Genius, Margarita - Strazzera, Elisabetta (2005) Modeling Elicitation effects in contingent valuation studies: a Monte Carlo Analysis of the bivariate approach. Working Paper. CRENoS.
Official URL: http://www.crenos.it/working/pdf/05-02.pdf
A Monte Carlo analysis is conducted to assess the validity of the bivariate modeling approach for detection and correction of different forms of elicitation effects in Double Bound Contingent Valuation data. Alternative univariate and bivariate models are applied to several simulated data sets, each one characterized by a specific elicitation effect, and their performance is assessed using standard selection criteria. The bivariate models include the standard Bivariate Probit model, and an alternative specification, based on the Copula approach to multivariate modeling, which is shown to be useful in cases where the hypothesis of normality of the joint distribution is not supported by the data. It is found that the bivariate approach can effectively correct elicitation effects while maintaining an adequate level of efficiency in the estimation of the parameters of interest.

Okay, today it really hit me that it was warm outside, none of my shorts fit, and my preggy pants are too hot to wear anymore. I made a trip to W_lM_rt to get a few inexpensive things, adn was aghast at the needed size. I lost 20 of my 40 pregnancy pounds right off in the first 2 weeks, and haven't lost a thing in the last 5. Help! I'm breastfeeding and I thought this was supposed to help it melt away....[:p]

Re: Kelly Shu
Also, something to note is that you have to try and make sure the mic and/or shu isn't in the path between the heads where the beater hits and the sound bounces back and forth. If it is...it deadens the drum right out. Not great
Im not a big fan of the SHU b/c its larger than it needs to be, the overall profile is 'too' big, its blocking too much sound.
Their FLATZ model is an alternative, there's no reason you couldn't use it with a regular mic, it has a thinner profile, tho FLATZ is bigger than it needs to be also.

Cumin-Scented Carrots
Posted by Morovino Winery in Appetizers, Sauces and Sides on December 26, 2011
Serve with Barbera.
By now, you may have discovered that Mrs. Vino LOVES recipes and dishes that can serve multiple purposes – these carrots are great on an antipasto platter, as tapas or as a vegetable side dish.
4 large cloves garlic
3/4 teaspoon cumin seeds
½ teaspoon oregano
1 teaspoon ground coriander
1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes
3 tablespoons red or white wine vinegar
1/2 cup olive oil
2 pounds baby carrots
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1/2 small bunch flat-leaf parsley finely chopped
In a food processor or mini-chopper, combine the garlic, oregano, cumin seeds, coriander, and pepper flakes. Add the vinegar and grind to a paste. Drizzle in the olive oil (not too fast, unless you like cleaning olive oil and spices off your cupboard doors–learn from Mrs. Vino's mistakes) and blend until the mixture is emulsified. Set aside while you cook the carrots.
Put the baby carrots in a microwave safe bowl with ¼ c. water and microwave on high for 4-6 minutes until fork tender (every microwave is different, my dears!). Drain the carrots and put back in the bowl. Pour the sauce over the top and stir. Cover with plastic wrap and let sit for 2-3 hours. You can make these the day ahead and refrigerate them overnight. Just let them come back to room temperature and add the chopped parsley, salt and pepper right before serving.
Veggie Stock – it's EASY
Posted by Morovino Winery in Mrs. Vino's Ramblings, Soups and Salads on December 23, 2011
When Mrs. Vino first started receiving her Cal Poly CSA produce box, she found herself using many more veggies than usual (a good thing). Unfortunately, it seemed to take a VERY long time to clean and prep the veggies after a long, hard day slaving in the tasting room (a not good thing). And sometimes the veggies got a bit wilted before she could get to them (a really not good thing). Then Mrs. Vino remembered something her friend Roxanna had told her about saving the wilted veggies and veggie scraps/off cuts to make stock. Now, Mrs. Vino has a freezer full of delicious, nutritious veggie stock to use for soups, stews, crockpots, risotto (particularly delicious), etc. AND, cleaning veggies is no longer a chore, it's Cooking! Here's what to do:
Start with two one-gallon freezer bags. These will be your scrap bags. You will keep them in your freezer – yes, I keep the empty bags in my freezer too, so I know they will always be there. Everytime you go to prep a vegetable – put the peelings and off cuts in the bag in your freezer. These are just some of the things I put in there: onion peels, potato peels, peelings from carrots, cucumbers, beets, rutabegas, beet tops or other greens that have wilted beyond wanting to eat, cilantro stems (be careful how many of those you add, they are strong), wilted basil leaves, peelings from ginger root, tomato tops-not the stem-just the tomato part, cabbage cores, ends and strings of string beans . . . you get the picture! Put any clean, non rotten/non moldy piece of veggie into the bags in your freezer.
It won't take long for you to fill up two freezer bags (takes me about a week). I usually start my stock when I start making dinner. Take a large pot and put your veggie peelings in it. Rinse out the empty freezer bags and put them back into your freezer. Add water to the pot to cover the veggie peelings (about 6 cups). Add 1 t. salt, 3 garlic cloves split in half (you don't even need to peel them), 3 bay leaves and a pinch of red pepper flake. Bring the water in the pot to a simmer. Then ignore it for 2-3 hours. OK, the first time you make this, keep your eye on it so it doesn't boil over. After that, you'll know the right burner setting to just keep it at a simmer.
After 3 hours, pull the pot off the stove and let it sit there to cool down a bit. Before you go to bed cover the pot and put it in the fridge to steep overnight. And, clear a little space in your freezer, you'll need it the next day.
The next morning, AFTER COFFEE, pull the pot out and strain it into a container. Pull out your muffin tins (come on, we ALL have them buried in a cabinet somewhere). Use a ladle and ladle the broth into the muffin tins – you will find that each muffin tin holds about 1/2 cup (one standard ladle full) of broth. Place the muffin tins in your freezer and go to work.
After work, pop the broth ice cubes out of the muffin tins and put them in a clean new freezer bag and store them in your freezer. Now anytime you need broth for a soup, stew, risotto, or just to add a bit of liquid to a pan, you can just add a broth ice cube and know that it is approximately 1/2 cup of broth.
I know it seems complicated and seems to take 2 full days. It's really easy and the end result of the broth is healthy and delicious. QUICK NOTE: If you use beets in your veggie broth it will end up a very interesting pinkish color. I used that to make a risotto that ended up being a bit . . . unusual to look at, but tasted delicous. Just to be aware, in case you don't like pink food.
Frugal doesn't mean cheap, it means using the best possible food products and using them to their fullest.
Vegan Lentil Soup (Mulligatawny)
Posted by Morovino Winery in Soups and Salads on December 23, 2011
Serve with Morovino 09 Dolcetto or 07 Cabernet
3 cups roasted vegetable broth (Recipe in this section of the site)
1 c. dried lentils
1 medium onion, chopped
1 ½ c. light coconut milk
3 T tomato paste
1 t. grated fresh ginger
½ t. ground cumin
1/8 t. ground turmeric juice of
½ fresh lime
½ t. salt or to taste
5 cranks of freshly ground pepper
Combine broth and lentils and onion in a heavy saucepan over medium high heat and bring to a boil. Cover, reduce heat to medium low and simmer 15 minutes or until lentils are tender. Pour half the mixture in a blender and process until smooth. Pour the pureed mixture into a bowl. Add the remaining ingredients except coconut milk to the unprocessed soup in the pot, then process the second half of the mixture until smooth. (ALTERNATE: Once lentils are cooked, place all ingredients except coconut milk in the soup pot and process with an immersion or stick blender til smooth.) Return blended soup to pot and stir in coconut milk. Let simmer over medium heat for 10 minutes. Serve this awesome vegetarian soup topped with a scoop of apple salsa (combine 1 chopped green apple, 3 diced celery stalks, 4 sprigs of chopped cilantro and the juice of the other half of the lime). Serve with crusty french bread!

Recipe by Stephanie
"I knew that my husband's favorite cake was spice cake so I made this for him and he absolutely died when he tasted it! It's now his favorite (even better than his mom's recipe!)."

2 1/3 cups
all-purpose flour
1 cup
white sugar
1 teaspoon
baking soda
1 1/2 teaspoons
ground cinnamon
3/4 teaspoon
ground nutmeg
1/4 teaspoon
ground cloves
1 teaspoon
1 cup
packed brown sugar
2/3 cup
1 cup
1/2 cup
1/2 cup
butter, softened
1 teaspoon
maple flavored extract
4 cups
confectioners' sugar
2 tablespoons
This cake was delicious but there are a few things I would change for next time. First of all I would cut the frosting in half. I baked it in a 13x9 pan and there was literally about an inch of frosting. Also, 45 minutes is a little too long to bake it in a 13x9. When I took it out it was just starting to get black and hard aroung the edges. One last thing...next time I might add some raisins or nuts to the batter. Thanx
I struggled with how many stars to rate this cake. I was not impressed with the cake itself or the recipe directions but the frosting was a real winner. Traditionally, a cake of this type has pretty standard directions: cream the butter or shortening and sugar(s), add eggs one at time, then add the sifted dry ingredients alternately with the liquid, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients. The second problem is that the baking time as directed is far too long. Even at 25 minutes, I believe my layer cake was overbaked, which I'm sure contributed to the third problem, which is that the cake was not nearly as moist as it should have been. The flavor was great, and I did add 1 tsp. of double-strength vanilla. Now the frosting is perfect - silky, fluffy, light and smooth, with just the right amount of maple flavor. But even here there was a problem. Other reviewers have commented they had too much frosting for their 9x13" cake. I, on the other hand, made a layer cake and did not have enough frosting to frost the sides. Unfortunately, given the issues with the mixing and baking instructions and the fact that this was on the drier side, I can only call this an average cake, even though the frosting was simply perfect and beautiful.
120 Ratings
This was good, but I did have to modify it. Like others, my cake was done in 25 minutes, and I was very thankful for the reviews or I might have walked away from the oven and ended up with a burnt cake! I split the batter into two nine inch rounds, so that may have had something to do with it. Otherwise the recipe was great, tasted just like the spice cake I remember. The spice ratio was PERFECT but overall not quite strong enough for me, so I would probably increase the spices by half next time, just to my own preference. I didn't have any maple extract so I tried substituting some of the sugar in the frosting for real maple syrup. The texture was fine but the maple flavor was hardly noticeable--just a warning for anyone else who might try the same thing ;0).
Otherwise it was great. Thanks for the recipe!
The frosting was superb! I added an extra 1/2 tsp. maple flavoring to the frosting since the flavor was too subtle. The cake, however, was very dry. I'll keep the frosting recipe and search for another spice cake recipe to go with it.
Spice cake is my favorite cake, as well. I have been wanting to try this recipe, but was worried the high ratings were more for the frosting than the cake. Not to worry! I did make a few changes, but nothing that substantially changed the recipe. Most of my changes were in the directions because I'm really anal when it come to preparation. First I sifted the flour, cinnamon, baking soda, salt, nutmeg, and cloves, but not the white sugar. I substituted unsalted butter for the shortening and creamed it with the white and brown sugars. I then beat in the eggs (one at a time, as directed), as well as a teaspoon of vanilla extract.
Finally, I added the flour mixture (in fourths) alternately with the buttermilk (in thirds), beginning and ending with the flour mixture. I know this sounds complicated and time consuming, but it really isn't. I baked my cake in a 13x9 pan for 35 minutes. 45 minutes is too long. I always use an oven thermometer, so I know my oven is correct. Anyway, I frosted it with a traditional cream cheese frosting, and my husband and I both thoroughly enjoyed it! So, thank you Stephanie, from both of us!!
Spice cake and carrot cake are tied as my favorite. I loved this recipe, but made a couple of healthy changes. I used Splenda in place of the white sugar, olive oil in place of shortening, and added a cup of applesauce for moisture. I did not substitude anything in the frosting (best part), but cut it in half and had enough. Thanks.
i didnt make the cake...i was looking for a maple frosting recipe and found this, so i only made the frosting. but it deserves 5 stars, i'll definetly be using it again! i added a little extra maple and decreased the confectioners sugar by almost a cup. its a very sweet frosting as written. thank you !!
The cake itself is delicious and moist, with a wonderful texture. The smell of the cake baking had my son's mouth watering. We couldn't wait any longer and iced it while it was still slightly warm. I did make a couple of small changes -- I used all butter instead of butter and shortening, and half the quantity of icing was perfect for the sheet cake version. YUM! Next time, I will add some ginger and some allspice to the batter. To those who claim the cake is dry, I suspect that you're using too much flour. Make sure to sift it thoroughly BEFORE measuring.

Influenza Policy
Dear Parent:
This memorandum serves as Hampton University Health Center's guidelines for the possible widespread infection of the influenza virus. We understand that the H1N1 influenza is not currently prevalent in our state. Unfortunately, the H1N1 pandemic had its greatest negative effect in children, young adults, and pregnant women. In response to previous influenza season's pandemic, all influenza cases should continue to be treated as novel H1N1 and precautions for its spread should be stressed.
We will continue to work closely with the Hampton Health Department to monitor flu conditions and to make decisions about the best steps to take concerning our institution, but we need your help to accomplish this. Here at our University we are attempting to limit the spread by following the recommendations of our national, state and local health departments. To prevent the spread of the virus, students on campus who become ill with the flu are expected to be removed by their parents, who will be immediately contacted so they will be treated at home. Individuals who become ill with the flu should not return to the campus community until they are free of fever for a period not less than 24 hours (Fever 100ºF/37.8ºC). This means free without temperature while not taking medication that reduces fever (Tylenol, Ibuprofen). Upon returning to the campus a note from your health care provider must be presented to the Health Center verifying that you are free of temperature (100ºF/37.8ºC) for 24 hours without medication and are symptom free. This usually requires a minimum of three to five days.
How to prevent the spread of the Influenza Virus:
- Wash your hands with soap and water after coughing, sneezing, and opening doors. Use alcohol based hand cleaner if available when you do not have soap and water.
- Cover your nose and mouth while coughing and sneezing with a tissue or in your sleeve.
- Limit the touching of your nose, eyes, and mouth when you are coughing and sneezing.
- Limit close contact with sick people as much as possible.
- Remain at home from school or work if you are sick and limit contact with others to avoid spreading the virus.
- Talk with your health care provider about the seasonal flu vaccine.
Flu Like Illness Symptoms:
- Fever
- Cough
- Sore throat
- Headache
- Chills
- Fatigue and body aches
What Should I do If I Have Symptoms?
Students who develop fever greater than 100ºF/37.8ºC should contact our Health Center at 727-5315. Students with underlying health conditions (asthma, diabetes, heart disease) should contact their health care provider if they become ill with flu-like symptoms, since the flu may be more severe in these individuals.

Middle Eastern carrier Gulf Air's Embraer 170s are to be flown by pilots from UK regional airline Flybe under a start-up pact which also includes engineering support.
Flybe, which operates the larger Embraer 195, is providing 16 pilots to Gulf Air, which recently leased two 170s for local operations.
The aircraft will also receive line support from Flybe. The UK carrier is supplying eight engineers to Gulf Air.
Flybe's initial three-month agreement with the Bahrain-based flag-carrier is similar to that through which it supported the early development of Greek operator Olympic Air, says a Flybe spokesman.
The pact includes training services as well as acceptance and delivery services for Gulf Air's Embraers.
Flybe chief executive, Jim French, says the agreement demonstrates the company's ability to provide a range of services and act as a "one-stop" aviation source.
Gulf Air is testing the potential of regional jets ahead of a possible expansion of the fleet.

Eliminate the post-swim smell of chlorine with the easy-to-use SwimSpray™ Chlorine Removal Spray.
NEW!Now you can comment & reply on customer reviews. Simply click "comment" below any review.
I can live my life and not smell like a pool!
I've been a swimmer for many years, and always lived with the fact that chlorine is pretty much my natural stench. I tried SwimSpray for the first time this morning, and the heavens parted. This stuff REALLY works. My hair is soft and shiny, I smell like lotion and soap instead of a pool, and my skin isn't dry or irritated. I wish I would have had this stuff years ago. Highly recommended.

Unbelievable! Swim Spray does everything it says it does. I teach lessons and I am in the water with no cap for at least 3 hours. It usually takes two days to get rid of the chlorine smell, and my hair never really recovers. I used it once, and no chlorine smell whatsoever. Not only that, but my skin did not itch and my hair was soft and manageable too! It worked so well I even forgot to put on lotion after the shower. That has NEVER happened.
My massage therapist who sees me sometimes after my swim session pokes fun at how he smells the chemicals on me, even when i didn't swim that day! and he is right. it stays in your pores. So I watched the video of this product, and now use it. Yes it is a small bottle, and can be a bit sour (so watch around eyes), but it's pure vit C. It works. I don't use it ev time i swim for the same reason as other reviewer: id go through the bottle very fast. Wish it was slightly less cost wise but hey, it saves my skin. it's worth it.
This is the best
Only product that I've tried that actual does what it says. It makes my hair feel normal again and my skin doesn't itch.
Avid Swimmer
This stuff WORKS!
I have tried other chlorine removal products like "swimmers shampoos" before. But I notice that I still smell like chlorine after using them in the shower. When I use SwimSpray, that lingering chlorine odor disappears. And my hair and skin feel better.It's hard to tell that the product is working when you are using it. Since the product is fragrance free and doesn't have soaps or other ingredients, it feels like I'm just spraying myself with water. But, then all the chlorine is gone. I actually like that it's so simple because I can continue to use (and smell like) my regular shampoo and soap. I would highly recommend this stuff.

Really Works
I swim in a community indoor pool and the chlorine is particularly high in the summer with all the campers and overly warm water. The effects of chlorine are gone after using SwimSpray. Love the benefit to my hair. The directions suggest up to 30 sprays - hope I don't run out too fast.
Leesburg VA
It does what it says!
My skin is very sensitive to the effects of chlorine, and so I gave this a try after hearing about it on a few swim news sites. I decided to leave a review of my own because I could not find many out there.I have to say, it really works! After I use this product as directed, I can no longer smell the chlorine. And if I follow up with a calming lotion (like Eucerin), my skin feels great and doesn't itch! The spray really does more than just soap and lotion alone by removing the chemical.The downside is that it takes a lot of pumps for me to cover my body after a swim session - and one could go through a bottle of this really quickly. To conserve money, I have decided not to use this after every single swim session. But overall, I have to say I am very happy with this product.
Wow! It really works!
Just arrived and next day I took it to the pool.I used and also handed to three swim mates to try as well. 1st person who tried said; "Wow this really works, I can tell a difference with my hair already." Second person has real short hair but suffered from dry back. He said it was working too within a couple minutes.My arms and back suffer from chlorine itch & I could feel a difference as well, and I noticed right away; my hair is no longer feels like straw, and my back didn't drive me crazy with itchiness.Alaska has a dry environment and i would often limit my swims on how badly chlorine effected my skin and hair. With this, it may no longer be a factor.

Takes too long to spray everywhere
Its a good concept but realistically I hate having to spray myself down before I swim and then even after I get out of the water, i still smell and want to take a shower. You literally have to spray your WHOLE body down for this maybe to work. Got tired of spending so much time before the swim to spray.

Dr. Andrew Chadeayne invented SwimSpray in 2010, because the chlorine from swimming pools was driving him crazy. Dr. Chadeayne has been a swimmer his entire life.Like many swimmers, Dr. Chadeayne wasn't bothered by the smell of chlorine: "I actually liked the smell, because it reminded me of swimming." However, after earning his PhD in chemistry from Cornell University he became concerned about what that chlorine smell meant: "You smell like chlorine, because you are covered in chlorine. It's like walking around covered in bleach all day. That's not good for you."
Dr. Chadeayne solved swimmers' chlorine problems by using his chemistry background. After several months of testing, Dr. Chadeayne arrived at a unique vitamin C formulation. His wife named it SwimSpray. "At first, I only shared it with my friends. But soon, we all noticed that SwimSpray was really amazing. The chlorine smell was 100% gone. Our hair felt soft. Our skin stopped itching. It was absolutely incredible - a night and day difference. That's when we realized that we should share the formula with other swimmers." Dr. Chadeayne joined up with several of his former Princeton Swimming and Diving teammates to turn his invention into a commercial product.
SwimSpray has received widespread praise, because it solves swimmers' number one problem with the sport - chlorine. "I think people just gave up on this problem," says Dr. Chadeayne, "Swimmers' shampoos have been notoriously ineffective since I was a little kid. Once folks use SwimSpray, they are shocked at the difference."

Sometimes I love museums, and sometimes they bore me to death. I'm pretty sure it mostly has to do with how recently I last ate (apparently it's a faux pas to waltz around most museums while snacking). I know they have those audio headset things that are supposed to give you a guided tour, but I don't want to be one of those people. I really like the idea of going to the museum, but it usually disappoints. I wish there was a way to liven up the experience and get more out of it. That's what Museum Hack is working on. They're a New York, NY based upstart that has developed a "tour to turn one of New York's most spectacular cultural institutions into a totally unique experience."
Right now Museum Hack is only offering tours at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City. Their "un-highlights tour puts an alternative spin on the museum, featuring other sides to the highlights we love, as well as some of the strangest, wildest, sexiest stories hidden throughout the museum." The company seems to be having a lot of success, so I hope they'll eventually expand to more museums and more cities. Their current tour is 39 bucks (plus the $25 recommended donation to get into the Met) and gets you a two hour fast paced group tour. You can find all the details on Museum Hack's FAQ, but you really should just sign up for a tour if you're in the NYC area. Museum Hack is still a very small company, so they don't have any full-time opportunities yet, but their Jobs page shows a smattering of internships, guiding positions (they've delayed these because so many people applied), and freelance opportunities. Check to see if any of these positions might interest you.

Three Simple Steps
Scan a set of expressions to train your personalized avatar for tracking.
Capture a performance with realtime feedback, and optionally improve the accuracy in a postprocessing stage.
Animate virtual avatars in faceshift and export the animation to your favorite 3D animation software, or connect to your existing animation pipeline.
- Expressions
- Gaze Tracking
- Head Pose Tracking
- Realtime Tracking
- Offline Refinement
- 30fps
Excellent tracking is the core of faceshift. We can track with high accuracy, because we learn your personalized avatar. The avatar is created from a few training expressions, and the resulting tracking is very stable, accurate and expressive. We are tracking 48 blendshape parameters, which allows us to capture even small emotions.
We also track the eye gaze and head pose, brining the characters alive. And we do all of this in realtime, giving you the possibility to adapt your acting on the fly. For the final result, we offer an offline refinement and editing stage which further increases the tracking accuracy.
- File Based
- Animation Export (fbx)
- Blendshape Curves Export
- Virtual Marker Export
- Plugin Based
- Maya
- Motion Builder
- TCP/IP streaming via open format
All excellence at tracking is useless, if it is not easy to get the results onto your own rigs, in your own workflow. There are four ways of using faceshift:
– export the animation on one of our predefined rigs or personalized avatars as a fbx file, which can be imported in every major animation software.
– work directly within your animation package with our maya or motion builder plugins.
– integrate with existing marker based pipelines. No more need to place the markers accurately on the actor, you define them once and export as bvh or c3d for every take.
– and for the real geeks we offer a TCP/IP streaming protocol which gives you access to all the tracking data in real time, allowing you to come up with your very own workflows and applications.
- Custom Avatar Creation
- Fully Rigged
- Gaze Tracking
We did not set out to make an avatar creation software, but the result is pretty cool. As a byproduct of using faceshift you get a fully rigged, expressive avatar, which you can export to use in your own applications, and which you can drive with faceshift.
And people are coming up with very creative uses for this, from sliced wooden head sculptures to surreal fashion photography.

Win Tickets to Modern Life Is War at Fubar This Friday
Press Photo Modern Life Is War returns to St. Louis this week.
Fans of hardcore in the mid-aughts might remember Modern Life Is War. The band was perpetually on tour, writing and recording albums until its split in 2008. Being from Marshalltown, Iowa, MLIW treated our city like a second home and played here with the frequency of a local band.
After re-forming early last year, MLIW cut its fourth studio record, Fever Hunting, and followed with a few one-off concerts. Luckily for us, the band is stopping by Fubar this Friday as part of a short jaunt through the Midwest.

Bill Belichick on "putting the tape on"
That Latin phrase expresses the same basic idea as the "first cause" argument I brought up earlier. However if we -- meaning the universe -- has a cause, then that cause must also have a cause, and that one a cause, all the way back to infinity. "God" cannot be that cause because God must also have a cause. It's why the Anthropic Principle is so useful. Even if it's impossible to get something from nothing... we're here. Therefore it must have been possible anyway.

Join the Willamette Rowing Team - No Experience Necessary
The University of Willamette men's & women's rowing teams will hold an informational meeting for 2005 turnout on Wednesday, Sept 7th at 7:30 p.m. in the Sparks Athletic Center.
The meeting is open to all students, no experience necessary. Look for signs at the main entrance.
For more information please contact rowing coach Rodney Mott at 503 370-6655 or email at email@example.com
Things to know about Bearcat rowing...
Can I join the rowing team if I have never rowed before?
While you do need to be athletic and fit, you do not need to have any prior rowing experience. We will teach you everything you need to know to be a competitive collegiate rower. If you have been thinking about playing sports in college, this could be the opportunity for you!
What is rowing like at the University of Willamette?
The Men's & Women's Rowing Teams are a competitive varsity sport at the University of Willamette. There is a staff of 4 coaches for a team of about 60+ athletes. The team trains for about 15 hours per week. During the fall, you will learn to row, lift weights and train on land (mainly running and body circuits). You will race at the end of the fall semester against other first time collegiate rowers from all over the Northwest. The main racing season is from March to May. During this time, the team travels throughout the Northwest, select crews will travel as far as the East coast and compete against a wide variety of crews throughout the Nation.
What is the difference between a rower and a coxswain?
A coxswain (pronounced "cox-in") is the team leader and strategist. They typically weigh less than 130 lbs, be competitive, quick thinking and have fully developed leadership skills. The coxswain is the brain behind the brawn.
Rowers are generally tall (there are always exceptions) and most will have previous athletic experience (although not necessarily in rowing.) Athletes who have excelled in soccer, swimming, basketball or track usually enjoy and do well in the sport of rowing. Desire and a strong work ethic are characteristics of strong rowers and coxswains.
What kind of athletes are we looking for?
The University of Willamette Rowing Team is seeking individuals who are interested in doing something new, fun and challenging. We are in search of enthusiastic team players who are excited to compete at the collegiate championship level.
What is the practice schedule?
Practice times for the fall will be afternoons from 4 - 6 PM. Please attempt to schedule your classes and work schedules around the practice times.
What do I do next if I know I want to join the team?
Our first information meeting will be held on Wednesday, September 7th at 7:30 p.m. in the Sparks Athletic Center. Look for signs at the main entrance. This meeting is mandatory for anyone interested in rowing. A physical is also required (medical forms can be found & downloaded on the athletics website). Until then, have an active and enjoyable summer. Running, basketball, swimming, cycling, aerobics and weightlifting are all activities that can help get you in shape for the coming year!
This is your chance to become involved in a new sport where your potential is infinite and the only limits for success are the ones that you set for yourself. All of the coaches look forward to seeing you at the first meeting!

I do think it'll we depend on Laurence's American dream if it works they'll be no more if it doesn't the show will be back January 2015
The preview for next week does say something about as they solve the case both Hathaway and Lewis face life changing decisions.
The fact it says FACE rather than MAKE does - from that, anyway, suggest it's one of those where they might sort of end the programme with the question hanging in the air as to what they might do - if you see what I mean!
Like when someone says, "So are you gonna do that?" and the camera goes on the face of the person asked .... and then it ends before they speak! lol
It mentions in the review that Hathaway resorts to prayer next week so maybe his decision is to toy with going back to the church!
As to Laurence going to America, I've read about that and every time it mentions that they are going now because his two sons aren't at school yet, so that's why they're going now. Which just from that suggests they aren't planning on going long term anyway, whatever happens.
It would be a shame if this was the absolute end of Lewis. Morse went on for so long, it feels like Lewis has lasted no time by conmparison.

Exotic dancer Kayela McClintick gives state custody of kids
McClintick accused of starving girls, ages 2 and 6
SAN ANTONIO - An exotic dancer facing injury to a child charges has agreed to allow the state to retain temporary custody of her two daughters, ages 2 and 6.
At a hearing on Tuesday in which Child Protective Services was seeking a court order granting temporary custody of the children neared an end, Kayela McClintick agreed to allow her children to remain in state custody.
The children were placed in temporary custody last month after investigators found them in their home suffering from malnutrition and dehydration.
McClintick, her live-in boyfriend, Jeremiah Coleman, 29, and a babysitter were later arrested and charged with injury to a child and indecency with a child.
The three are free on bond awaiting trial.
During Tuesday's custody hearing, Charles Paul, an investigator for Child Protective Services, said the 6-year-old child told him her mother "sometimes forgets to feed me."
Paul said the child also told him of inappropriate sexual conduct at the home.
"She told me that her mother is a stripper and that her mother puts on a bikini and puts her butt in the air and men throw money at her," Paul testified.
Following the hearing, McClintick said those statements were "all false allegations, all false reports. I don't think it's right that two wonderful parents should lose their kids like this."
The next hearing in the case is set for Sept. 5.
The children have been placed in temporary foster care.

East Carolina had never beaten North Carolina and N.C. State in the same season until the Pirates clinched an instate sweep of the Tar Heels and Wolfpack last Saturday with a 42-28 win in Raleigh.
The taste of victory then was as sweet for East Carolina as the 55-31 drubbing of North Carolina in late September. But the celebration in Carter-Finley Stadium was short-lived.
"It definitely means a good bit," running back Vintavious Cooper said following the game. "I know it probably means a lot more to the fans. But at the same time, we have bigger fish to fry than Carolina and N.C. State."
Cooper and the Pirates (9-2, 6-1) play for an East Division title Friday (noon, CBS Sports Network) at Marshall (8-3, 6-1) with a berth in the Conference USA championship game on the line. East Carolina would host the title game next week with a win Friday.
East Carolina is searching for its first 10-win season in 22 years and is assured of its seventh bowl appearance in the last eight seasons.
The Pirates lead the series against Marshall 10-4 with each of the four losses coming away from Greenville. The last two meetings have gone to overtime with the Thundering Herd winning in 2011 and East Carolina claiming a 65-59 double-overtime victory last season.
The 24-hour rule was not in effect for East Carolina following the win at N.C. State.
"It was more like eight or 12 hours as we had to dive into Marshall pretty quickly to get the game plan going," East Carolina head coach Ruffin McNeill said Monday in his weekly press conference. "After the game Saturday, they were pretty happy to win, but they also knew that we have another game coming up that has a lot of significance to it. The way they handled that after the game was expected, but great to see as well."
East Carolina junior wideout Justin Hardy leads C-USA with 95 catches and 1,130 receiving yards and Cooper is the fifth-best rusher in the league with 902 yards and nine touchdowns. They're vital components in an offense that ranks second in the conference behind Marshall in total yards.
But the featured attraction in this matchup is between quarterbacks Shane Carden of East Carolina and Marshall's Rakeem Cato. The juniors are tied for third among all Division I FBS players with 32 touchdown passes.
Carden has thrown for 533 more yards this season than Cato, the offensive player of the year in C-USA last season. The Herd quarterback has 181 more rushing yards, but five fewer rushing touchdowns than the East Carolina signal caller.
"He's a little bit like Cato," fourth-year Marshall head coach Doc Holliday said of Carden Monday in his weekly press conference. "When he gets out on the perimeter his head doesn't go down, his eyes go up. He makes plays when kids shouldn't make plays. When plays break down into a scramble situation is when Carden is at his best. Both of these quarterbacks are the heart and soul for the offense."
Marshall has the edge in productive backfields with four players boasting 400 or more rushing yards. Cooper is the only back for the Pirates with more than 400 yards on the ground.
Each team is among the leaders in C-USA defense.
First-year defensive coordinator Rick Smith has led the resurgence of an East Carolina defense that was subpar in McNeill's first three seasons as head coach.
The Pirates have recorded a takeaway in all but one game this season and rank second in C-USA total defense, one spot above Marshall.
East Carolina is welcoming back junior nose tackle Terry Williams, a former starter that had been suspended since Sept. 24 for violating a team rule.
The Pirates will join the American Athletic Conference next season. They haven't appeared in the C-USA championship game since 2009, also the last year the Bucs claimed a win in Huntington, W.Va.
"It's a great challenge and an exciting time," said McNeill. "In coaching, you look forward to this opportunity and both teams have worked their way into this position."
"We can't control anything that Marshall does," McNeill added. "But we can control what we do and how we work and this group understands that."

(THE DAILY CALLER)If one well-known Pakistani politician gets his way, international law will forbid "anti-Islam" material from the Internet.

He followed it up with a response to fellow tweeter Kanwal Zahra Zaidi (@KanwalZaidi), noting that the "Anti Islam element must stop hurting Muslims."

We derive the optimal portfolio choice and consumption pattern over the lifecycle for households facing labor income, capital market, and mortality risk. In addition to stocks and bonds, households also have access to deferred annuities. Deferred annuities offer a hedge against mortality risk and provide similar benefits as Social Security. We show that a considerable fraction of wealth should be annuitized to skim the return enhancing mortality credit. The remaining liquid wealth (stocks and bonds) is used to hedge labor income risk during work life and to earn the equity premium. We find a marginal difference between a strategy involving deferred annuities and one where the investor can purchase immediate life annuities.

McAuley's Clement wins Gatorade Award
PORTLAND—Catherine McAuley High School junior Allie Clement was named the Maine Gatorade girls' basketball Player of the Year Thursday, capping another transcendent season for the accomplished standout.
Clement, a 5-foot-8 junior guard, was presented the award during a school assembly. Her parents, Brian and Carolyn, sister Sarah, a McAuley freshman, and sister Camille were in attendance, along with Lions head coach Billy Goodman and assistant coach Bill Whitmore.
"I hadn't heard of a junior winning," said Clement. "I didn't think it would be me. It was a surprise. I was really happy."
Clement averaged 18.1 points, 4.6 rebounds, 2.9 steals and 2.5 assists while shooting at 56 percent this winter.
She's won a Class A state title in each of her three high school seasons and has a sparkling record of 64-2. Clement was named the Western A tournament's "Red" McMann winner as the top player/sportsperson.
Clement joins former McAuley standouts Sarah Marshall and Ashley Cimino as Gatorade winners.
"It's cool to be in a category with the other girls who have won," Clement said. It's an honor."
"Allie is simply the best around," said McAuley coach Billy Goodman. "She played all season on one leg and was still very, very good."
Clement has gotten plenty of attention from colleges and is still weighing her options for the next level.

There are five stages of Breast Cancer. Stage 0 is called nonivasive carcinoma. Stage I is when the tumor is no more than 2 cm across and has not spread past the breast. Stage II has three conditions that could apply: the cancer has spread to the lymph nodes under the arm and is 2cm across or the tumor has not spread to the lymph nodes but is 2-5 cm or the tumor has not spread to the lymph nodes under the arm but is larger than 5cm. Stage III is known as locally advanced and in this stage the tumor is more than 5cm across in the breast and has spread to the underarm lymph nodes or has spread to other lymph nodes or tissues near the breast. Stage IV is also known as Metastasized Cancer. Here the cancer has spread to other parts of the body from the breast.
"Have you got your pathology report yet?"As a woman newly diagnosed with breast cancer, it seems that everything hinges on this all-important document. Will you have chemo? Is a lumpectomy "good enough?" And how about those hormone drugs: yes, or no? Here's an example of what your pathology report might look like. Your…

Mike Doughty performs in The Current studio
Mike Doughty began his music career as frontman for the band Soul Coughing in 1992. In 2008 Mike Doughty is back with a brand new album entitled, "Golden Delicious" and sounding better than ever.
The Bird and the Bee perform live in The Current studios
What started as a side project for two friends to collaborate and just have fun has become quite a bit more. In just over a year since their last stop by our studios Inara George and Greg Kursten have released a full length an Ep and they're just about to release another EP next month.
The Owls perform in The Current studio
"Finally" is quite often the first word that comes to mind when people hear that local indie-poppers The Owls are finally releasing a full-length album. Their follow-up to 2004's "Our Hopes And Dreams" EP, "Daughters and Suns" continues to be loaded with male-female vocal harmonies and catchy melodies.
Rogue Wave perform in The Current studios
What's the best thing to do when you find yourself unemployed? Well, go to New York City, do some recording, head back to San Francisco, ditch your solo project, and form your own indie-rock band. That's exactly what Zach Rogue did when he left his solo project, Desoto Reds, to form Rogue Wave at the end of 2002.
Matt Pond PA performs in the Current studio
It's been just under a year since Matt Pond PA stopped by the station the first time. In that time the lineup has changed a bit and they've released both the If You Want Blood EP and the Last Light full length album, which show's Matt's reverence for those who are English, like Pulp and Blur.

Not so very long ago, Natasha Kahn began having very vivid dreams. When she awoke one morning she asked herself who wrote the song she heard in her dream? She realized she had written the entire song in her sleep. She continued to apply the things she was dreaming, layering both delicate and bombastic elements together to create the album Fur And Gold.
The Weakerthans perform in the Current studio
The Winnepeg band The Weakerthans are celebrating ten years together with the release of their fourth album, Reunion Tour. The band seldom play acoustic sets in public, but we were treated to one of these rare performances when the band dropped by for an in-studio session prior to the their show with Last Town Chorus.
Ani DiFranco walks the righteous road
Even with a successful music career, thriving record label, and a new baby, the acoustic folk songstress Ani DiFranco continues to tour non-stop.
Ben Lee performs in the Current studio
Much to his own surprise, more and more people are being exposed to Ben Lee's music. On the eve of the release of sixth solo effort, Ripe, the former Noise Addict stopped by on "day one" of a very brief, five-city promotional tour.
Patti Smith performs in the Current studio
Poet; artist; punk rocker; activist and mother. These are all words we use to describe the legendary Patti Smith.
Dappled Cities perform in the Current studio
Their new album Granddance was released stateside less than two months ago, and it's garnering raves all through the indie media. The album was produced by Jim Fairchild and during their interview they talked about their friendship with him and how the title of their album is an homage to his former band, Grandaddy.
Jesca Hoop performs in the Current studio
It wasn't all that long ago that Jesca Hoop left her Mormon family behind and set off on her own to pursue her musical career.
Dan Deacon performs live in the Current studio
Dan Deacon has been getting a lot of attention lately. The Baltimore City paper has named him Best Solo Performer for the past two years. Pitchfork gave the new album, Spiderman Of The Rings, an 8.7 and named the album the Best New Music of May.
The Boggs perform in the Current studio
The word "musical collective" gets thrown around quite a bit these days, but this Brooklyn-based outfit really fits the bill. The only current band member who played on the new album Forts was the band's founder, Jason Friedman. Over the years members of the bands Enon, Liars, Au Revoir Simone, and others have rotated in and out of the band. The current line-up is a five-piece, including two drummers.
Ryan Adams in the Current studio
Ryan Adams gets a bad rap. It's been years since the well publicized "Summer of '69" on-stage meltdown and the famous voice mail rant. He's been referred to as "difficult" by many.

End Notes
By Megan McDermott
Sociologist and best-selling author James Loewen has a habit of turning common knowledge on its head. His most popular book, Lies My Teacher Told Me: Everything Your American History Textbook Got Wrong, exposes supposed facts as mere oft-told fables and shines light on the truths, too often glossed over to maintain biased, bland historical narratives.
I was assigned the book for Advanced Placement U.S. History the summer before my senior year of high school. Not all the facts or falsehoods stuck with me, but Loewen's desire to overhaul the teaching of history did. He wanted students investigating, interpreting, discovering; history wasn't something he wanted students to memorize, but rather, do.
Familiarity with Loewen's book led me to hear him at Susquehanna's Alain Leroy Locke Lecture in November, sponsored by the Center for Diversity and Social Justice. Loewen's speech packed Faylor Hall. His topic, titled The Most Important Era in American History You Never Heard of, and Why It's So Important, covered the nadir of race relations from 1890 to 1940, a time of the Ku Klux Klan, lynching and construction of Confederate monuments.
Loewen claimed that the Neo-Confederates won the Civil War during this time. His lecture proved that ideological victory can be even more powerful than a militaristic one. Sundown towns, all-white towns that barred minorities after dark, embodied this terrifying power. In one of the most chilling examples, Tulsa, Okla., attempted to drive out its black population by having airplanes drop dynamite on black communities in 1921. Loewen found 504 sundown towns just in his home state of Illinois. To this day, sundown towns are impacted by their history and severely lack diversity.
Though Loewen's research appears extensive, he requires more if he hopes to pinpoint all the sundown towns across the country. He encouraged the audience to find sundown towns on their own and aid with their recovery. Loewen's three-step plan for such towns—admit, apologize and never repeat— sounds simple enough, but the task itself is intimidating. What I am quick to dismiss as impossible, Loewen viewed as something all audience members, including me, were capable of accomplishing.
During the Q & A session, he lamented the failings of history education, saying, "We're teaching twigs." The implication was that we need to move beyond glancing at twigs and get our hands dirty shaping the historical landscape.
Overall, the passion and philosophy of Lies My Teacher Told Me were personified in its author. And perhaps that personhood points to a major difference between college and high school. In high school, I read this man's words. He was another book, a summer assignment. But in college, he stood in front of me. He was a person, a vibrant being with a lot to say to his audience and just as much to ask of them.
My freshman year at Susquehanna confronts me with the same proposition Loewen did in his lecture: do more.
In high school I created a portfolio of short stories and poems with the help of a great teacher. In college, my Introduction to Fiction class with Professor of English and Creative Writing Tom Bailey required me to push my fiction to the next level, to re-haul and rethink rather than merely revise, and to write pieces of more complexity and substance. In high school history classes, analyzing primary documents was expected and practiced. Such analysis became even more essential when taking Latin America, 1492–1825, here at Susquehanna. In this class, I was held to a higher standard of depth, insight and intelligence. High school journalism courses provided interviewing and writing experience, but my assistantship working for Susquehanna Currents has made me more disciplined in improving these skills. Even student activities I've joined ask me to step up my game. For instance, InterVarsity Christian Fellowship and Lutheran Student Movement challenge me to grow in my faith.
Just as history shouldn't be sugarcoated and simplified, neither should any aspect of college life, academic or otherwise. This year is a year of peeling away any leftover sugary layers. This year is a year of being asked to do more. And hopefully, this year is a year of my meeting that challenge—though I'm not promising any historical discoveries just yet.
Megan McDermott is a first-year creative writing major from Lewisberry, Pa., and a contributing writer to Susquehanna Currents magazine.

Andrea Caracciolo is unlikely to remain with Brescia after their relegation to Serie B, says his agent.
Caracciolo is arguably the club's most valuable player, but there seems little chance that he will remain at the Stadio Rigamonti.
"That hypothesis would be very difficult to realise," the Italian international's agent Andrea D'Amico stated.
"The situation regarding Caracciolo is evolving. Andrea has many offers, some even from as far as Russia. We are evaluating all of them.
The former Perugia and Sampdoria player has been associated with a move to Serie A side Napoli recently. Bologna could also be interested.

30 Sumptuous Salads
Mexican Citrus Salad with Avocado [1]
It's not just a salad—it's a crunchy, juicy, sweet, salty, tart, buttery, nutty potluck dazzler.
Roasted Kale, Tomato and Chickpea Salad with Wheat Berries [5]
Our hearty salad tastes equally good warm from the pan, cold from the fridge or even at room temperature, so it's perfect for make-ahead meals and leftover lunches. Other grains, such as barley, faro or wild rice, also work well in this salad.
Roasted Kale, Tomato and Chickpea Salad with Wheat Berries [6]
Herbed Lamb Meatball Salad [9]
The red pepper dressing is a revelation, well worth making for any lettuce salad. You can use beef instead of lamb if you like.
Roasted Pork and Beet Salad [13]
Heart-healthy walnuts and lean pork tenderloin make this dinner salad as nutritious as it is colorful. You can pop a package of whole-grain take-and-bake rolls in the oven after you remove the pork. By the time you've assembled the salad, the rolls will be ready.
Sweet and Spicy Steak Salad [17]
Sirloin strips marinated in raspberry-chipotle vinaigrette get caramelized edges on the grill. Pile skewers on mixed greens with goat cheese and veggies, then pass the tongs and dressing.
Spiced Pecan Apple Salad [21]
Pecans, feta cheese, a Red Delicious apple and zesty vinaigrette combine for a memorable salad. "This recipe comes to us courtesy of the Junior League of Chicago. It is from their cookbook, Celebrate Chicago! A Taste of Our Town," says Patty Erd, co-owner the Spice House in Chicago.
Wheat Berry Waldorf Salad [25]
Apples, dried cranberries and grapes meet crunchy celery and wheat berries in this colorful salad tossed with apple-cinnamon dressing.
Winter Pear Salad [29]
The recipe for this simple side salad of yellow tomatoes, tangy cheese, walnuts and greens with Dijon vinaigrette comes from a Des Plaines, Illinois, restaurant.
Winter Pear Salad [30]
Chicken-Romaine Salad [33]
Dried berries give a burst of fruit flavor to this easy recipe that starts with rotisserie chicken.
Italian Rice Salad [37]
Italian Rice Salad includes fragrant, nutty-tasting brown basmati rice, bell peppers in a variety of colors, red onions and plenty of garlic. "It's kind of soft, kind of crunchy, a little sweet and a little tangy," says Ohio cooking school expert Bev Schaffer, who gave us the recipe.
Italian Rice Salad [38]
Midwest-Style Cobb Salad [41]
We gave this Cobb salad a Heartland twist, with steak instead of the usual chicken. Maytag blue cheese stands in for traditional Roquefort. Use cantaloupe for the avocado.
Savory Cabbage Salad [45]
A refreshing ginger vinaigrette seasons this salad with Asian-style ingredients. The uncooked noodles soften some while chilling, but still add crunch.
Savory Cabbage Salad [46]
Wilted Spinach Salad with Hot Bacon Dressing [49]
This recipe, from Cheli's Chili Bar in Dearborn, Michigan, dresses up a classic side-dish wilted salad. "I really enjoyed the addition of fresh mushrooms and hard-boiled eggs," notes a reviewer on our website. "I could easily make a meal of this."
Apple and Couscous-Bulgur Salad [53]
Apple cider and lemon juice add a touch of pucker that keeps this hearty grain salad from tasting too sweet. For a nutritional boost, use whole wheat couscous.
Duck and Asian Pear Salad [57]
This elegant salad features Napa cabbage, pecan-coated goat cheese, duck and winter pears with honey-peach dressing.
Harvest Root Vegetable Salad [61]
Five root vegetables pack this side salad; fresh beets unite them all with a rosy tint. Tarragon vinaigrette adds sweet-sour flavor.
Pancetta-Feta Red Cabbage [65]
Pancetta (an ultrathin Italian bacon) bumps up the flavor in this multicolored veggie side dish.
New Ham and Rice Salad [69]
The traditional ham and pea salad gets an update with wild rice and a dried tomato vinaigrette.
Warm Asparagus Salad [73]
This warm vegetable salad boasts a flavorful blend of goat cheese, dates, pecans and asparagus tossed with balsamic vinaigrette.
Warm Asparagus Salad [74]
Harvest Salad with Walnut Oil Vinaigrette [77]
Walnut oil adds a nutty flavor to vinaigrette on this colorful salad from Clabber Girl Bake Shop in Terre Haute, Indiana. Add cooked chicken for a quick main dish.
Butternut Squash and Apple Salad [81]
Sweet squash and apple pair with sharp Gorgonzola and tangy dressing in this autumn salad from Black Star Farm in Suttons Bay, Michigan. The dressing calls for verjus, a tart pressed grape juice. You can order verjust online or find it as specialty stores, but wine vinegar makes a good substitute.
Asian-Style Vinaigrette [85]
Toss this light soy-ginger dressing with a bag of slaw mix and roasted peanuts for a nutritious side dish on stir-fry night. The recipe uses canola oil and sesame oil, which are both good choices as part of a balanced diet.
Cranberry Cashew Salad [89]
Sliced apples, roasted cashews and dried fruit combine with mango chutney, spinach leaves and curry for an exotic, fresh-tasting salad. The recipe comes from the New Albany (Ohio) Cooking with Friends community cookbook.
Little Traveler's Chopped Salad [93]
Bacon and French-fried onions punch up the flavor in this crunchy, fresh-tasting, main-dish salad from Little Traveler, a gift shop-cafe in Geneva, Illinois.
Herbed Winter Salad [97]
Roasting intensifies the flavor of roma tomatoes for this herb-splashed salad. Mushrooms, grapes and walnuts round out the flavors.
Herbed Winter Salad [98]
BLT Salad [101]
Shad Kirton, award-winning chef and co-owner of Absolute Flavors Catering/Smokey D's BBQ in Des Moines, created this salad based on the classic sandwich.
BLT Salad [102]
Berry-Balsamic Vinaigrette [105]
The sweet tang of this rosy dressing pairs nicely with nuts, cheese, avocado or grilled chicken breast in a mixed green salad. A full 2 cups of strawberries boost the dressing's vitamin C and fiber; the olive oil is high in omega-3 fatty acids, a healthy fat that fights inflammation and protects against heart disease.
Winter Orange Salad [109]
Croutons made from walnuts or pecans infuse nutty flavor into this tossed salad, with oranges and dried cranberries. Nut producers Barb and Dwight Ittner of Noel, Missouri, created the recipe.
Winter Orange Salad [110]
Broccoli Grape Salad [113]
Salty bacon flavors juicy grapes and crunchy broccoli. The side-dish saladrecipe comes from the Triangle Ranch B&B in South Dakota.
Broccoli Grape Salad [114]
Fennel Apple Salad [117]
Tangy Granny Smith apples combine with radicchio and fennel in this refreshing side-dish salad. Mustard and citrus flavor the dressing.
Fennel Apple Salad [118]
Asian Coleslaw [121]
Toss red and green cabbage, chopped apple and green onions with a ginger-spiced dressing for a crunchy salad. Sesame oil and rice vinegar add Asian flavor.
Asian Coleslaw [122]
Costa Rican Hearts of Palm Salad [125]
Mix avocado, papaya and olives with hearts of palm for an exotic, colorful salad. Hearts of palm look like white asparagus without the tips and taste like artichoke.
Roasted Pear and Clementine Salad [129]
This beauty of a salad blends tangy Gorgonzola and balsamic dressing with sweet roasted fruit.
Persimmon, Blood Orange and Pomegranate Salad [133]
It takes time to peel and section or slice fruit for this salad, but the result is a colorful burst of fresh flavor that's worth the effort. To save time, use 2-3 cups jarred, drained, sectioned citrus fruit in place of the four oranges.

On Tuesday, July 20 SeaWorld transported 19 endangered green and Kemp's Ridley sea turtles to the park's rehabilitation facility for health issues directly related to the oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico.
SeaWorld's Turtle Rescue Team transported the turtles from Gulf World Marine Park in Panama City Beach, Fla. where the animal and veterinarian staff have been working to clean and de-oil the animals.
They are in stable condition but require extensive treatment before their eventual return to the wild. SeaWorld veterinarians examined the animals upon arrival at SeaWorld's Rescue & Rehabilitation Center.
This is the second wave of oil-impacted turtles SeaWorld has received in the past few weeks. Twelve Kemp's Ridley sea turtles arrived from Gulfport, Mississippi when a facility there needed to make room for oiled animals. SeaWorld aquarists returned five of them to waters off southwest Florida on July 8 and four more have been cleared for release.
SeaWorld is one of the few organizations with the expertise to tend to the special needs of multiple sea turtle species including both greens and Kemp's Ridley.
The park is a global leader in the rescue and rehabilitation of sea turtles. The park's Animal Rescue & Rehabilitation Team is in on call 365 days a year, 24 hours a day.

It's wonderful to hear how your "Family Revised" is being blessed. And have a great time at the sleepover!ReplyDelete
I would definitely listen to your instincts.ReplyDelete
Sounds like your home schooling is showing rewards in your family. Very sweet.
Terry, the thing is...I'm not invited. This independence thing is really being pushed.ReplyDelete
We've made a similar decision regarding my son's travel sports team in that if one of us cannot attend, then neither does he. There is always someone willing to take him, but as you said, we're his protectors right now.ReplyDelete
I've also appreciated the same rewards you mentioned for homeschooling--the age gaps decrease, genuine playmates, and a curiosity for learning. Great gifts, indeed.

BIG NO-NO TO GIVE HER OVER TO STRANGERS OVERNIGHT.ReplyDelete
I agree- go with your gut. Most abuse happens to kids who are with people they know and trust.
This is a secular organization, and since you won't be there, you will not know all of what happens, what she will be exposed to...err on the side of caution.
By the by, those are truly wonderful things to have happening to knit your family together. Blessing indeed!!
I don't know if it's too late to comment on this or not...ReplyDelete
I remember a mother of older children telling me that they
went with their gut on things like that. They told their kids something like this: "I'm sorry but Mom and Dad have a bad feeling about this and you're just going to have to trust us on it; even if you don't understand. We are responsible to care for you and we don't feel right about it."
If you ignore your "gut" and let her go and something bad happens...you'll always regret it. :)
The other saying, "whoever you let watch your kids is who is 'parenting' them at the moment" comes to mind.
If you don't know/trust them I would say no too.
You sound like a wise Mommy! Many blessings to you!
I don't get to talk to a lot of actual grown-ups during the day, so your comments make me really happy! :)
