By Mary Ann Miller
As an artist and art educator, I began many years ago to search for the places some of the great artists had lived and worked. From Michelangelo in Florence to Van Gogh and Picasso in the south of France I went, trying to paint where they had painted. I found the best-known paintings of these artists in Paris as well as in tiny museums in other places.
Mary Blocksma, in her book, Lake Lover's Year says: "Painting from a photograph is like armchair traveling: comfortable, safe, easy to control. Ego loves it. Heart smells a lie." So true, and for that reason, I try to paint most of these watercolors on the spot.
My title, Travels with a Blue Vase, was suggested by a fellow traveler. Up to then I had one sketchbook from each trip. I carried a blue plastic vase with me so I could enjoy fresh flowers in my room, and sometimes it appeared in my paintings. Since then I have been delighted to find that some of my favorite artists also painted blue vases!
Thank you for coming with me on this wonderful journey. I hope you enjoy it as much as I have.

7. Economic system is based on agriculture
8. There is a 105 seat National Assembly, which is like our congress
Berlin Conference
A conference in Germany where European leaders decided on the borders of countries in Africa.
Indirect/Direct Rule
Indirect rule is when the "in-charge" country tells the country it rules what to do, but the leaders of the country it rules over are governing
Direct rule is when the "in charge" country is in the country it rules and are the government
Money economy
The Europeans introduced money to the African Society and made the Africans work very hard for their money.
Elite in society
The people that had things other Africans didn't. These were the people that went to secondary school.
Atlantic Slave Trade
The Europeans took many Africans to European countries and the U. S as slaves. They treated them badly.
Role and nature of religion in traditional African societies.
Religion and nature helped them unite their societies and become closer in their families.
Why did some Africans reject their traditional culture?
Because they discovered that the only way to get ahead was to behave like their rulers.
How European culture affected African culture
They introduced money and many new inventions like telegraph lines and telephones
How European rule helped and harmed African Culture
Harmed: 1. Took Africans for slaves
2. Made them work very hard
Helped: 1. Introduced modern technology
2. Introduced modern medicine
Religious and political motives for taking over Africa
Political: Britain didn't want Germany or France to have African land so they claimed as much as they could.
Religious: Christians wanted to spread Christianity and they also thought that they had the superior religion and everyone should follow it.
Political Cartoon
In the first picture the black man is lying down and letting the whites rule him, but he looks like he is about to stand up. The whites having the dinner party symbolize white rule and the black man symbolizes Africans. In the second picture the black man is standing up and fighting back against the Europeans. It symbolizes the rebellion.
Nelson Mandela
1st black president of South Africa, was put in jail for 27 years for speaking out against apartheid and how unfair it was.

Cheers and hugs greeted a Milford Marine as he returned home Saturday, the first time in nearly two years that C.J. Vrouhas has set foot in the Granite State.
Vrouhas, 28, spent the last 19 months deployed in the Afghan region. His first request after stepping off the plane in Manchester? A large iced coffee from Dunkin' Donuts, with plenty of cream and sugar.
Family members' enthusiastic welcome for Vrouhas got a boost from some strangers who happened to be at the Manchester airport. They also shared their thanks for his service.
Now that he's home, Vrouhas' plans include a visit to the family of Cpl. Brandon Garabrant, a New Hampshire Marine killed in Afghanistan last month. Vrouhas and Garbrant had known each other since childhood.

At the World Cheese Awards 2013 all, superficially, seemed well. There was a Spanish sheep's cheese clad in rosemary and an Italian hard curd woven into a plait. There was a particularly fine Gorgonzola Piccante.
However, between the rows of competition cheeses at the NEC, in Birmingham, there was also a whiff of something not quite right — and it wasn't coming from the blue cheese table. "They're not letting all the cheeses in," said Charlie Turnbull, a judge. "It's just wrong."
The cheesemakers are revolting and the reason is that, at one of the world's premier cheese competitions, not all

Gareth received a MChem (Hons) degree from the University of Oxford in 2002. He remained in Oxford working with Prof Dermot O'Hare for a DPhil (PhD) in materials chemistry, which was completed in 2005. Gareth then spent three years working in science programme management for the UK government, before returning to Oxford to take up a post-doctoral position in 2009. In September 2010 he joined London Metropolitan University as a Senior Lecturer in Pharmaceutical Science, and in November 2012 was appointed to the UCL School of Pharmacy as a Lecturer in Pharmaceutics. Gareth is a regular reviewer for a number of journals including Ind. Eng. Chem. Res., J. Solid State Chem., J. Mater. Chem., Angew. Chem., Int. J. Pharm., J. Pharm. Sci., Cryst. Growth Des., and J. Phys. Chem. He is a member of the Academy of Pharmaceutical Sciences New Scientists Focus Group, and has previously served as the Younger Members' representative for the Royal Society of Chemistry Chiltern and Middlesex Section Trust Committee.
Inorganic drug delivery systems
A wide range of solid-state materials exists in which there is vacant space: it is often possible to fill this with a 'guest' species. We are using this chemistry to develop advanced materials with biomedical applications, for instance in drug or DNA delivery. Work is focussed on layered double hydroxides (LDHs) and hydroxy double salts (HDSs). These materials have positively charged layers, with charge-balancing anions located in the interlayer space (e.g. the LDH [LiAl2(OH)6]Cl.H2O or the HDS [Zn5(OH)8](NO3)2.H2O). A wide range of bioactive molecules can form anions and be incorporated into the interlayer region through replacement of the initial interlayer anion: these nanocomposites can be used to store and deliver drugs ina sustained manner. Such formulations can obviate the need to take frequent doses of medicines (making a patient's life easier) and help maintain drug levels at safe yet efficacious levels in the body. We are also interested in HDSs and LDHs for the separation of isomers of pharmaceutical agents. Often, we find they take up one isomer with a very high degree of preference. This offers a cheap and facile route to the separation of isomeric forms of a drug, ensuring efficacy and ameliorating toxic effects.
Polymeric drug delivery systems
A second strand of work comprises the exploration of nanoscale fibres, consisting of a polymer filament with functional components (e.g. drug molecules) embedded, as drug delivery systems. Fibres can be easily synthesised by electrospinning, in which a solution containing a polymer and a functional component is sprayed from a syringe towards a target collector with a high voltage applied between the two. The resulting materials have significant potential in increasing the solubility of poorly water soluble drugs, and may be exploited to drive "bottom-up" self-assembly processes. We are investigating the use of these materials for sustained drug delivery and for the precise targeting of drug molecules.
Vaccine adjuvants
Vaccination saves 3 million lives annually through the induction of protective immunity to infection. For safety reasons, modern vaccines tend to contain pathogen subunits to which adjuvants, such as aluminium oxy-hydroxide (AlOOH; alum), must be added to deliver immunity. Alum provokes strong antibody-mediated immunity against bacterial toxins, but cannot stimulate the cellular immune response required to eliminate virally infected cells or cancers. Working with collaborators in Oxford and Ghent we are developing alternative inorganic vaccine adjuvants to drive different and/or more powerful immune responses, and have recently patented significant developments in this area.
Analytical techniques
Working with a range of collaborators at UCL and beyond, we are looking to combine synchrotron X-ray diffraction with thermal analysis techniques to obtain unprecedented levels of insight into phase transitions in pharmaceutical materials. The use of synchrotron radiation permits diffraction patterns to be collected in a few seconds, meaning that we can very rapidly observe changes in the nature of the solid materials present and correlate these with the heat signals simultaneously being monitored by calorimetry.
I teach pharmaceutics aspects of a number of modules in the UCL MPharm course, and also the MSc courses offered by the UCL School of Pharmacy. I am also course director for the MSc in Pharmaceutics and the MSc in Pharmaceutical Formulation & Entrepreneurship.

Industrial mineral sorting
Minerals, stone and rock
The production of high-quality mineral products and building materials demands high-grade raw materials as well. Expensive and time-consuming laboratory methods are usually used for the analysis of raw materials. Inline analysis is commonly realised by RGB cameras. For a successful separation by RGB cameras, the colour of the valuable minerals and the waste rock fraction must differ significantly. If both fractions show a similar colour, the application of NIR-process technology will enable a successful separation nevertheless. Each NIR active mineral shows a unique pattern in the NIR spectrum. These spectral features are used as basis for the identification routines in mineral sorting. The identification routines are developed specifically for each sorting task, depending on the mineral composition. The routines can be adjusted easily by the customer.
The imaging NIR process spectrometers of the uniSPECx.xHSI series are ideally suited for such identification tasks. Due to the high spatial resolution, even small particles are detected at a conveyor belt speed of up to
3 m/s. The multiplexed NIR-spectrometer uniSPEC2.2MPL-24V is used for analysis of large particles. All NIR-systems are easy to integrate into existing plants of the process industry or in the quarry. For the separation of valuable minerals from waste rock, several identification routines are available. An overview for standard applications is given in the table below.
|Calcite / Dolomite
|Talc / Waste rock
|Borate / Waste rock
|Bauxite / Waste rock
|Gypsum / Anhydrite
++ particularly suitable + suitable - limited suitability
In addition, NIR-spectroscopy is utilised for quantitative determination of the mineral composition in NIR active minerals. For these applications the portable uniSPEC2.2USB is suitable. The data is compared to database information and the result is displayed subsequently. The NIR-process spectrometers uniSPECx.xHSI and uniSPEC2.2MPL-24V can be used for semi-quantitative determination of minerals in rock. The results can be used to comply with product specifications and limits.
Qualitative separation of calcite and dolomite
The NIR camera uniSPEC2.2HSI in combination with module idMgO
Limestone has a global annual production rate of 1000 mega tonnes and is therefore one of the main products in the mining industry next to sand and grovel. Limestone must contain a preferably low amount of magnesium oxide (MgO) for usage in cement production or as additive in smelting. The amount of MgO often originates from dolomite impurities in the raw material.
The NIR application idMgO was developed for the identification of MgO phases in limestone. This application significantly reduces the amount of MgO in the resulting product and is customised for specific on-site conditions of the natural mineral deposit. A RGB-camera can be combined with the NIR-camera uniSPEC2.2HSI for additional identification of differently coloured impurities.
Identification of swellable minerals in stone
Diabase is commonly used as high-quality split for road construction. Impurities of swellable clay minerals in diabase are problematic. If water permeates into the split layer, the clay minerals start to swell, resulting in additional stress for the asphalt and finally damage to the road surface. To avoid damage such as potholes, the amount of clay minerals in diabase must be monitored.
For random control purpose by the NIR spectrometer uniSPEC2.2USB, the application idDiabase was developed. The identification routine is based on spectral differences between diabase and clay minerals and enables an early identification of batches exceeding the clay mineral limit.
Quantitative determination of MgO in limestone
The MgO content in limestone must be determined regularly during cement production. For this purpose, XRF measurements are performed routinely on powdered samples, although the sample preparation is costly and time consuming. In contrast, quantitative NIR-measurements of the MgO content using the NIR spectrometer uniSPEC2.2USB are possible without further sample preparation.
The quantitative analysis of the MgO content is based on the identification routine idMgOquant. This routine is available also for the hand scanner of the uniSPEC2.2MPL-24V process spectrometer for at-line analysation. Measurements on reference samples with known MgO content show a high correlation of NIR-analysis results and XRF data.

A joint program of the Johns Hopkins University and the National Cancer Institute
- Information For Applicants
- To apply: Applicants for Fellowship training beginning in July 2017 will apply via the Electronic Residency Application Service (ERAS). Apply Now.
- Questions? Please feel free to contact Gladys Valencia Novak, Fellowship Administrator at (410) 614-5055 or email.
Meet Our Fellows
The fellowship is designed to provide clinical and research exposure that allows for the development of subspecialist academicians adept in laboratory and/or clinical research, coupled with superior patient management skills.Training in Pediatric Hematology is under the direction of Dr. Clifford Takemoto, Co-Director of Fellowship Training at JHU. Training in Pediatric Oncology at the National Cancer Institute (NCI), National Institutes of Health (NIH) is under the direction of Dr. Terry Fry, Co-Director of Fellowship Training. Six fellows per year are selected via the National Residency Matching Program (NRMP). The first year of the fellowship is largely clinical with inpatient and outpatient exposure at JHU and the NIH. The second and third years are focused research years allowing for training in laboratory and/or clinical research.
Clinical Training
The first year of fellowship will include:
- JHU Hematology Inpatient Service
- JHU Hematology Outpatient Service
- JHU Hematology and Clinical Laboratory Training
- JHU Oncology Service (Oncology and BMT)
- NIH Leukemia, Lymphoma and BMT
- NIH Solid Tumor and Experimental Therapeutics
- Continuity Clinic (weekly during selected rotations)
- Vacation
JHU Hematology Inpatient Service: This rotation is designed to educate fellows in the treatment of a wide range of hematologic conditions including hemoglobinopathies, coagulopathies, ITP, anemias, and patients requiring chronic transfusions. Fellows are responsible for supervising the care of all inpatients on the hematology service. Additional exposures include teaching in the preparation and interpretation of blood smears and bone marrows.
JHU Hematology Outpatient Service: Exposures during this rotation in hematology include the evaluation of outside referrals for a wide range of hematologic conditions, and participation in the longitudinal management of children with defined hematologic disorders. Fellows are also responsible for the management of patients undergoing erythrocytopheresis.
JHU Hematology Laboratory Training: Rotations are spent in hematology laboratories to provide exposure to Coagulation Lab, Hemoglobinopathies/Routine Hematology, and Blood Bank. These laboratory exposures are designed to familiarize the fellow with the gamut of laboratory studies required for hematologic interpretation and diagnoses. Fellows participate in supporting conferences (e.g. coagulation conference).
JHU Oncology Service: Fellows work on the Oncology Team followed by the BMT Team. The Oncology Team fellow supervises the care of newly diagnosed patients, patients with therapy-associated complications, and patients receiving inpatient chemotherapy. Exposure to the broad range of oncologic diagnoses is anticipated. Outpatient exposures during this time include the evaluation of outpatient referrals, assessment of neuro-oncology patients, and evaluation of patients with late-effects related to prior cancer treatment. During the BMT Team rotation, fellows are responsible for the oversight of patients undergoing BMT, as well as patients admitted for complications related to prior transplantation. Outpatient exposures include the evaluation of patients being considered for BMT as well as some participation in the ongoing management of established BMT patients. Fellows have responsibility for the supervision of houseofficers who rotate on the service each month. Newly diagnosed patients are assigned to the fellow for ongoing continuity in the outpatient setting.
NIH Inpatient/Outpatient "Team A": Fellows care for patients with Leukemia, Lymphoma, Stem Cell Transplant and Genetic Tumor Predisposition Syndromes.
NIH Inpatient/Outpatient "Team B": Fellows are responsible for clinical care of patients with solid tumors, Neuro-oncologic conditions, and Pharmacology and Experimental Therapeutics patients.
The NIH "Team" model allows fellows to care for patients in both the outpatient and inpatient setting. Fellows evaluate all new referrals and provide comprehensive care for patients undergoing treatment or evaluation. In addition, the Pediatric Oncology Branch (POB) offers a consult and second-opinion service and fellows are responsible for the initial evaluation of these patients. Finally, the fellows are responsible for organizing and presenting complicated patients at weekly branch rounds, tumor boards and case conferences.
The advantage of the team model is to provide fellows with a more comprehensive experience in clinical research. Fellows follow patients for an extended period of time, participate in protocol meetings and learn NCI clinical trials in depth. Fellows are directly supervised by the attending physician and have extensive interactions with research protocol principal investigators. This interaction emphasizes the important connection between research, education and patient care.
Continuity Clinic: Fellows are required by the subspecialty board to maintain a continuity exposure during their fellowship. All fellows have continuity clinic at JHU, which is composed of oncology and hematology patients acquired during their inpatient and outpatient rotations at JHU. During the first year of fellowship, continuity clinic is integrated into the various rotations. In subsequent years of training, the fellow individually tailors their continuity experience which occurs at JHU regardless of research locale.
Vacation: Approximately four weeks of vacation are provided per year.
Training in the Second and Third Years
The second and third years of fellowship are designed to be focused research years. Among the many advantages of the merger is the wide range of research opportunities available to each fellow. Laboratory and clinical research at both institutions are unparalleled and the merger allows the fellow to choose among almost unlimited research options. To ensure maximum productivity, clinical responsibilities are limited. The remainder of this protected time is spent pursuing a research initiative tailored to the specific interests of the fellow. Decisions regarding the appropriate locale for research training are made in concert with faculty advisors and fellowship directors. Many fellows focus on basic science research, either in the laboratories of faculty members in Pediatric Hematology/Oncology at either institution or in other appropriate laboratory settings. Fellows are free to choose among the many laboratories at JHU and throughout the intramural NIH community. Selected fellows who have chosen to focus on clinical research may apply to the clinical research program at the JHU Bloomberg School of Public Health, where formal training and a clinical research experience is provided in the expectation of fellows obtaining a PhD in Clinical Investigation. Fellows may also apply for advanced studies in clinical research through an NIH/POB program providing up to three years of additional research training following the completion of the initial three years of fellowship training.
Effective mentoring is critical to the success of fellows both during training and to successfully meet the career goals following the completion of training. Each fellow has multiple mentors to assist in professional development:
1. Fellowship leadership has broad overview responsibilities for being certain that fellows have a successful fellowship experience. They are available at all times.
2. Faculty Advisors: Each fellow selects two faculty advisors (one each at JHU and the NIH) during the first year of fellowship.
3. Research Mentors: Once a fellow has selected a research mentor for the 2nd and 3rd years of training, that person will obviously play a major role in research and career mentorship.
4. Scholarship Oversight Committee: All fellows have a committee (much like a thesis committee) that is responsible for research oversight, and eventually, to certify that the fellow has achieved a "meaningful accomplishment in research".

Genre: Oldies
Here's the story of a lovely lady
Who was bringing up three very lovely girls
All of them had hair of gold, like their mother
The youngest one in curls
Here's the store, of a man named Brady
Who was busy with three boys of his own
They were four men, living all together
Yet they were all alone
Till the one day when the lady met this fellow
And they knew that it was much more than a hunch
That this group would somehow form a family
That's the way we all became the Brady Bunch
The Brady Bunch, the Brady Bunch
That's the way we became the Brady Bunch

HONOLULU - The state Senate on Tuesday passed a bill that seeks to raise state revenue by developing public school lands.
The proposal contends that developing underused school lands can provide needed funds to improve public school infrastructure. The House voted to approve a similar measure Tuesday.
The Senate proposal says the existing educational system "traps information-age students in agricultural-age schools" and that developing just 10 parcels of school land could bring in more than $100 million.
Majority Whip Jill Tokuda, chairwoman of the Senate Committee on Education, said the bill is necessary because the state will never catch up with school infrastructure needs by relying only on general funds.
But critics are wary of what they see as another attempt to gain revenue at the expense of local communities.
Some say the proposal is just an offshoot of the highly criticized state public land development agency. The House and Senate recently voted to dismantle the corporation amid strong community opposition to the agency.
But Tokuda said the proposal takes a cautious approach by limiting development to a three-year pilot project and taking community input into account.
Sen. Sam Slom and Sen. Laura Thielen voted with reservations for the bill. Thielen said the bill should include provisions governing the long-term leasing of public lands.
Sen. Josh Green and Sen. Brian Taniguchi voted against the measure.

I just made a batch of mayo that happens to be low fat and low carb. I'd really love a good fatty mayo recipe! Here is what I made:
2 egg whites
3/4 coconut oil (heated barely enough to liquefy)
1 T apple cider vinegar
pinch of salt
in blender, slowly beat egg whites about 30 seconds. Blender still on slow, very slowly drizzle in oil, then vinegar and salt. Takes only a couple of minutes. Keeps about a week in the frig. Light and tasty, but needs to be warmed a bit to use as the oil turns hard in the frig

EDINBURG - The University of Texas-Pan American Communication Department recently received official notification from the National Association of Schools of Theatre (NAST) granting accreditation to the UTPA Theatre Program.
"We have basically been given the good house keeping seal of approval," said Dr. Marion F. Monta, professor of communication at UTPA. "This is a big honor for the department as well as the University."
The commission voted to approve the department for accreditation in April, making UTPA only one of four schools in the state of Texas with an accredited theatre program.
The program has been granted accreditation for a period of five years with the following degree listings: Bachelor of Arts in Communication (Performance, Theatre Education, Design, and Television/Film) and a Master of Arts in Theatre.
According to Monta, NAST closely inspected every section of the theatre program before granting approval.
"They checked out everything," Monta said. "From the physical facilities to the number of graduating students, they made sure that the program we offered measured up to their very high standards."
Monta also said receiving accreditation was just the beginning.
"You have to maintain the program at the same level or better for a period of five years," Monta said. "After five years, NAST comes back to inspect the program again to make sure everything is up to standards before reinstating the accreditation."
NAST said in a statement, "The unit's (program) mission is firmly rooted in the liberal arts. The department's mission, goals and objectives reflect a strong commitment to multiculturalism and diversity, creating strong connections between the University and community, and providing a forward-looking, integrated approach to theatre arts education and training that encompasses all of the media."
For more information on the program's accreditation, contact Monta at 956/381-3583.

Uruguay coach Oscar Tabarez compared Thursday's match to a movie.
If it was a movie, Uruguay's 2-1 win over England at Arena Corinthians was like a Fellini film. You're not sure what happened, and the ending wasn't neat and tidy like a Hollywood blockbuster.
And the hero to many and antagonist to many more was a talented forward, Luis Suarez, whose past is more checkered than a Croatian team jersey.
The 27-year-old has bitten opponents in two different matches and was suspended for eight matches after racially abusing a foe.
In a 2010 World Cup quarterfinal, he used his hand to block a ball while standing on his goal line to stop a certain Ghana goal in extra time. Uruguay went on to win in penalties and earn a semifinal berth.
No such incidents happened Thursday that we know of, but he still was the villain to at least half the crowd.
To the dismay of England fans, he ruthlessly converted two of the few chances he had on the day — the first on a defensive mistake, the second on a deflection — to pretty much end the Three Lions' chances of advancing.
To the Brazilian fans, he allowed a continental opponent they don't care for – Brazilians haven't forgiven Uruguay for beating them in the 1950 World Cup final — to stay alive in the 2014 version.
"If this was a movie, people probably couldn't have wished for a better result, at least in Uruguay," Tabarez said through a translator. "We have won after the failure in the first match. We have been able to beat a European team after a long, long time. Many people said that we wouldn't be able to do so.
"Both goals were scored by Luis Suarez, a player who was injured a month ago. He had to undergo surgery. So, for us, this game was loaded with symbols."
It was also loaded with tension. Both teams had come away losers in their opening matches — Uruguay was stunned 3-1 by Costa Rica and England fell 2-1 to Italy – and realized that they needed to get points to have any real chance of reaching the next round.
Suarez, who did not start in his team's opener after having arthroscopic knee surgery May 22 and was seen in a wheelchair as little as two weeks ago, said he dreamed of having this type of match. (Cue the Fellini dream sequence.)
For England coach Roy Hodgson, the nightmare was that he believed his team played well enough to win.
"I thought we controlled Suarez well in general play," Hodgson said.
"Quite frankly for long periods of the game we kept him quiet. … Two chances came his way, and as a top player he took both chances."
Suarez scored on an exceptional header in the first half and broke a 1-1 tie with a right-footed strike from a tight angle that whistled over goalkeeper Joe Hart's shoulder in the 85th minute.
In that same area, England failed, even with four strikers up front.
Wayne Rooney had a header hit the bar in the first half and scored to tie the match in the 75th minute, but just about every other England effort was lukewarm to weak.
Uruguay's win kept the home continent's dominance going, with South America teams taking all five of their matches against European foes.
For Uruguay, hope is still alive. It has three points. Costa Rica and Italy, who face off today, also have three each.
"We have been able to prove that we still can fight, that we are alive," Tabarez said. "But please remember we have not qualified yet."
Meaning the film could still have some twist and turns, and the ending is still far from written.

In Defense of Kids Coming First in a MarriageLori Garcia
A friend of mine is going through a divorce and as far as divorces go it's a "pretty good one" she says.
They've agreed on just about everything from the custody arrangement to who walked away with the vinyl collection. "Matt's a good guy; I just couldn't please everyone. In the end he said I loved the kids more," she quipped between piping hot sips of English Breakfast tea.
I listened and wondered, did she really love the kids more? Did Matt see his wife's love as a limited resource? Did Matt feel in competition with his own kids?
When I stumbled upon Disney Family.com's article, Do Good Moms Make Bad Wives?, I wondered why the divide between romantic and paternal love exists at all. They don't feed from the same pool, unless we reduce the argument to a very basic question of time and energy. Are moms now expected to feel guilty for providing energy to the children who need them? While I understand husbands need attention too, they're grown and hopefully the well-adjusted result of a mother who offered them attention during their pivotal years. Shouldn't husbands, being the fathers they are, appreciate the energy their wives bestow on their children?
Babble blogger Casey Mullins took a stand against the DDB Mother's Day Study that claimed 75 percent of mothers admit loving their children more than their husbands. Casey admitted, "I admit to being in the 25% — not in that I love my husband more than my kids, but I certainly don't love one more than the other. More so, the love I feel for each of them is dramatically different yet both overpowering and sometimes frightening." I can't help but agree with Casey; motherhood and marriage needn't be a "one or the other" sort of thing. They're simply too different to compare.
While it's true that motherhood does a rather comprehensive job of exhausting our time and energy (and libido), we'll eventually reclaim elements of the time, energy, libido lost as our children grow…at least I think hope we will.
I've written enough about love and marriage to know that the health and longevity of marriage depends on priority. While some may argue that preservation of the family unit is contingent upon marriage taking the top spot, others such as myself find the notion wildly impractical. Is it really such a bad thing for marriage to earn a silver medal sometimes? It still places. It still matters. My marriage has always been a priority in my life but its rank between first and second place ebbs and flows with practical fluidity. Sometimes my kids need me more. Sometimes my husband needs me more. Hell, sometimes I need me more.
I happen to believe motherhood has made me a better wife, just as fatherhood changed my husband for the better. Is that to say I've remained at the top of my spouse's priority list over our last 10 years as parents? No, sometimes the kids need him more. It makes sense; I'm a big girl and they're little boys.
Maybe there doesn't need to be a distinction between who loves who more, and who gets more attention. Maybe a mom and dad can agree that their children need them more sometimes. Maybe a husband and a wife can agree their marriage isn't threatened by that need. And maybe, just maybe, there's no shame in a marriage earning silver when your kids are taking home the gold.
Which comes first in your marriage, your husband or your kids?

BayHawks to play two preseason games in Texas
Playing well in the preseason doesn't guarantee a spot on the final roster, but it sure doesn't hurt the cause.
"I've seen times in the past where guys were about to be released and played very well in preseason games and wound up making a roster," Erie BayHawks coach Gene Cross said. "So these are pretty important."
The 13 players in Erie's training camp have two preseason games this weekend in Carrollton, Texas, to show Cross they belong on the final 10-man roster.
Conversely, they'll battle players in the same situation, thus creating a recipe for intense play in the six-team jamboree hosted by the Texas Legends.
"Guys are still trying to make rosters and they're very hungry," said BayHawks guard Ryan Anderson, who was with the Legends when they put on a five-team jamboree last season. "This is their livelihood. They're going out there and laying it all on the line. You just have to expect everyone's best effort."
Erie faces Tulsa in its first game today at 5 p.m. at the Integrated Athletic Development.
"It's good to play against some new faces -- some guys that don't know what you're doing so you can see if the offense can actually work," BayHawks rookie forward Henry Sims said. "It seems like (in practice) everybody plays the play. It's out of habit. It's hard not to do. I'm excited to get out there, play some guys and put everything we've been practicing into action."
The BayHawks end their two-game trip against 2012 D-League champion Austin at 5 p.m. Saturday. The Toros beat Erie in the first round of the 2012 playoffs.
Santa Cruz and Rio Grande Valley are the other two teams in this weekend's jamboree.
"It will be a welcomed addition to training camp to get down there and play against two other teams," Cross said.
Last season, the BayHawks had a three-team exhibition that included Canton and Fort Wayne at Penn State Behrend.
Erie, Canton and Fort Wayne each played a half against the other. Erie also went up against the Charge in a preseason game in Geneva, Ohio.
- Unlucky 13: The BayHawks waived combo guard Carlton Guyton Thursday to trim their roster to 13 players.
A Chicago native, Guyton averaged 9.9 points and 3.6 assists as a senior at Kent State in 2011-12. The BayHawks picked the 6-foot 4-inch, 175-pound Guyton in the sixth round of the Nov. 2 draft.
Erie has until Nov. 21 to reach the final 10-man roster. The BayHawks open the season Nov. 23 at Fort Wayne.
- Joseph back with Toros: The San Antonio Spurs sent second-year player Cory Joseph to their D-League affiliate Austin Thursday.
A 6-foot 3-inch, 185-pound guard, Joseph will likely play in the six-team preseason jamboree. The Toros play Rio Grande Valley today and face Erie Saturday in Carrollton, Texas. The 29th overall pick in the 2011 NBA Draft out of Texas, Joseph played four games against Erie last season, with three being in the playoffs. He averaged 11.5 points against the BayHawks.
Joseph has played in one game for the Spurs this season. He didn't score.

Even though we didn't see any new Apple TV's at the recent iPad event, one analyst seems to think Apple is planning on launching the Ultra-High definition Apple TV's with 65-inch and 55-inch frameless screens towards the end of 2014.
During yesterday's Apple's iPad event the iLife suite received a big update for iOS and OS X, and part of this was a new feature for iMovie called iMovie Theater. Apple has issued a small update to the Apple TV to bring this new feature to your living room screens.
It appears Apple will live stream their iPad event today after all as the Apple Events channel has appeared on the Apple TV main menu.
With only a few hours until Apple's October 22nd iPad event, TechCrunch's MG Siegler has revealed some more information which suggests what we can expect Apple to unveil today surrounding the many rumours we've heard about a new Apple TV.
The leaves are tumbling down all around us over here and the evenings are on the chill side and that means it's time to fire up the Apple TV, get comfy cozy and hunker down for some Autumnal movie viewing. As an added feature this week we've included our Halloween Picks for all you freaky types who get off on tricks and treats!
The thermometer is taking a dip around this part of our hemisphere and that means that indoor activities are becoming more crucial than ever. One of our default picks for indoor entertainment is firing up the big screen and downloading the latest to give our weekends a little junk culture jolt. And this weekend we might just lock the doors, order pizza, commandeer the couch then call it a movie marathon and here's our top choices for that race.

Statuary Hall: The Transformation of the Old Hall of the House
The old House Chamber, now called Statuary Hall, is one of the most historic parts of the U.S. Capitol. The House of Representatives met here from 1807 until 1857, when the present House Chamber was completed. The idea of a National Statuary Hall, a sculpture collection that commemorates the heroes and innovators of each state, was introduced shortly after Congress moved to the new wing. The space adjacent to Statuary Hall, now the Lindy Claiborne Boggs Congressional Women's Reading Room, changed alongside its neighbor, hosting Speakers, Clerks, Committees, and women Members.

This week is annual Banned Books Week in the United States which, according to its website, is the world's only "national celebration of the freedom to read." The celebration was launched in 1982 in response to challenges to books in schools, libraries and bookstores. Over 400 challenges were reported to the American Library Association's Office of Intellectual Freedom in 2009 alone.
Attempted book bannings, of course, are not unique to the United States. They have occurred all over the world for centuries, and for a variety of reasons. Unfortunately, religious objections to a book's content rank high among these reasons.
Margaret Bald's Banned Books: Literature Suppressed on Religious Grounds (1998) details the history, titles, and censorship history of dozens and dozens of works banned for overtly religious reasons. An abbreviated list of those she discusses reads like a "who's who" of intellectual and literary giants of human history. Works by Aristotle, Confucius, Galileo, Descartes, Kant, Darwin, Rousseau, Locke, Maimonides, Spinoza, Comte, Hume, Paine, Dante, Copernicus, Bacon, Voltaire, Dickens, Calvin, Luther and many more fill out the list. Even religious texts like the Bible and the Quran were banned for religious reasons.
This should come as no surprise. The religions of the world deal in absolutes and ultimate Truth, and they put their understandings of these front and center. Most major religions, especially the largest ones, understand their Truth to be divinely revealed, recorded accurately in their sacred texts, and delivered in its most complete form to their religion alone.
So, when intellectual or literary works come along that challenge those religious Truths, or simply don't adhere to them, they freak out. They burn or ban the books (or seek to), condemn the author (and sometimes imprison or kill them), and protect their authority as guardians of the Truth, and the socio-political turf that comes with it.
In their best moments, the religions can hold their ground while still seeking to understand, and perhaps even embrace, facts revealed by empirical science or human experience that seem contradictory to religious truths. Christianity, Islam and others have had these better moments in their histories. However, they just as often have reacted with hostility and oppression to the perceived assault on their Truth. It's simply the nature of this phenomenon we call "revealed religion."
I, for one, am glad I live in a country that has a constitutional commitment to freedom of speech and expression – as well as of religion – so that I may read whatever I want regardless of its passing of any religion's "truth test." To celebrate this freedom, I'm reading Ray Bradbury's Fahrenheit 451, a futuristic novel about a society that, among other things, bans reading and books.
Ironically, this novel has been banned recently in some school districts in the United States.

VINELAND — The state Department of Health announced a new case of probable fungal meningitis on Wednesday, making the state total 18.
The patient is a 57-year-old Gloucester County woman. She received the injection on July 12 at South Jersey Healthcare Regional Medical Center.
She is currently listed as recovering at South Jersey Healthcare, according to the Department of Health.
This is the second recorded case of meningitis found in Gloucester County.
The nationwide fungal meningitis outbreak has been linked to methylprednisolone acetate steroid injections produced by the New England Compounding Center in Framingham, Mass.
The injection is used to treat chronic back and neck pain.
The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) found the fungus Exserohilum rostratum in unopened medical vials.
South Jersey Healthcare notified patients potentially affected by the outbreak after the three lots of steroids were recalled on Sept. 26.
The first case in New Jersey was identified on Oct. 9 as a 70-year-old Cumberland County man.
The CDC reports 308 cases in 17 states, including 23 deaths resulting from the infection.
The law office of Saltz, Mongeluzzi, Barrett & Bendesky, P.C., filed a complaint by a Cumberland County resident on Tuesday holding the New England Compounding Center responsible for exposing the plaintiff to potentially deadly fungal meningitis.
Christopher M. Hannah received the injection on Aug. 9 and Aug. 30 at South Jersey Healthcare by a physician from Premier Orthopedics, according to his lawyer.
"Our client experiences constant pain and neck stiffness, as well as intense headaches associated with the tainted steroid injections," said Michael F. Barrett, Hannah's attorney.
"Like everyone directly affected by the meningitis outbreak, he is living in fear of the present and his future."
The complaint names the medical practice, physician and the hospital as defendants.
The law firm also represents two other Cumberland County residents, Jennifer Marko, 45, of Millville, and Brian Pennington, 45, of Vineland.
None of the three individuals filing complaints have been identified as having probable fungal meningitis.
Fungal meningitis is not contagious, according to the CDC.

Johnson C. Smith University Alumni Share Memories of March on Washington
Charlotte, N.C. (August 7, 2013) – Charles Jones of Charlotte, N.C., sat in the tenth row during the March on Washington to hear Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. deliver his "I Have a Dream" speech. Jones was a member of the Freedom Riders whose activism cost him 30 days working on a chain gang in Rock Hill, S.C.
Jones joins more than 20 other Johnson C. Smith University alumni who share their memories of the March on Washington in a new feature on the university's website (www.jcsu.edu/march).

2 Screens. Built in 1915. Operated by Landmark since 1989. On Friday, December 3, 1915, the Downer Theatre opened its doors to the public. It was one of the finest and most modernly equipped motion picture houses in a residential district in the country, making it the prototype for "neighborhood" theatres at the time. It cost nearly $65,000 to build and boasted a seating capacity of 1,200. Music being an important accessory to the motion picture back then, the Downer had not only a Weickhardt pipe organ, but an orchestra as well.
In May 1990, the Downer re-opened its doors to the public after a much-needed facelift. Transformed into a twin-screener, the new Downer was bright and classic, with the auditoriums painted a cream color. The decorative molding was brought back to life with gold leafing and gaslight-type lanterns lined both auditoriums. New carpeting that resembled the original carpeting from 1915 now covers the Downer lobby and theatre floors as well as the partitions on the walls of the auditoriums. Located on friendly Downer Avenue in Milwaukee's upper East Side, the charming Downer Theatre is the oldest operating movie theatre in Milwaukee and features the finest in independent film and foreign language cinema.

India v Bangladesh World Cup Match 1 at Dhaka Live Score Highlights and Preview
The first game of the 2011 edition of the World Cup will be played between India and Bangladesh at Shere-Bangla Stadium in Mirpur in Bangladesh. India and Bangladesh had contrasting time at the warm-up games but all that will be history as India and Bangladesh look to get going in World Cup with a decent first game.
You can watch India vs Bangladesh live on Star Cricket and ESPN on February 19. You can also watch the India vs Bangladesh highlights on the next day on the same two channels.
India v Bangladesh at Mirpur Toss Report
Interestingly, the two sides had met in the previous World Cup as well where the Indians were stung and stunned hard as they went crashing out of the World Cup. While most Indian cricketers will play down the question of revenge, it will be on their minds and nothing short of a convincing win will do for them.
Bangladesh goes into the game with a much better chance than any of the previous World Cups. They have a team which is suited for the kind of surfaces one would find in Bangladesh – where they play all their games – and not too many would be surprised if they do manage to get into the quarter-finals at the expense of one of the better sides in the competition.
India v Bangladesh World Cup Group B at Dhaka Live Score here:
India v Bangladesh World Cup Group B at Dhaka Timings:
The India v Bangladesh Live World Cup game will be a day-night one and will start from 0830 hours GMT or 1430 hours local time.
The Teams:
Looking at the kind of record that the ground shows, there cannot be too much doubt that spin is going to play its part here. India have a couple of questions that they will look to answer; one which two of Virat Kohli, Yuvraj Singh and Suresh Raina will make it to the batting line-up. And secondly, if India goes ahead with a second spinner to partner Harbhajan Singh, which of the pace bowlers will get the sack.
Ashish Nehra has been one of the better bowlers for the side but he has looked lacklustre. He can crank up his bowling when the moment arrives but for now it will be tough battle between him and Munaf Patel and S Sreesanth. One of Munaf or Sreesanth may edge him out given that MS Dhoni may want Zaheer Khan to be partnered by a right-handed bowler.
The other issue to choose between Piyush Chawla and R Ashwin as the second main spinner, made more difficult by the manner in which Chawla bowled in the warm-up game against the Aussies.
Bangladesh will have their list of spinners stacked up; Mahmudullah to partner Abdur Razzaq and Shakib al Hasan. It will boil down to two between Shafiul Islam, Rubel Hossain and Nazmul Hossain to make it to the playing eleven and Islam and Hossain could make it through.
Why watch India v Bangladesh live?
Revenge, hardcore revenge on India's mind from their 2007 World Cup loss. Bangladesh will still be seething from Sehwag's 'Bangladesh is too ordinary to beat us' comment before a Test match in 2010.
Players to look out for:
India will look their top three, Sachin Tendulkar, Gautam Gambhir and Virender Sehwag to do the damage. This is the first time that they will play together for 14 months now. Bangladesh will need Razzaq to do the damage with his fastish spinners which he will be expected to bowl even in the first ten overs.

Are there any paralegal jobs in Texas?
Few days ago, I have heard about paralegal jobs and found interest in that. As I am a Texas resident I would like to know about the paralegal jobs there. Are there any paralegal jobs available in Dallas? If you people have any idea about such jobs available in Dallas, then please let me know.
Re: Are there any paralegal jobs in Texas?
Yes, paralegal jobs are good if you have the required training or knowledge. There are jobs available in Texas that are good for paralegal opportunities and you could get one yourself in Dallas as there is no thing as no requirement when one has the capability to do it. I would advice you to look out for resources so that you would have a better knowledge on that.

Ricky Burns wants Adrien Broner, has to beat Michelle Di Rocco on Saturday first-
Scottish hero Ricky Burns, who has not enjoyed a high-profile win for some time now, has lost none of his self belief and ambition.

Luis Ortiz wants Deontay Wilder after Alexander Ustinov defence-
With his intriguing, arguably career-toughest fight with Alexander Povetkin having fallen apart due to well-documented reasons seemingly everyone is aware of, WBC heavyweight king Deontay Wilder moves on – but to what fight? Wilder wasted a lot of time and money setting up two camps for the Russian test/mandatory defence, and it's likely he isn't in the best of moods right about now as a result of getting absolutely zero for his efforts. This could … Read Article

George Foreman Says No To Pro Boxing In The Olympics-
"This is my opinion of bringing Professional boxing to the Olympics.
Myself having been a past member of the USA Team, I dislike the idea and see nothing good coming of it. It will only put the dream of the `Ordinary boy and girl,` farther out of reach. As we can see with Pro basketball there is no Rags to Riches anymore, just the pick of the litter. The Amateur boxer is the life line … Read Article

Go to a track or figure out an area of land that you can approximate 1/4 mile. Ideally, there should be a place to do pullups nearby. If not, just scrap pullups from this challenge.
4 miles running, 160 push ups, 160 sit ups, 64 pull ups. You run 1/4 mile, do 10 push ups, 10 sit ups, and 4 pull ups; then you do it again until you complete the numbers.
I'm going to try this tomorrow, so I was just seeing if anybody wanted to challenge me? I'll post my time tomorrow night probably.

Random Acts Reviewed
Review by Chris Partin / THE COMIC ADDICTION
Two friends decide that they want to make a comic book. They decide that one will write it and the other draws it. The book is called "Slasherman" and it's a pure gore-fest of a slasher comic. The book becomes a sensation and the two creators hit the road to promote the book, meet their fans, and discover that sometimes life imitates art a little too much. That is basically Random Acts of Violence in a nutshell. Believe me, there's much more to the book than what I've said, and I think I should leave it that way.
Palmiotti and Gray have put together one crazy ride in just 70 pages. This book hits all of those suspense beats so well it just makes you want to keep reading. I don't think this was a pure horror book because there wasn't that sense of horror in it and I hope I wasn't misreading that. I think there are a lot of shock and awe moments where it looked like our writers were just trying to gross you out from the scene. If that's what they were going for – gold stars all around!
I think one of the best things about this book isn't the Slasherman aspect of the book, but the way the world is introduced to the character – as a comic book character. The way this story unfolds and some of those little touches, like the Mark Waid story that is told, are great moments that really make the book enjoyable on a variety of levels.
The art in this book by Giancarlo Caracuzzo, Paul Mounts, and Bill Tortolini is something to behold! I first saw Caracuzzo's art in the pages of Last Resort, another Palmiotti and Gray penned book from IDW Publishing and I just wanted to see more of his work. It's hard to say that I like one book over the other, but I think Random Actsis such a great overall piece. Mounts's colors really are muddied and provide so a dark mood and then you turn the page and there's a lot of bold and striking colors that provide such a punch to the pencils and inks. Much like Last Resort, Random Actsmakes me want to see more from this artistic team for sure!
Overall, Random Acts of Violence is not all blood and gore. There's a solid story in it about two friends working hard to fulfill a dream of making comics. They get lucky and create something that really takes a hold of the industry. Their only problem, it takes a hold of some people a little more serious than others. I think this is a great book and should definitely be checked out, but it is definitely a 'mature reader only' book due to the graphic nature of the story.
Rating: 8 out of 10 (On Its Way to Greatness!)
Writers: Jimmy Palmiotti and Justin Gray
Artist: Giancarlo Caracuzzo

Nine West Virginia counties are in a state of emergency following Thursday's chemical spill in the Elk River in Charleston, the state's capital.
FEMA and the West Virginia National Guard are now set to help distribute water to about 300,000 people who are unable to use the water in their homes.
The problem began when a storage tank at Freedom Industries started leaking chemicals used to process coal. The spill inundated the river and a nearby water treatment plant.
The chemical spill has forced many schools, restaurants, and health facilities to close.
"I don't know if the water is not safe," water company president Jeff McIntyre said. "Until we get out and flush the actual system and do more testing, we can't say how long this (advisory) will last at this time."

Prince Edward Island: Ocean Splendour
Prince Edward Island (almost always known as P.E.I.) is Canada's smallest province and has the highest population concentration. However you would never realize this when visiting this beautiful island's wide sandy and unspoiled beaches, quiet backcountry lanes and peaceful emerald green fields. Some say that Prince Edward Island is as green as Ireland. The earth here is a deep red, and adds much to the wonderful colour of the landscape. Of course the ocean that surrounds P.E.I. is always changing and has a tremendous influence on the character of the island as a whole. As well as being physically splendid, P.E.I. has much to offer historically and culturally. Not least of which is its association with author Lucy Maud Montgomery, creator of Anne of Green Gables - the world favourite that was written and set in P.E.I.
|Lupins in the Springtime by Hank Heerema
Prince Edward Island's proximity to the ocean has a moderating influence on its climate. Winters are less severe than in much of Canada. Because of warm currents, the ocean here is much warmer, so swimming in the summer is particularly enjoyable. The most popular months for visitors are July and August, generally the driest time of year. Spring is very pleasant here; the evenings are long, and the island's famous lupin flowers are in full bloom and, of course, the island is even more green than usual. The autumn colours here are especially imposing; with fewer visitors, fall is a great time for quiet strolls along the beach. Winter brings a unique beauty, and is less severe than in much of Canada. P.E.I. has great facilities for cross country skiing (there is also limited downhill skiing available) and snowmobiling. During this season there is a large variety of activities, and every weekend there is something going on in the way of a carnival, festival or various indoor and outdoor sporting events.
|A beautiful former country home in P.E.I.
Archaeologists have found evidence of Aboriginal habitation on P.E.I. dating back approximately 11,000 years. The Micmac First Nations have been resident in P.E.I. since around 5 A.D. They used to spend summer on the island and winter on the mainland. The first European to see the island was Jacques Cartier in 1534. French settlement did not begin for another 200 years and the island was named Iles Saint Jean. The French colony expanded after the Acadians were expelled from Nova Scotia in the 1750s. However P.E.I. became British in 1763 after the Treaty of Paris, and its name was anglicized to St John Island, but was renamed Prince Edward Island in 1769, in honour of one of the sons of George III. At this time the island became self-governing. P.E.I. was one of the instigators of Canadian Confederation, and the first meeting to discuss this took place on the island. However for various reasons, P.E.I. did not initially join the new country of Canada, only opting to do so in 1873 when economic advantages outweighed previous concerns.
First and foremost P.E.I. is a province of agriculture. The island's potatoes are famous and shipped all over North America and its seed potatoes are planted worldwide. The rich red soil is believed to be the reason that this crop is so successful. Turnips, grain and hay are also cultivated, as are berries and several varieties of vegetables. Being surrounded by ocean, fishing is, of course, also very important. The island is famous for its lobsters, oysters from Malpeque Bay, and its mussels. In addition to these, flounder, hake, mackerel, cod and giant bluefin tuna are caught in the waters off the island. With such impressive scenery, excellent seafood and produce, and a very interesting cultural history, P.E.I. is becoming more popular as a tourist destination each year.
|Charlottetown Harbour
The main access to the island from the mainland of Canada is the recently opened Confederation Bridge which reaches the island at Borden-Carleton from Cape Jourimain, New Brunswick. There is also ferry service to Wood Islands, south east of Charlottetown from Caribou, Nova Scotia. The airport at Charlottetown has regional air service from Halifax and Toronto linking the island with the rest of the world. Bus service from New Brunswick across the bridge links P.E.I. from other provinces. There are also several shuttle bus services to various points in the Maritime provinces. P.E.I. has little in the way of internal bus service, but there are some shuttle services to the beach areas available. The island has no train service. (For more transportation information click here.
Until very recently the only way to gain access to the island was by aircraft or ferry. After much controversy, over which the people of P.E.I. were very much divided, (some believed that the bridge would make P.E.I. lose its special island qualities) the Confederation Bridge opened in 1997. This bridge runs from Cape Jourimain, New Brunswick to Borden-Carleton in P.E.I., thereby linking P.E.I. with the rest of Canada. At almost 13km (8.8 mi)long, Confederation Bridge is the longest uninterrupted bridge in the world. It is a marvel of engineering, and cost $900 million to construct. The bridge has 44 spans that are each about the length of a city block. It took 8000 tons of reinforced concrete to construct each span which hang about 20 stories above the sea. If you stick to the posted speed limits (anything faster would be pretty terrifying), and provided the wind is behind you, it takes about 12 minutes to cross the bridge. Aside from the novelty of crossing such a spectacular bridge, the advantages are obvious. The wait for ferries has been eliminated, (this used to mean up to a day's staying in a line-up) rough crossings are no longer something that have to be tolerated, and in winter there is no longer the problem of ferries getting stuck in the ice pack. All in all, as well as being a very interesting and novel way of getting to the island, the Confederation Bridge is a real timesaver.
The story of Anne of Green Gables is one of the most treasured and popular in literature throughout the world. Its creator, Lucy Maud Montgomery was born and raised on P.E.I. and her books are also set there. The island has much in the way of attractions connected to Montgomery and her character Anne. Many visitors come to P.E.I. for the sole purpose of seeing these. Anne is particularly popular in Japan, and there are special charter flights from Japan to Charlottetown, which bring many of the 10,000 Japanese tourists that visit P.E.I. every year. Among these Montgomery and Anne related attractions are: Green Gables House, in Prince Edward Island National Park, the home immortalized in the novel, and furnished in the original Victorian style of the period that the book was written in. The site of Lucy Maud Montgomery's Cavendish Home is where the author spent around half of her life. Although the home no longer stands, the property contains some interesting information about Montgomery's life here.
Lucy Maud Montgomery's Birthplace is at Clifton Corner. There are a lot of artifacts related to Montgomery including her scrapbook and her wedding dress. The Anne of Green Gables Museum at Silver Bush, which was owned by Montgomery's uncle and where she spent a lot of time as a child, also has a lot of relevant memorabilia. Near Silver Bush is the Lucy Maud Montgomery Heritage Museum that once belonged to Montgomery's grandfather, and is still owned by the Montgomery family. There are many family artifacts here, and assorted articles associated with her nine novels. There are also original manuscripts of Montgomery's work in the Confederation Centre of the Arts in Charlottetown.
No collection of images of P.E.I. would be complete without at least one picture of the many lighthouses that are found around the Island's shoreline, as the lighthouse is synonymous with the Island. The island's history and the story of its lighthouses are closely tied, as the ocean plays such a big role in the whole historical, cultural and social fabric of P.E.I. Although today many of the lighthouses are no longer in use, or have been automated, they have an incredible appeal to almost everyone. P.E.I. has fifteen lighthouses that are accessible by public rights of way. There are many more that are on private land and not accessible, in various states of repair. There is a bed and breakfast inn, a well-known restaurant and a museum at West Point Lighthouse. Leard's Range Front Lighthouse in Victoria is the province's only rangelight that houses two different lights, and at Wood Islands Lighthouse you can visit the keeper's quarters and the still operative light.
|Delicious P.E.I. Lobster
If you are a fan of seafood, then one of the best things about P.E.I. has to be the famous lobster suppers that are available throughout the island. These are held in a variety of venues, from church halls and cultural centres to specialty buffet restaurants. The lobster supper standard fare usually consists of salads, chowder, local mussels, home-baked rolls and a variety of desserts and of course succulent lobster. It is interesting to note that until well into the twentieth century one of the main uses for lobsters on the Island was as a fertilizer. This was because until then lobster was not a popular gourmet food item. Restaurants on P.E.I. had specialized in lobster for many years, but then in 1964 the Parish of St. Ann in New London had the idea to hold lobster dinners as a means to raise funds for the parish. Since then many communities and groups use the lobster supper as a fundraiser, so much so that it has become a P.E.I. institution. The suppers take place all summer long from late June to late September. Whether you go to a restaurant or a community event, you can be assured of enjoying excellent lobster. As well as St. Ann's Church Lobster Suppers, two restaurants of note are New Glasgow Lobster Suppers and Fisherman's Wharf Lobster Suppers.
The Confederation Centre of the Arts is in the centre of downtown Charlottetown. It was built as a national memorial to the Fathers of Confederation, and its mission is "to celebrate and interpret the origins and evolutions of Canada through heritage and the arts." Its modern architecture, which stands out in the otherwise dominant colonial style of downtown Charlottetown, has always been controversial, but nobody can dispute that the centre fulfills its role admirably. Confederation Centre serves as a major art gallery, a public library and a museum. It also houses three theatres and an outdoor amphitheatre. There are over 15,000 works of Canadian contemporary and historical art in the art gallery and museum. These include the celebrated portrait by Robert Harris - "The Meeting of the Fathers of Confederation." There are also original hand-written manuscripts of Lucy Maud Montgomery. Additionally there are a series of rotating exhibits. The centre is also home to the Charlottetown Festival. The festival presents original Canadian stage musicals as well as plays and a variety of other concerts. Perhaps its most famous production is Anne of Green Gables - The Musical. This is held every year from June to October, and there are other arts events going on at the same time in the other theatres and the amphitheatre.
|Playing on Cavendish Beach
Prince Edward Island National Park is one of Canada's smallest national parks, but its varied coastline and cultural landmarks make it one of the most interesting. The landscape includes sand dunes, with the park's Greenwich dune system considered one of the most remarkable in North America, red cliffs and earth, and wide, long sandy beaches. The beaches in the park benefit from the Gulf Stream that touches this part of the island, so the water is reasonably warm. One of the most popular beaches is Cavendish Beach; this is the island's widest beach and is bordered by some beautiful dunes. On P.E.I. popular does not ever mean that the beach is crowded like in major world resort centres. If you go to one of these beaches please ensure that you take plenty of sunscreen, as there is very little shade available. P.E.I. National Park has over 40 km (25 mi)of hiking and biking trails. Sea kayaking is a popular activity in the ocean off the park's beaches. For ornithologists the park contains three percent of the world's piping plover population. The ponds and woodlands here contain many other species of birds including the great blue heron. It is also possible to see red foxes.
The most famous attraction in the park is undoubtedly Green Gables House, and it is wise to arrive early in the day to avoid the rush from the many bus tours that schedule a stop here. Another notable landmark is the Dalvay by the Sea Hotel; this hotel is used in the TV productions of Lucy Montgomery's novels. This very attractive hotel was built in 1895 and certainly makes visitors feel that they are in a bygone era. Even if you can't stay the night, the restaurant is worth a visit as a special treat. There are great opportunities for deep-sea fishing in the ocean, and please remember that you will require a license if you plan to fish in the park's ponds and streams where there are brook trout. Golf and tennis is also available here. The Prince Edward Island National Park certainly has much to offer visitors.

hen the airplane with the medical team from Santa Clarita landed in Haiti, nurse Emma Barker said she was amazed by the colorful island landscapes.
"This is beautiful!" she thought to herself.
Then members of the team hit the road to reach the rural clinic where they were to help local people fight a cholera outbreak. That's when "the colors" changed.
"The rush of reality hit us," she said.
Barker described the hospital where they worked: a small, run-down building with no ventilation, tents filled with cots set up anywhere possible, buckets of vomit and feces, dozens of sick people with their family members next to them.
Poverty and suffering were everywhere.
Beside Barker, three other staff members from Henry Mayo Newhall Memorial Hospital left the United State on Dec. 3 to help with the cholera outbreak: nurses Jessica Bruckschwaiger and Cathy Spaid, and Dr. Darrin Privett.
With a nurse from Orange County, they formed "Team Mayo" (named for the hospital) and volunteered for the weeklong medical mission set up by the disaster relief organization Hope Force International.
The hospital where they worked was run by Medical Teams International, a Christian nonprofit humanitarian organization that set out to help in Haiti.
"When we arrived (at) the hospital, there were about 80 to 90 patients, and we thought it was packed," Barker said. "At one point, there were over 120 people. It was crazy."
"We saw about 100 to 150 people a day," Dr. Privett said.
Team members worked 12-hour shifts six days a week.
Each day, 10 to 15 patients who arrived at the hospital would be nearly dead. However, only two people died during their mission. Even those losses were very difficult for the staff.
"It was frustrating. You have all of those skills, but without the resources, there is only that much you could do. ..." Dr. Privett said.
"Two patients that had died would have probably lived if they were in the U.S.," Barker said.
The hospital with "white nurses," as local residents called them, was the only hope for many dying people. Some Haitians would carry their sick family members for six hours to get them to the clinic.
Then they would stay day and night next to them, taking care of their loved ones amid the misery and sickness.
"They have really tight family units. They are such loving people," Barker said.
Living conditions for Team Mayo were not as bad as they expected. They stayed in a small compound that used to be part of a Christian mission. Each of them had a bed with a mosquito net over it.
They had electricity until about 11 p.m. daily. However, they had no access to hot water the entire trip.
Their accommodations were first-class compared to the way local people lived. Most of their patients lived in small huts with no electricity and no access to clean water.
"There is no basic sanitation," Barker said. "They live in devastating conditions."
An important part of their jobs while in Haiti was teaching residents to boil their water, cook their food and wash their hands, Barker said.
"We explained to them where the infections come from."
In return, they received a great deal of appreciation.
"Haitians are the most grateful people," Barker said.
Getting out of the island was not easy. When it was time to go, the country was blazing with riots and rebellions.
Team Mayo was supposed to leave Haiti Dec. 10, but all flights were canceled.
The next day, the United Nations was able to send a small plane that transported them to the Dominican Republic, but they missed a connecting flight and were stranded one more night. The team made it out Dec. 12.
"We felt very much out of control," Barker said.
Each member of the Team Mayo paid at least $1,400 to make the trip.
They were able to raise some funds, and Grace Baptist Church made a generous donation. However, they still have to raise more just to be reimbursed for the trip.
Back home, Newhall Memorial staff covered 13 shifts to let Team Mayo go. The hospital donated 10 duffel bags of medical supplies.
"Everybody came together and helped," Barker said.
"The trip was an incredible experience," Bruckschwaiger said. "It alters your perspective in life.
"I leaned that we need to take care of each other, to love everybody, not only your family," Bruckschwaiger said.
"We take so much for granted. I hope I can change that in my life."
