Career Services > Internships
How will an internship help me?
As you might expect, an internship can help you in a few ways:
• Apply knowledge you've learned in the classroom in a professional setting
• Find out if a career field is right for you (or not)
• Make connections with people doing the kind of work you want to do
• Get real-world experience that will impress employers more than major or GPA
What types of things might I do in an internship?
You will not fetch coffee! Though some administrative tasks can be expected, internships
will provide you the opportunity to do entry-level work under supervision and contribute to
the organization. Internships differ according to career field, but every internship has one
thing in common: Learning. Often, the amount that you learn is up to you: Be sure you ask
good questions and show that you're willing to work hard!
What's the difference between an internship, co-op, practicum, clinical, etc.?
Good question! Experiential education describes any situation in which you are actively
engaged in hands-on learning experiences outside of the classroom. There are many types
of experiential education:
• Internship: typically a semester or academic year-long experience; allows students a
first-hand look at a particular career or industry
• Co-op: most commonly a full-time, paid experience in which you work for an
organization for a six-month or year-long contract-most common in technical fields
• Practicum/Clinical Experience: supervised practical application directly associated
with an academic program
• Academic or Laboratory Research: experience working on a research project
within your academic discipline
• Job Shadowing: following a professional in a career field of interest
• Externship: often offered by educational institutions (i.e. academic hospitals) to give
students short, practical experiences in their field of study
• Informational Interviews: an interview with a professional in a career field of interest
with the goal of gathering information on the field
• Volunteer Work: opportunities vary as related to your career field
• Part-time and Summer Jobs: can be related to your career field
Where/how can I find an internship or related experience?
An internship search is just as challenging as finding a full-time job, however Career
Services has resources to help you at each step of the process. Internship search
recommendations include:
1. Brainstorm possible internship options and research organizations of interest. If your
academic program has an internship advisor or website, that's a great place to start!
2. Meet with a career development specialist in Career Services* to:
a. Discuss your internship ideas
b. Discuss resources to help you with your search
c. Develop an Internship Action Plan
d. Create a resume
3. Make sure to utilize internship search resources on Handshake, as well as information sessions, on-campus
recruiting, career fairs, and company/organization websites.
*Please note that junior and senior business students will meet with the
undergraduate internship coordinator in the Career Resource Center. For more
information, go here.
Are internships only for business students?
No. Internships are available for non-business majors in a variety of industries and
companies, as well as nonprofit organizations.
Can I get academic credit for my internship?
Meet with the internship advisor or coordinator for your school, program, or department to
find out if you can receive academic credit. Each program will have its own requirements.
Will I get paid in my internship?
Often, students in business, engineering and communication can participate in paid
experiences but all employers look highly upon candidates who have had an internship or
work experience during college, whether paid or unpaid.
Are unpaid internships in for-profit companies legal?
According to the Department of Labor: "There are some circumstances under which individuals who
participate in "for-profit" private sector internships or training programs may do so without
compensation. The determination of whether an internship or training program meets this
exclusion depends upon all of the facts and circumstances of each such program.
The following six criteria must be applied when making this determination:
1. The internship, even though it includes actual operation of the facilities of the
employer, is similar to training which would be given in an educational environment;
2. The internship experience is for the benefit of the intern;
3. The intern does not displace regular employees, but works under close supervision of
existing staff;
4. The employer that provides the training derives no immediate advantage from the
activities of the intern; and on occasion its operations may actually be impeded;
5. The intern is not necessarily entitled to a job at the conclusion of the internship; and
6. The employer and the intern understand that the intern is not entitled to wages for the
time spent in the internship."
What should I do if I have an issue with my internship or supervisor?
If you have issues, please contact Career Services or your internship coordinator as soon
as possible.
I can't find an internship that fits my needs - what can I do?
It won't be easy, but you might be able to create your own internship if there's not one
posted for your field. Consider what you want to do and where you want to do it. Then,
contact your ideal company/organization and make a proposal. Who knows? You might find
that an internship program already exists, or you might create something that is far more
fulfilling than landing a not-quite-right internship. A career development specialist can help
you with this process.
I just finished my internship. Now what?
Ready to do another one? Many students have found it helpful to meet with a career
development specialist to help reflect on internship accomplishments and highlight the
experience on a resume. Don't wait to make an appointment, use SLU Appointments or call
314-977-2828. Not sure who your career development specialist is? Find out here!

Dordt College News
Andreas Center Conference focuses on education
October 22, 2013
Does Christian education make a difference in the cultural and civic lives of its students? In an attempt to spur discussion of this important issue, the Andreas Center for Reformed Scholarship and Service along with the Christian Educator's Journal will host a conference on October 31 through November 2, on the campus of Dordt College.
The conference, titled "Rooted in, Responsive to, Reaching out," will consider the task and impact of Christian education from a variety of angles and perspectives. It is open to parents and educators in traditional Christian day schools, homeschool organizations, online educational organizations, and organizations supporting Christians teaching in public schools.
The public is welcome to attend the Thursday and Friday night plenary addresses without needing to register.
On Thursday, Ray Pennings will open the conference with "Heart, Soul, and Mind: Measuring the Fruits of Christian Education." Pennings is senior fellow and director of research at Cardus, an emerging think-tank that is trying to influence the way government, the market, and the individual shape our society. He has contributed to seven books and hundreds of journal articles.
Friday's morning speaker, Dr. Mary Kooy, will present "Opening the Black Box: Questions, Queries, and Conversations on Christian Education." Kooy is a professor in the Department of Curriculum, Teaching, and Learning at the Ontario Institute for Studies in Education of the University of Toronto. She teaches graduate courses in communities of learning, teacher induction, curriculum innovation in teacher education, and improving teaching through learning.
Friday afternoon, Finn Laursen will present "The Role of Christian Educators in Public Schools." Laursen is executive director of Christian Educators Association International, a professional association for Christian educators in both public and private schools. Prior to his appointment, Laursen was a public school educator in Ohio for 32 years, working as teacher, middle and high school counselor, assistant principal, and superintendent.
Finishing the day on Friday, Dan Beerens will present "Facing the Future Fearlessly: Focusing on Nurturing a Flourishing Faith."

He served as vice president of learning services and director of instructional improvement at Christian Schools International from 2006 to 2010.
The three-day conference will also feature breakout sessions on a variety of topics including "Financial Literacy and 21st Century Disciples," "The Task and Impact of Christian Education in Creating an Inclusive Worldview," and "Responding to the Needs of Today's Christian Educators: Building Capacity for Technology Integration."

BSC Nursing Students Discover "E-FISH-IENT" Way to Provide Pet Therapy for Residents at the Maples (w/photo)
CreatedWednesday, April 08 2009
Created byJim Nelson/Media Relations - (304) 327-4103 firstname.lastname@example.com
Bluefield State College Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BSN) students senior Erica Bailey (left) and Billy Clay recently presented a 55-gallon aquarium to The Maples. The BSC students developed the aquarium as an innovative approach to "pet therapy" for residents at The Maples. Community "change projects" of this type are designed to improve a targeted population's quality of life and are a part of the BSN program's senior practicum course.
(Bluefield)—Residents at The Maples in Bluefield have a new "big screen" entertainment system--a 55-gallon aquarium—courtesy of two energetic and innovative students in Bluefield State College's Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BSN) program. To fulfill a course requirement, senior BSN students Erica Bailey and Billy Clay conducted a needs assessment for a "change project" that could improve the quality of life at The Maples, then decided upon the aquarium as a unique type of "pet therapy."
"We conducted quite a bit of research into pet therapy programs," Clay, an Oceana High School graduate, said. "Pet therapy helps increase residents' receptivity to socializing, and it combats feelings of loneliness and depression."
"The aquarium gives residents a colorful, uplifting point of focus," added Bailey, a graduate of Iaeger High School. "It can help decrease their blood pressure, relieve stress, and it's a low risk, low maintenance resource."
The BSC students are part of a senior BSN cohort involved in community projects, as a requirement in the program's senior practicum course, according to program director Beth Pritchett. "Students are involved in a variety of projects, all of which are designed to improve a targeted population's quality of life," she noted. "They conduct an assessment of need, then implement change to address that need. The process requires students to utilize all of the knowledge and skills they've acquired throughout their BSN program experience."
Bailey and Clay, who purchased the aquarium, expressed appreciation to Personal Touch Fish Store, the Healing Hands Club at BSC, local attorney Mark Wills, and anonymous donors for their support of the project.
Residents at The Maples attended a brief "unveiling ceremony" recently, when they saw the aquarium for the first time. It is located adjacent to the central dining area, in a portion of the facility that's frequented by residents and guests throughout the day.
The aquarium has generated quite a bit of positive response, according to Drema Keaton, The Maples' activities director. "The residents love it," she said. "Some have already given names to the goldfish. It's a positive, fun activity and it gives them a feeling of 'being connected.'"

If you're at a Baton Rouge, Louisiana, area pool, don't be surprised if you bump into a "mermaid." Vanessa Lewis is turning heads as she splashes into pools across Louisiana's Capitol City.
It's just like any other pool on a hot summer day filled with kids, playing and splashing around. But wait, it might not be just the kids trying to beat the heat.
"I have made such a splash, so to speak," said Lewis, who is splashing around town with her new, custom-made mermaid tail. "The tail is quite heavy and I was worried I was going to drown when I first put it on."
The tail, which set her back nearly $500, is catching everyone's attention.
"I am pretty excited about it, and my kids think it's really cool as well," noted Lewis.
Although her son Layden says he doesn't like mermaids, his mom's new hobby has its perks.
"I like it because she gets to take me to water parks," said Layden.
But really, why dress as a mermaid?
"I've always been enchanted with mermaids ever since I was a little girl, just the beauty, the myth, the folklore surrounding mermaids," said Lewis.
But a lot of little girls like mermaids. So the question remains, why is this mother of two, a wife and Louisiana State University professor, dressing up like a mythical creature?
"Because she likes mermaids," said Layden.
"I wondered what it feels like to swim in a mermaid tail, so I found a guy online a few years ago who crafts these custom mermaid tails for fashion magazines," Lewis said.
And eventually, Lewis says she wants to use her hobby to not only bring smiles to little ones' faces, but to give back in a special way.
"I thought one thing that would be a unique outlet was if I could promote Louisiana conservation, coastal preservation, Louisiana waterways and sportsman paradise," Lewis said.
The inside of the tail is made of the same fabric used in a wet suit.
Lewis is making free appearances around Baton Rogue for now, but she's considering charging people for her appearances in the future.

I don't recall that we have ever turned our attention to names which are pronounced in a strange fashion, or not as one would expect them to be from how they are written. (Of course, I could be wrong and we have been into this, given that I disappear from time to time and miss a good bit, especially since posts multiply faster than rabbits when you're not watching them, and I tend to whiffle thru them pretty fast when I have to catch up).
I suppose we have all heard of Cholmondely, pronounced Chumly; and Beauchamp, pronounced Beecham; and Grosvenor (Grove-ner). Surely we all have some to contribute. Here in Crabtown, we have two street names which always throw the furriners. Aliceanna Street is pronounced by the natives as Alice Ann (Street). Bentalou St. is Bent-low.
How about y'all? What gems lurk out there?

This is embarrassing, but my own name has always confounded me a bit. (!) My parents spelled it Jacqulyn--no e after the u, like 99% of the other Jacque-lyns, -lines have. They pronounced it Jac-kwuh-lin, but it has always looked to me as though it ought to be Jackalyn.

One local favorite is Skaneateles. It got its fifteen minutes when the Clintons took a presidential vacation there. The NPR reporter, interviewing the mayor, asked how it was pronounced. The mayor responded with a carefully enunciated Skayn ee atlas and then, in normal speech later on, pronounced it the way it is really pronounced, Skinny Atlas.

There's a town in New Jersey next to Plainfield where I grew up (Union County, Central Jersey) that has become legendary for mispronunciation, I've even seen jokes about it at the national level. Piscataway. It's an old Amerindian (Delaware) name...(pis-CAT-away). So why's that so difficult? I always loved saying it, has a nice rhythm and flow, simply mellifluous IMO. Then, of course, there were the intentional miscues like "piss-the-cat-away", and other variations.

I think this is technically a YART but I think things beyond a certain age shouldn't count as YARTs - no one can remember them and besides, there are usually enough new people who haven't discussed the subject!
My Newfoundland favourites are:
Baie D'Espoir: pronounced "Bay despair" (opposite of the true meaning, which is "Bay of Hope")
Pouch Cove: pronounced "Pooch Cove", like a small dog!
Quidi Vidi: we say "kiddie viddie" which is the usual pronunciation, although you do hear "Kw-eye-duh Veye-duh" from some folks
Argentia: it's "Ar-JEN-cha" and foreigners often try to pronounce the last syllable "tee-uh" instead.
LeMarchant Road: Newcomers often try to pronounce this with a French accent - pointless! Throw your French accents out the window when reading Newfoundland names! It's Luh-MAR-chent.
Others which people try to Frenchify (an easy mistake to make from the spellings) are Port-Aux-Basques and Baie Verte.

Some Detroit-area street names that often throw non-natives:
Gratiot - pronounced GRA-shit, not GRA-ti-ot
Livernois - LI-ver-noy, not LI-ver-noiz
Goethe - GO-thi (sorry, German-speakers)
Schoenerr - SHAY-ner
And of course di-TROYT, not DEE-troyt or day-TWAH
I'm sure there are others, but they don't come to mind right now.

I know this was on the Boston thread a while back but when we asked for directions of foreign student he had no idea where Massetchusets Avenue was but he did know Mass-av Street.
I shouldn't laugh, I grew up thinking that there were two similar girls names: Penelopy and Penelope (to rhyme with cantalope)

Nancy, your post reminded me of Legare Street in Charleston (SC), pronounced Legree (as in Simon).

It's getting so hard to watch I actually watched the Blackhawks last night! Like I stated before, the problem with small ball is the other team has to play smaller!
I understand the pain, Art. But don't look now, Jake Peavy just put together his second dominant outing in a row.

GOP hopeful is finding tribal tie cuts both ways
BARTLESVILLE, Okla. T.W. Shannon will be Oklahomas first black senator if he wins the Republican nomination and is elected in November, but the quiet campaign stirring here about Shannons racial loyalties is not aimed at the African-American branch of his family tree.
Shannon, whose first name is Tahrohon, is a member of the Chickasaw Nation, the most influential tribe in a state where Native Americans are not merely the inheritors of a poignant history but also the states largest nongovernment employer outside of Wal-Mart.
Most of those jobs are connected to Oklahomas 110-and-counting casinos, which are becoming as familiar here as oil derricks. Yet the gambling revenue that has showered millions on some of the states Native Americans has also bred resentment over the tribes expanding footprint. Now, as Shannon vies to make history, he has become both the political beneficiary of the tribes newfound wealth and a target for complaints about Native American sovereignty and possible competing loyalties.
Beyond Oklahoma, Shannon, a 36-year-old former state House speaker, has the potential to become a sensation in a party desperate to shed its old-and-white image. Some prominent conservatives have embraced his candidacy.
While identity politics about race, religion or gender has been a defining element of both parties for generations, Shannon adds a rare dimension. And he says he is uneasy about being the latest emblem of Republican diversity.
Shannon, whose father is Chickasaw and mother is black, would be only the second enrolled tribal member to join the Senate in nearly 100 years; Ben Nighthorse Campbell of Colorado was first, in 1993. Shannon has received tens of thousands of dollars directly from Chickasaws and other tribes. And an independent group, Oklahomans for a Conservative Future, has spent more than $435,000 on his behalf since March. The group has received contributions from Indians, according to Republicans familiar with the donors who were not authorized to speak for the group.
As he has emerged as a formidable candidate to win the seat held by Sen. Tom Coburn, a Republican who is retiring, Shannon also has prompted a revival of old grudges about citizenship and identity.
Btw, the Indians arent Oklahomans, Robert Dan Robbins, a rancher and prominent supporter of Shannons chief primary opponent, Rep. James Lankford, wrote on his own Facebook page. They are a member of their own nation and are suing the state of Oklahoma over water rights and other things as well.
A Tea Party group, in an open letter about Shannon, warned, He has too many masters to serve, and listed Indian tribes and Rep. Tom Cole, a fellow Chickasaw and establishment-oriented Oklahoma Republican, among his suspect influences.
Unlike many states with significant Indian populations, Oklahoma before statehood was made up of Indian territories, and members of its tribes are culturally integrated and do not live on reservations.
Still, tensions that stem from the tribes unique status are evident. When someone says that Indians arent real Oklahomans I guess they forgot that Oklahoma is Choctaw for red people, said Cole, neutral in the race but a mentor to Shannon, who was once his driver. Look, Indians have been here long before anybody else, and most of them didnt exactly come here by choice.
Shannon is more cautious when discussing his background. In an interview after an early-morning Rotary Club visit in this small, northeastern Oklahoma town, best known as the ancestral home of Phillips 66, he emphasized that he was very proud of his heritage, while carefully noting that it does not define him entirely.
Im an American first, and thats the most important thing, said Shannon, who was first elected to the state House of Representatives in 2006.
Such efforts at reassurance along with ads like the one promoting legislation he sponsored requiring that welfare recipients work may be necessary in a state that bears such history as the Trail of Tears. But Oklahoma, at the geographic and cultural intersection of the Great Plains, the South and the West, is the same state that once elected African-American, Native American, Jewish, Catholic and Mormon candidates to high office in the same year, two decades ago.
The African-American elected in 1994 was J.C. Watts, a former University of Oklahoma quarterback who became the Republican Partys highest-profile black official as a member of Congress. Shannon recalled advice from Watts, who told him, If you make it your issue, if you make it the focus of your campaign, then it will be. His racial background, Shannon said, is just one part of my experience its not the defining moment.
So Shannon is not just seeking to put the states deeply conservative Republican primary electorate at ease and pre-empt a nascent whispering campaign. He also wants to be something more than a handy symbol at a moment when his partys crippling lack of success among nonwhites and the presence of the first black president have made race central to the countrys politics.
But that may not be easy.
His name alone! Sarah Palin exclaimed at a large, nearly all-white rally of supporters for Shannon in Tulsa last month. The Democrats accuse us of not embracing diversity? Oh, my goodness, he is hes it. He is the whole package.
But other conservatives are plainly uncomfortable with such tactics. Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, who was also at the rally, said in an interview, Rather than engage in identity politics and smear campaigns, which is the specialty, sadly, of the modern Democratic Party, we ought to be discussing how to turn this country around.
Yet the statement that Shannons election would make is very much on the minds of Oklahoma Republicans, some of whom think he could pierce stereotypes about their state and party.
We need people that can relate to the average American, and the average American is not the average American from 1955, said state Sen. David Holt, a Republican. Youve got to project a face from your party that reflects America, and America is changing.
There is also something compelling about the prospect of elevating a native son who made his name here, and not beyond Oklahomas borders, as did a long list of exports including Mickey Mantle, Jim Thorpe, Ralph Ellison and Woody Guthrie.
Lankford, the most formidable other Republican in the race, recognizes Shannons symbolic appeal and is already moving to frame the question in his own terms. What are Oklahomans looking for? Lankford said in an interview. Are they looking to have a celebrity, or are they looking for somebody to be able to solve their problems?
But, chatting in a Tulsa coffee shop just up the road from a Creek Nation casino, Lankford acknowledged that the financial backing Shannon had received from the tribes had given his opponent a boost.
Theyve been pretty clear that they want to have a tribal member in the Senate, said Lankford, a member of the House leadership who led a large Baptist summer camp in his heavily Baptist state before going to Washington in 2010.
Former Gov. Frank Keating, a Republican, said: Youll have the Baptists embracing Lankford and the tribes embracing Shannon. Thats quite a tug of war between two redwoods.
Oklahomans for a Conservative Future, the group advertising on Shannons behalf, is structured under a section of the tax code that does not require disclosure of its donors. An official with the group would not discuss the identities of its donors, but people familiar with the contributions acknowledged that it had received tribal money.
It is one of the first measures of Native Americans gaining political strength, a role likely to endure whether or not Shannon wins.
Most people didnt worry about the Indians in part because they were everywhere, they sort of looked like everybody else, they sort of lived like everybody else, said Keith Gaddie, a University of Oklahoma political science professor. Nobody cared about Native Americans until they got money.MORE IN Wire NewsWASHINGTON Did anyone see it coming, the apparent new rapport between President Barack Obama... Full StoryMANCHESTER, N.H.

Okay ladies..I need some help. My LO is starting to change her nursing pattern. She nurses well during the night (3-4 times) and not so well during the day(4 times). She is perfectly content and has great diapers and weight gain.
My problem is that I am worried about my left breast not getting as full. I was wondering, since my right breast is doing okay, and I can pump it if needed, should I try bfing on the left first for the next few feedings instead of switching back and forth each feeding? Usally she only eats from one side per feeding.
I am just worried I may loose my milk in my left breast. Any suggestions?!?!

Everthing ok, good organization, fair price.
We were pleasantly surprised by the quality of services rendus.Notre stay of 4 days was without incident. The accommodation was perfect, we had an electrical problem arriving the same evening (23 H) to jump the counter and after a call 1 H after someone came to fix it all. A taxi was waiting for us at the airport and leave for another taxi to take us back. Finally we were satisfied with Wimdu service I did not know.
Nous avons étaient agréablement surpris par la qualité des services rendus.Notre séjour de 4 jours a était sans encombre. Le logement était parfait, nous avons eu un problème d'électricité en arrivant le soir même (à 23 H ) le compteur à sauter et après un coup de fil 1 H après quelqu'un est venu nous arranger tout cela. Un taxi nous attendait à l'aéroport, et pour repartir un autre taxi nous ramener. Enfin nous avons étaient satisfait du service Wimdu que je ne connaissais pas.
The experience of renting the house was good. We handed the keys and told us all in his office. The new house, big and clean. It has several computers with internet access and wifi which for us was great. The movement to the center of Prague is fast because it has a station a 15 minute walk (you can even park your car there if you are interested). In just 15-20min you are in the center.
La experiencia de alquilar la casa fue buena. Nos entregaron las llaves y nos informaron de todo en su oficina. La casa nueva, grande y está limpia. Dispone de varios ordenadores con conexión a internet y wifi lo cual para nosotros fue genial. El desplazamiento al centro de Praga es rápido ya que dispone de una estación a 15 minutos caminando (incluso podéis aparcar el coche allí si os interesa). En apenas 15-20min estáis en el centro mismo.
We spent 5 days with friends in this apartment in the center of Prague. The pictures are exactly the pictures and the description. We visited the city still walk with a very fast access to the old town. The bedding is good, the apartment is clean and very quiet despite the location and the great bonus tub for two to relax in the evening. As is a host who speaks very good English and gives you a map of the city with the hint to find a super market and other useful items handy for not wasting time after the trip. I recommend this apartment and thinks rebook on our next visit to Prague.
Nous avons passé 5 jours en amoureux dans cet appartement en plein centre de Prague. Les photos correspondent exactement aux photos et à la description donnée. Nous avons visité la ville toujours à pied avec un accès très rapide à la vieille ville.
La literie est bonne, l'appartement est propre et très calme malgré la localisation et en bonus la grande baignoire pour deux pour se détendre en fin de journée.
Le plus est un hôte qui parle un très bon anglais et qui vous donne un plan de la ville avec les indication pour trouver un super marché et autres points utiles très pratique pour ne pas perdre de temps après le voyage.
Je vous recommande cet appartement et pense le relouer lors de notre prochaine visite à Prague.
A very nice appartment in a central place. Very hot inside and a lot of noise from the street. A very good servie at the office.
The accommodation was pretty good! The size of the apartment was perfect. The bed was comfortable. It was all there. a TV, a sufficiently large table and the bathroom and kitchen were also perfect :) We were very pleased and we felt very comfortable in the apartment! Price / performance ratio and best accommodation we recommend further!
Die Unterkunft war ziemlich gut! Die Größe des Apartments war perfekt. Das Bett war bequem. Es war alles da. ein Tv, ein ausreichend großer Tisch und das Bad und die Küche waren ebenfalls ideal :)
wir waren sehr zufrieden und haben uns in der Wohnung sehr wohl gefühlt!
Preis/ Leistungsverhältnis top und wir empfehlen die Unterkunft weiter!
Our trip was very positive.
Your assistance was very good.
The flat was very clean. Also was localizeted 20-30 minutes of walking from Old Town.
It was in a good zone very quiet...It was been a wonderful holiday!
Thank you Ilya/Anna.
Beautiful accommodation and friendly welcome!
Schöne Unterkunft und nette Begrüßung !
Lovely apartment, which is ideal for a break in Prague. All the facilities were clean and well maintained, and Ilya couldn't have been more helpful.
Prague is a lovely city, and the apartment enhanced our stay. Someone had even thoughtfully filled the ice cube tray in the freezer, so on arrival we could have ice cold drinks!
Definitely make sure you remember to arrange picking up the keys with the office in advance, as it's not directly near the apartment (although isn't at all far on the tram).
I can also recommend visiting the TV tower, which is a short walk away from the apartment, for some brilliant night time sky line views.
Everything was great, apt is very comfortable and its clean. I just missed some hangers to keep my towels in bathroom.
It would be also great to install air conditioning in I the apt, because if it's very hot like the time we were there you still can't keep windows open through the night because of trams passing by. The noise was so big that our baby and we could't sleep.

Fantasy Guru Daily: 2/16/11
Unless a CBA agreement is miraculously reached in the next two weeks, league news is going to come to a pretty sudden halt. But for now, we have some coaching hires, some franchise tags, and other miscellany to talk about.
Colts franchise Peyton… Although contract talks remain fluid between Peyton Manning and the Colts, Indy is going to make sure that the greatest player in team history won't test the free-agent market. The Colts placed the franchise tag on Manning, meaning he will earn about $23 million in 2011 should the two sides not agree on a contract extension before the season begins. Manning's salary is 120% of his $19.3 million salary in 2010; by rule, the franchise tag gives a player a one-year deal equivalent to the average salary of the five highest-paid players at the position or 120% of that player's previous salary, whichever figure is higher. If you're asking for a hunch, the Colts will get a deal with Manning worked out before the season.
Ngata gets tagged… Also on the franchise front, the Ravens opted to tag DT Haloti Ngata, which will pay him about $12.5 million in 2011. But honestly, we'd be surprised if it got to [...]

It's hard not to be prejudiced against 'Austenland'
Jane Austen would spin in her nearly 200-year-old grave at the crude and broad movie made in her name.
Knowing it already has the attention of the hardcore fans of her books such as "Persuasion," "Pride and Prejudice," and "Sense and Sensibility," "Austenland" sets its sights on the mass audience — and fails both groups. »Read Full Article
The Head and the Heart scores at sold-out Riverside Theater
The Head and the Heart's Saturday concert at the Riverside Theater has been sold out for weeks. But there was some question whether the audience would put much heart into the concert — since the Badgers' Final Four game against the Wildcats was happening at the same time.
But the show went on. And while concertgoers regularly checked the score on their phones, and several seats in balcony went unclaimed due to no-shows, the folk revival sextet for the most part kept its head in the game (the concert, that is), so the fans could keep their heads out of that other game. »Read Full Article(1)
Picks for Sunday's Academy of Country Music Awards
Tomorrow marks the first of the year's big country music award shows when the Academy of Country Music hands out its slate of honors at 7 on CBS. While the Las Vegas-based spectacle has lost a bit of luster against the Nashville-based Country Music Association Awards, it is still a big night that will find many of the genre's big stars all gussied up for the cameras. Blake Shelton and Luke Bryan proved a popular host pairing and they return with what is sure to be another year of shenanigans from the two big stars.
More than the awards handed out, the show will be a showcase of performances by a big-name lineup that includes Jason Aldean, Dierks bentley, Sheryl Crow, Lee Brice, Eric Church, Hunter Hayes, Miranda Lambert, Toby Keith, Tim McGraw, Rascal Flatts, Lady Antebellum with Stevie Nicks, Florida Georgia Line and more. »Read Full Blog Post
MSO brings clarity, conviction to Beethoven's Symphony No. 7
There's a reason some pieces of music make their way into what is known as the "standard orchestral repertoire." It's a simple matter of people wanting to hear them again and again.
The Milwaukee Symphony Orchestra brought one of those pieces that audiences crave, Beethoven's Symphony No. 7, to the Pabst Theater on Friday evening, in a performance that felt a lot like one was getting caught up with a dear, old friend. »Read Full Article
Next Act takes plunge with 'Three Views of the Same Object'
In this budget-conscious era of too many contrived plays involving too few actors who must each play multiple characters, playwright Henry Murray bravely takes a different tack with "Three Views of the Same Object": profligately requiring a producing theater to hire multiple actors to play a single character.
Kudos to Next Act Theatre Artistic Director David Cecsarini for taking the plunge, hiring an outstanding veteran cast of six actors and treating Milwaukee to a must-see production of this haunting, beautifully written play, which asks some very hard questions we'd all rather ignore about how we choose to die — and what those choices say about how we've chosen to live. »Read Full Article
Where to watch the Badgers tonight
If you're not cheering on the Badgers in the Final Four from a seat in AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas, the next best thing may be cheering them on with hordes of other fans at a local watering hole.
Milwaukee has no shortage of bars and restaurants to watch the game at, and some are offering specials during the game. Tip-off is scheduled for 7:49 p.m. on TBS, but you'll want to arrive earlier than that to nab a seat. »Read Full Blog Post(3)

With issues like illegal immigration and official languages causing controversy in the United States it is a little refreshing in an odd sort of way to see the same problem elsewhere. In a purely symbolic move the Italian parliament has made Italian the official language of Italy. However, opposition from both sides of the political spectrum has broken out.
The Communists on the left have decried the vote saying it is cultural imperialism. They see it as a repeat of the efforts by Benito Mussolini to Italianize the country. This opinion is shared by some rightist regionalists and separatists.
While many people think of Italy as having one nation and culture, that opinion is wrong. In the north there is South Tyrol was long part of the Austria-Hungarian Empire and has German as an official language. If one visits the Verona-area they will notice many of the local newspapers are in German. The Aosta Valley has a large French speaking minority. The Po River Valley including Venice has its own dialect of Italian. The South has Sicily where many inhabitants speak Sicilian, which is its own unique language not derived from Italian. The same holds true for Sardinia where many people still speak Sardinian.
These languages serve to support unique cultures in different regions. Many members of these cultures still resent of what they see as Roman culture and political control rammed down their throats.
The measure passed by parliament does not forbid local languages and is only symbolic. Yet, language is a sensitive subject as it is the blood of culture.

Italian now the Official Language of Italy
3 comments:
- Adrian said...
Italy's first prime minister said "We have made Italy - now we must make Italians!" The word for policeman in parts of southern Italy is "Piedmontese" - i.e., one from Piedmont (the region which 'unified' Italy in the 19th century).
You say it is only symbolism. Symbolism MATTERS.
- Catholicgauze said...
Hi Anon,
By only symbolism I mean that regions will still be allowed to use their own dialects in official documents. There is no enforcement on the language law.

Freedom New Mexico: Argen Duncan Portales Police patrol officers Colby Morgan, front, and Byanca Vega direct traffic around a tree the wind blew into one lane of U.S. 70 near Stripes convenience store Monday morning. The National Weather Service reported peak wind speeds around 60 mph in the area.
By Argen Duncan: Freedom New Mexico
Winds peaking at speeds of around 60 mph caused damage around Portales on Monday morning, but slowed in the afternoon.
Brent Wachter, meteorologist at the National Weather Service office in Albuquerque, said winds at Cannon Air Force Base peaked at 59 mph, while the Clovis weather station registered a top speed of 63 mph. He had no reports from Roosevelt County.
Wachter said data indicated sustained wind speeds of 35-45 mph around the area from mid-morning until almost 3:30 p.m.
"We've had everything from damage to power poles to trees blowing over to part of one roof blowing off," said Portales Police Deputy Chief Lonnie Berry.
A barn in the 1400 block of North Avenue B lost part of its roof. Portales Fire Department Battalion Chief Lance Hill said the roof broke a electrical line, which arched but didn't cause a fire. When power poles or lines break, firefighters stand by on the scene until the electrical company arrives.
Xcel Energy spokesman Wes Reeves said around a dozen customers lost power in several incidents around midday, but the bulk of the outages were 90 minutes or less.
Berry said trees blew down on Abilene Street and U.S. 70, and another utility line was damaged on Second Street at Avenue F.
"We'll be responding probably as long was this wind is blowing," he said around midday.
Roosevelt County Sheriff Darren Hooker said his deputies handled a damaged power line on N.M. 467, and extreme amounts of dirt blew across the road at N.M. 206 and Roosevelt Road 15, making for dangerous driving.
Hooker and Berry said the wind lessened in the afternoon, and they had received no more wind-related calls as of about 5 p.m.
For days with high winds, Hooker said motorists whose vision is impaired by blowing dust should slow down, turn on their headlights and flashers and be careful.
"If at all possible, try to find an alternate route," he said.
Berry advised staying away from downed power lines, and Hill said people should be cautious with controlled burns. They should notify the police or fire department before starting the fires and refrain from having controlled burns in high winds such as Monday's, he said.

Chrysler 200 Post Launch
The Chrysler 200 was one of several recently-launched models designed to highlight the rebirth of Chrysler. Its advertisements featured Detroit musician Eminem, and have won several awards. In October 2010, we set some general measures one might use to gauge the 200's early success based on the then-current results for Sebring (200's predecessor) vs. key rivals Accord, Sonata, Camry, and Fusion. Now nearly a year later, we're checking back in.

Experian provides the identity verification component of the Health Insurance Marketplace enrollment process.
Experian Verification Services is a group of telephone agents dedicated to supporting the identity verification function of the Health Insurance Marketplace.
In order to contact Experian Verification Services, you must first go through the online application process for your appropriate (state or federal) Health Insurance Marketplace and attempt to verify your identity (which may include a series of questions that only you should be able to answer). If you are unable to pass the identity verification step online, you will be given a reference code and a dedicated telephone number. Have the reference code handy when you call, as our agents are unable to assist you without it.
If the agent cannot locate your reference code, or if you are told your code is invalid, first of all double-check the numbers and letters in the code:
If you are still unsuccessful, you may wish to attempt online identity verification again, bearing in mind these tips:
If you are still unable to pass identity verification, you will receive another reference code. You can choose to call Experian Verification Services again with your new code, or you can get help from a federal Health Insurance Marketplace representative by calling 1 800 318 2596. Tell the representative that you cannot get through identity verification and that you need to go through a manual process. If you are accessing services via a state Health Insurance Exchange, please refer back to the state website for further information. You can also visit localhelp.healthcare.gov if you need more help.
If you are an individual who has a comment or complaint, please write to:

Next up, a great actor's weakest try ...
No. 2: Jeff Goldblum - "Independence Day"
No one's ever going to accuse Roland Emmerich of being an artistic, sensitive or poetic filmmaker. The man behind "2012" and "The Day After Tomorrow" would clearly rather rip up the planet and kill millions than spend time on such pesky things as character development.
Most actors in his movies find themselves reduced to cookie-cutter characters or, worse, comic-book figures (Woody Harrelson in "2012").
Jeff Goldblum, a smart guy who's done some great work, meets the cookie-cutter fate in "Independence Day," playing the sort of science geek who you know from the moment he appears in the film is going to save the day. His every line is predictable, his every grimace forced and his characteristic wry humor muffled.
At times, he almost seems embarrassed to be in the film, which he should be, just like our final entry ...
No. 1: John Wayne - "The Conqueror"
There may have never been a more identifiable actor in Hollywood history than John Wayne.
In any western or military flick, you could count on The Duke to provide the sort of standup guy whose moral fiber is exceeded only by his ability to put the hurt on bad guys.
He had the kind of talent that Hollywood wanted to use everywhere, and this attitude gave use Wayne as Genghis Khan in 1956's "The Conqueror." With an accent that was Wayne's usual drawl mashed up with what sounds like three or four "How to Sound Asian" dialect coach lessons and a makeup job that borders on self-parody, Wayne struts and fumbles through the production.
In today's more politically correct filmmaking environment, this is the sort of casting that will never happen again ... and that's a good thing.

I bubble this thread up today because I opened Daniel Pinchbeck's 2012: The Return of Quetzalcoatl last night and discovered this line: "For a few years, I flourished in the hectic hothouse and pinchbeck glitter of the "roaring eighties."
ol' Daniel must have really gloried in that usage.

There have been many incarnations of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's Sherlock Holmes character over the years, so it shouldn't be a surprise two television shows about the Baker Street sleuth are currently on the airwaves. There's the incredible BBC series "Sherlock" starring Benedict Cumberbatch, which has two seasons in the books — the second having just become available on Netflix streaming — and the new venture from CBS starring Jonny Lee Miller.
Why CBS decided to create its own version of Holmes could have something to do with the critical acclaim and popularity of the BBC series, but that doesn't really matter. There's room for both shows, and even if "Elementary" is nowhere near as good as "Sherlock," it's not half bad and is clearly directed at a different audience.
The main difference between "Elementary" and "Sherlock" conceptually is Lucy Liu playing the Watson role. As Joan Watson, she's been hired by Sherlock's father to babysit him after his recent release from rehab. (CBS has decided to remove Holmes' addiction to tobacco from the novels in lieu of some nondescript narcotics.) Watson is charged with making sure Holmes doesn't relapse, but she eventually finds duty and excitement in his investigations while forming a (nonsexual, for now) bond with the manic detective.
Miller does quite well with his interpretation of Sherlock, and I like Liu as Watson, but I can't help but compare both the performances and the stylistic choices of "Elementary" to "Sherlock." I don't think Miller is full-on aping Cumberbatch's performance, but you can see similarities. It's more likely both actors chose similar interpretations of the character, but Cumberbatch still outclasses the good work done by Miller. Liu is also solid, but can't hold a candle to Martin Freeman's Watson on "Sherlock." It's apparent CBS wants to have a will-they-won't-they aspect to the Holmes Watson relationship — 'shippers rejoice. "Elementary" also feels like "Sherlock" Lite with its similar narrative format and general style.
If you've seen "Sherlock" it's hard not to compare "Elementary" to it, but I can't wholly condemn the CBS version. It's entertaining and well-acted, and if you've never seen "Sherlock" this will feel like a strong modernization of Holmes. (I suspect CBS has a massive hit on their hands with "Elementary.") I recommend "Elementary" for anyone who enjoys Sherlock Holmes, crime procedurals or Jonny Lee Miller — he was awesome as Sick Boy in "Trainspotting." But if you've seen the far superior "Sherlock" you may be disappointed.

Portrait of a Woman (Marguerite Dufay?), 1891
Louis AnquetinFrench, 1861-1932
Pastel on paper
24-3/4 x 20 in. (63 x 51 cm)
Norton Simon Art Foundation
© Norton Simon Art Foundation
Not on view
During the final decade of the nineteenth century, caricature piqued the interest of Louis Anquetin and he began to explore the expressive possibilities inherent to this popular form of image making. This portrait is a superb example of Anquetin's new pursuits; in it the artist has amplified the sitter's breasts and shrunk her waist beyond any measure of realistic anatomical proportion. The result is a bawdy sexuality, an exaggeration often associated with the woman thought to be the sitter, the cabaret performer and trombone player Marguerite Dufay. Indeed, she bears a striking resemblance to Dufay, who was depicted by Anquetin for a poster a few years after this portrait was completed.

text: My son is 16 months old and we have really started weaning over the past couple weeks. I stopped pumping at work and sening milk to daycare with him. My husband has been putting him to sleep at night so that cut out another session...He still nurses in th emiddle of the night and when ever he asks when he is awake, such as after we get home from daycare... Anyway it is really starting to feel like soon our nurisng relationship will be over and I can't help but be sad. I also just got my period back for the first time so apparently my body has gotten the weaning message as well... Just wanted to vent to people who understand. My husband just stares at me when I mention that I am sad about this.

This doesn't sound like any of the same-sex preferring men I've known. Fanatical full-body hair removal goes way beyond regular manscaping. Oiling down the body several times a day is also a bit extreme.
I googled Christianity R. and he does remove all of his body hair.ReplyCancel
It would do a lot to counteract the homophobia in football if Ronaldo were to come out (even as bisexual). He's one of the most popular and respected players in the game. Not that he's under any social obligation but these guys are role models for a lot of kids.ReplyCancel
Whatevs. RONALDO can do no wrong as far as I am concerned….
This explains why he looks so uncomfortable around his mate's penis. (GIF above is a MUST!)
The joke is on me I thought it was the Expendables guy Jason who I thought hooked up with Lutz but maybe it is Ronaldo because he is so pretty and I never saw hair on him when I'd see Real Madrid in L.A. I just met one of his hot friends Eduardo Verástegui please let him not be gay/bi. The guy is FINE! Anyway I heard Ronaldo hooked up with Paris Hilton a long time ago which grosses me out. And it means he has cooties probably….ReplyCancel

Hawaii County Police Department officials say a man was found face down in Captain Cook Thursday night with severe head trauma and no signs of life.
The man was identified as 23-year-old Shyden D. Bento of Captain Cook.
Responding to a 9:07 p.m. call, Kona patrol officers determined that the victim was operating a 2001 Honda moped and traveling north on Painted Church Road when he ran off the right side of the road and struck a rock wall.
The moped was found about 30 feet north of the man's body. The victim was not wearing a helmet.
The victim was taken to Kona Community Hospital, where he was pronounced dead at 11:25 p.m.
It is unknown at this time if speed, alcohol or drugs were involved.
