Paulakay Hall named alumni director
February 15, 2013
Paulakay (Franks) Hall, '84, has been named Bryan College alumni director effective March 1, Vice President for Advancement Blake Hudson announced Friday, February 15.
|Paulakay Hall
Mrs. Hall has served as alumni events coordinator since 2005 and brings a wealth of relationships with alumni to her new position. "I have had over 30 years of relationships with alumni from my class and those since 1984," she said. "Over the past six years I've been able to get to know our precious Golden Grads (those from classes of 50 years ago or longer), and I really do love working with them."
Mr. Hudson explained that the position announcement was posted in January, and the college received 10 resumes from interested individuals. From that number, five were selected for interviews by faculty and staff members, among them alumni from different eras.
Mrs. Hall earned her degree in Christian education in 1984, and is the mother of Emily (Ricketts) Rivera, '09, and current student Jake Ricketts.
"I have been looking at focusing on legacy students—those whose parents or grandparents attended Bryan," she said. "About 10 percent of our students are legacy students, but other Christian colleges average about 25 percent. I hope to focus on those students who are here now, and reconnect with alumni who have juniors or seniors in high school, to encourage them to put Bryan at the top of their list when they are looking for a college.
"I also hope to strengthen our alumni chapter network. I'd like to get chapters started closer to home and work our way out.
"I'm a person of great joy, and I look forward to bringing that to the job as I help reconnect alumni with the college. I'm very excited about this opportunity."

Definition: This entry gives a figure for the average number of children that would be born per woman if all women lived to the end of their childbearing years and bore children according to a given fertility rate at each age. The total fertility rate (TFR) is a more direct measure of the level of fertility than the crude birth rate, since it refers to births per woman. This indicator shows the potential for population change in the country. A rate of two children per woman is considered the replacement rate for a population, resulting in relative stability in terms of total numbers. Rates above two children indicate populations growing in size and whose median age is declining. Higher rates may also indicate difficulties for families, in some situations, to feed and educate their children and for women to enter the labor force. Rates below two children indicate populations decreasing in size and growing older. Global fertility rates are in general decline and this trend is most pronounced in industrialized countries, especially Western Europe, where populations are projected to decline dramatically over the next 50 years.

Here are a few tips for learning more Mandarin Chinese vocabulary. If you have any other ideas, please share them.
Organize Words By Topic
It may be easier to remember words which are connected by a common theme. There are several vocabulary lists on this website which are organized by topic. Remember to practice these words and phrases by using them in sentences.
Vocabulary Log
Use a vocabulary log to keep track of all the words you've learned. Be sure to write down the pronunciation and a sample usage for each entry in your log. You can add to the log whenever you come across an unfamiliar word, and review it regularly to reinforce these new words.
Flashcards can be used in conjunction with a vocabulary log to test your vocabulary knowledge. Write down the word on one side of the card, and its definition and a sample sentence on the other side. Flashcards can be used whenever you have a few spare moments, such as on your daily commute or during the commercial breaks on TV. There are also many computer flashcard programs available, such as the free DimSum Chinese Tools.
Browse The Dictionary
Every Mandarin student should have a good translating dictionary. You can browse through the dictionary to pick up new words and phrases. You can find several dictionary reviews on this website.
Organize Vocabulary By Characters
A useful strategy for learning Mandarin vocabulary is to organize multi-character words according to their common first or last Chinese character. A useful software tool for this kind of study is Hanzi Master.
Tag Household Objects
If your housemates don't mind, you could attach labels to objects around the house. Every time you go to use one of these objects, say the Mandarin name out loud, and try to use it in a sentence. Be sure to include the Chinese characters on your labels.
Use The Words In Writing And Speaking
No matter how you learn new Mandarin vocabulary, reinforce it by using all new words in sentences and in writing. Most people have to use a word several times before it sticks in their mind, so take every opportunity to speak Mandarin and to use all these new words as often as possible.
Your Ideas?
Do you have some other ideas for learning new vocabulary? Help out your fellow students by sharing them here.

All-Americans Highlight ECAC Division I Women's Soccer All-Stars in 2011
CENTERVILLE, Mass. -- Two National Soccer Coaches Association of America (NSCAA) All-Americans shared the ECAC Offensive Player of the Year award on the 2011 Eastern College Athletic Conference Women's Soccer Division I All-Star Team, released Wednesday. Georgetown senior midfielder Ingrid Wells and William & Mary junior forward Mallory Schaffer earned the offensive awards, as Duke sophomore defender Natasha Anasi was awarded ECAC Defensive Player of the Year. Virginia freshman midfielder Morgan Brian was voted Rookie of the Year. The All-Stars were determined through votes by coaches or their designee within the Division I membership.
Wells was named to first-team NSCAA All-America and All-Northeast Region teams after leading the Hoyas with 30 points with nine goals and a team-high 12 assists. The BIG EAST Midfielder of the Year was a candidate for the Missouri Athletic Club Hermann Trophy, the highest award in Division I Soccer.
Hailing from Allison Park, Pa., Schaffer became the first William & Mary women's soccer athlete to make the NSCAA first team since 1997, earning All-America and all-region awards after achieving Colonial Athletic Association (CAA) Player of the Year honors. The junior led the CAA with 17 goals and 40 points, adding six assists and six game-winning goals. Her season was highlighted by a pair of two-goal, one-assist, five-point performances against Northeastern (Oct. 16) and UNC-Wilmington (Oct. 2).
With her team fresh off its first trip to the NCAA College Cup since 1992 and a national championship appearance, Natasha Anasi adds an ECAC Defensive Player of the Year award to a host of accolades for the sophomore from Arlington, Texas. The Atlantic Coast Conference (ACC) Defensive Player of the Year and first-team All-American, Anasi was named Soccer America MVP First-Team, the third Blue Devil to earn the honor in school history. She helped lead a defensive corps that led to school records in shutouts (16), wins (22) and conference victories (8) while logging the second-most minutes on the team (2,339) in 27 matches.
Brian was the only freshman to be named as a semifinalist for the Hermann Trophy, continuing a five-year streak of Cavalier athletes being named to the Hermann Trophy semifinal list. The St. Simons Island, Ga. product scored 11 goals and recorded eight assists in her first season for Virginia, including three game-winning goals, all of which came against conference rivals. Brian's accomplishments earned her the ACC Rookie of the Year award and an All-ACC First Team selection.

iPad Headphones for Kindergarten
Update: read about the headsets for storytelling I use HERE
I recently added these headphones to my iPad center. I have struggled deciding what headphone to add because I wanted the headphone to have individual volume control and to be made for kids. These checked both of those boxes so I decided to give them a try. So far they are working great. The kids all tell me they are comfortable and have been able to use the volume adjustment without support. Given the price I think they are a good deal and plan to buy a few more at some point.
- affordable $20 on Amazon
- Child sized
- Volume Control (pictured below)
- Fun design
- Seem to be built tough enough for kids
-No size adjustment. I was worried about this but every kid in my class can fit them comfortably.

<jargon> /o'bend/, /*-bend'/ ABnormal END. Abnormal termination (of software); crash; lossage. Derives from an error message on the IBM 360; used jokingly by hackers but seriously mainly by code grinders. Usually capitalised, but may appear as "abend". Hackers will try to persuade you that ABEND is called "abend" because it is what system operators do to the computer late on Friday when they want to call it a day, and hence is from the German "Abend" = "Evening".

On the Only Freshman Democrat in the 107th General Assembly
Excerpt from a Wendi C. Thomas column on freshman Democratic Rep. Antonio Parkinson:
A staunch advocate for personal responsibility, he gets fired up when talking about a pet project: a bill that would add penalties, including fines, for parents whose students are truant or performing poorly in school. The bill needs time though, to gain some traction in Nashville, he said.
This, Parkinson sees, is how state governance goes. What concerns folks back home doesn't quickly or easily turn into laws that can measurably impact constituents.
The learning curve from community activist to elected official wasn't that tough -- although understanding the budget process was a bit of a challenge -- but making real changes for the people he represents?
Near impossible, at least in his freshman term.
Most who know Parkinson can attest to his passion for his beleaguered neighborhood.
Through A Better Memphis and related organizations, Parkinson has organized the Block Party for Peace, an annual community baby shower for new mothers and the Harvest Ball held in the desolate Raleigh Springs Mall.
....Does he still believe, after enduring four months of fawning by special-interest advocates and watching legislative sausage be made, that he can make a difference?
"I may be naïve," he said, "but I really do."

HEALTHWATCH: New Year's resolutions
It's day 22, if you're counting, for folks who set New Year's resolutions.
By now, many of us have lost our zeal for self improvement.
In tonight's Health Watch Report, Channel Three's Kathryn Daniel runs into one local woman who is just getting started.
Lacey Adair says usually -- by the third week of January -- she's firmly in a resolution slump.
Not this year...She's set goals with her girls in mind.
"I would like for them to have a role model that they like to follow and that we can be healthy as a family too."
Adair says two huge factors have kept her going...Her husband helps her make exercising a priority...And she's running with a crowd.
"Being here. Being accountable to this group, definitely."
Two days before new year's -- Adair joined the "My First 5 K" class at Running Wild in Pensacola.
"I've made my friends in there, that's the other nice part."
Twice a week -- Adair trains with the group. Three days a week she runs on her own.
"A little sore. But good, each time definitely, gets a little easier, that's for sure."
Sacred Heart Hospital Sports Medicine Specialist Doctor Eric Kujawski says January is peak season for overuse injuries.W0 22 ]] C2.5 G 0 [[
"A lot of tendinitis, a lot of muscle strains, muscle pulls, seeing some stress fractures. Particularly in runners who've done too much, too soon."))
Kujawski says people in their 40's should see their doctor before starting an exercise regimen to check for cardiovascular risk factors.
He says 150 minutes of moderate exercise a week and a healthy diet are good goals.
He encourages his patients to focus on long term fitness...And to not get discouraged if they get off track here and there.W1 24 ]] C2.5 G 0 [[
"As a runner myself, i've had goals of races and not met that, either through injury or through life interfering."
In mid March, Adair will be ready to run her 5 K.
"I look forward to seeing my girls at the finish line knowing that I accomplished something and watching them seeing me set a goal and finish it, I'm pretty excited about that."

Geathers Vs. Odom: Who's Out?
After C1ncy4Life informed us that Geathers and Odom could be traded during this offseason I decided to try to post the most ideal realistic trade scenarios. I personally as you can see would much rather trade Geathers than Odom. Odom would probably yield more value. I also had a hard time with these scenarios due to the fact of not knowing if Geathers or Odom could be effective in 3-4 defensive systems. Well anyways here are some trade scenarios that could be made feel free to post your own scenarios as well always please let me know what you guys think:
Robert Geathers Trade Scenarios:
Bengals trade DE Robert Geathers and a 5th Rd 2011 pick in exchange for Broncos QB Kyle Orton
This trade makes a lot of sense for both teams and would beneficial to both. On the Bengals end Geathers has been strapped with a huge contract and has not lived up to it, while he has never matched his double digit sack numbers in which he recorded in the 2006 season. The Broncos can use Geathers as a rusher or possibly a 3-4 OLB. Kyle Orton brings the Bengals a respectable stable backup who can be a great game manager and still lead to Bengals to the playoffs. This completes a need for both teams especially with McDaniels deciding to bring in 2 new options at QB.
Bengals trade DE Robert Geathers and 4th Rd 2011 & 5th Rd 2012 to OAK in exchange for Raiders RB Darren McFadden & 7th Rd 2011
This could be a blessing in disguise for those who wanted McFadden to drop to the Bengals in the 2008 Draft. McFadden has been on the trading block repeatedly and has not lived up to his expectations in Oakland. He also has a horrible offensive line, but with the emergence of Michael Bush and Rock Cartwright and Michael Bennett being brought in McFadden could be had for a small price..After all it is The Raiders..ANYTHING IS POSSIBLE... McFadden would provide insurance for possible life after Benson and be able to spell Benson with his mixt of power and speed and also would be a great value pickup. I wouldn't mind keeping 4 RBs on the roster being that Bernard Scott has the ability to return kickoffs. The Raiders also need insurance for Richard Seymour who will most likely walk after this season. Benson & Fadden in the same backfield that would be dangerous…
Bengals trade DE Robert Geathers in exchange for Falcons QB Chris Redman & FB Ovie Mughelli
This would be a trade that takes care of 2 needs for the Bengals and 1 need for the Falcons. The Falcons get Geathers as their force opposite John Abraham and the Bengals get their Backup QB and FB all in one transaction. They get one of the league's top fullbacks and a respectable backup in Redman who when called upon last year was able to step in with Matt Ryan out.
Bengals DE Robert Geathers in exchange for 49ers QB Nate Davis & G David Baas
Not a sexy trade for the Bengals but it gives them more depth at Guard and a stopgap for Bobbie Williams. The Bengals also get young QB in Nate Davis who may be a little too raw to step in as a backup QB right away.
Antwan Odom Trade Scenarios:
Bengals DE Antwan Odom & a 5th Rd 2011 pick in exchange for Eagles QB Michael Vick, FB Leonard Weaver & a 3rd Rd 2011 & 5th Rd 2012 pick
This trade could happen, but it would depend on the value that the Eagles hold in Weaver. Weaver can also step in and run the ball effectively. Also Odom's injuries also could make this a risky move for the Eagles. It's also risky for the Bengals due to the fact that Mike Vick wants to start again and would surely walk after one season. Which would truly equal that the Bengals would be trading a high valued DE for a low valued FB which would be the reason the Eagles would have to throw in a high end pick. This move brings the Bengal a stud FB and an explosive backup QB who can also be brought in for the wildcat. This gives the Eagles a top flight DE to match Trent Cole.
Bengals DE Antwan Odom in exchange for Jaguars FB Greg Jones & QB Luke McCown
Bengals get there FB and a solid backup QB and the Jags get someone better than Tyson AluAlu plain and simple.

Now, for the last unit of the special teams; punting and punt coverage.
via media.mlive.com
First the punters themselves. 2010 was the last year of the Nick Harris era, with Ryan Donahue winning the job in 2011, then losing half the season to injury with Ben Graham filling in.
In 2010 - Ave Punt = 44.6 yds [T7th], Net Punt = 35.8 yds [25th], 24 of 90 punts inside the 20.
In 2011 - Ave. Punt = 43.6 yds [23rd], Net Punt = 36 yds. [31st], 23 of 77 punts inside the 20.
There was a substantial difference between Donahue and Graham. Donahue was the worst or second worst in average punt and net punt, while Graham was in the middle of the pack. There was a four yard difference in net punt for Graham over Donahue. FYI - our former punter, Nick Harris was the just ahead of Donahue in both categories as the punter for the Jacksonville Jaguars.
PFF.com had Harris ranked as the 9th best punter in 2010, with the duo of Graham and Donahue as the NFLs worst in 2011. Nick Harris was second worst to those two.
The punt blocking both years was solid, with no blocks against either year.
Our punter going for the tackle with the rest of the unit in hot pursuit. Not good. via binaryapi.ap.org
Now, for the coverage unit. Pretty much the same group who covered kick offs, covered punt returns as far as I could tell. To the data;
In 2010 - Ave. return of 11.7 yds, 1 TD, and 17 fair catches.
In 2011 - Ave. return of 13.4 yds, 1 TD, and 13 fair catches.
Overall, FootballOutsiders.com had the Lions ranked 25th in 2010 and 26th in 2011. Looking at the net punt yardage that seems reasonable. And from the eyeball test, I agree that the Lions were in the bottom quartile both years. FYI - Crossman's Panthers were ranked 24th in net punt in 2009, and gave up the fifth most return yards. They were just 0.2 yards per punt behind the Stan Kwan coached Detroit Lions punt cover unit.
Once again, the same questions regarding the coverage unit; bad tackling? lack of speed down the field? poor discipline? and for a bonus, what about the punter's impact?
In this case, the 2011 data shows that Ben Graham decisively out punted Ryan Donahue. I realize that Donahue was a rookie, and may have more potential than Graham, but unless he starts to show it, it would not be a hard decision for me to go with Graham over Donahue. From the sounds of talk this preseason the battle is pretty close with Donahue a slight favourite.
Any other thoughts on what ails this unit and how the Lions can improve?

Building a bridge between academics and policy makers is the aim of a new journal published by Old Dominion University.
The Journal of Race and Policy, edited by Michael L. Clemons, associate professor of political science and geography and director of ODU's Institute for the Study of Race and Ethnicity, recently published its first edition. Jie Chen, professor of political science and geography, serves as associate editor.
To be produced annually during the spring/summer by the institute, the journal is an interdisciplinary forum for the presentation of research in the areas of education, employment, health care, citizen participation, scholarly investigation and social justice. Its publication is supported by a gift to the university from Frank Batten, the founder of Landmark Communications.
Clemons says the publication is unique among American scholarly journals in addressing issues of race and policy. "A lot of times, we don't communicate," he said of scholars and public officials. "A major thrust of the journal is going to be to bridge that gap."
The first issue has eight articles -- several by ODU faculty members -- all of which are timely in their subject matter.
One article, "Beyond the Race Gap in Education: The Status of African-American Education in South Hampton Roads" by ODU's Gail Singleton Taylor, analyzes results from Virginia's Standards of Learning tests and says that, judged on SOL test scores alone, the educational prognosis of African American students in the region is bleak.
Despite some evidence of a decrease in the racial academic gap, Taylor writes that data exist which point to the deficiency of the tests themselves. High-stakes tests have been considered by some as culturally biased, statistically weak and shame-inducing for the purpose of maintaining a low-wage work force. It would be a mistake to accept these scores wholesale and not be aware of some of the political motivations behind their reportage, Taylor says.
In "Peanuts, Pigs, Trash and Prisons: The Politics of Punishment in the Old Dominion and Sussex County," Adolphus G. Belk Jr. of North Carolina's Winthrop University discusses what he calls the "prison-industrial complex" and says that Virginia is new to the connection. He argues that prisons have more to do with profits -- both financial and political -- and social control of the poor than with crime, rehabilitation or justice.
The article considers the impact the complex has had on the political, social and economic well-being of communities -- like Sussex County, Va. -- in which prisons are located, and Belk reports mixed results on the benefits of being a"prison town."
Other articles include: "Black State Legislators Addressing Post-Welfare Reform: Rhetoric or Responsiveness?" by Randolph Burnside of the University of Mississippi and Virginia Haysley-Jordan of James Madison University, and "Competence Across the Life Span: A response to the HIV/AIDS Dilemma" by ODU's Richardean Benjamin and Vanessa Sheppard of Georgetown University.
Clemons wrote one article titled "Political Support, Discrimination and Power: Exploring the Effects of Race and Empowerment." Other articles address race, biology and public health research; and race in higher education by authors from the universities of Pennsylvania and Oregon.
The journal is currently accepting manuscripts for its 2006 issue, which will deal with the correlation between race and policy formation, implementation and results, and for the 2007 issue, which will focus on Asian Americans. Research dealing with race and its impact on social resource allocation and considered policy-oriented solutions for identified problems are of particular interest. Research is invited on an ongoing basis for a special section addressing the status of race and policy in Hampton Roads and the commonwealth of Virginia.
Subscription rates are $40 a year for institutions, $25 for individuals and $15 for students. For more information, contact Clemons by phone at (757) 683-5586 or 683-3841 or by e-mail at firstname.lastname@example.com.

Marco Alvan (Team Link head coach) - "To pick dos Santos as the favorite is stuff for fans or people who don't follow the sport. Gonzaga is the better athlete overall. Who will win? Inside the Octagon we'll know. For Gonzaga, being doubted is one more motivation for him to give his best performance ever. We're training in the mountains of Utah and he's going to knock dos Santos out."
Gabriel Gonzaga - "My victory would be the ideal move towards what I want, the title shot. Getting close to it pumps me up. I've been training since 2001 and I'm not afraid of trading strikes with anyone on this planet. Although I have much more experience on the ground, I don't underestimate him there. Man, let's play and see who hits harder and has the best submissions."
-- Gabriel Gonzaga is energized for another title run.

Without Palin, McCain could have won. Palin was uneducated, and unqualified. It has zero to do with her sex or race. Silly..........November 6, 2008 at 6:37 p.m.
Hillary Clinton got 18 million primary votes but the Democrats selected Barack Obama with the super delegates and delegate votes...Nothing sexist about that..Hillary was qualified but she lost.November 6, 2008 at 3:10 p.m.
Geraldine Ferraro was a junior congresswoman who had spousal troubles nevertheless she went down in a 49 state romp...She was not Mondale's first choice...She was a Hail Mary pass like Palin was to McCain.
Iowa (97% white) chose Obama .....New Hampshire (95% white) went for Hillary...It was close to the end.....
How can you come to a logical conclusion if your facts are skewed to come out with a racial or sexist answer?
The Democrats have many qualified women to make a run in 2016..I can name 3 governors ,3 senators and 1 congresswoman.
I find it interesting that almost all the comments have zero in on Governor Palin, but nothing is being said about the two Democratic women. As my memory recalls a Senator Clinton ran for the Presidential nomination just a few months ago and former Vice-President nominee Geraldine Ferraro, who ran in 1984. Guess a lot of the individuals posting comments are to young to remember Ferraro, but surely you have not forgotten Senator Clinton. My contention is that many individuals stuck out at the two women VP nominees and blamed them for the lost of election,. And because it is obvious that the black vote could not support Senator Clinton for the Presidential nomination, it appears to me only a non-white female can gain enough support to be successful running in these positions. Just because I observe these trends, and make what I believe is a logical conclusion does not make me a sexist or racist. Actually, I find it rather disturbing that the country has not an elected female to the white house. Our current election results indicted 98 % of the black population supported a black candidate, and 39% of the white population supported a black candidate (51 % of which were white females), it is only logical to assume the same results would occur with a black female candidate. I pray I am wrong.November 6, 2008 at 2:26 p.m.
Wow...and I thought I had heard some stupid shit before, but this honestly jumps to the top of the list.November 6, 2008 at 1:29 p.m.
As someone said Republicans dodged a bullet not having Palin in there...you want someone woefully stupid and unqualified just because they are a woman....
Again as someone said there are better, smarter women out there. Palin isn't one of them.
Oh, and as far as our Message to white women in America.... HAHA!
Well in just a short couple of years we have shown to every little girl out there in the world that she can RUN for vice president and President of the United States, that finally we are a country who has just had a break from the constant VIAGRA, PLASTIC FACES AND HAIR WEAVES vibe. That's our Message to ALL FEMALES here in our country. Get it right. WHITE has nothing to do with it. Sick.November 6, 2008 at 1:22 p.m.
I want you to just imagine for a second that McCain actually won the presidential elect. Now GOD FORBID anything should ever happen to him, lets also say *POOF* and he's gone, in a heartbeat. Now, who would our president be? Someone FAR LESS experienced than Obama, not that it matters, nobody knows how to run the united states unless you have done it before. That is of course completely thrown out of the window in Bush's case. 8 years and still no lingering thoughts of change. Anyway my point is, I'd rather have Obama as president than have her as any kind of president.November 6, 2008 at 1:14 p.m.
Alton I was thinking very much the same way along these lines myself. The female gender hasn't even gotten close enough to sniff the White House and if the Democrats have their way, they never will.November 6, 2008 at 10:02 a.m.
Alton--The message that was conveyed on Tuesday was that Sarah Palin is not good enough to be Vice President. She was and will be a very questionable choice at any time for national office. I don't believe she'll ever get higher than her current office.November 6, 2008 at 6:52 a.m.
sandwichh--"...preparing for her return in 2012." Let's see, I am pretty sure you were one of the ones claiming the Democrats viewed Obama as the Messiah. Maybe you had the Democrats and Obama confused with the republicans and Palin. Interesting choice of words.
You all are going to talk the party line and claim that we are all missing the greatest thing since sliced bread becasue Sarah Palin is not the Vice President elect, but in reality, the folks at the top of the republican party are thanking their lucky stars for having dodged that bullet.
By the way, all that breezy weather yesterday was actually the republicans expelling their collective sigh of relief that Palin was back in Alaska.
Actually Alton, you are dead on this. They are preparing for her return in 2012.November 6, 2008 at 6:29 a.m.
I have heard about her for 2 years now. Sarah is very bright and a conservative. Meaning she is considered an enemy to liberals and their media cohearts. And as many of us tried to tell people, Like GW, John McCain and many of his campaign leaders are NOT CONSERVATIVES.
Just like Clarence Thomas, you will not be accepted no matter what color, sex, ethnic group, etc. if you cannot pass the one litmus test,. Anti life, liberal progressive. And with a pro gun, pro familly, pro life (didn't abort her challenged child or talk her daughter into an abortion), heterosexual, Christian, less government belief....she does not fit their model. Or BIGJ's non inclusiveness.

About Red Lion Collectibles and Gifts
Our Service PledgeI want your on-line shopping experience with me to be gratifying! Your time is valuable; I try to respond to all order requests or questions within 24 hours.
I realize you,the customer, rely on the photos of the items for your decision to purchase, so I WILL post photos of the little flaws that so many older items have. Don't be alarmed: I strive to present accurate photos and descriptions of all the items in Red Lion Collectibles and Gifts. There is nothing more frustrating than tapping on a picture only to find it is no larger (and sometimes smaller!) than the Basic Item page. I take pride in the fact that my photos are large and allow you to see everything UP CLOSE, so I encourage you to tap in and see it "Larger than Life"!
If unhappy after receiving your purchase, just let me know for a hassle-free refund! (Please refer to our Terms of Sale for more information) Your satisfaction is paramount!
About UsThank You for stopping by Red Lion Collectibles and Gifts!
I got my inspiration by trekking through Salvation Army stores as a toddler and watching my mom find wonderful things for our home with tiny bits of money as her decorating budget. As merchant's children during the Victorian era, my grandmother and my (great) Auntie Mae were taught an appreciation for value, quality, and fine craftsmanship in all kinds of things. This sense of value, quality and knowledge was passed along to me!
"The Good Old Days": Some things are crafted from Materials that are no longer available, with Technologies no longer used. Many items just aren't Crafted as well today as they once were! Sometimes, things are collectible simply because of their Charm & Beauty!
I have a keen eye, discriminating taste, and I pay attention to my "gut instincts". This is my knack. I fervently study everything I like, I love reading reference material. I believe that some things are valuable because they capture the technology of an era; an interesting "time capsule" of sorts.
Let's face it, it' FUN to imagine an era when these items were preferred and popular!
Sometimes we collect things because they will never be preferred again. Sometimes we collect it because it is such a Great Thing that it has been reproduced and imitated, and nothing is more desirable than the Original! Oftentimes, we purchase a Special Find for the Peaceful Feeling one gets while experiencing the sentiment and nostalgia it brings. Perhaps most often, we want a Special Item because we want to USE it and ENJOY it just as it was intended!
If you are interested in finding something, I always have Items which are waiting to be listed. So, I may have something for you! I invite you to share in, and take advantage of my enthusiasm for finding Neat Stuff!
I look forward to earning your trust and building a mutually fulfilling relationship. Happy Collecting!

---- — PEABODY — The victim of a January shooting told police that he just wanted to buy some marijuana. Instead, he was shot in the leg and robbed, police say.
Yesterday, the man accused of committing that shooting and robbery pleaded not guilty to charges that include assault and battery with a dangerous weapon, armed robbery, illegal possession of a firearm and ammunition, and discharging a firearm within 500 feet of a dwelling.
Aquiles Bernabe-Deleon, 21, of 255 Boston St., Lynn, is now being held on $25,000 bail, with an order that he have no contact with the victim or his girlfriend while the case is pending.
The charges stem from the Jan. 3 shooting, which took place inside an apartment at 197 Washington St., where John Leger, 27, and his girlfriend lived.
Leger told police that he had called a man he knew as "Cube," looking to purchase some marijuana. "Cube" allegedly told Leger that he would send over his brother to sell him the drug.
But once there, police say, Bernabe-Deleon pulled a gun on Leger, shot him and robbed him of $450 in cash.
The victim's girlfriend called 911, according to police.
Police later identified Bernabe-Deleon through their investigation, and Leger and his girlfriend both identified him in a photo array as the man who shot Leger.
Bernabe-Deleon is not the brother of "Cube."
Leger was taken to Massachusetts General Hospital for treatment of a wound to his upper thigh but is now out of the hospital and recovering, police said.
Bernabe-Deleon was arrested Friday in Lynn on a warrant after police received information about his location. After an appearance in Lynn District Court on Monday in an unrelated case, he was brought to Peabody District Court yesterday to answer to the shooting charges.
A status hearing is scheduled for April 23.

Published DateIt's Chilifest and Schneider Cup Weekend, fellow valley residents and/or visitors, so remember to bend ze knees as you sample the various chilis as you make your way down the ski slopes and on the chili stroll through North Conway Village.
March 2 marks the 10th anniversary for the "hottest winter event" in North Conway, the MWV Chamber of Commerce's Chilly Chili Cook-off, with help from Memorial Hospital and Hannaford North Conway.
Activities and samplings will take place from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. Awards are set for Rafferty's at 4:45 p.m.
Rafferty's will also host face painting from noon to 3 p.m., Smugglers Notch Vodka tastings for those age 21 and older from 1 to 3 p.m.; and Hornitos Plata Tequila and Give-A-Ways sponsored by Southern Wine and Spirits from 3:30 to 5 p.m.
Once again this year, the event has been spiced up a notch with ice carving demonstrations, a crazy hat contest, and two different chili cook-offs complete with tastings, plus plenty of additional festivities throughout North Conway Village.
Tasting Kits with a People's Choice ballot card will be available to the general public at the event for $10. Tickets for children 12 and under are $7 and younger kids 5 and under go free when accompanied by an adult. Your entry fee allows the opportunity to taste all the teams' chilies, including green and red chili, veggie and meat, then submit a vote for your favorite.
There will be two cookoffs happening throughout the day. The ICS Regional Cook-off will held at the Mount Washington Valley Chamber of Commerce, 2617 White Mountain Highway, North Conway. Three cook-off categories will be included: Red (traditional red chili), Chili Verde (green chili) and Salsa.
The winner of this event in each category will qualify to compete in the Last Chance Cook-off at the International Chili Society's 2013 annual championship event, to be held at the Spa Resort Casino in Palm Springs Oct. 11-13. All chefs competing must be a member of ICS to compete. Judging of the ICS Competition is managed by an official ICS Chief Judge and ICS Scorekeeper.
Additionally and at the same time, a second non-ICS sanctioned People's Choice chili cookoff will take place at Rafferty's Restaurant and Pub and the North Conway Community Center in North Conway Village with chili chefs vying for the People's Choice award for their chilis and cornbread.
Carol Hanson of Carol Hanson Art, Inc. in Fryeburg, Maine, will hold a "Crazy Hat" workshop at The Rugged Mill, 2633 White Mountain Highway in the Village of North Conway from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.
Josh Nylin of Inspirational ICE will carve a sculpture from a block of ice as part of the festivities.
For a complete list of events, visit the chamber website at www.mtwashingtonvalley.org. or call 356-5701.
TOO HOT TO HANDLE? Can you ever have too much chili? That's a debatable question, and I am sure everyone will be better able to answer that question late Saturday afternoon.
I remember a few years ago when I was asked to be one of the chili judges. Twenty-eight samplings later, I was some full.
That's when my cell phone rang. It was my sister, Judy Federowicz, up from Martha's Vineyard for her and husband Dave's annual timeshare visit.
"We're here," enthused Judy, "and we'd like to invite you for dinner! And guess what? I brought up a batch of my award-winning Martha's Vineyard ... chili!"
Hmmmmmm ... more chili, I winced.
"No offense," I told my oldest sister, "but I think I'm gonna have to pass! Maybe lunch tomorrow!"
At any rate, pace yourself — and may you enjoy your chili stroll!
SCHNEIDER CUP: There ought to be great conditions for tonight and Saurday's 17t annual Schneider Cup at Cranmore.
Held for the benefit of the New England Ski Museum, this year's event will be the first since beloved Cranmore skimeister Herbert Schneider's passing at age 92 in June.
Herbert missed the last two races, as he was in Austria with son Christoph last year, and was not feeling well enough the year before to attend the 2011 race.
His spirit lingers, however, in all of us who love Cranmore's rich ski heritage each time we take a run at North Conway's in-town back yard resort.
Herbert served the mountain from the time of his arrival with his father Hannes (1890-1955) and family in February 1939. Herbert (1920-2012) and partners purchased the mountain in 1963 and sold it in 1984, but Herbert remained on-site as a ski ambassador.
Efforts are under way to create some type of memorial to Herbert, possibly a ski scholarship. Stay tuned, and hope to see you there for the festivities, especially on Saturday for the vintage ski attire fashion show. Yours truly will be there at 1:30 p.m. signing copies of my recently-published Ski Press book, "History of Cranmore Mountain." {I'm also giving a talk at the Conway Public Library March 4 at 6:30 p.m.).
We have a great ski heritage here in the valley, and the Schneider Cup celebrates all of that.
Speaking of the Schneiders, kudos to Hannes and Markus Schneider, teenage sons of Hannes Schneider and Betsy Schneider, and nephew of Christoph Schneider. They were recently inducted as the newest members of the Ski Club Arlberg in their great grandfather and grandfather's original home area of St. Anton am Arlberg, Austria.
ROCKIN' ROD TRIBUTE: Due to Wednesday's storm, the Rockin Tribute to Rod MacKenzie that was planned for the Wolverine Tavern Feb. 27 has been rescheduled for next Wednesday, March 6, notes open mic host Simon Crawford.
"It's the first in a series of selected performer open mic fund-raisers we'll be holding around the valley, with proceeds to benefit Rod's daughter, Meg," notes the always quotable Mr. Crawford.
Speaking of the open mic at the Wolverine, we reported in last week's column about two youngsters who have created quite a stir on the music scene. I didn't have the lad's last name at the time of last week's writing, but now can happily report that the two are a girl, Riley Parkhurst (bass), and Peter Lazaron (guitar).
Peter's mom, Heather-Rose Ryan, sent the following update:
"Thank you very much for mentioning Riley and Pete in such kind terms! I'm Pete's mom. His last name is Lazaron. His father is Dr. Victor Lazaron, one of the surgeons at Memorial and a musician in his own right (although he's on the classical side of things). Besides his musical studies, Pete has also been involved in local theater for the past several years — last week he played the Wizard in Mary Bastoni's children's workshop version of 'The Wizard of Oz.'
"Pete and Riley have started a band — the working title is 'TBD' (because they haven't figured out their 'official' band name yet). They will be playing" reports Heather-Rose, "at the Wolverine this coming Wednesday as participants in the benefit concert organized by Simon Crawford for Rod MacKenzie's daughter." Their regular drummer is Eben Eastman (also a Mountain Top music student)."
So, now we know — thanks, Heather-Rose, and keep your eyes and ears out, fellow music fans!
AND NOW, FOR THE OSCAR: Conway Daily Sun entertainment critic and "Lost in Movies" Ch. 3 Valley Vision host Alec Kerr reports there was a good crowd of 30 or so movie fans at M&D's Oscar night at Your Theater last Sunday.
Kudos to Judy Kennedy, who correctly named 16 of 24 winners in her Oscar category ballot. Congrats also to young movie fan Charlie Scott, who knew so many of the correct trivia questions answers, that Alec had to start calling on to others just to mix it up. Alec and George "Mountain Mouth" Cleveland handled the mc duties. A few people dressed up as celebrities for this second annual event, which is becoming a classic way to celebrate the Academy Awards locally.
IN CLOSING: Happy birthdays to one and all Pisces this week...Congrats to Andrea Masters and Elaine Stockbridge, who were wed in Vermont this week...So, did you do your Mountain Meister run in the snow Wednesday? Was hard to see for sure. "One and done" was what coordinator Danbo Doucet said at the top of the course, as Meisters only had to make one run. "I've got to look out for the 400 other racers, not the top 20," said Danbo. Look for the bump runs for Week 8 on the NASTAR course as some top Meisters prepare for the 40th Red Parka Pub Challenge Cup at Attitash March 15...Nice to see Jeff "The Redstone Rocket" Locke do so well in his first grapefruit outing last Saturday, wasn't it?...Hope everyone is having a strong second February vacation week. It's not as strong as the first week, of course, but hey, snow and a second week of vacationers helps everyone, right? We checked out Two-fer at Horsefeathers Tuesday night during Week 2 of Vacation Week, and the place was hopping...Don't forget: Deliberative Conway town meeting is March 4, and deliberative school meeting is March 6, both starting at 7 p.m. at Loynd Auditorium at Kennett...That's it for this week. See you at the Schneider Cup and the Chilly Chili Fest!

When writer Richard Faulk set out to catalog the nation's oddest corners for his book Gross America, Leila's Hair Museum was an obvious choice. There, Leila Cohoon preserves and furthers the off-kilter artform of hair-based crafts, which stretches back to the 1700s and beyond. In a piece for CNN.com, Faulk notes that, in pre-photography days, Victorian artisans would "[weave] jewelry and decorative lace out of human hair" as a means of remembering departed loved ones, with "successive generations [sometimes adding] to the lacework to create a genealogical record, much like a family bible". In addition to these personal mementoes, Leila's collection includes 400 hair-based wreaths dating before 1900, and numerous reliquaries said to contain the hair of Mary, mother of Jesus, St. Anne, grandmother of Jesus, and pieces of the cross. Hair pieces belonging to Michael Jackson, Elvis, Marilyn Monroe, Lincoln, and other presidents also reside here. Although not hair-related, the museum also features a brooch that is said to contain threads from the coat of Joseph, father of Jesus. The quirky outpost has attracted the attention of racontours other than Faulk, too--noted gadabout Anthony Bourdain also paid a visit during an episode of his show No Reservations.
On Tuesday nights, Crossfire Recreation Center's range masters close things to the public and begin setting up a bowling-pin shoot. After registering for the tournament-style competition, marksmen approach the range, prepare to draw from their holsters or low ready positions, and wait for the buzzer. When it sounds, competitors get 30 seconds to flatten five bowling pins set up 25 feet away.
At all other times, Crossfire's 10-lane, 75-foot indoor range—rated for most handgun cartridges that are shot or thrown at less than 2,000 feet per second—welcomes guests to hone their marksmanship or train for the next bowling-pin shoot. The range's cable system positions targets that include both standard and zombie silhouettes. Four instructors uphold the training standards of the NRA, teaching classes from the NRA Basic Pistol Shooting Course to private marksmanship sessions. For shooters who frequent the range twice a month or more, Crossfire's staff offers them reduced rates through membership options. Crossfire shares a building with Arms Mart, a pro shop with an onsite gunsmith.
Since 2009, the Kansas City Dirty Duo race has helped parlay mud into money for charity. Stretched across mostly flat terrain inside Kansas Speedway, the race sends teams of two biking and running around a course nearly six miles in length. Mystery obstacles add an extra challenge to each mile, and right before the finish line, there's a massive 40-foot mud pit where teams can to play gloopy games of Marco Polo before completing the race. Kids as young as five years old can get in on the dirty dashing, too, by joining the one-mile Dirty Duo Jr. race. Once everyone has crossed their respective finish lines, the festivities continue with a post-race celebration featuring music, food, and cold refreshments.
Across Cork and Barrel's shelves, cubbies, and barrels repurposed into tabletops sprawl bottles of all kinds. Labels hint at the European and American provenance of a huge selection of wines. Notes of red peppers, chocolate, or fruit wait to leap from adventurous small-batch craft brews, from saisons—light Belgian ales—to potently hopped double india pale ales. Beer-brewing classes introduce the art of combining barley, hops, water, and yeast, and guests in art classes sip wine while swirling blues and greens for landscapes or portraits of Gumby weeping.
For more than 50 years, Cool Crest's owners have enchanted visitors with the fun park's abundance of family-friendly attractions. Flanked by emerald gardens, four 18-hole miniature golf courses lead participants to a bonus 19th hole, which rewards successful shots with a free game. Helpful staff enables drivers to hug the racetrack's corners while strapped into an open-wheel go-kart or, when in season, smack homers from batting cages hurling slow, medium, or fast pitches. Inside, a climbing playland and 7,000-square-foot arcade entertain guests throughout the year. To encourage kids to work as hard as they play, Cool Crest's staff rewards students brandishing recent report cards with up to 20 tokens, depending on their number of A's, B's, or the results from their PhD peer review. In between exhaustive sessions of play, a snack bar staff reenergizes guests with a slice or treat at Frankie's Pizzeria.
Though the city's name would seem to suggest otherwise, Independence residents must still—by law—interact with each other occasionally. Luckily, Independence Events Center serves to bring the community together, hosting everything from national concert tours to youth hockey leagues within its walls. Such stars as Kelly Clarkson have graced the stage within the 5,800-seat arena, also home to local sports teams such as the Central Hockey League's Missouri Mavericks and the Major Indoor Soccer League's Missouri Comets. Additionally, a community rink lets residents and nonresidents alike hit the ice for programs ranging from open-skating sessions and lessons to private rentals for Civil War reenactments.

A boy accused in his mother's murder and his friend, who he allegedly asked to help, have both plead not guilty to first-degree murder.
According to court officials, Mike Helms, 16, and Christian Lee Blakely, 17, made their pleas in Maricopa County on Wednesday morning. Both teens are being charged as adults.
Helms had recently gotten into trouble at school. He was mad at his mother, 36-year-old Tina Spencer, because she grounded him and took away his cell phone, among other restrictions, according to police.
Court paperwork shows the teen attacked Spencer with a hammer and a frying pan.
Helms faces charges of first-degree murder of his mother, attempted first-degree murder of his stepfather, three counts of aggravated assault on the stepfather, concealment of a dead body and tampering with evidence.
Helms' friend, Blakely, is accused of being an accomplice to the murder. He faces charges of first-degree murder, concealment of a dead body and tampering with evidence, said Mesa police Sgt. Tony Landato.
Police said the two teens moved Spencer's body to a shed and tried to clean up the crime scene.
Helms was a Junior ROTC at Gilbert High School.
