Even now, with the past week behind me, I get a little dizzy (hold the comments, please) just glancing at my schedule. With summer in full swing, my dance card is full and I'm running as fast as I can. For those of you holding events that I didn't have the opportunity to attend, my apologies. In the past seven days, I managed to get out to nine different locations, which ran the gamut from concerts to galleries to the theatre (oy, I'm out of breath), with a visit to the vet (wasp sting, don't ask) thrown in for good measure. Dharma and I have since recovered and we're now looking ahead, while reviewing where we've already been.
Last Tuesday, I pulled into the crowded lot at Bethel Woods (www.bethelwood [2] scenter.org) and found the pre-show festivities (aka tailgating parties) in full swing before the Dave Matthews Band (DMB) hit the stage. The DMB crowd is always an "experience" and I was more than curious to speak with some folks who looked ever so slightly out of place. Thinking of the band's fan base as younger than myself, I found scores of people in attendance who remember JFK, which took me by surprise. With grown kids of their own, Laurie and Ira Kriegsman have attended more than 50 DMB concerts and showed no signs of slowing down. I also chatted with Maureen and Joe Telasco, who had driven from Hyde Park, NY for their "umpteenth" show, which seems to be the norm for the rabid fans who follow the tour from city to city, state to state. "We've lost count," Joe told me. "DMB is not just for the younger set."
As it happens, I loved the opening act, "Fitz and the Tantrums," a band I was completely unaware of but will be keeping an eye on now. Described as an "American neo-soul/indie pop" band (okay, then) from Los Angeles, their lead vocalist, Noelle Scaggs, was on fire, and I found Fitz's sound captivating. Most of the audience was still in the lot listening to DMB recordings, which was unfortunate, since it's really ok to turn the dial once in a while. For photos and additional commentary, "like" us on Facebook and check out another cool (in reality, steaming hot) night at Bethel Woods.
On Wednesday night, I took my usual seat on the aisle for "9 to 5, the Musical" in Forestburgh (www.FBplayhouse.org [3]) and have given it my full attention in the form of a formal review in the Arts and Leisure section of The River Reporter online (enter at your own risk.)
Independence Day dawned and although the heat was outta control, folks flocked to the many events and fireworks shows all around the Upper Delaware River Valley. I decided to check out the festival and parade in Liberty, NY, and (with the wonder dog in tow) spent hours perusing the booths, enjoying the entertainment and photographing kids, floats and (of course) fire engines and tractors, which I never seem to tire of. To tag your friends and share the pics of both the Liberty and Narrowsburg parades, go to (yep, you guessed it) www.facebook.com/theriverreporter [4].
On Friday, photographer extraordinaire Jerry Cohen welcomed guests to the opening of his new exhibit "Eagles of the Upper Delaware," which runs through the 17th of the month in Bethel (www.straycatgallery.com [5]) and exemplifies his lifelong love affair with imagery. I spoke with Cohen, who pointed me to his bio, which reads in part, "Whether it is the majestic nature of an eagle in flight or the haunting secrets held within an abandoned structure, there is beauty and intrigue everywhere I look." My advice? Check out the show; this guy (and his skill at capturing his elusive subjects) is (IMHO) amazing.
Of course there's more, including a trip to the "Chalk Walk" in Livingston Manor, which (for me) was a little too much walk and nowhere near enough chalk, but I chatted with friends, observed kids having a ball down at the swimming hole and took some fun pics of the various artists at work and the dog romping with pals. Want to see the photos? You know where to go.
The week's pièce de résistance came with my visit to the Parksville USA Music Festival where founder and managing director Tom Caltabellotta (www.parksvilleusa.com [6]) had to set up extra seats to accommodate the huge crowd that showed up to hear (U)nity, who (according to the program) "aspire to create a completely original sound, fusing their Afro-Cuban roots with modern Jazz and Hip Hop."
"Original" doesn't even begin to describe their sound, and the group's claim that their music is "able to reach each listener… regardless of age or taste" really rang true for me. Normally I'm not a huge fan of improvisational Jazz, but the proclamation that "listeners feel enlightened, refreshed and inspired by music again" was right on the money, and I'm still on a natural high from being in their presence. The group's website (www.iamunity.com [7]) features "digital albums," and founding member Axel Tosca (incredible, mesmerizing, astounding) informed that one can "pay what you can" to download tunes. I have so much more to say (big surprise there), but it would appear that I have run out of room.

No one really knows how many axis deer there may be out in the vast acreage of the Big Island.
State wildlife managers don't want to see what happened with the population explosion of the Waikaloa donkeys, happen to the deer.
"Right now we have got a chance to prevent that," said Paul Conry, state administrator of the Division of Forestry and Wildlife.
At one point in the 1970s, the state considered allowing the introducing axis deer, but it decided against it, given the potential damage to wildlife and local farmers.
Lawmakers recently passed a law making it illegal to transport deer between islands.
Last month, U.S. Fish and Wildlife successfully prosecuted helicopter pilot Tom Hauptman for doing just that.
Hauptman will have to provide restitution by way of hundreds of thousands of dollars in airtime to try and eradicate the axis deer on that island.
"It will have a direct negative effect on both agriculture and the environment. In this day and age, there are goats and sheep. We just do not need deer on the Big Island," said Conry.
On Friday, the land board will take up a recommendation to allow open season of axis deer over a five-year-period.
"It's a way that the hunting community or any landowners can help us prevent deer from getting established," said Conry.
The state proposes to allow licensed hunters to legally kill the deer without any bag or season limits. It's something that's in place on Maui and Molokai.
If the land board gives the nod on Friday, it will amount to a blanket permit to hunt deer on the Big Island.
"You have to have a license, and hunt in the day time. This doesn't give you authority to hunt at night or without a license," said Conry.
And Conry says if you are going to hunt on private land, you still need to be licensed and need to have landowner's permission.
Conry expects some opposition from hunters who do not want to see axis deer eradicated.

We both have this old-school sifter. And we love it.
This dough calls for shortening, which makes for an exceptionally flaky crust. Amanda uses her pastry cutter to distribute the shortening evenly.
The paste -- we love learning new tricks from you guys!
We might actually get this in the oven once we stop chatting.
Amanda works the paste into the flour and shortening.
We formed the dough into a ball and chilled it briefly so it would be easier to roll out. This extra step is up to you.
Amanda's method of rolling out dough between two sheets of floured plastic wrap works like a charm.
And makes it easier to transfer the dough to the tart pan.
One of our favorite parts: pulling away the excess dough after running a rolling pin over the edges of the pan.
If you don't have metal pie weights, you can use rice or any type of dried bean.
While the tart shell bakes, we stir the lemon juice into the mascarpone.
And whizz up garlic, basil and olive oil.
Our heirlooms of choice: Green Zebra, Black Prince, and Brandywine.
Once the crust has cooled, it's adorned with a thick coating of mascarpone.
Amanda wants to start with THAT tomato slice.
The finishing touch: generous daubs of grassy basil oil.
Heirloom tomatoes (use all red -- green tomatoes do not make the best color lassi), yogurt, sumac, lemon zest, honey, mango, and cardamom.
You dice the mango and tomatoes.
Add the mango and tomatoes to the blender.
Drop in the yogurt -- we used Greek-style Fage yogurt.
Sumac (again, double the lemon zest if you can't get sumac).
Sagegreen keeps the honey tame -- add more if you like a sweet lassi.
Then whiz away!
Chill the lassi. Garnish with sumac and mint. Drink.

#168297 - 05/17/07 07:48 PM The origin of the word/name Penelope
Registered: 05/17/07
Posts: 1
Long ago in a college course on classical mythology, the professor--Dr. Leichty (but that may be misspelled)--discussed the origins of the name Penelope. According to him, it derived from an earlier story about the birth of the woman who would later be the wife of Odysseus. Briefly, the story was that her father considered her to be an unwelcome newborn and decided, according to the custom of that ancient place, to "dispose" of the baby by flinging her far out off the island's high cliffs to fall to the rocks edging the sea far below. To his surprise, a flock of "small purple pin-striped ducks," of a breed that nests in the seaside cliffs, suddenly flew up in a tight formation, caught the falling child on their backs, and bore her back to the cliff top, depositing her at the feet of her astonished father. Being no fool, he decided that this child must be a favorite of the gods and should be brought up accordingly. She was given the name Penelope because, I was told, that was the archaic Greek name for the breed of little ducks that had rescued her.

Hello Penelope,
I have several things on the subject for you:
Online Etymology
1. Penelope
fem. proper name, name of the faithful wife in the "Odyssey," from Gk. Penelopeia, probably related to pene "thread on the bobbin." Used as the type of the virtuous wife (1581) as it was in Latin.
2. Bobbin
1530, from Fr. bobine, small instrument used in sewing or tapestry-making, probably connected with bobbinet "cotton net," or perhaps from L. balbus (see babble </index.php?term=babble>) for the stuttering, stammering noise it made.
Webster Online Dictionary
3a. (Greek mythology) the wife of Odysseus and a symbol of devotion and fidelity; for 10 years while Odysseus fought the Trojan War she resisted numerous suitors until Odysseus returned and killed them.
3b. A genus of guans (turkey-like arboreal birds valued as game and food birds).
First two are from online Etymology.
Three, a + b are from Webster Online.
There seem to be some incoherences.
Etymology leaves out the bird connection at all and
Webster's Dictionary mentions a different kind of bird.
There seems to be some melting together of things, both in the definitions and the story.
I can't think of any ducks that live in trees. Or are there?

Penelops are a species of duck, and do not live in trees. There is some connection, maybe, since it was thought that ducks were monogamous. But, depending on how much faith you have in Wikipedia entries:Quote:
Her name is close to the Greek word for duck but is usually understood to be a combination of the Greek word for web or woof (πηνη) and the word for eye or face (ωψ), very appropriate for a weaver of cunning whose motivation is hard to decipher.

Penelopes Web, A work that never progresses. Penelope, the wife of Ulysses, being importuned by several suitors during her husband's long absence, made reply that she could not marry again, even if Ulysses were dead, till she had finished weaving a shroud for her aged father-in-law. Every night she pulled out what she had woven during the day, and thus the shroud made no progress toward completion.-Greek Mythology.
The French say of a work "never ending, still beginning," c'est l'ouvrage de Penelope.
I prefer Penelope Lapham, a vivacious, but not too pretty daughter of Silas Lapham (1812-1887). Ultimately, Penelope wins the love of her sisters' suitor, despite her sister's skin-deep beauty. This unintentional conquest brings painful complexity to herself, and anguish to her sister. Finally, she yields to her sister's magnaminity, and to the persuasions of her suitor, Tom Corey. Ultimately, Penelope weds Tom.
This is from W.D. Howelles, The Rise of Silas Lapham (1887).
I hope this helped.

What a coinkydinky. There was another book, also called The Rise of Silas Lapham, that was written by a William Dean Howells but published two years earlier.

How serendipitous! As I was searching my source I found a wonderful print of Mr. Pecksniff, " architect and land surveyor". -C Dickens, Martin Chuzzelwit(1843)
Yes, I had too many e's. My source is: The Rev. E. Cobham Brewer, LL.D, Character Sketches of Romance, Fiction, and the Drama, vol.v, M C M I I
The entry on page 181, under Penelope Lapham footnotes, -W. D. Howells, The Rise of Silas Lapham, (1887).
Perhaps the good Reverend made a mistake and Wikipedia is correct.

Perhaps, but my reference was the William Dean Howells Society chronology page. (I see that Wiipedia agrees with them, and they could be correct part of the time if only by chance.) And, for what it's worth, my dead-tree, 11th edition Britannica (1910) gives 1885 as the publication date, but then they could very well be wrong, too. Caveat lector!

Ye Gads, Ebenezer! This is bigger than the bofus!
The editor is Marion Harland. I would supply a link but I am too lazy to learn how to do this. Besides, it's a Wiki.

hello ladies,
My name is LaTonya and I'm a mother of three: Collin 7 yrs, Caiya 22mos., and Chloe' 11weeks. Unfortuantely I've only breast feed two children successfully. I 'd like to know how many of you all wear nursing pads, and if you do how long have you had to wear them... It appears with every child I've nursed including my oldest for only six months during that time I wore nursing pads everyday for six months and while I was pregnant with my third and nursing my second child I wore nursing pads. I guess my question is... When will my breast stop leaking to the point that I'm no longer wearing the nursing pads. Are there any tricks you all may have for me to keep them from leaking even when I'm not nursing?
Thanks for taking the time to listen,
Mother of three in Tampa

He Pitched a Perfect Game, I Get a Perfect Ball!
My heart skipped a beat when I got home late last night after a wonderful dinner with friends at El Torito and I openned Facebook to the news from Roberto of Vinscullyismyhomeboy that Vin was taken to the hospital. My heart settled after I heard that he was OK.
Josh Rawitch from the ITD (InsidetheDodgers) blog spoke to him. Vin wanted to assure everyone that he's fine and that he expects to be at Camelback Ranch this weekend for the telecast on Sunday.
Clayton Kershaw turns 22 today! Happy 22nd birthday to Clayton! We love you kid!
Torre is supposed to announce the Opening Day starter. I hope is Kershaw!
Last but not least!!!!
So I am in the back of the car, my friend Marika and her son in the front. We are crusing thru the diamond lane on the 10 Freeway when my phone rings. This guy says "Emma, this is Jeff…… Were you at the Safe At Home Foundation event at the Nokia?
I said "Yes! I had a wonderful time there!" He then says "Well, I am calling you to tell you that you were selected as the winner of the baseball signed by Joe Torre and Sandy Koufax!"
I screamed "WHAT!? WOW! OMG! I CAN'T BELIEVE THIS!" WOW "You made my day! my week! my season! .." "THANK YOU SOOOO MUCH!!! " He said 'We knew we had the right person when we saw your email name crzblue"
Jeff said he did not have the ball but that he talked to Torre and it was decided that I will be presented with the ball at Dodger Stadium sometime in April. I AM SO EXCITED ABOUT THIS!!!! WOOHOO!!
Thank you Safe At Home Foundation! Thank you Mr. Torre! Thank you Sandy Koufax! Thank you Jeff!

thank you Erik for the title suggestion!

OMG, Emma! How exciting that you won that ball!!!!! And the fact that they're presenting it to you at the stadium is icing on the cake. I hope you'll be on TV so I can see the ceremony.
Hi Emma,
Saw your comment on the She Fan blog, so I came over to see what all the fuss was. WOW! What a cool thing – Joe Torre AND Sandy Koufax! That is absolutely wonderful – congratulations!
Emma, that is so exciting! Thank goodness you were a passenger and not the driver when you took that call – I hate to imagine what might have happened otherwise.🙂 And how cool that it will be presented to you at the stadium! Make sure you post pictures of this momentous occasion!
Rants, Raves, and Random Thoughts
Can you imagine that they picked my entry!? I think I drove Jeff a little crazy when he called me.
Thanks Melissa! I can't wait!
I was telling a friend that I was a little tamed on the car since my friend's son picked us up. She said "that was tamed!" lol. And you are right that it was just as well that I was not driving!
Good news! Seems fitting on of their best fans gets the ball
Can you imagine a season without Vinny? Life, as we know it, would be over.
What a treat that would be for any baseball fan! Congrats! It's good to know that Vin is okay.http://clevelandbaseball.mlblogs.com/
Thank you so much Knouff!
I don't want to imagine a season wtihout Vinny. Vinny is the reason why I carry a radio. I have gone thru so many radios throught the years. A trip to the restroom or on the elevator or anywhere close to where there is a TV is nice since we can listen to Vin. I don't want to think of life without him. I just want to fully enjoy him. I tape games that I can watch in the offseason.
Indians! Thanks! Yes, Thank God that Vin is OK. He will be at Camelback on Sunday and I can't wait to hear those magic words "Is Time for Dodger Baseball!"
Wow Emma, an autograph ball by Koufax and Torre !!,I'm so jealous just kidding you deserved that and more congrats.
Good to see Scully is ok, Looking forward to watch sunday game.
GET OUT!!! SWEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEET! I'd be jumpin' for joy too. See! It does pay to give, be generous, help others. Great story. I'm cheesin' for ya!

Outside the Phillies Looking In
LOL..Emma, you are one lucky Dodger fan! Congrats! Be sure to keep us posted on which game you go on the field to get the ball.
Way to go Emma,
Congrats on the ball….Bet that will be in a safe place in your house.
Also a sigh of relief that Dodger Broadcast legend Vin Scully is okay. Bet more than a few hearts skipped a beat even hearing the news out on the West Coast.
I can bet there will be photos of the great moment with Dodger Manager Joe Torre.
Good things happen to good fans, and I am extremely glad to hear some of that good karma went to someone like you.
Rays Renegade
Thank you! You are the best! Don't forget to tape Vin!
Thanks Jeff!!

The engine in the Volvo B7R, the Volvo D7, is a modern 7-litre, six-cylinder common rail diesel engine with a turbocharger and an intercooler. It meets the Euro 3/Euro 4/Euro 5 emissions requirements.
Powerful brakes
The brakes on the B7R are of the same effective type as fitted to Volvo's larger buses. The brake area totals 6,865 cm² and they offer high safety, immense durability and long service life. ABS anti-locking brakes are available as an option to further enhance safety levels. Asbestos-free brake linings have long been fitted as standard on all Volvo buses.
A well adapted powertrain
The rest of the powertrain is adapted to enable the engine to provide as much power as possible. There are two automatic transmissions from which to choose. Both feature an integral retarder for enhanced braking capacity. There is also a choice of two manual gearboxes from Volvo. Both the manual and the automatic transmissions have been developed to provide the best possible driveability and to harness the maximum power from the engine.
High degree of ride comfort
The Volvo B7R is fitted with air suspension, which effectively compensates for irregularities in the road surface and offers a high degree of ride comfort. Stabilizers are fitted as standard on both the front and rear axles, minimizing the tendency to roll.

For the syrup
Line the base and sides of a 20cm/8in square cake tin (not loose-based) with greaseproof paper and butter the paper. Set oven to 180C/Gas 4/fan oven 160C.
Cream the butter and sugar together until light. Gradually beat in the eggs, adding a little flour towards the end to prevent curdling. Beat in the lime zest, then fold in the flour and almonds. Fold in enough lime juice – about 3 tablespoons – to give you a good dropping consistency (the mixture should drop easily from the spoon when tapped).
Fold in three quarters of the blueberries and raspberries and turn into the prepared tin. Smooth the surface, then scatter the remaining fruit on top – it will sink as the cake rises.
Bake for about 1 hour (cover with foil if beginning to brown too much), or until firm to a gentle prod in the centre. A skewer pushed into the centre should be clean when removed.
Meanwhile make the syrup: put the lime juice, zest and sugar in a small saucepan. Put over a gentle heat and stir, without allowing to bubble. The sugar should dissolve a little. As soon as the cake comes out of the oven, prick all over with a skewer then spoon the syrup over it. To store, cool before wrapping in paper and/or foil.
Carefully remove the cake from the tin, discard the lining paper and cut into 12 pieces to serve.

Great recipe. Made for work, was asked why I didn't bake for work more often! Also was asked for the recipe multiple times. I only used three limes for the syrup, but I didn't feel it needed more. Doesn't need to be cooked for an hour, 35mins was plenty, and I should have covered with foil as it browned very quickly.
I was looking forward to making this after all the other comments but unfortunately it didn't turn out as expected - I halved everything and baked in a loaf tin as I don't have a square tin but after adding the syrup the cake was completely soggy. The fruit not only sank to the bottom but created a layer of mush (maybe because I used frozen fruit?) and overall it was far too sweet (and believe me, I like sweet!). Disappointed :-(
Questions (4)
Tips (2)
I was too lazy to line the cake tin properly and it fell apart when trying to remove it, so take the time for it! (it was really sad as I harvested the raspberries myself, such a nice feeling and then cake destroyed sniff, sniff)
Another tip, the syrup makes the cake too sweet, for people who do not like extremely sweet stuff, I would definitely recommend using less than a third of the syrup!
I just ate the cake and despite the problems just mentioned I think it is a recipe with potential, next time I will slightly adjust the recipe and make cupcakes instead :)

Let's move poverty discussionJanuary 08,2014
Today marks the 50th anniversary of the "War on Poverty" announced by President Johnson in 1964. With this declaration the president put in motion legislation and policies establishing the Office of Economic Opportunity and programs such as Head Start, Medicaid, Medicare, Pell Grants, and expansions to Social Security and nutrition programs including WIC and food stamps. A network of community action agencies was created, blanketing our nation with grass-roots poverty alleviation and economic development programs.
There are five community action agencies reaching all corners of Vermont with programs to alleviate the suffering caused by poverty (food, fuel, housing assistance); teach people the knowledge and skills needed to move out of poverty; support local economic activity through business development and job creation; help young parents and their children to be ready to start school; and reduce the energy demands and costs of heating homes through weatherization.
Each year thousands of Vermonters participate in these programs and services. Many of them come from working households but hold low-wage jobs with few, if any, benefits such as paid sick days and health care coverage. Some have physical or mental disabilities while others, including our retirees, are surviving on fixed incomes.
The War on Poverty was a terrific sound bite even by today's social media and Internet standards; however, it suggested an eventual endpoint and promise of a utopian future where everyone would enjoy a sufficient quality of life and living standard. To say that such a war has been won would be disingenuous at best; however, to suggest that it has been lost would be equally inaccurate, if not more so.
According to an April 2013 report from the Center on Budget and Policy Priorities, in 2010 federal safety net programs kept 25 million Americans out of poverty. At that time, 46.2 million people lived in households defined as poor according to federal guidelines, a national poverty rate of 15.1 percent. In the absence of safety net programs, those additional 25 million people living in poverty would have increased our national poverty rate to 23.3 percent — nearly one in four Americans. This is unacceptable in a nation of plenty.
We are also experiencing a growing gap in the distribution of resources as evidenced by a declining middle class and a greater consolidation of wealth among a smaller percentage of extremely wealthy individuals. These folks have been labeled by some as "job creators" — yet where are these jobs and what do they pay? Of those who use community action services, 40 percent are working at least part time but not earning enough to pay their bills.
Over the next few weeks, the national debate most likely will focus on whether the War on Poverty has been won. Citing failure, some policymakers and political pundits will argue for deeper cuts to safety net programs that have already been slashed to the bone, pushing more Americans deeper into poverty and despair. Who will suffer most from this reckless behavior? Our senior citizens, our veterans, people with disabilities and our children, whom we should be preparing for a future of productivity and opportunity.
I suggest that we move the discourse in a more productive direction. Let's focus on the solutions and strategies we can pursue together as a community to alleviate the suffering of our friends and neighbors. Let's continue to build partnerships and collaboration, what we do best in Vermont, to support economic activity, educational opportunity and engaged citizen leaders. We need policymakers to support home weatherization assistance, child care subsidies, asset development/matched savings initiatives, the Vermont Women's Business Center and other entrepreneurship programs that help Vermonters create businesses and jobs for themselves and for others, and a strong earned income tax credit.
We need the private philanthropic community to close the gap where government assistance falls short in keeping food shelves stocked, providing shelter for the homeless, keeping families warm in the winter and in funding innovative programs to effectively move people out of poverty permanently. We need volunteers to help stretch limited resources and engage younger generations in the important work of community building and helping others.
While the War on Poverty may not yet be won, it has made a difference for millions of Americans and tens of thousands of Vermonters by reducing suffering and improving their quality of life. With each family, each individual that we help lift up out of poverty, we are investing in our community and in a future of prosperity that will benefit each and every one of us. It's the right thing to do. It's the Vermont way.
Hal Cohen, of Middlesex, is executive director of the Central Vermont Community Action Council.MORE IN CommentarySure, you can buy your uncle a necktie that he wont wear, or your niece an Amazon certificate...

Turkey Vultures in Bodega Bay
We recently had a flock of turkey vultures hanging out in the field behind our house here in Bodega Bay. Bobcats and herons have been feasting on a seemingly endless supply of moles and gophers in the past weeks. Maybe they drop little bits of their prey and the turkey vultures clean them up?
Anyway, far from the most beautiful of birds here on the coast, we took photos anyway. I did a little research and found some interesting turkey vulture facts as well. Warning, this is not for the squeamish, some of it's rather gross.
The turkey vulture is a scavenger and feeds almost exclusively on carrion (carcass of a dead animal). It finds its meals using its keen vision and sense of smell, flying low enough to detect the gasses produced by the beginnings of the process of decay in dead animals.
These birds will devour the most putrid of meat and have a natural immunity to toxins that might kill other creatures. Botulism has no effect on the turkey vulture at all. They deposit their own droppings down their legs as these contain an antiseptic coating that protects them from contracting infection through the prey. Their bald heads are also vulnerable to various bacteria, however the sun kills these off before any harm occurs. They are often seen standing in a spread-winged stance. The stance is believed to serve multiple functions: drying the wings, warming the body, and baking off bacteria.
Even though turkey vultures have an ugly, bare-skinned face, they are beautiful in flight. They gracefully soar over large areas searching for food. In flight, they use thermals to move through the air, flapping their wings infrequently.
Lacking a syrinx—the vocal organ of birds—its only vocalizations are grunts or low hisses. Turkey vultures nest in caves, hollow trees, or thickets. They generally raising two chicks per year, which they feed by regurgitation. They have very few natural predators.
Even though they're somewhat unattractive, turkey vultures obviously play an important role in nature. By removing the carcasses of decaying animals, they limit the spread of disease and other health concerns. In the United States of America, the vulture receives legal protection under the Migratory Bird Treaty Act of 1918.

The vast majority of classical philosophers believed in the inherent goodness of humanity, and all things being equal, even anecdotal evidence suggests that for all the evil in the world, there has to be a lot more good, because the population is always on the rise. So we're living more than dying, and there aren't assholes kicking us in the nuts on every street corner. More or less we're good. Or at least we're in the middle of good and evil. We're room temperature. You're not setting orphanages on fire or anything, but maybe you're a litterer. Whatevs. That being said, there are some places in the world, some specific times and events, where goodness is checked at the door and humanity itself decays into an awkward, terrible beast of a thing that would never be allowed in other circumstances, and yet, for this limited time and space, it is so expected and normal, we never even bat an eye when we're a part of it.

There are various medications than can lead to a number of adverse side effects, and exposure to certain chemicals can lead to serious behavioral and cognitive difficulties as well. But nothing on Earth is as damaging to the human psyche as a steering wheel. Once behind the wheel of a car, a certain number of people become tyrants, rulers of a mobile realm where only they may make decisions and conduct business, and woe be to all others who dare bring their steel chariots to bear on the same day at the same time, because those people are all cockholes.
AAA says at least 1,500 people a year are killed in senseless traffic disputes. If that's how many die, I'm going to throw caution to the wind and say about a million times as many people hear "Eat my ass, you blind chucklefuck!" screamed out of a window at them. Sociologists and psychologists chalk this behavior up to things like a breakdown in our sense of community or the power one feels behind the wheel of a car, but in fact, in my expert opinion as a guy who uses the word "chucklefuck" in sentences, it's because some people have broken asshole switches.
Oli Scarff/Getty Images News/Getty Images
"Bitches know better than to cut me off!"
Every one of us has an asshole switch, even the Dalai Lama, but that dude keeps it on the down low at all times and is pretty cool with everything. So are most people. So when you get cut off in traffic, your asshole switch gets flipped, and for a moment you think, "That was unkind, I would like to see that other driver eaten alive by chiggers and famished hobos while his family watches and signs over all his assets to me." But then that moment passes, and you fiddle with the radio because some asinine DJ is trying to make you listen to a Pitbull song, and fuck that. Other people can't flip the switch back, however, and that's where road rage is born. They get cut off and immediately think the other driver must be cleansed from the gene pool through any means necessary, up to and including verbal abuse and a tire iron.
This reaction to a mild inconvenience is what is generally considered "insane" in most other forums. If you're at the supermarket and you're approaching a checkout counter when an old lady scoots in front of you, most people would think that bashing her skull in with a can of beans is somewhat unnecessary. In fact, yelling at that old lady about how she sucks cock and needs to go back to school to learn how to shop is probably overkill as well. If it's not acceptable at the Piggly Wiggly, it's not acceptable on the highway.
3 Spring Break
Getty Images/Lifesize/Getty Images
If you've never experienced spring break, you've denied yourself a life-changing experience, and also saved yourself a potentially traumatic one. Spring break is fucked up. Do you need an anecdote? I have one!
I was on a beach during spring break in my second year of college. It was about 11 a.m., and I and everyone I knew had drunk so much at that point, at 11 a.m., that we needed to take a break from consuming alcohol because it had grown so tiresome and stomach turning that we were destined to spend the rest of the day vomiting and weeping if it kept up. This beach was packed with college kids and loud music coming from a stage where some local radio station was desperately trying to be relevant, and girls were flashing boobs for about four seconds at a time on camera for sleazy guys who just needed to have a camera to convince them to do such a thing. I watched in stunned amazement as a man who appeared to be in his early 20s dropped to a crouch in the surf and proceeded to shit in the ocean in front of hundreds of strangers, one of whom, upon seeing the shitting man, joined in the shitting. Another person witnessed this act of public defecation and thought, "That man's a problem solver!" and joined in on the act of publicly, openly, and proudly feeding the Atlantic recycled beers and burritos.
"Hey, America's future, stop shitting on my house."
For one week, and I dare say this may prove true of Mardi Gras participants, the very notion that a party is or should be happening makes everyone in and around spring break try to make Rodney Dangerfield's fictional adventures into reality. Spent last semester in med school learning how to tell the difference between the inferior and superior vena cava? Awesome, now put this tube in your ass so we can fill your stank chamber with Four Loko, because we're all going to head down to the pool and smacks strangers with our genitals!
There's something about a weeklong party that makes normal party rules totally obsolete and inspires people (and the fact that they're usually college students makes it all the more sad) to engage in behavior you'll only ever otherwise see in something written by Eli Roth or Larry Flynt.
Nearly every year there's a story of a student falling to his death from a balcony on spring break because, on spring break, a balcony is as alluring as a swarm of unicorns counting fat stacks of cash whilst staring at nude photos of celebrities -- it's impossible to resist. Every year someone ends up in a hospital with alcohol poisoning, a thousand girls show up topless on the Internet, and apparently people shit in the sea. Does any of this happen when celebrating President's Day? Very rarely.

My son is a week old and had to go to formula because he was becoming dehydrated, lost too much weight and was also jaundiced. But now that he is back on track, we wanted to reattempt breastfeeding and had some problems.
We struggled to get him back to the breast. He'd scream and refused to latch on. If he did latch on, he would suck a few times and then still scream. We did finally have a small victory today and he did nurse on my breast for 10 minutes or so, with the help of a nipple shield. It sounded like he was sucking and swallowing, but I didn't see a ton of milk in the chamber of the nipple shield. Eventually he became upset again and gave up. Then when I pumped afterwards, I found that my output was about the same on that one breast, as if he didn't really get anything.
Firstly, do you have any tips for getting past nipple confusion? I've tried while he was awake, sleepy, using drops of milk on my nipple, expressing by hand... out of ideas other than just perseverance!
Secondly, I know that my flow is rather slow. Is it possible that it is too difficult for my son to get the nourishment he needs? I can see that while I'm pumping I just get slow drips, never any sprays, even during letdowns. I also know my supply is not currently enough to meet his demand and that we'll most likely have to supplement anyway.
I mostly want to breastfeed because of the convenience, aside from health benefits. The thought of exclusively pumping again (which I did for my older son) makes me cringe. But if my flow is slow and nursing is going to take me 40 min each time, I'm not sure if I'll have the patience for it.


text:
I haven't read all of the replies, but I just wanted to give you a word of encouragement. My first two babes would only take a 20 minute break in between feedings unless they were sleeping. I was told with my first that I HAD to supplement. I did, but only at night, and only that 4 oz. I was so stressed, and constantly feared my supply was low. Now, looking back, I don't believe it was. I would say, if you have the patience and time to nurse that baby often, nurse that baby often. As long as she is gaining weight and happy, you shouldn't worry. Also, I can't pump worth a darn either. Some women just don't pump well.
Oh! One more thing! My kids are so sweet and loving, and I am convinced it's because I nursed them when they wanted to nurse. They had a ton of physical closeness that first year of life, and now I'm so grateful I stuck it out. Take care!

Max>even the entire Bible is available in Klingon!
What a great idea! Do you know where I can find this Bible in Klingon - as a tour guide in the land where the Bible was written, it would be incumbent upon me to have it available in as many languages as possible and be able to quote from at least some of them - I mean, what if I should actually get a tour group of visiting Klingons (not impossible the way things are here these days - they may be the only ones not afraid to come) and they don't understand my references at different sites!
Truth is - I don't know Esperanto either - could someone point me to a site that is recommended for better understanding this global language???
wonder what that would translate to in Klingon?_________________________

You mean to tell me, Max, that someone was actually able to translate all that turn-the-other-cheek, love-your-neighbor new testament stuff into Klingon? I would've thought there were no Klingon words to express such concepts. Live and learn.

New to this discussion, I have yet to see any mention of power. When the French were powerful, their language was the most important at top-level meetings. When the British Empire existed English took the place of French. Now that the USA is the most powerful country, English is the main world language because of the power of the USA, not Britain. Esperanto has no power behind it, so enthusiasts like me must accept that it will not become the second language for all. But it has a place for all who are interested in international communication on a basis of equality; and these are many. Opponents of Esperanto should first qualify in the language, then test its efficacy by participating for at least two years in some of the very many organised Esperanto meetings held all over the world. Otherwise they do not know what they are talking about.

Dear David Curtis: I think that the dominance of a language depends on the economic
advantages it can offer its speakers. A strong economy makes employment for its
speakers, both domestic and foreign, and at the same time makes military power possible.
America's military did not become powerful until the economy was strong enough to
provide the funds for it.

Welcome, David.
I take your point that no-one can know the full value or internal qualities of a language (such as Esperanto) without tasting it on their own tongue over time. However, I do not think we can therefore dismiss all others' views on such a construction leaving commentary only to those with a vested interest either. That would be somewhat akin to denying me the right to decry murder just because I have never murdered anyone.
I agree with you about the relationship of language and power. Indeed that was one of my early points, in suggesting the almost accidental way in which forms of English have gained such worldwide pre-eminence:
The current state of English as the de facto world language is largely a historical accident of two major world empires having used the same core language. Other peoples now adopt it out of choice to enable their personal needs and dreams.

Just a question. Is it true that Chinese is actually a body of several languages? That provinces in China speak different kinds of Chinese and that members of certain provinces cannot understand the spoken Chinese of others? The reason I ask this is I once knew someone from China who told me he couldn't understand some Chinese speakers. However, he grew up in America, was fluent speaking with his immediate relatives, and had only been to China once in his life. That's where he encountered problems when traveling around the country. His problem may have been isolated.
Anyway, if anyone knows more about this, please post here.
Best regards,

Lidge: 11 Strikes, And He's Out…Or Is He?
The Phillies needed a win last night to bury the Florida Marlins and end any chance they may have at the playoffs. Cole Hamels pitched 7 innings and allowed 4 runs on 8 hits. Not a great day for Cole, but it kept the team in the game.
The team took a 6-4 lead into the 8th inning last night and after a 45 minute rain delay, Ryan Madson pitched the 8th. Madson gave up a single, hit the next batter and eventually gave up one run to make it a 6-5 game. Ok, fine. They should still win the game, right? Wrong.
Enter (again) Brad Lidge: a double, a walk and 2 singles later, not only does Lidge blow the save, but he loses the game for the Phillies…again.
11 blown saves later, a disgusting 7.48 ERA which leads all closers in baseball and what does manager Charlie Manuel have to say about it? In a Forrest Gump moment, Manuel tells the media, "I've got confidence in him. I keep sending him back out there and hopefully he does the job. That's about all I can say." Really? Is that ALL you have to say about that??? OMG.

Is that ALL you have to say about that??? OMG.
Ok, let me throw a cushion out there for a second – we all love Manuel and we all appreciate Lidge for what he did last year. And as people, they are both very nice, dedicated and all-around good guys. That being said, here come the pins in the cushion. Lidge is DONE as this team's closer, at least for 2009. Manuel, as loyal as he is, needs to put the TEAM first and personal feelings aside. He cannot continue to let Lidge hurt this team!
I sound like a broken record again, I know. But how many more disasters does the rest of this team have to put up with? They play their hearts out every game to win only to be let down by BOTH Lidge and Manuel. Lidge clearly has issues and maybe he can work them out in the off-season and come back next year renewed. But for 2009, he should be benched and if the team makes the playoffs, he should not even be on the post-season roster.
Note I said "if" the team makes the playoffs. With a 6.5 game lead, it should be a lock. However, if Manuel keeps throwing Lidge out there, I'd say the chances are closer to 50/50. Give the closers role to Madson or Brett Myers, if he gets healthy or even JC Romero if he returns soon. I would rather see Eric "unassisted triple play" Bruntlett (Phillies utility player) on the mound than Lidge at this point. It is THAT bad. So, why does everyone see this except for Manuel?
Charlie: I love ya, but if this team goes down in flames because of your loyalty to Lidge, the Philadelphia fans, media and maybe even the team management will tear you to pieces. And how are the other players going to feel when their hard work goes down the toilet as a result? I would not want to be in your shoes when this happens.
And so the Magic Number stays at 5 since the Phillies lost their series to the Fish, 1-2. Up next, the Phils will play a 4-game series in Milwaukee against the Brewers starting tonight at 8:05pm. I wish them luck and a "Lidge-Free" day.

I definitely thought of you when I saw this news last night. All I can say is: WOW. (And I hope he stays in long enough for the Cards to knock him out in the playoffs😉
I'm confused. I thought it was announced that Lidge would no longer be the Phillies' closer? Or maybe I just read your wishful thinking on this blog. LOL! Either way, there's nothing funny about how frustrated you must be. I wouldn't want him on the mound for my team at this point! Yikes!
I'm wondering… is that a new record? 11 Blown Saves! Geeeeez Louise.
: )
Lidge isn't one of my favorite guys. Just check out http://redstatebluestate.mlblogs.com/ for their latest rendition on how bad he is. I never like a guy like that and in Boston thank god we have Pap.😉
That is scary when you have to cover your eyes when your closer comes to the mound. Our closer had some issues during August but now is lights out.
Man, Lidge is having some serious problems. This is coming after a season when he didn't blow a single game.

You like to freely use the word evolution so much, look at it this way, two of the same bird could have helped evolve different species of birds.
An answer to The "Noahs Ark Story"
How did the flood occur and how did the animals get to the Ark?
If God is really God, he could have caused the flood, a supernatural event, to occur. Does it not also make sense that God could cause pairs of animals to migrate to the location of the ark? Notice the phrase in Genesis chapter 6, verse 20: "two of every kind will come to you." Also, Genesis chapter 7, verse 9 states the animals "went into the ark to Noah." The answer is simple, Noah did not go and get the animals, God did.
"the fountains of the great deep" and "the windows of heaven." Science has discovered large underwater springs, so it is easy to imagine "fountains of the great deep" being opened by God, allowing the pressurized water to contribute to the flood. It has also been proposed that the Earth used to have much denser clouds than it has now. Such a "canopy" would create a greenhouse effect, making the climate of the entire world very temperate. Fossil finds indicate that not just the dinosaurs, but all animals, plants, and insects were much larger at one time—indicating a superior climate. At the time of the flood, it would have been easy for God to allow this canopy (or a large percentage of it) to fall as water. If almost everything fell at once, it would not have been like rain, it would have been like opening "the windows of heaven." The crushing splash of water would have quickly drowned all people and animals that found themselves suddenly and unexpectedly immersed in water.

How did all those animals fit on the ark?
First, you should notice that different "kinds" of animals were brought onto the ark (Gen 6:20). Unlike the more recently introduced terms "genus," "species," and so forth, the Bible's "kinds" can be thought of as what the "average person" would call an animal. For example, there may be many species of doves, but they are all still doves. Therefore, doves would be a "kind" of animal (bird, actually). Scientists have calculated the average size of the different kinds of animals (except for dinosaurs). It comes out to be about the size of a sheep. Based on this, we believe that all the "kinds" of animals would have taken up about one-third (1/3) of the room on the ark. That would leave plenty of room for Noah's family and a year's supply of food.
What about dinosaurs, were they on the ark and could they fit?
We believe dinosaurs were on the ark. The solution to getting the large ones on the ark is in using young dinosaurs. They take up less room, they eat less, and they have more of their reproductive life left for restarting the population.

All of the words
Any of the words
The exact words(phrase)
Ove Braskerud (1872-1899)
Braskerud participated on the second Fram expedition with Otto Sverdrup to northwest Greenland and the islands north of Canada 1898-1902. He died during the expedition at the age of 27.
Ove Braskerud was born in Våler in Solør in Hedmark county. At the age of 19 he became a smith's apprentice for two years before working at the main arsenal machine shop (Hovedarsenalets Verksteder) and then as a mechanic at Frognerkilens Fabrikk. He then returned to the family farm until he in 1897 was employed as electrical installer at Norsk Elektrisk Aktiebolag.
On being accepted on Sverdrup's expedition, he was sent to England for a couple of months to learn various types of machinery, since he was to be both stoker and machine expert on the Fram. During the first winter, on the east coast of Ellesmere Island, Sverdrup started planning to winter the following year on the northwest coast of Greenland. In the early spring he would then sledge around and map the far north of Greenland. Braskerud and Ivar Fosheim were given the job of building a hut to be erected on the coast.
The following winter was, however, spent further west – on the south coast of Ellesmere Island. In September 1899 Braskerud was taken ill with what was thought to be a cold, but was probably pneumonia, and he died in October This was the second death on the 16-man expedition. He was buried through a hole in the sea ice and a memorial cross was erected on land nearby. The cross is still standing, but without the original arm and name plate.
"Victory awaits him, who has everything in order - luck we call it. Defeat is definitely due for him, who has neglected to take the necessary precautions - bad luck we call it"

Your home environment has the most immediate impact on your health. And the good news is that you have some control here!
In your home, the important environmental factors include:
A healthy home environment also contributes to, rather than detracts from, its immediate vicinity. It does not negatively impact the plants, animals, or people "living downstream" from it by emitting toxins, such as cleaning or gardening byproducts, into its surroundings. A healthy home also contributes to sustainability, minimizing waste and utilizing and refreshing local resources.
You face many of the same health challenges on the job as you do at home. For example, in an older building, there could be lead in the drinking water. Or if your workplace is unavoidably noisy, such as a construction site, your sound pollution risk is increased.
However, the most common workplace environmental concern is air quality. This is particularly true in manufacturing, farming, mining, cleaning/maintenance, and other professions that rely heavily on chemical use.

Brick Wall Research – Arthur Hanratty
My GGG Grandmother, Mary Ryan or Hanratty, was born in the mid 1830's at Dungog, New South Wales. No record of her birth has been found. According to her death certificate in 1909, her father's name was Arthur Hanratty (Pig Merchant).
The following information is everything that I have been able to find on 'Arthur Hanratty'. I am yet to establish if he was Mary's father but investigations show he was living in the Dungog area in 1841.
- Robert or Arthur Hanratty was born about 1806/1808 in Armagh Ireland. He came to New South Wales, on board the convict ship 'Mangles 5' in 1827. His name in is listed as Robert Hauraltly.
- In 1834, Robert is listed in the Convicts Applications to marry Ellenaor Hanratty (alias Moran). The application was granted. From the marriage index it shows 'Robert or Arthur Hanratty per Mangles 5 to Ellen Hanratty per Edward alias Moran, were joined in together in wedlock by me this 19th Day of September 1834 at Sydney.
- From checking both the indents for Robert & Ellen, they were both tried at Monaghan, Ireland on the 7th August 1827. Robert was convicted of pick pocketing and Ellen for stealing money.
- Robert Hanratty alias Johnston received a Certificate of Freedom on the 25th August 1834, (per Mangles (5).
- We next locate an Arthur Hanratty in the State Records – CSreLand index. Item 2/7874 Reel 1136. This shows that he purchased two lots of land at Clarencetown. This is confirmed from the details in the Sydney Gazette dated 24/4/1841 and the deeds are dated: Deeds dated 25th February, 1841. Item 28 Arthur Hanraty. 2 roads, Clarence town lot and iItem 29 Ditto, 2 roads, ditto, lot 1
- In the Hunter Valley Directory of 1841, Arthur is listed at: St Leonards, Dungong , purchased lands at Clarence Town.
- It's also noted that in the same Hunter Valley directory a Robert Johnston is listed at Boatfall, Dungong District. Maybe this is just a co-incidence.
- From they Sydney Gazette & NSW Advertiser (NSW: 1803-1842 – date: 17th March 1842 – Arthur Henrietty and two other men (James Cox & Richard Cox) were indicated under a charge of feloniously killing and carrying away one cow, the property of Mr. Thomas Holmes, at a place called Russell Farm. Verdict not guilty.
- The Sydney Gazette and New South Wales Advertiser (NSW : 1803-1842) – Thursday 17 March 1842 – Arthur Henreity -indicted for feloniously stealing and killing, with the intent to carry away, three cows, the property of Mr Richard Lang. Arthur pleaded not guilty. The jury, after a short absence, returned a verdict of guilty. Sentence, fourteen years transporation.
- After checking the Colonial Secretary's Correspondence microfiche (1826-1872) I find the following information in reference to Robert Hanratty. A look at the original documents at the State Records office at Kingswood shows:
- Item: 4/2638.5: 27th January 1844 – Robert Hanratty alias Johnston (Mangles 5), listed on a list of 50 prisoners being transferred from Cockatoo Island to Norfolk Island on the ship 'The Duke of Richmond'. Sentence 14 years: Tried: 9th March 1842. I have yet to find any information on when Robert arrived at Cockatoo Island but from looking at the sentence and the trial date, that this is the same person as the Arthur Henreity that was convicted of killing the 3 cows. The ship 'The Duke of Richmond' was a convict ship that arrived in Hobart on the 2nd January 1844 with 111 convicts from England. The ship then left Hobart and arrived in Sydney on its way to Norfolk Island.
- Item: 4/2658: 13th May 1844 – List of Prisoners employed as Domestic Servants to officers at Norfolk Island. Name of Officer: Rev William Welch, Name of Servant: Robert Hanratty.
- Now this is where things are a little tricky. The following is in relation to an Arthur Hanratty (alias Arthur Clarke). Arthur Hanratty is listed with an Eliza Hanratty in 1856 on the Deposition Papers and convicted of Horse Stealing at Maitland. I am yet to find out what sentence Eliza received or what connection she had to Arthur but Arthur received a 5 year sentence 'on the roads'.
- After checking the Colonial Secretary's Correspondence microfiche (1826-1872), I find the following information for Arthur Hanratty (alias Clarke). Item: 4/3382: Arthur Hanratty, alias Clarke is listed on a list of prisoners at Cockatoo Island who were considered for 'convict indulgence' during the month of July 1858. Arthur Hanratty: Ship: Indian Ocean, Tried: Maitland, When Tried: 14th May 1856,Offence: Horse Stealing and stealing a cart, Sentence: 5 years to be served concurrently,District to which Ticket of Leave to be issued: Goulburn Item: 4/507: 6th August 1863 – Petition of Arthur Clark or Hanratty a Prisoner at Cockatoo Island for release of his sentence after 3 years and 9 months. States his conduct has been good. He arrived at Cockatoo Island on the 9th October 1859.
- NSW Police Gazette 1863 – Arthur Clarke or Hanratty, per "Indian Ocean," 1853; convicted at the Criminal Court, Sydney, on 3rd October, 1859, of horse-stealing, and stealing a cart, and sentenced to 5 years on the roads ; again convicted at the Maitland Quarter Sessions, on the 14th May, 1856, on two charges of horse-stealing, and sentenced to 5 years to the roads, to be served concurrently.
- In 1863, Arthur Clarke's (alias Hanratty), Tickets-of-Leave was cancelled.
- From the 1864 NSW Police Gazette: Arthur ANDREWS alias HANRATTY convicted on 2 counts of horse stealing. From Dr. Harris and Mr OAKES both of Parramatta. Tried April 1864 at Maitland Circuit Court, sentenced to 3years hard labour at Maitland Gaol. This is also located on the NLA Website ( Article 1 and Article 2).
General Comments
- Are Robert Hanratty alias Arthur Hanratty (Mangles 5, who arrived in 1827) and Arthur Hanratty (Indian Ocean – 1853), the same person? They were of the same age, they lived in the same area in New South Wales, and were both born around the same time in County Armagh, Ireland.
- From the Police Gazette in 1863 Arthur Hanratty, alias Clarke stated that he had arrived as an immigrant to Portland Bay in the year 1853. Checking the shipping indexes, the Indian Ocean arrived in 1854 to Portland Bay and there is no record of an Arthur Clarke, Arthur Hanratty, or Robert Hanratty (or various spellings) listed as a passenger on the Indian Ocean.
Next Steps
- What happened to Robert Hanratty after his arrival at Norfolk Island in 1844?
- Did he finish his sentence?
- Did he receive a pardon, ticket of leave?
- Did he return to New South Wales and if so, how? Or did he end up in Victoria and change his name to 'Clarke'?
- Eliza Hanratty convicted Horse Stealing in 1856, was she sent to H M Parramatta Gaol? A child named Robert Hanratty (parents Arthur & Eliza) died aged 2 at H M Parramatta in 1857. He was apparently born in Melbourne but a search of the Melbourne BDM indexes found no reference to a birth of a Robert Hanratty (or variant spellings) around 1855. So was Robert the son of Arthur & Eliza Hanratty who were convicted of Horse Stealing in 1856?

Christian education helps equip God's people to enjoy God's creation, to learn and grow constantly, and to contribute to building God's kingdom. My passion is bringing Christian education to all ages, including young adults and older adults. I've enjoyed teaching writing and critical thinking as a high school teacher in Florida and Iowa. I love teaching future teachers, which I did extensively in Indiana before joining the Dordt faculty in 2014. And I get a special thrill in working with adult and graduate students, something I also experienced extensively in Indiana.
At Dordt I teach undergrad philosophy of education and graduate curriculum courses and direct the graduate program for teachers. I also bring to Dordt my experiences in program assessment, accreditation, and new program development.
