MAY 9.1928 PRICE, 10 CENTS ________________*��_________________ TWO FAIR DAYS GIFT OF THE GODS Unprecedented Success of This May Day Caused by Spontaneity. Campus at its best A good two days they were; some unkngwn god of chance deserves a rather tremendous burnt offering. The campus quivered at perfewion. for a brief mo- ment each spring there is this perfection, but it was a sheer miracle to have it achieved this year on the exact, two days of May Day, to have the sun fining to give the right tone and color to the achievement. Everything was new and alive. From the silly green fuzz on the slopes about -Goodhart to the ven slightly, ini.re mature cherry and dogwood blossoms, it .was all fresh and spontaneous. And so was the performance. Every dancer on the green seemed really to be having a good time; the plays completely lacked the artificial formality which usually falls like a pall.on dramatic productions of any sort. People in costume wandered about the green, lolled under the treei. drank from bottles, drifted among the spectators. Clothes were not 'treated with the deferential stiffness usually ac- corded to theatrical costumes; they were worn unself-consciously, treated with easy familiarity. Even at the last per- formance, after-a hot. hard day, there was a spontaneous enthusiasm and in- formality about the whole thing. Audiences Variously Enthusiastic. This fresh spontaneity was what made the 1928 May Day the rare and perfect achievement that it was. All the ex- ternal detail* were carefully correct and finished but the inner spirit, something on which BO director can count ahead of time; the spirit was what caused the unprecedented success. The audience felt this. "The real spirit of Elizabethan England", said one authority. What higher tribute could be given? Large and enthusiastic audiences they were too; larger and more enthusiastic on Satur- day than on Friday of course. No one afterwards sec;.. ' "'"' � �,-;->'>.-i'^J whai- had �been the best part of tin- per- formance. Some liked the pageant best, others the Green; the different plays all had their,unquenchable enthusiasts. All agreed that the May Queen could not have been more charming, and that there had never been a better Robin JHood. Yes, it was all a huge and overwhelm- ing success.. Bigger crowds than on any other May Day he had seen, said Mr. Dougherty; the best May Day since 1010 was the definite comment of many'others. From the beginning to the end it ran off smoothly. Of course there were a few behind- the-scenes incidents. The Robin Hood cast nearly, had convulsions of agony when the horse of Sir Richard of the Leas reared so that it all but toppled over backwards. The good knight stuck on mpst nobly, however, and the audience went into convulsions of admiration and joy. Nor did the spectators who saw the pageant swing by the grandstand in perfect formation know of the frenzied flight that took place in back of Merion. Proud gods and goddesses humiliated, clutching their shields and helmets, cling- ing to the backs of wagons, lifting their classic draperies for the mad dash. Things like these were strictly in the family, and the"'general public saw only the ivory smooth exterior. AMrs. Collins. Miss Applebee, Mr. King, and Miss Palache deserve to have beds of roses suspended in the semi-vacuum which has followed the passing of the year's big occasion. They all gave a great deal to the college, but the college also gave a great deal to them. The May Day committee should consider as its greatest achievement the surprising and surprised enthusiasm of the under- graduates, for the genuine enthusiasm with which the college found itself cheer- ing the crowning of the May Queen was indirectly a tremendous tribute to the committee. An Explanation The attention of the college has for the past month been focused upon itself. By concentration in- ward we have built up a^great lUCj cess. But now, before the renewed* intensity of exams, it is time to relax, to expand, and turn our attention outward. The College News therefore takes tins oppor- tunity to print some of the infor- mation which it has been accumu- lating about other colleges and the student world in general. We try to print what will l>e of -speciaf interest to the student body.: But we thinR it only fair .to state that we have also on file, and will pro- duce on demand, information con- . ceming Summer Courses for Foreign Students at the University of Gottingen, the International University Cruise. Near East Re- lief, Public Relations.o#*the East- ern Railroads, and various other matters. A Glance Outside College Papers Indicative of Spe- cial Campus Interests. After reading innumerable papers from almost innumerable colleges, we have come to the conclusion that the best way to comprehension of another college lies through its newspaper. Through fre- quent reading of that you can find out not only most of the external, the mechanical ' facts that lie concealed in the catalogue, but' also the more subtle things, such as the underlying spirit and character of the college* And of course the more you read, the better you under- stand. From a summary of the news items in a paper you see whaucvents are con- sidered important at that particular place, what matters are of greatest interest to its students. (We wish to say here, without any excuse or explanation, but just so as to say it before anyone else does, thaf the Ni:ws has often been j criticized for its preponderance of re-. ligious articles.) For example, in the Stanford Daily and the Daily Nebraskan a large number of columns are devoted I snorts, while in the McGill Daily and ' TSr*m3^J^^eT^re never! many articles on this subject, and sojne- times none at all�unless chess tourna- ments be included in sports. And of" course this does not mean that there are i no sports in the Canadian universities, or that there are no events other than sporting in the Western universities�it is merely an indication of interests. ' - Columns of Opinion Popular. In almost all of the papers there is a column for the expression of public opinion; that is. for letters commenting on college affairs. These columns, to- gether with the editorials reflect the thought�or lack of thought�of the stu- dent body, and its opinion of passing events, and existing institutions. Of course it very often happens that these letters are in criticism of some editorial comment on the part of the newspaper; this" fact gives the reader at least two pc lints of view on the subject, two angles for discussion. In many cases the edi- torials are concerned with college affairs alone, but in others, notably the Harvard, Crimson, the Yale Keivs,, The Daily Princclonian, and the Canadian papers mentioned above, there is always at least MM editorial of more than local interest. The Harvard and Princeton papers; have one feature that is unique in our knowledge of college newspapers. They publish, under the headings of The Stu- dent Vagabond and the Third Elective, lists of lectures. with their lecturers, which they consider of interest to the students generally. This could not help but be useful and interesting, specially in a large university, where the oppor- tunities for hearing unusual lectures is large. These two papers and the Yale News also issue a monthly literary sup- plement, consisting of book reviews and articles on literary matters. Most of. the other papers print occasional re- views-in their daily or weekly issues. CONTINUED ON PAGE 6 Crystal Bird Speaks on Possible Race Problem Miss Crystal Bird, one of the. Out- standing young leaders of t+ie colored! race, will speak here on Sunday evening ' at 8.1.') o'clock. Miss Bird comes to the; college under the combined auspices of j the Undergraduate Association and the fortner Chilian Association, through the oourtesy of the American Friends' Service Committee. The predominating purpose of this committee is "to create a better understanding between races, nations -and various groups of people. Realizing the deep need in American life for a more intelligent .understanding of the colored people, the Interracial Sec- tion of the American Friends' Service Committee is presenting Miss-Bird for speaking engagements." The subject of Miss Bird's talk will be: "Is There a Race Problem"? The relent C. A. questionnaires showed a widespread interest among the students in the race question. It is _a Problem which all thoughtful people should con- sider, and about which they should know something before --forming an opinion. Miss Bird is a�graduate of the Boston Normal School and has done graduate work at Teachers' College, Columbia University. She taught in the Boston Public Schools for three years and then Iwcame Secretary for Younger Colored Girls, Girl Reserve Department. -Na- tional Board of tiie Y. W. C. A. To most of us she is better known as a singer of Negro Spirituals than as a speaker. Hut her wide experience with both white and .colored groups equips lief in a remarkable way to interpret her people. "She speaks with great vivid- ness and with the utmost frankness, but without rancour or bitterness.-' Her elo- quence and power as a speaker and her personal charm have impressed everyone that*-has heard her.

To many people the purpose of this type' of work has been to find a means ol letting those students work rapidly who are capable of so doing. This has been true in many European and American universities. Here at Bryn Mawr, however, we need not take this idea into' account; the student body is unusually small, and proportionately few People go info very advanced work. It this were the sole reason "for adopt- ing the new plan, it would -probably -nut have been considcrd as a necessary addi- tion to our curriculum. Our Need for Honors Work. However, the Dean proceeded to point out the fact that there is a need, even here, to differentiate between the type of work that is- done by lower and upper- classmen. Freshmen are put immediately into classes with people who have had previous experience of tile lecture sys- tem, and they have little or no chance to become, accustomed to a form of work which is entirely different from the one with .which they have studied at school. On the other hand, students have become thoroughly used to the lecture system, by the end of their Sophomore year, anil they are prepared to go on with a more advanced type of work. The ideal of study is, of course, to see things as a whoje. and to connect up the work of the several semesters; it is hardly possible that this ideal may be attained under the presort system. A correlation of sub- jects is to be desired, and it is towards this new purpose .that the^ Honors work is hoped to reach. Dangers of Irresponsibility. There will be a great deal more indi- vidual work done under the new plan, and this element, in itself, has disadvan- tages. It presupposes a well-developed sense of responsibility on the part of the student; therefore we must be serious bl the experiment. "I hope," concluded the Dean, "that the students will lend as much initiative to the attempt as the fac- ulty, as it is only in this way that we can succeed wih Honors work." Dr. Gray on History Honor*. On Wednesday morning, April 25, Dr. CONTINUED ON PAGE S President's Report, 1927-1928. Committees Discussed.

In keeping with cutting is entirely under the manage- ment of the faculty. This is also the case at Swarthmore. where three cuts a semester'arc allowed for a three-hour course, two for a two-hour, etc. At Vassar the cuts are considered unlim- ited, but as each professor attends to the cuts in his classes the system varies, and some are stricter than others and take offense when a stiident is absent. At the University of .Wisconsin each depart- ment is responsible for the cuts taken by the student, and regulate them as they see fit. Freshmen at Mount Hol- yoke are supposed to obtain excuses for all absences, but. on the whole, the faculty takes little notice of cuts if the work is satisfactory. �An experiment is being tried at Prince- ton this year whereby seniors are given unlimited cuts for the second semester. If this works out well, the privilege may- be extended to all classes. Nearly all the women's colleges have rules pertaining to attendance on the days preceding and following vacations. In most colleges no cuts are allowed for twenty-four hours before and after, and at Vassar attendance is required at this time lor two days.

NEW WILMINGTON, Pa. - Westminster College's Department of Economics and Business will host an Alumni Panel for students Saturday, April 13, at the McKelvey Campus Center Lounge and Mueller Theater. Registration begins at 8:45 a.m.
The purpose of the event is to allow students to network and interact with alumni, broadening their understanding of hiring practices and professional development. Over twenty alumni will participate. Opening remarks will be made by Dr. Daniel Fischmar, economics and business professor, followed by two panel sessions students can choose from based on area of interest.
The first session includes a panel on accounting/finance with alumni Cody Donaldson `12 and Ryan Brucker `12, or government/non-profit with alumnus Lee Scott `07. The second session includes panels on business/entrepreneurship with Mark Drabick `10, or human resources/hiring with Scott. Brunch will be served between the two sessions. At the end of the panel students will be given an opportunity to participate in mock interviews, branding, and resume critique.
"This event is a great opportunity for students to meet dedicated Westminster alumni and start building the type of relationships that will help them land internships and full-time jobs," said Ben Nelson `06, a Youngstown, Ohio, native and a lead credit analyst with Moody's Corporation in New York City.
"It's a marvelous opportunity for students to network with professionals in their field and get their advice on resume writing and interviewing skills," Fischmar said.
The event is being coordinated by Fischmar, Nelson, Brucker, Donaldson, Drabick, Scott, and student Harry Bittle.
"Face time with experienced professionals in the business not only helps students establish a network of potential employers, it also helps establish a better internal relationship with the company they're interested in," Bittle said. "In a job market dominated by electronic resumes and online applications, having a face to face conversation with someone within the company can really bring your resume to the top of the list."
Bittle, a junior financial economics major, is a son of Robert and Marianne Bittle of Sicklerville, N.J., and a graduate of Winslow Township High School.
Contact Karen Coulter to register at (724) 946-7373 or email for more information.

Newsflash: Barry Callebaut focusses on convenience and premiumness at FIE - Dazzling decorations, smooth fillings and innovative inclusions
Wieze/Belgium, December 1, 2011 – Barry Callebaut continues to focus on convenience and premiumness with the launch of new confectionery decorations, fillings and inclusions at the FIE 2011. Désir, the delightful chocolate filling range with the smoothest bite, will ultimately change the world of fillings. Barry Callebaut's mini decorations Nibs, Vermicelli, CrisPearls™, Splitters and Blossoms, are small in size but big in style and beauty. Innovative inclusions close the range.
Smooth fillings
Barry Callebaut is proud to present Désir, the ultimate chocolate filling with the smoothest bite and the most delightful taste, comparable to an artisanal made ganache. The Désir filling range will help you to create superior chocolate applications, eventually with a personal touch, as they are the ideal interior for high-quality molded products.
Small in size, big in style and beauty
- The mini Vermicelli decorations have an incomparable taste thanks to the use of quality ingredients and are ideal to decorate pralines, cakes and plated desserts.
- For a festive and sophisticated chocolate touch, Barry Callebaut has created mini Blossoms. The irregular and handcrafted character of this decoration allows you to create special effects and highlights.
- Mini CrisPearls™ are made from the finest dark, milk and white chocolate around a crispy toasted biscuit kernel for an overwhelming taste sensation. They can be included in confectionery, ice cream, desserts and pastries for a tasty, crispy bite, or as a seductive, shiny decoration.
- Mini Splitters, shiny flat-shaped chocolate bits, provide an impressive look and taste e.g. to create a stracciatella effect in ice cream or to decorate truffles, pralines, cakes, desserts, cakes and roles.
- Mini Nibs, probably the most typical decorations for Barry Callebaut,are roasted kernels of the cocoa bean with a refined and intense taste, a mild and pleasant roasted bitterness and fruity notes. They offer a pleasant, mild crunch and enhance the artisanal and authentic character of your products.
Innovative inclusions
Barry Callebaut offers new possibilities when it comes to personalized inclusions. Your logo embossed three-dimensional in a real chocolate inclusion? We make your dreams come true!

1. If I know a person's full name, yes, I do Google him. Several times I -- or a friend -- have done that with some shocking results.
2. If I don't know the name, I listen and observe and maintian my autonomy in the relationship. Example, driving to a date on my own, only giving out my cellphone number, not the home phone.
3. Just because it's on FB doesn't mean it's true. I can name at least 5 folks I know who use a phony name on FB.
Perhaps I'm a bit trusting, but I really don't google people. This probably comes with most of my friends being people I've met IRL already and those internet friends I do have haven't ended up being bad people. When I facebook friend request people, sure it's nice when they have a lot out in the open for me to see and check with, but I actually prefer people have tight security where all I can see is their profile picture and a tiny bit of about information (such as location and school), it means they're alert on what changes facebook is making.
Either way googling me isn't going to do anyone any good, I have a common first name and while my last name isn't common for a last name at all, it's actually a pretty common word in its own right. Even using my full name "Rebecca" won't get you anywhere close to my internet footprint because I mostly leave it with my pen name. A quick google search of that proved nothing! I feel like a supersluth now, but my pen name's pretty common too, a few art and jewlery blogs, nothing about my writing at all. Probably if you knew the sites I frequented and my pen name you'd come up with something but very few people can actually put my pen name and my real name together.
I might at some point get curious enough to do a Google search, but it's only because I'm inherently nosy and not because I'm looking for some 'dirt' on him.
I do, however, know many women who have gotten some incredible 'dirt' by Googling..Court records and all that..Mostlly the men I have met have been exactly who they said they were.
I just googled myself with my location for kicks and giggles and then moved the link to my facebook page into inPrivate browsing so it would think I wasn't logged in. Can I just say how proud of my facebook security I am? You could see a few of my likes, my profile picture, my cover photo and that's it! The only other two things that pop up that are obviously connected to me (and not like Beka in one place and my last name in another) are Catholic Match and a comment my dad made on an article on FireRescue1 with a link to an article I wrote for his company about different map projections and stuff. I'm pretty proud of that article too, so I'm a happy camper!
I've had some trouble with foreign scammers before, so I always google a potential date. I would expect my future date to google me also. But, the real way to play it safe is to exchange several messages, and then phone conversations. There's nothing wrong with taking the time to get to know someone well before meeting them in person. I consider it a red flag if a potential date is impatient to get together.

It is amazing how selectively courts can read cases and how two very similar factpatterns can result in quite different renderings. I cited this very same argument in Brown v. Bowman, lost. I guess it is panel, panel, panel when one is on appeal. Sad thing is, I had Sykes. Same argument, she went the opposite. Her Rooker-Feldman jurisprudence is now decidedly unintelligible.
November, 2014, I was charged with OWI/Endangering a person. I was not given a Breathalyzer test and the arresting officer did not believe that alcohol was in any way involved. I was self-overmedicated with prescription medications. I was taken to local hospital for blood draw to be sent to State Tox Lab. My attorney gave me a cookie-cutter plea which amounts to an ALCOHOL-related charge. Totally unacceptable!! HOW can I get my TOX report from the state lab???
My mother got temporary guardianship of my children in 2012. my husband and I got divorced 2015 the judge ordered me to have full custody of all my children. Does this mean the temporary guardianship is over? I'm confused because my divorce papers say I have custody and he gets visits and i get to claim the kids every year on my taxes. So just wondered since I have in black and white that I have custody if I can go get my kids from my moms and not go to jail?
Someone off their meds? C'mon John, it is called the politics of Empire. Get with the program, will ya? How can we build one world under secularist ideals without breaking a few eggs? Of course, once it is fully built, is the American public who will feel the deadly grip of the velvet glove. One cannot lay down with dogs without getting fleas. The cup of wrath is nearly full, John Smith, nearly full. Oops, there I go, almost sounding as alarmist as Smith. Guess he and I both need to listen to this again: https://
Charles Rice was one of the greatest of the so-called great generation in America. I was privileged to count him among my mentors. He stood firm for Christ and Christ's Church in the Spirit of Thomas More, always quick to be a good servant of the King, but always God's first. I had Rice come speak to 700 in Fort Wayne as Obama took office. Rice was concerned that this rise of aggressive secularism and militant Islam were dual threats to Christendom,er, please forgive, I meant to say "Western Civilization". RIP Charlie. You are safe at home.

Swimming and a workout for the entire family using an exercise spa and hot tub – ThermoSpas
A new study by Dr. Joel M. Stager, University of Indiana, concluded that exercising in water actually slows the aging process by up to 20 percent. It provides benefits to respiration, muscle mass, bone density, cardiovascular activity and neurological functions. Though swimming offers many benefits, there are disadvantages of pool ownership, including: limited seasonal use, large space requirements, costly building code regulations, high degree of maintenance, expensive upkeep, and a detriment to the home's resale value. All have contributed to the slow growth in swimming pool sales. In response to these concerns, ThermoSpas engineers designed the revolutionary swim spa, called the Spa Trainer. Large enough to accommodate up to 12 adults, the Spa Trainer features a powerful current that allows you to swim endlessly, while the other side provides the ultimate hot tub experience.

Our third ONE by ONE Convention is quickly approaching.
Learn more >>
In 2012, people all across Jacksonville began to come together to talk about an issue that affects every citizen in our city: education.
Jacksonville was at a crossroads. Surveys showed that residents felt education is the most important issue facing Duval County, yet we faced ever-greater challenges to public schools. The residents of Jacksonville had to get involved and speak up to create a common vision for education in our city.
ONE by ONE started with an innovative art exhibit that lifted the faces and voices of 20 current or former students in Duval County Public Schools who faced great obstacles to getting their education.
The exhibit sparked the interest of more than 1,600 people who participated in 169 small-group conversations, identifing what issues matter the most in our public schools and posting the results of the conversations online.
Read a full report of who participated in the ONE by ONE conversations, and what they said.
Then, through delegates nominated from every part of the city, the people of Duval County spoke with ONE voice about their priorities for public education on Jan. 5, 2013.
Working together, the delegates voted on the top four priorities that emerged from the conversation data:
- Educate the whole child.
- High quality teachers and leaders.
- Policy and political reform.
- Family and caregiver involvement.
The delegates took these themes and turned them into this Community Agreement. NOW is the time to speak out and ensure that YOUR voice is heard in putting these ideas into action.
Take a look back at the Second Annual ONE by ONE Convention and learn how delegates plan to advance the community priorities.
ONE by ONE Delegates are passionate about public education, they're ready and willing to take action and advocate throughout the year. Delegates are community leaders, representing different perspectives and experiences. Join the effort to move public education forward! More than 1,090 pledges were made to take action on advancing the five combined ONE by ONE Community Agreement and School District Priorities. You can continue the efforts too.

Nephrocalcinosis is a disorder in which there is too much calcium deposited in the kidneys. This condition is common in premature babies.
Any disorder that leads to high levels of calcium in the blood or urine may lead to nephrocalcinosis. In nephrocalcinosis, calcium deposits form in the kidney tissue itself. Most of the time, both kidneys are affected.
Nephrocalcinosis is related to, but not the same as, kidney stones (nephrolithiasis).
Conditions that can cause nephrocalcinosis include:
Other possible causes of nephrocalcinosis include:
There are generally no early symptoms of nephrocalcinosis beyond those of the condition causing the problem.
People who also have kidney stones may have:
Later symptoms related to nephrocalcinosis may be associated with chronic kidney failure .
Nephrocalcinosis may be discovered when symptoms of renal insufficiency , kidney failure , obstructive uropathy, or urinary tract stones develop.
Imaging tests can help diagnose this condition. Tests that may be done include:
Other tests that may be done to diagnose and determine the severity of associated disorders include:
The goal of treatment is to reduce symptoms and prevent more calcium from collecting in the kidneys.
Treatment will involve methods to reduce abnormal levels of calcium, phosphate, and oxalate in the blood and urine.
If you take medicine that causes calcium loss, your doctor will usually tell you to stop taking it. Never stop taking any medicine before talking to your doctor.
Other symptoms, included kidney stones, should be treated as appropriate.
What to expect depends on the complications and cause of the disorder.
Proper treatment may help prevent further deposits in the kidneys. However, there is usually no way to remove deposits that have already formed. Extensive deposits of calcium in the kidneys do NOT always mean severe damage to the kidneys.
Call your health care provider if you know you have a disorder that causes high levels of calcium in your blood and urine, or if you develop symptoms of nephrocalcinosis.
Prompt treatment of disorders that lead to nephrocalcinosis, including renal tubular acidosis , may help prevent it from developing.

Codename: Whisper
Age: 23
Gender: Female
Appearance: The underfed, wild-eyed telepath of days of old has matured into a (still very short) woman who's taken quite a bit more care with her health. Instead of constantly covering up her malnourished pallor, she now dons a blue-and-black skintight leotard with thigh-high boots and tall gloves, showing off a physique that looks like it takes a lot of time and effort to keep where it is. Her hair, once wildly sheared to lessen the likelihood of her ripping it out, has grown long and is typically pulled back into a ponytail, with a flattering sweep of bang left free. Her hair and eye colors have not changed, both still a deep brown that is striking when paired with her (now more healthily) pale skin tone.
Personality: It is obvious that her capture by Magneto and separation from the rest of the Institute students affected her greatly, made only worse by the resulting events.
No longer a shrinking violet, Miranda is no less farther from the bubbly cheerleader that she was before her powers first manifested. Now, instead of caving under the assault of her telepathic and empathic powers, she has learned to detach herself and analyze the information her brain provides her with in a far more objective and cold manner.
Her stutter is completely gone, and while her voice is not necessarily devoid of emotion, it is certainly far more lacking in the fire it used to have. Whether that is from actual growth and control over her powers or from her tendency to cut short any attempt at a deeper-than-acquaintance-level attachment with anyone is unclear.
History: After everything went down, Miranda spent a year in Genosha, nursing her depression. Practically the only reason she survived (including remembering to eat) was because Cora took it upon himself to take care of her. Finally, though, they was found by one of her old classmates. Jackie had been working to ferry refugees from Genosha away from the mutant kingdom, and at his urging, she and Cora helped him. She was just starting to get some of her real personality traits back when she witnessed Jackie's death. Although they hadn't been close at the Institute, the loss of him (really, the last tie she had with any of her old compatriots...for all she knew, they were all dead now) rocked her to her core.
She fled Genosha with Cora tailing behind her, returning as quickly as she could to the Institute's ruins. Seeing the state it was in did nothing for her fragile psyche, and she sequestered herself until news reached her that the Sentinels were causing wholesale slaughter. Shucking her human name, she emerged from her hiding as Whisper, and has worked since then to save as many lives as she can, helping refugees to flee the robot-controlled territory and coordinating strikes on the enemy where necessary.
She has allowed no one to get close to her. After all, it only hurts worse when people you care for die. Cora knows this tendency of hers all too well from her repetition of the fact that they are not friends, despite him always being around and his penchant for calling her "Cinderella."
Four years ago, she and Cora came across Azunka's base and she had a short reunion with her best friend. Despite the knowledge that Mishap was alive and well, Miranda maintained little contact with her, instead funneling survivors and refugees to Philadelphia, confident that Azunka would take care of them or send them safely further on their way. Miranda was not aware of Azunka's disappearance.
- Telepathy - Miranda's level of telepathic control has increased considerably. While she still cannot block contact with others, she has honed her ability to the point where she can intensify the telepathic bond with multiple people at one time, creating a telepathic web that is sustainable over distances reaching to nearly a mile. She has also developed an ability to harvest specific information from the mind of an opponent, although said opponent must be physically subdued.
- Receptive Empathy - Emotions accompany the thoughts that Miranda's power picks up.
- Projective Empathy - This is Whisper's main mode of non-physical attack. She can send an empathic "bolt" of emotion at an opponent. These "bolts" may only be flavored with any emotion that Miranda herself has experienced.
- Physical prowess - While not a mutant power, Miranda has spent quite a bit of time working out and getting her body to its peak, and she can run and tumble without easily tiring. Under no circumstances can she perform any physical act that is outside the realm of possibility for a human athlete.
Other: PM sent and approved, yayyy!
Also, Miranda is going to speak in this color, and for the most part will be mind-labeling people according to the color they use to speak with (unless something else seems particularly fitting at the time of choosing).

Christie Golden, Micky Neilson discuss newest novel, War Crimes
War Crimes is a different kind of book -- it features a gigantic cast. Can you tell us a little about the challenges involved in writing and keeping track of so many familiar faces?
Christie: It definitely is. I had kind of done a run at something like this with The Shattering, that was my first experiencing writing for both Horde and Alliance, trying to weave in various characters and their story lines and still make it fast paced and entertaining. This really was a chance for me to, with the Vision of Time at my disposal, to kind of go through and not just address Garrosh, but sneak in some of the history of Azeroth. What made these factions who they are, how they thought of each other, and a lot of old hurts, as well as new things. I actually just posted on Twitter a picture of the colorful index cards that I laid out on my dining room table at work at one point just to keep track of it!

I absolutely adore the simplicity of these chocolates! Kudos, every time I search google for a recipe- the healthiest and simplest ingredients are always on your site. :)
Raw chocolates recipe
Prep Time
5 min -
Total Time
1 hour 5 min -
Shelf Life
1 week in freezer -
4.5/5 (from 18 ratings)4.5 -
10 servings -
10 small chocolates
- 3/4 cup coconut oil
- 3/4 cup maple syrup
- 1 cup raw cacao powder
- 1/4 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
Recipe Directions
- 1. If coconut oil is hard/solid place it oil in a bowl. Then place bowl inside a BIGGER bowl that is filled with hot water so that it will melt. Don't mix them together, though! You just want to liquify the pure coconut oil for use in this raw chocolates recipe.
- 2. Blend all raw chocolates recipe ingredients together in a blender until smooth. Must use a blender!! (Hand mixing or whisking will not be enough to properly combine the ingredients.)
- 3. As fast as you can, place chocolate mixture in chocolate molds to be set in the freezer (or pour into a small glass baking dish to set in the fridge until set). Do not let it sit! (Ingredients will seperate if you are too slow.)
- 4. Freeze for at least 3 hours (ideally longer).
- 4. Once frozen, enjoy! (If not using molds, cut into bars after they are solidly frozen.)
The Rawtarian's Thoughts
By The RawtarianThese raw chocolates are super easy to make and all you need is a blender and a freezer.
Your chocolates must be kept in the freezer all the time, otherwise they will melt :)
I recently updated the photography for this recipe. I used these adorable little silicone chocolate molds to get such cute little chocolate squares. They turned out perfectly!
Also, in the pictures you can see there is some discoloration from where the coconut oil seperated a little bit. Don't sweat it, they still taste to die for.
Lastly, you can definitely halve this recipe for a smaller batch.
Tip: You must be ready to pour these into your molds immediately after blending! Do not let the recipe sit at all, or it will separate. Speed is of the essence!
This simple raw chocolates recipe was contributed by my good friend Ashley Kent. Please visit her and like her Raw and Radiant Facebook page for raw love and more simple, raw recipes like this raw chocolates recipe!
Ashley's tip for an even better raw chocolates recipe:
"You can also add in chopped almonds, pecans, coconuts, goji berries, raisins or which ever else your heart desires."
Doesn't this raw chocolate recipe sound easy and fabulous? And what a perfect way to keep instant sugar-fixes on hand for those emergency moments. Thank you, Ashley, for this delicious, simple raw chocolates recipe. Enjoy!

Raw chocolates recipe
Hi! Just noticed the recipe says 1-week shelf life in the freezer. I have some I made over a week ago and it still tastes great... Why does it go bad? I'm making some for Christmas gifts so want to figure it out! :) Thank you! Awesome recipe.

Raw chocolates recipe
Great recipe - so glad I gave it a go! I added some orange essence and they're great. Thanks for the recipe!
I am having problems with my chocolates sticking to the silicone molds. They do not pop out whole, but leave a good bit of the chocolate behind....I can't figure out what I am doing wrong. I tried using a combo of cacao butter with the melted coconut oil hoping that the candy would freeze a bit harder but that didn't work either! Any suggestions?

Raw chocolates recipe
Another great recipe! Everyone deserves a little treat, the rawists too! And without feeling guilt ;) thanks once again!
Christina's Review
Raw chocolates recipe
My chocolate mixture separated just like described in previous reviews despite following the recipe to the T.
HOWEVER, I filled the mix into my chocolate molds and froze it anyways and the end result was dark chocolate TOFFEE! The texture was amazing and I can only imagine what happens if I add a little coffee flavor.... YUM! :)
Christina's Review
Raw chocolates recipe
I did use a blender. And I think the coconut oil is the culprit. I used unrefined coconut oil in my chocolate to get the extra coconut flavor and when I used the unrefined coconut oil in your superfood brownie recipe a similar oiliness happened that did not happen when I used refined coconut oil)...
Thank you for sharing this...I love chocolate and this is what I need...a healthier version of treats...no more guilt!

Raw chocolates recipe
Thank you for this super, simple & raw chocolate recipe.
I made a batch today and froze them for the hour described,
but I had the 'will it stick to the plastic molds of the
ice container?' thought come through, and yep it did!
Should i have lined it with a paper?
It tasted super!!!!
Graham Beaumont's Review
Raw chocolates recipe
I came across this recipe after trying a similar recipe that used palm sugar which i wanted to substitute with agave syrup. Unfortunately i didn't have the success i had hoped. I melted down the coconut mass which was bought in bottles in a pan of water. I then then placed a bowl over the heating water and added the coconut oil and the agave syrup and they appeared to float above one another. I continued to heat them together whilst stirring in the hope that the liquids would blend. They still remained partly separated but added the cocoa powder. At this point the chocolate mixed together smooth, but then quickly got thicker and eventually formed a blob with what i guess was the coconut oil separated from the mass in the bowl. I am not sure i got the measurements when substituting the ingredients. I think i will try your ratios next time and hope for the best.
hazel's Review
Raw chocolates recipe
Hello Graham, It sounds like you burnt the chocolate as the oil was maybe too hot. Once the oil is melted it doesnt need heating, i melted the oil in a bowl of hot water, then removed from bowl of hot water, added the cocoa, then the agave syrup, worked a treat. Hope it works for you next time!

15 Picnic-Perfect Recipes
These delicious and versatile picnic recipes provide a welcome reprieve from traditional summer fare. Try a fresh jicama salsa or a hearty barley salad with parsley and walnuts. For dessert, indulge in peanut butter pound cake s'mores.
For more warm-weather food ideas from Food & Wine, check out these 5-minute salad dressings or try these healthy cookout recipes.
Pineapple-Jicama Salsa

Vegetable Summer Rolls with Chile-Lime Dipping Sauce
Recipe: Vegetable Summer Rolls with Chile-Lime Dipping Sauce
Buttermilk Chicken with Crispy Cornflakes
Pairing note: Sam Calagione, the founder of Delaware's Dogfish Head brewery, liked how a hoppy, citrusy India pale ale counterbalanced the sweetness of the chicken, which had been marinated overnight, then grilled, brushed with butter, and rolled in crispy cornflakes.
Warm Potato Salad with Pancetta and Brown Butter Dressing
Inspiring idea: Chef Gabriel Rucker of Le Pigeon in Portland, Oregon, uses nutty brown butter instead of oil in a warm vinaigrette for a summer vegetable salad.
Quick take: Food & Wine's Grace Parisi whisks brown butter into a tangy, mustardy dressing for creamy fingerling potatoes.
Recipe: Warm Potato Salad with Pancetta and Brown Butter Dressing
Antipasto Chicken Salad
Recipe: Antipasto Chicken Salad
Ham and Cheese on Rye Bread Salad
In this fun take on the sandwich classic, Grace Parisi creates a delectable ham salad mixed with crunchy rye bread croutons and bits of Gruyère cheese, tossed in a mustardy dressing with celery and chives. She sometimes likes to wrap the bread salad in Bibb lettuce leaves for an inside-out sandwich.
Butter Bean, Tuna, and Celery Salad
Big, creamy butter beans give a tuna and celery salad terrific heartiness. The salad would also be delicious spooned over slices of warm grilled country bread.
Asian Chicken Salad with Wasabi Dressing
This delectable poached-chicken salad, packed with Asian pear, cucumber, and bean sprouts, offers a double hit of wasabi. First, Food & Wine's Melissa Rubel whisks wasabi powder into the dressing — a blend of mayonnaise, rice vinegar, and sesame oil — then she garnishes the salad with crunchy wasabi peas.
Barley Salad with Parsley and Walnuts
Barley is versatile enough to be served warm or at room temperature, as in this terrific salad with walnuts, parsley, and salty bits of ricotta salata cheese in a lemon-garlic vinaigrette. It can be served as a main course or as a side for grilled chicken or pork.
Three-Pea Salad
This combination of sugar snap peas, snow peas, and green peas — dressed in a sherry vinaigrette blended with a touch of sour cream — is clever and delicious. It can be made into a main course dish by adding shaved Manchego cheese and serrano ham.
Recipe: Three-Pea Salad
Shrimp and Noodle Salad with Ginger Dressing
Instead of spending time shredding cabbage and carrots, senior recipe developer Grace Parisi uses prepackaged coleslaw mix. She tosses it with noodles and shrimp, then adds a spicy, gingery dressing prepared with other easy-to-find supermarket ingredients, like bottled teriyaki sauce and chile-garlic sauce.
Fruit-and-Nut Energy Bars
Recipe: Fruit-and-Nut Energy Bars
Peanut Butter Pound Cake S'mores
In this takeoff on the campfire classic, Grace Parisi replaces crunchy graham crackers with buttery store-bought pound cake, sandwiched with marshmallow fluff and peanut butter and served alongside a cup of warm melted chocolate for dipping.
Recipe: Peanut Butter Pound Cake S'mores
Chocolate-Frosted Golden Cupcakes with Coconut
Finish it all off with this sweet little twist on the classic yellow cupcake: top with decorative nonpareils and coconut.

Christina S. Chu, MD
Last Modified: August 4, 2002
Dear OncoLink "Ask The Experts,"
I am 6 months pregnant and was told that I have cervical cancer. I go back to the oncologist in a month to have another colposcopy done, to see what grade the cancer is. I need to know what I should and shouldn't do everyday activities while I'm still pregnant?
Christina S. Chu, MD, Assistant Professor of the Division of Gynecologic Oncology at the University of Pennsylvania Health System, responds:
You have asked a very difficult question. You need to talk with your gynecologist about whether you have truly been diagnosed with cervical cancer, or just with precancerous cells (dysplasia, or CIN--cervical intraepithelial neoplasia). Depending on the situation, precancerous cells can be followed throughout pregnancy with colposcopy and treated after delivery. If you have precancerous cells on your cervix, I would not recommend any special precautions unless you have vaginal bleeding. True invasive cervical cancer is a different problem, and depending on the size of the tumor, the length of your pregnancy, and your personal wishes, a plan for delivery and for treatment of the cancer needs to be discussed with your obstetrician as well as with a gynecologic oncologist. Each patient's situation is individualized based on the factors I just mentioned.
Mar 7, 2015 - While professional guidelines call for human papillomavirus testing in the follow-up of treatment for cervical intraepithelial neoplasia, there is insufficient clinical research to guide the clinician in the selection of the test to use, according to a report in the April issue of the American Journal of Obstetrics & Gynecology.

An MRI (magnetic resonance imaging) scan is an imaging test that uses powerful magnets and radio waves to create pictures of the body. It does not use radiation (x-rays).
Single MRI images are called slices. The images can be stored on a computer or printed on film. One exam produces dozens or sometimes hundreds of images.
For more information, see the specific MRI topics:
Magnetic resonance imaging; Nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) imaging
You may be asked to wear a hospital gown or clothing without zippers or snaps (such as sweatpants and a t-shirt). Certain types of metal can cause blurry images.
You will lie on a narrow table, which slides into a large tunnel-shaped scanner.
Some exams require a special dye (contrast). Most of the time, the dye will be given through a vein (IV) in your hand or forearm before the test. The dye helps the radiologist see certain areas more clearly.
Small devices, called coils, may be placed around the head, arm, or leg, or other areas to be studied. These help send and receive the radio waves, and help the quality of the images.
During the MRI, the person who operates the machine will watch you from another room. The test lasts about 30 to 60 minutes, but may take longer.
You may be asked not to eat or drink anything for 4 to 6 hours before the scan.
Tell your doctor if you are afraid of close spaces (have claustrophobia). You may be given a medicine to help you feel sleepy and less anxious, or your doctor may suggest an "open" MRI, in which the machine is not as close to the body.
Before the test, tell your health care provider if you have:
Because the MRI contains strong magnets, metal objects are not allowed into the room with the MRI scanner:
An MRI exam causes no pain. If you have difficulty lying still or are very nervous, you may be given a medicine to relax you. Too much movement can blur MRI images and cause errors.
The table may be hard or cold, but you can request a blanket or pillow. The machine produces loud thumping and humming noises when turned on. You can wear ear plugs to help reduce the noise.
An intercom in the room allows you to speak to someone at any time. Some MRIs have televisions and special headphones that you can use to help the time pass.
There is no recovery time, unless you were given a medicine to relax. After an MRI scan, you can resume your normal diet, activity, and medications.
Having MRIs with other imaging methods can often help your doctor make a diagnosis.
MRI images taken after a special dye (contrast) is delivered into your body may provide extra information about the blood vessels.
An MRA, or magnetic resonance angiogram, is a form of magnetic resonance imaging, that creates three-dimensional pictures of blood vessels. It is often used when traditional angiography cannot be done.
A normal result means the body area being studied looks normal.
Results depend on the part of the body being examined and the nature of the problem. Different types of tissues send back different MRI signals. For example, healthy tissue sends back a slightly different signal than cancerous tissue. Consult your health care provider with any questions and concerns.
MRI does not use ionizing radiation. No side effects from the magnetic fields and radio waves have been reported.
The most common type of contrast (dye) used is gadolinium. It is very safe. Allergic reactions rarely occur. However, gadolinium can be harmful to people with kidney problems who are on dialysis. Tell your health care provider before the test if you have kidney problems.
The strong magnetic fields created during an MRI can cause heart pacemakers and other implants not to work as well. The magnets can also cause a piece of metal inside your body to move or shift.

Hassan: Lower your weapon
Tuesday, February 19, 2013
Pardon the analogy but since gun control has been of serious concern among headline writers of late, we think it appropriate to admonish Gov. Maggie Hassan for putting the proverbial gun to the head of the N.H. Legislature in order to bring casino gambling to the state.
Number crunchers report Hassan's budget represents a $184.2 million increase over the last biennium — a 7.1 percent increase. (Note: Even the governor admits our economy is not expect to grow past 2 percent in either of the two years covered by her budget.)
We strongly — no, we respectfully demand — that the Legislature not be swayed by Gov. Hassan's wish-list laid out in last week's budget speech. While much on that list is laudable, nothing we heard justifies putting at risk our Granite State way of life and threatening the stability of an already shaky state budget picture. |
