Wade Barrett
Real Name
Stuart Bennett
Date of Birth
August 10, 1980
Place of Birth
There are rumors floating around that a title change could be taking place in WWE NXT very soon. Bayley might be given the women's title during the middle part of September. Reports are floating around that Ashley Flair is on the verge of being given a promotion to the main roster in about a month, so she would need to drop the belt to someone else in developmental.
August 28, 2014
After finishing off his commitments, Kevin Steen has now officially reported for duty with WWE. The former ROH champion posted on Twitter that it was his first day at the WWE Performance Center. While he is viewed as one of the best performers on the independent wrestling circuit, the belief is that management will keep him in developmental, so he can simplify his in ring style to suit the audience.
August 25, 2014
When Yoshi Tatsu was given a release by WWE, he was devastated by it because he had been working so hard in developmental to get back to the main roster. However, he is not one to give up on a wrestling career. Reports have surfaced that he will be heading back overseas to sign a contract with New Japan after he finishes up his commitment on the independent circuit.
August 24, 2014
While online fans are quite aware that Kevin Steen was one of the best performers on the independent wrestling circuit over the last couple of years, WWE is not treating him any more special than other performers that they have in the developmental program. Management views him as just another wrestler, and they're going to keep pushing for him to lose weight before giving him much of a chance at a promotion.
August 13, 2014
Rumors are going around that Ashley Flair has moved to the front of the line for a promotion from developmental to the main roster in WWE. There are some roadblocks in her way, though. Total Divas is set to become a major focus again very soon, so the writers will put an emphasis on them when writing Monday Night Raw. Flair might also have to wait a bit longer if Paige picks up more momentum in her feud with AJ Lee.
August 12, 2014
Rumors have persisted over the last several months that Kevin Steen was set to sign a developmental contract with WWE. It looks to be official now, as the former ROH champion has posed for a picture with Triple H while wearing a WWE NXT shirt. The belief is that he will be focusing more on his weight and physique than actually training for the in ring stuff.
August 12, 2014
Ever since his return to WWE, Ric Flair has just been floating around, making random appearances and working as a special guest referee at live events. It looks like management may have something for him to do very soon, as Ashley Flair has reportedly been earmarked as the next developmental wrestler to be called up to the main roster.
August 7, 2014
Despite proving himself to be a valuable commodity on the international circuit for WWE, talks of promoting Sami Zayn to the main roster have died down tremendously as of late. With Bo Dallas and Adam Rose struggling to gain a connection with the audience, the belief is that management is hesitant to bring another person up from developmental at this time.
August 2, 2014
When Vince McMahon announced that they were releasing seven percent of their workforce due to the under performing WWE Network, many within the company feared for their jobs. Today, five developmental wrestlers were given their releases. Garrett Dylan, Travis Tyler, Slate Randall, Mac Miles and Dani Jackson are no longer under contract with WWE.
August 1, 2014
A day before the company is expected to eliminate a lot of jobs, WWE has come to terms on the release of Ricardo Rodriguez, who stated that the decision belonged to him. The former manager of Alberto Del Rio reiterated that he wanted to be an in ring performer again. Rodriguez had been training in developmental in hopes that management would finally give him a chance. When that opportunity appeared dismal, he opted to move on to the next chapter of his career.
July 30, 2014
With his in ring career fully behind him now, Tensai has been slowly gaining power backstage in WWE. He impressed management with his ability to function as a color commentator. Now, he has convinced them to let him have a bigger part in the company by training the developmental wrestlers. WWE likes the fact that Tensai has worked overseas and is familiar with a lot of different styles of wrestling.
July 26, 2014
Over the last couple of months, there have been plenty of rumors in regards to WWE signing international star Prince Devitt to a contract. Things heated up even more when he left New Japan. Things died down a bit when no announcement was made, but it looks like the rumor mills are heating up again. Reports are surfacing that the deal has now been reached, and he should be showing up to developmental soon.
July 23, 2014
One the things that made Kenta Kobayashi so famous in Japan was his diverse moves set. Unfortunately, though, a lot of his signature maneuvers cannot e utilized in WWE. His Go 2 Sleep finisher is commonly associated with CM Punk nowadays. His knee finisher and submission move are both being used by Daniel Bryan. The belief is that WWE will have him come up with new moves in developmental.
July 20, 2014
Triple H might be downplaying his arrival to the developmental program, but Kenta Kobayashi is far from a regular new performer joining WWE. Internally, he is being viewed as a major marketing asset as the company is hoping to expand its reaches in Japan. A television network has already agreed to air WWE NXT since Kobayashi will be featured on those shows. The Japanese star is also set to help promote the WWE Network when it expands overseas.
July 17, 2014
While he has already said his farewell to Ring of Honor fans, Kevin Steen is reportedly not under contract to WWE just yet. Word has it that he has yet to complete the medical testing that the company requires all new performers to undergo before signing a deal. If there are any lingering injuries, then there is a chance that Steen might not be picked up by the WWE developmental program.
July 16, 2014
Even though he had already established himself as one of the top performers overseas, Kenta Kobayashi is actually being sent to the developmental program by WWE. Management wants him to change up his style a bit and adopt the slower pace style that the company prefers. No word yet on how long Kobayashi will be required to stay down at the WWE Performance Center.
July 12, 2014
When LeiD Tapa was released by TNA back in March, there were rumors that she might be a candidate to join the WWE developmental program. However, the company has shown very little interest thus far. In fact, she has not even been invited for a tryout yet. While some are citing her lack of experience, which she is trying to fix by working with OVW, many are pointing out that WWE has had no qualms with signing female performers who have absolutely no experience in the wrestling industry before.
July 8, 2014
Many were under the impression that WWE was not interested in signing Rosita, as nothing took place after she did tryouts with the company. However, there are rumors floating around that management might have had a change of heart. Many see her appearances as an entourage of Adam Rose recently as a sign that WWE will be offering her a developmental contract soon.
July 3, 2014
Earlier this week, it was revealed that Bo Dallas had gotten married. Now, the identity of the bride has been discovered. It's Sarah Backman, a former WWE developmental diva. She's more known to the world as one of the top female arm wrestlers of all time. Sarah requested her release from the company a couple of months back after having quite the lackluster tenure in the developmental program.
June 28, 2014
Earlier in the week, it was revealed that Michelle McCool had visited the WWE Performance Center to help train some of the developmental divas. That led to speculations that Undertaker was there as well. Contrary to the rumors, he was not there. The legendary performer has largely stayed away from the business since his match against Brock Lesnar at Wrestlemania 30.
June 26, 2014
Patience isn't always a virtue in WWE. Wade Barrett was initially told by doctors that he would not be able to make his return to the ring until December. However, the company has a big tour of Europe in November. Since Barrett is viewed as a bit of a draw on that continent, WWE has started advertising his appearances. The belief is that Barrett will rush back from the injury to work those shows.
August 27, 2014
While many were afraid that the injury would cause him to lose his push, the fact that management has Wade Barrett scheduled to make an appearance at WWE Battleground 2014 is a good sign that the elevation will continue once he makes his return. The belief is that Barrett will be handing over the Intercontinental Championship to the winner of the battle royal, while planting the seeds for a future feud.
July 15, 2014
Thanks to an errant throw into the guard rail by Jack Swagger, Wade Barrett has underwent ligament reconstruction surgery. WWE is reporting that the operation went well and that Barrett is at home resting now. No official word yet on how long he will be gone, but rumors are floating that it will be for several months, which is why WWE stripped him of the Intercontinental Championship on Monday Night Raw this week.
July 2, 2014
Since Wade Barrett is injured and will require several months on the shelf, WWE decided to strip him of the Intercontinental Championship and put it on the line in a battle royal at Battleground 2014. Four names have been confirmed so far for the match. Kofi Kingston, Damien Sandow, Great Khali and Antonio Cesaro will be involved in that match. More is expected to be added through the next few weeks.
July 1, 2014
Over the last couple of months, Wade Barrett has been gaining momentum in WWE after receiving a little push. A lot of fans want to see him winning the gold at Money in the Bank 2014. However, the chances of that happening have decreased tremendously, as the Intercontinental Champion has suffered some sort of shoulder injury. Medical tests are still being ran, but rumors are strongly suggesting that WWE will pull him from the pay per view.
June 25, 2014
"It actually came from a joke. Cody Rhodes likes to tell a story that when he was a little kid he used to watch me wrestle. I'm slightly older than Cody, we're talking three years or something like that, but in his head I'm a really old man. I once walked into the locker room and he was telling the entire locker room that when he was a kid he was watching me wrestling as this character he made up named 'Bad News Barrett' who goes around giving out bad news to people. So we all laughed about it and forgot about it. Then I was invited on the JBL and Cole show and they said they wanted to use me on the show and asked if I had any ideas of what to do. So I said you know what, let's just do Bad News Barrett. I'll just turn up and give people bad news and then disappear. I got a really good response online and fans were loving the catch phrase 'I'm afraid I've got some bad news' and Vince McMahon saw it and thought it was the funniest thing he had ever seen. Next thing you know I'm on TV doing it." - Wade Barrett explaining how his new gimmick in WWE came ot be
June 16, 2014
At Payback 2014, Wade Barrett successfully defended the WWE Intercontinental Championship against Rob Van Dam after picking up the pin fall victory, thanks to the Bull Hammer. The performers placed some doubt in that finish when it appeared that Barrett had injured his arm while smashing into the corner post after RVD ducked away from the move outside the ring.
June 1, 2014
At one point in time, WWE had plans to put the Intercontinental Championship around the waist of Antonio Cesaro. However, those plans were dropped and the belt was given to Wade Barrett instead. Since management still wants to push Cesaro, there is a very good chance that he ends up capturing the United States Heavyweight Championship from Sheamus at Payback 2014 tomorrow night.
May 31, 2014
Since the company is hoping to build him back up to the main event level, Wade Barrett is expected to successfully retain the WWE Intercontinental Championship in his match against Rob Van Dam at Payback 2014. The former leader of Nexus will more than likely be fed another challenger next month as well. If things go as planned, he could be a future rival for Daniel Bryan.
May 27, 2014
Over the last couple of weeks, WWE fans have witnessed Wade Barrett winning the Intercontinental Championship and Sheamus winning the United States Heavyweight Championship. A big reason why WWE went that route is because of the upcoming tour of Europe, as both performers are still quite popular on that continent.
May 10, 2014
A video from Monday Night Raw of Wade Barrett defeating Big E Langston to capture the WWE Intercontinental Championship.
May 6, 2014
Over the last couple of weeks, Wade Barrett has picked up support from the audience thanks to his catchphrase. He also had a big fan backstage in Vince McMahon. Going into Extreme Rules 2014, the belief within WWE was that Barrett was all but guaranteed to win the IC title, especially since Big E Langston had very little to no momentum.
May 5, 2014
The first title change at Extreme Rules 2014 took place when Wade Barrett defeated Big E Langston to capture the WWE Intercontinental Championship. Barrett picked up the pin fall victory after delivering a running Bull Hammer finisher on Langston. A highlight of the pay per view was Langston spearing Barrett from the ring to the floor.
May 4, 2014
Initially, WWE was expected to give a big push to Big E Langston upon winning the Intercontinental Championship, but some things changed backstage and that never came to fruition. Since Langston has lost so much momentum over the last couple of months, WWE is seriously considering putting the IC title on the rising Wade Barrett at Extreme Rules 2014.
May 1, 2014
A video of the match between Wade Barrett and Rob Van Dam on Monday Night Raw to determine the new challenger for Big E Langston and the WWE Intercontinental Championship at Extreme Rules 2014.
April 30, 2014
One of the big reasons why Wade Barrett is receiving a push in WWE right now is because he has a strong supporter in Vince McMahon, who absolutely loves the Bad News Barrett gimmick. The character was shown to McMahon not too long ago, and he was the one that pushed for it to be brought to Monday Night Raw and Smackdown on a weekly basis.
April 28, 2014
With the pay per view just days away, there are some early predictions for Extreme Rules 2014 already. Many in the industry believe that Wade Barrett will take the IC title from Big E Langston because of the momentum that he has built up. A lot of people believe that Bray Wyatt will be given a win over John Cena to get some of his heat back. Almost no one believes that Kane will win the WWE title from Daniel Bryan.
April 27, 2014
With the X-Men star making a return appearance next week, WWE has been hinting that Hugh Jackman is going to be knocking out one of the wrestlers. The company set up a poll to see which performer the fans wanted to see in the roll. Damien Sandow, JBL, Wade Barrett, Randy Orton, Batista, Ryback, Curtis Axel, Zeb Colter, Fandango and Jack Swagger were all included, but Triple H and Paul Heyman are currently in the lead.
April 25, 2014
Unless things change backstage in the next few days, it looks like Wade Barrett will be beating Rob Van Dam on Monday Night Raw next week to win himself a shot at Big E Langston and the WWE Intercontinental Championship at Extreme Rules 2014. There are rumors that management will have Antonio Cesaro interfering in the match to cost RVD the victory.
April 25, 2014
Thanks to a really impressive performance from both guys on Monday Night Raw last week, rumors are now floating around that Wade Barrett has shot up as candidate to win the tournament to crown a new challenger for Big E Langston and the WWE Intercontinental Championship. The two of them could be facing one another at Extreme Rules 2014.

A 35-year-old Rosepine woman and her daughter are in custody and facing a variety of charges, authorities said.
Vernon Parish Sheriff Sam Craft said Regina Prether-Miller and her 16-year-old daughter were arrested Tuesday at a home in Rosepine.
Miller was booked in Vernon Parish on one count of identity theft, two counts of unauthorized use of an access card and three counts of forgery.
Bond was set at $21,000, but Miller is being detained for outstanding warrants in Beauregard.
Craft said Miller took her 16-year-old daughter away from her legal guardian without permission. Miller does not have legal custody of the child.
The juvenile was transported to the Beauregard Parish for an active bench warrant in an unrelated matter.
Additional charges against Miller are expected, Craft said.

Wales' waiting times for diagnostic tests 'worst in UK'by Alexandra Lodge
Doctors in Wales say waiting times for diagnostic tests here are amongst the worst in Europe and could be making the difference between life and death.
Official figures today show numbers are falling but Plaid Cymru claim Welsh patients are still waiting up to 20 times longer than those in the rest of the UK.
They say, on average, 41.2% of patients in Wales wait more than six weeks for such tests - ten times more than in Scotland and 20 times more than in England.

Saturday (tomorrow), August 9th at 11am on the Green in Stapleton. Celebration at the Smiley Campus until 1pm.
For the past few days Emily's parents have been visiting us in Denver. They are a fairly mellow couple but also very active. It's a great joy to have them around, watching their mutual loving relationship and the enthusiasm for adventure is contagious. I can only strive to be to Emily what her parents are together!
Yesterday we decided to go on a bike ride down the Sand Creek Greenway. Without a goal in mind we reached the end and decided to head into Denver on the Platte River Trail. A few things to note: Emily's parents are in their early 70′s, her mom rode a Pugsley and her dad a folding Dahon with 16″ wheels. We went 24 miles for the full round trip.
In my humble opinion yesterday's bike ride was amazing and I'm super impressed with both of Emily's folks. I know where Emily gets many of her traits that I love so much!
What did you do this weekend?!

I can't blame you!!! If I didn't pick up those Shigies this week I would have jumped on it!! Nice score :)
just scored this vintage F. Dick slicer off ebay last week. More of a modest purchase this time, but im still real happy with it. plus the logo is really cool.
not the best pics, just using my iphone, and theres still some cleaner stuck in the logo, but trust me, in person its pretty nice.

Excuse the crap pic. Teruyasu Fujiwara cleaver and petty.
Picked up some vintage Sabatiers too, so pics of them to follow soon. :D
JKerr, could i trouble you for a choil shot of that cleaver? have you weighed it yet? i would like to hear your thoughts after youve had a chance to use it some.
Attachment 16085
Next to a Konosuke #6, Fujiwara on the left.
Weighs 535g so I guess I guess it's closer to a #7 in weight but the geometry is a bit closer to a #6. Actually pretty thin behind the edge but there's not a dramatic taper from the spine to the edge....if that makes sense, kinda contradictory. F+f is okay, pretty much what I expect from a cleaver; choil and spine are a little rough, handle is decent but not great, arrived with a great edge but there is a small wave near the heel, not a big deal though. It'll go on the stones later so hopefully that'll fix itself.
I'll post some more thoughts after I've sharpened and used it.
I should add, I bought straight from Fujiwara's website. He took a few days to confirm my order, but shipping was quick and I even got a free Fujiwara branded tea towel for keeping my knives dry :happymug:
Sorry, here's a better pic.

Hey everyone, you know the drill about what day it is. This movie is actually a good one though, but the whole movie itself is a joke. If you can figure out the joke, either put it in your review or PM me.
Just silly. :P
A pretty simple not too impressive Star Wars like battle with three clocks then it ended with a B haha it got me a laugh cause i really didn't expect B in this paticular Clock flash,oh well it's still a good one.
great movie
Happy clock day from blackplastic!
oh hasppy clok day
Happy clock day
Lol, action packed thriller with a twist ending!
Let The Force "B" With You
This kicked ass, Heppy Clock Day!!!
Well, was the joke that it was parody-ing Star Wars? Anyway, the graphics and style were very good. Who was that Clock that wasn't StrawberryClock? The sound, as the last reviewer wrote, was great, too. Also, I like the 3D 'B' at the end. Happy Clcok Day!
the joke is:
watch my movie called Star Day: Starberry
the other two are truffleclock and starberry with a clock pasted on his body instead of it being a real eyeball

Students examine strategies and guidelines to prevent food-borne illnesses and contamination through proper handwashing, handling of foods, and food preparation. They review fact sheets on food-borne illnesses, and watch and discuss video, "Food Safety."
Students discover how to inhibit food borne illnesses by practicing safe food-handling techniques. Among topics they examine are the advantages and disadvantages of using wooden or plastic cutting boards. After studying for the test, students obtain food handler's permits from their local health department.
Students research information on bacterium and their relationship to food borne diseases. For this science lesson plan, students complete internet research to construct and analyze the growth cure of common bacterium and food-borne illnesses.
Students use a Department of Health Inspection Form to evaluate a kitchen/food prepartion facility as individuals or teams. They research prevention of food born illness during food storage and food preparation including Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Point System concepts.
Students read a series of statements made by students about the hazards and benefits of various foods. They distinguish the "facts: from "opinions" in the dialogue, summarize the facts in a short paragraph, and write an essay expressing their own view and conclusions drawn about the food, food-borne illness, and nutrition issues, using citations as necessary.
Students experience and visualize first hand the importance of proper hand washing through a hand washing experiment with different temperatures of water and with a different length of time to wash. They prevent food-borne illness and contamination.
High schoolers examine the causes and symptoms of food-borne illnesses and ways to prevent them. In this nutrition instructional activity students work in teams to investigate a type of food-borne illness and present a scenario about it.
Students study food borne illnesses and what foods are more likely to carry them. In this investigative lesson students examine harmful bacteria.
High schoolers apply Glo-Germ to their hands to see the amount of germs on their skin. As a class, they watch a demonstration on how to properly watch their hands to prevent the spread of disease. To end the lesson, they are introduced to the rules of sanitation and guidelines to prevent food-borne illnesses.
High schoolers identify sources of Food Borne illness and their prevention. They formulate hypotheses based on collected information. Pupils become aware of Nutrintional value of food. Students collected data are synthesized to formulate predictions as to which is the most risky and the most nutritional foods.
Students study the history of the U.S. Food and Drug Administration as well as food borne illness. They research the following topics: history of the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, food borne illness, and e-coli. Afterwards, they answer provided questions.
The topic is fascinating, but there is not much for learners to do here. Food borne illness has always been a problem for humans to face, and here, data from the Center for Disease Control is analyzed. Learners look at the number of cases of Vibrio vulnificus bacteria illness and consider trends over time, the relationship to geographic location, and the particular type of seafood that caused the infection. Perhaps this resource could be beneficial to a group of future chefs as they consider safety in food handling.
Fifth graders examine virus transmission. In this health and nutrition lesson plan, 5th graders explore hand washing and food handling techniques that prevent food borne illnesses. Students name viruses and the diseases caused by them
Identify methods that prevent food-borne illnesses and contamination. National Standard 14.4.1 Identify food-borne illness Identify types of food-borne illness and their symptoms: botulism, e-coli, hepatitis, salmonella, staphylococci Explain pre
Students recognize that safe food preparation is important to good health. In this food safety lesson, students participate in an activity students separate, clean, chill, and cook food safely. Students use Glo Germ to find where germs would be.
High schoolers brainstorm hazards in the kitchen, and categorize them. They develop a checklist that could be used by an inspector to evaluate a home economics foods laboratory. They create a recipe while using proper lab and safety procedures.
Students identify the benefits of eating a nutritious breakfast. In this nutrition lesson plan, students read food labels to identify foods that are low in sugar. Students create a healthy breakfast by using eggs and low-fat cheese.
Pupils experience and visualize the importance of proper hand-washing techniques (in the area of food preparation) through a hand-washing experiment with different temperatures of water and with different lengths of time in washing.
Fourth graders visualize firsthand the importance of proper handwashing by using Glo-Germ - an assimilated germ source, varying temperatures of water and length of washing time as observed under a dark light.

Four Roses Small Batch
Top 10 Bourbons
Despite a history dating back to 1888, the iconic name, and its popularity, Four Roses stopped selling Bourbon in the US for forty years. The whiskey was so popular in Asia that Kirin, the Japanese beer maker, bought the company in 2002 and started selling Bourbon stateside. The Kentucky-based distillery combines its two mash recipes with five yeast strains to produce ten different Bourbons. All ten are used in their signature Bourbon, only one goes into their single barrel product, while Four Roses Small Batch uses four different whiskeys.

Keeping Up With a Dynamic New Rotary Club
I'm a sucker for beginnings. So when I heard about the recent launch of a new Rotary club in our district (7090), I was more than just a little excited.
As a past Club President and current PETS 1 Chair, I am well versed in the challenges of membership and retention. Without sufficient Rotarians we can neither actualize our potential nor leverage our impact in communities around the world. And as a trained psychologist and mediator I also understand the challenges of transforming – or retrofitting- existing clubs, addressing historical patterns, interpersonal dynamics, and contextual issues that can inhibit growth.
So when a new club launches with exuberance and vigor, it is certainly worth celebrating and taking careful note.
Here's the set-up. Buffalo, NY, a Rust Belt city in the midst of reinventing itself. Palpable energy around new construction projects, a growing cultural and tourism sector, and a burgeoning biomedical core, including a relocating medical school, new start-ups and research centers, all co-located in the heart of the city. And at the very nexus of activity is the Buffalo Niagara Medical Campus (BNMC), an exciting destination attracting talented physicians, researchers, students, and staff, and just maybe the most perfect home for a brand new Rotary Club.
When members of my own club- Buffalo Sunrise- announced the idea, we were all hopeful that there would be sufficient interest. But when the charter ceremony commenced with over 50 official members, and numbers rising to nearly 100 within the first 2 months, it was clear that they were on to something huge. Talk about beginnings.
My chance to visit the club came just this past week when I was asked to co-facilitate an orientation into the bigger world of Rotary. As an opening exercise we passed around an assortment of articles from past Rotarian magazines. Rather than traditional introductions we had participants summarize their article while sharing any details that had resonated.
Within minutes we could feel the energy of Rotary. The new members described stories from around the world featuring fundraisers, service projects, and extraordinary impacts implemented by clubs, most smaller than theirs. Their areas of focus were as diverse as the projects- from animals to children, disease prevention, clean water, to agriculture. But for me the most exciting part was the reflections following the exercise. Members commented that they hadn't known there was so much room for creativity, so many possibilities for projects, and opportunities for support.
Imagine all these amazingly talented and connected people joining the world's best service organization without any idea of its latent potential.
It struck me that new clubs such as the BNMC in many ways represent the promise of Rotary. But they also reflect the significant challenge of connecting Rotary resources and structures with individuals and clubs that are in a constant state of motion and change. Clearly, we all stand to benefit from our ability as districts, and a unified organization, to stay relevant and connected to individual members and clubs. But keeping up with their talents, interests and potential is not for the faint of heart. As district leaders we had better strap on some speedy new running shoes, because the new BNMC Rotary Club has certainly taken off.
Our Time in the Canyon
We are all so very small. This was the message I took away from the Canyon, and somehow it brought me a sense of great comfort and warmth.
We had hiked down into Canyon de Chelly, battling the heat and dryness, our bodies still unaccustomed to the desert sun. The petrified sandstone was smooth and slippery with undulating contours and dizzying heights. Dazzling blue sky against terracotta painted contrasts so striking that they demanded adoration, leaving us speechless.
When we finally spotted the homestead, it was nestled within an oasis of green, snug within the canyon walls. Our guide mentioned that for some the Canyon can evoke feelings of being trapped along with an intensity of emotion that is both cathartic and powerful. But for us, the Canyon rocked us in a gentle embrace, lulling the children into blissful happiness while whispering songs of wisdom and comfort.
Our hosts were Kathy, the keeper of the family's land and legacy, and Ravis, a Navajo guide who grew up in the Canyon and worked to preserve its culture and traditions. Each shared their stories and gifts with the children.
Kathy welcomed us as only a grandmother could. She spoke of growing up in the Canyon , the rhythms of life and work, and the sense of clarity and purpose with which she toiled. She soothed wounds with plants and herbs, taught the children how to spin wool and weave, and made delicious fry bread, hypnotizing us with stories, humor, and kindness. Her grandson, Montay, played joyfully with the children, running through the orchard and scaling the Canyon walls, enchanting us with his innocence.
Ravis was more commanding. He spoke with a quiet yet authoritative voice, referencing spirits, tradition, and the Navajo ways. He spoke to the children before they went to sleep, lying together on the Canyon floor under the vast blanket of stars, singing them a low and beating melody. He spoke of the age of the Canyon, the vastness of its history, and the briefness of ours. He shared the four words with which parents teach their children, the rhythms of nature, and spirits that occupy all living things.
In the morning, as the sun was rising and we were contemplating our impending departure, Ravis asked the children to introduce themselves. He spoke of the importance of identity, sharing our lineage and celebrating our parents and grandparents and the families or clans from which we come. He explained that by knowing someone's family you know a great deal about their character and what to expect. We are all shaped by those before us, connected through family, traditions, and the spirits who watch over us.
And in the end we are all 5-fingered people, inhabiting the same earth, cherishing and tending it for the next generation and their children and grandchildren who will follow.
When we left ,the children were sad but Kathy urged us to feel only joy. In Navajo there is no word for goodbye, only the happiness that will come when we meet again.
Adventure Awaits
Today is my birthday, and I couldn't imagine a more wonderful present than the exciting adventure that awaits us in just a few short days.
In partnership with Global Explorers and Nardin Academy, I will be heading to the Four Corners region of the US Southwest along with 18 middle graders and a phenomenal Social Studies teacher for 9 days of hiking, rafting, cultural exploration and service.
I first learned about Global Explorers (globalexplorers.org) at an education conference over 5 years ago, when I was captivated by their mission of "providing transformative journeys for students and educators…inviting you to unleash your potential to do good in the world by sending you on a mindset shattering expedition that will encourage you to live a life that matters." Browsing through their portfolio of destinations- Tanzania, Peru, Cambodia, Candian Arctic, and dreaming about opportunities to share such experiences with children, including my own, has consumed more of my time than I should admit.
But when I began working with Nardin Academy (as both a parent and trustee) on their strategic planning process and saw their dynamic new mission statement taking shape, "helping students to develop their individual talents and cultivate their intellect, character and courage to make a difference in the world," it seemed that Global Explorers could be a wonderful high-impact partnership. I am so grateful that Nardin leadership embraced the concept and that the trip resonated with students and parents. The notion of a 9-day adventure, sleeping outdoors without the amenities of home while being removed from all social media and technology, is a big ask for 12, 13 and 14 year olds. But the students have courageously accepted the challenge, and our adventure awaits. I should note that in addition to Nardin students, we will also have several students from City Honors High School, including 2 of my own children. These dynamics of differing grades and school cultures will add richness to the layers of experiences and lessons that will impact us in exciting- and still unknown- ways.
When I think about the missions of Global Explorers and Nardin Academy, and my work at the University at Buffalo cultivating Experiential Learning opportunities for undergraduate students, I am struck by how closely these align with my own sense of mission- as a parent, professional, and community member. The idea of utilizing our talents to make a difference in the world necessitates that we get out of our comfort zone, explore different cultures and ways of life so that we can live our own lives with purpose and impact. The more that we can engage young people in these types of high-impact experiences, the more our communities and world will ultimately benefit.
I am hopeful that this will be the first of many more Global Explorers trips to come. But for now I plan to enjoy every moment of this exciting adventure and I look forward to sharing some stories and reflections upon our return. – Mara
Make Room for the Unicorns
My daughter Natalie can't be burdened before she goes to bed. Any mention of schoolwork or summer reading is quickly dismissed. She explains that there is simply no room for serious thoughts. She must keep her head clear for the unicorns and other fanciful creatures that fill her dreams.
Not surprisingly, Natalie loves to go to sleep. She tackles her nighttime ritual with gusto, cozying under her covers and shooing me away after a quick book and kiss goodnight. And she always rises with a dreamy faraway look, slowly transitioning into the world of wakefulness and the promise of a new day.
Like Natalie, I too enjoy sleeping. But sadly, no unicorns visit me during the night. Perhaps my mind is too cluttered with serious thoughts. Perhaps there is simply no room for them to play.
Over the years I have worked at readying for sleep. I have trained myself to relax, replacing anxious worries with soothing calm. And most nights I am able to drift off into nothingness, a restful reprieve between busy days.
Yet the quality of my slumber pales in comparison to Natalie's. What I wouldn't give to glimpse her unicorns, to stroke their downy white fur and feed them sweet treats from my hand. But even more than her unicorns, I envy Natalie's ability to slip into the world of magic and fancy by simply opening her mind.
Is this a blessed gift of childhood, or a secret all her own? I shall prepare my mind for unicorns and hope that they will come.
Experiential Learning: "I am prepared to go anywhere, provided it be forward." – David Livingstone
Educational trends rarely excite me. By the time they're broadly embraced, they're often mere shells, stripped of any real meaning or theoretical power. And yet, despite my cynicism, I can't help but celebrate the growing buzz around Experiential Learning.
Experiential Learning encompasses all flavors of applied education including academic internships, mentored research, service-learning, and cultural exploration. And while many schools and programs have long embraced their benefits, the notion of Experiential Learning is rapidly permeating more traditional bastions of education resulting in exciting new opportunities and programs of study.
From a cognitive standpoint, which is my own academic background, the benefits of applying learning within diverse contexts and settings are both obvious and compelling. And when facilitated properly, they can result in deeper and more sustained learning and opportunities for access and transfer of knowledge.
When viewed through the lenses of relevance and real-world application, Experiential Learning can be a catalyst for innovation, workforce readiness, and the types of entrepreneurial thinking and problem solving that we seek across disciplines and modalities.
But beyond its virtues as a high-impact pedagogical tool, Experiential Learning is a wonderful vehicle for supporting character development and identity formation, helping individuals to frame their own goals and interests within broader contexts and needs. Not only is this necessary for our long-term societal health, but also for the fulfillment of individuals seeking to utilize their own education and skills toward the greatest impact.
Interestingly, by embracing the value of Experiential Learning, we begin to view our roles as educators and parents quite differently. Schools and programs seek to provide rich and meaningful opportunities for students to explore and integrate, applying and deepening their learning through facilitated reflection and inquiry. And in this new paradigm, parents ideally help prepare their children to be open and ready to embrace opportunities and the learning they afford- even (or especially) when the lessons are inherently difficult or dissonant with their own experiences and ideas.
This is a role that I thankfully learned from my own mother, who seemed to understand the value of fully immersing oneself in new experiences and adventures, especially in the formative years. As I prepared to depart for my junior year of high school in Germany, I remember her dismissing my flowing tears, instructing me to not waste a single moment feeling sad or missing my family or life in Buffalo. Instead I should fully embrace every single moment of the experience that lay before me.
As I reflect on my current role as Associate Dean for Undergraduate Research and Experiential Learning at the University at Buffalo, I could offer the same motherly advice to our current and future students. Before them lies literally a world of opportunities. And our job is to help them embrace and integrate these experiences into their undergraduate preparation, positioning them for success, fulfillment, and an impactful career.
These are the wonders of Experiential Learning. It is indeed an exciting time!
Go Ahead and Frame It
As I sift through seven years of accumulated stuff, readying my office for an impending move, I can't help but reflect on the two distinct piles that sit before me.
The first is contained within a massive recycling bin and consists of endless reports, proposals, articles, and documents of various lengths and content. Despite the care with which they were once prepared and filed, they have become entirely disposable, not even worth shredding let alone transporting to my new office.
The second pile, however, is proportionately precious. It contains mementos of people and projects that have permanently infiltrated my identity and how I work and live. Not only will these treasures enjoy a place of honor in my new office, but they have recently been framed, and will hang proudly on freshly painted walls, helping to guide the next phase of my ever-evolving career.
This notion of framing our proudest accomplishments and integrating them into our work is in many ways a big idea- especially when our achievements are only tangentially related to our official job descriptions or titles. As women seek more fulfillment and challenge from our work, we often find ourselves supplementing our jobs with community involvement and outside initiatives, knitting together a patchwork career (see my blog post of the same name). While holistically, such activities can mitigate the discontent and restlessness that can come with feeling underutilized, they are ultimately inadequate as long-term solutions for growth.
And yet these supplemental activities often become the most satisfying aspects of our work, significantly contributing to our overall effectiveness and stability as professionals, while at the same time remaining outside the scope of discussion or compensation. How does one negotiate this inherent dilemma?
Clearly, this is delicate business. Anytime one steps outside the boundaries that have been set for them, there is risk involved. However, it is absolutely possible to stretch the spaces around us, and often necessary if we wish to achieve the fulfillment that we crave. Within virtually any job there are opportunities to flex our skills, interests, and experiences in ways that add value without threatening those around us.
The secret is largely in the framing. By stepping away from our specific activities and interests, we can identify points of alignment and synergy with our jobs, supervisors, and the contexts that surround our work. Once we can identify the common themes and ideas, we can then begin to weave them together to expand our notion of what we do and have to offer as professionals.
But in addition to framing, we must also develop sensitivity to the boundaries and limits of how far we can go. What makes people uncomfortable, what are the hidden implications and threats at play? Or perhaps more importantly, what do the people around us need to feel successful, safe and supported? Once we understand these variables we can better frame and share our own experiences in ways that will enrich our respective work while supporting the collective efforts of our teams and organizations.
May You Be Humbled
What do you hope for your daughter?
I looked expectantly at my mother as she considered the interviewers' question. I was a finalist for a Congressional scholarship that would send me to Germany for my junior year of high school. I had made it through the initial rounds, through essays, presentations, and competitive interviews. This should have been the easy part. I telepathically sent her pleading suggestions- "I hope she learns about different cultures…. I hope she comes back with special friendships….or memories to last a lifetime." Any of these would have been appropriate, expected, and fine. But I knew my mother and accordingly held my breath.
"I hope she is humbled."
Humbled, are you kidding me? At the time I was pissed. But I was also sick with mono, willing myself to make it through the interviews before collapsing in the car to sleep through the long drive back to Buffalo.
I ended up winning the scholarship and spent my year in Germany. It was a complicated year, at times wonderful and at others overwhelming, and according to my mother's wishes, I was humbled. My adolescent narcissism was unable to survive the cultural transplant. There was no one to feed and nourish it, and instead of the adoration I had anticipated the mild curiosity with which I was received had been short-lived. And of course in my absence my family and friends had gone on without me, unscathed and obviously no worse for wear.
My humbling didn't stop there. Despite complete confidence in my abilities and promise, I fell from grace as often as I approached it, trying to navigate the sharks and other carnivorous creatures that seemed to be continuously circling around my feet.
My humbling lasted for years, and although there is clearly still much more ahead of me, I feel as though I have finally gotten it- really gotten it. Like a character in a Greek tragedy literally destined to undo himself, we are all trapped by our own insatiable needs for appreciation, recognition, and esteem. In addition to being fickle, these are the worst kind of false friends, leading us on a path of self-destruction instead of the fulfillment we crave.
How wise of my mother to front-load my journey, breaking through my adolescent haze with a wish that although I was unable to understand let alone achieve, would stay with me as a trusted foil, slowly breaking my dependence in search of something more trust-worthy.
Clearly, I am no longer pissed at my mother for the wish she bestowed upon me so long ago. Ironically, like so many of her lasting impacts, she has absolutely no recollection of her words. But as I behold the young professionals around me who are fighting valiantly to gain appreciation and recognition for their own impressive talents and contributions, I cannot help but wax maternal and wish them the gift of being humbled.

i've got a couple a small piece of 1/2" thick bubinga, and was interested in opinions of another wood to mix it with, and a finish that you would use.
The project in mind is a small box for my wife (about 4" w x 6"L). I'm thinking of using the bubinga as an accent wood (however, more then just splines for example).
What do you think?

The twins Seven-eyed-Bin and Lin
xXchapter oneXx
There was once a monster named Three-eyed-Bob. He had three eyes, of course. He worked at a large corperation that lent money out to other monsters. His secretary was beautiful, her name was Four-eyed-Jill, because she had four eyes. After one year of working together, they got married.
One year later The twins,Seven-eyed- Bin and Lin were born. A year after that Six-eyed-Jin was born. And two years after that Five-eyed-Bobjr was born. They were a very happy family. Until one day, Four-eyed-Jill, became preganant again. It was a very happy day. Until when they went to the doctors, and made a horrifing discovery. The baby only had one heart!
They were devistated, this was rare! The house was full of sadness. Even one year old BobJr. new something was wrong.
Nine month later the baby was born. It had one heart, one head, and worst of all, only two eyes!! This was of course horrible news. And the mother cried when she saw her deforemed baby. The family decided they'd raise him anyway.They gave him all the love and attention they could. Until, it was time to send him to school. It was an anxious day for the mother. And when her son finally came home, her fears were made real. He was to ugly to fit in with society. The teacher had sent him home early because he scared the other children. She locked him in the basement. They let him out only sometimes. But when somebody came over he would have to go back.
They gave him games to play, and books to read, books about two eyed people who lived in fantastical far away places. He loved those stories, it made him feel normal, his family speculated. That is where Gavin stayed. That is until he turned twelve.

Low Calorie Healthy Pumpkin Pie Recipe
Healthy Holiday Recipe: Healthy Pumpkin Pie
What's a Thanksgiving meal without a slice of tasty pumpkin pie? Even though this dessert is technically made with a vegetable, it's traditionally high in saturated fat because of the butter used to make the crust, the whipped cream or condensed milk, and not to mention eggs. More than a few of you asked for a pumpkin pie alternative and here's a lowfat version made with silken tofu (to add protein and creaminess), and a pre-made graham cracker crust (it's lowfat and also makes your life easier).
To see how I make a healthier version of this Thanksgiving favorite read more.
Lowfat Vegan Pumpkin Pie
1 can (16 ounces) pureed pumpkin
3/4 cup sugar or Sucanat (or 1/2 cup maple syrup)
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
3 tablespoons cornstarch to firm up the pie filling
1 package (10-12 ounces) silken/soft tofu
1 9 inch graham cracker crust pie shell (I used one from Arrowhead Mills)
- Preheat oven to 425° F.
- Mix the pumpkin and sugar. Add salt, spices, cornstarch and tofu, mix thoroughly.
- Pour mixture into pie shell and bake for 15 minutes.
- Lower heat to 350° F and bake for another 60 minutes. Chill and serve.

NASHVILLE, Tenn. - A proposal that would ban drivers from sending or receiving text messages while behind the wheel is on its way to the governor's desk after lawmakers agreed on minor differences in the bill.
The measure passed the House on Monday and the Senate approved it last week.
The Senate concurred with the House version on Thursday.
Lydia Lenker, spokeswoman for Governor Phil Bredesen, said he will review the legislation once it reaches his desk.
If the bill is signed into law, Tennessee will become the tenth state to outlaw texting while driving.
Violators will face a $50 fine.
Alaska, California, Utah, Minnesota, Arkansas, Louisiana, Virginia, New York and Connecticut already have bans in place or that will take effect this year.

IOWA CITY � Ethen Lofthouse�s senior season hasn�t been the smoothest, but he still has one more opportunity to cement his legacy.
An injury forced him to miss some time and a preseason mistake caused him some headaches, but he will try to cap his career with his third All-American finish as a Hawkeye.
Lofthouse will be one of six seniors honored during the home finale Sunday at Carver-Hawkeye Arena. Third-ranked Iowa (12-2, 5-1 Big Ten) hosts No. 11 Michigan (9-3, 5-1), starting at 2 p.m.
Lofthouse, ranked fourth at 184 pounds, is 17-2 this season. He is expected to face the Wolverines� No. 20 Domenic Abounader (11-5).
It will be his second match since injuring a knee Jan. 4 at home against Michigan State.
�It�s a little disappointing from the injury point of view,� Lofthouse said during the Hawkeyes� weekly media session at the Dan Gable Wrestling Complex. �I have a lot to look forward to. It�s pretty crazy how time flies. I�m looking forward to my last time in Carver. I�m excited. Give the fans something to remember me by.�
He leaves a long resume for Iowa fans to memorize. Lofthouse is a two-time All-American, placing fifth last year at 184 and seventh in 2012 at 174. He has finished third at the last two Big Ten Championships, qualifying for the NCAA Championships his first three seasons.
Lofthouse seemed to be his strongest in the postseason.
�Ethen had to battle through a mediocre, I don�t like a .500-record, season and then he would do well at the end of the year,� Iowa Coach Tom Brands said. �That�s important.�
Wrestling in front of Iowa fans at CHA will be a fond memory for many years. There is nothing like it for Lofthouse. He said there were many the last four seasons, but a 3-1 win over Ohio State�s Nick Heflin as a freshman ranks among the best.
�It came down to the end and I ended up squeaking it out,� Lofthouse said. �I remember that one pretty well.�
Lofthouse, from Avon, Utah, has been focused on preparation and hasn�t contemplated what it will be like to compete in front of the Hawkeye faithful, wearing a black-and-gold singlet for the final time in Iowa City. He said it will likely hit him when he sees his family, the coaches and fans.
�It hasn�t really set in,� said Lofthouse, who wants Iowa fans to associate him with toughness and a competitor that gave his best effort. �(Tony) Ramos, (Derek) St. John and I came in as freshmen and it seems like yesterday. Now, we�re all going to be wrestling together for our last (home) match against Michigan.�
This is not the end of the road by any means. More than a month of the season remains and he has accomplishments to obtain.
�My goal is to become a national champ,� Lofthouse said. �This is my last time to get there and I�m excited. I feel good training and I�m ready to make the jump.�
Iowa fans will big farewell to Ramos and St. John as well. They have been two fan favorites, who have made major contributions to the Hawkeye lineup, along with Lofthouse.
Ramos is 108-14 in his career, including an unblemished 33-0 mark at CHA. He has ignited the crowd on numerous occasions, including a win over Oklahoma State�s Jordan Oliver and two memorable pins over rival Penn State. He is also a two-time All-American, finishing second at 133 last year.
Derek St. John is looking to become Iowa�s 18th four-time All-American and 40th to reach 100 career wins. He reached two straight national finals, winning the 157-pound NCAA title last year. St. John is 97-13, going 30-1 at home.
Brands motioned to a practice room wall that displays Big Ten and NCAA champions and All-Americans. He mentioned their hunger to finish their careers on top.
�This is a big event for them,� Brands said. �It shows their diligence of not just being in the lineup one year or after one event. They�re pretty much household names the last three and a half years. Now let�s finish strong.�
They aren�t the only ones who will be recognized Sunday. Seniors Joe DuCharme, Tomas Lira and Nick Trizzino are seniors, who are bringing their Hawkeye career to a close. They have been vital in providing depth and filling spots in the lineup.
Lira (197/285) has the most starts, competing in 12 duals and has a 50-25 overall mark, which includes open tournaments. Tizzino has wrestled in three duals, posting a 17-7 mark throughout his career.�They�ve been through it,� Brands said. �A lot of water under the dam for them. A lot of good memories from my point of view. I�m kind of smiling right now at all of them. These things aren�t things you get emotional about so much, because you feel good that they are in a good place to go forward for the rest of their life as young motivated men that will aspire.�
