Kernels of Wisdom
For as long as I can remember, corn has been one of my favorite summertime foods. As a kid, I loved to sit on the picnic table in our backyard shucking ear after ear of the patchwork white-and-pale-yellow Olathe sweet corn my mom would bring home by the bushel. Later I'd slather it with butter and salt and sink my teeth in the way my dog attacks a meaty beef bone.
When I got my braces in fifth grade, I learned to eat corn on the cob one row at a time to minimize the hardware-cleaning process (corn was officially forbidden by the orthodontist, but I really think I outsmarted him on this one; don't ask about my Milk Dud incident). I always thought eating something as nutritious as a fresh vegetable — especially since I loved it so much — was worth it.

Jon Favreau and Vince Vaughn Reteam for Couples Retreat
Posted on Friday, September 19th, 2008 by Peter Sciretta
The movie will tell the story of four couples who go on a couples retreat to a tropical island. Variety lists the logline as follows: "While one couple is there to work on their marriage, the others are there to play but soon discover that participation in the resort's couples therapy is not optional."
Yeah, it doesn't exactly sound like a follow-up to Swingers/Made. I'm hoping the duo will eventually film one last movie to complete that series. Which begs the question, is it really a series if the films are not connected?Cool Posts From Around the Web:

Bringing theatre to Calvin College
Melania Batts, Director of Thespians, 1946–56
While Melania Potratz was a nurse at the Mayo Clinic in Minnesota, Dr., Martin Batts came there to study on a fellowship. According to her daughter Petey Faber, though Melania and Martin's cultural backgrounds were dissimilar, it was love at first sight. Soon after, they eloped.
Martin Batts practiced medicine in Grand Rapids, and then became a faculty member at the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor. During this period of her life, Melania was able to take courses at the university and develop her interest in theater. Martin's untimely death left Melania with three young children. She did not go back to her native Minnesota, but having followed Martin into his "Dutch CR culture", chose Grand Rapids for her home.
One year after Martin's death, Melania Batts became Director of Thespians at Calvin College. Later she would say that having this position was a "sustaining force that helped restore her love affair with life."
Melania Batts developed relationships with other people in the city who shared her interests. Norma Brinks (Civic Theatre) became a great friend. She worked with author, Kent Prell. And then-student, Edgar Boeve, designed extraordinary scenery for one or more of her plays.
Melania's friendships with "her" Thespians persisted long after the decade in which she served at Calvin College. She was the listening ear, the gentle counselor, and the successful match-maker for many grateful college students.
Many years later, Melania settled in a retirement community in Green Valley, AZ, where she took joy in doing beautiful oil paintings and water colors. However, she never lost her interest or skill in drama. At the age of 88, she still performed with a little theater group which put on highly popular productions.

CONCORD -- The Clayton Valley Charter High football team will not be able to play its scheduled season-opening game after a Diablo Valley Athletic League panel found Monday that the Eagles conducted three illegal practice sessions and an illegal scrimmage earlier this month.
The panel found that Clayton Valley held illegal practices June 2-4, also conducting an 7-on-7 passing scrimmage against Diablo Valley College without first receiving special permission from North Coast Section commissioner Gil Lemmon. The panel stripped Clayton Valley of six practice days before the start of the 2014 season, meaning the Eagles can begin practice Aug. 18 instead of Aug. 11.
By NCS rule, teams must have a minimum of 14 practice days before they open their seasons. Clayton Valley will not have enough time to meet that standard before its first scheduled game against Carson-Carson City (Nev.) on Aug. 30 at Del Oro High in Loomis.
Clayton Valley can still play 10 regular season games this year if it can find a team to play against during its scheduled bye in the first weekend of October.
The panel of three DVAL principals also put Clayton Valley on probation for one year, during which time the school must demonstrate that coaches are being instructed on the NCS rules.
Eagles coach Tim Murphy said Monday he thought the summer period began after Clayton Valley's school year ended May 30, but by NCS rules, summer drills can't start until after the final California Interscholastic Federation competition of the spring season. The state track meet ended the season on June 7, which meant football teams could not begin drills until June 9.
"We thought when school was out that we are allowed to start football. That's what it's been," Murphy said. "When our school used to get out on June 14, it would just naturally fall that way."
NCS schools Moreau Catholic, which is in the Mission Valley Athletic League, and Middletown also held illegal football practices and face sanctions by their leagues, according to DVAL commissioner Craig Lee. MVAL commissioner Tom Breen said Monday no decision has been made regarding Moreau Catholic.
Murphy said the football team's summer football schedule has been on the school's website for two months and forms were posted at the school.
The DVAL ruling was based on NCS Bylaw 103H, which states that (teams) must forfeit more days of practice than they gained by starting early. The drill against DVC added extra time to the sanctions.
Murphy hoped the league would take away "like" practice days over the summer, instead of cutting into vital practice time in August when the season is disrupted.
"I'm not trying to blame anyone but me," Murphy said. "Bottom line is it comes down to me, but it was not something we were trying to sneak around or gain an advantage from."
There appears to be confusion in the section about rules relating to practices, especially relating to school-year schedules, which can vary from district to district, and state event dates.
Even Lemmon, thinking that the June 4 state golf tournament ended the spring season, mistakenly gave James Logan permission to host a 7 on 7 passing tournament on June 7 at Laney College. When he realized his mistake, he changed the start of the summer season to June 5, according to the DVAL.

Book Review: Wake Up And Smell The Planet
As serious as we are about the environment, sometimes too much earnestness makes us feel cranky. We enjoyed this read because some of it's refreshingly goofy (workout advice: "Volunteer to lift sacks of bulk grains at your local grocery store"), but also packed with all kinds of great information.
The book is organized as a sort of green guide through an ordinary day. Starting with the morning shower (get a low-flow shower head, don't use disposable plastic razors) and ending with a little sexual healing before bed (try vegan condoms), there are helpful tips and really unexpected bits of information packed into each page.
For instance, do you know what beauty product you should seriously consider giving up (if you haven't already)? According to Grist, it's nail polish -- because of the 10,000 chemicals used in its production (89% of which have not been tested for safety by any independent organization).
This is a great gift for a friend who seems intrigued, although possibly intimidated, by the whole green thing -- or a nice addition to your library if you're looking for a few laughs and some great tips.

The Golden Compass
by Philip Pullman
The Golden Compass Power Quotes
How we cite our quotes: (Chapter.Paragraph)
Quote #1
"Yes, here, man. And I shall need a screen and a projecting lantern, also here, also now."
The Butler could hardly prevent himself from opening his mouth in surprise, but managed to suppress the question, or the protest.
"Wren, you're forgetting your place," said Lord Asriel. "Don't question me; just do as I tell you." (1.94-96)
As we can tell from his treatment of the butler (and his snow leopard daemon), Lord Asriel is an authoritative man that people listen to. What is it about Lord Asriel that makes him so powerful?
Quote #2
Ever since Pope John Calvin had moved the seat of the Papacy to Geneva and set up the Consistorial Court of Discipline, the Church's power over every aspect of life had been absolute. The Papacy itself had been abolished after Calvin's death, and a tangle of courts, colleges, and councils, collectively known as the Magisterium, had grown up in its place. These agencies were not always united; sometimes a bitter rivalry grew up between them. For a large part of the previous century, the most powerful had been the College of Bishops, but in recent years the Consistorial Court of Discipline had taken its place as the most active and the most feared of all the Church's bodies. (2.132)
The Church, too, has great power over the lives of the book's inhabitants. We get the picture from this passage that the Church maintains power by using force and fear. Is it possible to gain and maintain power in a more positive way?
Quote #3
On Lyra's other side Mrs. Coulter sat working through some papers, but she soon put them away and talked. Such brilliant talk! Lyra was intoxicated; not about the North this time, but about London, and the restaurants and the ballrooms, the soirées at embassies or ministries, the intrigues between White Hall and Westminster. Lyra was almost more fascinated by this than by the changing landscape below the airship. What Mrs. Coulter was saying seemed to be accompanied by a scent of grownupness, something disturbing but enticing at the same time: it was the smell of glamour. (4.90)
Mrs. Coulter's power is in her feminine charms, but that pretty face is simply a façade for a cruel nature.

I am not sure your workflow makes sense but it sounds easy enough to
write. Maybe you meant that one can bring up a context menu on an
attachment and have a entry for "Reply with Edit" or something like
that. The handler for the context menu would call
messenger.openAttachment and poll the temporary file. At the same time
a draft reply would be created. Every time the temp file modification

Suarez makes impact for Erie SeaWolves
It didn't take Eugenio Suarez long to make an impression in Erie.
The 21-year-old shortstop from Edo Bolivar, Venezuela, collected two run-scoring hits in his debut Friday night during a 6-3 win over Altoona.
He also hit two line drives that were caught as he is in the middle of an 11-game hitting streak this season.
"He was in big league camp during spring training," Erie manager Chris Cron said about Suarez. "He was another one of those kids that opened some eyes in a positive manner to the big league staff. Hopefully he will be here a while and will keep contributing."
Suarez's arrival in Erie has allowed fellow Venezuelan Hernan Perez to return to second base.
Perez is a natural second baseman but was forced to start the season at shortstop after Dixon Machado was placed on the disabled list.
"Hernan is very capable of playing shortstop but his best position is second base," Cron said. "He'll still play a few games at short here and there but for the most part Suarez will be at short and we'll see how he does."
Suarez and Perez, who were good friends before being reunited in Erie, likely will make up the top of the batting order each night. Suarez led off Friday and Saturday, while Perez batted second both games.
The two are part of a push by the Detroit Tigers to sign talented, undrafted free agents from Central America.
Suarez was signed in October 2008 after Perez was signed in July 2007. Machado, who is still in Lakeland rehabbing a hamstring injury, was signed in July 2008.
The list of top prospects Detroit signed from Central America includes Bruce Rondon, Avisail Garcia, Danry Vaszquez, Melvin Mercedes and Brenny Paulino. Rondon is the No. 2 overall prospect in the organization according to MLB.com followed by Garcia (No. 3), Vasquez (4), Suarez (8), Perez (13), Mercedes (17) and Paulino (20).
Rondon and Garcia are in Triple-A Toledo, althoughboth have made it to Detroit. Vasquez is in West Michigan, while Mercedes is with Lakeland and Paulino will start his season next month with Connecticut. All three could be in Erie at some point this season or next year.

Axiomatic method, in logic, a procedure by which an entire system (e.g., a science) is generated in accordance with specified rules by logical deduction from certain basic propositions (axioms or postulates), which in turn are constructed from a few terms taken as primitive. These terms and axioms may either be arbitrarily defined and constructed or else be conceived according to a model in which some intuitive warrant for their truth is felt to exist. The oldest examples of axiomatized systems are Aristotle's syllogistic and Euclid's geometry. Early in the 20th century the British philosophers Bertrand Russell and Alfred North Whitehead attempted to formalize all of mathematics in an axiomatic manner. Scholars have even subjected the empirical sciences to this method, as J.H. Woodger has done in The Axiomatic Method in Biology (1937) and Clark Hull (for psychology) in Principles of Behaviour (1943). See also axiom.

They are also playing a scrimmage game tonight, but it will play as an actual game to try to help get into the swing of things to make up for the lost preseason. 3 20min periods, TV time outs, etc. They will also play an OT period and a shootout, no matter what the score is. And it's free to the public.
I know all this doesnt make up for losing half a season due to bull****, but I guess they are at least trying.

About the Book
"Variably genial, cautionary, lyrical, admonitory, terrifying, horrifying and inspiring…A lifetime of thought, travel, reading, imagination and memory inform this affecting account." —Kirkus Reviews (starred review)
Blending history and anecdote, geography and reminiscence, science and exposition, New York Times bestselling author Simon Winchester tells the breathtaking saga of the Atlantic Ocean. A gifted storyteller and consummate historian, Winchester sets the great blue sea's epic narrative against the backdrop of mankind's intellectual evolution, telling not only the story of an ocean, but the story of civilization. Fans of Winchester's Krakatoa, The Man Who Loved China, and The Professor and the Madman will love this masterful, penetrating, and resonant tale of humanity finding its way across the ocean of history.
Atlantic is a biography of a tremendous space that has been central to the ambitions of explorers, scientists, and warriors, and continues profoundly to affect our character, attitudes, and dreams. Simon Winchester makes the Atlantic come vividly alive. Spanning the ocean's story from its geological origins to the age of exploration—covering the Vikings, the Irish, the Basques, John Cabot, and Christopher Columbus in the north, and the Portuguese and the Spanish in the south—and from World War II battles to today's struggles with pollution and overfishing, his narrative is epic, intimate, and awe inspiring. More than a mere history, this is an unforgettable journey of unprecedented scope by one of the most gifted writers in the English language.

The City Council in Tarentum, Penn., has lifted a three-year-old ban on alcohol sales for a dealer's June festival event on a split vote. Gatto Cycle Shop holds a block party each June.
The council decided unanimously in June 2008 to ban selling or serving alcohol on public property after residents complained about drunken visitors to the Tarentum Festival. But firefighters, who benefit from the fundraiser, said the ban hurt their fundraising efforts.
Mark Gatto told the council an "ugly past" should not be held against his event, which he says would draw many more visitors if he could serve beer, according to the Valley News Dispatch.
The block party, scheduled for June 11 and 12, will be held along with "The Ride for Homeless Vets." The money the charity collects goes to the care of homeless veterans in southwestern Pennsylvania.

Umdloti is a small town situated at the mouth of the Mdloti River, just 10 km from Umhlanga, 10 km from the new King Shaka Airport , and 25km (16 miles) from Durban and uShaka Sea World. Umdloti is nestled between Umhlanga and Ballito and is a coastal conservancy, surrounded by fields of sugar cane and indigenous forests. The town's name is derived from the Zulu word, Mdloti, which is a species of wild tobacco growing on the banks of the river which shares the same name.
There are three beautiful beaches in Umdloti, namely Newsel Beach, Selection Beach, and Umdloti Beach. Umdloti Beach features a large and totally natural tidal pool with lifeguards stationed there daily. Swimming is safe for your smaller children, and a variety of ocean life can be seen in the rock pools at low tide. Other activities at Umdloti beach include surf and rock fishing; though licenses are required due to the area's conservancy status, snorkelling, surfing, diving and kiteboarding.
Other attractions in Umdloti include microlight flights, horse riding, bird watching, parasailing, guided quad trails and visits to the Natal Sharks Board. It is estimated that there are about 800 resident dolphins which frequent the area, a number that increases to over 15,000 during the annual sardine run, which occurs during July and August. Humpback and Southern Right whales are plentiful during the calving season from July to November.
Also flourishing there are innumerable bird species which include the likes of Crowned guinea fowl, yellow-billed kites, fish eagles, storks, herons, blue cranes and luries as well as small game, making the area an ideal location for bird watching. Umdloti is also home to a wide variety of interesting restaurants ranging from Italian to Portugese to Indian cuisine. Highly popular with visitors, Umdloti Beach offers an abundance of accommodation ranging from several B&B guesthouses to dozens of self-catering chalets, cottages, houses and apartments. Another big attraction of Umdloti Beach is Sibaya Casino with its superb theatre, restaurants and shops.

Sanjay Dutt is touted to be seen in a pivotal role in 'Yaan', which will mark Sanjay's foray in Tamil cinema.
It looks like the director and the makers are keen on making it a pan Indian biggie, roping in the best of talents from all over the country!

Acclaimed musician Mike Reinstein has released his debut CD. Titled More To Be Revealed, it features 14 tracks, which he says are in part influenced by his Jewish background.
Mr Reinstein, who is married to Carry On star Sid James's daughter Reina, tells People: "There are songs about Jews in Kabul and also about my own experiences of prejudice and being an outsider. When I was at school in Potters Bar, there was a lot of anti-Jewish feeling around and I received some antisemtitism from one teacher in particular."
Reina James plays piano and sings on the album. "She is a very good editor of my songs."
The 57-year-old says the CD is "quite a mix. There's a lot of acoustic singer/songwriter stuff but also some Americano, guitar and djembe drums."
Mr Reinstein is also a composer of children's songs, a music teacher and workshop leader in primary and special schools.

Press Round-Up: NOV.30.07
Friday, 11.30.2007 / 11:40 AM PT / News
Louie puts lock on itElliot Pap said Roberto Luongo's performance is now at a point where it is mystical, which is a great advantage for the Canucks.
"Needing another 50:22 of shutout netminding Thursday to establish a franchise record, Luongo made it look easy in the Canucks' 2-0 victory over Ken Hitchcock's Columbus Blue Jackets," said Pap.
"Luongo has not allowed a goal in 193:56 and erased Ken (Spider) Lockett's team mark of 184:20 set in the 1975-76 season. It was also Lord Louie's third consecutive shutout -- two short of Brian Boucher's league mark -- and a personal best."
"It doesn't really mean anything, to be honest with you," Luongo replied when queried about his accomplishments. "Just to win and see the guys play hard in front of me is what I liked and, hopefully, it will continue."
"You could feel the intensity," Luongo noted. "The fans were pretty quiet there in the third and I think they were all nervous. Every time the puck was close to the net, you could hear them take a deep breath."
"The victory completed an immaculate three-game homestand in which the Canucks outscored their opponents 8-0. They have won five straight at the Garage and completed a superb November at 9-2-2," Pap said.
"It's awesome to play in front of a guy like that," gushed Ryan Kesler, who's been an integral part of the shutout streak with his outstanding checking work. "When guys break down defensively, he's always there to shut the door no matter what. I think it gives us a little more confidence back there to make plays."
Christmas comes earlyBrad Ziemer said Christmas has come early compared to last year when the Canucks made their turnaround on boxing day.
"A 2-0 win Thursday night over the Columbus Blue Jackets means the Canucks are 9-1-2 in their last 12 games and you can almost sense the same swagger that this team had in the second half of last season," said Ziemer.
"Right now, we are on a roll and we're just going to run with it until it ends," said centre Ryan Kesler, one of a number of Canucks who happens to be at the top his game. "We're all feeling confident ... At the beginning of the season, we were hoping to win games and now we're expecting to win and we expect to win every night. We know the type of team we have now and we know we can win and that's the biggest thing."
"Clearly, something clicked with this team Nov. 1 after it dropped a 3-0 decision on home ice to the Nashville Predators and lost key defencemen Kevin Bieksa and Sami Salo to injuries," Ziemer said.
"October sucked for us, plain and simple," Kesler said. "Everybody was kind of down in the dumps. We knew what kind of team we had and we weren't playing like it. Everybody took it upon themselves to play better defensively and that's the way we have to play. We were playing too loose as a team in October."
"When a team plays well together it builds the team confidence and players start to find the other players without even looking," Salo said. "When you are struggling those things don't usually happen. You have to look for the plays, they don't just happen naturally. Right now, it seems like all four lines are clicking and the same with all the D pairings."
OK, so when does he let in a goal?Jason Botchford said that Roberto Luongo's legend continues to grow making those timely saves and setting new club records.
Botchford said, "Somehow, it is getting bigger, and more epic by the day."
"Somehow, Roberto Luongo is on a run more impressive than anything he did during his storied season last year."
"Somehow, he continues to raise the bar and rewrite Canucks history, leaving his fans, his teammates and his coaches slack-jawed and in awe."
"He is doing things no one in Vancouver has ever seen," said Botchford.
"He is setting records. He is changing the course of games and doing it nightly.
"He looks unbeatable."
"And for the past 193:56 he has been."
"He's unbelievable right now, I can't describe it," Ryan Kesler said after Luongo posted his third shutout in row in a 2-0 win against Columbus.
"He never has a bad period. He's been our best player the entire season. And, right now, I've never seen a goalie play like this. It's fun to watch. It's fun to be playing for him.
"Sometimes you think, 'This one is going in, there's nothing he can do.' And then he comes up with this huge save. Teams are still getting their Grade A chances, that's going to happen, but he's stopping everything in sight. He's amazing."
Getting offence from defenseMarc Weber said that the defensive line hasn't been showing any signs of mistakes as they are bringing their game to the next level by putting on some offensive pressure.
"It never happens," quipped captain Markus Naslund, whose play down low with the Sedin twins and the attention it's drawn is one reason there are more holes on the ice for defensemen.
"It's great to see them jumping up and getting big goals."
Granted, the team has been without the services of skilled defensemen Sami Salo, Kevin Bieksa and Krajicek for long stretches, but their back-end corps was still struggling to find ways to contribute early on this season with those players in the lineup.
Now the group that is erasing rushes and clearing rebounds with more efficiency -- Vancouver has allowed only 18 goals in its last 12 games -- is also starting to pinch in a more timely fashion and finish chances.
"That was such a key for us last year," said Mattias Ohlund, who leads all Canuck defensemen with four goals this season.
"We like our defense to be involved in the attack, and there's no reason for us not to be contributing."
Sure Luongo's playing well but what about Edler?Tony Gallagher said the Canucks getting a shutout automatically turns all the attention towards Roberto Luongo, but there are defensemen, like Alexander Edler, who are stepping up.
But one of the chief contributors to Luongo's glorious numbers, which just keep improving, is a defenceman who figured to start the season in Manitoba had everyone been healthy. And he has seen some time with the Moose, but the way Alexander Edler is playing now you have to wonder whether he will ever see the minors again.
There aren't many 21-year-old defencemen that can play like this big guy, who has burst on the scene with far more poise and decision-making ability on the ice than anyone anticipated.
Edler skates extremely well for a big man and is so cool under pressure, many observers have wanted to check his pulse during the action to make sure his heart is beating at all.
"He doesn't have a heartbeat," says Aaron Miller of the young star. "Hell, I don't have one either, but it's because I'm old. Nothing rattles him. I got one game my first year and he's out there playing with Willie, so they're not spotting him. He moves the puck along the boards well, he's NHL ready. It looks like all he needed was an opportunity and he'll only get better."
"And he [Edler] is only going to get better, when he gets stronger and more experienced, and learning to be mentally ready for every game is an adjustment. It's a lot of games we play."

Show Setlist
Didn't make the first two shows so I can't really compare, but 3rd night was quality, yeah there were some slow new tunes, but overall that place was gettin down, and all the haters out there that wrote on phish's facebook page should download that show, I listened to it last night, they sounded pretty tight, Carini> Bowie second set was insane, and the split open to close, rippin'. Now after knowing the trapped miners were being released during the second set Light>Theme from the bottom>Free> Joy was sick. I'm not a huge fan of Theme, but sickest version i've ever seen, I got the chills when I was at this show. wasn't the Best show I've ever seen, but certainly not the worst. I'm no rookie either, be seein phish since '93, was at '94 halloween, '95 new years run, all the festivals'96-'99, most east coast shows during that period, then moved to Colorado in '01, and didn't get to see them again til Telluride this year, so all the people hatin' on Phish maybe need a break, my life is rejuvenated again, seein them gives me buzz, so the can play what ever the hell they want. If you thought that show was lame then it sucks to be you.

I've always thought that 40-somethings make the best students. At mid-life, we know exactly what we are interested in and, conversely, what we aren't. We have a thirst for knowledge and homework seems a breeze compared to dealing with real life issues.
When I enrolled in Manhattanville's masters of arts in creative writing program several years ago, I thought it would be a nice place to foster my love of reading and pursue my childhood dream of writing a novel. At that point, I had never published anything.
What I found at Manhattanville was so much more than I was looking for.
In the 1980s, the masters in creative writing program was started by a petite powerhouse of a nun, Sister Ruth Dowd, who was a total visionary and unlike any nun I've ever come across. She continued to run the program until she retired in 2011 at the age of 92.
Two years ago, Mark Nowak, an award-winning American poet and cultural critic, playwright and essayist from Buffalo was brought in as the new director of the writing program tasked with transforming it from a masters of creative writing to a masters of fine arts, the highest degree one can receive in creative writing. This past May, the first class of the new master of fine arts program graduated at Manhattanville College.
MFA programs have grown from just a handful in the 1990s to more than 200 programs in the United States today. The program at Manhattanville, although in its infancy, has so much to offer.
"The proximity to New York City is ideal as it's easy for us to get incredibly famous people to come and hang out with us. One of the things our program is known for is the 'Meet the Writer' series. This past March, we had Tracy K. Smith, the 2012 Pulitzer Prize winner for poetry, take the train from New York City to our beautiful campus in Purchase to give a poetry reading. Pete Seeger will be here on Sept. 20 to talk about song writing, language and imagination, and then we have a fabulous kick-off to our Fall Writers Weekend with Diane Glancy, one of the most celebrated Native American authors in the country, and Dina Nayeri, author of "A Teaspoon of Earth and Sea," which has been translated into 13 languages. All of our 'Meet the Writers' series are free and open to the public," Nowak said.
The program is 36 credits and can be completed in two years, but most of the 50 students in the program take three to four years to complete it as the program is more a journey than a destination. And alumni continually return to take the writer's workshops and come to the readings to keep fresh and reconnect with the supportive writing community. The students range in age from recent college graduates to writers who've finished raising their families.
Most of the students enter unpublished, but have found wonderful success having their works published while in the program. James King, won the Amazon Breakthrough Novel in 2009 for his novel "Bill Warrington's Last Chance."
"I was looking to join a community of writers, which I found at Manhattanville. Guidance from the faculty of experienced writers and feedback from fellow students, sometimes harsh, was instrumental in helping me start and eventually complete my novel," King said.
And not everyone is in the program to write the next great American novel. The program is flexible depending upon the interest of the student, and MFA students are encouraged to build an individualized program that best fits their interests and long-term goals.
Tina Tocco, is a current student in the MFA program.
"The first time I heard the term flash fiction, I was sitting in Foundations in Graduate Creative Writing, the program's introductory class. My professor, Joanna Clapps Herman, was sincere and challenging in her encouragement, and even helped me publish my first flash fiction piece. I've been writing in the genre ever since," Tocco said.
Another student in the MFA program, Terry Dugan, entered the program as a well-established writer and a previous managing editor for Hearst, but, as she says "the creative writing program at Manhattanville put my writing on steroids." She has a long list of awards, publications and readings that she credits as a direct result of the classes she took at Manhattanville.
In addition to their fall and summer writer's workshops and their "Meet the Writers" series, students also participate in literary festivals such as the Page Turner Festival, coming up on Oct. 29 in Brooklyn, which includes an all-star lineup of writers including Junot Diaz.
"We are trying to branch out and try new things with the program. As part of our curriculum, we encourage our students to participate in community-based creative writing workshops with interested writers from all aspects of society, from cancer patients to prisoners, high school students to public libraries," Nowak said.
The program has a newly minted online journal of literature, art and ideas, The Manhattanville Review. The Review is a collection of diverse voices and visions featuring works by creative minds from all walks of life. This is a great way for the program to share the work of their students and teachers alike.
Admissions to the program are rolling and online. For more information about the program, the workshops or how to apply, go to the program's website: www.mvillemfa.com.
"I'm always on the lookout for a great story, an amazing restaurant, an unusual day trip or a must-see cultural event in Westchester County."

MIDDLEBORO — Even though Hurricane Sandy caused very little damage in Middleboro, many area residents felt the super storm's impact on a deep level. The community came out in full force to support a hurricane relief drive held by local business, Grassroots Marketing.
Concerned citizens brought a variety of items and helped fill up a large truck donated by UHAUL in Taunton.
The Grassroots relief crew consisted of area boys Andrew Schiller, Declan Hastings, Matthew Lunt, Michael Peterson, Cole Hastings and Griffin Schiller who all helped unload cars, sort the items and pack the truck that would carry the gifts.
Little Sprouts Daycare conducted its own mini drive at their 17 area locations and delivered their collected items to Grassroots in three vehicles. They had learned about the drive in The Middleboro Gazette.
By the end of the day, the entire truck was filled to the brim and ready to be driven to New Jersey by Grassroots Marketing owner Leanne Schiller.

Lawyer, General
In addition to your undergraduate studies and the acquisition of your bachelor's degree, you're looking at three years of law school, after the completion of which you'll have to pass the bar exam to get licensed to practice law in your state. And no, you can't just pass by it in your car. You'll actually have to park, come inside, and answer all of the questions. And you'd better get most of them right, or you'll try, try again until you do.

Monday August 23 to Friday August 27.
I did a really fun Solo traverse of the Elk Range, a solid 50 miles of combined backpacking, camping, and climbing of peaks in 4 nights and 5 days. I was able to climb three major peaks along the way: Capitol (14,130'), Snowmass (14,092'), and Pyramid (14,018'), including a handful of other peaks above 12K and 13K while crossing some high ridges. The highlights of the journey are shown below, including a dip in the Conundrum Hot Springs, where my parents met me to help me hike out and complete the journey on the final day.
