The Beats - A Graphic History
by Paul Buhle (Editor), Joyce Brabner (Author), Gary Dumm (Illustrator), Mary Fleener (Illustrator), Jay Kinney (Illustrator) — 12 more, Peter Kuper (Illustrator), Jeffrey Lewis (Illustrator), Summer McClinton (Illustrator), Jerome Neukirch (Illustrator), Harvey Pekar (Author), Nancy Peters (Author), Ed Piskor (Illustrator), Trina Robbins (Author), Penelope Rosemont (Author), Nick Thorkelson (Illustrator), Anne Timmons (Illustrator), Lance Tooks (Illustrator)
No current Talk conversations about this book.
An excellent history of the Beat movement. I thought I knew a lot about the authors of this time period but this graphic novel showed me how little I really knew.
I loved this graphic novel!! It was a breathless read and definitely requires multiple re-readings. I get that way with the Beats. Books regarding them are inhaled like some kind of drug, nothing else gets any attention while I'm reading about my Beats.
The Beats: A Graphic Novel briefly covers the live's of the "big three"; Kerouac, Ginsberg and Burroughs. Then it covers a multitude of other topics including the San Francisco "Renaissance" and "Beatnik Chicks," the latter of which captured my soul. This book also covers many artists of the Beat Generation who are not so well known.
If you are at all interested in learning a little something about the Beats, this is a good place to start.
I'm on a Ginsberg kick . . . This biographical look at the intertwining lives of the Beats was an uneven treatment in a cool format.
As varied and uneven as the Beats themselves, this graphic history gives a good sense of their milieux, foibles and accomplishments. The minor figures are of particular interest.
All of the histories are interesting and look beautiful. Particularly the history of Beat women and their relationships with so-called heroes of the generation. Very real and poignant.
Where Pekar et al succeed is in their addressing the lesser but still important figures of the Beat movement.
The Beats: A Graphic History is everything a radical history should be: critical, admiring, quirky and apologetic.

Amazon.com Product Description (ISBN 0809094967, Hardcover)
In The Beats: A Graphic History, those who were mad to live have come back to life through artwork as vibrant as the Beat movement itself. Told by the comic legend Harvey Pekar, his frequent artistic collaborator Ed Piskor, and a range of artists and writers, including the feminist comic creator Trina Robbins and the Mad magazine artist Peter Kuper, The Beats takes us on a wild tour of a generation that, in the face of mainstream American conformity and conservatism, became known for its determined uprootedness, aggressive addictions, and startling creativity and experimentation.
What began among a small circle of friends in New York and San Francisco during the late 1940s and early 1950s laid the groundwork for a literary explosion, and this striking anthology captures the storied era in all its incarnations—from the Benzedrine-fueled antics of Kerouac, Ginsberg, and Burroughs to the painting sessions of Jay DeFeo's disheveled studio, from the jazz hipsters to the beatnik chicks, from Chicago's College of Complexes to San Francisco's famed City Lights bookstore. Snapshots of lesser-known poets and writers sit alongside frank and compelling looks at the Beats' most recognizable faces. What emerges is a brilliant collage of—and tribute to—a generation, in a form and style that is as original as its subject.
(retrieved from Amazon Thu, 12 Mar 2015 18:07:18 -0400)
This revelatory and exhilarating and funny book not only tells us of the Beat generation, but of a time when we as individuals felt truly free. It is as fresh and pertinent as the latest scholarly history only far more entertaining--Studs Terkel.

Not sure what connection you're trying make, but sneering has nothing to do with it. WOK is conceptually weak. Its entire plot teeters over a massive chasm of contrivance. It relies heavily on wizardry to create (and resolve) conflict. And the wishy-washy theme stumbles in several parts to the inevitable point where the conceit contradicts the set-up.
The story is moving; the drama is engaging; the action is snappy; the moral strikes a chord; Montalban is a BAMF, all that stuff. But to appreciate any of that, you pretty much have to turn your brain off the second Chekov flips the belt buckle and realizes he's a double dumbass who's forgetful and can't count to six.
Yeah but most of ST relies on contrivance. Step on a butterfly in 2200 and the Alpha Quadrant gets destroyed in half a dozen ways.
I don't care that Chekov wasn't in season one, or that no one did actually bother to check up on Khan, or that Chekov (as you rightly point out) can't count to six or that Kirk possibly didn't even record the whole damn thing.
I care that Kirk never learned to lose and that Spocks death hurts that much more for it. I care that Meyer ingeniously has a clock-ticking sound going in the 'condo scene'. And that he got out of Shatner a level of acting we hadn't seen in 15 years.
But I respect your opinion.

While the CW is a direct descendant of the WB, ABC Family is the obvious heir apparent when it comes to family programming.
That's why it couldn't be more perfect that Zap2it is reporting "Dawson's Creek" actor Kerr Smith has landed a plum role on the newest jewel in the cable network's crown: "The Fosters."
Spoiler Alert: In season 2, Smith will play the biological father of Callie (Maya Mitchell), who learned in the previous finale that the man she thought was her dad in fact was not.
Smith played Jack McPhee, one of the first openly gay regular characters on TV, on five seasons of "Dawson's Creek."
After the show ended in 2003, he recurred on "Charmed" and had a regular role on the CW's short-lived "Life Unexpected."
The second season of "The Fosters" will debut on Monday, June 18 at 9pm on ABC Family. Do you see the family resemblance? Share your take in the comments!

combine todoist and wedoist together

In the mean time I have todoist/wedoist account, and paid as a pro member, may I consolidate two accounts as one?
All responses
Replied on Aug 29, 2012 - 06:38 UTC
Hello Bill,
unfortunately, there's currently no interaction possible between a Todoist and a Wedoist account, but this is a feature we're going to implement in the future making both products interchangeable and allow you to manage Todoist tasks from Wedoist and vice-versa.
Best regards,
Replied on Sep 09, 2012 - 16:16 UTC
Would be very nice. Having problems combining those two.
Best regards,

Tom Craddock's highly impressive County Championship debut for Essex, in which he took four second innings wickets in victory over Division Two pacesetters Northamptonshire at Chelmsford, has greatly improved his aspirations of winning a professional contract with the county.
The 21-year-old leg-spinner's first victim was Andrew Hall, bowled attempting to sweep, before he added the scalps of Chaminda Vaas, Lee Daggett and James Middlebrook to earn himself figures of four for 70.
The Huddersfield-born player, who joined Essex on a two-month trial at the start of June, had impressed head coach and fellow Yorkshireman Paul Grayson when playing for the Unicorns against Essex in two Clydesdale Bank 40 matches earlier this season.
Having taken seven wickets for Essex Second XI against Sussex just a few days before, Craddock continued his fine form when given his first team chance. "I was delighted with the way things went and to play my part in helping Essex to victory was obviously very satisfying," said Craddock.
"I came into the game full of confidence after taking those wickets for the seconds but playing for the first team was an altogether different experience. That first wicket is always going to mean something special. In fact, I didn't mean the ball to go where it did but, luckily enough, it bowled the batsman round his legs, so it was a bit fortunate.
"Generally, however, the ball was coming out well all the time and so I have to be satisfied with my overall performance."
Craddock has spent the past three seasons playing for Leeds/Bradford as part of the MCC Universities programme, while he also took 72 wickets for his club side Holmfirth in the Drakes Premiership last summer. Now, he feels ready to move into the professional game.
"My ambition has always been to play county cricket and I've had trials here and there, but when I got a solid offer from Essex I snapped their hands off and to get a Championship debut so soon is a dream. They are a good, strong county and it's a good dressing room to be in with a number of good and experienced professionals and other young lads like myself trying to make their way in the game.
"Paul Grayson has shown a lot of faith in me so I want to repay him. Hopefully, I can be with Essex through until the end of the season, get a lot more wickets and see what happens after that."
Essex have been desperately seeking to fill the void left by Pakistan leg-spinner Danish Kaneria, whose contract with the county was not extended at the end of the 2010 season, and Grayson is expecting great things of Craddock.
"I've had my eye on him for some while," he said. "He's definitely got something about him and he looks an exciting prospect. As far as we are concerned it's nothing ventured nothing gained, and it's a good opportunity for him. The more he is exposed to this environment, the better he'll get."

My high-school history teacher refused to buy bananas. We thought he was crazy, but he didn't care. "You don't understand the conditions bananas are picked under," he told us. "Those people are like slaves." This was my introduction to "voting with dollars".
As part of the personal finance Question of the Day Marathon, Penny at Money and Values asks:
Do you involve your values in your money decisions? If so, what are some examples? If not, why not? Define "your values" however you'd like; I'm asking about the principles that are important and meaningful in your life in a broad and general sense, and whether and how you bring those into your financial/money-related choices.
This is a great question. Here are some ways I vote with my dollars:
- I moved my accounts from U.S. Bank to a small local credit union. I get charged less than I did at the bank, and my money stays in the community.
- I get my haircuts from local guys with small shops, never from chains. All my money goes to the guy cutting my hair; there's no corporate "tax". I pay less than I would at Supercuts, and I get to chat about fishing and hunting (about which I know nothing) with crotchety old geezers.
- I rarely eat fast food, but when I do, I choose regional chains like Burgerville and Mike's Drive-In. The food is a little more expensive, but it tastes better and is produced with local ingredients.
- I boycott Regal Cinemas, which has a near-monopoly on theaters in Portland, and which promotes:
- Ads before movies (and now "The Twenty", a twenty-minute video abomination)
- Sixteen-screen megaplexes that only show four different films
- Rapidly-increasing ticket prices
- Crappy candy selection (Twizzlers instead of Red Vines? Give me a break.)
- I shop at Farmers Markets.
- I contribute to charities that are closely aligned with my beliefs. These include First Book, the National Trust for Historic Preservation, the Oregon Historical Society, and my alma mater.
- I always buy whatever kids are selling. I believe it's important to foster entrepreneurship in children, and to encourage confidence.
- I prefer Oregon wines to those produced elsewhere.
My values are involved in most of my financial decisions. They didn't use to be. When I was younger, I bought what was cheapest or shopped wherever was most convenient, regardless of the larger social consequences. I'd make a trip to the local Mega-Mart just because it could save me a couple of bucks. Now I recognize there are values greater than myself. Saving money is important, but it's not the only thing. Now I look for balance.

15 Candidate Interview Reviews Back to all InterviewsSort: Popular Date Difficulty
Associate Business Systems Analyst Interview
I applied online. I interviewed at Epsilon (Irving, TX) in August 2015.
I was contacted for a phone interview which lasted about 20 minutes. The recruiter followed up a couple of days later to schedule a face to face interview. I interviewed with four different managers for 30-40 minutes each (I stayed in the room while they rotated between myself and the other three candidates).
Interview Questions
- When was a time, whether at work or school, where you had to do something you really did not want to do? Answer Question

Associate Business Systems Analyst InterviewNo Offer
Pretty standard on campus recruiting process. I applied through my school's website and was contacted to do an interview on campus at my school's career center about a week later. The recruiter was very friendly and informative and the interview was fairly casual with your standard behavioral questions. Nothing too technical, mostly just about myself and my resume and skills, etc. I have not yet heard back about a second round interview.

I applied through an employee referral. The process took 4+ weeks. I interviewed at Epsilon (Wakefield, MA) in November 2013.
Got into the interview process through a referral, this is how Epsilon prefers to find new hires. First interview was over the phone with an HR rep and it consisted on basic behavioral questions to see if personalities matched. Second interview was an office visit. It consisted of 4 "mini" interviews with managers from different teams who were interviewing for their teams specifically. Questions revolved around whether or not I understood direct marketing, database operations, and Epsilon's history (acquisitions through Alliance Data). Each interviewer had their own personality and questions varied by the their portfolio (Internal, Pharma, Banking, etc.). After about a week, I received an email/call from the HR recruiter who conducted my first phone interview to explain my offer. Offer was standard and competitive in terms of salary and I had about 2 weeks to either accept or decline. Between accepting my offer and my start date (about 1.5 months) I was switched between teams and was not given a reason why.
Interview Questions
- The company will teach you a lot, but experience in marketing (understanding concepts), direct marketing (understanding how it differs that "Mad Men" marketing), and database management will determine which team your put on. Hardest question to answer was "Do you understand Epsilon's business model" which is still tough to answer due to all the recent acquisitions and growth (through Alliance Data) Epsilon is experiencing. Answer Question
I had other offers that subsidized a low salary with relocation compensation. Epsilon offered a higher/more competitive salary but was unable to compensate for relocation (Indiana to Boston).

I applied through college or university. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Epsilon (Wakefield, MA) in April 2014.
I was initially recruited through my school and had a short conversation with someone from HR. It was super relaxed and, as this was one of my first interviews ever, I was put completely at ease. I moved on to the second and final round interview where they invited me and 4 other candidates on site. We had a short 20 minute discussion with two current employees and then moved on to 5-30 minute interviews with employees in various departments. All in all, it was a very comfortable interview process -- no trick questions, and it was very informative. At this point, I actually did not receive an offer. However, I had established a good relationship with my first recruiter who then pointed me in the direction of a position that had opened up in another department. From here I came in for an on-site interview where I met with the two people who would be my supervisors. Again, they were very informative discussions about the position, expectations, and my qualifications - nothing unexpected. There were no case studies and they were mostly behavioral questions with some superficial questions about my comfort with different programs. They gave me a really strict deadline of 9 days to accept/decline the offer, which forced me to speed through some of the other interviews I was going through around that time (in retrospect, this actually helped my job prospects, because other companies started taking me a little more seriously).
Interview Questions
- Why do you want to go to business school? I had never actually thought about the specifics, so be sure to be able to explain your short-term and long-term career goals. Answer Question
Reasons for Declining
I received a number of offers that paid a substantial amount more. The other companies also offered opportunities that were more in line with my long term career goals.

I applied through college or university. The process took 5 weeks. I interviewed at Epsilon (Wakefield, MA) in November 2013.
I first applied through campus recruiting. I then had an interview on campus. This first interview asked me about my experience with SQL, but mostly behavioral. I was emailed a few days later saying I made it to the second round of interviewing. I then went to the Wakefield office where I interviewed with five hiring managers. The questions were mainly behavioral.

I applied through college or university. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Epsilon (Wakefield, MA) in November 2013.
The process started with an on campus interview with one mid-level manager, this was very straight forward, typical behavioral stuff. I was then contacted by a recruiter who scheduled me to come in to their Wakefield office for four 20 minute interviews. My interviews occurred simultaneously with the interviews for three other candidates. We first met with two current BSAs who went over their experiences and the different types of BSA roles at Epsilon. myself and the other interviewees were then split into four different rooms. The interviewers went from room to room, spending 20 minutes with each of us. The interviewers ranged from senior managers to a VP. The questions were still mostly behavioral, but there was a bit of technical question, such as my experience with developing and SQL. The were mostly interested in my experience with teams, how I tackle a problem etc. After the interview i heard back from the recruiter a couple of weeks later with an offer.
Interview Questions
- What type of BSA better suites your interests? Don't worry they explain the differences before hand. Answer Question
Reasons for Declining
I had another offer for a little bit more money in a different field that i found more interesting.

I applied through college or university. I interviewed at Epsilon.
Interviewers were very friendly. I liked that I was interviewed by several people. I learned more about the company/role in my interview and was asked why I thought I would fit in at Epsilon. Interview seemed relaxed, similar to just having a conversation with interviewer. I would recommend taking an interview with Epsilon.

I applied through an employee referral. The process took 2+ months. I interviewed at Epsilon (Wakefield, MA) in November 2012.
I had a quick phone screening followed by two rounds of interview. The phone screening was pretty much information about the company and HR gauging my interest. First round I interviewed with 5 people. Second round I interviewed with 4. Everyone was really friendly and asked the usual behavioral interview questions.

I applied through college or university. The process took a week. I interviewed at Epsilon.
Applied through university's career website (after meeting reps at career fair) and was contacted for a first round interview. There were supposed to be two interviewers but one happened to have a call at the same time as my interview so I only had to deal with one person (this felt like they weren't putting importance on my interview and may have been a disadvantage). The interview was behavioural-based and relatively conversational and interviewer attempted to make it comfortable but seemed very forced.

The on-campus interview is a 2:1 interview - all behavioral based questions. If you have technical skills on your resume, be prepared to talk about them. The second round interview in the office was long - you meet 5 managers for 20 minutes each. They take about 2 weeks to get back to you with an answer.

In github's blog post about how they created the new tree slider, they give this as the code used:
$('#slider a').click(function() {
history.pushState({ path: this.path }, '', this.href)
$.get(this.href, function(data) {
return false
However I don't see how this works? They AJAX request the whole new page, so from
<html> to
</html> inclusive, then seemingly (using a method called 'slideTo'??) put this data into the slider element? Surely then you'd end up with a page within a page (likely with CSS glitches).
How when using AJAX and History API, do you get only the specific section that has changed? Or is it that the html code is replaced (but this is not the case in the above example)?
Where is the actual javascript github uses? And am I right that the example given can't be what is used as it won't work properly?

2011 Award Winners NATURAL FOOD AWARD 2011
Boyles of Dromore - County Down
This award recognises an individual or team, driven by a total commitment to using the very best of fresh, seasonal and mainly local foods – and preparing them simply and with style, to showcase their natural goodness and the quality produce of the locality.
A charming old bar and restaurant in Co Down may seem an unlikely place to find "World Class Food and Wines at affordable prices" but that is the promise from the dedicated team who run this delightful place – and, if you can spare a few moments to look at their website sometime, you'll find many, many reasons to head straight up north and sample their fare.
There are more reasonably priced menus offered, of course, but their £45 Taster Menu gives a true idea of what's special about these people – all ingredients are selected for quality and local production; every county in Northern Ireland is represented and the menu is headed up by a county-by-county analysis of the products used, and their origins.
It's an inspiring read, and the menu that follows is positively mouthwatering – especially if you're lucky enough to have experienced the cooking, which is outstandingly good (but not at all 'cheffy'), with respect for ingredients coming first to make appealing dishes with great flavour and attention to detail.
This superb food is combined with genuine hospitality – and, as promised, affordable prices. We are delighted to present the Natural Food Award 2011 to Boyles of Dromore, Co Down.

Music Video Premiere: Lady GaGa's "Applause"
Great news. A few minutes ago came a new music video by Lady Gaga-The applause. And it really is for me to be so much exciting news because the latest video from Gaga Marry The Night was released almost two years ago. I want to say that applause be compared only with the Born this Way. Because this video is really fantastic, original and a little strange.
In this video we can see a lot of images of Lady Gaga, so much that I even lose it. I think that in this video she surpassed herself. She is wearing a dark hair, a suit made of shells that could cover up two places on her body corporate applause face make-up,short hair and it's only part of it.
Here are some of her images:

Warm, mouth-watering, home-baked sugar cookies are piled high on a white-rimmed plate. Green tea in French, hand-painted teacups are on the dining room table; a hand-painted sugar bowl is nearby to sweeten the sipping. A lace antique tablecloth wraps the room in warmth as Mrs. Barbara Higinbotham sits down to talk with me.
Mrs. Higinbotham is never in a hurry. "Mrs. Higs," as I've come to call her, does not have 100 things to do, or at least she never acts like she does. She only has to do this very present thing and be in the moment with us now. She embodies the art of the welcome, of the present moment.
Mrs. Higs does not have an iPhone 5 S or a laptop or a kindle or a tablet or and an iPad or even a computer for that matter, and she is sharp as a whip and up on every news event. She and Mr. Higinbotham read the print edition of the Corvallis Gazette Times and get their news at 5 p.m. on regular television and not on 24-hour news cable channels.
Mr. and Mrs. Higs do not have cable television and the television in the wood-paneled den of Mr. and Mrs. Higs has antennae with bunny ears. That is the television where Mr. Higs watches all of his football and basketball and baseball games.
My twin boys and my baby boy who tells me he is not a baby anymore like to play Pac-Man on that bunny-eared television set, and that Pac-Man game is the old-fashioned kind, where you shoot at the little Pac-Men with hand-held guns. That Pac-Man video game is slower than slow, but my boys like it anyway.
Through the sliding glass door in the dining room, on the covered porch, I see a white-collared button-down shirt and polyester blue slacks and black socks hanging on a clothesline. The apples overflow in the red wheel barrel near the green barn in front of the creek, which is bordered by tall, overgrown blackberries, which Mrs. Higs makes into homemade blackberry cobbler served with vanilla ice cream.
You hear the hum of the riding lawn mower and you see Mr. Higs in his suspenders and flannel shirt as he takes my twin sons and my baby who is not a baby anymore out on what they call "the tractor." They go in circles around the large, tree-lined, grassy property. Mr. Higs strolls along with my boys and he talks to them and chuckles and encourages them not to go too fast. And this moment is one thousand times better than any shoot-them-up-kill-anything-in-site video games that consume my boys when we are back in suburban Portlandia. This is a different kind of moment.
Firewood is crackling in the brick-encased fireplace in the living room next to the dining room, where Mrs. Higs sits with me and my Rachie and Jeanie. Jeanie has been my best friend since first grade, when we lived in front of Dixon Creek. Mrs. Higs pours me another cup of green tea and she offers me a second sugar cookie, and though my 21st century self tells me I should not have another cookie because I am always on a diet, I decide to indulge anyway, because somehow, a diet does not matter right now, and I savor this sweet conversation and company. We talk and we share stories with one another. How are the kids doing? How are your parents ? Your family? How is school ? Church? The neighborhood? Your writing? How's life?
We speak of days gone by, an era ago.
And I am back on Arthur Circle as a blonde-8-year-old wearing a skirt and button-down shirt. That's where Mrs. Higinbotham and my friend Jeanie lived in a ranch style, three-bedroom blue house and that is where Mrs. Higinbotham would be peering out of the kitchen window watching us play "Na-Na" with Jeanie's two older brothers whom I sometimes had a childhood secret crush on.
We'd holler, "Na-Na" and then run away and Jeanie's brothers and the other neighborhood boys would chase us around Arthur Circle until we wore ourselves out. It's then that we'd all go back into that ranch-style house on Arthur Circle, invited in by the welcome scent of warm sugar cookies and the soft words of Mrs. Higinbotham in the kitchen, greeting us. She'd be smiling and offering us those just-baked cookies on a plate, which she placed on the family room table.
Mrs. Higinbotham was always there. The uber-Mom.
And, while today Mrs. Higinbotham offers us green tea to savor with her sugar cookies, back then, she served those sugar cookies with a tall glass of cold milk.
We were welcome. We still are.

Mohammed Polo furious with continuous Hearts coaching snub
Mohammed Polo says he is disappointed at not being approached for the Hearts of Oak coaching job for the third time.
The former Ghana international has been angling for the job for the past few years but has consistently been overlooked.
He expressed his desire to take over the reigns when CK Akunnor was shown the exit door but officials opted to give the mantle to David Duncan.
Polo, known as the dribbling magician, has voiced out his frustration at his continuous snub for the job.
"I don't know what to say again because I'm tired. They know I can do this job and yet they always overlook me," Polo said
"It looks to me as if I'm being rejected by own family or father. Hearts need someone like me to turn things around.
"I have said this time and number but yet some of the officials have turned a blind eye."
The former Great Olympics trainer is arguably the most technically gifted player ever to emerge from Ghana.

Tampa, Florida -- Kids are coming back to more secure schools in Hillsborough County as the school year begins Tuesday.
After the terrible school shooting at Sandy Hook, Superintendent MaryEllen Elia got Hillsborough's School Board on board with significant security spending.
The district has pledged $1.6 million to secure schools and give them a single access point.
In these schools, kids and parents will still come and go freely during drop-off and pick-up times when the hallways are full of alert teachers.
But during the school day, when teachers and staff are busy with other tasks, visitors will generally have to be buzzed in by an office worker who identifies the visitor using a camera and intercom system.
"We want our parents and our community members to be involved in our schools," Superintendent Elia told 10 News as she started her first day of school for 2013 before sunrise at Hillsborough High School in Seminole Heights.
"But we have to know who's on our campus and we have to make sure our kids are safe all the time -- and they are, in Hillsborough County. We just want to put major emphasis on that."
The School Board, however, did not approve the money for Elia's proposal to continue a temporary program that put school resource officers in all Hillsborough County elementary schools.
Also new this year is innovation in school lunches. It's not just fish sticks and a fruit cup any more.
Hillsborough County is launching a smartphone app with school meal menus and nutrition information.
And, starting next month, students will load up their lunches onto a new kind of tray that was designed by food pros at the district.
It's color-coded with different shapes to guide students to pick the right mix of foods for a healthy meal.
Rectangles of different sizes show how much of each type of food -- grains, protein, dairy, fruits, and vegetables -- go into a balanced lunch.
Grayson Kamm, 10 News

Thank you for visiting my fundraising page!
Donating through this website is simple, fast and totally secure. It is also the most efficient way to support my fundraising efforts.
Many thanks for your support -- and don't forget to forward this to anyone who you think might want to donate too!
I wish someone would tell me what it is That I've done wrong.
Why I have to stay chained up and Left alone so long.
They seemed so glad to have me When I came here as a pup, There were so many things we'd do While I was growing up.
They couldn't wait to train me as a Companion and a friend.
And told me how they'd never fear Being left alone again.
The children said they'd feed me and Brush me every day.
They'd play with me and walk me If only I could stay.
But now the family 'Hasn't time," They often say I shed.
They do not want me in the house Not even to be fed.
The children never walk me. They always say "Not now!"
I wish that I could please them. Won't someone tell me how?
All I had, you see, was love.
I wish they would explain Why they said they wanted me,
then left me on a chain.

Ice Age Archaeology, October 18, 10 am - 4 pm
Seattle – 12,000 years ago residents of the Puget Sound lived in the coldest temperatures the region has ever known. What was their life like? How did they survive in this Ice Age?
On Sun., Oct. 18 from 10 am to 4 pm, Burke Museum archaeologists and other specialists will share their knowledge and showcase artifacts that reveal clues about life during the last Ice Age. Would you survive in the Ice Age? Test your skills! Try the ancient practice of attaching a spear point to a shaft, known as hafting. Discover ancient hunting tools, such as the "atlatl," and see them in action. Touch fossils of giant animals who shared the earth with people during a time when the environment was radically different.
Guest speakers throughout the day will shed light on how archaeologists and others understand the last Ice Age:
11 am Dr. Ben Marwick
Reel versus Real: Prehistoric Archaeology and Ice Age Movies
Ben Marwick, assistant professor of archaeology at the UW, gives an overview of what Hollywood gets wrong (and right!) about life in prehistoric times. Marwick will discuss the recent Ice Age animated film series and show film clips from a range of Hollywood blockbusters.
12:30 pm Roger Fernandes
Stories from Then and Now
Storyteller and member of the Lower Elwha Klallam tribe Roger Fernandes will share stories from the first peoples of Puget Sound and compare phenomena mentioned in the stories with current scientific observations.
2 pm Dr. Donald Grayson
Large Mammal Extinctions in the Ice Age
Around 20,000 years ago North America was home to herds of mammoth, mastodon, and other large mammals. By 10,000 years ago, these animals were gone. UW anthropology professor Dr. Donald Grayson will introduce some of the amazing animals that roamed North America during the last Ice Age and discuss current theories on what or who caused this mass extinction.
Ice Age Archaeology is included with museum admission.

Jan. 29, 2013
Illinois State University will honor 17 faculty members for teaching and research during the Founders Day Convocation at 2 p.m. Thursday, Feb. 21, in the Bone Student Center Brown Ballroom.
Rachel Bowden, Biological Sciences, and Steven Taylor, Marketing, were named the 2012 Outstanding University Researchers. The award goes to faculty whose research has been acknowledged by their peers in the U.S. and internationally.
Virginia Teas Gill, Sociology and Anthropology, and Denise Wilson, Mennonite College of Nursing (MCN), are the 2013 Outstanding University Teachers. The award is given to faculty whose teaching accomplishments are unusually significant and meritorious among their colleagues. Lynn Kennell, MCN, is the Outstanding University Teacher, Category II, for non-tenured faculty.
Research Initiative Award recipients are: Kelly Laurson, Kinesiology and Recreation; Maochao Xu, Mathematics; Sheryl Jenkins, MCN; Paul Nolen, School of Music; Stacy Kelly, Special Education; Michael Doughterty, Sociology and Anthropology; and Dan Ispas, Psychology. The Research Initiative Award is given to faculty members who have initiated a promising research agenda early in their academic careers.
Teaching Initiative Award recipients are: Jennifer Banning, Family and Consumer Sciences; Daniel Breyer, Philosophy; Rose Marshack, Arts Technology, Music, Business; Jennifer Tobias, Mathematics; and Monica Noraian, History. The Teaching Initiative Award is given to faculty members who have shown considerable promise in teaching early in their careers.
Rachel Bowden, Biological Sciences, came to Illinois State University in 2003 after earning her doctorate at Indiana University in 2001 and a postdoctoral assignment at Iowa State University. She obtained tenure and promotion to associate professor in 2009. Her interests center on three areas: steroid hormones, sex determination and early embryonic development; incubation environment; and ecoimmunology.
She has published 31 peer-reviewed journal articles with another three in press and several manuscripts in development. She has received several external grants, including four from the National Science Foundation (NSF) at a time when funding rates dropped from 20 percent to 7 percent. Last year she was awarded a $300,000 NSF grant.
School of Biological Sciences Director Craig Gatto noted that her productivity has accelerated significantly since she received tenure and promotion. "Receiving promotion and tenure did not diminish Rachel's enthusiasm in the least as evidenced by her continued pursuit to garner extramural funding whilst maintaining one of the most robust publication rates in the school," he said.
Steven Taylor has been a faculty member of the Marketing Department for 20 years. He has investigated customers' behavioral intentions associated with various levels of loyalty. He is widely cited in business literature, particularly in service quality and customer satisfaction.
Taylor also is a recognized expert in digital piracy. He served as a principal investigator in ISU's Digital Citizenship Project. His final stream of scholarship is related to marketing pedagogy. He looks at engagement as a measure of educational quality, and the problems inherent in the marketing of higher education. His work supports the notion that quality of education should be related to critical thinking and intellectual development as well as student satisfaction. He engages students in real-world research and special projects leading to presentations with external clients as well as research colloquiums.
His work has been published in some of marketing's best journals and his scholarly record includes 65 refereed or invited scholarly publications, including international workshops for industry practitioners, and grant projects totaling over $110,000. He has been recognized as an outstanding reviewer for leading marketing journals, including the Journal of the Academy of Marketing Science and the Journal of Service Research. He has been a co-editor of the Journal of Consumer Satisfaction, Dissatisfaction & Complaining Behavior. Taylor was awarded the College of Business Teaching Award, recognized twice in the College of Business for Outstanding Research, and serves as the 2012 inaugural Hinderliter Chair of Business.
Virginia Teas Gill, Sociology and Anthropology, received her B.A., M.S., and Ph.D. from the University of Wisconsin, Madison and began her career as an assistant professor at Illinois State University in 1996.
Gill is a medical sociologist whose research focuses on interaction between doctors and patients in a variety of medical settings. Currently, she is analyzing interaction between surgeons and breast cancer patients. She has taught at the graduate and undergraduate levels and has developed several new courses for the undergraduate sociology program, including Sociological Inquiry, which has become a key element of the core sequence for sociology majors.
She has mentored more than 100 students in independent study and thesis projects, research and teaching assistantships, and internships, and she has served as a faculty advisor for Alpha Kappa Delta and the Sociology Club. She has organized teaching workshops and presented on teaching panels at local, national and international conferences, and gives frequent invited lectures.
Gill has received several awards for teaching, including department, college, and university teaching awards at UW-Madison and the 2000-2001 University Teaching Initiative Award and 2006-2007 Outstanding College Teacher Award at Illinois State. Gill is known as a passionate teacher who challenges her students to think analytically, write clearly and develop disciplined work habits.
Denise Wilson, MCN, is an associate professor and the Family Nurse Practitioner (FNP) sequence leader. She received her bachelor of science in nursing from Illinois Wesleyan University, her master of science in nursing from the University of Illinois, and her Ph.D. in educational administration and foundations from Illinois State. She completed the family nurse practitioner post-graduate program at the University of Missouri-Columbia.
She has been teaching nursing since 1980, and joined Illinois State in 1999 when MCN became the University's sixth college. Wilson is nationally certified in three advanced practice nursing specialties: family nurse practitioner, adult nurse practitioner, and gerontological nurse practitioner. She also maintains a part-time clinical practice with 13 physicians where she serves as a role model and clinical preceptor. This allows her to remain current in health care practice and provides case studies she uses to illustrate content.
Wilson has received the MCN Graduate Program Teaching Excellence Award 12 times since 1999, the Outstanding College Teacher Award from MCN in 2002, and the College's Innovative Teaching Award in 2005. Her textbook McGraw-Hill's Manual of Laboratory & Diagnostic Tests has been translated into four languages and is used by nurses and students throughout the U.S., Canada and Europe. She is also a successful grant writer, having obtained $3 million in federal funding since 2002. In 2012, she received grants for more than $1.1 million for nursing workforce diversity, and almost $700,000 for advanced nursing education traineeships. Her greatest joy is helping family nurse practitioner students become the type of health care providers she would want taking care of her family.
Lynn Kennell, MCN, is an instructional assistant professor and has been teaching courses in maternal infant nursing, nursing care of children, and cultural and spiritual dimensions in health care as well as taking students on transcultural experiences in Texas and Chicago's Little Village.
She practiced obstetrics and pediatrics nursing before earning her master's degree in maternal child nursing from Northern Illinois University. She has been passionate about teaching holistic nursing care to students since 1979, and came to Illinois State in 1999. She has received the Kathleen Hogan Teaching Excellence Award several times.
Kennell enjoys "narrative pedagogy" that engages students in learning through case studies and interactive discussions. She has developed clinical simulation scenarios to foster critical thinking and compassionate care in maternal-child health in the simulation laboratory. She supervises students in three area hospitals.
Kennell is working on establishing a transcultural elective for nursing students in Londrina, Brazil. She has had several articles published in the journal Nurse Educator. She is committed to maintaining relationships with alumni and continuing to challenge them to value lifelong learning and advocacy for their patients and families.

The AutomaticQualityFlag is automatically set according to conditions for meeting data criteria in the snow mapping algorithm. In most cases, the flag is set to either Passed or Suspect, and in rare instances it may be set to Failed. Suspect means that a significant percentage of the data were anomalous and that further analysis should be done to determine the source of anomalies. The AutomaticQualityFlagExplanation contains a brief message explaining the reason for the setting of the AutomaticQualityFlag. The ScienceQualityFlag and the ScienceQualityFlagExplanation are set after production, either after an automated QA program is run or after the data product is inspected by a qualified snow scientist.

A huge thank you to everyone who entered my giveaway for a Quilting Arts 2012 calendar. I loved reading your stories about your art quilting memories from 2011! The randomly chosen winner of the calendar is kjheaverlo. If you could please email me at firstname.lastname@example.com by December 16th I will get your calendar in the mail. And please do check back soon if you didn't win; we have more giveaways in the works!
I'd also like to share how excited I am about the December 2011/January 2012 issue of Quilting Arts. I adore the cover by Cynthia St. Charles. Her piece "Chickadees" was a Judge's Choice quilt from our 2012 Calendar Contest. There is a gallery of Judge's Choice quilts in this issue of Quilting Arts.
If forced to choose, I'd have to say that one of my fondest art quilt memories of 2011 was the day all the Quilting Arts calendar entries arrived at our offices. There was such a spectrum of techniques, motifs, and talent represented. So to kick the weekend off right I thought I'd give you a glimpse inside the December 2011/January 2012 issue and post another Judge's Choice quilt from the newest issue of Quilting Arts. It is by Deb Sorem and she has written a lovely description of her inspiration for this piece which is included alongside her quilt in the magazine. The magazine goes on sale on December 6th.
I hope you have a great weekend filled with all things quilting!
Hi I bought the issue and I am enjoying it. I sent a quilt in for the pet peeve challenge and have not received it back. Iwas wondering are they sending them back. Thank you I wish they would have posted all th quilts.
