A Borger High teacher has received one of the highest honors in the Borger Independent School District.
Elizabeth Hernandez-Forrest was named as the recipient of the Root/Gillespie Foundation Award for 2011. She has been teaching in Borger ISD for eleven years. Five of these years were at Borger Middle School and the past six have been at BHS.
The family of Velma Freeman Gillespie established the Velma Freeman Gillespie and Zelma Freeman Root Foundation to honor a deserving teacher at the end of each school term. Gillespie and Root were twin sisters who taught in BISD, each for over 25 years.
The award is given to a deserving teacher in the academic field who possesses the following:
•A concern for students and the capability to inspire them
•The ability and willingness to work cooperatively with colleagues
•A drive to initiate activities that improve instruction for students
•An ability to work effectively with different groups in the community
•The desire to stay informed of current educational theories and practices
•An ability and willingness to make meaningful contributions in education
•Examples of innovations started in the nominees' classroom
Hernandez-Forrest was nominated by a committee within BHS. According to her nomination form, she has been a valuable asset to BISD for her entire teaching career.
She was raised in Borger and said that her dream of first going to college and then pursuing teaching was cultivated by her Borger High teacher Mrs. Neas. She came to Borger as a sophomore and was raised in a migrant farm working family who traveled to the states of Wyoming and Washington each spring and summer. Graduating from college and and becoming a teacher was a lifelong dream of hers.
Nominating Hernandez-Forrest was something the BHS committee wanted to do early on due to her major contributions both in and out of the classroom.
Her philosophy on teaching is "to inspire, to challenge, and to direct students and colleagues in language acquisition, language methodology, and culture. To teach in ways that cause students to open their eyes and minds to multicultural and multilingual aspects of our world and to show how foreign language is vital in our global economy and society."
She is described as someone who has a concern for students and the capability to inspire them. She has taught bilingual readying, bilingual English, bilingual math, E.S.L. and Spanish I, II, III, and IV.
Her background as a migrant farm worker as well as her training as a bilingual and ESL teacher gives her insight and sensitivity to the needs of her students, both as minority students, but also as economically disadvantaged students, according to the nominating committee.
"She uses phone calls, home visits, and email to stay in contact with her students and her families," the committee said. "The students KNOW beyond a shadow of a doubt that she cares. She makes it a point to attend at least one event of every sport that her students are involved in. With usually 150 students in her classes this is quite a challenge! But she does it because she wants them to know that she cares about their outside interests."
This past year, Hernandez-Forrest had students who were not living at home and were estranged from their parents. She went beyond what was normally required as an educator to keep the parents informed of the students' progress as well as encouraging the students to try to reconcile with their parents.
"Mrs. Forrest shows that teaching many times goes beyond the subject area," the committee said.
She was also nominated for her ability to work cooperatively with colleagues, and is described as having a personality that shows that she can and is willing to see other people's perspectives as well as being open to suggestions and opinions.
"She is helpful, hardworking, and encouraging on every committee she serves on," the committee said.
Hernandez-Forrest is a member of the attendance committee, LPAC committee, TELPAS committee, campus improvement committee, and is the Spanish Department representative.
"The past five years, she has taken her mentoring of new Spanish teachers very seriously and goes beyond and above to help them succeed," the committee said. "She has also helped the past three E.S.L. teachers both at Borger High and Borger Middle School with lessons, activities, resources, and most importantly, her time. She is always willing to help her fellow teachers, which is a great trait in a professional teacher!"
Another quality highlighted in Hernandez-Forrest's nomination application is her drive to initiate activities that improve instruction for students. Over the past five years, she has spearheaded the effort to collaborate and teach across the curriculum in regards to foreign language instruction.
She meets continually with all the other teachers in the foreign language department to keep instruction on level and to assist with any problem areas in order that instruction can be continually improving.
"She used word walls before they were in vogue, as well as using realia, special speakers, and numerous hands-on projects to make her subject area come alive to her students," the committee said.
Also highlighted in her nomination application was Hernandez-Forrest's ability to work effectively with different groups in the community. She works with the elementary schools to cultivate appreciation of Cinco de Mayo. She spearheaded a piñata event where her Spanish students make 30+ piñatas for elementary classrooms as well as helping them with various games and events on that day.
Hernandez-Forrest also works with West Texas A&M University to take students to the Annual Foreign Language Fair, giving them exposure to college opportunities as well as ideas for fields where foreign language is an asset.
She also helps Frank Phillips College by having Hispanic students and their families come by their classroom so she can help them fill out their FAFSAs. She attends all parent meetings at Borger High in order to serve as translator for Spanish speaking parents.
Hernandez-Forrest has been hugely involved in First Baptist Church of Borger's Adopt-a-Student Program where families adopt FPC students by being a "home away from home" for them while they are students at FPC. She also has taught a Sunday school class for the college ministry at FBC.
She teaches Spanish classes to teachers during her summers as well as to groups of individuals who are traveling to Spanish-speaking countries on mission trips.
Hernandez-Forrest was also nominated for her ability to stay informed of current educational theories and practices. Each year, she attends the annual Foreign Language Training offered through Region 17, the Foreign Language Collaborative at South Plains College).
She also attends the Advanced Placement conferences in order to stay in tune with the teaching practices of preAP and AP classes, and stays in contact with fellow Spanish teachers in the surrounding areas such as Pampa, White Deer, and Canyon in order to grow and learn as an educator.
Another quality highlighted in Hernandez-Forrest's nomination application is her ability and willingness to make meaningful contributions to education. She has been a mentor teacher to both E.S.L. and Spanish teachers for the past ten years. She also served as a presenter for the breakout groups at last year's inservice.
She is known for being invaluable as a resource person for the district in regards to translating at meetings and translating documents for the districts. She planned and sponsored a group of 29 Spanish/French students and teachers to Spain and France this past summer with the goal of helping students connect their learning to real life.
Hernandez-Forrest was also nominated for her examples of innovation used in the classroom. Such examples are as follows:
•Using math in the foreign language classroom (cross curriculum - students have to formulate their own math word problems in Spanish when learning numbers in Spanish)
•Using health concepts in the foreign language classroom (teaching the food pyramid when students are learning food items in Spanish)
•Using geography in the foreign language classroom (students have to place and tell position of countries when learning directions in Spanish)
•Using Texas events and dates in the foreign language classroom (piñatas, Cinco de Mayo, Día de Los Muertos)
More on the Root/Gillespie Foundation: Root came to Borger in 1944. Gillespie came to visit her from Arkansas in 1946 and never went back. Gillespie taught in Borger Junior High for 25 years, with Root teaching at BHS for 26 years. Both retired in 1971. After retiring from BISD, Root taught at FPC for five years. Gillespie had two sons, Dr. Hamp Gillespie and Dr. Mike Gillespie, who both graduated from Borger Independent School District. After Gillespie passed away in October of 1994, her sons wanted to honor their mother and aunt by establishing the foundation.

The Core-21 Curriculum
Our core curriculum is future-oriented — it embodies the intellectual legacy of the past, yet its chief aim is to prepare students to meet the challenges of the 21st century.
Core-21 is designed to instill the habits of mind that are necessary for students to become lifelong, independent learners and responsible world citizens who can adapt to, create and change the society of the future.
CLU's core curriculum is designed to prepare students for the 21st century by enabling them:
- To become proficient in analytical and critical thinking and to be able to process, transform and communicate information;
- To be able to comprehend issues from a variety of perspectives and to understand how different academic disciplines ask questions about the world;
- To understand themselves as both heirs and creators of history; to understand the forces that have shaped their cultural heritage and appreciate the diversity of values and viewpoints in the United States and the world;
- To be able to integrate information and moral reflection in order to develop creative solutions to new problems.
Core-21 (General Education) Requirements
Requirements are subject to change. Consult the schedule of classes for each semester to determine which courses satisfy current Core-21 requirements. View CLU courses which satisfy each Core requirement.
1. Proficiencies
Since these are competency and not course requirements, students who satisfy these requirements through examination will not receive course credit.

- One Writing Intensive course - must be upper division.
Foreign Language:
Proficiency at the second semester level. (Note: for Greek, the requirement is met with Greek 326; for Hebrew, the requirement is met with Hebrew 316).

The foreign language requirement may be satisfied using American sign language.

2. Perspectives
The Humanities
- History - one course.

Two courses in different disciplines selected from specifically approved cultural anthropology, criminal justice, economics, cultural geography, political science, psychology, sociology courses.
Natural Sciences
Two courses, both with lab components: physical anthropology, astronomy, biology, chemistry, physical geography, geology, physics. Senior transfers (90 or more credits) who have completed two science courses with or without laboratory components will have met the natural sciences requirement. Transfers with 30 credits or more may transfer one science course without a laboratory component.
Visual and Performing Arts
Two courses, including one performance activity. Only one 1-credit course may be counted.
Health and Well-Being
One activity course. Students over 25 years of age are exempt from the Health and Well-Being requirement.

One course.*
U.S. Diversity
One course.*
4. Integrated Studies
Integrated Studies Capstone:
One course.* (This course is included in the requirements for the major; no additional course work is required.)
* These courses are not additional unit or course requirements. They are content requirements that may be met through selection of courses that also meet major, elective or other core requirements.
Students transferring from California community colleges who, prior to transfer to CLU, have fully satisfied the Intersegmental General Education Transfer Curriculum (IGETC) need only complete the foreign language requirement and one religion course to meet the Core-21 general education requirements.

Whether we're channeling past idols like Anita Pallenberg or present ones like Nicole Richie, one thing is certain: we adore a luxurious hippie-chic look! In addition to being very au courant, it's incredibly easy to create your own boho-deluxe ensemble, all you need is a little help from the team at Lucky Brand!
Now, you're probably aware of Lucky Brand's amazing denim offerings--their jeans have been a go-to staple of fashionable women's wardrobes forever--but you might not be as familiar with their incredible fall collection. Take it from us: you can find everything you need to create an on-trend, ultra-cool, boho-deluxe outfit and best of all, it's totally affordable! If you're ready to create a Southwestern-meets-Laurel Canyon look, we can help. Simply shop the featured pieces for this exact outfit, and be sure to check out all of noteworthy items now in stock on Lucky Brand's website!
Casablanca Printed Peasant Top ($89.50)
With its chic assortment of vintage prints, this peasant top is the perfect piece for the boho-deluxe look! Pair it with your favorite dark-rinse jeans, earthy jewelry, and clog-detailed shoes or style it with cutoffs and simple leather sandals: either way, it's an excellent purchase!
Charlie Baby Boot Jeans ($119)
While you could always wear your peasant top with some '70s-style bell-bottoms, we think classic, clean, slightly flared jeans are a more modern choice. These timeless low-rise jeans are flattering and slim, so you can really pair them with anything!
Topanga Canyon Crossbody Bag ($149)
This bag is so incredibly cool on so many levels! We love the fringed leather details, as they add texture to any outfit, plus an across-body strap is always a good thing. Stylish and practical, this bag is a smart choice for a music festival or just running errands around town!
Amber-Bead Necklace ($75)
When creating a boho-deluxe look, you simply must incorporate something with a handcrafted vibe, hence our inclusion of this stunning necklace. The rough-hewn stones are perfectly chunky and the gorgeous amber color is sure to add a little warmth to any look.
Gold Lace Cuff ($99)
While the leather fringe on the Topanga Canyon Crossbody Bag definitely adds some texture to your ensemble, you can also use jewelry to amplify an outfit. Case in point: this delicate, fabulous cuff--which was inspired by antique lace--will make your overall look a little more nuanced, plus it adds a dash of femininity!
Turquoise Buckle Belt ($79.50)
Hmm, how to describe this belt? Well, in a word, we're simply obsessed with it! The leather is the ideal shade of tan and the turquoise stones are just incredibly cool. Snap it up now, this accessory's a winner!
Tessa Heels ($99) in Red
Boasting a wooden heel and clog-like studded details, these bright red sandals are a sure thing for fall. These shoes are the ideal selection for a bohemian look because they're sturdy enough to pair with flared jeans and who could resist a pop of bright color?

NYP: @ Brooklyn Cyclones 5, Jamestown Jammers 2
SS Danny Muno (.341/.448/.494) was 1-3 with a double and a walk. In 44 games, the 22-year old has extra-base hits in 9.8% of his plate appearances with exactly the same number of walks and strikeouts 32, a rate of 15.7%. He's also rocking a .412 BABIP. Some of these things are sustainable, one is not.
3B Richard Lucas (.313/.404/.487) was 2-4. Mike wrote about the 22-year old Lucas yesterday and his desire to prove people wrong.
Meanwhile, out of the bullpen, Jack Leathersich struck out four and walked one in 1.2 innings pitched. In 8.2 innings pitched in Brooklyn, the Mets' 2011 fifth-rounder faced 34 batters and fanned 20. That's crazy good.
Also, I loved, the Cyclones Brooklyn Nite Jerseys with the image of the bridge, which you can see below.
APP: Kingsport Mets 6, @ Johnson City Cardinals 0
Probably the best thing to happen in the system Wednesday night: Juan Urbina put together his best professional start. He shutout Johnson City on five hits and two walks with three strikeouts. In 17 innings in Augusta, he's fanned 12 and walked four and run a 2.12 ERA. Whether you want to look at ERA, K/BB ratio, opponents' batting average, Urbina has improved in every month of the 2011 season.
DH Cam Maron was 2-3. The 20-year old, the Mets 39th rounder in 2009, is hitting .309/.417/.383 in 46 games for Kingsport.
GCL: GCL Marlins 15, GCL Mets 6
Bunch of interesting notes here actually:
Chin-Lung Hu continues to rehab. In eight games in the GCL, he's hit .138 (4-for-29) with seven walks and six strikeouts and zero extra-base hits. He also committed his second throwing error.
Zach Dotson made his second appearance since returning from a 50-game suspension and recorded one out: 0.1 iP, 2 H, 4 R, 4 ER, 2 BB, 0 K. Dotson, who received the second-largest bonus in the Mets 2009 draft class, despite being selected in the 13th round, has thrown 1 inning this year and 17.1 in the GCL since signing.
Robert Gsellman, this year's 13th rounder, tossed two scoreless innings.
CF Joe Tuschak, this year's sixth rounder, was 2-3 with two walks to push his batting average back over .200 and up to .205/.333/.229.

My husband and I have been Vegan for almost a year. He was seriously missing snickers when we stumbled upon these in our local WFM. These are made with rice milk, so I do not understand the comments about allergies to milk pertaining to these bars. If you used to like Snickers or just like peanuts, caramel, and chocolate. I suggest you give these a try!! --Note from Natural Candy Store: While the Jokerz do not contain any milk ingredients, they are made in a facility that also produces products containing milk. This may not be acceptable for people with severe milk allergies. Please be sure to read all ingredients and allergen information to determine if a product meets your individual needs.

These bars are excellent. I was little reluctant to offer this to my nephew who is allergic to milk protein, as I saw a comment on milk allergy. He asked for a bite and didn't get any adverse effects, though I have no knowledge on severity of his condition. Allergies can be worse in childhood, I am vegan due to allergy for many animal proteins and got no adverse effects on this, when I was young I couldn't consume anything containing even traces of milk protein.
yummy bars
May 28, 2011 | By dexc
these have recently gone on sale in a local veggie/vegan/health food shop & are just YUMMY!... I see a comment here about an allergic reaction to milk content.. which is odd since it's vegan no?
Allergic Reaction to These
Dec 9, 2010 | By Mom of allergic child
I think this tastes great, but my child who is allergic to milk became violently ill after one bite. So beware if you have a severe milk allergy.

|East Carbon's Lady Viking volleyball team is heading to state once again to make it two years in a row.
The East Carbon Lady Vikings will be heading to the state volleyball tournament on Friday for the second time in two years.
Their first game will be against either Layton Christian or Navajo Mountain at the Mackay Center on the Utah Valley State College Campus in Orem.
The final decision as to where they fit in the tournament was decided last Friday when the team lost to regular season champion Dugway, the championship of the Region 18 tournament at Wendover. The score in that set was 15-11, 11-15 and 7-15.
While Dugway has not been highly rated in the state this year their 14-1 record speaks volumes about the Lady Mustangs who are the only other Region 18 team in the state tournament.
They play Whitehorse on Friday morning in their opening game.
East Carbon is in the upper bracket of the 1A tournament, which is probably a good place to be. That's because most of the teams experts consider the real heavyweights are in the lower bracket, including multiple year winner Rich High School (13-0). The team expected to win it all once again. That is the bracket Dugway is in along with another tough squad Salt Lake Lutheran (13-1).
The upper bracket includes the 11-4 Lady Vikes as a favorite in their first round game, as well as Waterford (13-2) and a very good Green River team (8-1). If both ECH and Waterford win their first game they will play each other at 3 p.m. But regardless if the Lady Vikes win or lose that first game they will play because the state tournament is a double elimination format.
So for Carbon County fans it is a double treat. They can see both Carbon High and East Carbon play on the same courts on the same day. And just possibly they both will be big winners.
It will be a lot of fun.

Men's Soccer to open conference play against Belmont
Requires Adobe Flash
Requires Adobe Flash
Coach Charles Morrow
Thursday, October 02, 2008
Soccer's version of the "Battle of the Boulevard" is going to be taking place in a more distant location.
Due to preparations for the Presidential Debate at Belmont, the Bruins home game with the Lipscomb Bisons Friday night, the second annual "Battle of the Boulevard" Cup, will be played at Drakes Creek Park in Hendersonville, about a 45-minute drive from campus. Game time is at 7 for the Atlantic Sun opener for both teams.
Lipscomb is 4-5-0. Belmont is 5-4-0.
The Bisons tied Belmont 0-0 in 2007 during the regular season. In the quarterfinals of the Atlantic Sun Conference Tournament the Bisons prevailed 1-0 against Belmont.
"The Belmont game very is significant because it is a conference game and we want to win every conference game," said Bisons coach Charles Morrow. "We go into every conference game with the anticipation we are going to find success, but with the understanding that things may happen that are out of our control.
"It is significant from the standpoint that this is a rivalry. We have had some recent success against Belmont and we want to continue that.
"There are a lot of bragging rights that go with this game. But at the end of the day it is no more important than any other conference game. It is hard for us to wrap our hands around that because it is such a huge rivalry."
Morrow's team is entering the game with a great deal of confidence, having won three of their last four games.
"There is no question how our players feel about who is the better team and who should be on top," Morrow said. "At the same time we know that the best team doesn't always win."
Morrow's concern is making sure his team can overcome Belmont's style of play.
"Belmont plays a disruptive style," Morrow said. "We are trying to build an attack, spread a team out and look for opportunities to create goal-scoring opportunities. That is who we are.
"Belmont is just looking to dump balls in to create havoc. There is a definite shape they play with, and they stay pretty organized with that shape. But when they attack we are going to throw numbers and bodies at them and make them deal with balls behind their defense.
"The other thing Belmont does is pack the middle. We want to use the whole field and spread teams out. They are so compact in the midfield that it is hard to defend those numbers and it also hard to attack through the middle because they clog it up so much. It is a frustrating style that presents problems that are unique to that style of play."
The big challenge for the Bisons is to not get caught up in Belmont' style of play.
"We have conditioned our players to focus on going into this game and play our style," Morrow said. "If we play our style, stick to our game plan and play well the results are going to take care of themselves."
The Bisons lead the conference in goals with 16 and are second in goals per game with 1.78. They also lead in shots with 147, an average of 16.3 per game and points with 45, an average of 5 per game.
The Bisons are tied with Stetson for first in assists with 13 and are second in assists per game with 1.44.
Starting with the Belmont game the Bisons will be centering their attention on winning enough games to earn a berth in the A-Sun Tournament and then playing for seeding.

Activity 5 {science, physical movement}: Go for nature walk around the neighborhood and collect leaves, berries, pinecones, nuts, sticks, and other natural objects in various sizes, shapes, and colors. This was totally his favorite part!
Activity 6 {math skills}: Sort by types and colors, count how many are in each pile. Also, do some simple adding {"If you have four large pinecones and three small ones, how many total pinecones do you have?"}
Activity 7 {art}: Make a collage using what we collected.

Nice work! I used to teach too Your post brings me back to those "oh so busy days."
I was just thinking this is a great idea for homeschooling families and just as the first couple of years is a TON of work for new teachers by the time you get to the 2nd or 3rd child you'll have everything down pat.
Great idea! I'll be doing a Advent post/giveaway in October I think on my holiday blog so you'll have to watch for that post. For now,

After serving a total of 12 terms in the U.S. House of Representatives, Congressman Ron Paul (R-Texas) has announced that he will not be seeking another term in the House so that he can concentrate fully on his bid for a Republican presidential nomination in 2012.
USA Today reports:
Paul, 75, told a local paper in his congressional district that he didn't want to be distracted by running two campaigns at once. The libertarian-thinking candidate, who has a devoted following among supporters of his small government views, is running in his third White House campaign.
In an interview with local Texas newspaper The Facts, Paul clarified, "I felt it was better that I concentrate on one election. It's about that time when I should change tactics."

Enjoy a grand adventure that blends the north and south of India in a single journey, weaving the sub-continent's cultural heritage into a comprehensive and magical experience.
Tour Details
- A Tailor-Made Journey to India and Nepal
- The Forbidden City: Official Spaces and Private Quarters
- Journey from Bangkok to Bali: Following the Spirits
- Haydn Seek
From north to south, India beckons with colors of infinite richness, sounds of enduring spirituality, and sights of unending wonder. Encounter India's fabled historical and spiritual heritage on this unique itinerary with highlights both on and off the beaten path from royal Rajasthan to Kerala.
Begin by touring the classic Golden Triangle, featuring Delhi, with the Gandhi Memorial and the Tomb of Humayun; Agra and its sublime Taj Mahal; and the "pink city" of Jaipur, with its Amber Fort and City Palace Museum. You'll also explore Udaipur's magnificent City Palace complex overlooking Lake Pichola, and in Jodhpur tour the imposing hilltop Mehrangarh Fort. Journey to the Thar Desert for a two-night stay at the Dera Dune Retreat near Jamba, perched atop a 130-foot sand dune, and embark on a camel safari. Then depart Rajasthan and travel to Mumbai, India's energetic commercial capital in the south. Conclude with three days in Kochi, "Queen of the Arabian Sea," where highlights include a demonstration of Indian cooking with celebrated chef Nimmy Paul, a full-day city tour, a cruise along Kerala's scenic canals, and a performance of Kathakali dance, a traditional Kerala art form. An optional extension to Sri Lanka is also offered.
Days 1-2 - U.S., Delhi, India
Depart the U.S. and upon arrival late evening the next day, transfer to your hotel.
Days 3-4 - Delhi
Built by a succession of empires, Delhi is comprised of many cities. This afternoon tour Old Delhi, capital of Muslim India from 1100-1800. Begin at the Gandhi Memorial, open to the sky and with an eternal flame, then continue to the massive Red Fort complex of palaces and Jama Masjid, India's largest mosque dating to 1656. Conclude the day with a rickshaw ride in Chandni Chowk, Delhi's colorful market. This evening, gather for a welcome dinner at the hotel.
Today's touring includes Bangla Sahib, India's most important Sikh house of worship. Spend time viewing the superb collection of Indian art and artifacts at the National Museum, and explore Qutab Minar (c. 1052), India's tallest minaret, standing at 238 feet tall. (2B,1L,1D)
Days 5-6 - Agra
Traveling by coach today to Agra, stop en route at Akbar the Great's mausoleum in Sikandra, a Mughal architectural gem built in 1613. Late this afternoon watch the sun set over the Taj Mahal.
The next morning presents a travel highlight as you embark on a sunrise tour of the Taj Mahal, the magnificent tomb built by Emperor Shah Jahan in memory of his beloved wife Mumtaz. Return to the hotel for breakfast then visit the imposing Agra Fort complex (c. 1565). (2B,2L,1D)
Days 7-8 - Jaipur
Travel by coach today to the "pink city" of Jaipur, one of the great cities of the Rajput, with historic forts, palaces, and gardens. Early the next morning, join a yoga demonstration. After a photo stop at Hawa Mahal, the elaborately carved pink sandstone "Palace of the Winds," tour opulent Amber Fort. Built by the Kachhawah Rajputs as their capital from 1037 to 1728, the complex of pavilions and palaces sits at the pinnacle of Mughal architecture. Learn about the care of elephants at the nearby "elephant" village of Kunda, then visit the Anokhi Museum of Hand Printing. This afternoon visit Jantar Mantar (c. 1728), the open-air observatory with its huge astronomical instruments, and the City Palace Museum, housing the magnificent art collections of Jaipur's Maharajahs. (2B,2L,1D)
Days 9-11 - Udaipur
Travel by coach to Udaipur, "City of Lakes." The next day, after a stop at the Eklinji complex of 108 temples dating to the 8th century, visit Udaipur's highlight: the royal City Palace complex overlooking Lake Pichola. Bedecked with balconies, towers, and domes, City Palace was built in 1559, then added onto over the next 300 years. Tour the museum inside, then see nearby Jagdish Temple, with its elaborate ornamentation. This afternoon enjoy a relaxing boat ride on the lake. The next morning, see a prized collection of Rajasthani folk arts at the Lok Kala Museum, then continue to the cluster of cenotaphs (memorials) to the Maharajahs of Mewar who once reigned here. Later visit a nearby village. (3B,2L,3D)
Day 12 - Jodhpur
Travel by coach today to Jodhpur, stopping for lunch at Ranakpur, where you'll visit its spectacular marble Jain temple. Arrive in Jodhpur later today and visit Jaswant Thada, a landmark memorial built of intricately carved white marble, then walk through Jodhpur's vibrant markets. (B,L)
Day 13 - Jodhpur and Jamba
This morning, tour Jodhpur's imposing hilltop Mehrangarh Fort (c. 1459), with its seven gates, various palaces, and well-regarded museum. Then depart for Jamba, traveling through the Thar Desert as the undulating dunes reflect the golden glow of the sun. Late today take a camel safari through the dunes to nearby salt pans. Your unique lodging for two nights, the Dera Dune Retreat, perches magnificently atop a stabilized 130-foot sand dune and provides a wonderful base for exploring this remote area of Rajasthan. (B,L,D)
Days 14-15 - Jamba, Jodhpur, Mumbai
This morning, during a visit to a school, you'll join the children in crafts projects. Next embark on a jeep safari, and meet with ethnic groups in their villages. The following day return to Jodhpur for the flight to Mumbai, arriving late in the afternoon and dining tonight at your hotel. (2B,2L,2D)
Day 16 - Mumbai
Today encounter India's most populous city, as well as its commercial and entertainment capital. Begin at the modest – and revered – two-story Mani Bhawan, Gandhi's headquarters in Mumbai from 1917-1934. During a city tour, you'll see the waterfront Gateway of India monument; Dhobi Ghat, Mumbai's famed open-air "laundromat;" the Hanging Gardens with their animal-shaped hedges; and Marine Drive, overlooking the seaside promenade. This afternoon, visit Mumbai's main museum of art, archaeology, and natural history. Your tour concludes at the vibrant and beautiful Crawford Market. (B,L)
Day 17 - Kochi
Mid-morning fly to the port city Kochi (formerly called Cochin), the first of Europe's colonies in India. Later take a walking tour of Fort Kochi to see its mix of Portuguese, Dutch, and British historic colonial buildings. Tonight join celebrated chef Nimmy Paul for a demonstration of Indian cooking, followed by dinner. (B, D)
Days 18-19 - Kochi
A full-day tour reveals Kochi's multi-layered past. Highlights include the Dutch Palace, with its rare Keralite flooring and mythological murals; St. Francis, India's first European church (c. 1510); and the photogenic Chinese fishing nets unique to Kochi. Then enjoy time at leisure for lunch on your own and to explore Kochi's old town as you wish. Tonight attend a performance of Kathakali dance, where facial expressions and hand gestures combine with movement to create this traditional Kerala art form. Following the performance enjoy a farewell dinner at your hotel.
The next morning, cruise along Kerala's palm-fringed backwaters of lagoons, lakes and canals and see the life of local villages and farms up close. The remainder of the day is at leisure. (2B, 2L, 1D)
Day 20 - Depart for U.S.
Very early this morning depart for the airport and your return flight to the U.S.

What are the pros and cons for outdoor oriented folks?I'm 35, married, no kids [to my knowledge ;) ] I live in Portland OR so the standard is kinda high for "cool factor" but I wuz beared and growed up in the deep south, so I wont be shocked by the redneks when compared to Portland.I'm like: there are mtns close so it can't be that bad, but my wife thinks it'll be a time warp back to the days of horse and buggy or something.Should I hold out for Missoula or Bozeman?Any help is greatly appreciatedIts these three towns specifically because of my job. I appreciate other suggestions but it has to be one of these three. Thanks everybody. Y'all are my only friends. Boo hoo. Oh boo hoo... sniff :)

Count yourself yourself lucky mate, I live in the Midwest where its as flat as a pool table. Anyway back on topic, let 51% of the decision up to your wife as it will save grief later.
Hey Stephen. Yeah i'm not complaining (for once). I like portland a lot. But theres too many people for my taste. And its cloudy as hell I just want to know what all is going on there. And if its cool sounding we will go visit. My wife loves it here but isnt against moving to a sunnier spot too. Boise doesnt appeal to her but i may to be able to get a job there some day and want some bargaining chips if that job comes open. But if it sucks there nevermind
Take your wife for a weekend getaway and check it out. It's on my short list of NW towns to move to. University town so you have the athletic programs, arts, and culture that goes along with that. Decent restaurant selection (at least there was a few years ago.) Bogus Basin is just outside of town. Cabelas! The few people I've known who have moved there don't want to leave.
>Count yourself yourself lucky mate, I live in the Midwest where its as flat as a pool table.Yeah. I suppose you could count falling off the cliffs at Pictured Rocks falling in the pocket of said pool table. :)

Agree on the advice to visit with your wife. I love Boise. It's a similar but milder climate than Denver with access to mountains to the North. I have many many relatives that live in Nampa, just west of Boise.
Cool. Keep em coming!I think that any town over 80,000 and having a D1 University town cant be all that bad. A good resident population and a steady influx of young people keeps a town fresh and fun. I guess shes worried about restaurants and stuff? She cant really say what it is that nakes her nervous. Some people that we know lived there and dodnt like it, but that was in the 80s and they werent outdoorsy people. We will visit on our way to check out Missoula and Bozeman. She wants Missoula. I'll take any of them! Get me near the mtns!! Mt Hood is nice but 2M people having to share one mountain is kinda dumb. (On the trail at 8000 ft and you can see all sorts of people?!?) (cooper spur)
Worse problems to have than having to choose between PDX, Bozeman, Missoula, and Boise. I've visited all three cities you are considering moving to and they seem comparable. All three have their own flavor and personality so it'll be interesting to see which one you two agree on. At worst you'll have a lovely vacation and return to Portland. Have fun and good luck with this decision.
This chart may help you decide which state makes the most sense for relocation. At your age, the job prospects trump long term issues like estate and inheritance taxes.MT and OR do not have sales taxesMT, CO, and WY have a personal property tax. WA and WY have NO state income taxDecisions. Decisions, Decisions.

What about Spokane, WA? As a jumping off point for all kinds of recreational activities, I think most people overlook Spokane. Several ski areas within 2 hours, numerous backpacking and hiking opportunities, and several large lakes and river systems all within a short distance. Easy and quick access to Idaho and Montana.@Bob, a couple of edits to your chart, wrt WA. 6.5% sales tax is the state's portion. Municipalities add on additional sales tax so that rate can be as high as 10% in certain areas. No part of the state pays the bare minimum 6.5%. Additionally, there is a federal deduction for Washington sales tax. It is either a credit based upon income, or if you want to save your receipts you can deduct the actual amount paid.

Thanks everybody. I guess i should say that its these towns specifically because of my job. There is my store in these towns and someday, if my position opens up, i wanna jump on it. Just don't wanna go to a town that is a bummer. I'll edit my op to reflect the job thing
Bob, your spreadsheet looks great BUT you forgot the question, " Do they turn you away at the border if the state is getting close to 1 million in population? " There should be a big red YES in the Montana column. Just kidding, really.
Now that I'm on my laptop (not my phone) I can read that chart.Bob, or anyone, what is personal property tax? Luckily I own nothing of any value. In few years I'll own a 7 year old Escape. Does that count?Valued items in descending order:2008 Escape (not paid off for 4 more years)1999 f150 Scarp 2Mutha Hubba (LNWT for sale for $300 +shipping- just sayin)Yeti Tundra 65Dyson DC33It goes downhill from there. If I have to pay a tax on a tent MT is OUT!!!UT is out cause they are beer Nazis. ;)

Good chart Bob. The one thing I'd have to check on, though, is whether or not these states tax federal/military retirement pay.
Look up any state you want at https://www.retirementliving.com/taxes-by-stateScroll down to the state of interest.@Marc:Most states allow add-ons by lower level governing bodies; The chart list just what the state itself levies.@Jeffs:Personal Property Tax is a nasty, never-ending bottomless pit of a tax on the declared value of your personal belongings - minus cars and your primary residence. You can literally wind up buying all your stuff again several times over the years.

Living outside of Boise, I can only snicker a bit for those who live elsewhere. There are plenty of great spots to live in, and we are just fortunate that the Boise area rocks. The town has any and everything you can imagine, and all the yuppiness folks from Portland will desire, in addition to all the redneck anyone else might like. And all points in between. Main points of positive mainly lie in the low cost of living; house cost, etc., ridiculously close access to every type of recreation imaginable, world class whitewater less than 30 miles, skiing less than 20, road biking out the front door, mt biking out the front door, hiking within a few minutes, serious remoteness less than 2 hours and on and on....and an added benefit of a desert area that is larger than many states, and boasts an almost limitless recreational area that is basically unused. don't hesitate to drop me a line, I can try to answer any of your questions etc
"What about Spokane, WA? As a jumping off point for all kinds of recreational activities, I think most people overlook Spokane."Probably because Spokane is ghetto. I do hear good things about Boise from several friends and coworkers who lived there.
Several years ago I was sent to Boise on business. Wasn't thrilled at the prospect, but now it is one of my favorite places. I think the was a similar thread here last year. Also add the theatre in the round for urban summer entertainment.
"Probably because Spokane is ghetto."Spokane is an acquired taste...you just need to look past the tweakers and poverty.

Australia's wine capital features more than 80 cellar doors, less than two hours' drive from Adelaide.
Immerse yourself in a place where luxury retreats offer award-winning wines, world-class cuisine and panoramic views.
The Barossa is a great romantic escape. The hills and valleys have inspired many local artists, so take some time, just the two of you and escape here for the weekend. Spend the night in million-star accommodation under clear skies.
The Mediterranean climate of the Barossa, cool summers and rainy winters is perfectly suited for red wine production, particularly Shiraz and a richly flavoured Cabernet.
Situated within the Barossa region is the Eden Valley, which also boasts a stellar reputation for premium wines. A higher altitude and cooler climate lends itself to Riesling and Chardonnay.
Unlike us, wine really doesn't enjoy travelling. If you've picked up a few treasured bottles, don't leave them in the car on a warm day! Many cellar doors offer specialist international wine transport services, to make sure your precious cargo gets home safely.
The Barossa really is a classic blend, combining tradition and history with 21st century luxury and creativity. In 1836, Johannes Menges, one of the region's first settlers described the Barossa as "The cream, the whole cream and nothing but the cream." He was right. From humble beginnings in the hamlet of Bethany in 1842, there's a rich seam of Barossa history to discover.
Learn about the short-lived goldrush of the late 1860s. See the buildings, scenery, arts and culture and of course, taste the wine and food. Take a learning journey down our network of heritage trails. Jump in the car or stretch the legs and enjoy a leisurely stroll. The trails are well signposted.
If you need some help planning, drop into the Visitor Information Centres in Gawler and Tanunda. Open seven days a week, you'll recognise them by the bright blue and yellow "i" sign.
The Barossa, live a life of luxury.
The raw and earthy passion of the Barossa television advertisement won the prize for world's best commercial at the 4th Cannes Corporate Media & TV Awards in October 2013.
The Barossa Visitor Guide features information on local history, wine, food and culinary experiences, retail, art and adventures. Plan your holiday with the Barossa Visitor Guide and see why the Barossa is a taste of the good life.
Download a Barossa map to help find your way around when you visit. Plenty of cellar doors, of course, but there's also an impressive list of attractions and several walking trails too.
Here are some great ideas for you to try while you're in the area.
There are plenty of events on in the Barossa. Here are some ideas you might like.

Global concern about environmental issues has tumbled to a 20-year low since the beginning of the economic recession, a new study just reported. The multi-nation poll surveyed 22,812 people across 22 countries — including Great Britain and the United States — 12 of which have been regularly polled on environmental issues since 1992.
Surveyed on six key environmental issues — species loss, auto emissions, fresh water shortages, air pollution, water pollution, and general climate change — fewer people now perceive such issues as "very serious" than in the last two decades, when research group GlobeScan first launched the annual poll. In a February 25 press release, the group reported on its revealing study:
Climate change is the only exception, where concern was lower from 1998 to 2003 than it is now. Concern about air and water pollution, as well as biodiversity, is significantly below where it was even in the 1990s. Many of the sharpest falls have taken place in the past two years.
The perceived seriousness of climate change has fallen particularly sharply since the unsuccessful UN Climate Summit in Copenhagen in December 2009. Climate concern dropped first in industrialized countries, but this year's figures show that concern has now fallen in major developing economies such as Brazil and China as well.
Overall, 49 percent of people now consider so-called man-made climate change a "very serious" issue, a notable percentage lower than at the outset of the 2009 global financial crisis. The indication is that poor economic conditions are diverting attention from "humanitarian" concerns and prompting individuals to focus more on their own economic concerns.

Participants returned from their holiday break excited for the New Year. They kicked the month off by setting and writing down New Year's resolutions and goals.
November was a busy month at Extra Innings at Derek's Dugout! Along with a strong emphasis on homework and academics, the students took a trip to the Three Rivers Public Library.
The program year at Extra Innings at Derek's Dugout got off to a great start once again. As soon as the students arrived, they split up into two groups and began their homework and academic time.

Botox Cosmetic
The results for Botox are truly astounding, which explains the ever-growing popularity of this medical procedure.
Test Product Name
Add to Faves?
Botox Cosmetic At-A-Glance
Strengths: An injection procedure that genuinely works to eliminate expression lines and minor wrinkles due to the effect it has on muscles that control facial movement; far superior to any topical product claming to work like Botox.
Weaknesses: Cost; the procedure needs to be repeated every 3-6 months to maintain results; some people have a fear of the needle; Botox parties, where women gather to drink alcohol and get injections of Botox, are never a good idea.
Botox is short for the botulinum toxin, type A. When injected into specific muscles it prevents movement through partial and almost complete paralysis of those muscles. The inability to use certain facial muscles causes certain wrinkles to disappear completely. This helps eliminate almost all of the wrinkles of the forehead, the crow's feet area (by the eyes), and the lines that run from the nose to the mouth (the naso-labial folds), though this area is injected far less often then the forehead. We know this sounds outlandish and frightening, but in reality it is no more bizarre than any other cosmetic surgery or treatment, or simply getting a shot for other medical considerations.
What is most significant, and what consumers need to understand when told by the cosmetics industry how scary these injections are, is that the results for Botox are truly astounding, which explains the consistent and ever-growing popularity of this medical procedure for the treatment of wrinkles. If you're wondering how Botox makes the face look, given that if you choose that treatment there are muscles you won't be moving for a while, (assuming you don't know anyone who has had it done), check out any Hollywood actress over the age of 35. They haven't moved their foreheads once. Of course we can't say for certain that any of these actresses have had Botox, but given the way they can't use their foreheads (they never frown or furrow their brows) and they have no lines on their foreheads (especially not in comparison to their male counterparts), we assume they all have.
Botox is also not anything new. It has been used by ophthalmologists since 1973 to treat patients with disabling eye tics, as well as to treat the problem of crossed eyes. It is also used by other medical specialists for the treatment of spasmodic neck muscles, spasmodic laryngeal muscles, multiple sclerosis, cerebral palsy, some post-stroke states, spinal cord injuries, nerve palsies, Parkinson's disease, facial spasms, and, most recently, migraine headaches. What this extensive use (and the corresponding research) has shown is that Botox has a great success rate and no detrimental side effects.
As glowing as this all sounds, there are downsides and risks, but they are minimal and transient. From my perspective the worst side effect is that the results aren't permanent (it does make the forehead look fabulous). It will only paralyze the muscle for three to six months, which means repeated injections are necessary to maintain results. The serious risk is that a misplaced injection can cause facial or eyelid drooping, bruising, jaw weakness, and neck or back weakness, although this rarely happens. The good news is that if you are one of the few who experience these side effects, they only last as long as the effect on the rest of the face lasts, so they are rarely, if ever, permanent.
Sources for the above information about Botox: Dermatologic Surgery, May 2007, pages 567-571; Facial and Plastic Surgery, February 2007, pages 7-18; Opthamology, June 2005, pages 1159-1167; Cosmetic and Laser Therapy, November 2004, pages 145-148; Journal of the American Academy of Dermatology, August 2004, pages 223-233; Journal of Pediatric Orthopedics, July 2007, page 303; and Developmental Medicine and Child Neurology, May 2007, pages 331-337.
One of the hottest trends at cosmetics counters and drugstores is products claiming to mimic the effects of Botox. "Antiwrinkle" products are certainly not new, but connecting a moisturizer's efficacy to Botox or other medical corrective procedures such as dermal fillers (i.e., collagen or Restylane injections) is definitely an attention-getting marketing angle, and sales are booming! Cosmetic companies from Avon to Estee Lauder are linking their products with Botox, which isn't surprising since the results are so instantaneously impressive and the procedure is incredibly popular. According to The American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery, it is now the No. 1 non-surgical cosmetic corrective procedure in the U.S. Alas, it is also costly, and the thought of being injected with the botulism toxin leaves some people fearfully furrowing their brows.
Botox injections introduce a minute amount of the synthetic botulinum type A toxin into areas where it is injected, thus preventing the use of those muscles (you can't frown or lift eyebrows after being injected until the effect wears off around four months later). Within 24 to 48 hours of receiving Botox, forehead wrinkles are gone. Prior to the treatment of wrinkles, Botox has been used for decades to treat eye spasms, dystonia, and cerebral palsy.
So can any cosmetic lotion or cream work better than Botox, or in any way similar to Botox? The short answer is a resounding no! According to Dr. Alistaire Carruthers, Clinical Professor of Dermatology at the University of British Columbia who has published many studies about Botox, you can't affect muscle movement topically. And if you could, it would be problematic for the body since it would affect muscles you do not want "relaxed," such as those in your hands or near your mouth. In reality, there are no topical ingredients that can come remotely close to improving wrinkles like Botox does.
StriVectin-SD ($135 for 6 ounces) is the product that started the whole "better than Botox" craze. It went from ads in Parade magazine to prominent shelf space in Nordstrom and Sephora. However, the only studies proving StriVectin's benefits (via peptide technology) were paid for by the manufacturer, and they have never been published. There have been papers presented on this topic at dermatology conferences, but such presentations are not held to the same standard as peer-reviewed, publishable studies.
Trying to capitalize on StriVectin's marketing success are a growing list of creatively-named Botox wannabes, including Avon Anew Clinical Deep Crease Concentrate with Bo-Hylurox, DDF Wrinkle Relax, Dr. Brandt Crease Release Estee Lauder Perfectionist [CP+] with Poly-Collagen Peptides, Freeze 24-7 Anti-Wrinkle Cream, L'Oreal Dermo-Expertise Wrinkle De-Crease Wrinkle Corrector, and Revlon Age Defying Makeup and Concealer with BotaFirm SPF 20. The only thing these products share in common is their inflated marketing claims.
We know many of you hope that the next works-like-Botox product really will fulfill that promise, but the lack of substantiated studies, the fact that the FDA does not require cosmetic companies to prove their claims, and the sheer complexity of skin aging make it impossible for any cosmetic to eliminate wrinkles. Claims of "better than Botox" are simply bogus. As nice as it would be to get Botox-like results "without painful injections," it just isn't possible. (By the way, about those injections, they are more of a minor, temporary discomfort than an agonizing experience.) Despite the ads, there isn't a plastic surgeon or dermatologist going out of business because of any antiwrinkle cream being sold.

Students interested in careers in medicine, dentistry, podiatry, osteopathy, chiropractic, pharmacy or optometry must fulfill the prerequisites at Guilford for professional school admission. Health professions advisors provide detailed information on various careers, as well as on professional school admission requirements, application procedures and special programs for minority students. Also available are application materials, financial aid information and study materials for entrance examinations (such as the Medical College Admission Test and the Dental Admission Test).
Students planning to attend law school are urged to contact Guilford's pre-law advisor and to participate fully in the activities of the Websterian Pre-Law Society. Students are encouraged to contact the advisor early in their undergraduate studies for both academic and law school admission advice.
There is no prescribed or preferred major for pre-law students, but law schools seek students who have demonstrated mastery of their chosen fields of study and compete a balanced liberal arts education. Pre-law students are urged to include foreign languages, the basics of accounting, political theory, logic (formal or informal), economics, analytical writing and critical thinking among their undergraduate courses. Many law schools require solid performance on the Law School Admission Test (LSAT) and a 3.0 or higher grade-point average.
The Websterian Pre-Law Society provides practice LSAT exams, regular meetings, guest speakers and visits to nearby law schools. Internships at local agencies and law firms are coordinated by the pre-law advisor.
The Department of Religious Studies offers preparation which may lead to a career in the ministry or religious education. A broad range of courses preparing the student to enter theological school directly upon graduation includes History of Christianity, Old Testament and New Testament, Contemporary Theology, Quakerism and various explorations in modern religious problems.
