Employer Services — General Recruiting Information
You are here
Welcome to the Delaware State University Employer page!
Career Services welcomes employers who wish to recruit our students and alumni. There is a variety of services available for you to utilize. Whether your desire is to post employment opportunities, come on campus to interview students, establish internships and partnerships, participate in career fairs, or to interact in other ways, you can be sure that you'll find what you need here to do it. We invite you to browse the information below to learn about all of the services available to you.
Recruiting System
Delaware State University uses a web-based recruiting system that conveniently enables you to post jobs, register for events, sign up for on campus recruitment and information sessions, receive announcements, join the professional network, participate on an advisory board, provide sponsorship, and so much more. Current undergraduate, graduate students, and alumni of DSU have access to this system 24 hours a day, 7 days a week and so do you! You can post jobs directly on the system and you can utilize this service AT NO COST!!!! (If you currently work with other schools that use NACElink and would like to use the multi-school posting option, there is a fee for this convenience).
To access the system, go to https://desu-csm.symplicity.com/employers/. After logging in, click the register button. Enter your information and click submit. You will receive your username and password within one business day. If you are having trouble logging onto the site, or you have any questions that you cannot work through, please send an email to firstname.lastname@example.com. All that's left to do is to get started!
On-Campus Recruiting (OCR)
The On-Campus Recruitment (OCR) program is an excellent venue for employers to convey career opportunities to students and alumni. Employers may also request to visit classrooms and lecture halls to share company perspectives, labor market trends and profile emerging career options.
OCR begins October 1 and ends on April 30. Organizations are required to select their recruitment dates by creating a new user name and password or logging on as a return user on NACElink at https://desu-csm.symplicity.com/employers/. Employers may also review student resumes, post job openings and showcase their business on this site as well. Please contact the Career Services team at email@example.com or call (302) 857-6120 for assistance.
Cooperative Education
For employers, Cooperative Education produces an opportunity to observe prospective future employees and influences the direction of higher education. Visit www.desu.edu/cooperative-education for more information and to obtain the necessary forms or contact email@example.com for questions or feedback.
Internships provide students with the chance to gain hands on work experience outside of the classroom. When that experience aligns with coursework, it allows the student the opportunity to put what they've learned in the classroom to practice in real world settings. Many internships provide mentoring and professional development opportunities, and can be used by employers to create a pool of applicants for future hire.
If your organization is looking to establish a partnership to hire students from Delaware State University, please contact our office at (302) 857-6120 or email us at email@example.com.
Professional Network
The Professional Network is an excellent tool for employers to connect to DSU students and alumni. The network provides an exclusive, school branded database of professionals, alumni, and mentors, which includes comprehensive search tools and network member confidentiality controls.
Through the network, employers can serve as volunteer career advisors allowing DSU students and alumni to reach out and contact you regarding their career aspirations, your industry, and your employment expertise and experience. You decide how many students you want to interact with and how that interaction will take place (phone, email, or mail). You also have the option of expressing interest to participate on the DSU Career Services Advisory Board, panels, presentations, resume critiques, and mock interviews.
Those interested can sign up through your existing login in NACElink. If you are not an existing NACElink user, simply create a new user name and password at https://desu-csm.symplicity.com/employers/. Please contact the Career Services team at firstname.lastname@example.com or call (302) 857-6120 for assistance. And as always, employers may also use NACElink to review resumes, post job openings and showcase their business to current DSU students and alumni.
Career Fairs
Career Fairs are held in October for fall semester and in March for the spring semester. The fairs are designed for employers to share internship and permanent employment opportunities within their organizations with DSU collegians and alumni. This interaction enables the employer to not only find suitable candidates for current openings, but also helps students at every grade level prepare themselves to be marketable, exceed employer expectations and to efficiently transition from the classroom to the formal occupational setting. Employers can make requests through Career Services to coordinate times in the classrooms where they present their company and industry highlights to the student body and faculty.

My problem is my bedroom/bathroom is wired to the same breaker but sometimes the bathroom fan/lights doesnt work. The breaker never trips and nothing is ever out in the bedroom. What could be causing this?
Poorly made up connection near or somewhere after your bedroom wiring, faulty switch or poorly made up connection in the bathroom switch location, or poorly made up connection in the fan/light unit. Those ideas come to mind after a first read. Others on board will think of others as well. Trouble shooting is always a process of elimination. Good luck.
Popeye only reached for the Spinach can as a last resort...
Could also be a GFCI outlet on the bathroom end ot things. Of course, for this to have been the problem then somebody has to be hitting the 'R' button on the GFCI outlet to reset it.
That too !!! Throw that sage advice into the trouble shooting bin as well. Good luck.
Popeye only reached for the Spinach can as a last resort...
The thing is the wiring is not new. It is in a 1999 mobile home. The fan and light is seperate. I checked for loose wiring in the switches. It was ok. The gfci is ok! Im confident that I can troubleshoot it im just not exactly sure how.This message has been edited. Last edited by: harleynut05883,
Something amiss in the fan/light combo itself, but not the main wiring connections?
Popeye only reached for the Spinach can as a last resort...
Its not a fan/light combo. There is 2 light switches. One is for the fan the other is for the lights. I have 2 lights in there. 1 is over the sink and the other is close to the toilet.
I'm thinking inside the switch box that maybe you have one black wire feeding power coming in, and it goes into a wire nut that has two pigtails coming off (which means a short wire, one to each switch). So that the wire nut has 3 wires (probably black).
You say you checked for loose wires in the switches -- but how about in a wire nut that feeds the switches? If the power wire is not making good contact, you will have the problems you describe.
But I'm sitting here at my desk, no photos to look at. But it's simple to check (probably best with the power off).This message has been edited. Last edited by: Re-mdlr,

Certainly on to something there, Re-mdlr. I would venture a guess you have nailed it, but with trouble shooting that may be 99% the culprit.
Popeye only reached for the Spinach can as a last resort...
I checked the wire nut and all the wires are tite inside of it!
Sounds improbable but bad switches?
Popeye only reached for the Spinach can as a last resort...
I changed 1 of the switches and it didnt help. I plan on changing the other one today and see what happens!
How about the wire nut holding all the white wires?? A bad connection there could be the problem also. There are lots of times when I'll grab a wire nut to pull out a set of wires and 'pop', a wire comes popping out because it wasn't properly connected.This message has been edited. Last edited by: Re-mdlr,
They make it look so easy on tv, don't they
Ok replaced both switches and checked the wire nut for loose wires. Still not fixed!
Are you confident in your abilities to use a voltage meter to check for proper voltage at the fixtures ? If that is a yes give it a try. May tell us something for sure.
Popeye only reached for the Spinach can as a last resort...
Last month, I too faced this kind of problem with my bathroom connection. Actually, It will be happening with the connection. I think, At the time of construction, Proper wiring installation is not done. With that, I faced a continuous problem. Then with the suggestion of my friend, I consulted one of the well experienced electrician and solved my problem. Make sure to get the quick solution for these kind of electrical issues whenever we can face in any kind of situation.
the house has been wired since 1999.It is a mobile home. I checked for voltage at the receptacles I got nothing at one of them. Im not sure where the power feed going to it comes from. I figured it was fed from another receptacle but the one I thought fed it has power coming in and out of it. I have no loose wires anywhere. The only thing I couldn't check was the exhaust fan wiring.
You say you got nothing at one of the receptacles -- you wouldn't happen to have a light switch that seems to do nothing would you -- if so, that light switch might operate that receptacle (or half of it, so check both plugs)This message has been edited. Last edited by: Re-mdlr,
They make it look so easy on tv, don't they
The 2 switches in the bathroom dont work. The receptacle that doesnt work is in the bedroom. Im not getting power in either plug. I was thinking power came in at the bedroom switch, went down the wall to a receptacle(that is working) and crossed the wall to the one thats not getting power. Am I wrong?
My comment was to address the not working outlet, and not the bathroom switches. According to building codes, as you enter the bedroom there is supposed to be a switch to turn on a light as you enter. That light can be in the form of an overhead light attached to the ceiling, OR , the switch can operate an outlet so someone can have a table lamp plugged in, and then it would turn on. I was wondering if that non working outlet might be activated by a switch, such as the one entering the bedroom.
Sitting here, I can't tell how your house is wired. But putting lights on the same circuit as outlets is not a good idea, but it's also not prohibited, and there is no telling how someone else wired it. You'd have to turn on and off circuit breakers to see what is hooked to what.
Now, none of this is to help solve your problem of the light switches in the bathroom, it just addresses the non working outlet, which I can't help but wonder why it does not work (or does the switch activate it?) And have you taken the cover plate off that outlet and looked at the wires?This message has been edited. Last edited by: Re-mdlr,

Easy Bricks quilt made for Moda Bake Shop. I used 2 Layer Cakes (collections of 10" squares) to create both quilts. For the Bricks quilt I used more of the saturated colors to contrast with the white fabric. This one I used all the light prints and the remaining brights to create a more washed out color palette. Both quilts were machine quilted by my friend, Meridee.

Gorgeous quilt by the way.
es preciosa, me encanta!!!ReplyDelete
I love your work. All of it. Every time!ReplyDelete
Beautiful! Both quilts are amazing and I love that fabric (that's probably why I chose it for my baby's quilt). Love your hour glass pattern too!ReplyDelete
This is my favorite Amy! Beautiful!ReplyDelete
Stunningly beautiful ... I love your quilt.ReplyDelete
Good grief, that's a beautiful quilt! I love those sort of vintage, pretty affairs. And your Green Gables reference has made my night. Gilbert Blythe, my first literary love!ReplyDelete
I really like the color choices. And strawberries always remind me of my Grandma which is always a good thing:)ReplyDelete
Beautiful quilt, love those colour choices! I think you're right though, Marilla would think they were just too airy fairy :oDReplyDelete
They just opened a Cath Kidston store round the corner from my office. I'm doooooomed!
I do believe that Cath and Anne would be thrilled with the results :)ReplyDelete
Beautiful quilt -- and love the quilt holder!ReplyDelete
I don't know how I missed this great achievement of Bakal's last night. It's funny because I was just thinking, whoever is holding that quilt did a great job, no fingers showing! That's tough for us pros to do let alone a rookie. Nice job.ReplyDelete
- AnonymousSeptember 6, 2011 at 7:10 PM
Ohhh Amy- this is absolutely gorgeous!! And you're right-why mess with perfection- I LOVE this whole collection! Hubby did a great job holding it up. :)ReplyDelete
so pretty! i love how this quilt came out!ReplyDelete

I love both of your beautiful quilts! Lovely fabric collection :)ReplyDelete
All of your quilts are very beautiful. I also saw some of your designs and I am surprised when I saw the Hour Glass Quilt, it really grabbed my attention.ReplyDelete
Gorgeous. Makes me want to go strawberry picking.ReplyDelete
Anne Shirley had great taste, style & passion! Beautiful quilt! Yes, she would've loved it. And even if Marilla would think it to "froofy" she would still appreciate all the hard work put into it. :o)ReplyDelete
I love that vintage feel, it's so pretty :)ReplyDelete
So beautiful! I love the border fabric, it's so vintage-y and cute!ReplyDelete
S x
Gorgeous! The fabrics are shown so nicely. Anne would have dreamt of such a quilt : ) I think Marilla would have seen the quilt as a way to show love; through honest handwork, much like Rachel Lynde's tabacco quilts Anne take to College. (I named my daughter Marilla!) love AOGG : )ReplyDelete
Amy, this is such a pretty quilt!!ReplyDelete
I really like the way that turned out. So soft and relaxing to look at and I'm sure really warm to snuggle under. I just got a big pile of charms in the mail and I've been thinking about making them into hour glass blocks. Of course I have no idea when I'll get time to start that.ReplyDelete
I could not be more in love with your quilt! :o) And adorable references to Anne's taste in quilts. :o)ReplyDelete
I have a layer cake in this fabric and can not wait to cut into it. You have created such lovely quilts with yours!!
Have a nice week.
Sincerely, Trish

Gorgeous quilt! I love the Anne of Green Gables reference. I am making a quilt for my little girl out of Strawberry fields - - LOVE the fabric!!ReplyDelete

I just LOVE the strawberry quilt, it's so beautiful! I'm still working on my first quilt ever and it's really hard. You should be so proud!ReplyDelete
The strawberry quilt is lovely. The gingham binding is a nice touch.ReplyDelete

Delius: A Village Romeo and Juliet in London and Wexford(August 2012)
Frederick Delius's most admired opera, A Village Romeo and Juliet, is heard in concert in London and on stage at the Wexford Festival, in celebration of the composer's 150th anniversary year.
This year is the 150th anniversary of Delius's birth and highlights include performances of A Village Romeo and Juliet, the fourth and most frequently staged of his six operas. A concert performance takes place at the Southbank Centre in London on 25 September with the New London Orchestra conducted by Ronald Corp. This is recompense for the disappointing cancellation last year of The Royal Opera's planned staging following the death of Sir Charles Mackerras. The London cast includes Andrew Staples and Anna Devin in the title roles with David Wilson-Johnson as The Dark Fiddler and Andrew Shore and Christopher Maltman as the fathers of the star-crossed lovers.
A new staged production of A Village Romeo and Juliet is presented by the Wexford Festival with a run of four performances opening on 26 October. Directed by Stephen Medcalf and conducted by Rory MacDonald, the staging draws on descriptions in Gottfried Keller's short story on which Delius based the opera, together with imagery from Edward Munch's paintings where isolated figures are fused with an abstracted countoured landscape.
Composed in 1900-01 and premiered at the Komische Oper in Berlin in 1907, Delius's opera blends Wagnerian harmonies and Leitmotif techniques with French impressionist orchestration and his highly individual skills at animistic nature tone-painting. The Shakespearean story of Romeo and Juliet is transplanted to a Swiss rural community where young lovers are separated by farming families feuding over a strip of land. The Dark Fiddler, the rightful owner, is an ambiguous threatening presence as fate unfolds to its tragic conclusion. Set pieces include a dream wedding that can never be, and the famous final interlude The Walk to the Paradise Garden.
The opera was also revived in a new production in January at the Karlsruhe Staatstheater, described by DPA Focus as "a triumph for both Delius and the theatre".
"A late Romantic sound, a hint of impressionism, exquisite colourings, chromatically seasoned, softly swaying, swelling once, twice, near to rapture. It gives the impression of emphasizing the melody, without the melody being truly tangible – a sonic post-Wagnerian stream: engaging and often heart-warming."
The festival season has brought high profile performances of Delius's major concert works. The BBC Proms has programmed Delius in both the First Night and Last Night with two Whitman settings: Sea Drift with Bryn Terfel (13 July) and Songs of Farewell (8 September), with the BBC Symphony Orchestra and conductors Mark Elder and Jirí Belohlávek respectively. The Edinburgh Festival is launched in epic style on 10 August with a sold-out performance of Delius's pantheistic Nietzsche oratorio A Mass of Life, with the Royal Scottish National Orchestra conducted by Andrew Davis.

Dear OncoLink "Ask The Experts,"
I am a small animal vet who is currently working up potential bone cancer in a pit bull. What are the incidences of osteosarcoma in pit bulls? The owners found something on the Internet about using tetracycline to treat osteosarcomas, while I have never heard of this treatment. I was wondering if there was any new research I am not aware of? Thank you.
Lili Duda, VMD, Section Editor of the OncoLink Veterinary Oncology Menu, responds:
The current incidence of osteosarcoma in "pit bull" type dogs is currently unknown. Coincidentally, however, this information is currently being compiled and will be posted on OncoLink's veterinary site within the next few months. In general, while any dog can develop osteosarcoma, it is much more common in large and giant breed dogs.
Regarding tetracyclines in the treatment of cancer, there was some research done within the past 5 years or so. It was primarily studying the effects of tetracyclines on prevention of tumor metastases to bone, rather than treatment of primary bone tumors. The rationale is based on the tetracycline class of drugs' ability to inhibit connective tissue breakdown via inhibition of matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs). However, there have been no conclusive studies showing that inhibition of MMPs, by tetracyclines or by other drugs, has had a significant and reliable anti-cancer effect.
Dec 22, 2014 - Interleukin-11 receptor alpha appears to present a target for therapy of osteosarcoma, according to research published online Feb. 24 in Cancer Research.

Available Projects
Hi, First time poster here!
Here is the rundown of my problem... I bought a home in Maryland a few months ago that has a oil forced air furnace that is probably half the minimum size recommended for the house (previous owners installed the furnace then built 950 sq ft of additions but added no supplemental HVAC). The basement is about 700 sq ft with another 950 sq ft of crawlspace that has open access to the basement, all unfinished with no insulation at all. The floors over the crawlspaces are always cold (1 carpet, 2 tile and 1 hardwood).
Ultimately I want to replace the furnace (it's 12 years old so I'll probably have to do it sooner rather than later anyway), but I don't have the money to do that right now. I'm looking for ways to supplement it without draining my wallet. At this rate, I'm going to spend about $1000 a month in heating oil and that is physically painful to think about. I've opened the dampers to the rooms we use most and either completely closed or mostly closed the dampers to the rooms we don't use (mainly bedrooms on the 2nd floor).
The front running solution so far is to install baseboard heaters for the bedrooms upstairs and to use space heaters in the rooms that are over the crawlspaces(master bedroom/bathroom, large sunroom and family room). I have a 2 year old and even though his room is upstairs, it gets pretty cold at night unless I crank up the thermostat.
I have a fireplace, and eventually want to get a wood or pellet insert but it's not centrally located so I'm not sure if an insert would actually help heat the house or just make the room with the fireplace so uncomfortably hot we don't want to use it.
I have been told to insulate the basement and crawlspaces and install a pellet/wood stove down there by family/friends, but I've read a lot of mixed opinions about whether it will be worthwhile, since we don't really plan on using it as living space, just storage (and maybe a workshop type room...). I'm not sure how much it would cost to insulate my basement(or even the best way to go about doing it) but between my husband, myself and our family, we are pretty experienced with remodel projects, so if I can figure out the right best way to proceed, I'm sure we can do some, if not all, of the work ourselves.
Ideally I want to do something that won't be just a Band-Aid. I'm hoping whatever I do will cut down my heating costs even after I replace the furnace. Any advice would be appreciated.
With $1,000 a month going out to heat what sounds like a fairly small house your best bet will be to borrow the money to install a more efficient system. Just dong some simple math: A new, energy efficient system could cost as little as $300 a month to run - or even less. Even if a totally new system costs you $10,000 you can finance it over 4 years for around $250 per month. Meaning that you could be paying $550 per month for something better than what is costing you $1,000 now. Even better savings after you pay the whole thing off.
You can also get a quick payback if you add insulation provided your house is poorly insulated now. Here too, even if you have to borrow the money for some insulation you will come out ahead.
Many utilities around the country have low interest loans available to upgrade what you have and ultimately reduce energy usage. This could make borrowing the money even more attractive.
The wood stove in the basement is a good idea too. Even if you do not use the basement as living space, all the heat from the wood stove will rise and heat the floor of your main living space. This will not only cut down on the load on your main furnace but will make for some toasty floors - really nice in winter.
Overall, while it may seem like you have a big problem the fact that yo are spending so much money now means that you are actually in a situation where it is very easy and inexpensive to better your situation. Odds are good that you can make your house more efficient and save money at the same time.This message has been edited. Last edited by: Jaybee,
Thank you for your responses. I guess I will get started calling HVAC companies to get quotes on a new system installation. My only concern is that with just buying our house, I'm worried we may not be approved for financing. But I guess there's only one way to find that out. And I have some more research to do on adding insulation. My electric company does offer some rebates for energy efficient upgrades, but you have to pay a contractor to do them and it's not enough to offset the cost of paying someone else to do it.
As far as making the floors warm by adding a woodstove in the basement, would that also warm the floors over the crawlspaces? Two of the additions that are over crawlspaces are tile and one is a wood floor. All three are cold, but the tile is really really cold. I guess I'll have to research and figure out how to insulate the crawlspaces but not insulate between the crawlspace and the floor above it...
Usually a crawlspace will have open ventilation to the outside - needed to keep it from retaining too much moisture. But crawlspaces are not usually heated. Without a heat source in the crawlspace, you will not see any warmth to your floors. Best thing for the crawlspace would be to insulate the floor above in those areas. This is reasonably easy (depending on how much height you have in the space). Batts of R-19 insulation are placed in-between all the floor joists and are held in place with thin wire hangers. Just put the paper side of the insulation up towards the living space and place a hanger every few feet. Some cutting will be requires around plumbing / electrical and for the odd spaced floor joist. As a DIY project, this will cost you about $1 per square foot of area covered. It's a good project that will get you payback in a few years with an immediate increase in comfort due to warmer floors.
If you do add the wood stove to the basement area, then this will certainly help for all floors directly above. If there is access from the basement to the crawlspaces, then you may be able to heat those areas too - provided you seal off any outside ventilation from the crawl. Note that come spring, you will want to open up the foundation vents once again.
I agree that financing could be tricky since you have recently purchased, but you may get around that if you can finance through your local energy provider. However you do it, it's a no-brainer if you can get rid of those $1,000 per month heating bills.
Our home inspector mentioned it was odd that there weren't any vents on the crawlspaces. They are open to the basement though. Each crawlspace has about a 2'x9' opening from the basement. Two of the crawlspaces have a concrete slab, the other one I think the other is just a dirt floor with a membrane over it. I hate the idea of heating the crawlspace, but those tile floors are very cold and it makes the whole room cold. The one room we close the doors and it is so cold we can use it for cold storage. Even though there is a heat duct run to the room, it gets next to no heat/airflow.
We have been talking about insulating between the crawlspaces and floors, but haven't done it yet because we were trying to figure out the best way to proceed before we did anything. I guess my first step is to get some quotes on new furnaces. I'm hoping with a new furnace those rooms over the crawlspaces will actually get heat supplied to them and won't be as cold.
As far as insulation goes, you will see more benefit from insulating the attic over the walls or floors. Insulating walls would be next, but often this is not possible to do.
Both attics and floors are fairly easy to add more insulation to.
I would rather have you listen to advice provided by HVAC people than what a home inspector might decide is correct or not. Easily the most difficult trade to understand all the ins & outs of heating & cooling.
Spammer bump as well.
Popeye only reached for the Spinach can as a last resort...
It sounds like you have a conditioned crawlspace, though not completely. With a conditioned crawlspace you insulate the walls and keep it warmish in the winter and coolish in the summer versus a vented crawlspace.
With a conditioned crawlspace you want to have some heat and AC going into them, though you certainly don't need to keep that at the same temperature as the first floor. The AC will keep any moisture in check better than a vented crawlspace. How you should expect a vented crawlspace in hot and humid MD to stay dry in the summer is anyones guess, but it is done all the time.
Google "conditioned crawlspace" for more details. You may need to beef up the insulation on your basement and crawlspace walls, but I'd defer to experts on the ground as to what your should do.
General Disclaimer
Any advice given here is general in nature and is not necessarily valid for your given area. If in doubt check with your local codes enforcement department for what is required when doing electrical, plumbing or structural work on your house. Permits may or may not be required in your area and home owners may not be able to DIY some tasks. I have no way of knowing if you have the skills needed to complete the tasks you are asking about, when in doubt seek professional assistance.
My advice may be worth exactly what you pay me for it. :-) For the record I did not stay in a Holiday Inn Express last night.
I am planning on adding insulation to my attics. I know the one over the main house and one of the additions should have more after researching the Department of Energy website. The other two additions, I haven't seen yet because the only access is from outside. My home inspector checked them, but I didn't climb up there myself.
I didn't have too much confidence in this home inspector... The man I wanted to use (had used him when I bought my first house) had to be booked a month in advance and I only had a week to get my inspection done... I have a HVAC "comfort specialist" coming out tomorrow from a local company to give me a quote and do an assessment for what the best type of system would be. It says on their website that they check and consider the insulation in your home while they are here. We'll see how extensive that check is though.
Thank you for giving me the terminology for that! Believe it or not, I've been trying to google the proper way to insulate a crawl space (or even if it should be insulated) and I couldn't get much of anything to come up, but once I searched "conditioned crawl space" it came up with the type of information I was looking for. Thank you very much. There is no insulation in the crawlspaces or basement right now, so I'm sure adding insulation to those spaces will be next on my list after meeting with the "comfort specialist" tomorrow.
Thank you all for your responses. They are very informative and helped me clear up what needs to be done to solve this problem. I'm noticing more and more things that the previous owners didn't do up to the standard they should have (heating, insulation, AC system)... So they saved money in the short term but I'm sure they lost a lot more from the time they did the additions to when they sold the house (about 4 years from my guesses). Then the people we bought it from didn't do anything to try to remedy the situation. It boggles my mind that someone would live here for 8 years and not bother fixing any of this stuff. I've been here 4 months and that's enough! Haha! Then again, the neighbors did warn me that the people we bought the house from "weren't domestic." Haha.

Vivian Howard originally made a name for herself in the Manhattan restaurant world and with her own gourmet delivery service.
Sweet Corn & Expensive Tea
Chef Vivian and her husband, Ben, leave New York to open a restaurant in her small North Carolina hometown. Vivian revisits the Southern tradition of "putting up" corn and shares her method for making smoked corn relish. As the episode concludes, a devastating setback threatens their new life.
Strawberry Stay at Home
Vivian and Ben rebuild their restaurant against the backdrop of the Southern harbinger of spring, the strawberry. Their twins go on their first strawberry-picking excursion, and Vivian and a friend develop a recipe for coconut cornbread strawberry shortcake with basil whipped cream.
Pimp My Grits
The restaurant gears up for a practice service when the new equipment and new menu will be tested in real time - but nothing is going as planned. One of the big changes to the restaurant's menus is the addition of a section called "Pimp My Grits," where Vivian exalts the lowly, quintessentially Southern ingredient in four distinct ways.
Cracklin' Kitchen
Vivian goes about christening the restaurant's new "whole animal, no waste" program with two little pigs from Warren Brothers' farm. She uses everything - including the skin - and, on her father's recommendation, demonstrates how to make sweet potatoes with cracklins.
Tomatoes....You Say Heirloom, I Say Old Timey
Mary Vaughn shows Chef Vivian the old-timey way to can tomatoes. Vivian prepares for a Southern Foodways Alliance luncheon at the restaurant where food enthusiasts from around the country are coming to study BBQ, and Vivian plans to serve them the "ultimate tomato sandwich."
The World Is Your Oyster
Vivian goes to Cedar Island to explore the new culture of farm-raised oysters in the Southeast. She and Ben share plans of opening an oyster bar across the street from Chef & the Farmer in hopes it will be a place that adds character and variety to the tiny town's "dining scene." Vivian and her dad orchestrate their family's first-ever oyster roast and are blown away by how much everyone enjoys it.
Muscadine Time
Ben, Vivian and the twins pick muscadine grapes at a small local vineyard while learning the history of this native grape. Vivian visits Mike and Gator, her grape suppliers, and makes homemade wine. Back at the restaurant, Vivian makes a pizza with mulled muscadines, and Ben tests this new creation during their first stressful pizza night in the wine shop.
A Road Trip for Rice
Vivian travels to Columbia, South Carolina, to meet with Glenn Roberts of Anson Mills and learns about Carolina heirloom rice growing in fields on the Savannah River. Glenn explains Anson Mills' efforts to save heirloom grains and discusses the importance of ingredient biodiversity. Glenn's passion inspires Vivian to host a "rice dinner" at Chef & the Farmer, where each course centers around this grain. Scarlett, Vivian's mom, schools her daughter on how to make the chicken and rice she grew up eating.
A Peanut Pastime
Vivian visits neighbor Marty Harper's peanut farm just before and during harvest. Vivian's dad introduces Ben and Vivian to the old school break snack, a pack of salted peanuts dumped into a Pepsi in a glass bottle. At the restaurant, Vivian translates the snack into Pepsi glazed pork belly with country ham braised peanuts. Vivian reinvents the popular Southern snack, boiled peanuts, for the local farmers' market.
Love Me Some Candied Yams!
Vivian introduces viewers to Rob and Amy Hill, proprietors of one of the largest sweet potato farms in the country and two of the restaurant's best customers. Vivian and her mom, Scarlett, make her grandmother's candied yams, and Vivian later re-imagines these for the restaurant with texture, sorghum and pecans. Mother Earth Brewery and Chef & the Farmer team up for a beer dinner, featuring first-of-the-season sweet potatoes.
Collard Green Queen
Vivian spends the morning with her neighbors, the Mills brothers, participating in their 100-year-old all-male family tradition of making collard kraut. Vivian visits Warren at Brother's farm to talk about the Eastern Carolina ingredient with a cult following, the cabbage collard. Vivian prepares for an event called Terra Vita, where she will serve three courses to 100 people and make collards the star they deserve to be.
The Buttermilk Belt
Vivian and Ben go to Maple View Dairy to pick up product for the restaurant. They talk buttermilk with the dairy's manager, and the noise Ben makes while savoring his cup of the thick liquid annoys his wife. The couple attempts to shoot the twins' Christmas card picture in the family's swimming-pool-turned-turnip patch, while Vivian's nieces and nephews desperately try to make buttermilk with their great-grandmother's butter churn.
Have Yourself Some Moonshine
Vivian visits Broad Slab Distillery, where they talk about the art and soul of white lightning. The restaurant's mixologist works moonshine into several new drinks, while the restaurant staff struggles through the holiday party season. They end the season with a party of their own at Ben and Vivian's new house, with AppleJack Moonshine cocktails making a guest appearance.

The new Docet Institute is a preschool in Monterrey, Mexico that was designed with a sensitive eye toward children's needs, energy requirements, and the wooded downtown property it is sited on. The interior is spacious and light-filled, and it wraps around to preserve a natural area with mature trees. The architects at Stación-ARquitectura Arquitectos took the brilliant step of wrapping the school in a breathable metal skin to reduce heat gain, which in turn substantially lowers operating costs for the school in the balmy Mexican climate.
The school is located along a main street in town, on a site that featured a number of mature trees. The trees were preserved by carefully placing the building, which has an L-shape. The gauzy façade was developed by the architect and manufactured at a local machine shop. To create it, corrugated steel sheets were punched and coated with a white paint. The sheets are installed on a block wall and provide protection from the sun in addition to a unique, soft profile that fits within the project's limited budget.

|Everybody claims that Kira's forces are vastly over-matched by the Romulans. Okay, so why not move the station to the moon using the same technology they used to move it to the wormhole in the first place? We're always being told it's a Bajoran station after all, and it's massively armed. Even if it couldn't make it to the moon in time to aid the blockade, she could have her fleet scatter and then threaten to use the station to destroy the base and the Romulan fleet once it did get there.
The Romulans establish a hospital on an unused Bajoran moon. But when they move heavy weapons in to "defend" it, Kira takes a stand that may end the entire alliance against the Dominion. Meanwhile, Sisko follows his vision in an attempt to locate the last remaining Orb of the Prophets. Ezri, the latest host of the Dax symbiont, tags along despite the fact that she is still struggling to cope with a joining she was never prepared for.

Bruno Senna is understandably excited heading to his home race as Williams look to finish on a high.
For all the latest F1 odds on the Brazilian GP, the final round of the 2012 F1 Championship, visit Sky Bet.
Pastor Maldonado: The Brazilian Grand Prix is very special and there's no better place to finish the season. The atmosphere is very Latin American and the fans are some of the most passionate and knowledgeable in the world. It's also close to Venezuela so I always see lots of Venezuelan flags around the track and lots of Venezuelan people around Sao Paolo so it feels a bit like a home Grand Prix. The whole team will want to finish the season with a strong result and head into the winter with some good momentum.
Bruno Senna: I'm extremely excited to go back home for the final race of the season. Racing at your home Grand Prix always has a different flavour to it and the energy and excitement you get from the crowd is amazing. I've only had the chance to race at home in Formula One twice, but on both occasions the crowd gave me an extra boost. Interlagos is a circuit that most drivers like. It's very technical and difficult to get the most out of it so leads to some exciting racing. We've been improving a lot in the last few races and hopefully we can continue that upward trend and get another double points finish here.
Mark Gillan, Chief Operations Engineer: The 71 lap long high altitude Interlagos circuit is one of the highlights of the season and one where overtaking is possible. Setting the car up for this circuit is the classic compromise between pandering to the high downforce requirements of the medium-low speed corners in sector 2 versus the low drag demands of the uphill section from the important T12 exit right up to the start-finish line. After a double points finish in Austin, we will be looking for a similar result here to end the season on a high note.

MatchMaker Help
We have carefully developed the Match Maker to help guide you to an airgun that is right for you. Our products are available for a broad audience and can be used by many but there are cases where a product may be easier to use than another from person to person. There also may be different types of guns that are better or worse for specific uses.
Our guns are designed to be accessible and easy to pick up and use, but a certain amount of physical strength is required to use some of our products. For example our break barrels require a lot of upper body strength to cock so a person lacking in upper body strength may have a difficult time using one of these models. The goal of the Match Maker is to guide you to a product that is easy to use and enjoy. Our recommendations are intended to be helpful and guide you to the product that is right for you.
Below are some definitions of the categories you may encounter in the Match Maker.
Target shooting
Target shooting is a very common use for airguns; paper targets are a typical example. It is a good way to improve shooting skills and marksmanship.
Plinking and Casual Shooting
The term "plinking" refers to any kind of casual shooting. The most common example is setting up old cans as targets. It is one of the most common uses for airguns and the one most associated with the hobby.
Competitive Shooting
There are many types of shooting competitions available for anyone interested. Silhouette shooting, for example, is a rapidly growing sport that involves shooting at metal targets in the shapes of animals (chicken, pig, turkey, and ram), which are placed at 20, 30, 36, and 45 yards, respectively. As in other forms of shooting competition, there are divisions based on skill level and classifications based on type of equipment.
There are other types of shooting matches as well. If you search, you will probably find that there are clubs or teams in your area that have regular meets. Even in urban areas, there are indoor ranges where matches are held. You might want to attend some matches to see which are most interesting to you.
Pest Control and Hunting Game
Small Game Hunting and Pest Control are also common uses for airguns. Game or pests from the size of a rabbit to a mouse can be hunted with an airgun. If you choose to use your airgun for pest control or hunting, please note the following considerations.
Laws and Regulations
It is your responsibility to be aware of any laws or rules which may affect shooting of pests or hunting game in your area. Check with the local municipalities and conservation office where you intend to shoot. Follow all rules for safe and legal hunting and pest control.
Gun Selection
It is very important to select a gun that is appropriate for the size animal you are intending to hunt. Different model air rifles have different power levels that can be used for larger or smaller animals. Please be sure the gun you have is appropriate.
Small Pests and Game
Airguns with this icon could be used for shooting small pests such as mice, sparrows and starlings.
Medium Pests and Game
Airguns with this icon could be used for shooting at larger pests such as rats and pigeons.
Large Pests and Game
Airguns with this icon could be used for shooting at small game such as crows, rabbits and squirrels.
Shot placement is critical, so never attempt to shoot at any animal until you have mastered aiming and accuracy. Be aware of what you will hit if you miss. Practice on paper targets until you are very accurate.
When shooting at pests or hunting, most shooters choose pellets, as they are generally more accurate.

I think we may have discussed this before, however, I had a thought. Out here in the Mid West, they play "rock, paper, scissors. I don't ever recall this in NYC. We used to play "odds & evens"...We would say, once twice three, shoot , and either throw out 1 or 2 fingers..I also played Mumbly Peg where you threw a knife into the ground as close to your foot as possible. We also "flipped baseball cards", and played pitch pennies. I remember a street game called "WAR", and of course the schoolyard games like boxball, handball and stoop ball. Any others come to mind??
We also played a game called King of the hill. It was great when we had those high mounds of snow created by the snow plows.I also played a game called land which I think I brought down from Canada. We would draw a rectangle on bare dirt with a stick. Then take turns throwing our pocket knives to stick the blade into the ground inside of the rectangle or square. Where the blade stuck we would draw a parallel line to the edge of the square and put our initials in the box. We would take turns and the kid who wound up with the most little boxes won. Game was really hard on our knives.
I can remember the day's when it took 10 minutes of scrubing with Lava Soap to clean up my hands from those street games!
ring o lario, manhunt, touch football in the street, off the curb with a spaldeen or pensy pinky
I remember every one of those games, although, it was stoop ball instead of curb ball. I would add Box Ball, Box Baseball, and Hit the Penny.
The marble game with the cutouts in the shoe box.
I remember playing stoop ball when I was bored,,and had nothing to do. One bounce off the stoop was five points, a catch directly off the stoop was ten points, and if you hit the point of the stoop and caught it,it was about twenty points. Spalding balls were best for stick ball,and pency pinkey balls were better for hand ball,because they were softer,and didn't bounce as high. Box ball was played using the square sidewalk boxes. P.S.- Down here in S.C.,they do not know the term "stoop". They never heard of the word,nor know what it is.
Charlie--Do you remember calling it a stoop or a front stoop? We always called it the "front stoop". I don't know why, because we didn't have a back stoop. When I lived in Cambria, we had a nice brick front stoop w/high sides. So much of our childhood was conducted on our Queens stoops. Lotsa good memories.
I think "stoops" are pretty much a northeast term. Baltinore is known for their stoops and there are stoops in PA. as well as NY & NJ. I am not sure about the new England states. I guess a stoop would be an urban front porch. Any comments about rock,paper,scissors? I never heard of it in my growing up days in NY.. We used to play king of the hill as well ,mostly on the grass.

The word stoop is from the dutch word meaning small porch. It was brought here by the dutch to the Hudson Valley. The term is now used in the Northeast. I referred to the stoop in front ofmy house to my husband's Irish cousins. Had to explain the meaning to them.
Can still recall how some of the neighborhood landlords and supers did not like us hanging out on their stop.As for the Spaldine's during the summer months a visit to the roof (Tar beach) showed where all the lost balls went.
Sal, we used to go around to the sewers in the neighborhood, and fish out the spaldeens with a coat hangar.When we played stoopball in Pomonok (Flushing), it was more like baseball rules, it was an out if a fielder cught the ball on a fly, or a grounder was caught. Whether it was a single, double, etc, depended on where it landed.Jimbo, what was the marble game with a shoebox? Sounds vaguely familiar.
How long did Horn & Hardart exist in Harlem on 125th St and when did it close down?
Pomonoker, We would take the cover of a shoe box and then cut slots or openings in it along the bottom length of the box, like little loops. You cut them out different sizes, some just wide enough to allow a marble to pass through when flicked using your thumb. The top of the slot would be marked in accordance to the width of the slot. The very narrow would be marked10, the wider slots would be marked 1 to 5 as the size of the slot changed. It was a lot of fun and promoted competition in a way that no one got hurt.
Olivia - I called it just plain stoop,and that referred to the front brick stairs in the front of the house.We never had a rear stoop,so we never called it a front stoop. In the summer time,on hot summer nights, alot of people would hang out on their stoop and shoot the breeze,drink cold beer,and just watch what was going on on the block. I would say,this was your normal sight in Queens on a summer night,between six p.m.and ten p.m. Where I live now,NOBODY hangs out,and your lucky to see your neighbor once a week. Get invited to someones house for coffee------ not a chance. It's a completely different world now,and one I do not care for.
My memories of the tenament stoop were as follows: During the early afternoon mothers with children would park their carriages in front of their buidling and talk with discuss the difficult job of raising children and tending to house chores. Including a lot of gossip!This would normally end before the other tenants arrived home from their jobs. In the evening tenants would talk among themselves until 8 PM and then head down to 1st or 2nd Avenue for the early bird edition of the Daily News. Some of the older gents would hang out at the news stand on 53rd & 2nd reading the pony sheets. As young kids we normally played games outside our building. As teens we would normally pick a stoop on the block where we had more privacy.Talking about schools,jobs and adventures of the world. Calling the year make and model of the cars that passed by.During the summer months bought back some of my fondest memories where one in the group would have a Transitor radio and we would listen to the local disc jockey like Alan Freed. Spinning the weekly top ten rock n roll songs.Ed & Pomonoker-Some of the neighborhood kids and characters were labled with those cartoon character names!

Sal, in the early 50s, my parents would send me to the candy stoire on the corner about 8:30.. I would buy the News and the Mirror...I believe both papers were 3 cents apiece. Mickey Finn, Lil Abner, Joe Palooka, Kerry Drake, The Phantom, Henry, Brenda Starr etc/. All great memories of times gone by.
Did anyone mention a street game called kick the can?
And don't forget Dondi, when talking about the old comic strips!
You are correct, I forgot to mention Dondi, and as he woud have said "GOSHE'S!!
I have a nephew who looked like Dondi when he was a little kid. He's 44 now, & looks like John Gotti Jr's twin. I have a photo from my middle son's wedding of my nephew on the church steps talking to my ex husband, who looks like an aging mob boss. Everytime I look @ the pic, I do a double take.
very good!
