1. Leaking air.
2. Gun not firing
3. Parts missing
4. Mods - Trigger sticking? look here
1. Leaking Air/puffing noises
If the vibe is leaking somewhere in the gun locate the source of the leak by ear. First make sure the bolt, ASA, and reg are screwed in correctly. Then if the leak persists, easier detection can be had by taking off the grip frame.
If the leak is coming from the reg:
-your pressure may be set too low, and you may need to increase the velocity (Do NOT do this if you know your gun was set at a high enough pressure before the leak, you may blow a soloniod) Start with the reg at the lowest setting and increase slowly.
-the oring from the asa is damaged, replace it
-CO2 is being vented from your gun in the topmost reg vent. Use hpa or a remote line to prevent liquid co2 from entering
-The internals of the reg need servicing or replacement (ive had a loud trumpet noise come out of mine before and the reg seat needed to be replaced as it was sheared). This can be easily fixed. If the air is coming from the topmost of the 3 vents on the side of the reg nearest to the marker body, replace the 006 size o-ring in the overpressure vent valve. If its coming from the middle hole, it can be the piston o-ring, the lower 006 size piston o-rng or the reg seat. 10 cent fxes. If its not coming from the vents, and from the swivel, replace the swivel o-rings.
If the leak is coming from the bolt (out the breach)
-degass and reset the bolt to the rear position. sometimes initial pressurization does not set the bolt back and air leaks
-make sure the board is set to the right dwell setting (co2 vs hpa)
-If you have another bolt replace it to see if the bolt is the actual problem. If it is, you may need to replace some orings. check for damage, lube, and/or replace. The active orings that move and are subject to more wear are the inside of the bolt stop the two in the front and the small one in the rear.
-Before you replace o-rings make SURE thee reg pressure and tank pressure is reading right. 800+psi for tank, 120-180psi for reg. Get a pressure tester if possible. Also see where the air is leaking from on the bolt. Is it leaking from the bolt faace or around the bolt? Use your finger to plug the bolt face and feel. If its coming from inside, the bolt sail o-ring or the inner bolt stop o-rng is to blame. If its coming from the outside, the rear breech o-ring is to blame.
-if the bolt is stuck forward and leaking it may be the bolt sail o-ring, the rear internal breech o-ring or ay be a problem with the banjos/forward line. Check the line first leading from the noid to the front banjo.
If the leak is soming from around the board:
-Tighten up the banjo bolts! This is the prime cause of a leak! Banjo bolts get loose after a while.
-If air still comes out of the banjo bolts, it may be an oring is damaged inside the one thats leaking. Replace.
-If air is coming out of the hoses, replace the hose.
Leak from the asa: replace tank oring
For info on parts name and function see solenoid pic below. More solenoids are damaged by the user trying to repair it than mechanical faliure. DO NOT overtighten solenoid screws. Rely on the clips and tighten screws till snug, NOT tight.
*If the air comes out of the solonoid exaust port WHEN FIRING, AND the gun fails to fire correctly, do the following (air should be coming out of the exaust port durring firing, but it may not fire, or it may leak excessively with a low velocity, or puff out the barrel)
-replace the battery with a fresh ALKALINE 9v. Do NOT use carbon zinc 9v batteries (cheaper $$). They do not have enough current to run the solonoid.
- make sure the dwell setting is set to the correct air type (co2 vs hpa)
-Make sure your reg is not too low - DO NOT INCREASE pressure if you know it was set at the right level before the leak!!!! You may do more damage. If you have an inline pressure tester that would be ideal. Keep under 200psi, and above 100psi.
-Check the nub on the armature for dirt and damage. As well as the tiny o-ring on the inside of the soloniod.
- If using a deadlywinds hollowpoint bolt, it may be the bolt sail o-ring. Clean and lube, if it still doesnt work, replace the o-ring: Info by UV Halo
- the solenoid may need replacing
*If the air is coming from around the base of the solenoid, replace the o-ring there with a fresh 015/90.
*If the soleniod is leaking CONSTANTLY from the exaust port do the following:
-check the armature for damage. Flip over the armature, clean it if its dirty with a qtip (make sure no fibers are left), also clean the inside of the cap near the exaust port, center the coin in the top of the soloniod, then put the cap on it, again making sure the coin doesnt get off centered/unseated. Make sure no space is in between the cap and the bottom of the soloniod when screwing it back in. Air her up, and your good to go.
If it still leaks after that, you can try flipping the coin once more and making sure its centered. you will have to get a new coin for the noid (or new rubber things). If thats the case, i would try modding the current coin you have before you get a new one. Try putting some teflon tape on the nub that faces the top, or put a thin layer of hot glue or something as rubbery. Again, this is a last ditch effort in case you NEED to rreplace the coin/noid.
2. Gun is not firing
If the gun is not firing:
-Make sure you have a FRESH ALKALINE 9v. NO CARBON ZINC!!!!! ALKALINE ONLY!!!!
-Make sure the 9v wire is not pinched or damaged
-make sure no paint water, dirt or oil is on the board
-Make sure its turned ON
-make sure your dwell setting is on the right air source (hpa vs CO2)
-make sure your gun is lubed and clean
-check for leaks
-with no air in the gun, on full auto, check if the solonoid is operating (not the beeps, see if the solonoid "clicks")
- if it doesnt, unscrew the solonoid, undo the clips, and see the pins on the bottom. there may be an intermittent connection. , remove the two screws and clips. on the bottom you will see two pins and brass holes where they go in. Strip a wire, get a thin - less then hair thickness sliver of metal wire, NOT INSULATION. Put a peice of rasor thin wire (a fragment) in each hole to make sure there is a connection between the pins and the holes.
-solonoid or board may need to be replaced if above has been solved and the board does not turn on or function.
For blackheart users!
-If your eyes are malfunctioning, it will most likely be the recieving diode thats taken the shitter, OR the harness wire has been pinched and severly damaged. First make sure eyes are on on the board setting. If they dont work its the diode (detector, NOT EMITTER, unless you dont see light)
-for the diode, you can easily get one off a halo, or from an electronics store. They are standerd detector diodes. $1-2. Just solder in place. Alternitavely you can get a new harness altogether. Used on this site - $5-10. Can use ion ones!
- for the wire harness ion ones will work, not sure if others will work, but you may be able to repair the harness you have...
3. Parts List
Here is a list of all the o-rings you will need:
006 - banjo bolt (base of bolt contacting breech), Regulator: Relief valve oring (top)
008 - Regulator: Spring platform o-ring
010 - bolt tail o-ring (moving 010/70), Regulator: Relief valve (bottom)
014 - inside of the bolt stop (moving 014/70) Regulator: Spring platform o-ring (outer), Reg swivel (2x), Reg piston (moving -014/70)
015 - bolt bumper o-ring(static)/ regulator/tank
016 - bolt sail o-ring (moving - 016/70)
017 - Breach o-rings, maybe outside bolt stop and 2 back cap
018 - maybe outside bolt stop and 2 back cap o-rings
022 - rear of the back cap.
1x3mm - banjo bolts (head of the bolt)
1x4mm - reg? Possibly the O-ring on the adjuster on the reg, but theres no way of getting to it. Dont know where else this size goes.
I suggest you get a set of all of these o-rings. You may need more than one. For parts which are moving you will need a durometer of 70. All others are static o-rings and will need 90.
4. Mods
Trigger sticking:
Not really a mod, but just loosen the top handgrip screw a 1/4 turn and it should stop sticking. Either that, or clean your trigger from all the gunk over the years.
Hand tightened feedneck mod: Get a 10-32 screw(bolt) 1.2-1.5" long, a wingnut, a spacer, and the appropriate nut and put in that order onto the feedneck. Now it can be hand tightened without tools.

Local school budgets will do for now
The four school districts the Enterprise covers have produced 2013-14 budgets that are very different, but alike in some key ways, too: Hard work went into them as well as understanding of what the public wants and what schools need.
We think none of them deserves to be rejected, but voters will have to decide for themselves on May 21.
If a local board had passed a budget that was out of touch with its community, it might have earned a "no." These are not that way. We think local school board members know what's up this time around.
That doesn't mean they'll please everyone. Tupper Lake's tentative budget, for instance, would raise taxes more than 8 percent and dip deeply into reserves. School leaders know that risks upsetting their perfect record of getting budgets passed since, because it exceeds the tax cap, they'll need 60 percent approval instead of 50 percent. But given their grim alternatives, they worked the numbers down as far as they felt they could. They are asking the community to pay more toward its schools, which are essential.
Tupper Lake, which relies on the state for a majority of its school revenue, and many other upstate districts are being pulled into a whirlpool in which many fear they will drain their reserves and fall underwater in the next few years.
The main source of the suction is Albany. Gov. Andrew Cuomo is trying to starve out small school districts to encourage consolidation – he's said so – but people aren't yet ready to knuckle under and give up their hometown districts. Consolidation could be a good option, but so far there's no good, fair long-term plan out there.
Plus, Albany isn't doing its part. Schools' biggest annual cost increases are in things like employee pension payments, which the state requires. Local governments have to give their full-timers state benefits and have little control over their cost.
When the governor and state Legislature brought in the tax cap, they promised mandate relief. They failed miserably in that promise. We and many others said at the time that without mandate relief, the tax cap wouldn't work, and it doesn't. The same problems are happening in New York's cities and counties, too.
Some, like the Lake Placid and Keene school districts, have tax bases big enough to keep them going for now with minimal tax increases, percentage-wise. Local property taxes pay roughly 85 percent of their costs. But it isn't easy; it has required excellent management, listening and leadership. Keene Central School was fortunately able to rely on semi-retired superintendent Cynthia Ford Johnston again to manage its budget. Lake Placid's school board and administration threw everything they had at this year's budget and did fine work, going a long way toward regaining public trust after a rough couple of years.
In the middle is the Saranac Lake Central School District, which relies more on state aid but gets most of its revenue locally. Saranac Lake has been very wary of tax increases and has made harsh cuts every year lately, although not in administration – until this year, when it cut a principal's job. That was sad but probably reflects the will of the people – not that they want the cut but that they'd rather have it there than elsewhere.
It's great that the public has the power to vote on annual school budgets, but there's such a weak range of options, they can't send much of a message. There are all kinds of things one wants to tell one's elected and hired officials about budget priorities that one can't in these annual elections.
Oh, well. The choice comes down to this: Accept the proposed budget, or accept a contingency budget. Only in Tupper Lake would a contingency budget be substantially leaner, and there voters must face the question: How much would such a budget hurt education?

Ramen is one of my late night go to foods. So great to find some that are not filled with nasty oils and chemical flavours. Super tasty.
Don't bother

Don't bother
I can't even say it tastes bad just because it doesn't even taste like anything. It would need a flavor package 3x it's size. All the other flavors I've tried are the same. I just gave it 2 stars for being organic and vegan.
Not bad

Topic: Cached files not being 'seen' after changing page_cache_directory
My question is: how can i get rails to use cached files when they are being created in the 'public/cache' directory rather than in 'public'?
Following the directions in fngtips article entitled 'lazy sweeping' i changed the directory into which rails writes its cache files by adding the following line to my environment file.
config.action_controller.page_cache_directory = RAILS_ROOT+"/public/cache/"
Running my app (locally) i can see that rails is creating the cache files properly in public/cache, but it's not 'seeing' them. The next time the same url is accessed the log files show that the cache is being ignored, and getting re-generated.
If i remove the custom cache_directory instruction (so that cached files are dumped into the root of 'public') then rails uses the cached files as expected. But this is inconvenient for mass-deletion of cache files.
Does anyone know how to ensure that cached files stored in public/cache are used properly?

Olsen sweeps 4-Cylinder Modified races at Sands Speedway
SANDS – Ross Olsen Jr. of Sands was the lone driver to win both his heat and the feature during auto racing held at Sands Speedway Saturday.
Olsen swept both races in the Four-Cylinder Modified division and not surprisingly had the fastest modified time of the day, 17.332.
Ray Keskimaki of Marquette won the feature race in the Super Stock division after Stu Maki of Sands and Stan Wittler of Marquette won the earlier heats.
In the Late Model division, Jimmy Yelle of Gwinn, the alternate driver for Allan Yelle, took the feature race after Mike Mattson of Marquette won the heat.
And in Four-Cylinder Purestock, Doug Maki of Perkins won the feature after Collin Cavin of Marquette won the heat.
Other fastest times were posted by Darryl Britton of Marquette in Super Stock, 16.286; Jimmy Yelle in Late Model, 15.260; and Cavin in Purestock, 18.146.
Members of American Legion Post 349 of Little Lake served as color guard, including raising the American flag, at this event.
Here are top three places in each race:
Purestock – Heat: 1st, Cavin; 2nd, Doug Maki; 3rd, Wyatt Goodwin, Marquette. Feature: 1st, Maki; 2nd, Daniel Artibee, Marquette; 3rd, Wyatt Goodwin, Marquette.
Modified – Heat: 1st, Olsen; 2nd, John "Doc" Holliday, Ishpeming; 3rd, Mike Dupras, Wilson (alternate for Aaron Sprowl). Feature: 1st, Olsen; 2nd, Jeremy Yelle, Gwinn; 3rd, Holliday.
Super Stock – Heat 1: 1st, Stu Maki; 2nd, Terry Royer, Perkins; 3rd, Brian Ely, Marquette. Heat 2: 1st, Wittler; 2nd, Steve Pepin, Escanaba; 3rd, Darryl Britton, Marquette. Feature: 1st, Keskimaki; 2nd, Wittler; 3rd, Pepin.
Late Model – Heat: 1st, Mattson; 2nd, Jason Stanaway, Negaunee; 3rd, Ryan Longtine, Marquette. Feature: 1st, Jimmy Yelle (alternate for Allan Yelle); 2nd, Bob Goodwin, Skandia (alternate for Rob Goodwin); 3rd, Stanaway.

The fat-lipped stuffed pizza problem
April 13, 2008, 08:19:51 PM »
I am trying to perfect my stuffed Chicago style pizza. A professional Chicago style pizza has a thin raised lip on it, with the sauce a flat layer an inch or so below. When I cook my pizza, the lip I have given my pizza in forming it expands as dough tends to do when cooking, turning my thin fat lip into a fat bulbous thing that doesn't look very good. Tastes fine, of course, but looks are important too. Another problem it that my top layer forms bubbles. I've poked it with a fork before deploying it, but that didn't help. I have to pop them with my knife while in the oven, but even then I think the bubbles cause my top layer to be excessively bumpy.
A few speculations: perhaps I not making my dough firm enough? I'm using the Papa Del's recipe on this site, but the amount of flour it demands seems a bit excessive to me, and I never seem to be able to add all of it. Or perhaps there is too much gluten in my dough?
Any thoughts?

Avumede - I've made stuffed pizza in the past, but never had the fat lip, as you call it. What type of flour are you using? I like King Arthur's All Purpose, but don't know if that would be the answer for you or not. Perhaps cutting back on the yeast and extended the proof time of the dough would help. I'm not familiar with the dough recipe you used. But that's wherein the problem lies. Of course, I'm no expert, and there are others here who are, so best to wait til they chime in with some other suggestions. - Mazz

I wanted to post on this but don't have much time so if it's not spot on I'm sure someone can set it straight.
Mazz brings up a couple good points for starters. In addition, when trying to figure out the Home Run Inn clone, Peter shared some research he did in regards to oil in dough and how it would hinder oven spring. I made what I thought should be good and it just wasn't because there wasn't enough oil in the dough and ultimately we needed to get to 24-25% oil in our baker's formula for that crust. Looking at the Papa Del's recipe here on the site, the only fat is a rather scant tablespoon of butter and whatever fat comes out of the milk (used in place of water) in the recipe. Having never made this but knowing a litte about the ingredients it looks like it would produce a breadier foccacia style crust, and one that would spring considerably in the oven. You could try to just thin out dough, as it looks pretty thick, and really pat it out along the sides. I show how thin I press it against the pan walls here

OK, I should've looked at the Papa Del's recipe a little better before that last post but that's way too much dough for a 10" pie. Four cups of flour is about a pound and that's a pretty good amount for a 14" deep dish pizza. Now, I've never had Papa Del's and if that recipe comes out right for someone who does like to eat there...man, that's a lot of crust. Just eyeballing that recipe, I'd reduce it by at least 1/3 (and probably closer to 40%) for a 10" pie. Good luck.

Thanks for the suggestions. I make the papa del's recipe, but I make stuffed pizza, so I usually use about 1/4 of the dough for the top layer, and I use a 12" cast iron pan. It comes out about right.
I'll try adding more flour and more oil, as well as making the lip thinner to begin with, and hopefully that will do the trick. I make this every week currently, so I should have results by Sunday!

I don't know that I'd add more flour, it still seems to be a little too much dough for your purposes even if you're going 12" and creating a top layer. I don't know what sort of flavor you're shooting for but I think with this much dough that to triple the butter to 3 T and reduce the milk by the same amount would be OK and not seem to over do the butter. You can always add an oil, say a couple tablespoons of veggie, canola, or corn oil, even regular olive oil, instead of more butter and still reduce the milk by the same amount. Just a few thoughts.

You might want to take a more structured approach to convert the Papa Dels dough recipe to a deep-dish stuffed format.
I will preface my comments by saying that I have never had a Papa Dels pizza, and I have not attempted the Papa Dels clone recipe. However, I understand that the Papa Dels pizza is a very thick-crusted pizza and does not have a top layer.
To get a better grasp of the Papa Dels clone recipe, I made an effort to convert it to bakers percent format. In doing this, I assumed that the flour used is an all-purpose flour such as a General Mills all-purpose flour (the recipe itself is silent as to the type or brand of flour). I also assumed that the flour is measured out textbook style using the stir-lift-level method (stir the flour in the container, lift it into the measuring cup, and level off the top). Based on the above assumptions, I came up with the following formulation:
100%, Flour, 17.86 oz. (4 c.)
47.4117%, Milk, 8.47 oz. (1 c.)
2.80274%, Butter, 0.50 oz. (1 T.)
2.36273%, Sugar, 0.42 oz. (1 T.)
1.1026%, Salt, 0.20 oz. (1 t.)
1.40013%, IDY, 0.25 oz. (1 packet)
Total weight = 27.70 oz.
As noted in the above table, the total dough batch weight is 27.70 ounces. The Papa Dels clone recipe says that that amount of dough is to be used with a 10 pan. The recipe does not specify the depth of the pan, so I will assume that it is 2 deep and that the pan is straight-sided and, as the recipe instructs, the dough is pushed up to the top of the pan. Using the deep-dish dough calculating tool at
and treating the milk as being equivalent to water for hydration purposes, I estimate that the thickness factor is 0.2074, as noted in the following formulation:
Flour (100%):
Milk (47.4117%):
Salt (1.1026%):
Butter (2.80274%):
Sugar (2.36273%):
Total (155.0799%):
506.23 g | 17.86 oz | 1.12 lbs
240.01 g | 8.47 oz | 0.53 lbs
7.09 g | 0.25 oz | 0.02 lbs | 2.35 tsp | 0.78 tbsp
5.58 g | 0.2 oz | 0.01 lbs | 1 tsp | 0.33 tbsp
14.19 g | 0.5 oz | 0.03 lbs | 3 tsp | 1 tbsp
11.96 g | 0.42 oz | 0.03 lbs | 3 tsp | 1 tbsp
785.06 g | 27.69 oz | 1.73 lbs | TF = 0.2074
By any definition, a thickness value of 0.2074 reflects a very thick dough. However, you indicated that you are using a 12 cast-iron pan and that you are using about one-quarter of the dough for the top skin. If your 12 cast-iron pan is anything like my 12 cast-iron skillet, the top diameter is 12, the bottom diameter is 10, and the sides are 2 (measured on the slope). On this basis, and assuming again that the dough is pushed up to the top of the pan and that 25% of the dough is devoted to the top skin, I get the following from the deep-dish dough calculating tool:
Flour (100%):
Milk (47.4117%):
Salt (1.1026%):
Butter (2.80274%):
Sugar (2.36273%):
Total (155.0799%):
Single Inner Ball:
Single Outer Ball:
506.45 g | 17.86 oz | 1.12 lbs
240.12 g | 8.47 oz | 0.53 lbs
7.09 g | 0.25 oz | 0.02 lbs | 2.35 tsp | 0.78 tbsp
5.58 g | 0.2 oz | 0.01 lbs | 1 tsp | 0.33 tbsp
14.19 g | 0.5 oz | 0.03 lbs | 3 tsp | 1 tbsp
11.97 g | 0.42 oz | 0.03 lbs | 3 tsp | 1 tbsp
785.41 g | 27.7 oz | 1.73 lbs | TF = 0.15943
628.33 g | 22.16 oz | 1.39 lbs
157.08 g | 5.54 oz | 0.35 lbs
As noted above, the thickness factor for the last scenario I described drops to 0.15943. That number still reflects a very thick crust. Also, as Loo mentioned, because of the nature of the ingredients used in the Papa Dels clone recipe, it is likely that the crust will be bread-like as well as thick, which may make it difficult to avoid getting a fat lip. One way to deal with that problem may be to use an even lower thickness factor or, alternatively, leave the thickness factor at 0.15943 but use a smaller percent of the total dough batch for the top skin and hope that that results in a thinner lip when you join the top skin with the rest of the dough. Which option to choose may turn on whether you want a really thick crust or a thinner one. You may also decide that you dont want to push the dough all the way up the sides of your cast-iron pan. I have given you all of the bakers percents, so you should be able to use the deep-dish dough calculating tool to enter whatever set of values you would like to cover your particular situation and desires. You might also decide to use a different flour, although doing so will change all of the numbers. It will also be possible once you settle on a particular set of values to convert the weights of the flour and milk back to volumes, using forum member November's mass-volume conversion tool at
If you need any assistance, let me know.
As far as the problem with the bubbling of the top crust is concerned, you might consider pre-baking the top crust before putting the sauce and any other ingredients on top of the top crust. Given the bread-like character of the Papa Dels clone dough, I dont know how that will work out. But it is a method that is sometimes used.
Good luck.

Pete-zza, thanks for the detailed reply. This will come in useful as I try and perfect the dough. I will definitely try the more-oil approach.

I have made the next version, which basically increased the amount of butter to 4 tablespoons. I kneaded much less (just a minute). I paid special attention to the thickness of the dough at the lip. At any rate, things turned out better, but still the lip was a bit fat. Next time I may switch to olive oil and add a higher proportion of oil.

The Graduate Program in Social Work
The Graduate Social Work Program received full accreditation status from the Council on Social Work Education (CSWE) in 2004.
The MSW program at Delaware State University has one concentration — advanced generalist practice. Accordingly, the program prepares students for advanced practice with individuals, families, groups, organizations, and communities. Having satisfied all of the program's academic requirements, students leave the program with competencies allowing them to practice with and on behalf of Delawareans, and with clients throughout the region, across the nation and globally. Course offerings provide students an understanding of social, economic, political and interpersonal problems from a global perspective. Consequently, students comprehend the effects of problems, such as poverty, health disparities, racism and oppression on populations that live in parts of the world outside the United States.
It is understood that these unique elements of the curriculum are congruent with the concepts, and intervention principles that define the framework for all professional social work practice, that is, generalist practice. Therefore, students graduate able to generalize the knowledge, values and skills that underlie all social work practice in different settings with diverse populations experiencing multiple, complex problems. The MSW curriculum is grounded on the Department of Social Work's five underpinnings.
Graduates of the MSW program possess the competencies needed to engage, assess, intervene and evaluate individuals, families, treatment groups, organizations and communities. They are able to evaluate the efficacy of interventions and programs, integrate theories of personality and adult psychopathology, address health and mental health disparities from a public health perspective and understand and assimilate theories and practice principles that guide human service administration. Graduates are competent to practice with systems of all sizes in a wide array of settings—from traditional public social welfare and governmental agencies to small and medium size non-profit organizations to private and for profit entities.

Are These The 6 Best Ways To Use A Spare Room?
For a family's weekend retreat on eastern Long Island, designer Robert Stilin offers an elegant twist on the quintessential pleasures of life by the shore.More
Some years ago, a billionaire quietly bought a large parcel
of land in Sagaponack, New York, and erected a $200 million, 29-
bedroom Italianate compound surrounded by formal gardens. So it's easy to understand why residents of the tiny hamlet, which lies smack in the middle of the Hamptons, were wary when the CEO of a major lifestyle brand and his photographer wife bought one of the last intact farmhouses there. Many in town worried that the couple—whose primary home is a sprawling Westchester County estate—would tear down the farmhouse and put up a monstrosity.
Their concern was unnecessary. Instead of leveling the gracious 19th-century structure, the couple preserved as much of it as they could, creating a unique paean to the sort of casual, beachy elegance that used to define Sagaponack.
In the family room of a Sagaponack, New York, home designed by Robert Stilin, a Tom Dixon light fixture hangs above a cocktail table by HB Home; the cushions of the vintage René Gabriel armchairs are upholstered in a Stroheim stripe. The bookcase is vintage, the walls are painted in Benjamin Moore's Seapearl, and the paneled ceiling is original.
"The last thing that we wanted was a McMansion," says the photographer. Instead of being surrounded by the massive privet hedge typical of Hamptons landscaping, their two-and-a-half-acre plot is open to the neighboring houses and fields. (The Atlantic Ocean, with its radiant sunsets, is a short walk away.) The house is airy, light, and modern, with original wide-plank floors and moldings. "The floorboards creak," says Robert Stilin, a designer based in New York City and East Hampton, to whom the couple turned for help with the renovation. "It's fantastic."
A custom-made sofa upholstered in an Elizabeth Dow linen, a cocktail table from HB Home, and 1940s sconces in the family room; the Borge Mogensen–style wing chair is upholstered in a linen by Calvin Fabrics, a vintage bar cart serves as a side table, and the rug is by Merida Meridian.

Hi Bellas,
I'm back with pictures from another bridal trial. Oftentimes, when I work on Southeast Asian Brides, we'll do more than one look. I've done up to four look changes because their traditional wedding process can last a few days time.
To see the look click here!
Typically, the bride will want something more natural or traditional and then go for a dramatic look. I often ask them to bring a piece of their outfit so that we can get inspiration for the look.
In the picture, you'll see both eye looks. For each look, I'll modify the lip and cheek color but the canvas stays the same. One look was for the ceremony. I went for the traditional palette for Indian brides of golds, reds, coppers and bronzes. For the evening, we mixed it up and went for a smokey aqua eye.
The wedding is next month. I'll make sure and take pics for you all.
Till next time, Ciao Bellas!

Stewart Donaldson, professor of psychology, director of the Claremont Evaluation Center, and dean of the School of Social Science, Policy & Evaluation at Claremont Graduate University (CGU), will receive one of the highest honors from the American Evaluation Association. Donaldson will be awarded the 2013 Paul F. Lazarsfeld Evaluation Theory Award for sustained lifetime written contributions to the advancement of evaluation theory and practice.
The award honors Donaldson for his profound impact on the field of evaluation over the past three decades. He will be recognized on October 18 at the American Evaluation Association (AEA) Convention in Washington, DC.
"I am honored and deeply grateful to AEA and my wonderful colleagues who nominated me for this very meaningful and prestigious award," Donaldson said. "It will be a great challenge for me to live up to the high expectations set by the award, to Paul F. Lazarsfeld, and to the amazing cast of preeminent evaluation scholars who hold this high honor."
AEA is an international association of professional evaluators devoted to assessing the strengths and weaknesses of programs, policies, personnel, products, and organizations to improve their effectiveness. The organization has approximately 7,700 members representing all 50 of the United States as well as over 60 other countries. Donaldson was elected this year to serve as AEA's president.
Michael Quinn Patton, formerly of the University of Minnesota and founder of Utilization Focused Evaluation, led the nomination. "As an author and full-time evaluation professional, I have learned a great deal in preparing this justification statement – and I come away convinced that Stewart Donaldson is probably our field's most prolific theorist."
Donaldson is renowned for his work on theory-driven evaluation, the integration of evaluation theory and practice, applied scientific psychology, and program and organizational development and effectiveness. He has authored, co-authored, and co-edited numerous influential books, peer reviewed journal articles, book chapters, and evaluation reports.
At CGU, Donaldson develops and leads one of the most extensive and rigorous graduate programs specializing in evaluation, teaching numerous university courses and professional development workshops. He has mentored and coached more than 100 graduate students and working professionals during the past two decades. In addition, he has provided evaluation services to more than 100 different organizations and has been principal investigator for more than 30 extramural research and evaluation grants and contracts.
Beyond Claremont, Donaldson has reached out to a global audience through teaching, mentorship, practice, and developing leaders in evaluation sciences. He has influenced the careers of students, faculty, and evaluators through talks and workshops in more than 30 cities throughout the U.S., as well as Africa, Italy, Croatia, Greece, Portugal, Australia, Czech Republic, Finland, Denmark, Sweden, Barbados, Canada, and the United Kingdom.
"I can think of no one else who has done more for promoting our contemporary intellectual theoretical dialogue than Stewart," said Christina A. Christie, professor and head of the Social Research Methodology Division at University of California, Los Angeles. "His work on evaluation theory represents a set of contributions that indeed warrant distinguished acknowledgement. The Paul F. Lazarsfeld Award is one of AEA's most celebrated awards and Dr. Stewart Donaldson is more than deserving of this recognition."

Let's make it 222.
C. B. turned the list into 22 things she is thankful for in reference to Thanksgiving in the U.S. One of the comments mentioned getting 22 people to do the same and then why not 222 people. Sounds good to me.
Since I already did a Thanksgiving list I'm going back to 22 Things About Me:
1. I've been working on my genealogy for about 30 years and have numerous colonial families.
2. I've never been East of the Mississippi.
3. I wrote the book "O.K. Corral Postscript: The Death of Ike Clanton"
4. I used to own a horse name Blaze.
5. I love sarsaparilla.
6. My favorite food is steamed snow crab.
7. I do "morning pages" almost every day.
8. I love wearing my boots, hat and buckskin fringed jacket.
9. I've seen Old Faithful, the giant redwoods, the Royal Gorge and the Grand Canyon.
10. I've accepted that I will never be able to read all the books that catch my interest.
11. I used to backpack into wilderness areas.
12. I have a nine room Victorian dollhouse.
13. I've been working on a book about my childhood for my daughter and it is taking way to long.
14. I enjoy learning new things.
15. I still have my first Barbie, Ken and Skipper.
16. I've never fired a gun.

What a fun post Rita!! and just what is sasparilla anyway? Before i did art quilts and mixed media, for a period of time I designed and furnished miniature rooms and at that time I had a huge Victorian dollhouse. You should post this over on sketchbooks!!ReplyDelete
What a great list! You've made me think about a few things I might not have thought of. I'm going to try...ReplyDelete
Ok, I did it. www.quinceberry.blogspot.comReplyDelete
Hey Rita,ReplyDelete
I did mine. I love your list.
I love snow crab, too! So fun to learn new things about you after all these years of friendship. Today, I'm thankful for YOU!ReplyDelete
I was thinking that any one of those 22 things you posted could be the start of a WIG writing prompt. One thing I haven't done -- complete novel. One thing I have done -- make excuses for not having finished novel.ReplyDelete
And either way I'm very grateful for life too. Just like you!
i never had a barbie but my daughter has several that makes me happy and wow i want a victorian doll house and want to build it myself, where did you get it?ReplyDelete
hugs and sorry for being away in my lalaland, i am glad to learn so many new things about you and felt a little something about your dad
hugs my friend!
I found your post through Teri, and did my own list here: http://quinceberry.blogspot.com/ It was really interesting to read yours, some of the things I still find it hard to believe people can enjoy - horses, boots and backpacking - combined with what seem like obvious pleasures - Barbie, books and lunch with friends!ReplyDelete

Here's how RW members rated this race in the past (180 votes).
In short: Great race, lots of mud and hillsDate of review: December 30, 2011
In short: I'll be back! Thank you to everyone effort to make it happen. See you next year.In full: Hard, Difficult, Dirty, Muddy, Hot...got lost...but Absolutely Fantastic! Will do it again, this was my best challenge of the year so far!Date of review: July 8, 2011
In short: muddy funIn full: this was my first trail race. although it had been dry lately and much of the route was very hard and dry, there were still quite a few muddy bogs, streams and ditches to cross. Being a shortie, one of the bogs was hip-deep. Overall, quite challenging but fun.A couple of marshalls seemed disinterested but most were friendly and encoraging (I was near the back so some of them had been out there a while).My kids (age 7 and 10) did the mini turbo and got suitably muddy (like they wanted), but were a bit disappointed that only 12 kids entered.Date of review: May 19, 2011
In short: Brilliant race, but not quite as good as previous Turbo X's...?In full: Great race, very challenging, great fun in the mud :) The interesting thing is why this didn't feel as good as last year, a few things I think might have caused this;- smaller field? I was pretty much on my own for half the race which meant I missed out on the banter, especially in the muddy bits- lack of marshals, some key bits of the course with no-one there and some really not interested in the race :(- some bits of the course where the markings could have been clearer (I was reminding people to follow the markings, not other runners ;) ) and one area where they had obviously been removed and I went the wrong way!- tech tee sub-standard to previous years, shouldn't have bothered with the cap. bottle and For goodness shakes was good though :)Date of review: May 17, 2011
In short: A really good race, whatever your standardIn full: 2nd time I have ran this and loved it again. Brilliant course with lots of challenges. A real shame there weren't as many runners this year. My only gripes would be: 1) cups of water instead of the usual handy bottles (gave up waiting at the first water stop for a drink); 2) Goody bag was a bit sparse and the large t-shirt was not nearly large enough; 3) Only a few of the marshalls appeared interested out on the course...complete contrast to the Forces cadets at Bordon who are amazing. Still a great race though and with a few minor tweaks would be an outstanding race.Date of review: May 16, 2011
In short: Great Fun.In full: I've done a few of these Tubo X races now. Good fun all the way. What happened to the idea that the X Zone was the v.muddy bit? I would echo what people said about the good bag. Anyone worn their dairy milk hat yet? All the same good fun.For those asking about the distance. My Forerunner made it 9.29Date of review: May 16, 2011
In short: Brilliant. Made me feel like I was 10 years old again. (What do you mean its 13 miles?)In full: Really, really enjoyed this. Splish, splash, splosh. Squelch. The much feared X zone was a bit dull though and the lady running the chip tent told me that it was 13 miles (there were 13 "m"s on the map) which was wrong and messed with my pace a bit.Looks like the organisors have lost sponsership from solamon saab as the race T-shirt was a inferior to a solamon branded one.Date of review: May 16, 2011
In short: Great muddy race but the X Zone was a bit disappointing compared to other yearsDate of review: May 16, 2011
In short: Excellent - Anyone with a GPS clock the actual distance ?In full: Very good fun, but like some others I nearly missed a few turns. Would have been nice to have a medal and am not sure the "teal" t-shirt is me ! I saw a mile marker marked 12M but I am sure I ran only 10, or suddenly I am a much better runner than I thought (unlikely) - so if anyone ran with a GPS pls post what they think the distance was. Thks.Date of review: May 15, 2011
In short: A let down on previous years, but funIn full: Hobbit Matt has got it slightly wrong when he mentions about getting lost on the course but I wish him well. The fact is after about 7 miles when your eyes are popping out and you've your eyes on your footing, then, well..overall there just wasn't enough direction! Great race as always, though, but other years have been better. Will be back!Date of review: May 15, 2011

I ordered two tea trays from Miroslava Randova and they arrived, incredibly packed, padded, and protected, a few weeks ago. I took them both outside today to get some photos, but while I think I captured the smaller round tray fairly well today, I still don't have a shot that does the larger one justice. First the smaller tray, meant for a desk in a shared office, which has to be small enough to fit in a locker on days when other people are using that space:
Tea Boat by Miroslava Randova - 4 by debunix, on Flickr
It's a nice shade of brown that I think will go well with the celadon and oribe teawares that I'll use with it.
And then the larger tray, which lives on my tea preparation shelf, but took a trip outside because the tea shelf isn't really photogenic...
It's a nice warm brown and here neatly hosts bizen, korean, and czech teawares with plenty of room.

There's so much talk about these 6-in-1 tomatoes that are great on pizzas - where can one find these?? Any grocery chains carry them that anybody knows of? Or do you have to order them?Thanks!
Try sending an email to [email protected] and ask. I ordered direct from escalon website. You can also ask your local supermarket to order it for you. Most supermarkets order Heinz products.PNW
If I may interject here, I gave up on 6 to 1 and found a brand called Vita Sana Organic whole peeled tomatoes... WOW is all I can say! Like it came out of your garden...every can so far... My wife buys them at Whole Foods. You won't use anything else after these trust me!!
So the 6-in-1's are a Heinz product? And is that what it actually says on the label - "6-in-1"? What kind of tomatoes are they exactly?

Safety first on the snowmobile
Finally, after a slow start, winter has returned.
Michigan and Wisconsin are experiencing enough snowfall for residents to enjoy all types of outdoor activities.
While the snowfall totals put a smile on the faces of outdoor enthusiasts, they need to remember to participate with caution.
So far, there have been 15 fatalities among snowmobilers in Wisconsin this winter, and 12 in Michigan.
That is too many.
"We'd like to work together, concentrate on being as safe as possible while enjoying what's left of our snowmobile season," Wisconsin Conservation Warden and Snowmobile Safety Administrator Gary Eddy says. "Speed, alcohol and night-time operation are the three most common factors with our fatal accidents."
There were 10 snowmobile fatalities in Wisconsin for all of the 2011-12 season, which was nearly non-existent in a large part of the state area due to a lack of snow, Eddy says. Michigan recorded 16 snowmobile fatalities last winter.
Some parts of Wisconsin and Michigan received more snow this week as storms moved into the Midwest.
Two snowmobile deaths in Wisconsin occurred within the past few days.
A double-fatality (operator and passenger) occurred sometime overnight into early morning on Thursday, Feb. 21, in Ashland County when two snowmobilers failed to arrive at Madeline Island after leaving Bayfield.
The bodies were recovered from the South Channel of Lake Superior.
Eddy says as the winter winds down and spring gets closer, the ice conditions also start changing, adding another risk to snowmobilers.
"Ice conditions will begin to deteriorate rapidly," Eddy says. "Snowmobilers will need to exercise a high degree of caution if operating on late-season ice. The best choice is to stay off the ice altogether."
In Michigan, there have been 12 snowmobile fatalities this winter.
The latest occurred Friday in the northern Lower Peninsula involving a Detroit-area snowmobiler. Crawford County Sheriff Kirk Wakefield says a road worker discovered the victim about 7:20 a.m. Saturday in Beaver Creek Township. The site is near the shore of Higgins Lake and about 10 miles south of Grayling.
Wakefield says it appears the crash happened sometime Friday night.
Michigan and Wisconsin are popular for snowmobilers. On average, Wisconsin registers 220,000 snowmobiles annually, while Michigan has some 380,000 registered snowmobiles.
"Snowmobiling is a great winter activity and we want people to ride safe so that they can come home to their families and ride again," Eddy says.
All snowmobilers should follow these common sense guidelines:
– Don't drink: Drinking and driving can be fatal. Drinking alcohol before or during snowmobiling can impair judgment and slow reaction time. Snowmobilers who have been drinking may drive too fast or race across unsafe ice. Alcohol also causes body temperature to drop at an accelerated rate, which increases the likelihood of hypothermia.
– Slow down: Speed is a contributing factor in nearly all fatal snowmobiling accidents. Drivers should proceed at a pace that will allow ample reaction time for any situation. When driving at night, a speed of only 40 miles an hour may result in "overdriving" the headlight.
– Be prepared: When traveling, make sure to bring a first aid kit, a flashlight, waterproof matches, a knife, a compass and a cell phone.
– Stay alert: Fatigue can reduce the driver's coordination and judgment.
– Ice advice: Avoid traveling across bodies of water when uncertain of ice thickness and strength of ice on lakes and ponds. Snow cover can act as a blanket and prevent safe ice from forming. Never travel in a single file when crossing bodies of water.
– Dress for success: Use a full-size helmet, goggles or face shield to prevent injuries from twigs, stones, ice and flying debris. Windproof and water-repellent clothing should be worn in layers and should be just snug enough so that no loose ends catch in the machine.
– Avoid roads: When it is necessary to cross a road, first come to a complete stop, listen and look for traffic and use hand signals. Stay away from any automobiles whether moving or parked.
– Watch the weather: Rapid weather changes can produce dangerous conditions.
– Bring a buddy: Never travel alone. Most snowmobile accidents result in some personal injury. The most dangerous situations can occur if a person is injured and alone. If you must travel alone tell someone your destination, planned route and when you will return.

Class D volleyball quarterfinal: Gussert leads Trojans back to Final Four as Forest Park sweeps Bays 3-0
MANISTIQUE – The Forest Park Trojans came out like a house on fire Tuesday night as they stormed past the Brimley Bays 25-8, 25-14, 25-17 in a Class D state quarterfinal volleyball match.
"We put a lot of energy on the floor and that's when we play our best," said Forest Park senior Lexi Gussert, who collected 11 kills, two service aces and three digs. "We have experience. We've been here (in the quarterfinals) the past four years. They (Brimley) are a great team. They brought a lot of fans just as we did, which made it exciting."
The victory sends the Trojans to the semifinals in Battle Creek, where they'll face Battle Creek St. Phillip Thursday at 3:45 p.m.
This marked Brimley's inaugural quarterfinal appearance and the first time two Upper Peninsula teams met this deep into the state tournament.
Gussert, a Michigan State basketball recruit, had three kills for sideouts and hit both of her aces early in the first set as Forest Park built a 10-4 lead.
Later in the opener, senior Kendra Campbell added a six-point service run to put the Trojans up 20-7 and Gussert's block on junior Kitty Breen ended that set.
"We just couldn't serve receive," said Brimley coach Lisa Moran. "We had an off night passing, which made it hard for our setters. The girls were in shock in the first game. Lexi hit a couple big ones and our girls just froze. They were tough servers and we didn't execute."
The second set offered more of the same as Forest Park grabbed an 8-2 lead on back-to-back aces by sophomore Libby Shamion.
"We knew little bit about Brimley," said Forest Park coach Kim Bjork. "We knew if we served well they would have a tough time receiving. We also knew if we could get their taller girls away from the action, we had a pretty good chance."
Brimley responded with a 9-3 run, tying the score at 11 on two straight kills by 6-foot-3 senior middle hitter Hana Vesela, an exchange student from the Czech Republic.
"Facing their tall girl was good preparation for the semifinals because we're going to see a lot of tall girls downstate," said Gussert. "I thought we did a good job hitting the corners."
The Bays then committed a two-hit violation, enabling Forest Park to regain the lead for the remainder of that set.
In the third set, Brimley grabbed an 11-6 advantage on a kill by senior Kourtney St. Peter and still owned a 12-9 cushion following a kill by classmate Tabitha Graham.
Forest Park, however, scored the next four points and gained a 13-12 lead on an ace by Shamion.
That run was followed by a few exchanges of sideouts, leaving the score tied at 15.
The Trojans, taking advantage of three hitting miscues, then scored five unanswered points for an insurmountable 20-15 advantage.
"We missed some serves in the third set and they definitely challenged us," said Bjork. "All of the girls were contributing and they fought back. Everything looked good tonight. Our schedule got a little more difficult late in the season and we had to play a little harder. We also had a chance to scrimmage Calumet, which was huge."
Junior Kelsi Hendrickson hit four aces, including a pair that clipped the top of the net and appeared to catch the Bays off guard. Shamion also had four aces to go with two kills, an assist and four digs.
"Our serving was huge tonight and Kelsi pretty much kept the momentum on our side," said Bjork. "I think (junior) Adele Isaacson is the most positive girl in the world. She brings that energy that kind of carries over to the rest of the girls, and our setter (sophomore) Maria Stankewicz did a nice job distributing the ball."
Stankewicz finished with 14 assists and Isaacson had three kills.
Vesela led the Bays with six kills and five assists. Tabitha Graham added five kills and three blocks and senior Alyssa Graham had five kills and four digs.
"The outcome of this match doesn't take away from getting this far," said Moran. "We told the girls not to hang their heads. We had a great season. Only, nerves got to us tonight."
Forest Park – Gussert (11 kills, two aces, three digs); Isaacson (three kills, one dig); Shamion (two kills, four aces, one assist, four digs); Campbell (two kills, four aces, three digs); Stankewicz (two kills, one ace, 14 assists, three digs); Steiro (two kills, one dig); Hendrickson (four aces); Marinoff (five digs).
Brimley – Vesela (six kills, five blocks); T. Graham (five kills, three blocks); A. Graham (five kills, four digs); St. Peter (one kill, five assists); Kelly (four assists, three digs).

>Runner's World - My Event Ratings>
In short: Good, quick 10kIn full: Good race and well organised as usual. More toilets needed for next year. It was pretty congested after passing the finishing line so maybe a marshal to urge people along or giving the yogurts out with the t-shirts would help. Brilliant value for money!! The hill at about 5 miles near the swimming pool was a bit of a killer but otherwise a pretty fast course.Date of review: May 17, 2013
In short: Expensive but good raceIn full: I thought it was expensive this year. It cost over £30 to enter. We got a nice medal plus other bits. But when I did it in 2011 we got a medal, t-shirt, water flask, pasty etc. for the same price. I think in terms of price I'd choose to do the Tavy or Saltash half instead of the Plymouth half in future as they are better value.But it was a good race. I managed to get a PB. The last hill up to the finish line was a killer. There weren't enough toilets (standard). Overall, a good race but expensive. Date of review: May 17, 2013
In short: Better course last year but well worth the moneyIn full: Last years course was flatter and had more PB potential. It was nice to finish in the town centre though. Energy gel half way and plently of water stations. It's well worth the money, technical tshirt and a medal (and a bag of Haribo!). Great atmosphere. Date of review: May 17, 2012
In short: Brilliant race, well organised and great atmosphereDate of review: November 6, 2011
In short: Quite a hilly course, well organised and friendlyDate of review: May 3, 2011
In short: Very good, well organised, great atmosphere but not for beginners!Date of review: April 11, 2011

I've never done it this way, but speaking as a consumer, I think you should take them out of the casing.CL
Mike - I bake whole sausage at about 350F, then cut them on sort of a diagonal. Don't over cook, 140 is fine. I leave the casing (natural) on, doesn't seem to bother anyone...
Craig,Thanks for the input.You mean remove them from their casing after cooking them, right?
That's what I was thinking (assuming you were not putting the slices on raw), but it sounds like it's not a big deal.

I love Tirico. He's a class guy who calls games well; gets into the games, but not overly excited.
I hate Theismann. Consistently slurps star players, especially Ray-Ray.
I love Kornheiser...on PTI. Should be interesting to see how he fits in. He was obviously brought in to bring some levity to the crew, but hopefully it doesn't turn into a Dennis Miller situation.
Personally, I prefer a two-man crew over a three-man crew. Stepping in for Al Michaels is a tough task, but Tirico is solid.

What caused the biggest shift in human history: from hunting and gathering to farming? Dig into the ancient past for clues.
Have a question?
How would you prefer us to contact you?
By EmailBy Phone
Dig into the archaeology of Colorado's ancestral Pueblo communities to help uncover clues about the ancient switch from hunting and gathering to agriculture.
Around the globe, humans made a critical transition from hunting and gathering to agriculture. This radical change set in motion many transformations in human population size, social organization, and human–environmental relationships. The reasons for this transition are poorly understood. The Mesa Verde region in southwest Colorado is ideal for studying this transition, which occurred in this area during the Basketmaker III period (A.D. 500 to 750) and the subsequent effects of the transition over the following seven centuries. The Pueblo people, who live in the area today, are direct descendants of the Basketmakers; it may be possible to trace their origins to ancient Basketmaker III societies.
You'll join a group of archaeologists at Crow Canyon Archaeological Center, located in Cortez, Colorado, to take part in hands-on archaeological fieldwork by excavating within a large ancestral Pueblo community in the region.
When you're not excavating, doing lab work, or learning about archaeology, you'll enjoy the Four Corners region of the American Southwest. You'll explore restaurants and museums as well as sites such as Hovenweep National Monument, the Canyons of the Ancients National Monument, and Mesa Verde National Park.

Modern societies are grounded in the events of the Neolithic Revolution, which transformed societies from hunter-gatherers to farmers.
With your help, researchers hope to explain why and how human societies changed from hunter-gatherers to farmers.
Modern societies are grounded in the events of the Neolithic Revolution, which transformed societies from hunting and gathering to farming. This research will address how migration and population growth contributed to the formation of ancestral Pueblo society in the Mesa Verde region; it will place Basketmaker III society into the larger ancestral Pueblo culture history of the American Southwest; and, finally, it will evaluate the cultural legacies of the first farmers who colonized the region.
Throughout the research process, staff and volunteers will collaborate with American Indians, including Pueblo Indians, on the design, implementation, and dissemination of project results. The Basketmaker Communities Project will use gathered knowledge about deep Pueblo history to better understand the principles that govern culture change in all societies and to address issues relevant to society today.
Excavate a site of the ancient Basketmaker III community.
The research findings will be shared with professionals and the general public through publications on the Crow Canyon Archaeological Center website, peer-reviewed journal articles, and public and professional presentations. The Basketmaker Communities Project will ensure that research on the Basketmaker III period and subsequent Pueblo I-Pueblo III periods (A.D. 750-1300)—and our shared Neolithic legacy—will continue for years to come.
The project area is situated in the beautiful high desert of southwest Colorado; it offers spectacular views of Mesa Verde and the Sleeping Ute Mountains, the La Plata Mountains, the Abajo Mountains, and Shiprock, New Mexico. It's located between mountains and canyons, providing access to a wide array of landscapes. Crow Canyon is also near Mesa Verde, the nation's first archaeological park. Mesa Verde is home to 13th-century Pueblo cliff dwellings, including Cliff Palace and Balcony House.
Located near the town of Cortez, you'll have easy access to restaurants, parks, museums, and wineries. The Cortez Cultural Center is a museum and gathering place; during the summer months, Native American dances and lectures are available each night of the week. The climate is typically dry and sunny, with warm days and cool nights. Recreational opportunities include hiking, kayaking, boating, fishing, rock climbing, bird watching, and cycling.
This is a summary:
Two-week teams will follow a similar schedule for their second week.
From the top of a beautiful mesa, you will work with Crow Canyon researchers to:
In the evenings, you'll attend programs, including an introduction to research at Crow Canyon, presentations by staff archaeologists, and guest lecturers on current research in Southwestern archaeology.
Analyze artifacts collected from the Basketmaker Communities Project.
Join Dr. Susan Ryan and fellow Crow Canyon researchers in Colorado.
Susan Ryan, an Earthwatch archaeologist at Crow Canyon in Colorado, has conducted prehistoric and historic excavations throughout the American Midwest and Southwest.
You'll stay in Navajo-style log cabins equipped with electricity and wireless Internet access. Each cabin houses up to four people; shower and bathroom facilities are nearby. All facilities are fully heated, and classrooms are air-conditioned.
Breakfast and dinner are prepared by Crow Canyon's kitchen staff, and consist of delectable, healthy meals that feature hearty entrees and fresh fruits and vegetables. Meals will be served cafeteria-style communal tables. Lunches will be picnic-style and will be served in the field. The research staff and team volunteers will eat together.

This was a great experience for me. While it was fun and exciting to get my hands in the dirt and uncover thousand year old artifacts what really made it great was the staff. They were universally enthusiastic and eager to share and engage in discussion. I got a much better sense of how archaeology can inform us about current issues. The location was pretty spectacular too!

I just recieved my copy of American Archeology with the above titled article about this project. It starts with a two page picture of archeologists Steve Copeland and Caitlin Sommers in the great kiva with Ute mountain in the background! I've enjoyed working with both Steve and Caitlin on the Dillard site excavations both in 2013 and 2014! The article also mentions the large piece of shaped turquoise that I found in an excavation unit just north of the great kiva.
This is one of my favorite expeditions. It is well run by Susan Ryan, Shirley Powell and the rest of the very helpful staff. I've scheduled a return on August 16.

It was a really interesting archeology expedition, excavating a Basketmaker III site near Mesa Verde. The field work was interesting, working on a pit house near the Great Kiva in the Dillard site. The lab work was also very interesting: projectile point and ground stone analysis, the processing of finds, and some pot reassembly which was really fun.
Bring a shower caddy or some other way to carry your things back and forth from the shower since you can't leave them in there. A lightweight bathrobe is also helpful.
I was there in August, and we had afternoon thunderstorms frequently; a readily-accessible rain poncho was necessary. Sandals that can get wet were also very helpful for doing flotation analysis on lab days.
The staff, including the field staff, lab staff, interns, and especially the cafeteria staff, were excellent. The food was great, the science staff was ready and eager to talk about their research and the project, and everyone was happy to change schedules as the weather dictates. Susan and Shirley each gave up part of their weekend to take the two-week volunteers out on errands and sightseeing on the in-between days, which I really appreciated too. The interns were also unfailingly helpful.
This project is at altitude; I'm from sea level and it did take me a couple of days to adjust, particularly in the heat.

I attended this program for one week in August 2013. This was a return trip to Crow Canyon Archaeological Center, as I'd previously studied there through a National Endowment for the Humanities summer program for teachers. This August, I'm treating myself to a two-week Earthwatch Program.
CCAC is a hub of archaeological activity. It seems that many S W archaeologists have connections to this center. The facility resources, expert presentations, hands-on studies in the lab and work at the nearby excavation site make this an all-inclusive archaeological experience. Many features make CCAC a stunning campus.
In the field, I was delighted to listen when the archaeologists discussed their findings, put these into context, and shared plans and predictions. As I worked, no question was too simple and I felt supported and enlightened at every step.
As an educator, I particularly appreciate the respect shown to indigenous people, as CCAC seeks out advice and shows high regard for the input from these communities.
I found the hogans to be very comfortable. Delicious food options were offered at every meal. The lodge and Gates Building have comfortable areas for relaxing, reading and socializing. Support staff are accessible, knowledgeable and helpful.
We had a record-breaking cold and snowy winter in Minnesota. Many mornings, as I bundled up for corner crossing duty, I looked forward to this upcoming return trip, through Earthwatch, to Crow Canyon.
