an extended family member can have on the purchasing decisions of your customers and prospects is often significant. This situation – particularly the lack of acquisition tools to help recognize and appropriately communicate with these high value stakeholders – has prevented many marketers from expanding their markets.
Influencing the influencers
The key to addressing this challenge is to reach extended family members that often make decisions that impact not only themselves, but other generations as well. Whether it is grandparents who invest in college savings for their grandchildren or adult children making long-term care choices for their parents, these extended family members are an important target for marketers. However, until recently, these influencers have been virtually unreachable.
That's why AccuData offers the Family Ties customer acquisition tool. It helps companies accurately and appropriately reach extended family members who may be involved in the purchase decisions of products and services – such as life insurance, education savings, and estate and inheritance planning services.

Open discussion group for Straight, Gay, Bi, Curious Men. MSI is "NOT a Place ... more
See All
My Communities
My Discussions
My Email Digests
Let me start by saying that I am not sure of the best place to ask the following so please forgive me if you feel I am in the wrong group. I mean no offense or ill will.
I am a 41 year old attractive woman who has been dating a much younger man 22 for almost two years now. We have up until recently been amazing together - personally and sexually. I never planned on this relationship that is for sure. At times it has been a challenge but 98% of the time I don't see a "boy" as some call it - we have taught each other so much and honestly I believe that if the roles were reversed and he was 41 and I 22 - not nearly as much grief would be dished out.
Here is the issue and I need and can only ask men this in seeking advice, understanding and hopefully help.
In January of this year my fiance and I were not living together due to circumstances beyond control. Our apartment would not be ready until mid-May. My fiance mentioned that a friend of his asked him about going to the hot tubs (this friend of his is a 34 year old man), I told him I didn't think it was a good idea. (let me say I am neither for or against same sex relationships - have been around them my entire life, but I am old fashion as some would say when for me it is male/women relationships) He agreed with me, but in the end made plans to go to the hot tubs with this guy. My fiance made a comment about having to swing by his place to get shorts and the man suggested going naked.
They went to the hot tubs. I found out that they were both naked, and this man was massaging my fiance's feet, back, legs and according to my fiance this man grabbed onto his erection as this was his first time in a hot tub and stroked him a couple times prior to my fiance moving his hand from his penis. I also learned that while this man also hard was rubbing my fiance's shoulders described about his rod riding my fiances crack.
Here is the issue - my fiance has tried to understand how and why he ended up there - we have now gone through 3 sessions of counseling and I still feel that my fiance needs to figure himself out. He is in the Army Reserves. He works nights at a factory. The conversation between the two of them expresses each of them telling the other not to tell anyone about it. They went a second time that I know of.
Both of them claim they are straight - they are not gay or bi. I am not sure how to understand this or how to help him.
I found out by accident through 8 pages of instant messages and then made phone calls to both my fiance and to this other man. I am heart broken, confused and don't know what to think.
I know for me if anyone came onto me they would not like my reaction. I don't know if his stories change because he is dealing with it and doesn't know himself.
Ugh, hopeless is how I feel at the moment.
He willfully went to this place with his friend and willfully went into the tub naked.
IMHO, he is playing with fire and unfortunately you will be the one who gets burned.
You can continue with your counseling, but be prepared.
A key element for you may be your age differences. At the age both of you are at now each is both according to the textbooks at your peak of sexuality and therefore would make a tremendous pair physically. Your guy being in his early 20s hasn't had the time you have to figure out exactly who he is and how he fits in and probably hasn't figured out exactly where he is on the opposite sex to same sex attraction continuum. He may have some feelings which are strange to both of you and he needs first to learn what they are and then what to do about them. That's where it's great that you're having counseling. Is he looking for anything more in the same sex area than some good-natured sexual horsing around with a buddy? Is he looking for a long-term relation ship with another guy? And if he does want to maintain some horsing around, is that something which you can be comfortable with and can you build a stable relationship and future with that as part of it?
Members of a couple do have activities and evenings with friends of the same sex -- not unusual and a healthy part of life. Just how sexual that activity might be is something each couple would have to determine for itself.
So, don't feel you're hopeless! You may be with a wonderful guy who could make a perfect life partner. At least you're talking now and that's the key to a good relationship. I would suggest keeping on talking and include a counselor as you feel comfortable. See what's good for you and don't be trying to imagine what society at large, including your family and friends, might think. Each of us has a right to define our own plan for happiness. Good luck to you both!
I would said the only decision. You need to make is if you are willing to have an open sexual relationship with your fiance.
Grabbing and stoking a erect penis and naked massaging is cheating. EIGHT pages of talking about.
I wish you the BEST!!!! But why pay for sessions of counseling. AGE is ONLY a NUMBER
The reaction of your fiance, and to go for seconds he know what he likes. A few couples enjoy a second male in thier bed>>>><<<
Now, his friend was massaging him, made a move to rub his penis and had his erection in your boy friends butt crack. So, I am guessing this guy is probablt gay or bi. Your fiance can still hang out with him, but he needs to make it clean that there is nothing between them if you both want things just between you two. Talk it out and get back to a trusting relationship!
They are not going to simpathize with you because your fiance is cheating on you, that is what these guys here do everyday.
Just some advice.
They know it adultery if it is a male or female. It not that their wife would not undestand their need / want of a males for sex.
They know it would end with a divorce.
I wonder how many of these males would want their wife having lasciviously and passionate sex with another males.
Therefore expose him to support and provide for another man's children.
These wifes may need a straight male in their lives and BED.
Scarlett - from what you have told us, this Dude is still very young and has been in a steady relationship with you for 2 years. Accept that he does not have your emotional or sexual maturity and will want to find himself. Best will be to support him in this quest and if it is meant to be, your love and support will prevail. Just be warned that most men are still sexual juveniles up to the age of 25 and there-after stability in who they are is established. Of course there are exceptions - some mature earlier, but as a general rule this is the case.
My advice thus - let him be honest with YOU and not an intermediary. If you show understanding, sympathy and unconditional love he will open up more to YOU than a stranger. You will hear his side, as he perceives it, more honestly expressed than through a third party.Trust me, I know, also having / still having some issues from the past. In my case I am, regrettably, not as honest about my feelings to my partner as I could be, but that would have been different if she was not so blatantly prejudiced. In our situations, maybe strangely so, we WANT to discuss our issues with our better halves and not live with a 'dark' secret and no, talking about these issues, do NOT imply he has gay or bi inclinations - it is merely an attempt to also understand himself.
Keep us posted!
I agree that when you are in a steady relationship it is most definitely NOT ok to ****** around, except if BOTH parties are into it and do it TOGETHER. Also old fashioned in that repect.
BUT, judges of man, how many of you watch porn or see a pretty girl and imagine her naked? Imagining it is as bad as doing it - in your subconsious you were already been unfaithful.
Come on - be true to yourselves - it is only NORMAL, unless you are annointed saints.
Makes you think, doesn't it??? I am not a hypocrite - I have been around the block and know from first hand experience what I talk about and I choose NOT to judge others.
This forum is open to all. WE have joined it because WE "want" to contribute to the discussion. The goal, being able to exchange a wide range of sexual topics. To share experiences, stories, ideas from all points. Letting men open up to express thoughts or feeling. It is Not limited to what you can post as subjects,
WE all are men, willing to share each other's experience. But not to encourage them to follow a path that may end in destroying their life. But to encourage them to enjoy a life they are able to judge themselves. Then say "Well Done".
...Not say I am going to tell on you" because I disagree!!!
I love reading these posts but don't believe in man playing God - if merely advisory of nature, by all means go for it, but I, for one, will NOT tell anybody that he is doing wrong and heading for disaster - I will warn him of the pitfalls and dangers I forsee, but not that he is wrong - with such an inclination I do not agree.
As for you HairyD and Gymrat 44, you are experienced wise old owls, and I LOVE and APPRECIATE your posts - just wanted us not to scare off the Lady - surely we can come up with better adcice?
Hey HairyD, what about an owl as your profile picture? And I mean it in the nicest of terms.
My day job requires I help you resolve problems and suggest improvements.
An owl's behavior of watching and patiently waiting when hunting its prey.
All owls are carnivorous birds of prey and most are
solitary and nocturnal ,.a sinister bird only hunting at night when only evil spirits and witches were abroad -LOL
I got ears big, the better to listen. eyes big, the better to see. My head. packed with wisdom is not all that I am packing.
It not a bad idea to remember the times in nusery school.
A wise old owl lived in an oak
The more he saw the less he spoke
The less he spoke the more he heard.
Why can't we all be like that wise old bird
Are you saying I am a old bird?
What happened to Ms Scarlett - did all these birds scare her off???

The Impeccable Pig is coming to Cameron Village.
The store, which features clothing and accessories for women, comes from the mother-daughter team of Laura Robbins and Jenny Correa of Dallas.
The first store opened in Texas in 2002. After opening six Pigs in the Lone Star state, they decided to expand their range adding a store in Charleston and then last fall in Charlotte.
The Cameron Village store, scheduled to open in early April, will be near Uniquities and Sugarland.
But the Pig is only a small piece of the changes ahead at the Raleigh shopping center.
Opulence of Southern Pines, which sells fine bed and bath linens, opens April 6 in the space now occupied by Wardrobe.
Bassett Custom Shop opens this spring in the space thats now home to Thompson-Lynch Co. Thompson-Lynch is moving to Whitaker Mill at Atlantic Avenue. The Bassett Custom Shop is a prototype for the Virginia-based furniture maker. The store offers custom upholstery and a design shop. Its the outgrowth of the companys partnership with HGTV.
Cameron Spa & Nail Salon has doubled its space by moving into a new location near Baskin Robbins. It opens in its new location in February. Its former space near Maupin Travel will be taken by European Wax Center last this spring.
Work is also under way to lease some retail in the Gallery, the 300-unit apartment complex opening this spring. One of the first retailers signed is Brixx Pizza.
Café de los Muertos, a coffee roaster that specializes in serving responsibly sourced beans, signed a 6-year lease for space in the Hue apartment building on West Hargett Street in downtown Raleigh. In addition to brewing its own beans, the café will offer goods from other local roasters and food artisans. The café is slated to open this summer.
Majestic Marble and Glass Co., with headquarters in Youngsville, is opening a showroom at Plantation Point Shopping Center in North Raleigh. The grand opening is scheduled for April 1.
Bia, the latest restaurant from the Hibernian Company, opened in December on the first floor of Solas.
Its hosting its grand opening on Feb. 8 as a charity dinner to benefit the Wake County Chapter of the Firefighters Burned Children Fund. Ten percent of the nights proceeds will go to the fund. The restaurant plans to host a charity dinner every month.
And finally, a closing. After 15 1/2 years in business, Fuquay Sports Shop is closing on Broad Street in Fuquay-Varina. Its owners are retiring to Asheville.

I will be interested to see how good the movie turns out.
Just saw this teaser trailer for the first time today.
Looks interesting.
I will be interested to see how good the movie turns out.
I've had really high hopes for this.
I rarely make it to the theater since my son has been born, but this is coming out just two days before my birthday so I've been planning to see it. However I'm starting to hear whispers about it not being very good.
I hope this isn't the case, it has a wonderful cast and I would hate to see Disney's tent pole film flop two years in a row. *cough*John Carter*cough*
I just saw that the running time of Oz is 2 1/2 hours, anybody hear if that accurate or in the ball park?
Some people are like Slinkies.
They aren't really good for anything,
but they still bring a smile to my face when I push them down a flight of stairs.
Friends are Gods way of apologizing to us for our families.
Well, they seem to be marketing the living bejeebus out of this film. So they've got that point covered.
And it's usually the over-hype that starts getting me a bit worried. Trouble is, they've hyped it and then hyped it again, and still haven't really told what the heck the movie is about. The commercials seem to be more for the effects than the story itself.
Still, my wife is a big fan of the Wizard of Oz, so I think I'll probably be seeing this one anyway.
The witch in the fire scene looks really cool, but the rest of it seems more meh the more I see it. But, I'm a fantasy sci-fi fan, so I'm pulling for it to be good.
I'll probably give it a shot, which is more than I can currently say about The Hobbit. And I was a huge fan of the original trilogy.
This ad is driving me crazy. My 2 year old loves the Disney app on the Roku and this ad is played every 5-10 minutes.

I noticed your name while looking for the Catherine Morrison who was mentioned in a lawsuit over my ancestor John Calvin Cates' estate. John C was father-in-law of my ancestor Nancy (Willis) Cates, whose mother was Catherine Willis - this involves Clay, Buchanan, Platte, DeKalb, Worth & Gentry counties in MO. Is there any chance we have a connection?

I just got back from vacation in Venice.... two days too early. My husband and I left a four days ago supposed to stay for a week but we had to leave early because my back was hurting so bad. It was like my spine was grinding on itself. I felt so bad, I don't think my husband was mad at me but I knew it was my pain that was keeping him from having a good time on vacation he so desperately needed after such a rough time at work. I went to the doctor yesterday in Tampa Florida and scheduled my surgery for two days from today! It is a minimally invasive arthroscopic surgery clinic, where the incision is only an inch long and all "fusion-like" procedures are done with small lasers rather than blades. The recovery time is insignificant only a day at most and I will be ready to be out and about again so soon. I just wanted to tell you guys since I was posting here earlier and if you have any questions, just ask.
Please understand what you are having done before you let a surgeon touch you. What type of surgery are you having and what is it supposed to accomplish? I am not sure what "fusion-like" procedure is. If you are having a microdiskectomy, they are often done from a very small incision but fusions require a much larger incision because of the hardware.
Please also understand if you are having a fusion, they are not designed to reduce pain but designed to stabilize your spine. If your pain is less, all the better but fusions are considered successful even if they do not relieve pain.
Please be sure you ask the surgeon exactly what they plan on doing and what it is supposed to accomplish before they wheel you off. Once they work on you, there is no going back.
I am not saying any of this to be mean or not be sympathetic but I am not sure you have realistic expectations for your surgery or even fully understand what they are doing.
But it is VERY EXPENSIVE! It is like the Cancer Center Treatments of America to cancer patients. It is out of network and they have four surgical sites across the US that you have to travel to for the surgery. But they have many consultation centers in most US states and have seminars perioidically.
They also do laminectomies, fusion-like surgeries, and scar tissue removal amongst other things. I am highly considering footing the bill for it. I am back to the point of not being able to make it work because of the nerve pain. It would probably cost me $10,000 to $30,000 out of pocket depending on what I have done. I just can't come to terms of the enormous risk associated with traditional fusions. Their website is www.laserspineinstitute.com
I am interested in what others have to say regarding their technique.
I wrote a longer reply that didn't post. So in summary I wanted to say that I just started researching the laser spine institute yesterday. I am in so much pain right now. I have been told I need a two level lumbar fusion from L4 to S1. I told them flat out no way because if I end up completely disabled and unable to work that would be devastating to my family as I am the sole breadwinner. They told me a discectomy at the L4-L5 level would at least get the disc tissue off of my nerve roots from the ruptured disc. I wanted to wait 1-2 years as I am 6 months post op. I hate general anesthesia and how it makes me feel afterwards. I don't like being pumped with that propofol stuff at all!!!
My meds and epidural steroid injections eliminated my pain by about 95-98% until Wed. afternoon. The pins and needles sensation came back in my right leg and I have pulsating throbbing just below the left knee and in my buttocks, hips, and lower back which all of those areas are burning as well. My last epidural injection was at the end of April and I can't get another one until August! That is a long time to wait given that my meds are not covering the pain either!
I feel a little better today. I apply a fresh Fentanyl patch this evening and I pray that it brings the pain back down. I have been out of work on FMLA disability leave since Thurs. and I think not having to bend and twist in the bathroom to get ready for work has helped. I plan on requesting a permanent work from home schedule when I am able to make it back in there in hopes I can control it better given the flexibility.
I will definitely research the Bonati Institute. I don't know where I will land...laser surgery or conventional discectomy surgery under general anesthesia. But I need to get consistency and FAST!
Please let us know how your surgery goes. Wishing you the best.
One person had two arteries severely severed by the laser and after he got up from the procedure and said he didn't feel well they told him to hurry up and get dressed so he could leave. He ended up passing out and woke in a nearby hospital - he almost bled to death!!
The have had cases where the spinal cord was accidently punctured. There was another case where one person had to have an emergency 3 level fusion after the endoscopic spine procedure went bad. And they were once cited for using un-sterile equipement.
These are all cases of people that ended up filing malpractice lawsuits. I uncovered that the Bonati institute is a little better in terms of reputation but not too far from the unethical practices at the Laser Spine Institute.
The procedure itself is great if done right and for some conditions of the spine but not all. Many weren't told this and the procedure made them worse. The procedure could have more successful outcomes if they weren't rushing around and having less than stellar doctors performing the procedures (one patient said that her doctor looked impaired and later on the patient did a county search and found that he was arrested for a DUI three weeks after the procedure).
They spend $100,000 per month advertising on Google, which is why their adds pop up so frequently. They want $15K to $30K down initially with reinbursement afterwards and many people never got reinbursed what they were supposed to.
To each their own, but for me, I am going to pursue (very slowly and cautiously) a laminectomy/discectomy through the teaching hospital that does all of my other spine treatments.
Mellycooper, please update us on how you are doing! I am thinking about you and I hope things went well and that you are doing okay.
It is so great to hear from you and to hear that you had great results from the Bonati Institute. I haven't given up hope with the laser spine institute. They have been trying to call me for the past two days and I keep missing their calls. I am going to keep my phone glued to me tomorrow though. I did read that there was only 15 malpractice suits out of 7500 which isn't horribly bad otherwise they wouldn't still be in business. There are risks with all procedures, right? Some are more riskier than others...for sure.
It is truly great to hear that you are feeling better and that endoscopic spine surgery worked for you! On the voicemail, they told me that my insurance checked out and that they have great news! I sure hope they do! I plan to think it over until late July and decide then. I wish the Bonati Institute had more facilities...they only have one in FL which is too far for us. If I decide on endoscopic spine surgery, we will be driving to the surgical facility in Scottsdale, AZ.
Please keep me posted on how your recovery is doing. I know you must be on cloud 9 right now. I sure would be. I'll keep you posted on my pursuits as well. You know, I didn't think seriously about laser surgery until I saw your post. Now I am seriously considering it.
You take care and try to take it easy for at least 2 weeks is what I read.
Medical facilities are OK to talk about. We just do not allow members to recommend doctors by name. Thank you for this important reminder Dave.

SEGUIN -- Roughly 30-percent of bees in North America die off each year. One factor may be the toxic pesticides used on crops.
A coalition of beekeepers and environmental groups has filed a lawsuit against the Environmental Protection Agency for allowing the registration of those toxic chemicals to continue.
San Antonio beekeeper Mark Gretchen said there are many hazards to bee husbandry — from mites and parasites to Texas drought conditions.
Gretchen has a few new queens in his life, and he's introducing them to millions of his friends in hives that dot the Guadalupe County landscape.
"Over about a week's time the hive will become accustomed to her scent, and be more likely to accept her," Gretchen said, as he placed one of the queens into a hive.
Gretchen makes local honey and helps local farmers by providing the insects needed to pollinate their crops.
"It's been estimated that about two-thirds of our food that we have in our home comes from bees: squash, cantaloupes, lots of berries and almonds come from bees," Gretchen said.
Gretchen said the buzz in the beekeeping world is the lawsuit filed on March 21. The suit against the EPA targets clothianidin and another compound, thiamethoxam, which are in the class of pesticides known as neonicotinoids.
These chemicals are taken back to the hive through the collected pollen. The pesticide residue can poison the queen and hurt the bees homing ability.
"If you think about it, a pesticide is supposed to kill bugs. Unfortunately it kills good bugs along with the bad ones," Gretchen said.
According to the suit, more than 100 million acres of farms and orchards are sprayed with the toxic chemicals.
The suit contends that when bees are killed, it can affect the production of certain fruits and vegetables, which can drive up consumer prices. Honey prices have increased 50-percent since 2008.
"Bees are more expensive and more difficult to maintain year to year. And those prices are just being passed along," said Gretchen.
Bayer CropScience, the maker of clothianidin, is defending its pesticide, saying when used properly, the impact on bees is negligible.

Posted Friday, September 14, 2012 --- 7:40 a.m.
Here is the latest Wisconsin news from The Associated Press:
FOND DU LAC, Wis. (AP) -- Two people died and two others were injured last night when a suspected drunken driver crossed the center line of a Fond du Lac County highway. A man and a woman were pronounced dead at the scene of the crash on Highway 45 just north of the Washington County line. A 10-year-old girl in their car was seriously injured.
MILWAUKEE (AP) -- A Milwaukee police officer was shot in the leg early this morning during a struggle with a suspect. The 24-year-old officer's expected to recover.
MADISON, Wis. (AP) -- A judge will hold a hearing today to consider whether to throw out a lawsuit challenging the use of dogs in this winter's wolf hunt. A group of humane societies filed the lawsuit last month alleging the Department of Natural Resources failed to restrict dog training and use in the hunt, which could lead to deadly dog-wolf encounters. The DNR wants the suit dismissed.
HORICON, Wis. (AP) -- The Horicon National Wildlife Refuge has six new residents: whooping crane chicks. The birds will be released this fall with older birds that will lead them to Florida this winter. The chicks range in age from 12 to 15 weeks and are being cared for by biologists who wear bird costumes.

- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Grease a cookie sheet.
- In a large bowl, mix together oil, sugar, eggs, and molasses. In another bowl, combine flours, baking powder, ginger, cinnamon, cloves, and nutmeg; mix into egg mixture to form a stiff dough.
- Divide dough in half, and shape each half into a roll the length of the cookie. Place rolls on cookie sheet, and pat down to flatten the dough to 1/2 inch thickness.
- Bake in preheated oven for 25 minutes. Remove from oven, and set aside to cool.
- When cool enough to touch, cut into 1/2 inch thick diagonal slices. Place sliced biscotti on cookie sheet, and bake an additional 5 to 7 minutes on each side, or until toasted and crispy.

These were pretty darn good. With a couple changes, the texture came out just perfect; they weren't too crunchy or too soft as other reviewers have stated. First, I replaced the oil with butter. I make a few different kinds of biscotti, and I've never seen a recipe call for oil. I figured the butter would be tastier. Second, to ensure a crucnchy yet not-too-hard texture, I mixed the ingredients according to most biscotti recipes I've tried. I mixed all the dry ingredients, incuding the sugar. Then I cut the butter into the dry ingredients until the mixture resembled course crumbs. In a seperate bowl, I lightly beat the eggs and the molasses together. I added this to the dry mix. I mixed this concoction until it was just combined. No overmixing! The dough should still be crumbly. I divided the dough in half and formed them into their log shapes on the cookie sheets. It's still pretty crumbly at this point, but it all firms up when you bake it. This looser dough allows the biscotti to cook up crunchy without being dense or hard. I think that's the reason some people ended up with tough cookies. You have to keep the dough kinda loose. Anyway, when I finsihed the baking process, I dipped them in white chocolate. Deliciousness.
This is a good recipe after I changed a few things from what other reviewers have said and from other biscotti recipes I use. I used 6 T marjarine instead of oil. I omitted the whole wheat flour and ended up using about 4 cups white flour to get the right consistancy. I also added a teaspoon vanilla and used 3 1/2 t. Pampered Chefs Cinnamon Plus instead of all the seasonings, it's just easier as it has all of them in it. Next I divided into 3 logs and rolled them in Raw sugar mixed with a little cinnamon then flattened them. It gave it a nice look after baking. The easiest way to make biscotti is to bake on a Pampered Chef Bar stone(yes there is a difference in stones) They won't burn and when you bake the 2nd time, you just stand them up about 1/2 inch apart and don't have to flip them. I'm not sure if I will do any white chocolate on them or not. They do look pretty the way they are.
this may be the best biscotti I have ever had! I followed the recipe exactly (even the cooking time) and they came out perfectly. I don't know why some others had so much trouble. The dough wasn't sticky at all. Even my 6 year old had one with milk tonight and loved it! This is a keeper. Thanks so much Christina!

The Northeastern State women's basketball team grinded out a 56-48 victory over Missouri Southern State Wednesday night inside Jack Dobbins Field House.
The RiverHawks (17-6, 12-3 MIAA) kept pace atop the league race, while the Lions (11-11, 5-9 MIAA) have now lost eight of their last nine contests.
The green and white was led in scoring by senior guard Tosha Tyler's 17 points. Running mate Taylor Lewis added 13 as NSU struggled to a 17-for-48 (35 percent) shooting night. The team made 35 percent (9-for-26) from distance and 62 percent (13-for-21) at the charity stripe.
MSSU did not have a starter in double figures, and the team was led in scoring by reserve Johnna tenBerge. She finished with 14 points, and fellow reserve Erin Rice followed with 11 points.
The Lions shot 32 percent (17-for-53) from the field, 32 percent (7-for-22) from beyond the arc and just 41 percent (7-for-17) at the free-throw line.
Both teams committed 14 turnovers, and MSSU outrebounded NSU 39-36.
Tyler drilled a three on NSU's opening possession, and the green and white quickly built a 9-3 advantage.
A three-point basket from sophomore guard Chelsey Stricklen at 8:28 pushed Northeastern State's lead out to 23-10, but Missouri Southern State used a 21-4 run over the next six minutes to take a 31-27 lead.
Senior forward Sarah Green was able to score the last four points of the first half for the home side to ensure a 31-31 stalemate at intermission.
Both teams came out cold in the second half, as the first point did not come until 12:50 remained in the contest.
Rice made a free throw to stop the bleeding, but Tyler gave the RiverHawks the lead for good with a triple on their next possession.
MSSU stayed close over the course of the next few minutes, and trailed by just three at 43-40 with 4:17 to play. Lewis canned a trey at 3:36 to put NSU ahead by six, and in the blink of an eye the RiverHawks found themselves ahead 52-42 with 1:52 left.
The deficit proved too costly for the Lions, as the home side was able to hold on for the hard-fought eight-point victory.
NSU (men) 77, Mo. Southern 73
The Northeastern State men's basketball team collected a 77-73 victory over Missouri Southern State Wednesday night inside Jack Dobbins Field House.
The RiverHawks (17-6, 10-5 MIAA) completed the season sweep over MSSU, while the Lions (11-11, 6-8 MIAA) saw their recent two-game win streak snapped. One of those wins included a victory over league-leader Central Missouri.
Junior guard Bryton Hobbs led NSU with 23 points, six assists and five rebounds in 40 minutes of action. Senior guard Ethan Anderson contributed 14 points, and senior forwards Jermaine Bransford and John Schneider poured in 13 and 11, respectively. Schneider also added nine rebounds.
Northeastern State shot a blistering 48 percent (30 of 63) from the field but only 18 percent (3 of 17) from downtown and 67 percent (14 of 21) at the line.
Missouri Southern State countered with a 44-percent shooting clip (23 of 52), 42 percent (8 of 19) from distance and 73 percent (19 of 26) at the charity stripe.
Jordan Talbert paced the visitors with 21 points and 10 rebounds. Marquis Addison poured in 18 points, reserve Stephen Atkinson contributed 15 and Cameron Cornelius added 11.
The RiverHawks dominated the points in the paint (42-14), points off turnovers (18-6) and second-chance points (17-8). NSU turned the ball over just eight times, while the Lions coughed up the rock on 13 occasions.
Neither team led by more than four points in the first half. There were eight ties and six lead changes in the first 20 minutes of action, and NSU carried a slim 35-34 advantage into the break.
Missouri Southern State tied the contest at 37-37 early in the second, but NSU used an 8-0 run to take the largest lead of the game of 45-37 at the 16:15 mark.
The RiverHawks were unable to run and hide, however, as the visitors quickly rebounded and took a 58-56 lead with 11:14 left.
The lead flip-flopped a few more times down the stretch, but a Bransford jumper at 2:02 would give NSU a lead it would not relinquish.
In a game that saw 14 lead changes and 12 ties overall, it was a final 8-3 run by Northeastern State that proved to be the difference in the four-point victory for the home side.
The RiverHawks will now travel to Pittsburg State for a 3:30 p.m. tip Feb. 16.

This is the first time I've found makeup interesting
Here's an interesting post on the science behind "SmartShade" foundations, which are marketed as having the magical ability to match your skin tone. How do they work? Spoilers: They don't. But the article is still worth reading for the science lesson behind the deception. Speaking of which, tell me again how these things can be …

How to make guys like you
Here that, ladies and gentlemen? Nerds = awesome to date. …Now, if only I knew how to find the cute godless nerds in Seattle – I think we're all too busy hiding in our apartments reading blogs and playing video games to actually run into each other. What a conundrum.

Ok, some things don't change
From my Xanga in 2001, whining about no boys liking me (yes, I was a typical 13 year old): Maybe I should just become a nun or something. … Wait, I don't even go to church or believe that hoo-ha. Hehe.

Oh, how things change
I rediscovered my old Xanga blog the other day. Most of my entries are from age 13 to 15*, so it's both painful and hilarious to read. For example, I found a post where I was whining about fashion – nothing new there, I suppose, but I loved this line from 2003 (bolded): None of …

I'm going to NYC for a magazine photoshoot!
Please excuse me while I get some stereotypically girly glee out of my system: SQUUUUEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!…Okay, I'm still insanely excited, so forgive me while I flail for a post. I was contacted by More Magazine about doing an interview for their piece on "Young Feminists." More is an American woman's lifestyle magazine targeted towards the 40+ …

Haircuts, irrationality, and girliness
I chopped off 10 inches of hair today.I swear it looks better than that photo. My camera is literally falling apart (the duct tape is failing), so taking a good picture was difficult. Anyway, I'm relieved to have it cut. Starting when I was about 11, I've gone through a cycle of cutting my hair …

I now have my official atheist chick bling
I'm not typically into jewelry, but when I saw Surly-Ramics, I knew I needed one. Surly Amy (who's also a Skepchick) is a wonderful artist who produces awesome skeptical, atheist, and science themed jewelry (amongst other things). I had been lurking on Etsy, waiting for the perfect color, but I finally found exactly what I …

Is there anything sadder than a half-full container of sour cream or yogurt, sitting forlornly in the refrigerator and waiting to reach its best used by date?
Yes, actually, there is. You can always put a few spoonfuls of sour cream on baked potatoes. The yogurt can be eaten for breakfast, with fruit or cereal. The saddest container in my refrigerator has always been half-filled with ricotta cheese. Inspiration struck one morning when I noticed the words whole milk on my ricotta container. I use milk when making cakes, so why not substitute some ricotta cheese?
If the idea of cheese in your cake seems wrong, remember that ricotta isnt actually cheese. It is made with whey left over from the cheesemaking process, recooked (thus its name) with some acid until small curds form. With more character than milk but less character than sour cream, it can add fresh, creamy flavor to a cake without too much tartness.
For my experiment, I chose a not-too-sweet cake recipe that can be put together in minutes and pulled out of the oven before everyone else wakes up.
Cornmeal gives the cake some color and crunch. The ricotta lends it moisture and mild dairy flavor.
I kept it simple this time, dusting the top of the cake with confectioners sugar. But I might add a streusel topping if I was serving it to houseguests. Id cut up 4 tablespoons of butter and then use my fingers to work them into a mixture of 1/4-cup sugar, 1/4-cup flour and 1/4-cup yellow cornmeal until crumbs form. Then Id freeze the crumbs while I made the cake batter, sprinkling them on top just before putting the cake into the oven.
Makes 9 servings.
3/4 cup whole-milk ricotta cheese, room temperature
2 large eggs
1 1/2 cups unbleached all-purpose flour
1 cup sugar
1/2 cup yellow cornmeal
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
2 teaspoons finely grated lemon zest
1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, melted and cooled
1 cup fresh blueberries, picked over
Preheat the oven to 375 degrees. Spray an 8-inch square baking pan with nonstick cooking spray. Whisk together ricotta and eggs in a large glass measuring cup. Whisk together flour, sugar, cornmeal, baking powder, baking soda and salt in a large bowl.
Add ricotta mixture and lemon zest to bowl with flour mixture. Stir with a spatula until moistened (it will be lumpy). Stir in butter until incorporated. Stir in blueberries.
Scrape batter into prepared pan and smooth top with a spatula. Bake until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into center comes out clean, 25 to 30 minutes.
Let cool in pan 5 minutes, invert onto a wire rack, and then turn right side up to cool slightly.
