I've programmed mostly in C# (for about 7 years), though occasionally in a myriad of other tongues (Python, Java, C++, C, JavaScript, VB.Net, batch scripts, Lua, Lisp, various DSLs).
I have written a whole bunch of automation for all sorts of programming tasks (long-running back end and batch processes, database migrations, code generation, code refactoring, CI, deployment infrastructure, test case generation, test lab/deployment automation infrastructure, and a whole boat load of automated E2E, integration, and unit tests).
I've done mostly web programming lately, with a little game programming on the side.
I dig Open Source Software.

The Board's Role in Capital AllocationA feature article in NACD Directorship Magazine |
Despite unprecedented levels of cash on U.S. public company balance sheets, management continues to treat the asset as a scarce commodity. Shareholders' insatiable appetite for growth remains even as many companies grapple with continued economic uncertainty and heightened regulation across many sectors. And so, management looks for a more informed and efficient use of capital across its wide array of deployment alternatives—mergers and acquisitions, dividends and share repurchase programs, and organic growth opportunities.
In light of shareholder demands for transparency and good governance, what is the board's role in helping to shape those investment decisions?
Understand more about the boards of directors role in capital allocation decisions, both serving and protecting shareholder value through advice, strategic direction and oversight, by reading the attached NACD Directorship Magazine article featuring Chris Ruggeri, principal and M&A Leader for Deloitte Financial Advisory Services LLP, and Sara Elinson, principal, Deloitte Financial Advisory Services LLP.

Filter Results |
Dead after 6 monthsPros: Great product while it works Cons: Warranty difficult to redeem, customer service virtually non-existent, lots of users reporting similar problems, board already discontinued Other Thoughts: I typically do not review PC components but this was the worst experience I've had yet. Aside from the lost data thanks to the board slowly dying and causing read/write errors on my drive before completely erroring out and refusing to post, this is an expensive flagship product - I expected more as far as support. Manufacturer Response: Did you find this review helpful? |
Fast and solidPros: I like the design/layout of this board. It fired right up and once I got my RAID drivers and SATA controllers configured correctly, Windows was installed and haven't ran into a problem yet. Cons: None, yet. Other Thoughts: This motherboard with a 4820k is working nicely. I have it OC'd to 4.6GHz and everything is rock solid. Did you find this review helpful? |
Horrible experiencePros: None whatsoever Cons: After wasting a sizable sum of money to build a computer, the motherboard would not post so I RMA to newegg and after a weeks wait was told that I damaged the CPU socket and was graciously offered 10% off the purchase of a new motherboard. Before returning the defective part I had read reviews in other places and was aware that when a motherboard was returned it is common practice to blame the problem on bent CPU pins so I made sure that there wasn't a problem before sending it back. I believe this is a common response for this company. Manufacturer Response: 1 out of 2 people found this review helpful. Did you? |
Too badPros: none. Cons: Hey ASRock, I think you just lost a customer, I was really going to get this mobo, until I read the reviews and saw that this mobo actually had more 1-star reviews than 5-star. And because of that I'm not gonna buy it for the fact that if I need it RMA'd then you gys would be of no service. 1 out of 3 people found this review helpful. Did you? |
STAY AWAY FROM ASUSPros: This is not mine, I had to build it. For those of you who can afford more then two SSD's, or who can rake leaves and buy more then two, you want a real board with a Marvell 9182 or the 92 series, not a garbage ASUS with the Marvell 9128. Auto overclock is good but to hit 4.8 you need to use manual methods. Post is a little slow until you strip and set UEFI booting. Computing such as winrar had very nice times and sandra. The fact of you can run quadfire/sli is great. The best thing about this board is that it will use SSD's to their potential, with RAID's set the native and chip for Sata 3 smoke most all boards with easy 1000R 1000W on a good SSD. Xfast lan is not needed as it uses turbo from supplier with ease. Cons: The USB 3.0 hardware is ok, has amazing read times off the Texas, but write is slow, then you must factor in the flash speed you have. In crossfire the board only seems to be 3-FPS under the top 2011 boards out. The formula has better audio. Other Thoughts: ASRock has been good ay updating the roms, I don't use the asrock website for drivers, no mobo MFG has the newest drivers posted, I use the newest, I also inject the newest roms out. So I care less about what is posted or on the driver disk. 1 out of 4 people found this review helpful. Did you? |
UPDATE: Poor first experience with AsrockPros: Newegg has been great Cons: See update info below Other Thoughts: I returned the board to Newegg for replacement. No luck on exchanging it for another brand. My fault. I would not have made this large ($3K) purchase here if I was diligent enough to read the Newegg motherboard warranty/return guidelines. Manufacturer Response: 1 out of 2 people found this review helpful. Did you? |
Poor first experience with AsrockPros: Up until the motherboard died it worked great! Cons: The board died shortly after installing Windows so I never got a chance to use it. Other Thoughts: Initial install went fine, up until it was time to upgrade the BIOS. The BIOS update reported successful but after reboot I received the dreaded debug code d6, no VGA card. Asrock seems content to blame the video card, an Asus GT680 (bought at the same time as the MB), but the card works fine in another PC. I tried 2 other video cards with the same d6 error. Manufacturer Response: Did you find this review helpful? |
Very Nice MotherboardPros: Not that it matters after the build but this was the best looking motherboard I have seen coming out of the box. Wanted to frame it and hang it on the wall instead...smile Cons: Only thing that bothered me was they did not provide the felt washers for the screws that mount the motherboard to the case. Did not like the fact I did not have an go between to prevent grounding issues. Did you find this review helpful? |
Great board, why all the negative feedback?Pros: Tons of USB 3.0 I have 20 USB 3.0 ports! Cons: None, got mine used on eb(a)y because somebody didn't know how to install it. Paid $2forty for it opened. Other Thoughts: Bought a CPU for this on Ama-zon for twohundred and everything else on newegg. Can't wait for IVY, because I am going to spend all the money I saved on the CPU. Did you find this review helpful? |
No Post for the Falal1ty ChampionPros: Features, including CPU and ECC support, and the Creative Labs sound chip on the motherboard. Cons: I give this one star because it will not post, and I cannot get tech support from ASRock. The board will not post, and it is now 15 hours after contacting ASRock tech support through email and I still have not recieved any kind of help. The board fails with the VGA fault post light on, then it trys again to boot, VGA light on again, retrys again and again in a loop. Manufacturer Response: 1 out of 3 people found this review helpful. Did you? |

Biokleen Laundry Liquid Free & Clear -- 64 fl oz
Great for the whole family
This is our go-to laundry detergent, including for baby clothes. I like that it does the job but doesn't have a lot of chemicals like standard brands. I only use a little in each load, so it goes a long way. Highly recommended!
October 30, 2013
Best laundry detergent for me
I have been using this product for many years now. Will never switch.
Clean product without all those chemicals. Fragrance free.
July 5, 2013
Very effective
I purchased this product on advice from my sister. I was so pleased with the results of my clothes. They were brighter and it took out some stains that had been washed several times by another product. I wanted a product that was good for the environment.
May 22, 2013
Great natural enviro friendly detergent
I love this detergent b/c it's free of all fragrance and chemicals. It works great!
March 3, 2013
Love this product
I stopped using commercial laundry soaps years ago, because they were full of chemicals. Even the fragrances are just more chemicals. I tried other natural products but this is the one I stayed with. It's very economical because you only use a tiny amount (about a tablespoon is plenty), and it gets my clothes cleaner than other natural cleaners did with no annoying after-scent. Have been using it now in my front loader for several years and am totally satisfied.

CHARLESTON, W.Va. -- Charleston police have made arrests in two unrelated weekend burglaries.
According to Sgt. Eric Hodges of the Charleston Police Department, a witness saw two men kick in a side door at a home at 6552 MacCorkle Ave. just before 9 a.m. on July 9. The men made off with a laptop computer and some jewelry before police arrived, but Hodges said they were found a short time later near the BP station in the 6300 block of MacCorkle Ave.
Rusty Jon Martin, 30, of Cross Lanes, and Thomas Cecil Means, 25, of Poca, were arrested and charged with burglary. The men were in the South Central Regional Jail Monday morning in lieu of $50,000 bond each.
At about 11 p.m. on Sunday, police went to a home at 1603 Livingston Ave. after witnesses saw two people outside the house -- one carrying a flat-screen TV, Hodges said. Hodges said the witness yelled at the pair, who set down the TV and fled. One ran away on foot and the other left in a white car.
Police spotted the car a short time later and arrested Patricia Irene McIntyre, 33, who gave police information that led to the arrest of Charleston resident John A. Iammarino, 48.
McIntyre was charged with nighttime burglary in connection with the incident, and Iammarino was charged with two counts of nighttime burglary in connection with the Sunday night incident and an earlier burglary on Seventh Avenue.
McIntyre was being held in the South Charleston Regional Jail in lieu of $50,000 bond. Iammarino was being held in the South Central Regional Jail in lieu of $100,000. He was also awaiting bond on a parol violation.

American Businesses Hoping to Cash In On Cuba
American industries of all kinds—from travel and telecom to construction and energy—would be poised to profit if the 52-year trade embargo with Cuba were lifted. Among the first businesses to cash in would be those involved with tourism, most experts agree.
"I believe U.S. travel and tourism companies will be the first to benefit," said Larry Register, president of the Cuba Business Bureau consulting firm.
"The travel sector already is getting prepared for what might happen," said Kirby Jones, president of the U.S.-Cuba Trade Association.
In fact, the U.S. travel industry already has seen a significant growth in Cuban tourism, even with the embargo still in place.
President Obama, who has called for "a new era" in relations with the island country, lifted nearly all restrictions on Cuban Americans' travel there in April, 2009. This year, more than 20,000 Cuban-Americans travel to their homeland each month, compared to 9,000 before the restrictions were lifted. The Bush Administration had allowed only one visit per person every three years.
Last week, the U.S. agency that enforces Cuba sanctions approved 42 new travel and other service providers, allowing them to do business with Cuba. There were no such approvals last year.
If travel restrictions to Cuba were lifted for all Americans, first-year projections suggest that 800,000 to 1 million Americans would visit, said Jones, whose Alamar Associates consulting firm staged a U.S.-Cuba tourism summit in Cancun earlier this year.
"There were 120 people there," Jones said. "All major travel-sector tour operators came to meet with Cuban officials to discuss the potential of doing business and how it might be done."
Cuba began developing its tourism industry after the 1989 collapse of the Soviet Union, which had granted Cuba billions of dollars in annual subsidies. Last year, more than 2.5 million tourists visited Cuba, mostly from Europe and Canada. Tourism is now Cuba's biggest source of foreign income.
Jones, who has advised U.S. companies on Cuba since 1974, is not optimistic about an outright end to the Cuban trade embargo. But he thinks a piece of legislation moving through Congress may serve much the same purpose.
House Agriculture Committee Chairman Collin Peterson, D-Minn., is sponsor of a bill that would eliminate some of the cumbersome restrictions faced by farmers who have been selling food to Cuba since 2001.
The Trade Sanctions Reform and Export Enhancement Act of 2000 lifted part of the trade embargo, allowing the sale of food and medical supplies to Cuba's 11 million people. Since then, a steady flow of U.S. corn, cattle, wheat, rice, apples, cereal and soybeans has made its way to Cuba, which must import 70 percent of its food.
But the reform bill mandated that Cuba had to pay cash upfront for all transactions—allowing no credit. It further stipulated that both parties to any transaction had to use a bank in a third country, disallowing any direct dealings between U.S. and Cuban financial institutions.
Even with those restrictions, U.S. exports to Cuba reached $710 million in 2008, before the global recession forced the cash-poor island to cut back 26 percent last year to $528 million.
Peterson's bill would do two things. First, it would allow direct transactions between U.S. and Cuban banks. Farmers have long been complaining that the forced use of another foreign bank adds needless cost and prevents expansion of their business.
The second part of the bill is more controversial. It would lift the travel ban for all U.S. citizens, so the resulting increase in tourism would help Cubans generate the cash they need to buy more U.S. goods.
"They're within 10 votes of getting this passed in the House," Jones said. "I've been following this issue for 35 years and I've never seen anything like this. They're not quite there yet, but it's closer than it's ever been."
A lifting of travel restrictions would sound the death knell for the embargo, Jones believes.
"Right now, most U.S. companies cannot buy or sell goods with Cuba," he said. "But the validity of having a trade embargo when a million Americans are going there every year loses all sense of logic. I can imagine the head of John Deere thinking to himself,. 'I can't sell tractors down there, but my son can go for spring break?' The embargo would begin to be dismantled."
Jones envisions an American tourism influx that would lead to ATMs, U.S. cellphone coverage, and airplane maintenance facilities.
"There are any number of areas that will be opened up if there is free and open travel to Cuba," he said.

text: 000 FXUS63 KPAH 082042 AFDPAH AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE PADUCAH KY 242 PM CST Sat Mar 8 2014 .SHORT TERM...(This Evening through Monday Night) ISSUED AT 242 PM CST SAT MAR 8 2014 Still having fun with radar trends this afternoon. Now have a sliver of likely PoPs to account for the narrow band of shower activity stretching from Perry County Missouri eastward across southern Illinois. The SREF and NAM both represent this band well this afternoon, but weaken it quickly this evening and have nothing overnight. Followed a blend of the two for PoPs through the evening. Very minor QPF is expected and any shower activity should be over before temperatures get cold enough for snow to reach the round. Observations today indicate colder air and more cloud cover behind the front than previously expected. Tried to account for that through the evening, but it should be clearing out from north to south late this evening and overnight. Likewise, north winds around 10 mph will prevail this evening behind the front, but they will weaken overnight. If the wind becomes calm, may have to watch for more fog and extremely low clouds to develop by sunrise. This would be most likely over northern portions of the area and into the northern half of southeast Missouri, including KCGI. The consensus of guidance should be close for lows tonight. Plenty of sun, and light and variable winds can be expected Sunday with surface high pressure overhead. Once again consensus guidance should be close for highs, but went just a bit above in many locations. The lone exception was in and around New Madrid county where the snowpack is likely to still hold temperatures down a few degrees. Southwest winds will prevail throughout the area Sunday night and then really pick up and become gusty on Monday. This should lead to a mild night and a very pleasant day. Went on the warm end of guidance for highs Monday and stayed close to consensus for lows. Winds will subside some Monday night as a weak surface boundary dips southward toward the area. Undercut guidance a bit in a few locations, mainly across southeast Missouri and southwest Illinois, where the winds will be the weakest. .LONG TERM...(Tuesday through Saturday) ISSUED AT 242 PM CST SAT MAR 8 2014 At the beginning of the extended forecast period, the WFO PAH forecast area experiences the last influence of the southwestern U.S. closed low/wave that has been in place since the beginning of the week. At 7 am CDT Tuesday, the southern stream low closes off once again in southern Texas, while a northern stream shortwave trough pushes southeast from the upper Midwest, east of the western U.S. ridge. The net effect of the southern Texas low allows both the northern and southern streams to come into phase, supporting the development of a narrow, but long surface trough and cold front, with a dryline stretching into southwest Texas. The net warm front develops and remains north of the WFO PAH forecast area, keeping the local area embedded in the warm sector. In addition, warm air advection is maximized, leading to temperatures nearly 15 degrees above normal for early March (upper 60s to lower 70s forecast Tuesday afternoon). With most of the shear and limited instability remaining post-frontal, the primary focus will be a 18 to 24 hour period of mainly light rain showers from Tuesday night into Wednesday. Although the impact of the increased insolation in March will be noticeable with respect to precipitation type (liquid rain), strong cold air advection behind will still lead to max/min temperatures falling some 5 to 10 degrees below normal on Wednesday and Thursday behind the cold front and building high pressure ridge. Temperatures should recover to near seasonable normals by Friday as the upper ridge moves over and the surface ridge shifts east bringing a return southerly flow of winds and temperatures to the region. Temperatures and dewpoints are reflected by a slightly adjusted (temperatures move spatially northeast) Canadian numerical guidance with some influence of the 12z GFS. Sky cover is primarily influenced by the GFS and with the remaining sensible weather elements a consensus blend. Note: Although the forecast insolation and atmosphere will not have changed appreciably from today`s package to Sunday`s, the time offset of max/min temperature occurrence will be delayed by approximately one hour. This will more accurately reflected in the Sunday forecast package following the conversion to daylight savings time. && .AVIATION... ISSUED AT 1153 AM CST SAT MAR 8 2014 Not exactly a fun set of TAFs this morning. The cold front has reached KCGI and will spread east through all sites by 21Z. Am expecting that the IFR ceilings in and around KPAH will mix out before the front arrives, but the way things have gone this morning, take that with a grain of salt. Assuming that VFR conditions are achieved before the front arrives, there will be a quick increase in mid-level clouds right behind the front, but the MVFR ceilings will be delayed around 3 hours behind the wind shift. Am reasonably confident in at least MVFR ceilings for awhile behind the front, with KCGI having the longest duration and KEVV the shortest. Some scattered light showers will also be possible at all sites late this afternoon and this evening. Skies should clear out by morning, but winds will be weakening as well. This could lead to yet another round of fog or very low ceilings by daybreak. This would be most likely KCGI, and IFR conditions have been added to the forecast there. && .PAH WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... IL...NONE. MO...NONE. IN...NONE. KY...NONE. && $$ SHORT TERM...DRS LONG TERM...Smith AVIATION...DRS

Ooooh, Stoplight-y!: The Kisai Tenmetsu
The Kisai Tenmetsu is the latest in wrist bad-assery available from Tokyoflash. It's a definite departure from a lot of the other designs.
Three LEDs positioned beneath each lens allow a transition between LED colors creating a look never before seen. A continuous line running between the lenses and through the wrist band provides perfect balance and a sweeping animation effect adds character to the design.
The time is displayed in two stages: hours, then minutes. Red LEDs are 15 units of time, amber 5, and green 1. Add them together to find out the time. Adding is fun! The Tenmetsu is available now in both black and silver, and will set you back $257. And contrary to popular belief, no, Tokyoflash does not pay my bills. I blog for no one. Well, that's not entirely true, you see, I blog for Jesus, folks. And, okay, loose women. Isn't that right ladies? Oh, come on -- free chocolate!
One more shot after the jump.

Cool Disney product, which the kid loves. Double the price because it's Disney. Washes well. Another cheap product from China.
Great bedding set. My two year old Grandson loves it. Nice quality, up to Disney standards. Feels nice, wears well.
Since this was a gift and sent to my grandson, I give it 5 stars for the happiness it created. There have been compliments and oooooo's and ahhhhhhhhs.. Nothing was said about the quality. I could assume it is soft and felt good to Max. He would be its worse critic if it diddn't work for him.
Go this set for my grandson and it made the room look so nice the price was perfect
The colours are not as vibrant as pictured. The sheets are rough but could improve with washing...had this type before. The comforter is very soft. 3 year old loves it.

Bamafan8 said...Cody is a NT in a 3-4, meaning he will never have great numbers because he is used to take on double teams to free up LBs. Rolando has talent but seems to be screwed up in the head, bust. Dareus not living up to the 3rd overall pick Hanks was undrafted so not overvalued Wilson wasn't overvalued as he was drafted to be a back up Greg McElroy is the best QB on the Jets roster but terrible GM and/or coach won't play him. Also drafted to be a back up so not overvalued. Ingram is a good back in a pass happy system where he also shares carries with 3 other RBs. Dumb pick by the Saints simply because they didn't need him. Would thrive somewhere else IMO.
What about:
Julio Jones? Courtney Upshaw? Trent Richardson? Mark Barron?

Hometown Hero award winners announced
Hometown Hero award winners announced
EAST LONGMEADOW Once again Reminder Publications will honor ordinary citizens who do extraordinary service in their communities throughout the Greater Springfield area.
The annual Hometown Hero Awards were founded to pay tribute to outstanding western Massachusetts residents and businesspeople in the memory of the late Anne Buendo, the co-founder of the company.
The sixth annual recognition event will be at 6 p.m. Feb. 7 at The Log Cabin in Holyoke. The recipients will receive a $100 donation in their name to their favorite charity from Reminder Publications as well as a portrait from Robert Charles Photography. Each recipient had the opportunity to work with the photographers in a series of sessions.
Over 300 friends and relatives of those honored are expected to attend the event. Dancers from the MaryAnn Studio of Dance will be performing along with a slideshow presentation of the Hometown Hero experience by Robert Charles Photography. For more information contact Director of Marketing Diana Dziok at 525-3247, ext. 142.
The following are the recipients of the award.
Todd Fairman
Nominated by Michelle Fairman
Todd Fairman is a husband, best friend, dad, and huge community supporter when it comes to youth sports. Todd has donated endless hours to Wilshire Athletic Association over the past 4 years, to make sure ALL children who want to play sports are able to do so. Todd sits as Vice President on the Wilshire Board of Directors, Chairperson for the events Committee, Webmaster, and CORI program. He's the Head Coordinator for baseball season; he coaches 2 baseball teams, he is the team coordinator for Girl's Basketball, and takes team and individual pictures of all children for both sports year round enabling the parents to purchase photo packages of their child for keepsake. Todd also helped organize the Wilshire Golf Tournament over the past three years. Todd has expanded his coaching capabilities this fall to Assistant Coach for two Brookside Soccer teams. He also makes it a personal commitment that all "neighborhood" children play on the same team in hopes the kids will make new friends and carpooling opportunities would be feasible.
Todd does all this from the bottom of his heart, for his children and all children that want to be involved with sports. Even though he may be "busy" at times, he always makes time for his family and makes every game and practice for his kids; whatever it takes.
We love you, and everything you do. You are our hero.
Rabbi David Edelman
Nominated by Esther Kosofsky
Rabbi Edelman is my father, and he is the most inspiring man I know. He has lived in the Springfield community since 1950 and dedicated his life to spreading goodness, kindness, and spirituality to all the people he meets. Rabbi Edelman regularly goes to the hospitals visiting sick people, and he personally distributes matza- unleavened bread for Passover to many people in the area. He always has a good word about people. He is not a judgmental person and always encourages others to do more.
Since he turned 80 years old in 2005, he has not slowed down, but continues to visit people and act as a role model. He is the dean of LYA day school in Longmeadow and his greatest joy is interacting with the students in the school, sharing personal stories and listening to them relate what happened in school each day. He is the patriarch in his family of children, grandchildren, and great grandchildren. When asked how many grandchildren my father has, I respond "one" since he has the ability to make the grandchild he is talking to feel as though he or she is his only grandchild. He has the ability to touch whoever he meets and this community is fortunate that he calls the Pioneer Valley his home.
Sister Cindy Matthews
Nominated by Francis Ryan
Franciscan Sister Cindy Matthews serves as pastoral minister to the Holy Cross Parish in Springfield's East Forest Park. Through her tireless energy and keen insights, she facilitates scores of opportunities for parishioners to reach out to meet the needs of the parish, neighborhood, city and county.
Though this may seem exactly what a nun should do, it is her unending ease and warmth that invites so many to follow her kind, quiet example and become involved in many fulfilling activities.
While collecting and distributing clothing and household items for needy families, Grey House, and Weston Rehab for Women, donating requested Christmas presents from our giving tree to hundreds of adults and children throughout the area, building community through an annual picnic, a welcoming new families Sunday, a single parent support group, social and informational evenings and luncheons, and arranging for visits and gifts to homebound, nursing home, and hospital residents, she selflessly enhances all these experiences for both the givers as well as the receivers!
Sr. Cindy continues to minister to parishioners in the loss of their loved one throughout their bereavement period and anyone who comes in contact with this remarkable, charitable woman would recognize her as a heroine.
Richard "Dick" Kmetz
Nominated by John Ciesluk, Ed. D., Principal Wolf Swamp School ,
Mary Ann Sedran, Ed. D., Principal, Williams M.S.
As veteran principals, we have observed Dick Kmetz repeatedly knock on our doors with the latest recycling project for the Longmeadow community. Being an astute environmentalist, Dick knows that to be successful with adults one must educate children first.
When we heard about this award at our Cabinet meeting last week, we immediately thought of Dick and his efforts to introduce recycling projects into the schools. He has spent many a day working with the head custodians planning with them to recycle milk cartons or to upgrade recycling barrels. Dick has presented recycling strategies to students on several occasions. It seems, no matter what the recycling effort, Dick is quick to pass it along to the schools.
In summary, we nominate Dick for his commitment to recycling in the town of Longmeadow and his relentless efforts to reach students with this information. If one were to interview Dick, he would be able to provide a litany of efforts he has spearheaded over the past 12-15 years. Dick deserves to be recognized as a Hometown Hero.
Jane and Don Cavanaugh
Nominated by Suzanne Herlihy
As citizens of the community Jane and Don Cavanaugh go "beyond the call of duty" for volunteering and helping anyone that needs help.
Jane started to volunteer at the Ronald McDonald House of Springfield in August 1998. Jane is always willing to help out with anything we ask of her. A weekly volunteer, a special events volunteer, and a supporter of all functions at the house are just some of her community service jobs. Jane has also volunteered for the Rays of Hope Breast Cancer Walk for the past 10 years and realizes how important this job is as Jane herself is a cancer survivor. Jane also drives neighbors to chemotherapy appointments, doctor appointments, and even to cook them a meal. That is Jane Cavanaugh.
Jane and Don have been living in East Longmeadow for 38 years. Jane is a wife of 41 years to her true and faithful husband, Don. She is a mother of three, two boys and a girl. She is a grandmother of 8, ages ranging from 3 to 11 years old. Jane's family is the most important thing in her life. She cares for her family and extended family daily; never thinking of herself, just of others.
Don Cavanaugh is always right by Jane's side. A calm and gentle man, he is also willing to help others whenever he can. He also volunteers at the Ronald McDonald House and the Rays of Hope Walk. This couple deserves this award for the kindness they show, not only in their family and friends, but the community they serve, just by being great human beings.
Susan-Jaye Kaplan
Nominated by Stephen Kaplan & Eve Bois
With powerful vision and exuberance, Ms. Kaplan changes the lives of inner city children every day. Orphaned at an early age, Susan Jaye-Kaplan meets children were they live as the Founder of Go FIT, a walking, running, and mentoring program. She personally instills positive attitude, self-esteem, and a sense of belonging into her staff, volunteers and most importantly the children for whom the program exists.
Her smile and genuine good nature is inviting and reassuring to the hundreds of children who sit on schools steps and doorsteps waiting for her to arrive in after school programs, community centers and college dorms. She is armed with free running shoes, socks, t-shirts, water bottles and healthy snacks. The greeting is overwhelming and their experience together lingers long after the program's end. In six or eight short weeks the value of human relationship is elevated, as their heart rate, self-esteem, and their ability to cope with stress.
Ms. Kaplan delivers important role models for children to emulate and together they practice making good decisions, healthy menus, and a commitment to fitness as a deliberate alternative to stress, illness, and obesity. These short week clinics are just plain fun.
The mission of Ms. Kaplan's Go FIT, Inc. program is to provide health and fitness opportunity to economically underprivileged and underserved youth and women in inner city and rural settings, and to educate, via coordinators and mentors, this population and to the public at large the benefits of walking, exercise and running as a means of promoting health and general welfare.
Susan was awarded tone of the nation's Daily Point of Light Awards in national recognition of her efforts to make a commitment to connect Americans through service to help meet critical needs in the community and nation in July 2006. She received the President's Citation Award at Western New England College in May 2006 and has appeared in numerous articles and books such as: "Running for the Women's Soul "by Rodale Press, "Run for Your Life" by Deborah Reber, "The Strong Woman's Journal" by Miriam Nelson, PhD, and "Runner's World Magazine" in August 2006.

Dianne Mitchell, what a gal. While she'll be the first to say that it takes the whole committee and all the volunteers to make it happen, it all starts with a good leader, and that would be Dianne. Dianne volunteers her time, and works tirelessly at the Boys & Girls Club's biggest fundraiser 'The Festival of Trees". She's there from set up to break down, and every day in between to see that everything runs smoothly. Dianne never snaps when interrupted (for the umpteenth time), and always has a smile on her face. Not only does Dianne chair the committee, but she also takes on the coordination of the entertainment that takes place during the run of the Festival of Trees. I'm not sure how she does it, but this year, I'm going to check the back room to see if Dianne has actually moved in a cot for cat naps during the long days she puts in.
April Mosher
Nominated by MaryAnn Langone
April Mosher is the most thoughtful and compassionated person I know. April organizes many benefits and chartable events. She is a fantastic dance instructor for The MaryAnn Studio of Dance in Springfield and Agawam.
April instills in her students the responsibility we have to enrich the lives of others less fortunate, and to have fun while contributing to their community by performing in and around the Springfield area. All of us find it gratifying to work with April as we bring joy and cheer entertainment at nursing homes, hospitals, and civic functions.
April makes flags to honor our troops as we march in the Memorial Day Parade. She makes Christmas ornaments to raise funds for the "Festival of Trees" supporting the Springfield Boys and Girls Club. For Halloween she collected used glasses to be distributed to underdeveloped countries. Flip tops from soda cans are being collected to donate to Shriner's Hospital. For many years she helped raise over $50,000 for the American Heart Association with dance performances and The Heart Walk.
April does all this out of the goodness of her heart. All of us at the MaryAnn Studio of Dance share her vision and appreciate her activity. We all enjoy working with her as a team, as she is always full of good ideas. If anyone deserves this award, April does.
Gertrude Cox
Nominated by Donald J. Fletcher
"The importance of family" That's a phrase we hear often. This is the story of how an extraordinary family came to exist through the work of a hero:
Specialized Home Care, a division of The Association For Community Living, is a program that matches individuals with developmental disabilities with families in the community. One care provider, Gertrude Cox, has been working with The Association for almost ten years. She is a Hometown Hero who created a family for one of the most vulnerable segments of our population; in her home two young women with developmental disabilities are thriving.
Gertrude Cox had spent much of her life helping others and raising her sons and daughters, including her adopted daughter Cynthia, now a happy 28-year-old who is living with developmental disabilities.
She came to know Specialized Home Care through her work as a social worker, "I was a reunification social worker who worked with families trying to get their children with developmental disabilities back into their homes. Audell Green was one of my clients," a child she was unable to reunite with her family. Gertrude saw an opportunity to provide a loving home for Audell, so she became a care provider for Specialized Home Care, and Audell became a member of her family.
At the time Audell could communicate little with others. When Ms. Cox discovered that Audell could pick up sounds by ear, she encouraged her to take singing lessons. She now sings at area public events and participates actively in the community. Gertrude's loving care has provided Audell and Cynthia with a strong family foundation. Ms. Cox says "I have four daughters now. Two of them are living with me."
Jennifer Putnam
Nominated by Suzanne Herlihy
As a citizen and business person of this community, Jennifer Putnam is an asset to all the charities she is involved with.
Jennifer has been involved with the American Legion Auxiliary for the past 15 years, unit #275 in Chicopee Falls. Jennifer served as Director of Hampden County in 2001-2002 and was responsible for 15 units. She has also served as President, Historian, and is currently Treasurer of her unit.
Jennifer's dedication to the veterans that gave of themselves serving our country is a great gift to these men and women. One of Jennifer's projects, which are very important to her, is the gift shop in the Holiday Season that Jennifer organizes at the Holyoke Soldiers Home. This allows the men and women in this hospital to go to the gift ship and choose gifts for their loved ones. Each unit is responsible for purchasing gifts, a percent based on their membership. Each year Jennifer is the fist one at the gift shop to set up. Then the veterans are brought down from their bedrooms to choose their gifts. The gifts are then bagged, wrapped, and tagged for them to give to family members when they come to visit for the holidays. Another project Jennifer is very involved with is two picnics a year at the Veterans Hospital. She lugs and tugs food for these vets to enjoy as it is a big treat for them to have a grilled hamburger or hot dog, a real old fashioned picnic. Jennifer also helps each Tuesday of the month with a dinner at unit #275 to help raise money for auxiliary programs such as the Junior Program, Girls State Program, children, youth and community service projects, to name a few. So, as you can see, Jennifer gives of herself without complaint.
Jennifer is also a volunteer at the Rays of Hope, a walk towards the cure of breast cancer, where she has worked registration for 10 years. She also volunteers many hours at the Ronald McDonald House where she is employed 40 hours a week and volunteers as many hours as she works.
Jennifer has also taken guardianship of her great niece. A wife, mother and grandmother who did her job as a parent took her niece because she cared and wanted to support and love this child as her own. So for the past three years Jennifer has been "Mom" again when she should be enjoying adult children and grandchildren. She is back to having a teenager. Jennifer is a super person with many good qualities, some of what I have mentioned. A kind, caring, loving citizen to all.
Ruth Willemain
Nominated by Suzanne Marotta
Ruth Willemain is a teacher by training and began her career in 1953. Upon retiring in 1999, the window of opportunity opened as she was called to become a hospice volunteer.
This is really where the story begins. Hospice volunteers serve people who are dying. Ruth has given thousands of hours to hundreds of patients as a companion, nurturer, Eucharistic Minister, and vigil team member. She advocates for them and provides for their dying wishes with her own money. She attends their funerals, and supports their family once their loved one passes. Her contribution is of course "priceless" making her a heroine daily, to the terminally ill and their families. For this work alone, she deserves recognition as a Hometown Hero.
As you know, we cannot avoid death, but how one dies makes a difference. Over the past four years, Ruth has been inspired to bring to fruition a dream of a place, a shelter where compassionate care can be given to terminally ill people, and so began the creation of Harmony House.
Her passion serves as an inspiration to us all.
Henry Jennings
Nominated by Kris Kos Lecca
Henry Jennings has served his country in both the Air Force and in the Army. His wife Wilma also served in the Army. When they finished their tours hey came to Holyoke where Wilma taught school and Henry worked for O'Connell Construction. They raised two beautiful daughters and were very active in our community. They were both active members of the NAACP until Wilma's passing. Henry was the first Afro-American to serve on the Holyoke City Council. He has been a member of American Legion Post 25 for over 40 years, serving as a Post Commander, County Commander, Dept. Sergeant at arms and a National Sergeant at arms. He currently is serving on the War Memorial Commission as Chairman, a non-paying job. His dedication is outstanding. At 83 years old he works everyday at the War Memorial Building donating his time and talents. I can never remember anyone in this community, veteran, church organization; anyone in need that Henry Jennings hasn't helped. He's an outstanding human begin and an asset to the city of Holyoke. Did I mention he work on the project to bring Mikhail Barysnikov to perform at our War Memorial?
Jeanne Proulx Hebert
Nominated by Marie Meder
When Jeanne Proulx Hebert was a four month old infant, the nurses at Holyoke Hospital cradled her in their arms. Little did she know that 50 years later, she would be returning the favor. Being allergic to milk caused many health problems for baby Jeanne. On top of that, a bout with bronchitis landed her in the hospital where she was placed inside a breathing tent. Once released, her mother, Edna Proulx, in desperation, attempted to feed her goats milk, which had been suggested by a friend. Lo and behold, it turned out to be a miracle cure and Jeanne steadily gained her health.
Jeanne Proulx Hebert's soft cuddling arms serve as her tools- a safe, secure haven for her little charges. Jeanne's special mission was born from her desire to give back to the Baystate Medical Center Community. In thanksgiving for her good health, she felt compelled to help others in need. Jeanne's life-long love of babies propelled her to become a volunteer. Upon completion of classes, she was directed to Baystate Children's Hospital and the Pediatric Intensive Care Unit where she has remained for the past seven years.
In the capacity of a "pedi-pal", Jeanne performs many duties including playing with the children, making rounds with the game cart and cleaning the play areas. On any given Friday, Jeanne can be found feeding, rocking or holding infants, sometimes staying beyond her hours so as not to disturb their rest. With her calm, peaceful demeanor, babies seem to sense Jeanne's overflowing heart of love. Sometimes, she is the only one who can stem a baby's tear, cajole them to drink their bottles or lull them to slumber in her protective embrace. Her soft voice offers comfort and encouragement.
As a volunteer, Jeanne has received a 500 hours pin, a 1,000 hours pin and been nominated and recognized for her efforts with the "Baystate's Best" award. Co-workers and parents have expressed appreciation of her natural nurturing abilities. What a better gift could one hope to give than that of love.

Barcelona….Where have you been my whole life????
I'm obsessed!!!!!!!
And I'm so stupid… I don't know why I thought I wouldn't love Spain.
If you watch the news and are following the economic disaster that's happening, you would picture women selling their children for bread in Madrid. But this is not the case. Like most coverage from the news, it is super misleading.
Yes, there is an economic disaster but one of the great traits that human beings possess is that they are resilient and keep living their lives. And Barcelona is no exception, it's incredibly chic!!!!!
First of all, the Spaniards are relaxed and gracious. There is something to be said about a Mediterranean philosophy and way of life, let's call it… de-lovely.
Also, I think Spanish women could make me straight they're so beautiful… just kidding! But I have to say, the people on a whole are beautiful.
There is an interesting take on art and culture. They mix classic sensibility with a real twist of fantasy and modernity.
Gaudi's memories are everywhere. I think he would be the prime example of Spanish artistic sensibility.
The city has its grandeur of old Europe, but without the Parisian attitude which is kind of pleasant!
One guy I met was trying to guess my nationality, his first guess was German, next Dutch, next Italian. When he finally gave up I told him I was American. He said he was surprised because all Americans feel they are number one and carry it in their body language. So, I guess even in Spain it's not great to be an American, but what the hell… I can still enjoy it while I'm here.

Easy Interview
The process took a day - interviewed at Schwan's in February 2011.
Interview Details Ok people, the Third interview which consisted of a 12-14hr day with one of the drivers at the company.
We went all the way out to Grand Junction,TN in which we drove an hour before we got there!! Hold up! From my professional point of view, why would a company send a person who was trying to decide if they wanted to work for them, all the way outside of there city to a place they've never seen before first of all! They never said that routes would be outside of the city second of all. The driver was very professional and friendly and we had a great time, But why would the company send a person out that far for that many hours to make a decision that could've been made in the first 4 hrs. The driver paid for my meals and all so it was nice, But the Manager didn't offer many any money for food and no pay for the day in which turned out to be a total waste of time. I enjoyed talking to the people in Grand Junction, TN they were very friendly people, but the fact is, the company is not going to give you a route that easy, its going to be two times more difficult! We left the Depot at 9:30am and returned at almost 9:00pm, the Mgr told me that he would be there when we got back and he wasn't. All this was Yesterday on Valentine's Day, today, I've received no calls from the Mgr what so ever, and still I have been told about the pay yet. So to Confirm about this company everyone, all the negative reviews that have been posted about this company from the past are all and still true and now up to date. The people are great, but the company is not, so my interview experience will be positive and easy, but your experience with the company will be negative and very difficult. It would be a total waste fo time working for Schwan's.

I have a 2.5 hour break between classes. I don't have anything to do. Well, I have plenty of stuff to do. I just don't want to do it right now. I don't like working on things in the morning.
Right, so, I've been playing a lot of WoW lately. I only started playing when Cata came out, so I'm pretty new to the game. And yes, it's very addicting. But I like it, so I don't care :). Thing is, I can't tell if the game is that much more nerdy than I thought it…

At least when a blog is just a part of a site, it doesn't seem quite as bad to neglect it like I do. But nevertheless, here I am again.
2010 had a lot of extremes for me, particularly in my social realm. I ended up losing a few core friends. No, they didn't die or anything, for those of you wondering. Ha. They just kinda faded away. It happens. I just wasn't expecting it to happen between me and them.
But, on the upside, 2010 was the year I…

The School of Education at New York Institute of Technology offers two Master of Science in Childhood Education degrees. The 45-credit master degree can be taken fully on-line and leads to New York State initial certification and was designed for applicants with a bachelor's degree (and little or no teaching experience or preparation) who are seeking certification at the elementary (grades 1-6) level. The program includes opportunities for candidates to participate in supervised school experiences throughout their coursework and includes a professional student teaching sequence. The Master of Science in Childhood degree is nationally recognized by the Association for Childhood Education International.
The 36-credit Master of Science in Childhood Education degree is designed for teachers who have initial certification and wish to qualify for professional certification in their first area and initial certification in childhood education. Graduates of the program are able to integrate instructional technology throughout content study, are capable of planning and selecting strategies and materials that foster multicultural understanding, and have the knowledge and skills needed to engage children in successful constructivist learning practices. The program incorporates instructional technology throughout the curriculum. Program content and experiences are aligned with state certification requirements and successful completion of all parts of the program leads to endorsement for certification.
The Master of Science in Childhood Education leading to initial certification has recently been approved by the New York State Education Department to be offered fully online in addition to our traditional on-campus classes. The Master of Science in Childhood Education leading to professional certification offers courses online, hybrid, and face-to-face.

Kingdom | Phylum | Class | Order | Family |
Scientific Name: | Abies lasiocarpa | |||
Species Authority: | (Hook.) Nutt. | |||
Common Name/s:
Synonym/s: |
Pinus lasiocarpa Hook.
Taxonomic Notes: | Two varieties are recognized for Abies lasiocarpa: the widespread nominate variety (var. lasiocarpa) and var. arizonica (Merriam) Lemmon from Arizona, Colorado and New Mexico. Flora of North America Vol. 2 (1993) treated the Pacific coast mountains population as A. lasiocarpa and the Rocky Mountain population, including A. lasiocarpa var. arizonica, as Abies bifolia A.Murray bis. The author of the genus Abies in FNA, unlike most taxonomists, assigned taxonomic significance to different chemical compounds, or their proportional presence, in the resin. Eckenwalder (2009) upheld the two taxa as varieties, but even this is disputable and is not recognized here. |
Red List Category & Criteria: | Least Concern ver 3.1 |
Year Published: | 2013 |
Date Assessed: | 2011-03-03 |
Assessor/s: | Farjon, A. |
Reviewer/s: | Thomas, P. & Stritch, L. |
Justification: This is the most widespread fir, after Abies balsamea, in North America. It is largely confined to high altitudes at the temperate latitudes and of little use as a timber tree. The very large extent of occurrence and large population mean that it is assessed as Least Concern. The variety arizonica is also assessed as Least Concern although it occurs in scattered subpopulations of limited area of occupancy in the southernmost part of the range of the species. |
Range Description: | Recorded from western North America: from Yukon to New Mexico, Arizona and N California. Both the extent of occurrence and the area of occupancy are well beyond the thresholds for any threatened category. |
Countries: | Native: Canada (Alberta, British Columbia, Northwest Territories, Yukon); United States (Alaska, Arizona, California, Colorado, Idaho, Montana, Nevada, New Mexico, Oregon, Utah, Washington, Wyoming) |
Range Map: | Click here to open the map viewer and explore range. |
Population: | Locally common. |
Population Trend: | Stable |
Habitat and Ecology: |
This is a species of the subalpine zone in the high mountains of W North America, occurring from 5 m to 1,500 m a.s.l. in the north of its range and between 600 m and 3,500 m in the Cascade Range and Rocky Mountains. It grows on a variety of high mountain lithosols, wet or dry. The climate is everywhere cold, but humid in the NW and dry in the S of its range, precipitation varies between 500 mm and 3,000 mm annually. It forms usually very open stands with solitary or clustered trees, often mixed with Tsuga mertensiana in the NW and with Picea engelmannii in most of the Rocky Mountains. Other conifers are mainly Pinus spp., and also Abies spp. in the Pacific Northwest. Alpine meadows typically occur between the clumps of conifers. Var. arizonica is most commonly mixed with Picea engelmannii, Pinus aristata and P. flexilis, or it occurs in pure stands, at elevations between 2,400 and 3,650 m a.s.l. |
Systems: | Terrestrial |
Major Threat(s): | No specific threats have been identified for this species: increased fire frequencies and overgrazing by livestock are potential threats. |
Conservation Actions: | Many subpopulations occur in protected areas. |
