Staying competitive for Navy Nurse Corps recruitment. - page 2
Hello, I have been wrestling with the idea of Navy nursing since I graduated last June (2011); I used the following summer months to study and sit for NCLEX. Unknown to me I dropped the ball with the application process because,... Read More
- 4Jun 6, '12 by CynRN11utamaverick
I actually am not prior enlisted. I also was a (relatively) new grad and came in as an Ensign. I am probably a little older than the average new nurse coming in, so this is my second career. I have extensive experience in management and had owned my own business before going back to to school for nursing, so I seemed to relate very well to the ideas the Navy lays out, in theory anyway, of how junior officers and senor enlisted work together.
You will hear a lot of how the senior enlisted are the backbone of the Navy. They are the people who have worked their way up through the ranks and have usually a minimum of 10 or so years before they can be eligible to sit for the test to become a Chief, or E7 and 16 years for Senior Chief. They have a tremendous amount of knowledge in the area they are trained in and have taken on the additional responsibilities of leading the enlisted ranks under them. So they do function on a much higher level than a civilian counterpart in that respect, but as with anything, you can have good Chiefs and not so good Chiefs who are just wanting for their 20 years. Again, working in a hospital is quite different than working out in the fleet. There are probably prior enlisted on this site that can give more input as to how a successful working relationship is built between the Divo (division officer) and the Chief or Senior Chief. I can tell you, though, that as an officer you are always watched, not just by your chain of command, but also by the enlisted. I had a Seaman Recruit just yesterday comment on the fact that he was impressed seeing an officer who kept her boots shined to come in for a work day, not just for inspections. You are the standard that the enlisted see, and believe me, there are Chiefs who love to catch new Ensigns not squared away!
So as a junior officer, you have several things you are working on. Once you get to your duty station, refining your clinical skills now becomes a priority. That is the basis for how you can steer your career as a nurse in the Navy. As you are placed in a section within the hospital, you will work a lot with corpsmen, and many times also medics from the Army, as the integration of the military gears up. Delegation works the same as civilian hospitals. They have a scope of practice they can work within, and it can range from some of them who work more administratively to corpsmen who function almost at a PA level. Your level of responsibility is what you make it, but always be aware you don't want to be that nurse who cant say no and ends up getting nothing done because they take on too much in their eagerness to make a good impression.
These are just my observations and how I am choosing to have a working relationship with a wide range of people. I take my commitment to the Navy very seriously, from making sure my uniform and hair are squared away before I leave in the morning, to being within regs for weight and the passing the physical fitness tests. If the sailors and marines under me have to, there is no excuse for me not to. The scope of leadership you take on is dependent on your maturity level and what you feel you can realistically accomplish while getting your clinical experience, as well as what your chain of command sees in you. Again, I am sure there are those with more naval experience than myself who could give real and practical advice on leadership roles.

FREDERICKSBURG, Va. (AP) - Fredericksburg's deputy fire chief says a state police bomb technician safely removed a live World War Two-era grenade from a house in the city.
Mike Jones says family members were cleaning out the home Tuesday afternoon when they found the grenade in the bottom of a trunk that had other personal items related to military service during the war.
Firefighters responding to a 9-1-1 call met with the caller to gather further information, then requested help from the Virginia State Police Bomb Squad. The Free Lance-Star reports that the explosive was removed for proper disposal without incident.

Our customers have the flexibility to choose product delivery to their locations in a variety of ways. Products can be purchased out of our warehouses in small bundle quantities, with frequent deliveries. This may be very beneficial for retail space or for slower moving products. For larger volume product needs, we will store and cross-dock for delivery of full units to customer locations. This option can be very helpful in minimizing working inventory in medium volume applications. Depending on volume, these units can be delivered in mixed full or half truckloads or for smaller quantities can be delivered a few units at a time on our regular route trucks. Additionally, full truckloads or full container loads, shipped directly from the manufacturing mill to the customer's door are also available. Various service packages are available with this option to ensure our customer's individual needs are met. This option can minimize the supply chain costs incurred to get the product from the mill to the customer's locations for very high volume applications.
Multiple sourcing options from internal and external mills located domestically or internationally provides the benefit of managed lead times. Because of our flexible sourcing, our customers have multiple options to secure product within shorter delivery lead-times when there are urgent needs. In emergencies, this capability can be very important.

A hat-trick by Italian striker Fabrizio Ravanelli inspired bottom club Middlesbrough to a 6-1 Barclays Premier League defeat of Derby County.
Ravanelli, nicknamed the 'White Feather', scored three second-half goals to help his side earn their sixth victory of the Barclays Premier League campaign. Vladimir Kinder opened the scoring for the hosts before Craig Hignett and Mikkel Beck found the net along with Ravanelli's treble.
Paul Simpson scored a late consolation for the visitors, but Boro completed a crucial victory to boost their prospects of avoiding relegation.
The win galvanised the club and although they remained rooted to the foot of the table despite their impressive result, they went on to record four consecutive victories to move out of the drop zone.
However, Bryan Robson's charges would fall just short of safety, with a 1-1 draw against Leeds United on the final day of the season resulting in their relegation. The Teessiders also enjoyed remarkable runs in the League Cup and FA Cup, but lost in the final of both competitions.
Ravanelli, who joined Middlesbrough from Juventus in the summer of 1996 after scoring in the Serie A side's UEFA Champions League final victory over Dutch outfit Ajax, made an instant impact with 16 goals in a memorable debut season in the Barclays Premier League.
Although Boro fell agonisingly short of safety and success in two cup competitions, the white-haired striker became a cult hero in the north-east after establishing a prolific partnership with the Brazilian playmaker Juninho and devising his own goal celebration, whereby he would pull his shirt over his head.
After just one season Ravanelli left Middlesbrough for Marseille, but he returned to England with Derby in 2001, scoring nine goals in his second full Barclays Premier League season as the Rams were relegated from the English top-flight. After another season at County and a brief stint at Dundee the striker returned to Italy with Perugia in 2004.

ANTIPASTO: The Opening Act
Designing the menu for my cooking classes is part of the fun. Like selecting an outfit for the grand ball, it all has to go together, you don't want to be too fussy or complicated, and at the end, you want to look spectacular.
And so for an antipasto, I go back to a simple recipe I learned from a chef and restaurant owner in Rome several years ago.
Praline di caprino e noci con miele (little goat cheese balls adorned with walnuts, honey, parmigiana-reggiano, and balsamico) have been the starter for many meals in my home since then.
The best part is how easy and foolproof they are to make, and how wonderfully they complement a glass of prosecco, an important part of the overall design.
I'm often asked about Halloween in Italy. Do they celebrate it? Well, sort of. Do the kids dress up? Many do in mostly sweet costumes -not many ghosts and ghoulies walking around. Do adults dress up like the walking dead and decorate their homes with cobwebs? Not as far as I know.
Italy has its own customs though going back long before anyone ever took a knife to carve a pumpkin face, and, not surprisingly, many involve food.
Click below for the story.
It's a problem. You go to Italy and fall in love with the food. Then you come back home, and you don't know where to start. That's when you have to think like an Italian: ingredients and simplicity.
Recipes are easy to find on the internet, on TV, or in cookbooks. But mine are all from chefs and home cooks, those mentors in Italy who opened up their homes and kitchens to me and changed my life through food, one dish at a time. Now that I'm more often at home in the US rather than in Rome, I like to pay it forward by bringing what I've learned over the past 25 years of eating my way through Italy—with unabashed gusto and shameless greed!—to others.
Flavors of Rome's first in a series of cooking classes and presentations featuring the products of Gustiamo is scheduled for November 12 here in South Florida. In deference to the millions of you who won't be able to attend, I offer one of the recipes we'll use in the class, and my favorite of all the classic Roman pasta dishes—Rigatoni All'Amatriciana. Read more >>
Romans love their pasta e ceci so much they've figured out a way to make this cold weather comfort food work for them in the heat of the summer. They call it pasta e ceci freddo, the same dish served, well, not exactly cold, but at room temperature.
With that in mind, one 90-plus degree day here in Florida, I decided to cook up a pot of this classic Roman soup using the bag of Umbrian chickpeas I had just ordered from Gustiamo, my go-to purveyor of Italian imported foods.
At the end though I couldn't wait for the cool down and ate it steaming hot.
Like many soups, pasta e ceci gets better as it sits, and so the next day I just took the chill off in the microwave, topped with a dollop of EVOO and grated parmigiano-reggiano and went at it like a Roman. The flavors were even more intense and satisfying in this "cold" state.
Call them ceci, chickpeas, or garbanzos, if you look at these little legumes (or pulses) closely, you'll see that they resemble little ram heads which is how they got their Latin name, cicer arietinum, from aries, meaning ram.
Sixteenth century seafarers brought the tomato seeds from South America to the shores of Italy. Italians thought they made lovely ornamentals on their verandas, but it took another 200 years before they had the nerve to eat them. Those early tomatoes were not the big red plump variety of today but were cherry sized and yellow. In fact, the Italian word pomodoro translates to yellow apple in early Italian.
Fast forward to modern times and no food is linked to Italian food more than the tomato. And no part of Italy grows better tomatoes than the Amalfi Coast where the tragic and terrifying eruption of Mt. Vesuvius in 79 AD laid a carpet of lava rich soil on the land.Mamma Agata grows tomatoes in Ravello on the Amalfi Coast If you've been to one of her cooking classes, you've surely eaten them, you may even have picked them off the vines – and so you know. If not, allow yourself to remember how tomatoes tasted right from the garden – if you're old enough to complain that nothing tastes like it used to – or imagine the most intensely flavorful tomato you've ever had at some point in your life. Now…you can have that taste in a jar, direct from Mamma Agata's garden to your door.
And not just tomatoes. Along with many other products, Mamma Agata offers her pasta, salt-packed capers, and olive oil – everything grown and produced on her land by her family for you.
To order – or simply to look at the mouth-watering photos- go to http://bit.ly/1iNZKjr.
When ordering, please mention Flavors of Rome.
They're the most Roman of all vegetables – the seductive carciofi romani – those round purple tinged, delicious down to the stem Roman artichokes that take center stage in the outdoor markets and pride of place on menus throughout the Eternal City this time of year.
And these artichokes are the reason, to sate the lust in my soul, I go to Rome every March.
Except for this year
It's not easy to break a 20 year-old habit. There is no patch, no 12-step program, no Dr. Drew to take away the pain and longing.
It does helps to flip through old photos, remembering how the woman who went to Italy for the first time in 1991 in pursuit of Botticelli and Piero della Francesca was hit by a colpo di fulmine (a lightning strike, Italian style) in Rome's Piazza Navona within minutes of entering the gates of that city. There began my obsesssion with Rome and with the food of the country of my ancestors, an obsession that provided the balm I ultimately needed while adjusting to Life After Long Marriage.
Back then I hooked onto my relationship with Italian food like a starving wolf. So many wonderful things to taste, to learn, not only at the table, but about myself.
PLINY THE ELDER wrote about the sacred fig tree in the Roman Forum in early AD, and the Romans have been loving those blessed figs ever since.
Squash one of the luscious end of season figs called settembrini inside a warm slightly salty pizza bianca from the famed Forno Campo de Fiori and you have pizza fichi, food for the gods as well as the rest of us.
Figs come and figs go, but in Italy there's always a seasonal food to get all worked up about. More on this and other bits and bites of Italian food info in How To Eat in Italy…If Chicken Parm is Your Favorite Italian Dish.
And you can have that caffe' (which means coffee, specifically espresso) in a bar which may nor may not serve anything alcoholic. The coffee culture is so strong across Italy that they've managed to do with Starbucks what they never could against the barbarians, and that is keep them from invading their country. So when you travel around Italy, forget about your favorite frappuccino, latte, or venti and allow yourself to experience what the Italians are so addicted to – the simplicity of a deeply rich caffe' (espresso) or a creamy cappuccino.
So then what happens when you get back home, hopelessly longing for that la dolce vita caffeine fix? You can do what I do. I get my caffe' con crema (that foamy stuff you see on top which is the mark of a perfect espresso) using Sant'Eustachio coffee beans from Gustiamo in my Philips Saeco espresso machine.
The waterways of Venice…
The river Arno flowing under the Ponte Vecchio in Florence…
The deep turquoise sea off the splendor of the Amalfi Coast…
The seas and canals and rivers, like all the roads, lead back to Rome.
Rome loves a party. And this year, Carnevale in Rome — though not approaching the decadence, debauchery, and downright tomfoolery that took place during the pagan forerunners of this Christianized celebration — has been pumped up with various forms of street revelry, most notably a parade of costumed Romans on horses and chariots beginning at Piazza del Popolo and following the ancient route down Via del Corso.
So what will everyone be munching on during these festivities? Not popcorn, not soft salted pretzels, not Buffalo wings, or corn dogs on a stick. The traditional "you can't eat just one" Carnevale treats in Rome are frappe, fried ribbons of dough copiously dusted with powdered sugar, temptingly displayed in every pastry shop window – and, oh, so easy to love.
My dear friend Daniela Del Balzo, owner of Daniela's Cooking School in Rome, just sent out her recipe for these pre-Lenten treats along with her words about these delectable delights:
"In Italy the best-known Carnival pastries are Cenci (rags), or Frappe – Chiacchere (gossips), and Nastrini (ribbons), or with more poetic words "Lover's Knots".
Each regions has its own version and different names according to the place they come from.
If you try one you won't be able to stop eating them!
Be careful they are quite addictive!
One tip…is to melt dark bitter chocolate and dip the Frappe inside!!!!!!!"
500 gr plain flour
50gr softened butter
eggs (2 yolks and 1 full egg)
1 tbsp sugar
50 gr brandy liqueur (Rum or Grappa)
100 gr approx. white wine, as required
pinch of salt
peanut oil for frying
icing sugar for dusting
On a board, make a well in the flour and pour the eggs into it. Add the remaining ingredients (except for the wine) and mix together, adding the wine gradually. Stop adding the wine when the dough is firm but elastic, and doesn't stick to the surface. Knead for about 15-20 minutes.
Wrap in cling film and put in the fridge to rest for at least an hour.
Flour the surface and roll out the dough to a very thin sheet, flouring the surface if required. It is important that the sheet is very, very thin.
Using a pastry wheel cut the dough into strips as long as your palm and two fingers wide. Make a cut down the middle of each "cencio" (so as to obtain two strips joined at the ends), twist the side strips without breaking them.
To make "frappe" shape: cut the dough into strips (approx. 5×10 cm) and then make three vertical incisions on each strip.
Heat the frying oil in a deep pan. When hot (but not too much) fry the dough until lightly golden. It is important that you do not fry them for too long. As soon as you see the colour turning light golden, scoop them out and drain off the oil on kitchen paper. Sprinkle generously with icing sugar. Serve warm or cold.

Mark Webber is considering his future at Red Bull Racing after Sunday's Malaysian debacle but concedes it is still "early days" and "very raw."
Racing towards his first win of the season in Malaysia, Webber was overtaken by Sebastian Vettel with ten laps to go despite Red Bull having told both drivers to stay put.
In the immediate aftermath, a furious Webber accused Red Bull of protecting Vettel "as usual" while the German later apologised, admitting he "f***ed up."
But whether that holds any sway when Webber considers his future remains to be seen.
"I think it's very early days right now. It's very raw, obviously, and we need to work out how the team goes best forwards from here," said the 36-year-old.
"That's obviously going to be discussed this week. I will be in Australia on my surfboard - the phone won't be engaged.
"There were a lot of things in my mind in the last 15 laps of the grand prix, to be honest, so whether the medicine is enough we will see."
He added: "It puts a lot of heat on certain people for sure. Inevitably it does, because unfortunately there is no rewind button."

Buyers beware. Maybe I received a different one than the other reviewers but the one I received was not very nice. I expected average quality for the price. I was not expecting perfection but the one I received had the following issues: - the rings that hold the light to the base was rusted. I tried to polish the rings since they are highly visible but could not get it shinny. - the inside hardware that held the shade and bulbs was scratched up, had a bad paint job and rusted. This is not super annoying since you can't see this part of the lamp, but it just shows the poor quality of this product. - As with other reviewer's comments, the base on my unit also didn't fit flush to the ceiling (it is not due to my ceiling). The issue is with the screws that came with the unit. It was too long so you can't get the cap screws tight enough to push the base plate up so that it mounts flush. I was able to fix this by going to the hardware store to find a shorter screw. - the edges on the shade are definitely not glued on adequately. I should have looked at the pictures on Overstock more closely. If you zoom over certain areas of the lamp shade pictures you can see that there are areas that appear loose and not glued appropriately. My unit has slightly worst edges on the exterior, where some areas are coming loose. On the inside the area closes to where the shade meets the hardware, the shade fabric is mangled and not glued neatly, which leaves awful broken lines on the shade when the light is turned on. I will have to repair this with some fabric glue. - the electrical wires that are barely visible on the Overstock pictures are definitely more visible than in the pictures on the site, especially the grounding wire that is cooper in color when contrasted to the stainless silver rings. This is a design issue not a quality issue. - the unit I received was not level due to the imperfections in the welding on hardware frame that left the unit slightly mangled when it arrived.. I had to work really hard to make the lamp level. I must have installed the unit three times before I realized that it wasn't the installation. Once I laid the unit flat on the floor, I figured out the problem was with the hardware frame. To fix the issue, I had to unscrew the factory assembled frame and insert some shims in between the washers that held the shade and lamp up. - the last issue is with the long rods that suspended the lamp from the base. The unit came with plenty of rods for a very tall installation but the treads on the rods were not done perfectly such that it caused the rod not to be perfectly straight when they are attached to each other. So why didn't I return the item to Overstock? It's because I am too lazy to pack this unit up after all the time I spent fixing all of the flaws. If I had to do it again, I would not buy this unit. I would recommend that others including myself spend a little more money and buy a better unit else where and avoid all the hassles.
My husband installed this in my dining room yesterday and I must say that it is absolutely perfect for my space I have a 8-10 people dining set and was looking for something with volume. This does it. I love love love it!!
For the price, its a great value. the detail quality is lacking. When the light is on, you can see the poorly cut edging. But for this price I'll keep it and when the light is off, everyone compliments it. Just wish they could finish it better. It would then be the perfect light !!
I am thrilled with how this light turned out. I think it is really sharp looking and provides a much needed boost to our dining/kitchen area. I can see what other reviewers are saying about the fabric at the edges being a tad uneven, but honestly it isn't noticeable unless you are really, really looking with a critical eye. For the price/size of this light fixture, I can not complain. I think it's great. Abeautiful, light gray, the picture is quite accurate.
The light was a pain to install but it looks amazing in our dining room. Thrilled!!!
a beautiful addition to my formal dinning room. I have totally redone the house and it added that something special,
I was a bit concerned about the size when the shipment arrived but it fit perfect in the dining area. Our only complain was the installation, the plate that should flush to the ceiling didn't and placing the glass at the bottom was a bit difficult. In the end we got it flushed to the ceiling and were very careful with the glass.

Ghost Tours
Treat yourself to a haunted guided ghost tour at the former estate of Edith Wharton, The Mount. Drawing on her own experience with and her interest in the supernatural, the renowned ghost writer wrote several haunting stories during her long writing career. For over a century, The Mount has since been home to famed writers, actors, affluent families, servants, and a boarding school for girls.
In the early 1940's, The Mount became a residence for the Foxhollow Boarding School for Girls. After remaining vacant for several years, the Shakespeare acting company moved in to use it as a dormitory and performance space. Both of these residents reported unexplained eerie noises and sounds and sightings of figures in period dress throughout the house. In early 2009, the TV show Ghost Hunters filmed an episode at The Mount, and over the course of three days reported audio and visual evidence of paranormal activity, such as the sounds of footsteps in empty rooms, and disembodied voices.
The Mount offers 'ghost tours' on Monday and Friday nights that includes tours of the estate, the stable and the mansion.

Cruise Ship Overview
The third ship in Carnival's Fantasy-class, Carnival Sensation was launched in 1993. Although the ship has received numerous upgrades over the years, including the important addition of balconies to some ocean-view cabins and a secluded adults-only Serenity Deck, there is no word at this writing on whether the ship will be updated to feature Carnival's "Fun Ship 2.0" upgrades. Carnival Sensation has two short cruises a week to the Bahamas from her home base of Port Canaveral, which is conveniently within driving distance of Florida's Orlando airport and theme parks. Some of the three- and four-night itineraries include an overnight call in Nassau.
Bathed in fiber-optic light, glitzy Fantasy-class interiors added expansive six-deck atriums and a new dimension to the original superliner concept. To keep the fun going, these ships offer an almost wearying assortment of places to have a good time. As times and tastes have changed, the ships have evolved as well, with new lobby bars, dedicated club spaces for teens and tweens, miniature golf, and Internet centers. Even newer are Carnival's WaterWorks water park and the Serenity Adult-Only Retreat, which increase the appeal of the older Fantasy-class vessels.
Only one level below the Lido deck, the indoor promenade connects major public rooms on a single deck, with only formal dining rooms, shops, and other small spaces one deck below. Large in size and ideal for a short itinerary, these ships have sprawling outdoor pool and sunning areas, but they can feel cramped when sailing at maximum capacity. Cabins provide calm oases from sensory overload. With the exception of Carnival Sensation, Carnival Fascination, and Carnival Ecstasy, to which balconies were added to existing cabins, you'll have to book a suite if you want the solitude of a private balcony.

quiet & peace.
Summer of 2008 I began second shooting for my good friend Jessie Smith. My very first wedding was just supposed to be a favor, I was just helping her out. I loved photography and had been attracted to it since high school. However, from that very first wedding, the thoughts started rolling. Since June 2008 I began contemplating, discerning, worrying, dreaming and worrying some more. I had been praying that the Lord would show me where my focus should be. I was pulled toward art, I LOVED design and I had just gotten into photography. I have journal entries where I openly told the Lord that I felt lost, no direction.

Turntable Gets Labels On Board, International Launches Coming Over Next Few Months
One of Turntable.fm's earliest proponents was a music blog in Germany that helped send the music sharing game viral. However, the startup soon discovered that the licensing and rights rules abroad were more complicated than the rules at home, and had to pull the service down outside the U.S. The announcement yesterday that Turntable has signed direct licensing agreements with the four major music labels shows the company hasn't forgotten about its international fans. "We're trying to go international," cofounder and CEO Billy Chasen told Betabeat this morning from Austin, where Turntable is revving up for South By Southwest: Music. "It's going to take a little bit of time but we're actively talking to all the people and publishers and rights holders internationally that we need to talk to."
Turntable should become available in countries outside the U.S. sometime in the next few months, Mr. Chasen said. "We'll slowly turn on countries because they all have different specific requirements on what we have to do to actually play music in them." Read More


text: 5 All-round great gamefaxmachineanthem | 12/11/2011 | See all faxmachineanthem's reviews (17)I owned Ace Combat 6 and never got into it. It just seemed way too focused on traditional combat-sim style, and not on making a fun, exciting experience for players. Considering most console gamers are FPS players (including me) it was definitely a good idea from the developer to make this more accessible to the average gamer.The storyline is very good and the game features a lot of real-world locations and contemporary politics. Ace Combat 6 was all based in some fantasy world, and the storyline was pretty lame. This feels far more like it could sit alongside CoD or BF games, story-wise, which is a definite plus for me.As for the gameplay, it's brilliant. You get to fly around in not only amazing fighter jets, but also helis, the AC130 gunship, and tactical bombers. The combat is also a definite improvement on all former combat-sims with the addition of a up-close-and-personal style system where, once you're locked onto an enemy air or ground unit, you go into a focused view mode where you can engage on a much more exciting level. The cinematics of flying through skycrapers as buildings fall down beside you, is absolutely amazing, and overall the combat experience is brilliant.The music and voice acting is all top-notch as well and overall this game provides a lot of enjoyment. I only stuck with the campaign, so I cannot rate the multiplayer experience, but that is also another aspect to the game for hardcore fans of flight combat games. This has put Ace Combat firmly back on the gaming radar and, although taken the series in a new direction, is a definitely positive one which should hopefully attract a lot of new fans.

EAU CLAIRE —Several UW-Eau Claire geography students who participated in Dr. Harry Jol's spring semester field seminar capstone class have received full scholarships to attend graduate school in the fall.
The class traveled in mid-March to New Zealand, where students used their research skills to complete an investigative group project and to complete individual topical research papers. Jol, who previously conducted research in New Zealand during a sabbatical, knows the area well and arranged for the students to collaborate on the research with Dr. David Nobes from the University of Canterbury in Christchurch.

Jol's students acknowledged it is unusual for undergraduates to have the opportunity to travel and conduct research internationally as part of a class project.
"It was an amazing experience," said senior Jackie Ebert. "Our trip was truly unique in that we were afforded the opportunity to use our knowledge overseas in an environment that was strange to us.
"I talk to many other geography students that attend other schools and they don't have one-quarter the experience that I have attained from this department," Ebert said. "I believe that attending UW-Eau Claire afforded me opportunities that I would not have been able to receive elsewhere."
Ebert has received a full scholarship and graduate assistant position with a living stipend at Missouri State University, where she will pursue a master's degree in geospatial sciences beginning this fall. Patrick Dryer, one of the other students who went to New Zealand, received the same scholarship package from Missouri State, but first he will travel to Alaska this summer to serve as a conservation geographic information science intern for the Alaska Conservation Foundation.
Jol said the students spent the first part of the capstone class in seminar, going through several texts and papers to hone their research techniques. Then the students worked individually on research papers about topics they identified from their readings. For example, Ebert's individual paper was titled "How Markets in Venison Meat and Parts and the Game Farming of Red Deer Jeopardizes Conservation on the South Island, New Zealand." Dryer's project was "The Franz Josef Glacier: A History of Advance and Retreat."
While in New Zealand, class participants used ground penetrating radar to image the subsurface of a barrier spit (a coastal barrier that extends into open water and is attached to the mainland at only one end). The project had two parts, the first dealing with data collection and processes and the second dealing with the local coastal processes and data interpretation. After returning from New Zealand, the students prepared posters and presented their research at UW-Eau Claire's annual Student Research Day in April.
The students also produced a Web site detailing their New Zealand experience and a video documenting the field seminar.
Jol said he believes in making capstone experiences as "hands on" as possible so the students leave UW-Eau Claire with real skills in addition to theoretical knowledge.
Class participant Elizabeth Ellison agreed that getting into the field and seeing what is being studied is a much different experience than learning about processes and landscapes in the classroom.
"New Zealand has much to offer for a physical geographer, and the capstone experience was worth every penny," said Ellison, who also has received a full scholarship to graduate school at Miami University in Ohio. Her capstone project was titled "The Changing Waikato River: Evidence from the Taupo Eruption and Its Aftermath."
Jol said he believes national and international capstone field seminars provide experiential learning opportunities that students remember for the rest of their lives.
"I have students from past field seminars regularly contacting me and noting how the class was one of their most significant educational experiences at UW-Eau Claire," Jol said.

"High Status" Body Language to Attract Women
If you communicate that you're a "low status guy" - and most guys do - you will blow it BIG TIME. Here's how to avoid this mistake…
By David DeAngelo
Did you know there are just a couple ways that men and women "get together"?
And there are just a couple ways that things eventually "end up" for them?
When it comes to getting together, most of the time, most guys have no idea how to create ATTRACTION in a woman.
I mean, what do most men do?
They try to "pursue" a beautiful woman and "win her over" by offering her gifts. Dinners. Flowers.
And what happens? A woman finds a man like that "nice", but there are no "sparks". So she likes him "just as a friend".
But sometimes a man DOES understand what it takes to trigger ATTRACTION.
He begins to communicate with a woman ways that makes her feel a powerful physical and emotional response that she can't control. Sparks fly, and the man and woman "get together".
Once that happens, things again go one of two ways…
Sometimes a man understands he can't let himself become a Wussy who follows a woman around, constantly "shares how he feels" and becomes boring.
He stays in control and keeps challenging the woman, and keeps the woman interested far into the future.
But MOST of the time…
The man begins to act more and more predictable. He starts to share "how he feels" too often. He becomes more and more submissive.
And soon the woman loses all those feelings that used to create ATTRACTION. And soon SHE'S GONE.
Because most men have no clue about one simple fact…
And I mean VERY DIFFERENT.
Generally speaking, the way for a man to create attraction is to understand that for women, ATTRACTION is a PROCESS, not a sudden "event".
It happens over time, and it becomes stronger or weaker depending upon how well the man understands how it works.
If you want to know how she feels about you, say "You LOVE me" in a condescending tone of voice, and see how she responds. If she says "NO I DON'T!" in an exaggerated, mocking way, then she probably DOES "love" you.
That in mind, here are a few specific tips about how to create attraction in women:
When a guy finds a girl interesting, he usually turns into a ball of nervous, weak mush. Then he makes the mistake of letting the woman KNOW IT.
Don't do that.
Be STRONG. Tease her. Challenge her. Be adventurous.
If she thinks she's cool, make fun of her.
If she's smart, argue with her a little.
If she's doing something, tell her that you could do it better.
All of this is your signal to her that you're STRONG, and the GAME IS ON.
One of my favorite concepts is "Never let the line go slack".
This means that once you SPARK "chemistry" or "sexual tension", you need to KEEP IT UP.
Just because she starts doing things that hint she's interested, doesn't mean that it's time for you to STOP.
Quite the opposite, actually.
Turn UP the volume. It's working, so do more!
The word "tease" has a couple of meanings.
One of the meanings is doing things that are slightly annoying to get a response from someone.
The other meaning is subtly different, and has to do with drawing out a response you want by doing certain things that indirectly trigger it.
You need to do both.
If you're about to kiss her, wait until your lips are so close that you can almost feel her… and then STOP. Pull away and smile.
If you want to know how she feels about you, say "You LOVE me" in a condescending tone of voice, and see how she responds. If she says "NO I DON'T!" in an exaggerated, mocking way, then she probably DOES "love" you.
Teasing is a fantastic way to create attraction.
You need to do more of it.
Being predictable and/or boring is a cardinal sin when it comes to what it takes to trigger ATTRACTION.
You need to make sure you don't do either.
Of course, telling a man not to be predictable is like telling a dog not to hump your leg.
Most guys are PAINFULLY predictable -- and there's nothing that will kill the sparks faster (and interferes with what you should be doing to CREATE attraction) than her knowing what you're about to do or say before you do or say it.
Women like men who make decisions and take the lead.
Now, I'm not saying that women like men who are overly controlling. What I am saying is that women don't like guys who are always saying things like, "I don't know, what do YOU want to do, baby?".
Women don't want men they can control, so don't be one.
As you read these examples, can you see the big picture forming? Can you see the deeper message?
The deeper message is that you need to learn how to SPARK ATTRACTION in women in the first place before you can do all those things that keep ATTRACTION BUILDING AND BUILDING.
So where does this all begin?
It begins with YOU.
When you're ready to get an in-depth education about the basics of how to create attraction in women and keep it going, you're ready to read my eBook "Double Your Dating."
You can download it now and be reading it within a few minutes, so check it out here:
