For many high school students, graduation cannot come soon enough. While admittedly, I was something of a nerd, going off to college was the single most anticipated event of my young life. I couldn't wait for the academic challenges, the new people, and the more serious learning environment. If someone came up to me when I was 16 and offered me the chance to start community college then, I would have definitely taken it. So I am definitely a little jealous of students in New Hampshire who may soon get that chance.
New Hampshire is one of three states that have agreed to implement some of the policies outlined by the National Center on Education and the Economy's New Commission on the Skills of the American Workforce. The commission released a report in 2006 calling for sweeping educational reforms to address America's slipping international standing in several measures of educational success and workforce preparation. Utah and Massachusetts will also implement measures recommended to boost the performance of public schools, including raising teacher pay, giving teachers greater (in some cases, complete) control over schools, implementing more dynamic proficiency tests that provide a more accurate picture of students' abilities, and better monitoring and assisting students at risk of dropping out. The policy New Hampshire is proposing will allow students the option of taking a test after 10th grade and either entering a community college or a college preparatory track if they pass, letting them prepare for college and gain college credits while still living at home, and keeping them from getting bored or coasting through the last two years of high school.
These are only a few of the suggestions found in the commission's report. While there is some skepticism over how much change will actually take place, many states and schools are showing an eagerness for change. It's hoped that innovations in education will help make more students better prepared for attending college and entering the workforce.

Enrollment in online courses continued to increase in 2007, according to a new study. Nearly 4 million college students, over 20 percent of the total number of students attending college, took at least one online course in fall 2007, an increase of 12.9 percent over the previous year. With all of the financial turmoil that 2008 has brought, the number of online students is likely to continue to increase, as online enrollment is seen as a cost-effective alternative to having to be on campus for class.
The majority of colleges and universities regard offering online courses or online degree programs as critical to their long-term goals. Schools also reported a need to compete for online students. Since physical proximity isn't a concern, students can take online classes through any school, meaning institutions need to do more to attract students to their distance-learning programs.
Some of this competition comes in the form of innovation. After universities in Canada and Japan made online course material accessible via cell phones last year, Louisana's community colleges followed suit, unveiling a plan this week to centralize their distance learning programs on one website, allowing students to access and complete materials from any device with an internet connection.
As distance learning programs continue to become more popular among students and a greater priority among schools, budget-conscious students may want to look closely at taking some or all classes online. Online courses allow greater flexibility for scheduling around employment or other obligations, save on commuting costs (and the money students spend gulping down cafeteria food, fast food, and expensive coffee while rushing between classes), and allow students to live where they want without worrying about having to get to school each day. All of these things make it easier for you to pay your way through school as a distance learning student. While online classes do require greater self-discipline and are offered in more limited quantities than in-person classes, they are still an option to consider when choosing a college.

Colleges are continuing to face financial hardships due to the current global economic crisis. Endowments have shrunken by an average of 30 percent this year, primarily in the last two months. Numerous colleges and universities, both public and private, are cutting or freezing spending, and several institutions have been forced to implement hiring freezes, offer early retirement to employees, or lay off employees. Even Harvard University has announced a more conservative approach to future spending. An article appearing in the New York Times earlier this week shows some schools considering a move away from entirely need-blind admissions policies (which ignore students' ability to pay when determining who to admit) in order to ensure they receive enough tuition revenue to maintain their financial aid programs.
Meanwhile, families are in similarly rough shape. Investments are in trouble, unemployment is up, and families are having trouble getting home equity loans or other lines of credit that they may have previously used to cover tuition. 529 plans have taken a hit, as well, and student loans have also tightened credit requirements. All this means that students might face greater difficulty getting into and paying for school.
So that's the bad news. Now for some good news:

College students who receive generous scholarship opportunities are relieved of some of the financial burden of paying for school. But to what extent does this benefit translate into other positive outcomes? How, specifically, does winning scholarships help students achieve their college goals? Four studies being presented this week at the Association for the Study of Higher Education's annual conference seek to answer these questions.
Two studies focused on recipients of the Gates Millennium Scholarship, an extremely generous scholarship for minorities offered by Bill and Melinda Gates. A third tracked recipients of the Kalamazoo Promise, the first in a series of large-scale full-tuition local scholarship programs, which provides scholarship funding to all qualifying Kalamazoo, Michigan residents who choose to attend one of Michigan's state colleges. The fourth looks at University of Iowa applicants' responses to financial aid offers.
The study of University of Iowa students reinforces the idea that scholarship money steers students' college plans, especially among certain minority groups. African American and Hispanic students were less likely to attend the university, presumably choosing a more affordable or more generous institution, if they did not receive the amount of financial assistance they had hoped for. These results reinforce the importance of college affordability and will hopefully encourage universities to offer more generous awards to student populations they wish to attract.
While institutional financial aid influences students' college choices, so do other scholarships. Studies showed that Gates Millennium Scholars and Kalamazoo Promise recipients appear more inclined than their peers of similar backgrounds towards applying to and ultimately choosing colleges that are pricier or more competitive.
Gates Millennium Scholars are also more likely to graduate--matching graduation rates of higher-income students--as well as to graduate on time. In fact, 90 percent of these students finished a four-year degree in four years, which is proving to be an increasingly rare accomplishment among students currently attending college.
In some ways, these studies reinforce things many students already knew. Scholarships influence students' college choices. Scholarship winners go to better schools, are more likely to graduate, and are more likely to graduate sooner--and the studies suggest this because they won a scholarship, not just because they're smart and motivated. Even if none of this is news to you, it should still be a powerful motivator for you to start your own scholarship search. It does appear to be the formula for college success.
November 6, 2008
U.S. News had an interesting piece in their education section last week about the monetary benefits of a college degree. Citing government statistics and several recent studies, the author related that students who complete a bachelor's degree can expect to earn $300,000 more in today's dollars over the course of their working lives than students who just complete high school. Students who earn a professional degree, go to law school, or complete business school can expect to earn even more.
A full-time worker with a bachelor's degree makes about $20,000 more a year than a student with a high school diploma, and a student with, say, an MBA can expect to make about $100,000 more than a high school grad each year. While such annual income disparities add up to more than $300,000 over a lifetime of work, studies citing that figure also adjusted for inflation, the extra money high school grads earn in those first four or five years, and the average cost of attending college for four years.
Another benefit of a college degree is a better chance of landing and keeping a job: the unemployment rate for college grads is half what it is for those who don't go to college. Students from low-income backgrounds also reap more benefits from receiving a degree, as they're able to land not only higher-paying, but also more stable jobs and better-benefited jobs, and to have opportunities that would not have been available to them otherwise. Going to college can also provide significant academic advantages for your future children.
So if college costs are daunting and you're considering whether your education is going to be worth the price you pay for school, do some research. You're statistically more likely to live a better life in a lot of ways if you go ahead and earn that degree. There are tons of reasons to go to college, and also tons of ways to help with funding your education. Do a thorough college search to find the best and most affordable fit for your educational goals, and then search for available scholarships and other financial aid to help you pay the bill.
November 5, 2008
The election is over, and while we're still waiting for some results to come in, such as the ultimate fate of Colorado's anti-affirmative action ballot measure, most races have been decided and commented on. Overall, higher education fared well yesterday, and Inside Higher Ed provides a breakdown of wins and losses for college-related measures, as welll as an in-depth discussion of the brand new affirmative action ban in Nebraska.
The biggest focus this morning has been on Barack Obama's presidential win. News sources across the country are already speculating on what he will and will not be able to accomplish once he takes office in January. While Obama had stated in his second debate with Senator McCain that he planned to make education a priority for his administration, concerns are being expressed over financial barriers to his proposals. As President, Obama would like to shore up the Federal Pell Grant program, eliminate the Federal Family Education Loan Program (FFELP) in favor of Direct Loans, and implement a $4,000 tax credit for families with students in college, among other goals. However, the economic crisis may make these goals difficult.
A more Democratic Congress also has ambitious plans that could affect higher education, including potentially revisiting a bill that would allow private student loans to be discharged in bankruptcy. Democrats also are hoping to provide more money for job training programs to community colleges, as well as more support for and fewer restrictions on research conducted by universities. Congress also expects to revisit and revise No Child Left Behind, the Bush administration's ambitious, though largely unpopular, education bill.
Education policy makers will also change in January, with some seats in the House and Senate educational committees being vacated and a new Education Secretary coming in with the new president. How the results of the election will change the face of attending college and funding your education remains to be seen.
November 4, 2008
It's November 4th, and that means election day for everyone in the U.S. If you haven't already cast an early or an absentee ballot, here's yet another reminder to show up at the polls today. Education has become a major concern due to economic instability, decreasing availability of student loans, and the rising costs of attending college. Today you can make your opinion on education known, and not only in the Presidential and Congressional races.
Voters in eleven states will pick a new governor, and according to The Chronicle of Higher Education, new governors in five states will play an important role in setting educational policies in coming years. Voters in Indiana, Missouri, North Carolina, Vermont, and Washington can check out coverage of what's at stake in terms of education here.
State referenda in thirteen states also have the potential to affect educational policy on issues ranging from school funding to affirmative action. The Chronicle of Higher Education provides info on these referenda here, and Diverse Issues in Higher Education also addresses them here.
If you're just starting down the road to a college education, the people elected today and the measures passed today will have a direct influence on the shape of your academic journey. Your ability to fund your education, your experience at college, your ability to meet your college goals, and even your chances of getting into the college of your choice could change based on what happens today. So if you can, read up on the issues and get out there and vote.

How To Use
To change your motor oil:
- Jack your car up or use drive-on ramps.
- Pop the hood. Remove the oil fill cap and dipstick, then use the oil filter wrench to loosen the oil filter housing 4-5 complete turns to allow the air to get in so the oil can drain out. Temporarily put the oil pan under the filter to capture any spillage. Place the oil drain pan directly under the drain plug on the engine.
- Drain the oil. Using a socket wrench or a combination wrench of the right size, loosen the oil drain plug on the engine and remove it completely. Let the oil drain completely from the engine.
- Save the used oil. Collect it in a clean container and take it to a recycling center. To find a recycling drop off point, check with your local auto parts retailer or your municipal recycling center.
- Tighten the drain plug. Replace the drain plug on the engine oil pan then tighten it.
- Remove the oil filter. Place the drain pan directly under the oil filter. The filter should be removable by hand. If not, use your filter wrench and rotate the filter counter-clockwise to remove it.
- Rub the gasket. Before attaching the new filter, rub motor oil on the rubber gasket on the base. If you don't do this, it will be hard to get the filter off the engine the next time. Make sure the gasket from the old filter came off and is not still stuck on the housing.
- Screw on the new filter. Screw the new filter onto the filter pipe all the way down to the base (using hands only) until it is tight. Use the filter wrench and turn the filter one- quarter turn more to seal it.
- Fill with motor oil. Find the engine oil fill on the valve cover and fill with the amount and kind of new engine oil specified in your owner's manual, usually 4-5 quarts. Cap the oil fill hole.
- Lower the car, then start it. Start the engine but do not rev it – just let it idle. Let the car run for about five minutes to warm up the engine and allow the oil to circulate. Check under the vehicle and make sure the filter is not leaking oil onto the pavement. Shut the engine off. Check the dipstick on the engine to make certain it reads "FULL."

I have a 1967 Ford Galaxie 500 with a 289 cubic inch engine. The engine was rebuilt about 20,000 miles ago. I decided to switch it over to SynPower, and I don't think it ran this smooth from the factory! I can tell a big difference in everything...from smoother running, to cooler running, and as well as gas mileage. Thanks for making SynPower...it's one great product!

To whom it may concern, Ever since I purchased my car (my first car, which I still drive everyday, an '89 Chevrolet Camaro) I have been using Valvoline engine oil. When I purchased oil for my first oil change, I had NO idea what I was even looking for. A kind gentleman at the local parts store recomended me a Valvoline 10W-30. I liked the way it seemed to "take care of my car." After a year and a half of teenage abuse, and heavy driving on the 145,000 mile engine in my Camaro, a nice blue smoke started coming out of the exhaust. I then switched to the Valvoline's MaxLife to treat my problem. Within only a few weeks, the burning oil seemed to fade all but completely. That kept my car going for another 6 months until I decided to utilize my recently aquired knowledge of cars and engines to build a powerhouse 400 horsepower V-8 for my car. Before I even finished building the engine, I purchased a case of Valvoline's SynPower for breaking in the engine and have been using it ever since (almost a year). A few weeks ago I removed the valve covers for a quick valve adjustment and noticed that the workings of my engine were still AS CLEAN as the day that I assembled the motor. I have to tell you,... You guys make one heck of a product. A product that I plan to use for life. I STRONGLY recommend ANY Valvoline product to anyone who asks. Recently I started showing my car during "after race" car shows at the local drag-strip. Under my hood, on the radiator and front clip cowl, I display all the stickers of companies, products, and parts that I use for my car. Is there any way that you could send me a Valvoline decal or sticker to complement the array of companies that I support and use. I would GLADLY advertise Valvoline products with my other parts and products. Thank you...with much appreciation. Sincerely, Benjamin P.

Dear Valvoline folks, The "Check Engine" light on my 2002 Hyundai Accent recently lit up. I took the car to the dealer and the problem was diagnosed as a bad component in the ignition system. As a result, one cylinder was firing intermittently and as a result a valve got burned and had to be replaced. While dropping my car off for servicing, I mentioned to the service tech that I baby the car and use nothing but Valvoline's synthetic oil in it. When the repair was completed and I picked up the car, the service tech commented on how clean the inside of the engine was when he pulled the head. He even called the other techs over to marvel at the state of things in my engine. Up until now, I was "just hoping" that the synthetic oil was doing me some good..... but now, I am convinced. Keep up the good work!! I also use nothing but Valvoline's SynPower in my '99 GMC truck.
-Brian Morgan, ALASKA
I can testify on my own experience that Valvoline's Full Synthetic Oil's performance is giving me 100% protection in my engines since 1983. My 1983 Ford four-cylinder turbo coupe was the first to be protected back when Valvoline was not easily purchased. Before that I could not find synthetic oil. Since then, I have used it in my 1985 Nissan truck, my 1995 Nissan Pathfinder, my 1998 Pathfinder, and now in my 2002 Pathfinder 3.5 SE and our other 2002 Audi 1.8T, A4. I will never use anything else. Oil changes every 10,000 miles in my Audi and every 8,000 miles in my 2002 Pathfinder is safe and I have no problems. Of course, I change the oil myself except in the Audi which is maintenance free, but I bring my Valvoline Full Synthetic 20-30 wt. to the dealer and they put in in for me. Keep up the great work Valvoline...a satisfied customer for 21 years.

My first experience with SynPower came after I had taken a brake class at the local community college. I wanted to learn how to work on my brakes properly so I enrolled and first learned what "DOT 3" and "DOT 4" meant. I wanted the best (and safest) for me and my truck so I went to the local auto parts store to get some DOT 4 brake fluid since it had a superior boiling point: approximately 450 degrees compared to the 400 degrees at which DOT 3 boils at. I came across Valvoline's SynPower Synthetic Brake Fluid and found it had a boiling point of 502 degrees! I tried it and loved it! I have to bleed my brakes often (which is why I took that class) because I do a LOT of downhill driving. Ever since I switched to Valvoline's SynPower Synthetic Brake Fluid, I've only had to bleed my brakes ONCE. I visited the website and found out that these guys have been doing this kind if thing for over 135 years. I figured, "If they can make brake fluid this good, I wonder how their motor oil is?" I first tried Valvoline SynPower about 24,000 miles ago and have been using it since. My current car is 1999 Dodge Durango 4X4 with the 5.9 liter engine. Every week, I would fill up with gas, reset my trip computer and drive 30 minutes home. And each time I would average 15.1 miles per gallon, like clockwork. One paycheck I had a little extra left over and decided to try SynPower 10W-30 motor oil. I noticed that my oil pressure was lower but when I made the trip home from Costco, I averaged 15.8 miles per gallon! I documented my trips for the next two months and I found that my mileage really did improve! I did the math and found that the SynPower pays for itself: I'll save more on gasoline than the $23 that the 5 bottles of SynPower cost!" I've grown very attached to my truck and want to keep it forever. Valvoline SynPower will help me do that. And the best part is that it won't cost me anything extra! I have since switched to Valvoline SynPower Power Steering Fluid and Fuel System & Engine Treatment. I have to change the differential fluid in about 700 more miles and I can't wait to put in the Valvoline SynPower 75W-90 gear oil or apply the SynPower NLGI #2 GC-LB grease! Any chance you guys at Valvoline will come up with some SynPower ATF+3 transmission fluid in about 10,000 miles (7 months)?

Fiji coach Inoke Male has labelled England 'vultures' for their stockpiling of foreign players.
Male told The Times of London that several players have made themselves unavailable for Fiji (who play England on 10 November) in a bid to become eligible to play for England or France under the IRB's three-year residency rule.
Racing Métro outside back Virimi Vakatawa wants to play for France while England coach Stuart Lancaster has included Mako Vunipola, the Saracens prop who is the son of Fe'ao Vunipola, the Tonga international, alongside Manu Tuliagi, whose elder brothers played for Samoa, in his squad for the November internationals.
'There are several players not available to us for this tour because they want to play for other countries,' Male told The Times. 'Young players now want to pursue options for other countries rather than coming on tour which is not a good sign. We have got a lot of problems caused by European countries, especially France and England, who have taken some of our players through their academies when they were young. England and France have got a lot of players to pick from already and, as a small country, for our players to be poached from us is not acceptable.
'There is one very talented player we wanted to select who went to an English academy and he is now 16 years old and has opted to play for England. It is very obvious what is happening. If you go to the secondary school championships you will see scouts from Australia, New Zealand and England trying to find your players who want to go overseas. They are taking our young players like vultures.'

Customer Raves & Reviews
Nice but took a while to recieve
Really liked the finished product. Think the concept & website is great too. I was dissatisfied with how long it took to recieve them in order to mail out to family & friends. If production time took half of what it did (it took a full 7 days) & week+ time for shipping I would have been able to get them out before Christmas. If you want to make them out for Christmas give yourself 3+ weeks time.
Vivid Colors, Cute Design
This design turned out great in person! Vivid colors on our photos, plus the design itself is simple/clean, yet modern, which is exactly what we wanted. I liked how you could change all of the colors and fonts. Not all sites allow that, esp. for free. Thanks again!

Green Dot
Our Green Dot Mission:
We want to create a campus culture where students, faculty and staff are aware of the many types of violence that exists - and where we all take action to stop them before they happen. A place where the "green dots" outnumber and overwhelm the "red dots." By engaging socially influential individuals from across the campus community in training, awareness, and education we will have a mobilized force of engaged and proactive bystanders which will result in lower rates of violence.
The attitudes and values that lead people to abusive and disrespectful behavior, such as the reflected in sexual assault, are unacceptable. We challenge every member of the Gonzaga community to actively work to counteract acts of power-based personal violence.
What is Green Dot About?
Green Dot is a power-based personal violence prevention strategy on Gonzaga's campus and at universities around the world Informed by social change theory, it capitalizes on the power of peer and cultural influence. Green Dot seeks to reach all community members as potential bystanders through awareness, education, and skills-practice. We challenge every member of the GU community to work to counteract violence and make the prevention of further violence a personal priority. We want to mobilize a force of engaged and proactive bystanders who can and will make a difference.
What is a red dot?
A red dot is any act of power-based personal violence - partner violence, sexual violence, stalking, bullying, or child abuse - or a choice to tolerate, justify or perpetuate this violence. In other words, a red dot is a rape. It's hitting someone. It's threatening another person, whether with words, actions, or body language. It's choosing to do nothing in the face of a potentially high-risk situation. It's a single moment in time where someone's individual choice adds a red dot to our community.
What is a greed dot?
A greed dot is just the opposite: Any behavior, choice, word, or attitude that promotes safety and communicates intolerance for any form of violence.

Bloomberg News is reporting that for the first year since the commodity futures were created, Brent crude is poised to overtake West Texas Intermediate oil as the world's most-traded commodity. Daily trading in Brent jumped 14 percent to average 567,000 contracts in the year to Nov. 20 compared with all of 2011, while WTI fell 17 percent to 575,000, according to data from the ICE Futures Europe exchange in London and New York Mercantile Exchange compiled by Bloomberg. The number of Brent futures changing hands has exceeded those for WTI every month from April through October, the longest streak since at least 1995. And yet, U.S. media focuses primarily on WTI crude. Brent, produced in the North Sea, is gaining...

Joyce Drake sang this song at my uncles funeral. I fell in love with it. Now I have a copy for myself. Thanks for this website. This is wonderful! The sheet music is good quality and easy to read. The song by Squire Parsons is one of my favorites.

The Bell Gage has a radical look. The Gage is equipped with 26 large channeled vents. This channeled venting enables maximum airflow by bringing cool air through the front and channels it back and over the head. This airflow design flushes heat out and keeps you cool. Twin Axis Gear (TAG) fit system is similar to the existing fit system with one key exception; TAG fits and adjusts to the head on two axes. The Gage fits as standard fit systems do (around your head), as well as horizontally (up and down). Implementing this horizontal axis makes the Gage a more versatile helmet in a way that it can fit many different head shapes. Padding is essential in any helmet; Bells' X-Static Padding has some surprising technology built in. X Static offers quick drying materials that help to prevent the growth of odor causing bacteria. The quick drying materials are also woven with real silver fibers. The Bell Gage is a race ready helmet with flashy looks and advanced technology. Bell has been able to accomplish many tasks with this design; The TAG Fit system has been brought together with cam lock levers. These two systems efficiently secure the Gage to you head. X-Static is quick drying and odor preventing.

Streaking Shorewood baseball shuts out Glacier Peak
Boone tosses complete-game three-hitter, Wilkes homers as Shorewood wins 3A South showdown
The Thunderbirds (6-0 in 3A South, 9-0 overall) shut out Glacier Peak 7-0 on Tuesday, the fifth consecutive time they have held their opponents scoreless. In that stretch, Shorewood has outscored the opposition 47-0. Equally as impressive, the Thunderbirds have outscored opponents 82-5 in their nine victories.
"I think one of the reasons (for the streak of shutouts) is, the kids really have pride in their defense," Shorewood head coach Wyatt Tonkin said. "They kind of lift each other up. I emphasize, if we make the routine plays, the great ones will come along and we will be in good shape to make them. They put a lot of work in their defense."
Having dominant pitching doesn't hurt either. Riley O'Brien threw back-to-back no-hitters for the Thunderbirds this past week. Tuesday was Sam Boone's turn. The 6-foot-8, 215-pounder pitched a complete game three-hitter.
"He did everything we wanted him to do," Tonkin said. "He threw strikes, kept the ball down and let our defense play. It was outstanding. He had three good pitches that he could throw for strikes and worked the plate pretty well."
Boone worked his way through the Grizzlies' lineup without much struggle. Perhaps the biggest threat Glacier Peak (4-2, 6-3) posed was in the bottom of the seventh inning when it loaded the bases with two outs. But Boone struck out Dylan Peterson looking to end the game.
"They are undefeated for a reason," Glacier Peak head coach Bob Blair said. "They are a good team and that kid is a great pitcher. He's probably the best pitcher in the league."
The Thunderbirds got most of their runs with big hits, but opened the scoring in the first inning with more of a rare play when leadoff batter Cameron Sterne stole home.
"We've been working on that a lot," Tonkin said. "We have kind of been putting a clock on a few of the pitchers and then timing a running start to home plate and if we can beat them were going to do it. If we can get you thinking about it, it's a little less that you are going to be thinking about a pitch and location. It's another thing we can put in a pitcher's mind and it brings an infield in and opens up holes."
Sterne gave the Thunderbirds a 1-0 lead after the first inning. The Thunderbirds' big bats came out in the second and third inning.
With a runner on first and one out in the top of the second inning, first baseman Josh Wilkes homered off of Glacier Peak starter Mitchl Pohrman to give Shorewood a 3-0 lead.
"That kind of got us going," Tonkin said. "That was a pretty good stroke. We've been working on his stroke and just getting him to loosen up and let it flow. Boy, he did on that one."
Catcher Jake Bockelie added a two-run double in the top of the third inning and shortstop Kory Longaker hit an RBI double in the top of the fourth inning. The three extra-base hits accounted for five of the Thunderbirds seven runs, but Shorewood also sprinkled in a dash of small ball to go with its lineup of dangerous hitters.
"We like to put the game in motion," Tonkin said. "The more we can keep it in motion. The more you find little holes to hit through. We've got decent team speed. Not great, but decent team speed and every game out we are getting smarter at running the bases."

simply magnificent these butterflies!!

I don't think I've ever seen a buckeye but I really love the markings on them. Great photos, Carol! Stay warm, my friend.
- January 30, 2012 at 3:08 PM
- Randy Emmitt said...
Enjoyed the posting... These guys can be difficult to get close to. What I enjoy about them most is you can find a dozen of them and nearly everyone has something different about it from the others.

- sweetbay said...
Gorgeous shots of the Buckeyes on that lovely Hydrangea! I think the Buckeye may be our most beautiful butterfly. I didn't realize that they were a migratory species. I have seen big groups of them -- clouds -- feeding on grassy weeds in the pastures.
- January 30, 2012 at 6:36 PM
- Andrea said...
Delightful photos, but I haven't seen buckeyes yet, maybe they are only in the temperate climes. Randy's comment made me realize that they are really exciting, just like sunsets which are like finger prints, each is its own. Your sun goes north, while ours goes south this time of year. My landmark is the church in my horizon. You said the black swallowtails are wintering in their chrysalis! Can the chrysalis stand that cold? Now i am thinking, what part of butterflies' life cycle are they in during winter? It is easier for them here in the tropics. I wonder why they stayed in the cold.

- Anja said...
Kära Carol!
What a gorgeous pictures! You are a true virtuoso with your camera!
This summer I will try to take photos of butterflies too - witch is very difficult - as you know...:)!
It is very cold i Gothenburg right now and I don't like it.
Kram, Anja

Beautiful butterflies, one of the picture also captures a bee in flight. The sky and snow scenes also tremendous.
- January 31, 2012 at 4:31 PM
- Carol said...
Thank you Edith! I hope the buckeye gives you a bit of joy today. May the snow and sadness melt away very soon.
- February 1, 2012 at 9:18 AM
- Jane and Lance Hattatt said...
Hello Carol:
the Buckeye and the bee, what a simply superb photograph of the two on the wing together!! The eyes on the Buckeye wings are most penetrating, they really do stare back at you. And, how interesting that they too have the wonderful migration flights to warmer climes as the Monarchs do. It must be an incredible sight.
It is so uplifting to see the days lengthening and thoughts of spring grow ever nearer. As you say, by revisiting your spring and summer photographs one can almsot believe that it is all just around the corner. Until, of course, one takes a look outside into that glorious snowy landscape!
- February 1, 2012 at 12:52 PM
- Carol said...
Thank you bicocacolors!
- February 1, 2012 at 2:26 PM
- Carol said...
Hi Kate! Thank you for visiting. This was my first time seeing one and it was a thrill for me. Today got up into the 50's!
- February 1, 2012 at 4:28 PM
- Carol said...
Oh Randy, I would be overjoyed to see so many but the one and only one I have seen here was delightful. I am not surprised that they might be slightly different from one another as I see some variations in monarchs. This one let me get very close . . . it was so involved with the flowers.
- February 1, 2012 at 4:31 PM
- Carol said...
Gasp!! Clouds! I would love to see that. Most likely they were migrating. I remember your beautiful photos of these gorgeous butterflies Sweetbay. I have been longing to see one. They are more rare up this way I think. Thank you for the compliment!
- February 1, 2012 at 4:34 PM
- Carol said...
Thank you dear Andrea! I love the way you imagine sunsets like finger prints. So true each is totally unique! I so recall your church from your stunning sunset images. Yes, the swallowtail chrysalises are hopefully safe underneath some detritus . . . that is if the birds did not find them before the snow cover. I do not know how they can bear the cold. It is getting harder for me every year. Though this has been a very mild winter so far. You have many more butterflies there. I can go to a butterfly house nearby and see some that may come from your homeland.
- February 1, 2012 at 4:42 PM
- Curbstone Valley Farm said...
As someone who is constantly struggling to capture good butterfly photos, not made any easier by our treacherous terrain here, I'm very impressed with your Buckeye shots! I love the last one with the honey bee exiting the shot.
- February 1, 2012 at 5:28 PM
- Carol said...
Thank you dear Anja! I wish I knew my camera better! I look forward to seeing your butterflies this summer. I am sorry to hear that you all are having a hard cold spell. I hope it leaves you soon. Kram Carol
- February 2, 2012 at 9:40 AM
- Carol said...
Thank you so much Gillian! It was a bonus to get the honeybee.
- February 2, 2012 at 11:56 AM
- Carol said...
Dear Jane and Lance, Thank you so for your thoughtful sharing and support. The bees and butterflies do get on pretty well . . . it can get pretty crowded at times. I love the buckeye stare . . . intensely beautiful and I hope someday to be able to see their migration. Yes, longer days and here quite mild for this time of year. It will not be long now . . .
- February 2, 2012 at 7:36 PM
- Carol said...
Thank you dear Clare! I was lucky . . . I believe this was a very freshly emerged butterfly and it was thirsty. I was able to get very close. Cautiously I might add. I was happy to see the bee still within the frame of that last shot too.
- February 2, 2012 at 7:38 PM
- Donna@Gardens Eye View said...
Carol I adore the butterfly...I have not seen them in my garden but who knows maybe this year!!

Dear, Carol.
The butterfly's pattern is attracted to me.
The green impression is very warm atmosphere.
The coldest winter will be melted by your warm heart.
The works gently accept all visitors.
I praise your creative art sense.
The prayer for all peace.
Have a good weekend.

Celebrate fall and food at the Old Stone House Museum's annual Cheese and Apple Tasting on Sunday, September 28, from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. The event will be held in and around the Samuel Read Hall House, which is the big gold house on the corner of Old Stone House Road and the Hinman Settler Road in Brownington. Visitors will be able to taste and purchase locally produced cheeses and other dairy products, apples, maple products, honey, smoked meat, baked goods, spirits, wine and beers, and more.
There will be over 30 varieties of heirloom apples, sliced up on plates, to sample. The museum apple press will be grinding and pressing apples all day, and serving up cups of the sweet essence of the apple harvest. There will be a "Good Ole Apple Pie" contest at 2 p.m. Besides bragging rights, the winner will take home a hand forged pie spatula made by Courtney Mead at the Moffat Forge, the Old Stone House Museum's teaching blacksmith shop. And there will be an apple chomp contest where kids are challenged to take a bite of an apple dangling from a string in mid-air, which is quite an amusing spectator sport.
The event also includes an heirloom vegetable exhibit. People are invited to bring in old varieties of vegetables they have grown from heirloom seeds, along with the name and story behind the variety. The museum will be selling raffle tickets for a cord of dry maple firewood, for $5 a ticket, with only 100 tickets sold per drawing, and a winner will be drawn during the afternoon. The Brownington Ladies Aid will serve a lunch of hot soup and bread, as well as hot coffee and rhubarb punch in the parlor of the Hall House.
Admission to the Cheese and Apple Tasting is $8, but free for those over 90, under 12, or for people who bring an apple pie for the contest or an heirloom vegetable, with the story behind it, for the exhibit. Admission includes a free self-guided tour of the first floor of the Old Stone House Museum, with the new special photography exhibit "Newport Now and Then."
For more information, call the museum at 754-2022, or visit oldstonehousemuseum.org. — from the Old Stone House Museum.

You can get samples at www.parfumsraffy.com
Well hello BN!
For those that don't know(which might be a lot of you guys) me I do reviews on youtube for fragrances that I either own, once owned or have a sample of. If you would like to see my page then go here: www.youtube.com/cutlasssupremesl
I have been a regualr "reader" of this site for quite some time but just never felt the need to write in the forums due to a few ppl that I guess dislike me from the threads I have read. But after spending more time reading these forums I notice that there are only a few bad ones in the huge bunch of users so I said whatever.
And ignore the fact that in a few of my videos I say things about basenoters..... that was mainly aimed at the "bad bunch" I just spoke of and a few of the older guys that like the power houses that I hate like Obession . For the most part you all seem very humorous and intelligent. Also FYI if you didnt know I really dont like the CREED house <----- Dont judge me! You dont know my life
Just one question..... Where can I get real samples of the Amouage Mens line?
Also! I do a Monthly Swap Thread/Sales on my channel so check that out if you are looking for more exposure in swapping or selling your bottles.

Ahah! There you are... always doing your reviews right before you head to the gym, lol! I enjoy them much.
Welcome to BN!
www.luckyscent.com - they have small $4 dollar samples of the line.
LuckyScent has samples of Amouage.
Nice! I have watched all of your reviews. I love it when you have your family in the background so you get them to come test smell the stuff. I think it was your brother that said Secretions Magnifique smelled like a dead possum. haha
FYI, I do like several Creeds (I love the smell of printer ink and silverware! ) but I can respect how different everyone's opinions can be and how the scents work so independently from one skin to another.
Thanks for your service and opinions that you display in your videos!
Hello Brandon. Welcome to basenotes. If you don't like Creed, that's very cool with me. I just reviewed Creed Millesime Imperial on my Youtube channel. I don't think I'll be buying the full bottle anytime soon.
Thank you all! I really need to do some more reviews just having a hard time testing out things like I use to. Lol I have been wearing my MR to work in 90-100 degree weather.
I thought you had already joined since you mentioned Basenotes in your reviews!
Well.. welcome aboard then! Haha
Welcome Brandon!
You`re not alone, I`m not also fan of Creed frags. The only one that I liked was Virgin Island Water, but it didn`t inspired me to buy a decant of bottle.
Regarding amouage samples, you can also buy them on the british store Les Senteurs. If you can, do try Epic Her too, which is great on a man`s skin.
Hey, welcome aboard! Your youtube reviews actually helped me alot when i was first getting into fragrances.
Hey bud,
Welcome to BN's. I've watched a few of your vids along with the other big YouTube reviewers. Here's a link to some other info to support your vids.
Keep up the good work.
Tom Ford Splits!!!! - Tobacco Vanille, Tuscan Leather, Oud Wood, Noir de Noir - PATCHOULI ABSOLU
Plum Japonais, Italian Cypress, Neroli Portofino, Costa Azzura, Azure Lime, Champacca Absolute

Most of the time I am very proud of the Basenotes community. Time after time I have witnessed the thoughtfulness, empathy & genuine friendship that members of this community extend to others - oldtimers & newcomers alike. There are other times, however, when egos get the upper hand and civility goes out the window. My philosophy is that I won't say anything here that I would not say if you were standing in front of me. Welcome to Basenotes, each and every one of us. ~ TwoRoads
Hi Brandon, I enjoy watching your vids and I don't like Creeds either
Welcome to BaseNotes, Brandon!
I am not exactly in "youth" category anymore and i love my powerfrags, but there's a lot for us all to gain and share in our diversity.
Your Resource Archive is great.
All the very best.
ointments and perfume delight the heart....
I`m also not an older guy but I like power houses, i don`t see a link at age and strong frags. I was at 16 when I tried M7 and it was love at first sight, even at that time when I didn`t understand nothing about frags.

Hey Brandon, welcome to our number. We're a nice bunch really... (PS, I don't really like Creeds that much either)
In a world where people smell bad, it is the personal responsibility of every Basenoter to improve the world one SotD at a time...
Welcome to Basenotes Brandon!
These presentations remind me a bit of A.A.: My name is such-and-such and I used to be a Creed addict...
I find it interesting that Creed has such exalted status, even implied in criticism, that nobody ever would come and introduce themselves: I am X Y and I don't like Rochas... or Guerlain... or ... the way they do with Creed.
We Creed fanatics are less murderous than the reputation which preceeds us would suggest... (-:
Welcome Brandon. I guess we all go about joining the same way: lurk first, then join. I lurked for a minute before I joined too. Anywho, I'm trying to keep up with you and Marc with the video posts, but I am fialing miserably. lol I shoulda BEEN put out a best spring/summer fragrance video. I may still, but it'll be a little less relevant I guess. Anywho, welcome. Enjoy your stay.
As an older person that has tried everything i could get my hands on, i always welcome new points of view both on old and new fragrances, so, of course, Welcome to the forum.!
Thanks every1! Just noticing my nose has gotten very picky lately and I have smelled most designer scents that I would think I would like. Looking for some niche that make me HAVE to buy them.
My Youtube Review Channel: www.youtube.com/cutlasssupremesl
Hey man, I've seen your videos and enjoyed them, especially the ones on SMW and Burberry London.
Get a tester of Marc Jacobs Bang for review. It's hard not to like.
So I just bought 3 Amouage Samples after looking at the note breakdowns to see what I might like: Jubilation XXV, Dia for Men, and Reflection for Men.
But are there any stores that carry this line like Neimans or Saks or Barney's?

Amouage and has a sample program that allows you any 7 fragrance samples for $15.
Just specify the ones you want in the comments box on the order page.
And welcome!
I don't know if it is a MUST by, but in case you didn't see my Amouage thread, I just sampled a few of them, and man, Reflection is a winner for SURE!!! Do check it out and let us know what you think.
Welcome to the forum! Just a small comment I have on your YouTube page. It's extremely difficult to read because the background colors are the same as the text being used. Black on black, brown on brown, green on green, etc.
Other than that, I'm looking forward to watching the vids! Thanks for the work!
Welcome to the boards. I've watched a few of your reviews. The spoof one was hilarious.
If you're looking for Amouage samples, I can pretty much guarantee that www.parfumsraffy.com is the best place to get them. Why? Well, at Luckyscent you pay $4 or $5 for a little 1ml vial with a dabber stick. Aedes is similar (although cheaper). At Parfums Raffy, for $6 you get an official Amouage sample. That's 2ml worth in a wonderful little atomizer with cap and a nice Amouage logo, and also the nice little sampler booklet thingy that the sample comes in, with a write-up of the scent and imagery.
$6 for 2ml comes out to $3/ml, which is basically the same per ml cost as most of the bottles (most are roughly $300 for 100ml bottle). So, if you ever want a decant of an Amouage scent - say 10ml worth -you can just buy 5 official samples from Parfums Raffy for $30.
Given that almost all of the Amouage scents are VERY strong, you can get away with one or at most two sprays with almost all of them. 10ml will last a long time. You'd only need a full bottle if you plan on wearing it rather often.

Men's Basketball Completes Sweep Of Lees-McRae; Smith Scores 25 in the 95-90 Victory
February 1, 2014
MISENHEIMER, NC – Behind 25 point from freshman Mike Smith, the Pfeiffer men's basketball team (5-15, 2-8 CC) completed a season sweep of Lees-McRae (6-13, 1-8 CC) with a 95-90 victory on Saturday evening. Matt Ellwood's three pointer in the corner with 1:43 to play gave Pfeiffer a 92-90 lead and the Falcon defense allowed only one field goal in the game's final 2:57 to secure the win.
David McNair narrowly missed a double-double with nine points and 10 rebounds, while AJ Clark added 15 points. Silvere Aluko was a force in the paint defensively with four monstrous blocks, and added nine points and five rebounds.
The Falcons hit 10 three pointers in the contest, led by three from Ellwood, who finished with 13 points. Charlie Wagoner also knocked down two triples to provide a lift off the bench.
Pfeiffer shot 42.9 percent from the field and led the rebounding battle 53-48.
Mike Chambers scored 24 for the Bobcats and Raul Tutton had 14.
Pfeiffer led by as much as 13 in the second half, but the Bobcats would rally to take their first lead of the game with 2:57 to go. McNair would knock down a jumper on Pfeiffer's next possession, but Darius Smith answered with a layup on the other end. With the Bobcats leading 90-89, AJ Clark drove the lane and dished to an open Ellwood who drained the three pointer. McNair and Clark would convert free throws the stretch to seal the victory.
The Falcons return to action on Wednesday, Feb. 5 when they host Mount Olive for a 7:30 p.m. contest.

Awesome work!
This project is very useful for programmers life! It is a stability program without bugs and have an intuitive interface.
You can download Heroes 2 in a format that works with fheroes2 from gog.com for less than 10USD. That's the best way to get it I think. I like it that old games, and some new games, are available there. =)
Stable and works.
This is an awesome project!! I've been using it for a few years just because the regular HoMM II doesn't run that well under Wine, but then I downloaded the most recent version and noticed something interesting... It adds features! fheroes2 has some really neat, really useful new features that can greatly enhance your Heroes experience. The AI needs a bit of work, but all in all it's a great project. I've always wanted to get into free software hacking, and I think I'll look at this project as a start—I have a few features of my own in mind. Keep up the awesome job guys. If there was a gold medal for best free software project, you should definitely win it.

Excellent choice for a men's fragrance. I found out about it from an Italian friend of mine when I lived in Italy, and I have been using it for over 25 years now.

Ferre by Gianfranco Ferre was exactly as described in the site. genuine fragrance, fast shipping and excellent price. No complaints there!!
Written by gsotos on December 20, 2013Read Review details ►
Gianfranco Ferre for men is my favorite "formal" fragrance. I'm 34 years old and wear it when I'm socializing or special evening events. It is a spicy warm rich scent that makes a statement, but doesn't overpower and isn't "knock-your-socks off" strong! I'd recommend it to those who want a lighter, modern version of Dad's cologne.

Much to the dismay of elderly and disabled Mississippians, legislation designed to alleviate some of their tax burdens died a quick death in the Ways and Means Committee of the House of Representatives. The Chairman of that committee said he had too many questions about what he referred to as a complex local tax issue, despite the fact it the legislation has already been passed by the State Senate.
With many residents of Union County being in that age group and some disabled, the lack of consideration of this legislation to ease the effects of this economy on two of the most affected groups is unfortunate.
Margaret Rogers, our State Representative, never got a chance to represent these Union County groups because of its death in committee.
The legislation, as passed by the State Senate, proposed to exempt citizens over the age of 65 and the disabled among us from taxes on the first $100,000 of their property value. Currently, that level is $75,000. For example: an elderly homeowner who owns a $150,000 home would have to pay taxes on only $50.000.
In counties where mandatory property reappraisals and property values went up, interest was high and now disappointments are just as high.
The poor, the elderly and the disabled, or all three rolled up into one, are the groups who suffer the most during tough economic times. This legislation was well intended and should have been passed, but the concern of those outside these groups that such a tax cut would make it necessary at some point in time to raise their taxes to make up the difference prevailed.
The legislative process once again denies all of the representatives of the people of Mississippi from voting the desires and wishes of their constituents. Not that the legislation would have passed for certain, but for the sake of our elderly and disabled, it would have been more in the public's best interests to allow this tax adjustment to have a chance in front of all those who have been elected to represent us.
State Senator, Nickey Browning, who will not get to vote on the Homestead Exemption issue said, " I supported the Homestead Exemption bill. We need to do all we can to help our older people, but the bill died in a House committee.
However, the same sort of event took place in the State Senate involving the much discussed voter ID bill. Although Democrats in Jackson have been the culprits of bushwhacking this legislation, it was the Republicans in the Senate doing the honors this time.
Citing concern over the provisions of early voting and age exemption for senior citizens, the Republican leadership killed the bill before it could get out of the Senate Elections Committee or allowing it to be amended. Another of the provisions of the bill that raised major objections was one that provided for a requirement that people to display a photo identification to vote.
State Senator, Nickey Browning, supported the voter ID legislation, but, once again, did not get an opportunity to consider it. Yet another example of the process getting in the way of the people's representatives having an opportunity to vote the wishes of the people.
Most people in Mississippi of the correct age carry a driver's license in their pocket or handbag. Most of them also have had to show that license to cash a check, get on an airplane or open a bank account, so why is it our legislators have this hand up on not requiring voters to identify themselves? At the same time, other legislators are indifferent to the plight of our elderly and disabled. Could it be because elected officials on the state level feel aloof from those they represent?

Cheesy fabric
By The Dog Walker
from RI
Sleeves were a bit short, not helped by band at end. The fabric was awful. Shiny. Not the muted velour I expected. I now realize I need to buy poly-cotton velour for that soft, quality I was hoping for.
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend

John Chamberlain
A huge character whose life was one long adventure, the late sculptor John Chamberlain (1927-2011) hated the idea that people associated his abstract sculptures with car crashes and auto junkyards. Well, you can't always get what you want. "John Chamberlain: Choices," the collection of approximately 100 works now on view at the Guggenheim Museum, undeniably reads like a DIY handbook for crafting fine art out of junkyard recyclables. It's this angle that makes his work fun, and so much easier to understand than, say, the paintings of Willem de Kooning and other first-generation Abstract-Expressionists whose esthetic he shared.
Chamberlain was an intuitive artist, and once he had devised his "art machine" -- using a "crusher" in the studio on the unwanted discards from auto body shops -- he rarely ventured outside the box. Alternately suggesting golems, boutonnières, plant stalks and crumpled sheets of paper (several fist-sized works from 1969 are exactly that), the sculptures also pass through a typical variety of materials, including not only auto scrap and chromed bumpers but also galvanized steel, urethane foam, metal-flake car parts, luminescent polymer resin and, in some amusing final works, aluminum foil.
In her presentation of the exhibition, Guggenheim senior curator Susan Davidson noted the artist's personal history, which paralleled the rise of what might be called "mechanical America." He was born during the consumer boom of the 1920s, when Henry Ford was producing a car a minute, and had learned to fly a propeller plane by the time he was 11. He served in the Navy, which was important to him, and even worked as a hairdresser, which could be why some of his work looks "coiffed," Davidson said.
True enough, but a better context is found closer to home, in Frank Lloyd Wright's organic spiral, which seems like an emblem of neat rationality when set against the orderly chaos of Chamberlain's sculptures.
Following its appearance in New York, "Choices" is scheduled to travel to the Guggenheim Bilbao.
"John Chamberlain: Choices," Feb. 24-May 13, 2012, at the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum, 1071 Fifth Avenue, New York, N.Y. 10128

KENNER, La. - On Friday, a serious winter storm was fast approaching the northeast, and airports were preparing for the worst. Crews staged snow plows and salt trucks.
Meanwhile, the impending storm canceled thousands of flights across the country, impacting those vacationing during the Carnival holiday and those visiting to join in on the festivities.
Nearly 40,000 people went through Louis Armstrong International Airport on the Monday after the Super Bowl.
And less than a week later, the airport expects to see a high volume of commuters as most flights to the city are packed during the main weekend of Carnival.
Officials recommend travelers arrive at the airport two hours in advance of their flight.
By 7 a.m., three flights out of Armstrong Airport to LaGuardia, JFK and Newark had been canceled. At least four to six more flights are expected to be canceled in the afternoon.
Nationally, at least 2,600 flights to or from the northeast were canceled through Saturday. This will spread delays and cancellations throughout the entire system.

This article assumes there is a great deal of difference between an above average training staff and a below average training staff. What if there is a rather small variability among training staffs (low standard deviations--they don't deviate from each other all that much)?
Michael, it's a bit like what you guys talked about in your last podcast--why would Eric Gordon rehab in LA when there's likely very little difference between rehab programs in LA and NOLA?
If, say, the middle 25 training staffs in the NBA are all more or less at the same level of competence (Phoenix being an outlier in a good way, and though it's possible the Hornets are an outlier in a bad way, let's assume not), does the optimism bias really apply to training staffs?
I agree that the optimism bias applies to the Gordon situation--we were optimistic Gordon would stay healthy for us when history suggests that's not likely to happen--but I think the training staff argument may be a bit of a stretch.

Confessions of an Ugly Stepsister
Confessions of an Ugly Stepsister (Paperback)
Is this new land a place where magics really happen?
From Gregory Maguire, the acclaimed author of Wicked, comes his much-anticipated second novel, a brilliant and provocative retelling of the timeless Cinderella tale.
In the lives of children, pumpkins can turn into coaches, mice and rats into human beings.... When we grow up, we learn that it's far more common for human beings to turn into rats....
We all have heard the story of Cinderella, the beautiful child cast out to slave among the ashes. But what of her stepsisters, the homely pair exiled into ignominy by the fame of their lovely sibling? What fate befell those untouched by beauty . . . and what curses accompanied Cinderella's exquisite looks?
Extreme beauty is an affliction
Set against the rich backdrop of seventeenth-century Holland, Confessions of an Ugly Stepsister tells the story of Iris, an unlikely heroine who finds herself swept from the lowly streets of Haarlem to a strange world of wealth, artifice, and ambition. Iris's path quickly becomes intertwined with that of Clara, the mysterious and unnaturally beautiful girl destined to become her sister.
Clara was the prettiest child, but was her life the prettiest tale?
While Clara retreats to the cinders of the family hearth, burning all memories of her past, Iris seeks out the shadowy secrets of her new household--and the treacherous truth of her former life.
God and Satan snarling at each other like dogs.... Imps and fairy godmotbers trying to undo each other's work. How we try to pin the world between opposite extremes!
Far more than a mere fairy-tale, Confessions of an Ugly Stepsister is a novel of beauty and betrayal, illusion and understanding, reminding us that deception can be unearthed--and love unveiled--in the most unexpected of places.
About the Author
Gregory Maguire is the author of several best-selling adult novels, including Wicked, which was turned into a Broadway musical. His books for younger readers include the picture book Crabby Cratchitt, the novel The Good Liar, and the popular Hamlet Chronicles series. While writing Leaping Beauty, Mr. Maguire sadly became allergic to all creatures great and small. Now he lives in a house without pets, though he is the father of three happy, noisy small children to whom, at this writing, he has not yet developed allergies.

The American Osteopathic Association installed Carlo J. DiMarco, DO, professor and regional dean of clinical medicine at the Lake Erie College of Osteopathic Medicine and director of the ophthalmology residency program at Millcreek Community Hospital, as its 2008-09 president on Saturday, July 19. (see video tribute to Dr. DiMarco on You Tube).
"The DiMarco family has roots in professions that nurture the community. My grandmother worked as a nurse in Italy treating wounded soldiers during World War II," said Dr. DiMarco in his inaugural address. "When I worked as an auto mechanic to pay for medical school, I never would have guessed that one day I would become president of the American Osteopathic Association."
|Carlo DiMarco, D.O.
Dr. DiMarco is an AOA-board certified osteopathic ophthalmologist. In addition to his position at LECOM, Dr. DiMarco is a member of Medical Associates of Erie, a network of multi-specialty physicians who practice throughout Erie County and teach in affiliation with LECOM.
As past chair of both the Department of Professional Affairs and Department of Education of the AOA, and former president of Pennsylvania Osteopathic Medical Association, and former President of the American Osteopathic College of Ophthalmology and Otolaryngology / Head and Neck Surgeons (AOCOO-HNS), Dr. DiMarco has long maintained a leadership role within the osteopathic medical profession.
A longtime member of the AOA Board of Trustees, Dr. DiMarco also served as chair of what is now known as the Committee on AOA Governance and Organizational Structure and vice chair of the Bureau of AOA Constitution and Bylaws.
In addition to his involvement with the AOA, Dr. DiMarco was team ophthalmologist for the Philadelphia 76ers from 1995 to 2006 and team ophthalmologist for the Philadelphia Wings lacrosse team from 2000 to 2006.
Upon earning his osteopathic medical degree from the Philadelphia College of Osteopathic Medicine in 1978, Dr. DiMarco completed an internship at PCOM.
The American Osteopathic Association proudly represents its professional family of more than 61,000 osteopathic physicians (DOs); promotes public health; encourages scientific research; serves as the primary certifying body for DOs; is the accrediting agency for osteopathic medical colleges; and has federal authority to accredit hospitals and other health care facilities. More information on DOs/osteopathic medicine can be found at www.osteopathic.org.
