Local stores are caught up in the national debate over e-cigarettes that has left the future of a booming industry in question, as sales continue to grow and legislators struggle to keep up.
Its the Wild West of nicotine right now, said Eric R. Kreizman, owner of ERK Vapor, formerly Gourmet Vapor, Potsdam.
Governments have been caught off guard by e-cigarettes rapid recent rise in popularity. The devices do not fit neatly into any existing laws, leaving manufacturers and sellers free to make whatever they want and sell it with little to no oversight.
Legislators are taking notice. In December, New York City subjected e-cigarettes to all of the same restrictions as regular tobacco products, meaning they no longer can be used indoors in a public place. Closer to home, SUNY Potsdam instituted similar restrictions on its campus in January.
The federal Food and Drug Administration is researching the topic and is expected to announce further regulations soon.
So far the FDA has had little official to say on the matter. A brief page on its website outlines its plans for eventual regulation and gives a warning that the long-term health effects of e-cigarettes have not been studied.
E-cigarettes use a tiny heater to vaporize a refillable liquid solution which usually includes nicotine and often includes tobacco flavoring. The device creates a smoke-like vapor without the smell or most of the carcinogenic chemicals often associated with regular cigarettes.
Although e-cigarettes are generally seen as a safer alternative to their traditional counterpart, lacking many of the chemicals that make smoking harmful, the lack of research has FDA officials worried.
The FDAs page on e-cigarettes can be found at http://wdt.me/uyGagZ.
For now, Mr. Kreizman is optimistic about the future of the industry. He sees the growing acceptance of e-cigarettes as a trend that wont be stopped. Regulations are inevitable, he said, and when they come, he will comply.
Michael M. Frennier is the general manager of Unique Cigs, a chain of electronic cigarette stores with branches in Watertown and Malone. He said he doubts the location-based bans like the one in New York City will catch on elsewhere as more people grow to accept the use of e-cigarettes.
Other regulations, according to Mr. Frennier, might actually help level the playing field for ethical companies.
Were kind of looking forward to some regulation coming into place, he said.
He said he hopes the FDA will create a standard for the liquid solution used in e-cigarettes. Both Unique Cigs and ERK Vapor make their own juice with just a few ingredients, but some companies include undisclosed chemicals in their mix, Mr. Frennier said.
He said he also would support regulations banning the advertising or sale of e-cigarettes to minors.
Many of Unique Cigs juices come in flavors such as tropical peach or pumpkin spice, a strategy shared by many companies and criticized by those who say the sweet flavors could tempt children to use e-cigarettes.
Mr. Frennier argues that banning certain flavors is not the answer, and advocates tighter control on who can buy the products.

Hey guys,Just curious if there are any other tall and skinny folk out there that may be able to point me in the right direction. I'm 6'4 and 160lbs (soaking wet with rocks in my pocket). I usually wear a 32X34 pant size and I have had quite the time finding a good solid pair of hiking pants that I really like. I have a pair of Kuhl Liberators which have been great but I really prefer a slimmer, more technical, fit to my pants.I'm looking for something that's a lightweight soft shell fabric. Maybe even not soft shell if the fit is right. Anyone out there my size and have recommendations for pants or companies that have a good 34" inseam selection on hiking pants?
This idea depends on how much you are willing to pay. I offer this as just one possible route to getting what you want - you can get custom sized soft shell pants (and jackets) from Beyond Clothing (formerly Beyond Fleece). Also customizable pockets, and so on. I am hard to fit and I figured if I was going to pay the bucks to get something made out of the best material I might as well pay the %50-70 premium to get exactly what I wanted. I still do most of my trips in the same pair of these I have had for 7-8 years:http://www.beyondclothing.com/shop/mens-outdoor-apparel/pants/products/roughrider-pant-d-steelThe stretchy Scholler is amazing and can even stand up to butt-sliding (just this side of actual rock climbing) maneuvers on slickrock during a 2 week trip through Canyonlands NP. Check out their web site for the other stuff they offer. The roughriders are almost perfect bulletproof hiking pants and water rolls right off of them. They have winter stuff too.However, I'm sure others can offer more economical alternative suggestions. I do know that mine have lasted a lot more than twice as long as the typical nylon pants I have hiked in in the past, so in the end I have no problem with their net economy. They used to (possibly still do) mail out swatches of the different materials they use if you ask them. For what they are they cost in the same ball park as Patagonia, but tailored custom to your measurements.

I am 6 foot and 160 pounds and like the Outdoor Research Men's Ferrosi Soft Shell Pants. They are a light weight soft shell pant at 11oz.
For a midweight softshell look at the REI acme pant. The schoeller material is bomber and they have a surprisingly technical fit for REI. I guess in the last two years or so they've been making more athletic cut clothing than their usual boxy style. I haven't tried the mistral to it may be cut different, but it's billed as a lightweight alternative to the Acme.If you want a lighter nylon pant look into the Arc'Teryx rampart (very durable material, light, but slightly low rise cut) or the perimeter. Unfortunately I prefer the perimeter cut but not the fabric. I love the rampart fabric since it's the only thing I've owned that survives years of desert thorns with virtually no wear and tear visible.
http://www.arcteryx.com/product.aspx?language=EN&gender=mens&category=Pants-Shorts&model=Palisade-PantThe palisades. You can get these in a 35-32 size, which should work well. I'm 6'2 175, and I like arc teryx athletic fitting softshells. The cut is nicely tapered and articulated.
They work great for me,though prolly too warm for temps over about 50-60F.Not quite waterproof, but pretty good; wind-resistant enough; and warm enough on-the-go down to about 10-20F, 0 or below with woolies underneath, and rain pants on top for longer breaks or really high winds.On the other hand, in the winter i very often wear North Face Freedom pants (on sale @ REI <$100 right now). they're insulated soft-shell, warm enough for a good long walk in the woods but not too warm for a few beers after and very comfortable, with vents on the outer thighs that work really well... and available in any color you can possibly imagine as long as it's black ;-)
Westcomb tends toward an athletic cut and at one time sold pants with either a regular or medium rise. I have a pair several years old and really like them. Fit me fine but though I'm tall I'm not skinny.
I've never tried them so far, but Marmot offers pants with a long 34" inseam.
There's a Norwegian company that makes ski clothing that fits tall and skinny people well. Can't remember their name (sorry), but backcountry.com used to sell it. I think they make hiking pants too
Maybe Bergans of Norway? If so, very high quality stuff.
Wow guys, I hadn't checked this thread in a day and look at all the suggestions! I really really appreciate all the input. I'm going to check all the suggestions you made. Thanks again! Tall and skinny unite!
Thomas, you're probably thinking of Norrona. I know bc.com is the exclusive US retailer of the brand (or was as of a year ago).
Haglofs. Best damn pants ever. They keep knocking it out of the park lately. VERY happy with mine.NOTE: They tend to run a bit small, so order a full size up. http://www.sierratradingpost.com/haglofs-flint-pants-soft-shell-for-men~p~5310h/?filterString=s~haglofs%2Fclothing~d~5%2Fmens-clothing~d~15%2Fmens-pants~d~143%2F&colorFamily=02

WikipediaRead full entry
The liger is a hybrid cross between a male lion (Panthera leo) and a female tiger (Panthera tigris).[1] Thus, it has parents with the same genus but of different species. It is distinct from the similar hybrid tigon. While the Siberian tiger is the largest pure sub-species, ligers are believed to be the largest of all known extant felines.[2][3][4]
Ligers exist only in captivity or zoo because the habitats of the parental species do not overlap in the wild. Historically, when the Asiatic Lion was prolific, the territories of lions and tigers did overlap and there are legends of ligers existing in the wild. Although ligers share characteristics of both from lion and tiger, they more closely resemble the lion, because of the dominant gene.[5] Notably, ligers typically grow larger than either parent species, unlike tigons which tend to be about as large as a female tiger and is the cross between a male tiger and a lioness.[6]
Most ligers suffer from embryonic fatality or premature death,[7] those that survive are often genetically or physically sterile and therefore unable to reproduce and continue their lineage.[8]
The history of ligers dates to at least the early 19th century in India. In 1798, Étienne Geoffroy Saint-Hilaire (1772–1844) made a colour plate of the offspring of a lion and a tiger.
In 1825, G. B. Whittaker made an engraving of liger cubs born in 1824.[9] The parents and their three liger offspring are also depicted with their trainer in a 19th-century painting in the naïve style.
Two liger cubs born in 1837 were exhibited to King William IV and to his successor Queen Victoria. On 14 December 1900 and on 31 May 1901, Carl Hagenbeck wrote to zoologist James Cossar Ewart with details and photographs of ligers born at the Hagenbeck's Tierpark in Hamburg in 1897.
In Animal Life and the World of Nature (1902–1903), A.H. Bryden described Hagenbeck's "lion-tiger" hybrids:
It has remained for one of the most enterprising collectors and naturalists of our time, Mr. Carl Hagenbeck, not only to breed, but to bring successfully to a healthy maturity, specimens of this rare alliance between those two great and formidable felidae, the lion and tiger. The illustrations will indicate sufficiently how fortunate Mr. Hagenbeck has been in his efforts to produce these hybrids. The oldest and biggest of the animals shown is a hybrid born on the 11th May, 1897. This fine beast, now more than five years old, equals and even excels in his proportions a well-grown lion, measuring as he does from nose tip to tail 10 ft 2 inches in length, and standing only three inches less than 4 ft at the shoulder. A good big lion will weigh about 400 lb [...] the hybrid in question, weighing as it does no less than 467 lb, is certainly the superior of the most well-grown lions, whether wild-bred or born in a menagerie. This animal shows faint striping and mottling, and, in its characteristics, exhibits strong traces of both its parents. It has a somewhat lion-like head, and the tail is more like that of a lion than of a tiger. On the other hand, it has no trace of mane. It is a huge and very powerful beast.[10]
In 1935, four ligers from two litters were reared in the Zoological Gardens of Bloemfontein, South Africa. Three of them, a male and two females, were still living in 1953. The male weighed 340 kg (750 lb) and stood a foot and a half (45 cm) taller than a full grown male lion at the shoulder.
Although ligers are more commonly found than tigons today, in At Home In The Zoo (1961), Gerald Iles wrote "For the record I must say that I have never seen a liger, a hybrid obtained by crossing a lion with a tigress. They seem to be even rarer than tigons."[11]
Size and growth[edit]
The liger is often believed to represent the largest known cat in the world.[2] Males reach a total length of 3 to 3.5 m,[12][13] meaning they are bigger than large Siberian tiger males.[14] Imprinted genes may be a factor contributing to huge liger size.[15] These are genes that may or may not be expressed on the parent they are inherited from, and that occasionally play a role in issues of hybrid growth. For example, in some dog breed crosses, genes that are expressed only when maternally-inherited cause the young to grow larger than is typical for either parent breed. This growth is not seen in the paternal breeds, as such genes are normally "counteracted" by genes inherited from the female of the appropriate breed.[16]
Other big cat hybrids can reach similar sizes; the litigon, a rare hybrid of a male lion and a female tigon, is roughly the same size as the liger, with a male named Cubanacan (at the Alipore Zoo in India) reaching 363 kg (800 lb).[17] The extreme rarity of these second-generation hybrids may make it difficult to ascertain whether they are larger or smaller, on average, than the liger.
It is wrongly believed that ligers continue to grow throughout their lives due to hormonal issues.[citation needed] It may be that they simply grow far more during their growing years and take longer to reach their full adult size. Further growth in shoulder height and body length is not seen in ligers over 6 years old, same as both lions and tigers. Male ligers also have the same levels of testosterone on average as an adult male lion, yet are azoospermic in accordance with Haldane's rule. In addition, female ligers may also attain great size, weighing approximately 320 kg (705 lb) and reaching 3.05 m (10 ft) long on average, and are often fertile. In contrast, pumapards (hybrids between pumas and leopards) tend to exhibit dwarfism.
Shasta, a ligress (female liger) was born at the Hogle Zoo in Salt Lake City on 14 May 1948 and died in 1972 at age 24.[18] Valley of the Kings animal sanctuary in Wisconsin had a male liger named Nook who weighed around 550 kg (1,213 lb),[19] and died in 2007, at 21 years old.[citation needed] Hobbs, a male liger at the Sierra Safari Zoo in Reno, Nevada, lived to almost 15 years of age before succumbing to liver failure and weighed in at 450 kg (992 lb).[20] This liger was born in 1943 and died in 1960. South Africa still has two ligers at its one zoo at Bloemfontein.[21]
The fertility of hybrid big cat females is well documented across a number of different hybrids. This is in accordance with Haldane's rule: in hybrids of animals whose sex is determined by sex chromosomes, if one sex is absent, rare or sterile, it is the heterogametic sex (the one with two different sex chromosomes e.g. X and Y).
According to Wild Cats of the World (1975) by C. A. W. Guggisberg, ligers and tigons were long thought to be sterile: in 1943, a fifteen-year-old hybrid between a lion and an 'Island' tiger was successfully mated with a lion at the Munich Hellabrunn Zoo. The female cub, though of delicate health, was raised to adulthood.[22]
In September 2012, the Russian Novosibirsk Zoo announced the birth of a "liliger", which is the offspring of a liger mother and a lion father. The cub was named Kiara.[23] In 2013 the same pair of an African lion and a female liger produced three more female cubs.[24]
Ligers have a tiger-like striped pattern that is very faint upon a lionesque tawny background. In addition they may inherit rosettes from the lion parent (lion cubs are rosetted and some adults retain faint markings). These markings may be black, dark brown or sandy. The background colour may be correspondingly tawny, sandy or golden. In common with tigers, their underparts are pale. The actual pattern and colour depends on which subspecies the parents were and on how the genes interact in the offspring.
White tigers have been crossed with lions to produce "white" (actually pale golden) ligers. In theory, white tigers could be crossed with white lions to produce white, very pale or even stripeless ligers. There are no black ligers. Very few melanistic tigers have ever been recorded, most being due to excessive markings (pseudo-melanism or abundism) rather than true melanism; no reports of black lions have ever been substantiated. Blue or Maltese Tigers are extremely endangered and rare, and may even no longer exist, but grey or blue ligers are possible, if exceedingly improbable. A liger can possibly be white, but the phenomenon is quite rare.
Genetic defects[edit]
Due to being a composition of two separate cat species (lions and tigers), the liger suffers from various genetic defects such as infertility, or the inability to breed.[25] Amongst the many other genetic defects include vulnerability to diseases and other health problems.[26]
Zoo policies[edit]
Breeding of ligers has been banned in many zoos and animal sanctuaries due to no conservation value of the hybrid, and the risk it poses on the tigress that gives birth to it.[27] Keeping the two species separate has been standard procedure.[28]

However after two mission trips after the stroke it was clear that it would be to difficult for Brenda with the physical limitations. Looking for ways to spend more time together they found photography to be a good avenue. As he developed as a photographer his work moved from a hobby to having a higher purpose and at that time it became art to him. Since that transformation in his purpose he has developed a greater appreciation for the...

(a) Trustees, receivers or managers of any property, including debtors in possession, may be sued, without leave of the court appointing them, with respect to any of their acts or transactions in carrying on business connected with such property. Such actions shall be subject to the general equity power of such court so far as the same may be necessary to the ends of justice, but this shall not deprive a litigant of his right to trial by jury.
(b) Except as provided in section 1166 of title 11, a trustee, receiver or manager appointed in any cause pending in any court of the United States, including a debtor in possession, shall manage and operate the property in his possession as such trustee, receiver or manager according to the requirements of the valid laws of the State in which such property is situated, in the same manner that the owner or possessor thereof would be bound to do if in possession thereof.

McDermott Scores 35 As Men's Basketball Stays Perfect in BIG EAST Play
OMAHA, Neb. - Doug McDermott showed no signs of a sprained shoulder, scoring 35 points as Creighton men's basketball won its ninth straight game in an entertaining 95-89 slugfest over Xavier on Sunday before 17,589 fans.
Creighton improved to 14-2 and is tied for first in the BIG EAST with a 4-0 mark. Xavier dropped to 13-4 and 3-1. Both teams entered the contest with eight-game win streaks.
McDermott's 35 point game was the sixth time this season he's reached the 30-point barrier, and 20th time in his career. The two-time First Team All-American also moved from 36th to 28th in NCAA history with 2,616 career points, passing legendary names such as Jimmer Fredette, Joe Dumars, Don MacLean, Mark Macon and Calbert Cheaney in the process.
Xavier came out firing, sinking four three-pointers in the first 129 seconds before a stunned crowd, taking an early 12-0 lead. McDermott answered with a pair of trifectas to help CU get within 15-8, only to see Matt Stainbrook scored twice and Semaj Christon once to give the Musketeers their biggest lead of the day at 21-8.
Sparked by a reserve unit that included Devin Brooks, Will Artino and Isaiah Zierden, the Bluejays battled back. CU embarked on a 15-1 spurt that included three triples to take its first lead at 23-22 on a trey from Ethan Wragge.
The teams traded two more times before Creighton took the lead for good 38-35 with 1:27 left in the first half on another Wragge trey. Creighton led 39-35 at the half in a fast-paced half that saw both teams sink seven three-point shots.
NOTES: Before falling behind 12-0 to start the game, Creighton hadn't trailed at home since Nov. 23rd (Tulsa), a span of 220:07 of gametime ...Creighton improved to 23-15 all-time at CenturyLink Center Omaha when falling behind by 10 or more points ...Creighton's 13-point deficit was its largest at home in the past two seasons ...Will Artino's eight rebounds tied a career-high and were a season-best ...Creighton has now won 22 straight games when Jahenns Manigat makes more than 50 percent of his three-point attempts ...Creighton also owns 22 straight wins when Manigat makes three or more three-pointers ...Avery Dingman made his first career start and threw down his second career dunk ...Creighton has won 100 straight home games when scoring 78 or more points and 62 straight at all sites when scoring 90 or more points.

Like the monastery formerly located here, the museum is a place for knowledge, culture and encounter. The site and the architecture, which attest to 1,000 years of construction history, form an integral part of the museum. The imposing minster, the idyllic herb garden and the largest cloister in Switzerland open to the public also form part of the whole area. A visit to the museum, therefore, is a visit to a place with a very special atmosphere.

the answer is
x = 0.5, try again.
It did not work. I will try again.
the answer is
x = 0.5, try again.
It's not working. I either get 3=16x or 3=16x^2
First the bonus points:
1 2
--- + --- = 2
2x 4x
notice that this is the same as the above
1 1
--- + --- = 2
2x 2x
--- = 2
4x = 2
x = 0.5
that was for the bonus points:
Here goes the universial method:
4x 4x
--- + --- = 2
8x² 8x²
---- = 2
16x² = 8x
16x = 8
x = 0.5
I'm begining to think you are jerking my chain.
I don't know how to do that. That was not easy it is very hard. I did not understand anything on your last post. I have to tell you something that i never told you before. I'm a slow learner and i have a learning disability. How did i make it through algebra 1, 2 years ago it beats me.
Get tutoring, that's all I can say - it's MUCH easier to understand if you get tutoring in person.
Yo hold up. I got something better. Do you use yahoo messenger?? There is something called doodle it's and IMVironment where you could draw out your problems and answers. I use yahoo. I know i'm going to need a tutor when it comes down to Analytic Geometry & Calculus 1, 2 and 3. Also Linear algebra. Please reply back. Thanks.
[quote author=Lovechild link=board=14;threadid=7355;start=30#msg67884 date=1058025366]
"crossed over"
1 * 2x 4*(x-1)
-------- + ----------- = 10
(x -1)*2x 2x*(x-1)
Now we do the math - nothing changes but appearences
2x 4x - 1
--------- + ----------- = 10
2x² - 2x 2x² - 2x
Not to piss anyone off or anything, but this action should give a result of:
2x 4x - 4
--------- + ----------- = 10
2x² - 2x 2x² - 2x
So I guess the result in that one, isn't what you ended up with.
And in the end you'll end up with solving the roots of a second degree equation, like 0=ax²+bx+c
Which either can have only one solution, two solutions or no solution at all.
The way to find these is by using the formular:
-b +- sqrt(b²-4ac)
x = ------------------------
If (b²-4ac) gives a negative value, it has no solution, atleast not within the number group R, but if we use Z, then it has.
WTF... did I miscalculated also... oh I'm so embarrased now.
oh it's a minor typo I see, I should have catched that as well.
I think the Z domain is a tad out of scope for the project at hand, but true it's an awesome tool.
But you are of course correct about that root solving thing, I'm guessing I'm chalk this up to picking a bad example, it was maybe a tad to advanced (even for me it seems - I glad stumbled into the common trap, forgetting prior knowledge)

I can't believe it's almost Chanukah! Didn't we just put away our sukkah?!
When we moved to Israel, one of my favorite new traditions to adopt was making of sufganiyot, instead of latkes (levivot), on Chanukah.
One year, my friend and I offered to make sufganiyot for the Chanukah party at our kids' gan (preschool). It seemed like a lovely idea at the time. Two hours into the deep frying, we were having some regrets! Eventually, we finished all 200 sufganiyot (we made them slightly larger than donut hole size) and they truly were delicious. Even the sabras asked for the recipe.
Aside from a great (if somewhat patchked) recipe, the sufganiyot were also especially good because we figured out a great way to fill them with jelly. We got a 10 mL syringe from the pharmacy and filled it 4-5 cc's with seedless, ever-so-slightly watered down strawberry jelly. Then we inserted the tip of the syringe into the side of the donut — and let it rip!
My kids love helping with this part now, and even my littlest one can push the button on the syringe. I'm sure it's not a completely novel idea, but it's definitely our favorite Chanukah hack. Oh, and our other "hack"? Buying a deep fryer. My husband thinks it's absolutely essential. I'm not sure I'd go that far, but it definitely makes the frying process easier and faster.
- 1 T dry yeast
- 4 T white sugar
- 3/4 c lukewarm milk or water
- 2-1/2 c white flour
- 1 t cinnamon
- 2 eggs, separated
- 2 T butter or margarine
- Strawberry jam (the kind without seeds), ribat chalav (caramel), or chocolate spread
- Powdered sugar
- Vegetable oil — lots and lots of it
- Syringe or pastry tube
Mix yeast with 2 tablespoons of sugar and milk or water. Let it sit until bubbles form.
Sift flour and mix in remaining sugar, cinnamon, egg yolks and yeast mixture.
Knead dough until ball forms. Add butter/margarine, and continue kneading until absorbed.
Cover the dough with towel and let it rise overnight in the refrigerator.
Roll out the dough to a thickness of about 1/8 – 1/4-inch. Using a juice glass or 2-inch round cookie cutter, cut dough into 24 rounds. Let them rise for another 30 minutes.
Heat at least 2 inches of oil in a large pan to about 375 degrees. (Or use a deep fryer — much simpler!) Drop the doughnuts into the hot oil, about five at a time. Turn them to brown on both sides. Drain on paper towels.
When cool enough to handle, use a syringe or pastry tube to pipe jelly into the center of the donut. Sprinkle with powdered sugar and enjoy!
What's your favorite Chanukah recipe? Are you a sufganiyot person? Or do you prefer latkes? Perhaps your family has another favorite oily treat! Share your favorite recipe in the comments section.
Since this is the last Friday in November, I will pick the name of the winner of the Target gift card on December 1st – the first night of Chanukah! If you want to be entered into the drawing, just make sure you leave a recipe on this post (or any of my other Recipe Exchange posts).
Shabbat Shalom!

SYRACUSE The Syracuse University football team will begin its first season in the Atlantic Coast Conference with conference home games against Clemson, Wake Forest and two former Big East rivals, Pittsburgh and Boston College.
The ACC on Monday released its schedule, the first that includes new members SU and Pittsburgh.
The Orange, under new head coach Scott Shafer, will host Clemson in its ACC opener on Oct. 5. Other ACC Carrier Dome games come against Wake Forest (Nov. 2), Pittsburgh (Nov. 23) and Boston College (Nov. 30).
Syracuse, which finished 7-5 last season with a victory in the Pinstripe Bowl, will play ACC road games against North Carolina State (Oct. 12), George Tech (Oct. 19), Maryland (Nov. 9) and Florida State (Nov. 16).
The Orange has a bye on Sept. 28 before the conference schedule begins.
Five of SUs ACC opponents Clemson, N.C. State, George Tech, Florida State and Boston College received bowl invitations last season. Clemson and defending ACC champion Florida State both went 7-1 in the conference.
Syracuses nonconference schedule includes home games against Wagner College (Sept. 14) and Tulane (Sept. 21). The Orange plays on the road at Northwestern on Sept. 7, and begins the season against Penn State on Aug. 31 in the New Yorks College Classic at MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, N.J.

Kelly Hudson, Psychology
Kelly HudsonPsychology Alumni 2007
"Nothing about Saybrook is traditional," says Kelly Hudson. "Nothing about Saybrook is basic. I was able to go on school, still work, still help people, and get better at it while I got my degree. It fit me perfectly."
Kelly never imagined she'd find a school that fit. The odds were daunting: all she had to go on was a childhood dream of being a counselor.
"But only three or four of my family members had even gone to college, and I didn't know how I would do that, or how that could be a part of my future," she remembers. "My mom, growing up, would always tell me: 'you can be anything you want!' and I would think 'yeah, what do you know? You never graduated high school.'"
Kelly went to college for the first time in 1986, after her mother died. "My church gave me the opportunity to go by paying for some of my tuition, and I decided: 'this is it, I'm going to do it!'"
She declared psychology her major – but it wasn't that easy. Life can be hard for even the most determined dreamer, and over the next few years Kelly found herself dropping out, coming back, and ending up on a graduation stage … but with a major in Business.
That was a mixed triumph, but it left her all the more hopeful that she could eventually get a degree in psychology … and with all the more need for one.
By this point she and her partner were child care providers, and found themselves increasingly called upon for expertise. "You're not just working with the children," she says. "From the moment that clock strikes 7 to the moment everyone goes home, you're working with families in need all day, and a lot of them are first time parents asking things like 'how do I help her sleep at night?' or 'his grandmother just passed away, what do I tell him?' So I decided I needed to go right back to school to get that psychology degree, become a counselor, and be the person they can depend on – the person who has the answers."
She found Saybrook by accident. "It just popped up midway through the search, and I realized it fit me as a person: it was personalized, it was psychology about people."
The program was everything she'd hoped for. "My master's was perfect for me. I had been in business already about 10 years, and the professor that I had actually tailored their classes to what I was doing and needed to learn - every assignment I did for my M.A. had an affect on what I'm doing now with the business because my professors really cared about who I am as a person and how the education I was getting would work with what I wanted to do."
Saybrook helped her transform her business, and made her much more confident about being the person families turn to for advice.
"Now I'm getting questions not just about people's children, but about communication with their spouses, with other relatives. I get teased now that I should charge for answering emails from parents that ask for advice – but I don't because that's part of the atmosphere I'm trying to create. My experience at Saybrook has played a critical role in our reputation, in the kind of service I provide, people know when they come here that they can ask these questions with confidence. That's fantastic."
It's also changed her life in other ways – introducing her to life long friends, including her best friend – and taking her closer to her next dream: she's now pursuing her PhD at Saybrook.
"I'll be the first PhD in my family, and it's because people believed in me," she says. "I can't believe it: a dream that I had some 35 years ago is almost a realization. Now I have work to do for those who are coming behind."

WASHINGTON (WUSA9) -- President Obama met with hand-picked Republican senators at a Jefferson Hotel dinner Wednesday night in an effort to find compromise on budget issues that could end the across-the-board budget cuts known as sequester that began earlier this month.
Leaving the meeting Arizona Republican Senator John McCain gave a thumbs up, calling the meeting fine, great and wonderful.
"The group was put together by Senator Lindsey Graham of South Carolina and the White House point of view is that they want to reach out and see if they can figure out a way to forge some compromises over some of these big issues facing the Obama administration and the congress," said Chicago Sun Times Washington bureau chief Lynn Sweet.
The senate, as we all know, is controlled by Democrats but because of how things work, you still need Republicans in order to get anything passed.
"We know from Speaker (John) Boehner that on the very big issues out there from sequester to budget, and gun issues , he wants the legislation to start in the senate, so Obama is going to be meeting with the Republicans and Democrats from the House and the Senate next week. The dinner at the Jefferson Hotel is just a precursor to what the White House plans as a series of meetings with lawmakers," Sweet told WUSA9.
There has been criticism lately from Republicans that he isn't meeting with them.
"This helps address it, so if there is some compromise out there that could come of this outreach, the Obama Administration wants to try it. They don't expect any deals coming out of this Jefferson Hotel meeting with these senators but they think, maybe, they could plant seeds that could grow into something," Sweet said.

CANTON A St. Lawrence University group is seeking financial help to tie together the loose ends left behind by global mainstream media.
The Weave, an alternative-news website started by students in one of John M. Collinss global studies classes, is raising money on the Internet to help support its bloggers, to host events and to buy equipment for an interview studio.
Students became frustrated with critiquing the mainstream media, Mr. Collins said. We came up with an idea for a blog-based online news operation, focusing on the investigation of underreported stories.
The group is using crowd-sourcing site IndieGoGo to raise funds in small increments. So far it has raised $500 of its $5,000 goal.
Though Mr. Collins, chairman of St. Lawrences global studies program, maintains the role of project director and contributes a blog to the site, the Weave is run mostly by students and alumni.
Weavers are diverse, said Lukasz W. Niparko, public relations coordinator. They believe media should be democratic, that stories and peoples should have equal representation. Most media is owned by big corporations and is purely profit driven.
The students believe that the mainstream media fail to adequately report important stories around the globe, including the use of solitary confinement in American prisons, the establishment of ethnic and religious segregation in Israel and the controversy over the policies of late Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez.
In our interviews, we ask about underreported stories, blogger Tzintzun Aguilar-Izzo said. Almost everyone has a different answer. There are thousands of underreported stories.
One reason stories are allowed to fall through the cracks is the focus on national and parochial political battles on cable news and on social media, Mr. Aguilar-Izzo said.
We do exist in a world where things go viral, he said. The Weave moves through human connection. Were creating a web of familiar people you know the people. I think to some degree that makes it more powerful.
The Big Question, an interview series curated by Mr. Aguilar-Izzo, asks guest thinkers to opine on controversial issues, then posts their answers to the site. The feature includes personalities such as late New York Times reporter Anthony Shadid, Indian physicist and activist Vendana Shiva and journalist and environmentalist Bill McKibben discussing climate change, gender equality issues and the survival of capitalism, among other issues.
Were building a huge archive of short responses to important questions, Mr. Collins said. We make this stuff available. If someone is teaching a class or writing a blog, they can link to these statements.
The group uses blogs to disseminate information, for the most part eschewing media such as print and radio, and leaving behind the traditional reporters creed of credibility through objectivity.
The Weave believes credibility cannot exist because we are all people with the luggage of experiences, Mr. Niparko said. We seek what you think about things. The objectivity is there, but it is your objectivity.
Alison L. Paludi, a Duanesburg native, said the group accepts contributors from off campus in the north country and around the world.
We look for people from a variety of backgrounds, she said. We have a simple process for people who want to submit, but first they have to check out the website.
The organization needs money to keep up with changing technology, Mr. Niparko said.
In the mainstream media you see change happening over the years, slowly, from the printing press to the Internet to tablets, he said. Change to alternative media happens daily we learn how to blog, we learn how to edit video, we educate, and education needs tools.
The funds they raise will help expand the project, Ms. Paludi said.
It will help put the Weave on a different level, she said. We will get a professional interview room. We want to provide bloggers with some sort of fellowship or grant opportunity so they can travel. This will set us apart from whats been done in the past.
The students generally present their viewpoints from a liberal perspective, but Mr. Collins said bloggers of all political beliefs are welcome.
We would be accepting of anybody, he said. Anybody who could make a case that they have a story which has been underreported.
The fundraising campaign ends April 14. To donate to the Weave, visit www.indiegogo.com/projects/the-weave-mediocracy-unspun?c=home.

Still don't understand why the uninformed want to force their opinions on everyone. That includes layout blinds as well as gun control and abortion and taxes and religion......
John Cottenham aka jacduck in many circles before the internet
"Duck hunter's minds are like concrete. All mixed up and permanently set."
I don't think they should be outlawed, but I think the FT committee should evaluate and approve the use before allowing a setup to proceed using them. Throwing a bird from a layout blind is the worst job you can have, and I for one won't do it. I do understand the usefulness in some areas, so prohibiting them isn't the answer. I'll be in a layout blind in NE Arkansas this weekend, but it ain't at a Field Trial!
Main thing that happens around here is birdboy ends up wet,or has red ants invade the layout blind after crumbs or snacks the birdboy may have.

The USO has fulfilled its mission to lifts the spirits of America's troops and their families for over seven decades. Building on our legacy and sustaining the vitality of the USO takes the collaboration of talented individuals across disciplines.
The USO corporate offices are located in Arlington, Va. The departments that work in Arlington provide support for USO operations located worldwide. When we talk about operations worldwide, the department name we use is "Field Operations."
In this section, you will find summary information about each department, as well as the job titles we employ in each area.
Field Operations staff comprise those USO employees who run a USO Center or members of the regional leadership teams who provide guidance and direction. These USO employees are at the "tip of the spear" for delivering the USO mission, as they work tirelessly to deliver the services, programs and smiles that are the hallmarks of a USO Center.
USO Field Operations are divided in to four geographic territories.
Here is a list of job titles most frequently used for the positions in Field Operations worldwide:
In Field Operations, it is important to note that with few exceptions, we will recruit from the immediate area where the center or regional office is located.
Therefore do not relocate new hires for the vast majority of Field Operations positions.
The Operations team in Arlington provides leadership, guidance and support to Field Operations. Priorities of the Operations team include reporting and maintaining metrics on center level activities, logistics and planning for opening of new USO centers, facilitating communication and information flow throughout the four regions, and system wide program and policies on volunteer management. You can think of Operations as "command central."
Here is the list of job titles in Operations:
The Development team is the fundraising arm of the USO. When you consider the fact that the USO is a private, non-profit organization and relies entirely on donations to fund operations and programs, you can appreciate how talented our Development team is and needs to be.
Development is organized along these channels of fundraising activities: Corporate Alliances; Fundraising and Development; Regional Development; Major Gifts; Online Development.
Here is a list of job titles in Development:
See the news about the latest USO show? Then you saw the Entertainment and Programs team in action. All planning and logistics for USO shows and programs start with this department. Whether it is recruiting celebrities to support the USO mission, staging a show in Afghanistan or planning a new program to roll out at our centers to lift the troops' spirits, our Entertainment and Programs team is behind the scenes making it happen.
Here is a list of job titles in Entertainment and Programs:
The USO has an extensive Marketing and Communications team, charged with vital internal and external communications, brand management, and website management. Media placement, brand recognition, brand materials, special events, PSA's and telling the USO story — in print, digitally, and through all online channels — are priorities of this creative and talented team.
Here is a list of job titles in Marketing and Communications:
For the USO IT team, the challenge is not just meeting the technology needs and data management needs of the internal staff for a global organization. They must also deliver the technology required at our centers where troops rely on the USO for connectivity, games and a link back home. Ever manage a database with more than one million donors or stand up a satellite system in Afghanistan? That's all in a typical day for IT at the USO.
Here is a list of job titles in Information Technology:
The Human Resources team strives to take care of "the troops who serve the troops." The HR team recruits talent to the organization, manages employment policies and practices, orchestrates training and development and negotiates and administers employee compensation and benefits programs.
Here is a list of job titles in Human Resources:
In a non-profit organization, you must maximize every dollar. Here at the USO, we call that being a good steward of the donor dollar. Monitoring the financial health of the organization, reporting both internally and externally on financial activities, running payroll, accounting for every dollar received and every dollar spent, running sophisticated financial models and ensuring that the USO is financially strong is all on the watch of Accounting and Finance.

Sharing Memories (Week 9): Darn Those Measles and other Childhood Illnesses!
If you are just joining us, you can take a peek at the last two years' of prompts by clicking on the Sharing Memories tab at the top of the blog. You can jump in at any time and you can skip topics that you don't like. There are no rules, it's all about getting your memories down on paper. The prompts are just a guide to help if you are stuck.
Share your memories here in the comment section, on your own blog, or privately in a journal you keep at home.
I've always had health issues and a recent flare-up of a chronic condition got me thinking about all the childhood illnesses I had. I'm sure many of you suffered from the same things - measles, chicken pox....
What childhood illnesses do you remember having as a kid? What about your parents or grandparents? Did they ever share stories of any childhood diseases that our lucky children never had due to vaccinations?
I do remember getting measles. I woke up one morning covered with red bumps on my chest. I was about 7 years old and thought I was getting breasts like my older sister! She called them her boobs and I was pretty excited about having my own until my mother took a look and sighed, saying "You've got the measles" I was pretty disappointed.
Chicken pox also struck our house and I vaguely recall being sick and feeling horrible for a few days.
There was a big polio scare when I was about 8 or 9 and all the swimming pools were closed. Lots of public outings were discouraged, such as going to the movies where there were crowds.
A year later all the schools had their students line up to eat a sugar cube with something on it. We were told by the doctors and nurses giving these out that this would protect us from polio. That was when the polio vaccine was first developed and I think it was live vaccine drops on the sugar cubes that we were given. Later we got injections of the vaccine.
Those are the only big diseases I remember (not counting the migraines I began experiencing at age 10) My Grandmother told me she had rickets as a child. We don't hear much about such diseases any more.
My oldest son had whooping cough as a four year old and was in hospital for several days. He and many other four year olds in our small town all developed whooping cough that same year and word got around that it was from bad vaccine given when they were all babies. True? I don't know.

What a good idea to document these out of interest to coming generations if nothing else. Must ask mom what she can remember. Never thought to ever ask her! Thanks for the idea. I can't wait to talk to her on our weekly chat. :)
- Cassmob (Pauleen) said...
I think I'll have to get organised and write on this memory -you're right, luckily these days kids are largely immunised against them. I was interested in your migraines at 10 as mine were similar.
- Lorine McGinnis Schulze said...
Pauleen - yes, who knows how long I'd be experiencing migraines before then - I just remember them from that age on. Horrible things - by the time I was late teens, early 20s I was getting them 3 or 4 times a week.
They didn't taper off and become manageable until many decades later.I hope yours are not too bad!
- Lorine McGinnis Schulze said...
Welcome Shirley! You will probably learn lots of new things from your mom. I've started recording my 87 yr old aunt's stories - and she tells me things about my mom and grandparents I never knew.
I hope you will join us and begin documenting your own family memories.
- Helen Spencer said...
I remember the sugar cubes! I also recall my brother had Mumps very young. At school (in the UK) our left arms were out of action for a week after we lined up for one of those teen mammoth multiple needles-in-one vaccinations. The further down the alphabet you were, the longer you had to wait and more nervous you got!

SLUs MacDonald Named Goalie of the Week
CANTON - St. Lawrence University sophomore goalie Carmen MacDonald has been named ECAC Hockeys Goaltender of the Week for her play against nationally-ranked No. 9 Northeastern and No. 5 Boston College.
MacDonald posted her first shutout of the season against the Huskies in an impressive 6-0 win at Appleton Arena. The Pictou, NS native added a season-high 36 saves, including 12 in the third period, against Boston College the following day.
Carmen really saw the puck well throughout the two games and battled for rebounds that both Northeastern and Boston College had, said St. Lawrence head coach Chris Wells. Last weekend was a solid start for both her and our team.
Joining MacDonald in the leagues weekly honors were Harvards Jillian Dempsey and Dartmouths Ailish Forfar. Dempsey extended her career-long point streak to 27 games with a five-point outing at Union and an assist against Rensselaer to earn Player of the Week. Forfar was tabbed the conferences Rookie of the Week after a three-goal weekend, the first tallies of her collegiate career for the Big Green.
St. Lawrence will play its first ECAC Hockey games of 2013 this weekend when they travel to Yale and Brown on Friday and Saturday, January 11 and 12. The Saints currently stand in fifth place in the league with a 6-2-0 record.
@zAgateSubhead:Potsdam Hockey Duo Earns ECAC Honors
POTSDAM - SUNY Potsdam womens hockey players Kristen Domanski (Brooklin, Ontario) and Alexandra Holowka (Winnipeg, Manitoba) have been recognized by the Eastern College Athletic Conference West for their play during the week ending January 6.
Domanski was named the conferences Rookie of the Week and Holowka earned a spot on the leagues Honor Roll.
Domanski scored her first two collegiate goals to help the Bears win the
2013 DoubleTree Ice Hockey Classic in South Burlington last weekend. The freshman defenseman scored Potsdams first goal of the tourney with a marker just 3:34 into the Bears 6-4 opening win over Nichols College. She then scored the second of her career in the third period of Potsdams 4-1 victory over host Saint Michaels on Saturday. Domanski has played in all 14 games of the Bears contests this season and has two goals and two assists for four points.
Holowka had a four-point weekend for the Bears as they swept the Bison and Purple Knights in Vermont. Against Nichols, the forward recorded three assists to help Potsdam to the win. The following afternoon, the sophomore notched the game-winning goal in the second period of the Bears victory over Saint Michaels. Holowka has played in all of Potsdam games in
2012-13 and has three goals and four assists for seven points.
@zAgateSubhead:Pierce Named Player of the Week
POTSDAM - SUNY Potsdam mens basketball player Curtis Pierce (Brooklyn, N.Y.) has been named the State University of New York Athletic Conference Player of the Week for the week ending Jan. 6.
Curtis Pierce led the Bears to a 1-1 record during a tough non-conference slate. The senior posted a career-high 30 points in an exciting 86-80 comeback win over Manhattanville College. Pierce nearly missed a double-double performance and hit several key shots in the contest. The Brooklyn native then scored 23 points to put his team in contention with the No. 10 ranked Ramapo Roadrunners. He averaged 26.5 points and eight rebounds per game on the weekend.
This year, Potsdams captain leads his team in scoring with 17.5 ppg, steals (24), and is second in rebounds (5.7). Pierce is currently in sole procession of 15th place on the Bears all-time scoring list with 1190 points. He is only 83 points shy of cracking the top 10 in career scoring.
Also, the senior has amassed 608 rebounds for his career, which puts him
25 boards away from becoming one of the 10 best Potsdam rebounders.
The Bears (4-6, 1-3 SUNYAC) hit the road as they resume SUNYAC play with Brockport and Geneseo this weekend. Potsdam takes on the Golden Eagles at
8 p.m. on Friday and the Knights at the 4 p.m. on Saturday.
@zAgateSubhead:Clarksons Loggins Rookie of the Week
POTSDAM - Since the last awards were given in late-December, freshman Ashley Loggins (Albany, NY) of the Clarkson University womens basketball team has averaged better than 20 points per game, and her performance over that span was rewarded as she was selected the Liberty League Rookie of the Week.
Since the conclusion of the winter break, Loggins has scored 82 points and grabbed 55 rebounds, producing four double-doubles in four games. Her top performance came on Saturday when she tallied 26 points and 18 rebounds.
Loggins currently ranks fourth in the Liberty League in scoring (17.7 ppg), second in rebounding (11.1 rpg) and sixth in steals (2.3 spg). Although the sample size is small, she leads the conference in scoring (25.5 ppg), rebounding (16.0 rpg) and steals (4.0 spg) in league contests.
The freshman forward is currently on pace to set several new standards among newcomers at Clarkson. Through 10 games, Loggins has 177 points and the freshman record for points in a season is 297, set in the 1991-92 season by Stephanie Sealer. She also has 111 rebounds, which is 78 short of the 189 by Sarah Wesner in the 2003-04 campaign.
@zAgateSubhead:SLUs McGovern ECAC Rookie of the Week
CANTON - St. Lawrence University freshman forward Sean McGovern has been named ECAC Hockey Rookie of the Week for the week of Jan. 5 in voting by the leagues coaches.
McGovern, a wing from Milton, ON, becomes the first Saint to win the ECACs weekly rookie honor this season and the third individual to earn a weekly honor. Kyle Flanagan was a two-time Player of the Week and Matt Weninger a two-time Goaltender of the Week earlier this season.
