Woman wins fight over roof shingles
Historic board wanted Sanford woman to use metal shingles
A Sanford woman said she has finally won her battle with the Historic Preservation Board.
Marilyn Koblasz's roof needed an upgrade and she asked for permission to use an architectural-style shingle, but the historic board did not agree.
Koblasz's home sits within Sanford's 11 block historic district where the Historic Preservation Board has a say in architectural changes.
To maintain the home's "visual integrity" the board wants her to buy new aluminum shingles costing almost $30,000, while she wants architectural shingles for about $8,000.
After another hearing and a tussle with her insurance carrier, the historic board has given her the go ahead to replace her roof the way she wanted to in the first place.

A Dallas Daiquiri is closely related to a Dirty Sanchez, Cleveland Steamer or a Hot Karl. The only difference is that it is always runny or similar to diarrhea. The most popular version is introduced directly into the recipients mouth. A daiquiri is very messy and nature so it is common for it to end up on different parts of the body.
My girl loves to give me a rim job and last night I surprised her with her first Dallas Daiquiri.

John F. Kennedy: His life and his legacy
Where were you when you heard about John F. Kennedy's assassination?
It shocked the world and shook the very foundations of our liberty and freedom. Today marks 50 years since that devastating day, November 22, 1963, when President Kennedy was assassinated.
John F. Kennedy was the 35th President of the United States, the youngest president elected. He was a man that the country identified with. He sent the first man to the moon.
On this 50th anniversary of his death, we celebrate his life and his legacy. Continue reading "John F. Kennedy: His life and his legacy" »

Recently I was asked if I could name a "bucket list" of iconic places in the world for photographers. It didn't take long. Certain places attract photographers like magnets attract iron filings; we are drawn to them without quite knowing why. Nor do we absolutely have to know. For some of us it will simply be the joy of collecting the trophy pictures we've always wanted to take. But for others, myself included, the exercise has something more to do with understanding both ourselves and the world. Here is my list (not terribly original, I'll admit), with my reflections on why these places are iconic to me. I'm absolutely sure that everyone will have a different top ten. But just as going there and taking the pictures was a deeply rich experience, so too is the simple act of asking which ones—and why?—Jim Richardson
Photograph by Jim Richardson
Even today, Antarctica overwhelms us. Already iconic, seared into our imaginations from the tales of heroic exploration and tragic, fatal failure of the last century, Antarctica overpowers us from afar, humbling even seasoned travelers, more vast in reality than our imaginations can muster. Relegated to obscurity at the bottom of our schoolroom globes, our scant knowledge ill prepares us for the stunning outbursts of towering mountain ranges ripping across the face of the deep blue sky, the sublime blue and turquoise icebergs and glaciers, and the inconceivable abundance of life. Indeed it is the limitless nesting colonies of penguins, always comical but utterly indifferent to human visitors, that ultimately define Antarctica as a world unto itself.
Iconic Shot: Besides penguins? Any view that encompasses Antarctica's vast scale and distances.
Venice, Italy
Photograph by Jim Richardson
Graceful, beautiful, and constantly enchanting, Venice is also a prime example of the tragic, all-consuming lust for wealth, power, and sordid ambitions. That all these contradictions coexist in such a sumptuous milieu makes it, rightly, a destination synonymous with worldly experience. "See Venice and die" puts the city squarely at the ultimate conclusion of any bucket list. For the Victorians life was not quite complete, youth not adequately finished until Venice was crossed off the list. Yet it surmounts all the clichés; it's never tawdry, always remarkable. Today, this island city of lost hegemony is a museum unto itself, a time capsule we can't quite bear to relinquish. It is so ravishing.

Machu Picchu, Peru
Photograph by Jim Richardson
Lost to most for 400 years under the encroaching jungle of the high Andes, Machu Picchu's magic was rekindled after iconic explorer Hiram Bingham rediscovered it in 1911 and brought it to the modern world. A century later it is still astounding, evoking wonder for the Inca kings and their opulent retreat in the high mountains, a stupendous sanctuary wrapped by surrounding mountains, plunging valleys, and ever swirling clouds. Even the llamas seem to be able to hear their ghosts. The stone houses and avenues, the plazas and sacred sites all speak to us of life still present but unseen.
Iconic Shot: From the terraces above, where Hiram Bingham made the original photographs for National Geographic magazine
Stonehenge, England
Photograph by Jim Richardson
Few places invoke timelessness like Stonehenge. The absolute knowledge that every year for the past 5,000 years the Earth, the sun, and Stonehenge have all lined up just so that the rays of light glancing across the face of Salisbury Plain slip through the upright stones— it sets our sense of cosmic order on fire. The rocks hulk there, brawny yet graceful, set in place by crafty people we can scarce imagine or recall. Then the moment is gone and we realize that we, too, have been aligned, if only briefly, with time itself.
Iconic Shot: The sun's rays intersecting with the stones in some way
Taj Mahal, India
Photograph by Jim Richardson
The Taj Mahal is famous for being beautiful (certainly), famous for being the symbol of enduring love (perhaps,) and most of all famous for being famous. Even if it were not sublime symmetry set in stone, its proportions elegantly tempered by centuries of monumental building by the Mughal rulers of central India, it would still beguile us for its place in the history of world travel. For centuries it was the "must see" tourist sight of them all. Millions of photographs have been taken from the exact same spot at the reflecting pool, each "perfect" in the same way that the marble monument itself is perfect. In some ways taking that picture is a pilgrimage of its own, seeing for oneself what millions of others have also seen.
Iconic Shot: Down the reflecting pool, framing the Taj between the minarets
Easter Island
Photograph by Jim Richardson
Standing in their haunting rows, Easter Island's statues, called moai, arouse our subconscious thoughts. The stone statuary, at once unreal and yet known to us deeply, conjure up ancestor worship in exactly the way the islanders, lost in the vast Pacific, likely intended. Our imaginations reel at the solitude: Polynesians made their epic journey across the vast Pacific to this speck of an island, and then no one else came for nearly a thousand years. Left to their own imaginings, the islanders invented their own version of eternity. In the darkness, under the southern starry night, the hulking statues have the power to haunt the mind like few other places on Earth.
Iconic Shot: Tongariki with the long row of moai looming above
Ta Prahm Temple, Cambodia
Photograph by Jim Richardson
The temple of Angkor Wat, rising out of the Cambodian jungle, is the world's largest religious structure. But nearby is another temple, Ta Prohm, less grand in scale but more penetrating to the psyche. Here the roots of towering strangler figs cascade over the intricately carved stone walls, framing doorways. They depend on each other, neither the walls nor the trees able to stand without the other. The roots snake over and around the religious symbols, looking like synapses of some ancient central nervous system, connecting lost thoughts set in stone.
Iconic Shot: The temple's doors framed by roots
The Serengeti, Tanzania
Photograph by Jim Richardson
The Serengeti offers an epiphany to most visitors: Wildness still has a place in our world. Out on the sun-drenched grasslands of Tanzania, life is elemental, the food chain obvious and unsentimental, the art of survival an everyday thing, kindness and mercy totally without relevance. The great migrations combine the many actors into a vast, thronging drama. The immense vistas are tranquil but for the stalking shape of a lion in the tall grass. We are intruders here redeemed by accepting our insignificance. It is both humbling and comforting.
Iconic Shot: Symbolic views and shapes that evoke primeval emotions
The Pyramids of Giza, Egypt
Photograph by Jim Richardson
The Pyramids virtually define the concept of iconic, their very triangular shape instantly recognized, seared into our collective human cultural blueprint, defining place, time, and ethos. That shape! And so for some 4,500 years they have been the most wondrous of wonders, in a league of their own, unchallenged for their sheer audacity, paragons of all design. And then there is the Sphinx, a riddle evoking a mystery that we don't want solved. Lurking always, somehow more intriguing the less we know about it, especially beguiling in old photographs when it was buried up to its neck in the sands of the Egyptian desert. Tombs to kings, monuments to human aspiration, all under the blazing Egyptian sun.
Iconic Shot: Exploring their many alignments, from a distance for stacked shapes, up close for the intimate connections
Papua New Guinea
Photograph by Jim Richardson
In the highlands of Papua New Guinea we come face to face with the parts of our mind that the modern world has hidden away very well. The Huli Wigmen (and many other peoples and cultures) carry forth traditions rooted deeply in time and mind, dredging out inner spirits and (through intricate outfits and lavish makeup) wearing them proudly at sing-sings. The transformation from everyday folk to apparitions from the spirit world is astounding. Looking into their faces we confront our own unresolved, fractured nature. Throughout Papua New Guinea each group displays, with pride, their own identity and inner being.

Dan Janison has been a reporter at Newsday since 1997.
The mayoral field has narrowed in New York City's outnumbered Republican Party. Publisher Tom Allon dropped out, and chances seem to be fading for Independence Party candidate Adolfo Carrion to persuade GOP officials to allow him into a primary.
That leaves Joe Lhota, John Catsimatidis and George McDonald in the hunt. McDonald may face the toughest path of the three, as he lacks Catsimatidis' private fortune and Lhota's government resume.
McDonald is known in civic circles as founder and leader of the nonprofit Doe Fund, which provides transitional housing and jobs for the homeless. Begun at Grand Central Terminal as a response to the homelessness crisis of the 1980s, it operates with a mix of private and public grants.
Latest columns
Why run? "I think we're headed for some racial turmoil," McDonald, 68, said Monday inside a sprawling brick Doe Fund facility in an old industrial stretch of Porter Avenue, Brooklyn. "I think what the city is going to be looking for is someone who's going to address that in a meaningful way." He cited alarmingly high unemployment among minority youth ages 18 to 26.
McDonald said that to win he must link his name to the program's successes in getting people jobs.
He says there are minority voters familiar with or helped by the Doe program who say they've registered Republican and are getting family members to do so. "There's only going to be about 40,000 people who vote in the Republican primary . . . Well, a good voter-registration campaign is part of the process."
Asked if he might support Lhota if his own bid fails, McDonald replied: "I remember what it was like at the end of the Giuliani administration and it wasn't pretty. So we can romanticize it all we want and say we want to go back to those good old days . . . but there was great racial tension. I think we've made great progress over these past 12 years with [Mayor Michael] Bloomberg. Now the challenge is to preserve the gains we've made and move forward."
In 2008, McDonald vocally supported extending Bloomberg's limit from two to three terms. Rebuffing those who inferred his motive from the mayor's longtime support of the Doe Fund, McDonald noted that he opposed the initial term-limit referendum approved 20 years ago when billionaire Ron Lauder was funding that effort.
Not that he'd try to abolish term limits if elected. "No, it's done," he said with a laugh. "Believe me, it's done."
In discussing how he'd bring his experience to managing City Hall finances, McDonald said unionized employees will need to pay for health care and he downplayed the prospects of retroactive raises from expired contracts. He also said the city should have the right to determine who's eligible for shelters.
"New York City gives more philanthropic aid and government aid than any of the top 20 cities but we want the right to be able to ask the guy who just got off a bus from Jersey City if there isn't a better alternative that we can check out for him in Jersey City," McDonald said.
Most of all, he talks about uplifting individuals and families for whom "it seems like their boats are anchored to the bottom whether the tide rises or not. How do I know we can do that? Because I've done it for 25 years."

The stadium is the largest and best preserved construction of this type to survive till today. It measured 262 by 59 and on about 30 rows of seats could hold 30.000 spectators. It was built in the 1st-2nd century AD and was used mainly for athletic events and games, although it was also used for periodical sculpture matches!

That dude from Ohio can't drive because he's a FIFO
by Emily September 14, 2003
Trending Now
Can you define these popular missing words?
Abbreviation for "First In, First Out", and abstractly means that the first item placed into a container or list will be the first to be removed. The system is used by fine resturaunts like McDonalds in order to assure freshest average food quality, though it doesn't address the omnipresent "half of the stock is expired" or "the refrigeration temperature is too high" issues. It is noteworthy that many employees ignore the system altogether in favor of grabbing the most convenient box.

When he agreed to do a DirecTV commercial featuring a scene from Tommy Boy with the late Chris Farley, actor David Spade never dreamed anybody would be offended.
"Slight shock," Spade told PEOPLE on Wednesday night of the fallout from the ad, which some commentators saw as tasteless. "These commercials are cool. They're well done. They're clever. And that they would include Tommy Boy in that company, I thought was very flattering."
The 30-second spot, airing during the World Series, appears to have been taken directly from the 1995 movie, except that while Farley does his famous "Fat Guy in a Little Coat" routine, Spade, with technological wizardry, promotes DirecTV.
Spade says featuring Tommy Boy in a commercial series that also has scenes from Back to the Future and Aliens "is so cool" since "we made this thing and people still talk about it."
"Oh, my God if [Farley] was here, I guarantee he'd be stoked that this little movie is included," says Spade. (Farley died in 1997 of heart failure linked to an overdose.) "The movie is important to me, and I would hate to offend [anyone] because that's one of my favorite things I've ever done. So I would apologize to someone who took it that way."
And Farley's family also was supportive of the commercial. "It shows him doing what he loved to do most, making people laugh," his brother Kevin Farley tells PEOPLE. "He would have loved the spot."
Still, Spade says, if he had to do it over again, he probably wouldn't have made the commercial. "I wouldn't want anyone to get a whiff that I'm trying to get something off Chris," he says.
Spade, meanwhile, organized a charity comedy show Wednesday night at the Canyon Club in Augora Hills, north of Los Angeles. Hundreds of firefighters, who had battling Southern California's recent blazes, got in free with their guests. Spade also donated $100,000 for a fund for injured firefighters.
"I kind of want to help these guys out," he said. "And when I saw the fires this summer and I saw the sky was bad this was so overwhelming and so real. And they're just on 24-hour shifts. I see them, and they sleep like on the ground, and I think that's when it hit me to do something."

En Español
medicine (or naturopathy) is based on the belief that the body can heal itself. It aims to improve health, prevent disease,
and treat illness through the use of organic foods and exercise;
a healthy, balanced lifestyle; and the use of treatments
from other areas of complementary medicine. (These treatments include ayurveda, homeopathy, and
herbal therapies.)
Naturopathy was developed in the late 1800s in
the United States. Today, a licensed naturopathic doctor (ND) attends a 4-year,
graduate-level naturopathic medical school. He or she studies basic sciences and alternative therapies, such as herbal medicine, homeopathy, and bodywork.
traditional naturopathic physicians (naturopaths) believe in natural therapies,
such as nutritional and lifestyle counseling. They tend to avoid prescribing
medicines or doing surgery. Some naturopaths prescribe herbal medicines,
homeopathic dilutions, or nutritional supplements. Some may perform minor surgeries.

different states has led to some public confusion about the role of the
People use
naturopathic medicine to promote good health, prevent disease, and
treat illness. Most naturopaths can treat earaches, allergies, and other
common health problems. Naturopathy tries to find the cause of the
problem rather than just treating symptoms.
Two common concerns about
naturopathy are the use of fasting and a bias against
Always tell your doctor if you are using an alternative
therapy or are thinking about combining one with your
conventional medical treatment. It may not be safe to rely only on an alternative therapy.
Naturopathy licensing varies from state to state. Not all states require
naturopaths to be licensed. Also, not all naturopathic training programs are
the same. Some schools grant degrees that are not accepted by state licensing
boards. In the United States, the Council on Naturopathic Medical Education
(CNME) is the only agency recognized by the U.S. Department of Education to
accredit naturopathic programs and colleges.
Before you choose a
naturopath, find out if the person graduated from an accredited college.
Also check to see if your state has licensing laws that govern the
practice of NDs. If your state licenses NDs, ask the ND if he

Mount Oso Climber's Log
[ Sign the Climber's Log ]
|Roell Creek/Lost Lake
Date Climbed: Aug 25, 2012
|Bushwhack up Roell Creek to Hidden Lake. Steep, rough, and ledgy, but I picked a good route. Traverse evil talus to Lost Lake. Ascend to saddle between Lost Lake and Irving Lake basins. Ascend up horribly loose talus to about 13,000', but forced back below saddle due to T-storm. Re-ascend up western sub-ridge then across SW face to join SE ridge. Easy ascent to summit... spectacular views. Descended along top of ridge all the way back to the saddle... much better choice. Camped at Lost Lake with some coyotes and elk.

|Saw an oso on Oso!
Date Climbed: Aug 25, 2011
|Backpacked 10 miles from Beartown to Rock Lake. Climbed a loose, rocky, mostly 2nd class gully (not recommended) to gain SE ridge around 13,300 ft. Saw a mama bear and her cub at 13,000 ft while descending the SW slopes (toward Irving), apparently munching on something amongst the talus. A bear sighting high on Oso! How cool is that!

The accommodation at Rosa and her husband was very nice. The room is comfortable with acclimatization and a nice bathroom.
Rosa presented us every day a great breakfast with coffee from Bialetti, juice, cereals, fresh melon and small things from Italian bakery. There was even more we could eat :-)
Both were very friendly and gave us tips which restaurants to try, where the best beach is near the train station (we spent one day to relax on the seaside and went to Santa Marinella spaggia and it was very beautiful there). Rosas husband is skilled in arts and recommended to us things that we won't have found without him.
We can recommend this room to all people that want to live like Romes' inhabitants and enjoy the Italian way of life in the heart of the city.
greetings from Stuttgart,
Inna + Sebastian
We had a nice time in Rome. The accomodation is greatly located near the Vatican.
Rosa and her husband were very friendly and gave us tips round the roman livestyle and for great italian restaurants. The breakfast was great, too.
When we go to Rome again, we would like to book this accomodation again.
Nice, clean and comfortble accommodation with kind and helpful hosts and a great location. Short walk to Vatican, a bus stop by the building and lots of nice little restaurants nearby. Breakfasts served were very goog and Fabrizio's hand baked bread was really a cherry on a top :) Great price/quality. Grazie e arrivederci.
We have had a great time with Rosa and Fabrizio in Rome! The appartment is beautifull, breakfast super and the hosts are very nice and helpfull. The location near the Vatican is perfect. We will be back for sure......
All written advices are true. Rosa and her husband are really great for everything. They are surely nice. Their room is very confotable with all details we could need. And it is near all parts of Roma for visiting. Nothing is bad.
Rosa and Fabrizio run a great B&B just south of Vatican City. The place is quiet, clean, a nice breakfast is served, there is a good bed and a Wifi connection, so what else can you wish for? We felt very much at home in this lovely apartment, where there are paintings of Fabrizio at the wall and books in the book shelfs. So much better then staying in an unpersonal hotel!
Oh, how we enjoyed our stay in the lovely appartment of Rosa & Fabrizio close to the St. Pietro!
Rosa & Fabrizio gave us a very warm welcome and their hospitality made us feel good in the big city of Rome.
The room and bathroom is comfortable & clean and the full breakfast, served by Rosa in their cosy kitchen, is fantastic delicious.
They gave us all kind of information about Rome and they were happy to give us a lift to a restaurant. So very nice!
We would like to recomment this appartment; you will feel very welcome in Rome!
Rosa en Fabricio are 2 nice people with a nice appartment near St. Peter Vatican , just a few blocks away. Their appartment is furnished with good taste and is very pleasant and comfortable. You might find the appartment a bit noisy because of the raiwaystation which is nearby and because off a new build building accross the street.
There is no climat controll but they have 2 blowers to put on and you can open the windows
We had a nice stay at Rosa and Fabrizio's flat near Vatican City. Rosa greeted us warmly and offered to pick us up from the train station. She and Fabrizio provided us with directions, good local restaurant and gelato recommendations, etc. Fabrizio even baked a loaf of delicious bread. Molto bene!
The place itself has tons of character and is decorated with books, art and such. All was to our satisfaction. Note that Fabrizio does enjoy his pipe, therefore there is a faint odor of pipe smoke lingering in some of the rooms, although not in the bedroom which is clean and quiet. Great views of the St. Peter's dome at night. Not totally within walking distance to the center of town (tho you could!) but public transportation is easily accessible. Riding the bus is its own Roman adventure of crowds, BO, and speeding along :)
Fabrizio gave us a warm send-off with a ride to the train station. Mille Grazie!

On further review...
November 23, 2012 - John Mehno
The NFL has always said the purpose of the replay rule is to get the call right.
That makes sense. You can tolerate the delays in the game if the call is correct.
That concept fell apart in the Thanksgiving afternoon Houston-Detroit game when an incorrect call was allowed to stand because of a technicality.
So everyone at the stadium and everyone watching on TV saw that the call on the field was 100 percent wrong. Yet it couldn't be changed, and Houston wound up with a touchdown it shouldn't have had. The game was decided in overtime, so the incorrect call had a big impact. The outcome of the game could affect the postseason fate of both teams.
It was an embarrassment for the NFL, and it exposed a loophole that will have to be closed.

|New Zone Plate for Soft X-Ray Microscopy at 15-nm Spatial Resolution
Analytical tools that combine spatial resolution with elemental and chemical identification at the nanometer scale along with large penetration depth are indispensable for the life and physical sciences. The XM-1 soft x-ray microscope at the ALS produces images that not only reveal structures but can identify their chemical elements and measure magnetic and other properties as well. Now a new method for creating optical devices with nanoscale accuracy has allowed researchers in Berkeley Lab's Center for X-Ray Optics (CXRO), which built and operates the XM-1, to achieve an extraordinary resolution of better than 15 nm, with the promise of even higher resolution in the near future.
Since x rays cannot be focused by conventional refractive lenses, the XM-1 uses Fresnel zone plates, disks of concentric rings of metal of decreasing width that diffract the soft x rays to form an image. An objective lens called a "micro" zone plate (MZP) projects a full-field image of the sample onto a CCD area detector. CXRO fabricates its own zone plates with its Nanowriter electron-beam lithography tool. An energetic beam of electrons just 7 nm wide carves preprogrammed patterns in a resist-coated silicon wafer. The carved-out circular patterns in the resist are then replaced with opaque gold to form an object.
Since the spatial resolution is approximately the width of the outermost zone, high resolution depends on the ability to make narrow outermost zones, with a placement accuracy better than one-third the width of the zones themselves. The Nanowriter is capable of placement accuracy to within 2 nm, but unfortunately, electron scattering spreads even a tightly focused beam when it hits the resist. The exposure due to scattering from neighboring zones, combined with inherent limits in the resist resolution, has made it impossible to maintain high contrast and optical separation for zones narrower than those in the XM-1's earlier objective lens of 25 nm.
To overcome this limit, the CXRO researchers adapted an overlay technique used in the semiconductor industry by combining two different zone-plate patterns. Opaque zones are typically given even numbers, so in this scheme the first pattern contains zones 2, 6, 10, 14, and so on, and the second contains zones 4, 8, 12, 16, and so on. The first pattern is carved into the resist-coated wafer; then the zones formed by the electron patterning are filled with gold. The wafer is coated with resist again to make the second pattern.
When combined, the critical outer zones of the combined patterns were less than 15 nm apart, accurately placed to within less than 2 nm. However, the opaque zones were broken by tiny gaps, and they were wider (and the transparent zones between them narrower) than they should have been, somewhat reducing the zone plate's efficiency.
The experimental MZP was then used to obtain images sharper than any previously achieved with an x-ray microscope. Not only were images of test patterns better defined than those made with the XM-1's current 25-nm MZP, the new MZP was able to obtain sharp images of lines a mere 15 nm apart—where the older zone plate had seen only a featureless field of gray. The contrast (modulation) between light and dark features of the pattern was also remarkably good.
The benefits of the advance may not be limited to x-ray microscopes at synchrotron light sources. The CXRO researchers suggest that before too many years, new sources of bright, soft x rays, such as compact, laser-based x-ray sources, will make it possible to fit x-ray microscopes on the bench top. Nanoscience and nanotechnology will be both the beneficiaries and the driving forces behind the widening horizon for nanoscale analysis.

All Projects
The Lipscomb:Next Campaign continues to march forward from the success of several completed projects to the challenge of completing the remaining initiatives. Through May 2014, the highest campaign priority is to complete fundraising for the McFarland Science Center addition and to break ground on that project. Coming up this summer is a new phase of renovations for Swang Business Center. Here's a comprehensive review of capital projects associated with Lipscomb:Next.
McFarland Science Center
This $8.5 million, 24,000-square-foot addition will include new laboratories for organic chemistry, biochemistry, microbiology, physics, and human anatomy and physiology. More importantly, it will provide new capacity for an academic area that attracts nearly 45 percent of incoming freshmen each year. More than $3.6 million has already been committed and the goal is to complete fundraising by May 1. See the Current Projects page for complete details and opportunities to donate to this project.
Swang Business Center
A portion of the Swang Business Center that formerly housed the Department of English will be renovated this summer as the new home for the School of Computing and Informatics. This innovative program will move into the business center to create new synergies in instruction and programming to better prepare graduates for the increasingly technological world in which they will live and work. This is the next phase in a comprehensive plan to fully renovate and expand the Swang Center.
Already completed in Swang is a complete renovation of Swang 108, the building's largest lecture auditorium. Renamed Stowe Hall (photo at right) in honor of lead donors Barry and Sherri Stowe, the 2,900-square-foot facility has new seating, lighting, carpet, wall treatments and technology. The building's heating and cooling system has also been upgraded.
Engineering Building
This building is essential to Lipscomb's rapidly growing engineering program, primarily to support the programs in the department of civil and environmental engineering. Civil engineering is one of the most popular programs offered in the Raymond B. Jones College of Engineering. For several years Lipscomb University has been a national leader in the design and construction of engineering projects for use in developing nations and in support of mission activities within those countries. Engineering mission projects have included two pedestrian bridges in Guatemala, two radio towers and a water tower in Honduras, and a fresh, clean water supply to several villages in Guatemala. This building will provide new capacity and discipline-specific learning spaces for this program, which is seeking accreditation from the Accrediting Board of Engineering and Technology. Lipscomb's majors in electrical and computer engineering, and mechanical engineering are already accredited by the Engineering Accreditation Commission of ABET. The college also offers a master's degree program in engineering management.
Burton Health Sciences Center
First floor and clinic remodel to meet the needs of more students.
Lipscomb Academy
Improvements at Lipscomb Academy have included renovation of the elementary school cafeteria, construction of several "model classrooms," branding of the new SEED School, addition of an interactive collaborative classroom at the high school and adding a new fence around the football field complex.
Nursing and Health Sciences Center
This $8.5 million, 24,800-square-foot building is home to Lipscomb's School of Nursing and also provides facilities for other health science students. It includes the Health Simulation Laboratory, which features 19 state-of-the-art computerized mannequins that can display symptoms and treatment responses for wide a range of illnesses and wounds in an authentic hospital-like setting; a 14-station assessment skills lab that is be used to practice physical assessment and diagnostic skills and to learn immunization techniques, safety methods and CPR; bedside technology, collaborative learning spaces and more. The facility is so well-equipped that in the event of a disaster on campus or in the community it can be converted into a 30-bed triage and stabilization site for patients prior to being transported to higher levels of care. Classrooms and collaborative learning spaces are large enough to allow the rapidly growing nursing program to triple in size from about 30 student nurses per year to 100. The Class of 2014 includes 79 student nurses, an increase from 36 in the Class of 2013.
Pharmaceutical Sciences Research Center
The 15,000-square-foot facility opened in November 2013 and provides pharmacy and other health sciences students with the latest in technology and research environments. The building includes specialized laboratories and other environments that support learning and research in the natural, applied and pharmaceutical sciences at Lipscomb. It will also facilitate collaboration with other academic institutions, clinical research organizations and biotechnology and pharmaceutical companies in middle Tennessee. A large portion of the building is dedicated to individual faculty research bays with support rooms for biology and chemistry studies. "This new facility gives the university capabilities that we have never had before," said Roger Davis, dean of the College of Pharmacy and Health Sciences. "A new era of science research is beginning on this campus that builds on the significant science work that has been taking place at Lipscomb for decades."
Osman Family Fountain
Students in the late 1970s and early 1980s conceived of, funded and even helped to build Bison Square, which has become the heart of the Lipscomb University campus. Osman Fountain was created with donor funding to honor the students' vision by revitalizing the Square and positioning it as emblematic of Lipscomb's spiritual mission. In addition to the constant reminder of the river of life, the fountain includes a baptistry where students may to commit their lives in faith in a special setting with other members of the Lipscomb family. The fountain is named in memory of Ty Osman II, son of Ty ('87) and Nancy ('86) Osman of Brentwood, Tenn.
Student Activities Center
The Student Activities Center has been expanded and renovated as part of Lipscomb:Next. New locker rooms, restrooms and showers were relocated from their origin position near the entrance of the SAC to the back of McQuiddy Gym, which has been incorporated into the SAC. The performance studio and weight room have also been expanded and significantly enhanced.

This is a mission for health protections for our community and many others like it. Elected officials need to take a step back and really listen to the facts and not those just created by industry lobbyists - we mean real facts.
Facts that show how Little Blue Run Coal Ash Impoundment and others like it are harming communities like ours.
Facts like how the Pa. DEP and the W.Va. DEP have ignored the warning signs of that pollution and chose to stand by, doing nothing, while we were in harm's way.
It's long overdue that health protection was the priority, not money for polluters.
I urge Senators Rockefeller and Manchin to listen to our voices: we need and deserve federal rules to protect us - especially because the W.Va. DEP has failed to do so. States can do some of the enforcement work, but federal requirements for all 50 states is the only way our health protections can be assured.
"Compromise" bills being talked about in congress compromise our health and do nothing to protect us now or in the future. Too many loopholes and convoluted language is not real protection. Congressman McKinley and Senator Manchin have it dead wrong.

It was very funny when Ash transformed into a Pikachu.
And Lily was very smart.. 7/10
Wobbuffet and his trainer.(credit: Serebii.net)
This is one of those funny episodes, Pity they didn't have Ash as a Pikachu for one more episode, it would have been an interesting filler much more then despite some of those.
What accent does Lily have anyway? British? It was funny how she chased after Meowth to get dirt from his claws.
Ashkachu was so cute. I just wish it would have lasted a bit longer.
If you rooted for Dawn during A Grand Fight For Winning even though you knew she'd lose, then copy and paste this in your signature.
This was one of my all time faves xD Ashachu
This episode was ok... It was the better of the 2 main Murkrow episodes for me. It was hilarious when Ash was accidentally turned into a Pikachu. This episode does remind me of Harry Potter with the potions and stuff. It was cool seeing Parasect again. Didn't really like the Spell Chants used.
This episode was so cool. Cool to see a trained Murkrok and to see Parasect. I love Ashachu so much. wish it would've lasted longer.
Pokemon HeartGold team:
This is my all time favorite episode on my all time favorite season even ^^
Pokemon fan girl since 1999 =D
Raichu is #1 Forever!!!
It was cool at the end where Ash turned into a Pikachu.
My favorite part was where Lily called Meowth cute.
Every other cast member > Clemont/Bonnie
I find it odd that Lily implies the hardest ingredient to find is Pikachu's thunder. I'm sorry, but somehow I doubt Pikachu is THAT rare...
Ashachu is really funny, and Team Rocket trying to make that wild Aipom cry was even funnier, especially when James tried to be a stand-up comedian. This episode is very original, I liked Murkrow using Icy Wind and this is an enjoyable, rewatchable and awesome episode, 10/10 is a deserved rating!
My fanfics:
Aquatic Passion (multi-chaptered fic)
Misty, The Mysterious Mermaid (oneshot)
Together Forever (drabble collection)
Love, South Park Style (oneshot)
Working On A Dream (multi-chaptered fic)
Merry Christmas (oneshot)
Seaking Catching Day (oneshot)
Awareness (multi-chaptered fic)
Changes (multi-chaptered fic)
Funny episode. 8/10. Except that when Ashachu was playing with Pikachu, Togepi and Murkrow, the scene after Togepi was in Misty's arms, and the scene after he was playing again
I saw the episode on Boomerang. Great episode and all but I thought I remembered Ash being a Pikachu longer than just a minute. I really wish they had a whole arc where Ash was a Pikachu instead of just having him as a Pikachu for the last minute of this episode and then having him turn back to human at the first minute of the next episode. So many things they could have done with Ash as a Pikachu. It was great to see Ash as a Pikachu. I just wish he could have stayed a Pikachu a little longer.
Oh, this awesome episode when Ash gets transformed for Pikachu for a while. This episode was really memorable lol. I think the episode itself was alright and I liked the character of the day a lot. This is probably one of the better filler episodes from Master Quest - it had just that bit more creativity into it.
Loved it when Ash was turned into a Pikachu. Would be even better if Misty were a Marril.
Ceci n'est pas une signature
I walk through the valley of the shadow of death
An average episode, I didn't like Lilly at all. I think the Aipom that just happened to show up was a little to much of a coincidence which was really ridiculous. I enjoyed seeing Jessie, James, and Meowth try to get Aipom to cry though. I was dying when Aipom was sleeping while Jessie was performing. Cute seeing Ashachu, Pikachu, & Togepi playing together.
lol ashchu: lol WHAT HAPPENED? I'm a PIKACHU I NEED WATER EVEN THO I'D RATHER BE ZAPDOS -pikachu hits him to tell he isn't dreaming O_O
I agree with everyone who said Ashachu should have lasted longer, at least the episode was good.
Ghirajinxaphobia (or Ghirajinxphobia) - Fear of Ghirahim being cosplayed by a Jynx
Ash turning into a Pikachu is so cool. I would have loved if the gang timed into one of their Pokemon. Misty as a Togepi or Staryu. Brock as a Onix, Geodude, or Pineco would have been good.
I liked it when Ash turned a Pikachu. Even if it was just for a little while.

It's a whole new way to see,
It's a whole new place,

But you still gotta catch 'em all
And be the best that you can be!
The Ashachu thing was really clever... the rest of it sucked though
Ashachu = Best part of the entire episode!
My top favorites
Claimed by me!
Formerly Painkiller2001
I can't help but feel that this episode was made to compliment the Harry Potter hype in the early 2000's. Anyway, I liked Lily's witch costume and her Murkrow, but her faux-British accent and personality left much to be desired. Team Rocket's antics while trying to get the Aipom to cry made me cackle tbh, especially when Jessie wanted to hit it.
What a waste of potential. Ash turning into a Pikachu had so many possibilities. Ash could have learned what life was like as a Pokémon. He could have battled, eaten their foodoreven been in a Pokéball. He could have found new ways to bond with Pikachu and get to see the world from pikachus point of view. He could have talked to Pikachu. We could finally have got to hear Pikachu's voice and in his own words hear what he thinks about Ash. Team Rocket could have tried to capture him. Instead all we get is team rocket stealing a bag, a woman with a British accent and Ash gets less than five minutes of being a Pikachu. Essentially it turned what could have been one of the most deep, complex, adventurous and heartwarming plots ever devised by the anime (or perhaps inadvertently created by it) and glosses over it entirely to make way for a relatively ordinary and uneventful filler episode. Sadly it seems Ash turning into a Pikachu or any other Pokémon has been remanded to the realms of fan fiction. This episode demonstrates less a lack of but more a frustrating avoidance of creative writing and imagination on the part of it's writers.

This is a story about Ash Ketchum and his loving partner Pikachu. These two share a bond far beyond that of ordinary pokemon and trainer. Together they pursue Ash's dream to be pokemon master and make friends with many different people and pokemon along the way. He and Pikachu train everyday to make this happen to fulfill their dream. But the path to victory is lined with danger. There are many challenges ahead for this couple.

Stay Focused, Stay Balanced, Stay Healthy: Part Two
This is a post by Gary Bonner, a regular contributor on Blueprint for Financial Prosperity.
This is the conclusion of Stay Focused, Stay Balanced, Stay Healthy article, an article by regular BFP contributor Gary Bonner. Part one is available here.
It was during those 5 hours that I reflected on how I got myself into this health mess. The company was relentless in demanding results on the very visible, very important project that I was providing a considerable amount of shoulder to lift off the ground. This project was a transition and I had to continue doing my former duties as I developed a new project. The requirements consumed me. Even when I was home I didn't rest because I was planning for the next day's work in my head.
Laying there listening to the beeping monitors, in between interruptions for x-rays taken by a portable machine and the nurses checking in on me, I started thinking about my family and my loved ones. I thought about how I hadn't paid any attention to them and had let life events pass me by in the name of "getting the job done." Then it dawned on me. I remembered a moment twelve years ago, when I had sat on the side of my father's bed (he was a victim of cancer) as he peacefully took his last breath. My mother, his wife of 50 years, his older son and daughter-in law, his only brother plus his nephew and wife stood next to him.
Then the thought just crystallized from somewhere deep inside: "No one lays on their deathbed wishing they had spent more time at the office." And here I was. I had crossed the Rubicon with Caesar back into Roman territory. I would never look at corporate life the same. I would do what I had to do but I wouldn't, couldn't, bite off more than I could chew ever again.
Over the next several months I underwent a series of stress tests, special echo cardiograms, and finally an angiogram. This procedure runs a tube, with a camera at the end, through your groin muscle through your body cavity to look at the arteries of your heart. You are awake but your body is "knocked down" by a Valium I-V. If there had been blockage, the doctor would have inserted a stent to insure good blood flow. Fortunately the cardiologist, a doctor of world wide respect in his field, announced that there was no blockage and that I had one of the strongest heart muscles he had ever seen.
I wish that was the end of the story.
That was in November 2004.
When I returned to work nothing had changed, the attitude of management had become more unrelenting. I withdrew from the new project to return to my old job. I steadily refused to put in extra effort and felt the heat turn up on me. Timid to fight back because I wasn't feeling well and didn't want to get fired and lose my medical benefits, I operated in a world of conflict between my personal health needs and, from my viewpoint, the demands of a high pressure job. My health broke again. I wound up back in the Emergency Room 3 times between 2005 and 2007.
The last time I said to my doctor who had wheeled me to the ER, "You know, my ticket book from the ambulance company doesn't only contain round trip tickets. There is a black one that says 'one way'. I am tired of playing Russian Roulette with my health."
He agreed.
I needed a lot of rest to stabilize and restore my health. While out on disability the company terminated my employment. (As of this writing I am exploring to see if I have any legal remedies for their action)
I lost out on an opportunity for a lump sum retirement payment and will have to accept a monthly annuity that will be modest at best. Why? Because I demonstrated to the company that I had the capacity and ability to accomplish results with a good work ethic. I gained a reputation as a "go to guy" if you were faced with a hard problem.
One of the rules of business is "if you find someone who can get something done right the first time, give him more to do." In the 20th century, management took care of their workhorses by grooming, feeding and taking care of productive people. Now, in the 21st century, things are done differently. If a company rides a workhorse until it breaks down, managers just pull their pistol and shoot the horse. They'll get another one.
Our world runs at lighting speed and is faster than the one I joined thirty-five years ago as a "go-getter." People now hitting their stride in the work world are quicker, better informed and very energetic. The same was said of my generation by my parents. It is important to know that the fastest and best workhorse today will one day be eclipsed by a younger and faster one. How you use your resources now will determine how long you will stay "in the harness" and how much you will enjoy life. At some point "overtime" will mean something much different than it does today. I found out the hard way.
There are much easier ways: stay focused, stay balanced, stay healthy.
This afternoon, I'll share with you the thoughts I had when Gary first emailed me this story (we had never intended for this to become a post, it was just a conversation between two people that I felt told a powerful story) and why I asked him to share it with everyone.

Aye! it was my first, and last one! ........................... (in my defence, I was young and stupid)
Quote..."And now you have the ULTIMATE noddy car........."
Aye! and I'm well chuffed with it. Now years ago, when I needed a big car, I had one, these days I need a really small one, and they don't come much smaller.
Wadda ya mean 'Noddy cars' or are you one of these 'boring motorists' who thinks cars are just a form of A to B travel ?smudger;
Well, if we are talking about Noddy cars,........when I was younger I had a Fiat Super-Mirrorferri (?spelling) and it was rubbish! (just like my spelling
I owned it for 9 months, and it spent most of them in the garage being repaired under warranty
it was a1.6 Twin Cam Engine
But you're not because you've owned a Fiat Super-Mirafiori ... now I am am drooling! ...was it the 131 'Racing' or even a 'Volumetrico Abarth'?
Lets have more cars like this on the forum and not 'boring people carriers' etc.
Aye! it was a special edition ex demonstrator, had around 900 miles on the clock when I bought it, and when it was working, it was a great car to drive, but it always had problems, and was in the garage more than it was on the road?
In the end I traded it in and got a 2Ltr Ford Cortina, which was pretty fast as well.


text: Issue 07 Preview – Unusual Suspects Assisted-Opening Knives Patrick Vuong 0 COMMENT "Thwack." It's the sound of a spring-assisted blade opening, and it makes us all warm and fuzzy inside. That reassuring sound tells us that our knife is locked and ready to go. This type of folder, sometimes called an assisted-opening (AO) knife, contains an internal mechanism (usually a torsion spring) that catapults the blade out when the user applies pressure to the knife's thumb-stud or flipper. Think of it as the semi-automatic of the knife world, straddling the line between manual folders and automatic blades. Brand: Zero Tolerance Knives Model: ZT Assisted Folder OAL: 7.75 inches Blade Length: 3.25 inches Blade Material: S30V Weight: 6.6 ounces MSRP: $175 URL: www.ztknives.us Activate beast mode! This heavy-duty knife feels wonderful in hand, thanks to balanced weight and a textured, ergonomic G-10 handle (which has a "quad-carry" pocket clip). The blade is crazy sharp. The ambidextrous SpeedSafe opening can be activated either with your thumb on the large stud or your index finger on the flipper, which also acts as a nice finger guard when the blade's deployed. It comes as no surprise that this genius design is by famed knifemaker Ken Onion, credited as creating the first AO knife. Though it might be a bit beefy for some as an EDC, everything about this U.S.-made knife spells top quality. Brand: Columbia River Knife & Tool Model: Fire Spark OAL: 8.63 inches Blade Length: 3.88 inches Blade Material: 8Cr14MoV Weight: 5.3 ounces MSRP: $100 URL: www.crkt.com The Fire Spark features CRKT's Fire Safe mechanism, the knife equivalent of Glock's trigger safety: The user must firmly press downward on the thumb-stud first before nudging it out. For the uninitiated (or a bad guy who's stolen the knife), Fire Safe makes it impossible for the blade to be deployed without first disengaging the safety – making this AO knife an interesting choice for law enforcement and military. (Two notes: it'll take some practice to open the blade consistently, and the location of the safety pin in the thumb-stud makes this blade right-handed only.) The Fire Spark also has CRKT's LAWKS safety lever, which locks the knife into a virtual fixed blade. Brand: Gerber Model: Propel Downrange AO OAL: 8.5 inches Blade Length: 3.5 inches Blade Material: S30V Weight: 4.28 ounces MSRP: $164 URL: www.gerbergear.com This U.S.-made knife features Gerber's next-generation AO technology, meaning a faster opening without sacrificing safety. The semi-serrated tanto blade is made of razor-sharp S30V, while the tactile desert tan G-10 handle blends well with various camo patterns — making the Propel Downrange AO ideal for military, survivalists, or hunters. Plus, the pommel houses a lanyard hole if you don't want to use the three-position pocket clip. For the rest of this article, subscribe digitally here: RECOIL Issue 7

A man in motion
Second-year student Shane Kirkegaard has already chosen his path as a pre-med student and a biology and business double major. While he was taking a pre-med course in organic chemistry, he became impressed with the work of his professor, Dr. Jason Chen. So he asked Chen if he could be a part of the research team that is trying to synthesize a scarce molecule found in a rare algae because of its cancer inhibiting qualities. Professor Chen noticed his enthusiasm and said yes. Shane was selected to present the research at the Capitol for Iowa lawmakers during the 2012 General Assembly.
As a major public research university, Iowa State provides a multitude of opportunities for undergraduate students, like Shane, to work alongside our professors who are developing new knowledge and creating solutions to real-world challenges. Our students present research papers at national and international conferences and are acknowledged by their professors in papers published in professional journals.
Shane is always in motion, constantly focused on making the most of his pre-med adventure at Iowa State.

A West Seneca man was sentenced to three years in prison Friday by Chief U.S District Judge William M. Skretny.
Justin Doyle, 24, had previously been convicted of conspiring to distribute OxyContin pills as part of a prescription drug ring in the City of Buffalo and its eastern suburbs.
Assistant U.S. Attorney Michael L. McCabe said Doyle distributed more than 5,000 OxyContin pills while working with co-defendant Mark Riordan, who was sentenced to three years in prison in December.
Doyle was arrested in 2010 along with 32 others. So far, 29 have been convicted.
Doyle's sentence was the result of an investigation by the Drug Enforcement Administration, as well as New York State, Buffalo, Cheektowaga, West Seneca and Lancaster police.

The black bear harvest for 2012 is something over 2,600 animals at this point and now those lucky hunters who bagged a bear are wondering how to prepare this meat for the table.
At a wild game dinner at New Hope Baptist Church in Duncansville a few years ago, the undisputed game dish of the evening was a huge pot of bear stew. Master minded by Ed Figart of Claysburg, he was immediately besieged by requests for the recipe.
Figart is a friend of mine and no voice was more incessant than mine, asking him to write down the recipe so I could share it with you folks.
Like many cooks, however, he didn't have a recipe. He just threw it together. The other day I forced him to spend a few moments with me telling me what the ingredients were for this stew. It would work for venison, beef or bear. But when someone makes a dish out of bear meat and people are still nagging for the recipe a year later, you know it is something special. So here it is.
Figart's Bear Stew
n Begin with 2 pounds bear meat, cut into small pieces. Brown it in oil with a large onion.
n After meat is browned add a 32oz. can of beef broth to the meat and bring to a boil.
n When it boils, add one package of McCormick's Stew seasoning, turn the heat down and let the meat cook until it is tender. Set aside to cool.
n When cooled skim off any grease from the top and discard.
n As the meat cooks, cut up 6 large potatoes into small pieces along with some carrots, celery and green pepper.
n When meat is nearly done, throw the vegetables into the pot with the meat along with a second package of stew seasoning and salt and pepper to taste. When the vegetables are almost done, add a package of frozen peas.
n When stew is done stir in a mixture of flour/cornstarch and water for thickening until stew is consistency you desire. Let stand until it cools completely, during which all the flavors blend. Refrigerate it until next day, then reheat and serve.
My dear friend, Susie Schroeder of Altoona brought me some venison she had cooked with her special recipe and it was so good it really did melt in my mouth. I nagged her for the recipe so I could share it with you and here it is:
Susie's Secret Venison
1/4 stick of butter
2 pounds venison steak
1 small onion
1/4 cup chopped green pepper
8 ounces sweet pickle juice
1 can stewed tomatoes
McCormick steak seasoning
n In a large frying pan melt butter.
n Brown steaks in the butter then add the sweet pickle juice, stewed tomatoes, diced onion, peppers and McCormick's seasoning to taste.
n Cover with water and cook on low flame for about an hour or until tender.
Not only does the pickle juice - use only sweet pickle juice - give this recipe a unique flavor, the juice also is a tenderizing agent for the meat. You'll love this recipe.
I have many recipes for venison but my contribution to this column will be to offer a few practical suggestions for plain and practical cooking of this most healthful meat.
First, be careful not to overcook venison. Venison is not marbled with fat, as domestic meats are, so it does not require as much cooking time as the exact amount of beef would.
My own indication of how to cook venison steaks or chops, for instance, is that when they get to the place where I would say to Myself," they just need another minute or two", take them off the burner then! Since there is no fat in the meat, cooking venison well done generally means it will be dried-out and tough.
Venison that has been cared for properly has a wonderful flavor and does not need soaked in anything or mixed with anything to be delicious. I do often marinade my venison in something but that's not to cover up some "wild" taste, but simply because I like the flavor of various marinades.
Venison hamburger is delicious in spaghetti and meatballs. Use your usual mixture of flavorings into the meat and cook just as you would if it were beef. If you don't tell folks what the meatballs are made of, they will not detect it.
Crock-pot cooking is another recommended way to keep venison moist and tasty. Put the potatoes, carrots and onions in with it and you will have wonderful pot roast or venison stew.
I guarantee you that there is no "pink slime" in venison.

Toleration and Calumny: Bayle, Locke, Montesquie and Voltaire on Religious Hate Speech
Jeremy Waldron
New York University School of Law
October 29, 2010
NYU School of Law, Public Law Research Paper No. 10-80
There is a considerable literature on the issue of hate speech. And there is a considerable literature on religious toleration (both contemporary and historic). But the two have not been brought into relation with one another. In this paper, I consider how the argument for religious toleration extends beyond a requirement of non-persection and non-establishment. I consider its application to the question of religious vituperation. The focus of the paper is on 17th and 18th century theories. Locke, Bayle and other Enlightenment thinkers imagined a tolerant society as a society free of hate speech: the kind of religious peace that they envisaged was a matter of civility not just non-persecution. The paper also considers the costs of placing limits (legal or social limits) on religious hate-speech: does this interfere with the forceful expression of religious antipathy which (for some people) the acceptance of their creed requires?

Camping with a Girl Scout troop is an exciting adventure. Girls develop teamwork skills through activities and meal preparation, learn to respect and appreciate the outdoors, and grow in self-confidence and decision-making skills. Troops can camp on Council-owned property (Camp Cedarledge, Fiddlecreek or Tuckaho) or off Council-owned property (for example, at a state park).
Girl Scouts of Eastern Missouri camp training provides the knowledge and skills volunteers need to ensure a positive camping experience for themselves as well as the girls.
Girl Scouts of Eastern Missouri utilizes a blended learning approach for camp training. Volunteers can begin their learning experience at their convenience, using the online courses. The online training is supplemented by required face-to-face learning opportunities.
Required training for camping on Council-owned property
When overnight camping on Council-owned property, at least one adult accompanying a troop camping in a Council-owned camp unit must meet one of the following requirements:
*Volunteers who meet these requirements are also qualified to camp off Council-owned property.
Required Training for camping off Council-owned property
At least one adult accompanying a troop camping off Council-owned property must meet one of the following requirements:
Learning Opportunity Descriptions (See the Lead & Learn for more information.)
Mentor Option
Troop leaders can elect to partner with a Troop Camp Mentor to meet the training requirement to camp on or off Council-owned property. Mentors are experienced licensed troop campers who work with the troop in advance of the camping experience to help prepare the girls and leaders, and then accompany the troop to camp. For more information on the Troop Camp Mentor program, contact an Adult Education Manager at the Service Center.
Waiver Option
Volunteers who have a great deal of experience camping at Girl Scout camps, or have taken camp training through another youth-serving organization, can apply for a waiver. To be granted a waiver a participant must complete an application, secure a letter of reference, complete online course work and successfully complete a skills challenge.
Girl Scouts of Eastern Missouri is a proud United Way member and is supported by the following United Way Agencies: United Way of Greater St. Louis, United Way of the Mark Twain Area, United Way of Adair County/Northeast Missouri, United Way of St. Francois County, Franklin County Area United Way.
