On May 4th, child and family studies graduate students were honored with awards during a special ceremony. Each award presented is unique and recognizes students for academic success as well as promise and potential for future professional goals.
The Jack Reilly Institute for Early Childhood and Provider Education and its Department of Child and Family Studies, along with Child Care Solutions, invited the community to the Ninth Annual Jack Reilly Distinguished Lecture featuring Dr. Alice Sterling Honig, Ph.D. on Thursday, May 21, 7:00 p.m. at Peck Hall, 601 E. Genesee Street, Syracuse. The event was free and open to the public. In addition to hearing Dr. Honig's presentation entitled, "The emotional life of babies: What we need to know to promote secure attachment," the annual event presents an opportunity to ask questions, and to network with parents, providers and educators. The program qualified for one NYSOCFS training hour.
As they've done in previous years, Falk students and their peers on campus, working with faculty and staff, have partnered with McMahon/Ryan Child Advocacy Center to bring attention to the issue in a visual way: by planting pinwheels on campus. And on April 24, the Student Council on Family Relations, and the Department of Child and Family Studies, will present "Pitfalls in the Diagnosis of Abuse."
On April 16, child and family studies majors were honored for excellence during a special ceremony. Each award presented is unique and recognizes students for academic success as well as promise and potential in the program of study or future professional goals.
On April 16 the Department of Child and Family Studies hosted its internship poster session for students taking CFS 494 where they share their experiences of putting theory into practice via their trifold presentations. Many participating students have had two separate experiences while others stayed at the same placement for both courses, each producing a rich and informative practicum experience.
Kimberly Raymond, a doctoral student in Falk College's Department of Child and Family Studies, received Syracuse University's 2015 Outstanding Teaching Assistant Award. This honor is given to recognize teaching assistants who have made distinguished contributions to Syracuse University by demonstrating excellence in significant instructional capacities as classroom teachers, laboratory or studio instructors, recitation of discussion section leaders, or assistants to faculty members for high-enrollment courses. TAs are nominated by their departments and selections are made by a committee of faculty from across campus.
The Department of Child and Family Studies (CFS) recently announced eight high-achieving students were inducted into Kappa Omicron Nu, Omicron Alpha Iota chapter honor society for CFS majors at Syracuse University.
The 6th Annual Mini-Conference on Play, Early Childhood Development, and Education was sponsored by The Pennsylvania Association for The Education of Young Children, The Northwest Regional KEY, NIttany Kiwanis, The Jack Reilly Institute, Syracuse University & The College of Education and Penn State University. This year's sessions included "Open-Ended Play" by Dr. Michael Patte of Bloomsburg University, "Family Play in Diverse Cultures"
by Dr. Jaipaul Roopnarine of Syracuse University with Dr. Mine Gol-Guven of Bogazici University, "Trust in Play" by Dr. Belma Tugrul of Penn State University followed by a Panel Discussion
Lead by Dr. James Johnson of Penn State University.
Best for Babies, written by professor emerita of child and family studies, Alice Sterling Honig, was recently named a Silver Award Winner by the National Parenting Publications Awards (NAPPA).
"Early experiences with music provide the foundation upon which future music learning and appreciation are built," says Daria Webber, director of the Bernice M. Wright (BMW) Child Development Laboratory School in Falk College's Department of Child & Family Studies. An ongoing creative collaboration involving BMW teachers and music education faculty members in the College of Visual and Performing Arts' (VPA) Rose, Jules R. and Stanford S. Setnor School of Music, in conjunction with Syracuse University's School of Education, recently connected college-aged and preschool students for a unique and valuable learning experience.
Falk College child and family studies students took part in the OttoTHON dance marathon on the Syracuse University campus Saturday, February 28. A CFS student in the Child Life Specialist track, Lucero Andujar, was a key organizer for this event [she serves on the Executive Board].
Ellie Prather '15, a child and family studies major and health and wellness minor, was selected for and completed the Boston University Summer Study Internship Program in the Public Health and Social Policy Track. In addition to earning college credits, the experience guided her internship at Medically Induced Trauma Support Services, a nonprofit organization dedicated to supporting patients, families and clinicians who have been involved in medical error.
With a research focus that includes the workplace and how it affects employees and their families, assistant professor of child and family studies, Kamala Ramadoss, Ph.D., was a featured presenter during the South Asia Center's Spring Speaker Series earlier this semester where she presented, "Work-family Interface in India."
During the Spring of her junior year, CFS senior, Abigail Aaron studied abroad in Durban, South Africa, located on the western coast. The program she was enrolled in was entitled, Community Health and Social Policy. Her courses explored healthcare delivery including the practice, prevention and promotion of healthcare, as well as the role that the media plays on influencing the wide range of health topics in South Africa.
CFS doctoral student, Kimberly Davidson, working with Jaipaul Roopnarine, Ph.D., the Jack Reilly Endowed Professor of Child and Family Studies and director of the Reilly Institute for Early Childhood and Provider Education, have received a $25,000 grant from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, Administration for Children and Families, Head Start Research Scholars. Their research project will explore how children learn about race and ethnicity and the roles that home environment, the neighborhood where they live and the child care programs they attend play in their racial and ethnic socialization.
CFS assistant professor, Rachel Razza, and CFS doctoral student, Kimberly Raymond, have co-written a chapter in the Routledge International Handbook of Young Children's Thinking and Understanding. The chapter is entitled, Executive Function and School Readiness: Identifying Multiple Pathways for School Success. The Routledge International Handbook of Young Children's Thinking and Understanding provides a contemporary and authoritative reference text on young children's thinking. It brings together the expertise of influential, international authors from a variety of disciplines who share a high public profile for their specific developments in the theories of children's thinking, learning and understanding. Supported throughout with relevant research and case studies, this handbook is an international insight into the many ways there are to understand children and childhood paired with the knowledge that young children have a strong, vital, and creative ability to think and to understand, and to create and contend with the world around them.
Child and family studies Ph.D. student, Elif Dede Yildirim, working with Jaipaul Roopnarine, Ph.D., the Jack Reilly Endowed Professor of Child and Family Studies, has received a $100,000 grant from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services' Administration for Children and Families. The research project, "Paternal Factors and Childhood Outcomes: The Mediating Role of Relationship Quality and Support Networks," offers great promise for state and local agencies that focus on preventing developmental risks to children that are attributed to challenging home and neighborhood environments.
Falk College professors, Ambika Krishnakumar (Child and Family Studies) and Lutchmie Narine (Public Health) authored "Parenting practices and adolescent smoking in mainland China: The mediating effect of smoking-related cognitions," which appeared in the August 2014 edition of the Journal of Adolescence. In collaboration with Dr. Yan Wang, Drs. Krishnakumar and Narine examined the direct and indirect associations of general and smoking-specific parenting practices with Chinese adolescents' smoking behaviors. Results suggest that parenting practices and smoking-related cognitions are critical components to be incorporated in prevention and intervention programs for adolescent smoking in China.
For students in the Department of Child and Family Studies' course, Sport and Human Development, a recent interactive class discussion focused on the power of sport in UNICEF's day-to-day work with children and communities around the world. Dr. Terry MacDonald created and teaches the course, which examines the role sports play in positive and healthy youth development. During the Fall semester, she invited Caryl M. Stern, president and CEO of the U.S. Fund for UNICEF, and Matt Meyerson, UNICEF senior director for sport partnerships, to meet with her students.

They say a baby changes everything, but for Kim Kardashian, it's literally going to change her entire money-making lifestyle.
Kim went on Jimmy Kimmel last night and since she's not an actress with a movie to promote, he asked the standard question everyone's been asking her, will your baby be on the reality show?
"The baby is not going to be on our show. When he or she decides that's what they want to do, then that will be a decision," says Kim.
There is NO WAY their reality show will still be on television when the baby is old enough to make decisions for itself. No way!
Kim says it was super difficult to make the choice between giving your child a normal life or pimping it out for the E! network.
"It's a tough decision. From the start, as of now, that's just a personal choice that Kanye and I have made. We're going to try to keep it as private as possible."
Kim also said that her child will NOT be wearing any hand-me-downs because Kanye West plans on putting the baby in couture.
"If anyone knows Kanye, they just know how into fashion he is and I think he's going to have things, like, specially made. So I don't think hand-me-downs are going to work," says Kim.
In semi-related news, Kris Humphries' legal team watches "Kourtney and Kim Take Miami." Because they are fans of the show? Maybe, but specifically because they think it will help Kris in the upcoming deposition.
"Kris' divorce attorneys, including Lee Hutton, and his staff of paralegals, faithfully watch the Kardashian reality shows so they will leave no stone unturned when she is questioned at her upcoming deposition," a source told RadarOnline.com.

Not sure if you watched the Jets the last couple years but Sanchez was turning the ball over left and right too.
Type: Posts; User: PatrickBateman
Not sure if you watched the Jets the last couple years but Sanchez was turning the ball over left and right too.
So we've owned Flacco his entire career, but during that time it's been basically impossible for us to score an offensive TD against the Ravens.
Do you actually expect a real QB to be playing for the Jets? That hasn't happened since when, that one Testaverde season?
34-13 Ravens.
Jets road games (except @ Atlanta) have been completely unwatchable this year.
Who does that though? I don't see coaches yanking QBs after a bad half..
LOL Simms had a INT right there
Bills called off the dogs on that drive. I wonder how Simms would've done if he started the game and had to deal with lack of protection Geno did.
But yeah, let's start Simms guys, give up on...
PFT: Where we take a look at every single free agent available.
You guys are silly thinking we got raped for getting the 13th pick for that money-grubbing CB. Yes Revis's new contact has no guaranteed money, but guess what that means? If he returns to form this...
I like that we're moving away from ground and pound but we still need a real QB.
Beyond repair.
I just miss having a good football team.
I'm glad football is a sport I can still watch even if my team isn't doing good. Cause yeah, I don't expect the Jets to be doing well anytime soon.
I think it's more Woody and Rex scaring GMs away.
F trading him for a player let's trade him to a sucker team for multiple draft picks.
Yeah Woody is the new Dan Snyder. Maybe around the year 2020 we'll make the playoffs again. :facepalm:
Well if the Skins won't part ways with RGIII we could always get that Andrew Luck guy from the Colts.
We only have Braylon for the rest of the year right?
Or the pass rushers the Giants have.
ESPN says McElory is inactive for today's game...What the hell is wrong with this team? :facepalm:
How bout that look Belichick had on his face the entire second half like he was cumming in his pants the whole time? (He probably was)
Jets are proving Braylon right!
I didn't read your big wall of text, but all I have to say is our QB ran in to his own lineman's ***....
This ****ing team...
Hey, at least his uniform color would match Sanchez's nickname if that happened.

continued Two more runs in the seventh created the final margin, but Walsh didn't need extra help. After surrendering a single to Bigsby in the first, he didn't allow another hit the rest of his way to earn his third consecutive one-hitter, walking three and striking out nine.
That just started an eventful weekend for Westhill as it took on red-hot Homer Saturday and had to hang on to pull out a 10-7 victory over the Trojans.
Homer had won eight of its previous nine games (including a 5-4 win over state-ranked Jamesville-DeWitt), and jumped on Westhill 3-0 in the first inning before the Warriors moved in front with four runs in the second.
By the fifth inning, Westhill led 8-3, led by Kevin Drexler's three-for-three effort that included a double and three RBIs, while Kevin Karleski also drove in two runs. But Homer kept getting to Sam Walsh and Mike Burton for runs before Pena came in to pitch the seventh and earn the save.
Much earlier in the week, Westhill rekindled its rivalry with next-door neighbor Bishop Ludden last Monday afternoon and put away the Gaelic Knights 7-1 for its fifth win in a row.
The Warriors scored runs in each of the first four innings, more than enough for Pena, who not only had a double, two runs scored and two RBIs, but also pitched five innings to earn the win, only giving up one hit.
Sam Walsh closed it out in relief and also got an RBI at the plate. Jim Albright had a pair of hits, with Antonacci contributing an RBI. Cory Poplawski and Jack Rauch split Ludden's pitching duties, Poplawski taking the loss as Alex Trunfio drove in Jared Taylor for his team's lone run in the fourth inning.
Ludden, playing right after Westhill on Friday at NBT Bank Stadium, took a 5-4 defeat to Bishop Grimes, the Cobras moving in front with two runs in the bottom of the sixth inning as Poplawski took the loss. Robbie Weigan earned a pair of RBIs as

Insane Lord of the Rings fan, mod tester, and writer of fiction (especially RPs at my staff position at RPGFrontier.net). I'm one of those crazy people who has way too many ideas and can't keep his mouth shut. This is how I got the title of "Head Fanatic," and later Adminship, for the Narnia mod. I was formerly WoA's Secretary of Foreign Affairs, but I've resigned that post for ModDB. Recently, I've only been lurking in the corners of moddb, leaving the PR work for Wars of Arda to the more eager Neth, but you'll still see me around from time to time. I marvel, nonetheless, at the amount of respect I get around here... it's weird, but I guess all you need is a level 10 profile and a few friends.
Posted by ithilienranger732 on Mar 12th, 2010
Dear me, where has the time gone? It seems only yesterday that I was new to the modding world, and completely new to the web. And now I feel as if I should know everything. It's a pity that I haven't been doing... well, anything.
Anyway, I've been doing other things. Anything, in fact, but that which I would normally be doing here. Well, I'm afraid that it's going to stay that way. I may pop in at ModDB from time to time, but I'm afraid my time is up. Goodbye to the community: I hardly knew you.
Of course, nobody will miss me. :-p

By Typedef Enum - November 16, 2002
Return to Castle Wolfenstein is a fairly good example of a more recent game yielding far less performance than Quake 3. I've seen several instances in which some folks believed that a game like this would simply tank under a Surround Gaming scenario, but in reality, this is another ideal game to play on the Parhelia. Let's see how things shake out.
Return to Castle Wolfenstein was tested using the following settings:
Let's take a look at a comparison between a single monitor screenshot and that of Surround Gaming.
Once again, another title that shines under Surround Gaming mode. This is one of those games that, if you had completed the single player game in the past, you wouldn't mind doing all over again in Surround Gaming mode.
Let's see how the hardware handles the task. I used the "checkpoint.dm_57" benchmark that's been floating on the net for quite some time.
Return to Castle Wolfenstein Performance
The results are somewhat curious. A drop of nearly 50% in Surround Gaming might indicate a lack of optimizations in the drivers, but the performance is still high enough to provide a satisfactory gaming experience.
The Surround + FAA scores are good as well. I'd like to see it higher as the drop from normal to Surround Gaming is steep. It would seem that one could get better performance than 48 FPS, but this is still in that playable neighborhood.
It's safe to say that this title does not bring Surround Gaming to its knees. As I said before, it's is a feature that breathes new life into an existing game and you might even consider replaying some of your favorite games over again. In fact, I've already started a new single player game :)
This concept is a testament to the feature itself. If the feature is so compelling that you're willing to replay a game all over again, then you're talking about a very good feature.

Meet Our Students & Faculty
Thank you for your interest in the School of Design at Stevenson University—the place on campus for creative communications across media and materials: from fabric to film to Facebook. Students in the School of Design majoring in Business Communications, Fashion Design, Film and Moving Image, and Visual Communication Design are prepared to pursue careers in innovative fields ranging from advertising, art direction, and public relations to cinematography, costume design, motion pictures, or motion graphics.
While there are wide-ranging options to choose from in the School of Design, there is a unique focus on human-centered problem solving taught in inspired project-based learning environments.
In small classes, expert faculty get to know student's individual goals and aspirations so they may guide them in the direction of their dreams, while providing the skills and foundations necessary to keep their feet planted firmly on the ground. The rigorous curriculum in all programs provides students with opportunities to put theory into practice, applying theoretical principles, emerging technologies, and business acumen to their professional projects and internship experiences.
I invite you to learn more about our excellent programs and the passionate and successful students and faculty in the School of Design at Stevenson University.
Amanda Gingery Hostalka, MFA
Dean, School of Design
When asked about his major, Breönté Martez points out the sense of community and professional focus within the visual communication design department. "Everyone is extremely supportive of one another and the professors add to that by pushing students to establish themselves as working professionals."
Outside the classroom, Breönté interned at MTV Network/Viacom in New York City. "It was a lot of hard work and it challenged me as a designer to continuously produce my absolute best."
He was also named "Mr. Stevenson University" for his academic achievements, professional development, campus involvement, and community efforts.
For Katie Shelton, finding a university that offered small classes with a personalized experience to study film and video was a top priority."Stevenson University was the answer," she says. Katie also completed a minor in art. "My favorite part about this major at SU is that I got to be hands-on all the time. I was able to access equipment for projects inside and outside of class." Katie completed an internship with Professional Sound Services in New York City and freelances as a photographer and production sound mixer.
SU's Fashion Design program is what drew Mary Katherine to Stevenson. "It focuses on technical design, meaning we learn to produce garments made to the industry standard. Everything we learn is geared toward making us better designers and, ultimately, gaining a career," says Mary Katherine.
In fact, her favorite professor has had firsthand experience in the fashion industry. "Her knowledge of design is unparalleled as she has worked for the House of Dior, Chanel, and Yves Saint Laurent. She is incredibly knowledgeable, creative, and encouraging," explains Mary Katherine.
For Katie Foster, the versatility of the business communication major was key in her education. "I've studied marketing, management, consumer behavior, conflict, communications, and design. I feel like I've done a little bit of everything!"
Katie is now building her career, which started off with a job offer from her senior year internship site. Through networking, Katie is now working with a wedding planning and event design company, where she is enjoying carrying out the visions of bridal clients.
For Megan, the devoted education department was what drew her to Stevenson. "My favorite part about being an Elementary Education major is the dedication of the education professors, the sense of community within the major, and the friendships I have made with my peers. Whenever you have a concern or just need to talk to someone you can count on anyone in the education department to be there to help you."
Megan looks forward to her career after she graduates. "I am very passionate about teaching others and am so excited to become a teacher."
After six years in the US Navy, Joshua found his new niche at Stevenson. "I feel at home. It's like I was always supposed to be here."
Between spending time with his wife and three daughters and serving as Senior Vice-President of Kappa Delta Pi, the Education Honor Society, Joshua has learned how to balance his school and personal life. Although it can be tough to be away from his family while at school, Joshua explains, "The classroom and students are what makes me remember why I have to keep going and finish my degree. There's no better feeling than knowing you've made a difference."
As a sophomore, Samantha had already completed two internships. "The School of Education at Stevenson is unlike any other. As an Early Childhood Education major, I was able to intern in my freshman year, while many other schools do not allow you to work in a school until your junior year. I have worked in two different schools with different age groups. These experiences has really allowed me to see if teaching is the right profession for me."
"I love everything about Stevenson, but if I had to choose one thing, I would say the opportunities being placed in front of me in the Public History major. As a sophomore, I have already had the great pleasure of being able to find out what my true passions are through not only in classroom experience but also through history related volunteer experience."

Digitally signed app
The OffsetInXref plugin can be used with AutoCAD® to enable the OFFSET command to work with line contents of blocks and externally referenced drawings, associated arrays, dimensions and tables.
Once loaded, the standard OFFSET command will work with blocks and externally referenced content: instead of responding "Cannot offset that object", the plugin will automatically copy the selected object into the current drawing, allowing it to participate with the OFFSET command. The lowest-level object will be selected, if part of a nested Xref or block, but some objects - such as Hatches - will still cause the "Cannot offset that object" prompt to be displayed. All objects copied temporarily into the drawing will be erased automatically at the end of the OFFSET command. The plugin can either have the OFFSET command create geometry on the current layer (the default) or the source layer. The XOFFSETLAYER command allows configuration of this option.
A trial of this product is available at OffsetInXref Trial. Uninstall the trial before installing the purchased product.

37 year old woman | Winchester, MA, USA | Seeking men 30-41 within 50 miles
The last time I was on Match.com, my roommate wrote my profile…It's about time I write my own…so here goes it… I am a Midwestern girl born and raised, but have lived in Boston for 14 years so the Bostonian ways have sunk in – I drive too fast, work "wicked" into my vocabulary when I can, and can be a bit sardonic at times. However, I am loyal and caring and as one of my best guy friends recently said, "cute and quirky, and a girl you can actually have a conversation with…" I love to explore the city and the world. I just got back from Thailand and went to China last year. Now I am trying to figure out where to go next – list includes Morocco, Vietnam, and Peru. I love to read and always have a book with me. I am not into cooking, however, I make great reservations! It's really hard to shock me – my reaction would generally be just to roll my eyes at you. I can quote the movies Goonies, Romancing the Stone, Raiders of the Lost Ark, Anchorman, and Ghostbusters verbatim. I am down with all types of music – Foo Fighters is my favorite and I have seen them several times live. My relationship style is pretty traditional – I love it when a man takes initiative. Ask me out, ask for my number, call me first, plan the date. I am looking for someone who is considerate, respectful and fun to be with. Someone who is spontaneous, someone who will make me laugh, and someone who isn't afraid of my Scorpio ways!
Book club , Coffee and conversation , Cooking , Dining out , Movies/Videos , Museums and art , Music and concerts , Exploring new areas , Shopping/Antiques , Travel/Sightseeing
Bowling, Dancing, Other types of exercise, Walking / Hiking, Yoga
I exercise 3-4 times per week.
I like Dogs, Fish
Love dogs but alas, can't have one where I live. Am very allergic to cats so if you have a cat, sorry, not going to work out!
I love to travel - just got back from Thailand and fell in love with Southeast Asia while I was there. Need to figure out where to go next !
Drake University, Des Moines, IA
Love to read, watch movies (too many favorites to list), try new restaurants and generally just hanging out.
I love exploring the city - even though I have lived here for 14 years, I feel like there is so much more to see and do. Trying to catch up on movies via NetFlix. Going out, meeting new people, trying new restaurants, and hanging out...

Author Jen Lilienstein's New Book, A PARENT'S PLAYBOOK FOR LEARNING, Reveals Effective Strategies to Maximize Children's Learning Potential
Frontsiders, LLC is thrilled to announce the publication of A Parent's Playbook for Learning. The Playbook reveals personality-based tools, techniques and strategies that help parents play to their kids' innate learning strengths.
Study after study highlights the importance of parental involvement in their child's education. In fact, BYU, UCI and NC State's most recent research found that "parental involvement is a more significant factor in a child's academic performance than the qualities of the school itself." (October 2012) Research like this reinforces that parents can no longer afford to sit on the sidelines when it comes to educating their children. Amassed from nearly 100 reference texts, the Parent's Playbook for Learning shows parents exactly how to support and encourage a child's education in the ways that are best for him or her.
Says author Jen Lilienstein, "As parents, we have all been there. Once our wee ones emerged from the womb, we started devouring books and websites that would tell us whether co-sleeping, the No Cry Sleep Solution or Ferber-izing our baby would be best. As they grew, we started to understand that their personalities played a big part in what parenting approaches would be most effective for them. Personality type plays a huge role in what careers appeal to us, who we select as our friends, and which partner with whom we choose to spend our lives. But, we often forget that personality type also matters in learning. Just as we naturally approach problems differently as adults, kids also look at problems and concepts differently."
Ms. Lilienstein's new book examines at how to best approach everything from getting organized and time management to homework practice, test prep, approaching new concepts, enrichment activities, group learning, motivation, and handling failures based on the child's personality type. A Parent's Playbook for Learning is available on Amazon.com, BarnesAndNoble.com, Kobo, Smashwords, and at bookstores nationwide.

THE MIND – PERFORMANCE BY EGILL SÆBJÖRNSSON AND MARCIA MORAES. Hafnarhús, Thursday 5 November at 8 p.m.
Egill Sæbjörnsson opened his exhibition Spirit of Place and Narrative last Thursday at Reykjavik Art Museum – Hafnarhús. Last Sunday he gave an artist's talk and next Thursday he will make a performance, The Mind, along with artist Marcia Moraes. The performance is in cooperation with Sequences Real Time Festival now taking place in Reykjavik.
The narrative side of Egill Sæbjörnsson's work comes to the fore in this exhibition at Hafnarhús. On display are works dating from 2005, featuring dialogue between characters or objects that convey unfolding events or time. Places and objects harbor a certain life that emerges in human proximity, within and beyond gallery walls. Through prior knowledge, each person bestows meaning on what crosses his or her path. Egill Sæbjörnsson was nominated for the 2010 Carnegie Art Award and did recently release his second music CD. A substantive book on his art was recently published in Germany. Egill lives and works in Berlin.

Very Rare C. Bechtler Quarter Eagle, MS62(1837-42) $2 1/2 C. Bechtler Quarter Eagle, 64G. 22C. MS62 NGC. K-11, R.6. While Georgia-based Templeton Reid was the first notable private gold coiner of the Piedmont Gold Rush, the Bechtler family were metallurgical pioneers in North Carolina. As described in Donald Kagin's Private Gold Coins and Patterns of the United States, Christopher Bechtler, Sr. was born in Phorzheim, Baden, in 1782. (Kagin refers to Baden, in present-day Germany, as a "Grand Duchy." While this was true at the time of the Bechtler family's immigration to the United States in 1829, at the time of Bechtler Sr.'s birth, Baden was a margraviate within the decaying Holy Roman Empire.) Bechtler Sr., an expert metallurgist, brought along his sons Charles and Augustus, as well as a nephew also named Christopher. Though they initially settled in the north -- the family arrived in New York City and applied for citizenship and set up shop in Philadelphia -- within a year of arrival, they bought land in Rutherford County in North Carolina and moved down there, where they began a coinage dynasty.
K-11, 64 Grains, Uneven '22'
K-11, 64 Grains, Uneven '22'
This 64-grain C. Bechtler quarter eagle is undated but was struck either just before or contemporaneously to the Charlotte Mint's earliest years of operation. Its orange-gold surfaces are lightly abraded but unworn and considerably reflective, especially on the denomination side. The uneven placement of the paired "2" symbols (for 22 carats) underscores what must have been rough coinage conditions, though slightly rarer "Even 22" coins were struck at the same weight limit. Listed on page 373 of the 2013 Guide Book. (PCGS# 10073)

Every year for the past 20 years, Don and Ellie Funk have graciously hosted a favorite, famous and beloved guest in their lakeside home.
He usually appears in the second week of December and stays until he has to return to the North Pole to make his toys and gifts run on Christmas Eve.
He travels light, with few personal items, as he never seems to shave, and always wears the same style of clothing.
However, he does bring reindeer along with him, for which the Funks have graciously provided a shelter.
Vandalia had three starters in double figures on Tuesday night as they defeated Hillboro, 60-46.
The Vandals picked up their third consecutive win and moved above the .500 mark for the first time this season with the win.
Marty Johnson scored a team-high 22 points, 15 of which came from beyond the arc. On defense, he battled down low for 10 rebounds.
Holding a narrow lead after the first quarter, Vandalia outscored the Hilltoppers 17-8 in the second quarter to take a 10-point lead at the half.
After seeing Cowden-Herrick last week and winning easily behind a 23-point performance by Nathaniel Maxey, St. Elmo should have felt pretty confident going into Tuesday night's game against the Hornets. Only this time, the Eagles would be without their leading scorer. But that didn't hurt their confidence at all.
For many low-income families, the Christmas holiday season is a tough time of year.
This year, it's particularly difficult – with many families facing seasonal layoffs or job losses.
Many of those families have used the services of the CEFS food pantry, leaving the food supplies precariously low.
To sit in on a casual conversation with Dale "Pete" Burnam and Glen "Whitey" Daniels, one would think the two were highly incompatible.
As they volley insults back and forth, however, it soon becomes clear they actually share a close, brotherly-love-like friendship and have the utmost respect for one another.
When not harassing one another, they are quick with compliments, credits and tributes to the other.
Rooms illuminated by candlelight will highlight the annual Christmas Open House from 4:30-6:30 p.m. this Saturday at the Vandalia Statehouse State Historic Site, the oldest remaining Capitol building in Illinois.
The Statehouse where Abraham Lincoln served as a state representative from 1836-39 will be trimmed with 1800s decorations, including fresh greenery, fruits and nuts.
Statehouse staff and volunteers in period clothing will greet visitors and be available to answer questions. Period recorder music will be provided by Baroque Folk.
The division created by the mayor's firing of the police chief has risen to the level that the St. Elmo City Council is unable to conduct regular business.
Various area media outlets reported that the council's regular December meeting came to an early end when three of the city's aldermen walked out of the meeting in protest of Mayor Larry Tish's decision not to reopen discussions on the firing of Ken Thomason.
Over the displeasure of two aldermen, the Vandalia City Council on Monday approved an 8.57-percent increase in water rates as a way of helping the city's ailing water and sewer funds.
That increase is on top of the 7.19-percent water rate increase approved by the council in September.
In presenting the latest increase, City Administrator Jimmy Morani explained that the rate hike was being proposed as a way of generating funds that the city did not receive as a result of council action in 2007.
Two months after the deadline passed for Motown Technology & Sports Facility Inc. to provide proof of financing for a $300-million sports and entertainment complex in Vandalia, the Vandalia City Council gave the group seven more months to provide that proof.
The council approved that extension in a 6-1 vote after hearing that Motown has received a letter of intent for the financing of a $300-million sports and entertainment facility that would be built on the city's west side.
As the first blast of winter hit this week, the memories of past winters – when we had mounds of snow – came to mind. This year, according to the persimmon seed, with its telltale spoon, we should expect to have our snow shovels at the ready.
The winter of "eighteen hundred and starve-to-death" in 1831, was not the first big freeze experienced in Illinois. An earlier freeze, about 1813, was known as the "year without a summer."

The legendary country music, singer-songwriter, Willie Nelson, returns to Augustas Bell Auditorium with special guest Lukas Nelson on Dec. 4 at 7:30 p.m. Tickets go on sale Friday at 10 a.m. online at georgialinatix.com, by phone 877-4AUGTIX and the Champions Box Office at the James Brown Arena.

Nelson, known for his classic ballads, autobiographical road songs, and catchy rhythms, uses a variety of music styles to create his own blend of country music. His unique sound, which uses a relaxed, behind-the-beat singing style and gut-string guitar, and his nasal voice and jazzy, off-center phrasing, has been responsible for his wide appeal, and has made him a vital icon in country music, influencing the new country, new traditionalist, and alternative country movements, according to media reports.

Asian Armor?
I've searched through the forums and haven't quite found what I am looking for, as well as checking out google has done no good. Perhaps because I am uneducated on what I am looking for specifically.
I was thinking Mongolian or Hunnish armor? I might be wrong, I was wondering if anyone had any pictures/links of armor/clothing similiar to following. Or if your educated in such things and can place the culture it comes from as well as maybe some names of some of the stuff I am looking for.
Would really appreciate it, thanks.

Keeneland January Sale: Mood Is Upbeat
Even though the weather could have been better, the mood generally was positive in the barn area at Keeneland as horsemen prepared for the first major Thoroughbred auction of the year, the January horses of all ages sale.
Snow and frigid temperatures made the conditions uncomfortable, but consignors seemed satisfied by the number of prospective buyers inspecting the stock Jan. 9, the day before the Central Kentucky auction's start.
"I've been pleasantly surprised with the traffic," said Guiness McFadden, sales director for Three Chimneys Farm. "Yesterday was a little cold and there was snow, but things really picked up in the middle of the day. I've seen the usual suspects that you would expect to see out here. It has been good; I'm happy."
Two of the auction's most attractive offerings – grade I-winning racing or broodmare prospects Ave and Wickedly Perfect -- are in the Three Chimneys Sales' consignment.
"I think there is the possibility of a few horses out here bringing a million dollars; it's attainable," McFadden said. "But that's a lot of money in this economic climate, and the right situation is going to have to present itself. A horse will have to check every box and then some."
At Select Sales' barn, Carrie Brogden reported that the Galileo mare Gallileo Figaro, who is a half sister to grade I winner Gozzip Girl and in foal to Speightstown , and Canadian grade III winner C Karma (by Exchange Rate ), who is in foal to Curlin , were both "tremendously popular" with shoppers.
"But I do wish I had a lot of top short yearlings," Brogden said. "People have loads of money to spend on them if they can find the ones that have it all in terms of sire power, conformation, and vetting."
In talking to buyers and her fellow consignors, Brogden has noticed a change in their outlook even though the American economy and the Thoroughbred industry still have a lot of problems to overcome.
"I think attitudes in general are much more upbeat about everything, and people feel better about all facets of their lives," she said.
Tommy Eastham of Legacy Bloodstock agreed with Brogden that nearly everyone's frame of mind was more upbeat.
"It seems like there is some optimism," he said. "I do feel like our market has stabilized and that we're starting to maybe rebound a little bit. Our show volumes have been about what we expected -- maybe a little better – and the interest has been spread out more among horses. The mares are actually getting more love after being tough to sell in the (2010 Keeneland) November (breeding stock) sale."
Denali Stud's Craig Bandoroff, bundled up like he was heading out to make a ski run, had a steady stream of buyers to deal with late in the morning.
According to Wayne Sweezey of Timber Town Stable, there didn't appear to be as many people on the sale grounds as usual, but "our number of shows has been about right for January. We're getting enough action."
The Keeneland auction will run for five days, through Jan. 14, in Lexington, and there are more than 1,800 horses in its catalog. Each session will start at 10 a.m. EST.

The £646 million global fund saw its net asset value (NAV) total return rise by 0.9 per cent in the three months to the end of July.
That was 2.2 points behind the 3.1 per cent advance of the world index.
In the previous six months, the trust's total NAV return slid backwards by 2.8 per cent while the world index was up 0.4 per cent.
The self-managed trust announced on July 18 that Mr Kennedy was stepping down with immediate effect after 21 years, of which the last 10 were as manager.
His deputy Alasdair McKinnon, who has been with the trust since 2003, was appointed as acting manager.

30 year old woman | New York, NY, USA | Seeking men 27-38 within 10 miles
all that im after is a life full of laughter.
In writing a speech for a maid of honor toast I am giving in October, I mention that love and being in love/a strong relationship is partially when you love who you are when you're with that person. When your partner makes you feel more confident and loved than you are on your own, and they bring out the best in you. From past experiences, and two long term relationships, I believe I do know exactly what I am looking for. In this crazy world of dating in NYC, where it is considered especially hard, I've found I've met people who would probably be picture perfect in a relationship, but the chemistry was not there, and I've met people who I've had instant chemistry with, but am not compatible with in a long term relationship. So- about me.. I'm extremely driven and passionate about what I do for a living. I'd like to meet someone who is also passionate about their job, goals, career, aspirations, etc.. I won the business award in high school and in college was in a co ed business fraternity (we were really social, so please don't think dorky bc it wasn't at all!), so I guess I also enjoy business (not the boring, lets talk finance and numbers and accounting, but rather the creative aspect and entrepreneurial mindset). I believe nyc has opportunity for anyone who is driven enough to succeed, and genuinely enjoy listening to other people talk about their interests and goals. I have flexibility in my schedule where I can make my own hours, and enjoy traveling when I can, or atleast during the major holidays I try and get away. I most recently came back from China (though cant say it was my favorite place). My next vacation that I am dying to go on would be a safari. Realistically, if I end up going somewhere with friends, it may end up being somewhere in the Caribbean. Other than that, I am a huge dog lover, the lab in my photos passed away earlier this year but was a huge part of my life (she was 15 when she died), and while I love animals/dogs, am not ready for another one yet. I love kids and want to work with them one day (not what I do at all now though). I have two nephews* I am crazy for, and so proud of (I brag as if I am the mother). Ultimately, I am not looking for my twin on here- but rather someone who exposes me to new things, has their own interests and passions, and someone who can ultimately turn into my best friend. I am somewhat old fashioned with dating, so I guess looking for someone with good and strong values, who is looking for something more serious as well. Ultimately being a kind, loving and able to make me laugh is at the top of my list. If you think we have potential, please message me!

We really enjoy this pudding! The last time I made it I suddenly had to leave the house, so I put it in a 250* oven for the remainder of the cooking time and it came out just as good. Sometime...
Absolutely delicious. Either cinnamon or nutmeg is great. Added extra spice. Didn't have a double boiler used ordinary pot on very low fire. Stirred often.
I recently made this and thought it tasted really good. I made it with skim milk and had a problem with it not thickening. Some corn starch and water mixed together then added in did the trick.

28 year old man | Playa del Rey, CA, USA | Seeking women 20-35 within 50 miles
We are what we think.
I do not believe chivalry is dead, however I'm less than a hopeless romantic. I'm the type of guy who will take a woman by the hand without asking her. I want a woman with a good sense of humor, who knows how to have a great time and who can open to trying new things out of their comfort zone. She will drop her plans for the weekend and spontaneously drive north up the coast to Big Sur or shoot to Vegas for the weekend. She's someone who is active, motivated, and loves exploring new parts of town. A few things about myself: -My family is very important to me. I grew up with an extremely large extended family and we still keep in close contact despite living in different parts of the country. There's 18 of us cousins and each one of them is like a brother/sister to me. -I love food. I'm a big fan of cooking. It's my version of a creative outlet. I also love trying new restaurants around town. Los Angeles is a great town to be a foodie with all of the different cultures that call home here. I feel like I have just scratched the surface in my 3 years here. Just had my first Kogi cart experience a month ago (I know sad). If you have a large pot of LA foodie knowledge or love to try new cuisines, then we would get a long quite well. -The ocean and the mountains. I love biking, surfing, paddle boarding, hiking/backpacking, and fishing. -A good micro brew. My stint living in Portland turned me into a beer snob. -Coffee. I can thank the Pacific Northwest for this one as well. -Traveling. I feel like everyone lists traveling in their profile. I love traveling to different countries, but even exploring the different cultures here in America is underrated. -Anthony Bourdain. Not only his shows, but his writing. -Music. Drop me a message if you feel we have similar interest. I would love to meet you :)

It's that time of year again! The one where we gorge ourselves on watermelon, beer, corn-on-the-cob and barbecue. We all know the 'reason for the season' (no, not THAT season), but here are some other mind-bendingly interesting facts about the 4th of July and American consumption. Hooray for the red, white and blue!
1. The 4th of July was not declared a national holiday until 1941.
2. On the 4th of July, 1942, the U.S. air offensive against Nazi Germany began.
3. The number of Americans who will spend the holiday at other people's homes is approximately 41 million.
4. The first official 4th of July party was held at the White House in 1801.
5. Approximately 150 million hot dogs are consumed on this day (no word on how many are kosher).
6. Presidents John Adams, Thomas Jefferson and James Monroe all died on the 4th.
7. The first Independence Day celebration took place in Philadelphia on July 8, 1776.
8. Only John Hancock actually signed the Declaration of Independence on July 4, 1776. All the others signed later.
9. More than 74 million Americans are planning a BBQ for the 4th.
10. Americans spend $111 million on popsicles and charcoal for July 4th weekend.
11. Americans spend $203 million just on condiments for July 4th. Are you team mustard or ketchup?
12. Approximately 68.3 million cases of beer are sold for the 4th of July, which makes it the biggest holiday for beer sales.
13. Americans spend at least $600 million on fireworks nationwide for the 4th. Locally, you can buy them legally in Fillmore, CA.
14. The US imports about $3.6 million of American flags each year, most of them from China. Yay globalization?
15. The tune of the National Anthem was originally used by an English drinking song called To Anacreon in Heaven. L'chaim!

Williams enacts spending, hiring freeze
HUNTINGTON -- Huntington Mayor Steve Williams has put the city under a hiring and unnecessary spending freeze until the end of the fiscal year, June 30.
The mayor made the announcement at a City Council work session Thursday afternoon.
"We did this at this time last year, and it allowed for a cushion heading into working on the budget," Williams said. "Our revenues and expenditures are running the way they should, but our actual cash contingency is lower than I think anyone on this council would be comfortable with.
"In essence, this will help build that contingency back up."
Last year, the first-term mayor put the plan into action on his inauguration day. He also cut each city department's budget by 2 percent, something he's not doing this time around.
"I felt that we didn't need to reduce the budget," he said.
"Our revenues are strong, and our expenditures are running along where we thought they would."
Williams said the city has about $2.5 million in its contingency coffers at the moment, but roughly $2.4 million is what he called "encumbered money," meaning it's budgeted to be spent.
"Less than $100,000 is actual contingency cash," he said. That's not much should the city face an emergency, he said.
"So our intention is, for our own fiscal health, let's start building our contingency," he said.
The freeze means vacated positions won't be filled, and the city won't undertake any new major projects until July 1.
"We're not going to be buying new equipment or take on any construction (that isn't already in the budget)," Williams said. "We won't be filling any positions, so we will start accumulating from those vacated salaries and that becomes working capital."
Hiring and spending freezes are not a new budgetary tactic in the city. The two previous administrations -- those of Kim Wolfe and David Felinton -- also used freezes to stabilize the city budget. And it hasn't always been the mayor who has made the call. In 2005, it was the City Council that voted to enact a spending and hiring freeze.
Williams told the council Thursday that he knew when he was a councilman, he would look at the numbers and become alarmed at what action needed to be taken. He said his decision was partly made to pre-empt any panic on the council's part.

Looking for a fun, caring guy
My friends would say I stick to my beliefs and have strong morals. They would say I'm a great friend that finds and maintains meaningful relationships rather than having lots of aquaintences. I am a hard worker and am passionate about what I do. I hope to either be a school psychologist or a teacher, I love working with kids and helping them learn and grow. I can be percieved as a shy person but I definitely open up once I get to know someone. I can be quiet, but I can also talk a lot and possibly be a little loud haha (I mean I'm Italian so it's in the blood :)) I love someone who is funny, a guy who makes me laugh is a HUGE plus since I love to laugh. I love to goof around and have fun with a guy. I love someone who appreciates me for who I am and doesn't critique me. I find it extremely rude when a guy does that and I don't put up with it. I've played volleyball, softball, basketball, danced, swam, so a guy who plays or has played sports would probably be a better match for me since I like a guy that can keep up with my skills ;) haha I love my family and friends; I would consider my brother one of my best friends. I enjoy going out with my friends, but not somewhere extremely busy, so I can enjoy my time together with them.

My all time favorite TV show is Friends, I own all 10 seaons :). I am a big country music fan but grew up listening to the oldies, pop, hip hop, and rap, so I still listen to those. I also like Frank Sinatra, Michael Buble and such.
I enjoy spending time with my family and friends. I do enjoy my alone time, but I enjoy being with my loved ones. I like to try new things but I usually don't try them by myself. I love sports, so if you play a sport I'll definitely come watch
A text book for my learning and development class...haha, don't have much time to read anything else.

Wonder Tracy Videos Favorite
Picture courtesy of
Wonder Tracy is a BBW porn star who hails from Hungary – usually the land of slender blondes with fake tits, this time the land of the Magyars produced a real bundle of sexy natural curves. A Wonder indeed, at 5'6" tall and a glorious 198 pounds, she carries around a nearly lethal pair of GG cup tits on a 48-inch chest; she also has a booming 100-inch ass, which she loves to show off. Born on June 25, 1975, Wonder Tracy (who is sometimes a bubbly blonde and sometimes a bewitching brunette) is a rising star on the internet and in the world of BBW porn. Tracy's DVD output is slim (unlike her body!) but she's easy to find if you look.

Debutant director Sonam Nair, whose first film is "Gippi", says she will always make films that are close to life and its realities.
Slated for release Friday, her "Gippi" is the story of a teenage girl and how she handles crucial changes in her life.
"My style of filmmaking is that I want to stick to reality zone. On watching my film, people should not feel that they are watching someone is acting. Rather they should feel that they are watching people living their lives," she said here in an interview.
"Making dramatic, typical Bollywood films will be difficult for me," said the director who had assisted Ayan Mukerji in "Wake Up Sid!", which was also realistic in its approach.
Both "Wake Up Sid!" and "Gippi" are Karan Johar's Dharma Productions' projects.
Talking about her next project, Nair said: "I will stick to what I know best, and that is simple, young, and fun films. I have a few ideas, but Karan has to decide which one to make."
"Gippi" features debutant Riya Vij in the title role along with Divya Dutta and Taaha Shah, who made his debut with "Luv Ka The End".

looks like a great movie with a social message. It deals with bullying, peer pressure, grades, life of a everyday teenage kid. Nice
