"Let's face it, a nice creamy chocolate cake does a lot for a lot of people; it does for me." – Audrey Hepburn
We couldn't have said it better than that. The beautiful actress-turned-philanthropist recognized the power of dessert, and we love her for it. And since Audrey was one Fair Lady and today is her birthday, we simply had to dedicate a post to chocolate cake.
Just like the Breakfast at Tiffany's star, chocolate cake is a true classic that everyone can appreciate. There's nothing quite like a slice of rich, velvety cake frosted to perfection. Truth be told, the right recipe can turn an ordinary night into a fabulous one.
We've put together a list of some of our very best recipes that would be Audrey-approved. Face it: there are far worse (and few better) things in life than treating yourself to a slice of chocolate cake.
Inspiration for your glamorous chocolate weekend:

Get the Recipe: Chocolate Peanut Butter Icebox Cake
Get the Recipe: Giada's Chocolate Amaretti Cake

IT was not all sweet music for 90 minutes at the Reebok on Saturday – even the PA system was affected by a power outage pre-match.
But it ended on a high note thanks in no small part to Dougie Freedman's two new additions to his "CD" collection at Wanderers.
CD 1 – Craig Davies – came off the bench to score his first goal for the Whites and arguably change the course of the game to hand his manager a first Championship win of 2013.
But CD 2 was just as pivotal to the derby victory and it was clear to see from virtually the first whistle why 22-year-old centre-back Craig Dawson is so highly-rated.
From early on in last month's transfer window, the former Rochdale defender's name cropped up and Freedman was openly honest when asked about the link and his interest; he announced his admiration for the England Under-21s man without hesitation.
It was natural then that he was delighted to secure his services, albeit on a three-month loan, from West Brom.
On Saturday he finally got his first run out and hardly any paid-up member of the Whites faithful would have argued with his award for man-of-the-match.
Straight away the experience at such a young age was plain to see from high in the Gods of the Reebok press box; training with Premier League players and representing his country has clearly developed the talent first harnessed at non-league Radcliffe Borough.
Not only was his defending the no-nonsense style you often need in scrappy derby clashes – and this was certainly one of those for the most part – but his organisational skills were evident.
Constantly talking to his new back-four colleagues, he marshalled a back line alongside skipper for the day Zat Knight.
And when you are facing a goal-machine like Charlie Austin, you are doing well when he rarely gets a sniff.
Like so many of the great defenders from days gone by, Dawson has that little extra to his game – a goal threat – with five goals in 11 U21 appearances.
He may not be the biggest centre-back in the league at 6ft 2ins, but he doesn't need to be when his quick-thinking comes into play.
Time and again in a first half of few clear-cut chances, Dawson was a menace to the Clarets defence from corners, constantly on the move to work space at the far post.
He was unlucky on more than one occasion as well, inches away from Jay Spearing's deep corner early on when he headed into the ground and then even closer soon after when only the left boot of Burnley stopper Lee Grant at his post denied him a debut goal.
The half-time team talk in the visitors' dressing room must have centred on the havoc he was wreaking and Dawson was monitored much more closely after the break.
But he kept strong with his defensive duties, the Clarets opener not down to any slip by him, and snuffed out the Austin threat.
It allowed fellow new boy Davies to come on and do his thing before David Ngog grabbed what turned out to be a deserved winner.
But as debuts go, Dawson's display gave a glimpse to Whites fans just why Freedman was so happy to beat others to his services.
More man-of-the-match performances like this and Wanderers can really start to play to the right tune.

Hi guys,
I was wondering if I could have someone Else's input on dreaded CSS hacks.
Basically I have been a developer for two going on three years now and although I wouldn't call myself advanced yet, I am no beginner and my mark-up is clean and usually validates with hardly any errors. Because I learned the web languages a bit later, I was never involved in the old-skool table design methodology, I learned mainly from Sitepoint books, forums and online tutorials to do everything with pure CSS. I only really use tables for forms.
I find that I rarely need tp use CSS hacks but that I do regularly use HTML * to compensate for differing margins, font-sizes and padding on older versions of IE. I must also state that I don't bother designing for IE6 anymore so I am referring to IE7 onwards.
So my question is if I'm not using any hacks but html* should I be worried? Is there anything that you think I could be missing or is it pretty much the same for the rest of you?
If there is potential need for hacks for Safari, Chrome, Opera etc, I would love to know what sort of things to look out for.I appreciate your advice.
kind regards
I6-8 are the only browsers I have needed hacks for css. I've been using this which may look a little ugly but works perfectly.
<!--[if lt IE 7 ]> <html class="ie6"> <![endif]-->
<!--[if IE 7 ]> <html class="ie7"> <![endif]-->
<!--[if IE 8 ]> <html class="ie8"> <![endif]-->
<!--[if (gte IE 9)|!(IE)]><!--> <html> <!--<![endif]-->
It adds ie6, ie7, ie8 classes so that you can use rather than hacks.
Cool thanks for your input Mark.
Never seen that before, is that to go in the css or the html??
I use conditional comments sometimes but so far I'm not having too many problems with IE8. What sort of IE8 bugs do you find you run into? I'm just interested to know. Maybe I will run into them in the future.
IE7 doesn't understand the * html hack as that only targets IE6. You can use the *+ html hack for IE7.
There is rarely a difference in padding, margins and font-size in IE7 (excluding known bugs) so you would seldom need to hack those. Most IE7 bugs/behaviours can be catered for by doing things in a structured way from the start and avoiding the need to hack. If you make sure that what you are telling the browser to do is correct then you can avoid it error handling (such as when dimensions are over constrained and the browser has to error handle code that doesn't make sense).
Make sure floats are contained and that margins are applied correctly by taking into account margin collapse behaviour. Don't apply top margin top elements following floats and remember that IE7 will auto contain child floats when it is in haslayout mode so just make sure other browsers have the floats contained also and then they will all agree.
If you have parent elements holding complicated content then make sure the element is in haslayout mode for IE7 otherwise the children may be misplaced. For example if you use a parent with position:relative as a stacking context for absolute child element then the parent will need to be in haslayout mode (see css faq on haslayout).
Following a few simple rules will avoid the need for many IE hacks. Only use a hack when its a known bug and not just because something doesn't fit.
So my question is if I'm not using any hacks but html* should I be worried? Is there anything that you think I could be missing or is it pretty much the same for the rest of you?
If there is potential need for hacks for Safari, Chrome, Opera etc, I would love to know what sort of things to look out for. I appreciate your advice.
Leave other browsers alone. If you run into a specific bug then its better to code around it with a change of design. There are the odd times that a hack would come in handy but its a slippery slope and its best not to paint yourself into that corner
That code replaces your <html> tag.It's one of the things in the HTML5 boilerplate which is well worth a read! http://html5boilerplate.com/docs/The-markup/
Paul is right, the need for hacks is very rare.I sometimes use the ie classes not for hacks, but to give different styles when those browsers don't support a newer feature - In which case it's probably better to use something like modernizr.
I've just found it handy both having the ie version available in CSS and js for different things.
Thanks Mark I will check out that article and thanks Paul for all your advice, I have looked into a few of those possible issues and I am thinking about them lots atm.I must clairfy one point
IE7 doesn't understand the * html hack as that only targets IE6. You can use the *+ html hack for IE7..
I wasn't referring to the * html hack, I was referring to another hack html* which definitely works on IE7 because I use it all the time. I am very occaissionally getting different font-sizes in IE7 tho, does anyone have any idea why that may be?
Oh you meanelement { foo: bar; *foo: baz;} ?
How are you setting your font sizes? Are you setting something on the body tag? Are you setting it in a %? (there's a known IE resizing bug that gets magically avoided if you set a font-size in % on the body element) Are you setting a mixture of large and small x-height fonts in the same font stack.
Do you have a page to show examples of this? Doesn't have to be done, just show the problem.
Ah ok yes this works in IE6 and 7.
However it is invalid and you never know whether it will suddenly start tripping up other browsers although I guess it probably never will.
The* html and *+ html hacks are valid css and will never interfere with any browsers as they work on a broken parser concept. They will however affect specificity so they are not perfect either.
As Stomme said we'd need an example to determine where the error was occurring. Make sure you are using a full doctype as in quirks mode IE won't some inherit font-size properly into tables (plus many other bugs).
Hey Yes that's the one! Coincidentally, I only found out this week after using it for years that:html* element{font-size:15px;}is the same as:
Thanks for your interest, I'll dig something out and post back later
Ah ok I see, I'm not designing for IE6 you see so I haven't been distinguishing. Interesting to know tho thanks Paul.
Don't confuse the "universal selector" (*) with hacks.
The universal selector represents any element in that position so if you say div *{} then it will affect any element that is a descendant of div. Just as if you had said div p, div h1, div h2 etc...
When you say * html {background:red} then that's when it becomes the IE6 hack because html has no parent so the rule shouldn't match. Ie6 gets it wrong and just assumes you meant to say html {}. (The same applies to IE7 but with the * + hack instead.)
When you use the star in a property (*background:) then you are using a character hack as the property is not allowed to start with a star but IE6 and 7 just ignore it.
Ok thanks Paul that's interesting, so what your saying is that IE6 interprets * html as html{} but why then does html* work for ie6 and 7 because obviously all browsers recognize anything from the html node down?
That's another bug and when you say html* you are effectively saying something like this:
htmlh1 {}
There is no html element called htmlh1 and so the rule should fail because it should be html h1. The universal selector should have white space around it otherwise it won't work (unlike the child selector or adjacent selector).
html* is invalid css unlike * html.
When you say * html {background:red} then that's when it becomes the IE6 hack because html has no parent so the rule shouldn't match. Ie6 gets it wrong and just assumes you meant to say html {}.
I've always wondered, since IE6 has a different view of the DOM than other browsers... it uses the same view as JScript or something... I've always wondered if in * html the * referred to "document".
but why then does html* work for ie6 and 7 because obviously all browsers recognize anything from the html node down?
Every browser deals with errors in its own way (at least, until they all use an HTML5 parser, which also has rules for errors, for unified error rendering). For Trident, html* might be being error-parsed to html * {}. If no other browsers treat that error the same way, boom: you've got a (here invalid) hack for IE.
Kludge might be a better word. The art of finding which kludges will be "stable" and which might suddenly be adopted by some future browser for other reasons is, apparently, what made those early heady years of CSS exciting.
This thread has re-enforced what I believed already. If you learn CSS the proper way, you should need minimal, IF ANY, CSS hacks to create cross-browser pages which validate.
Its annoying, I took a developer contract a few months into my software career and I took over a large codebase, tons of different style rules , from some guy who clearly didn't know what he was doing.
I say that because he was constantly using hacks like: @media screen and (-webkit-min-device-pixel-ratio:0). bearing in mind that this project was PC only and has nothing to do with mobile devices of any kind.
I though that this was acceptable because I was very green and I even started to doubt my own skills because I hadn't seen this hack much. Now I know it was because the guy was a bit of an idiot LOL
Anyway thanks for all your help guys, some really enlightening stuff, it helps to know the reasons why these selectors work.

My favorite scent vamped up to make an even stronger scent. This summer marks Daisy's "first birthday" so Marc has pushed out this "intensified rendition" of the original and packaged in a black and gold bottle. I'm excited to try it when it gets to my local Bloomie's since the original is already my signature scent.
Love the perfume, got it for my birthday, it's a very nice, soft, delicate fragrance...not too overwhelming which is perfect.Tags: fashion, gifts, beauty, accessories, style, luxe, designer, Marc Jacobs, perfumeAdded 7 Years Ago from Sephora

• pernicious •
Pronunciation: pêr-ni-shês • Hear it!
Part of Speech: Adjective
Meaning: 1. Fatal or potentially fatal, as a pernicious disease. 2. Evil, insidious, spitefully destructive, as pernicious rumors.
Notes: The noun from today's adjective is perniciousness and the adverb, perniciously. This adjective is related to an old noun, pernicion "destruction, ruin", which hasn't been used much since the 18th century. A second adjective, pernicious "fast, rapid, swift", is so rare as to probably be obsolete. The same applies to its noun, pernicity. Using this adjective probably isn't worth the risk of its being confused with today's Good Word.
In Play: We should not lose sight of the association of this Good Word with death when we use it: "The toxic waste dump being planned for our neighborhood could have a pernicious influence on the air we breathe and the water we drink." However, as always, the death could be purely metaphorical: "Celia Fate's pernicious chicanery succeeded in getting her the promotion she wanted but seriously undermined our faith in the fairness of promotions here."
Word History: This Good Word comes to us courtesy of French, which lent us its pernicieux, the descendant of Latin perniciosus. This adjective came from the noun pernicies "destruction", based on per "through, thorough" + nex (nek-s-) "death" + a noun suffix. The oldest form of this root was PIE nek-/nok- "death", the same root shows in Greek nekros "corpse", found in the English borrowings necrosis "dead tissue" and necrology "obituary". The o-form turns up in Latin noxa "injury", at the root of English noxious and obnoxious. You might wonder how the drink of the gods could be associated with death. Well, the same root, nek-, appears in Greek nectar, borrowed as English nectar with a meaning far removed from death or perniciousness. However, it entered Greek meaning "that which overcomes death" from nek- "death" + tar- "pass over, overcome".

Burke Has Career Day with Hat Trick and Two Assists
MELBOURNE, Fla. – The Saint Leo men's lacrosse team picked up a victory in its first ever Sunshine State Conference game defeating Florida Tech, 13-7 on Friday evening at Hustler Stadium. The win opens the Lions' inaugural SSC season with a mark of 5-2 overall, and 1-0 in SSC play, while the Panthers drop to a mark of 1-5 and 0-1 in the SSC.
Senior Ryan Burke had a career game, tallying a personal best three goals, and adding a career-matching two assists for a new career high of five points. Dylan Yonts had a three point night, scoring two goals and adding an assist, while Miles Britton scored once and added two assists of his own. Eric Gendron matched Yonts in goals with two of his own.
Kevin Hutchinson, Mike Kavanagh, Matt Weller, Sean Connolly, and Dylan D'Airo each scored once, while Ryan McCarthy and Matt Obermeyer added assists to complete the Lions' scoring efforts on the night.
The Panthers were led by CJ Nichols, who compiled three goals and one assist for a four point performance. Nick Wynne was next, scoring two goals and adding an assist, as a total of four players contributed to Florida Tech's final score.
In cage, Dave Moore saw a total of 35 shots on the night, allowing just seven goals while making nine saves. Jordan Haynes picked up the loss for Florida Tech, allowing 11 goals while making 11 saves in 43 minutes of play. Zack Kunkel stepped between the pipes in the remaining 17 minutes, earning three saves while allowing two goals.
Will Cothron won 15-of-23 faceoff attempts and led the team in ground balls with nine to help the Lions earn their fifth win of the season.
Burke got the ball rolling with an unassisted goal with 13:26 on the clock in the first quarter, and an unassisted goal by Kavanagh 18 seconds later gave Saint Leo a 2-0 advantage early in the game. The Panthers answered back with 6:44 to go in the period on a goal by Nichols, but Saint Leo had the next blow 21 seconds later on an unassisted goal by Connolly to give the Lions a 3-1 lead.
Burke closed out the first quarter with a goal off of an assist by Britton with 2:48 on the clock, giving the Lions a 4-1 advantage entering into the second quarter. The Panthers outscored Saint Leo 3-2 in the second stanza to close out the first half with Saint Leo holding onto a 6-4 lead.
Burke got things going once again to open the third period, this time scoring off of an assist by Obermeyer to give the Lions a three goal lead, 7-4. The Panthers answered back three minutes later, but a three goal run by the Lions extended their lead by five, 10-5, with 6:58 to go in the third quarter. Both teams traded blows once last time, setting the score at 11-6 entering into the final 15 minutes of action.
The fourth quarter was scoreless until late in the game, when a goal by Nichols on a man-up opportunity gave the Panthers their seventh and final tally of the night with 2:22 to go in the game. A flurry of action by the Lions helped seal the deal as Gendron netted his first of the game with 1:17 left to play, and closed out the game with one final goal with 35 ticks remaining to call it a night.
The Saint Leo men's lacrosse team returns to action on Tuesday, March 18, when they travel to North Carolina to take on the Trojans in a 2 p.m. matchup.

MANCHESTER, UNITED KINGDOM -- (Marketwired) -- 04/22/14 -- Epistem Holdings Plc (LSE:EHP)(AIM:EHP.L), Manchester, UK, the UK biotechnology and personalised medicine company, announce a further partnership with The University of Manchester to further the understanding of the biology of chronic delayed wound healing associated with skin ulcers.
The team, led by Dr Matthew Hardman have been awarded an MRC Industry Collaboration Agreement (MICA) grant from the UK Medical Research Council to help fund the investigations. Chronic delayed wound healing is most often found in the elderly and those with diabetes. Due to the increasingly aged population and rising incidence of diabetes the frequency of chronic wounds is increasing. However, there are very limited treatments available. The research, which investigates the role of specific inflammatory mediators produced by macrophages, is intended to lead to new preclinical models to evaluate potential new therapies in this area, as well as generate new therapeutic opportunities. Dr Hardman is a world-leading expert in the molecular and cellular aspects of pathological healing and heads a multi-disciplinary research group within the Manchester Healing Foundation Centre for Tissue Regeneration at the University. Epistem's Contract Research Services Division provides specialised preclinical and scientific research services to drug development and personal care companies in the areas of oncology, mucositis, inflammation (inflammatory bowel disease and rheumatoid arthritis), wound healing and skincare. Epistem are experienced in commercialising new technologies and the partnership will allow the Company to expand its existing range of wound healing models.
Dr Hardman, who is based in the University's Faculty of Life Sciences, said: "It is a real privilege to be awarded this collaborative grant sponsored by the Medical Research Council. This partnership represents a tremendous opportunity to realise the potential of our work."
Catherine Booth, Managing Director at Epistem, added: "We are delighted to be working with Dr Hardman again, who is a highly regarded wound healing expert, and to be able to provide our customers with access to cutting edge preclinical models."
Epistem will be giving two oral presentations on recent additions to its wound healing portfolio at The Symposium on Advanced Wound Care (SAWC) on Thursday 24th April.

In IT, we sometimes coin terms for things before we know exactly what they are and how they'll be used. The resulting terms may capture a common set of aspirations and goals – as "cloud" did broadly for on-demand, self-service, and flexible computing. But such a term can also lump together diverse and even competing practices, technologies, and priorities to the point where important distinctions are glossed over and lost.

text: NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- How many times have you gotten a last minute call or text from a friend hosting a party: "Can you bring ice?" "Don't forget the booze!" or "I think we may need something for dessert." Those of us who enjoy having people over understand the pressure of being a good host, and if you've ever attended a house party, you know it's considered good manners to walk through the door holding a bottle of wine in one hand and a box of cookies in the other. Unfortunately, party planning isn't always easy, and if hosting gets the best of you, it might be tempting to reach out to guests and ask them to supply what you need. But there's a fine line between a simple request for extra drinks and a demand for bottles of champagne your guests simply can't afford. Before you plan your next party, make sure you're not asking your guests for more than they feel comfortable with. Experts warn that greedy hosts may find themselves permanently removed from others' guest lists. Is it rude to ask guests to bring food and drink to a party? It depends on the type of party, says Heather Bell-Pellegrino, president of A Perfect Plan!, a Westchester, N.Y., event planning firm. "If it's a backyard barbecue/get together, it is not rude to ask guests to bring a dish. Tell your guests you're so excited to be hosting the get together, and are going to supply the main meal but would appreciate everyone bringing a bottle of soda and a bag of chips," Bell-Pellegrino says. You can also tell guests that you're going to provide wine and beer, for example, and if they would prefer another form of beverage, they can feel to bring their own, she suggests. With that said, if you're throwing a birthday party or any type of party where gifts may be exchanged, it's not acceptable to ask for food or drink. If there are presents being exchanged "I would certainly say to keep the party within your budget so you can genuinely host your guests; they should not be asked to bring something in addition to a gift. I'd say the rule of thumb would mainly be if your guests are bringing a gift, it is not appropriate to ask them to contribute further."

Just some basic facts and figures to keep in mind, courtesy of the amazing people at MLBTradeRumors.com.
The Mets, if we assume they are letting Mike Pelfrey, Andres Torres, Rob Johnson, Manny Acosta and Fred Lewis go without qualifying offers, will be on the hook for an estimated $8.5 million to four players: Ike Davis, Daniel Murphy, Bobby Parnell and Josh Thole.
Add that to the $80.5 million due to Johan Santana, Jason Bay, Jon Niese, Frank Francisco, R.A. Dickey and David Wright, and you get $89 million for 10 players.
Payroll was $91.6 million in 2012, and is to remain static in 2013.
If the other 15 players are all minimum salary players, at $490,000, that's another $7,350,000, or a total of $96.35 million.
Somethig doesn't add up here. And the ludicrously underwhelming offers to Wright and Dickey make it fair to wonder if the Mets plan to cut salary by eliminating two of their salary obligations for 2013 that are movable via trade. It also explains the Ike Davis/Jon Niese trade talk.

Assigned Reading
Posted by esclark
14 comments
Though the summer still feels in full swing, the fall semester is rapidly approaching, and it's thinking about my fall teaching schedule that led to this post. This fall semester I'm teaching a new course for me to a student body that will also be new to me (going from Florida State University to Gonzaga University). This course in particular has been on my mind. More specifically, and more generally, I've been thinking about what I assign my students to read and why. And I'm curious to hear from fellow bloggers and readers of the blog about this: what do you assign and why?
What I ended up going with for this course (African American Religions) was: Al Raboteau's A Fire in the Bones (a collection of reflections and essays), Milton Sernett's African American Religious History (a documentary reader), and James Baldwin's The Fire Next Time (2 short essays from the early 1960s). I'm supplementing this with a variety of other readings: excerpts from the FBI files on the Moorish Science Temple, theoretical articles on the field, black liberation theology, and material from my own research on Afro-creole Spiritualism in New Orleans. I like using lots of primary sources, and I think that will work especially well in this class. Right now the enrollment is small; in fact, the smallest class I've had to date. I'm looking forward to organizing some of our meetings more like a seminar than a typical undergraduate class and have group discussions about the conclusions and interpretations we can make based on the primary sources we have.
What I didn't assign this term—and came close to—was fiction. In my Religions in America course this fall, I'm assigning Brian Moore's novel Black Robe. In almost every iteration of this course that I've taught thus far, I use this book. I "blame" Amy Koehlinger for this. When I watched her teach this book and other works of fiction in her classes, I noticed how students responded to it. It seemed like they actually read it and liked it. Since Black Robe was inspired by The Jesuit Relations, students still got some history but they also got a clear story. I could have easily assigned fiction in the African American Religions class. I considered Baldwin's semi-autobiographical Go Tell It on the Mountain and Zora Neal Hurston's Moses, Man of the Mountain. I went with The Fire Next Time because (and I know this isn't the most sophisticated rationale) there's a power to it. It's honest and prophetic. And it's a book that I think will stick with my Gonzaga students. For the last two years, Gonzaga has ranked number one for alumni that go into the Peace Corps for the small colleges and universities category. The emphasis on social justice is alive and well at GU, and I anticipate Baldwin's prose will unsettle them.
I'm curious to hear how others make decisions about what readings to assign in class and why. Fiction? Non-fiction essays? Secondary literature? Primary Sources? Does enrollment shape your decisions? Would you pick the same books if it was a class capped at 100 as you would if the class was capped at 15?

Sounds like a great line-up, Emily! Do you also show the film Black Robe? It's a staple in my early US survey courses.
- esclark at: July 25, 2014 at 1:20 PM said...
I haven't shown the film. I've thought about showing the final scene ("if you love us, baptize us") after the class finishes the book. The film version would also do well in a course on Native American Religions.

On the primary source trail: Davis Houck just turned me on to this primary source, great speech by Fannie Lou Hamer (better than some of her more famous ones) which you can read but also have students listen to: http://voicesofdemocracy.umd.edu/hamer-were-on-our-way-speech-text/

hit them strong with New Orleans material, Emily - but I'm guessing you already are.
- Randall at: July 26, 2014 at 5:21 AM said...
This sounds like an excellent course. I've always wondered about using Baldwin's Go Tell It on the Mountain. I've had good luck with selections from the PBS doc film This Far by Faith. http://www.pbs.org/thisfarbyfaith/
- esclark at: July 26, 2014 at 8:53 AM said...
Thanks for the heads-up Paul. I've played parts from FLH's "Songs My Mother Taught Me" before in a course. And yes, there's probably more NOLA in my course than there would be in most others (except maybe Pasquier).
And Randall, you're the second person to suggest using parts of "This Far by Faith." While I'm away at AAR, I might have the class watch parts and write a reflection on it.

I used fiction for the first time in a women's history class I taught for art students in the spring (figured I had more liberty to stray) but it worked so well I can't wait to do so again. I'm always excited to see more teaching conversations on the blog - thanks for this, Emily!
- Charlie McCrary at: July 26, 2014 at 6:36 PM said...
Regarding primary/secondary sources, I think the course level matters. In a survey course, there's so much to cover that scholarly debates sometimes have to take a back seat to just learning facts (of course, everyone strikes a different balance here.) I've assigned a lot of primary sources and then used class time to contextualize them.
For an upper-level course, which I'll be teaching for the first time this fall, I'm hoping that secondary sources will work better. We're reading four monographs. Juniors and seniors should have some background knowledge (whereas with freshmen we must assume basically none) and should be able to engage scholarly arguments.
I don't have much teaching experience, though, and none with upper-level courses yet, so maybe I'm wrong. Maybe I'll write a post after the semester about how the monographs worked.
- David True at: July 26, 2014 at 7:58 PM said...
Thanks for sharing your thought process about texts/sources. I'm trying to make decision for a spring seminar on "The Religion of MLK." The particularity of one figure might seem to discipline my choices, but with King it seems to just the opposite. I've been wondering about fiction, so good to hear of your experience.
- esclark at: July 26, 2014 at 10:04 PM said...
To Charlie's comments, I definitely think the course level matters. As a graduate student I never taught above a 2000/200 middle course level and my courses this fall are both 200 level as well. And with an upper level course, you can hope for more background knowledge and a couple department majors too. I hope you do write a post about your experience teaching an upper level course.
I think the kind of courses your department offers also matters. I'll be the first Americanist at my institution, and so I get to work on building that part of the curriculum. And this will be the first semester.
Maybe I'll write a follow-up post at the end of the semester. I will likely also be offering African American Religions in the spring, and (knowing me and my past teaching experience), I will change at least one book.
And David, thanks for your thoughts too. MLK - I'm sure you're wading through a lot of choices on books. What fiction were you thinking of going with?
- esclark at: July 26, 2014 at 10:14 PM said...
And to Monica too - What book did you use and what was the course title?
- Tom Van Dyke at: July 28, 2014 at 10:58 PM said...
I don't know what effect they had on Af-Am religion on the real level, but Frederick Douglass's indictments of America's "Evangelical Alliance"
and monograph "Bibles for the Slaves"
are devastating.
- Monica L. Mercado at: July 30, 2014 at 7:07 PM said...
Emily - I designed and taught a Chicago-inspired history based course at the School of the Art Institute, called Women in the City. But I do remember *taking* my very first Religion in American Culture college class, where we read, in addition to scholarly monographs, The Damnation of Theron Ware and Death Comes to the Archbishop...

I've been using both memoir and fiction (and secondary sources) in assorted undergraduate classes. I teach a class on religion and children's literature with a heavy African American studies component---one book that is elegant and quite helpful is Jacqueline Woodson's YA novel Feathers. In a course on women and religion, I've used The Book of Mormon Girl with great success. Thanks for sharing your ideas and reflections.

Discussion in 'Draft Zone' started by RS12, Jan 30, 2013.
He looks like Mo Collins to me, and Mo Collins did pretty well as a right guard for Callahan.
Im not down on Fluker at all but it's crazy talk to want him in the 1st round.
I don't think there was many options other than draft some linemen or high price FAs. Draft is out of the question if you look at recent history.
You may be right, but it was reported that these two were hand picked by Callahan as guys that would play well despite their history of being jags.
There are some comparisons between Fluker and Flozell. If so, I want him. I was Flozell fan. Some may disagree, but this line needs some of that.
I think the "hand picked" report was a bit misleading. It's not as if they said, here pick the 2 best FA Guards. It was more like, pick the 2 best out of the bargain bin.
I don't see any similarity between Fluker and Flozell. Flozell had elite quickness. Flozell was a 5-time Pro Bowl LT and 1-time All-Pro. I don't think anybody is projecting Fluker to LT.
Broaddus is the one making Flozell comparisons.
Flozell Adams did not have elite quickness so far as I can remember. He had a heck of a wing span and when he got his hands on you, he controlled you but I don't remember him ever being real quick for a LT.
I can see how Broaddus might try and make that comparison but I would have to see how Fluker performed at the combine. Right now, I think he might be even slower then Flozell was, coming out of Michigan St.
There are reasons that BB is no longer a scout.
For discussion sake how does he compare to Andre Smith/James Carpenter? Andre Smith had a slow start to his career due to injuries, but he was a dominate run blocker while more than holding his own as a pass protector this season. James Carpenter similar to Andre Smith has struggled with injuries his first couple of seasons and is viewed as a G/T player.
The Hotel was under rated by a lot of people here - at his best he was an elite LT.
We found out that after he started to decline. As usual here a lot of people who hated on him found out the hard way what it was like once he started to decline and was gone.
Sort of like a lot of Romo haters will be when he is gone and we are back to the Q-Henson-Hutch mess again.
I do not at this time see Fluker as being as good as the Hotel was; but fairly close right now and of course he can certainly get a lot better
Flo was one hell of a lineman. Tyron will be lucky to reach his level.
We better hope he dwarfs flo's career or we didn't really capitalize on that pick.
Flozell had elite quickness in the early years. He was a 5x Pro Bowl and 1x All-Pro Left Tackle. There are very few, if any All Pro Left Tackles that don't have elite quickness.
No. I don't really agree with that. He had excellent length and strength. When he got his hands on you, he could control you and he was very good at that but he was not quick IMO. That's one of the reasons he had so many holding calls and false starts.
The Theory was that the false starts were partially due to him being deaf in his right ear. Early in his career the penalties were primarily false starts. The holding calls started when he began to lose his quickness in the later years.
I agree, part of the issue might have been hearing but that was not the entire problem IMO.
I never considered Flo to be a very quick LT but it's a matter of opinion. Our two don't agree on this player but that's OK. That's why you have discussion boards.
You do a good job with persuasive arguments, to the point that you had me doubting my memory. Luckily, I work from home and just happen to have some old VHS tapes. I found some from the 1999 season.
After review, I'm going to stay with my opinion that he had elite quickness; however, I should probably give my definition of elite.
Did Flozell have Tyron Smith type of quickness? No, very few players have that level of quickness that are in Tyron's (6-5, 307) weight range. I don't think there are any with that level of quickness that were as big as Flozell (6-7, 340).
It could be that we just have a different definition of elite quickness.
That is reasonable. To me, I just look at the position as a whole and then I define it as such. Size is really not something I consider, other then to compare it to another player who may not have that kind of size. To me, he did not have that kind of quickness but certainly, for his size, he was a very good athlete with better then average agility. Just not at the very top of the spectrum IMO.
I have no real issue with what you say above. I think Flozell was a very good player for us. He frustrated me with the holds and the false starts and I thought we held on to him too long but over all , I think he was a very good LT for us.
I do think, however, Johnson is a better athlete. He will not be as powerful as Flo and he probably won't have the length but he will be, athletically superior. Having said all this, that doesn't mean he will be better. That remains to be seen.
Yea he'd be on my short list of players in Round 1, extremely powerful with a nasty demeanor. Plus he has positional versatility, could play either Guard spot or RT. I think he can be a Pro-Bowl type of Guard where he'll be able to do what he does best, maul people in a phone booth, but I can also see him being a pretty good RT within time.
Fluker's Official Combine Arm Length ... 36 3/4!

Snooki Hosted a Pool Party
Taking the old adage of surrounding yourself with women less attractive than you to a whole new extreme, Snooki hosted a pool party at Wet Republic in Vegas over the weekend where her bikini fought a losing battle with her ass, leaving nothing but death and carnage in its wake. Nuclear scientists are looking at these right now and wondering how radiation from Japan spread so quickly. "This can't be right, and yet there's Gamera eating that poor woman's swimsuit. No, no, it's too soon!"

Whats with saying that all of the Lapush pack are Ware Wolves. There not!! While in New Moon, Eclips, and the Beging of Breaking Dawn they are considered were wolves they are really just shape shifters. This is clarified by Edward with help from the Volturie during the big (almost) fight seen with the volture at the end of Breaking Dawn. The real were wolves are refered to as "The Children Of The Moon".
Seven unnamed wolves..? Edit
I read through Breaking Dawn again, and there were only ten wolves- Sam, Jared, Paul, Quil, Embry, Jacob, Leah, Seth, Collin, and Brady. I didn't see anywhere that there were seven more. Could someone clear this up? A page number would be nice.

- Sure, no problem. It's on pp. 682-683 of Breaking Dawn: "On either side of our uneven line, the wolves branched out in long, bordering arms. I only spared a fraction of a second to note that there were more than ten wolves, to recognize the wolves I knew and the ones I'd never seen before. There were sixteen of them spaced evenly around us — seventeen total, counting Jacob." TagAlongPam (talk) 03:31, 20 May 2009 (UTC)
Oh, thanks. But isn't Jacob's pack just Leah and Seth? Why does it have Quil and Embry listed under it?
188.8.131.52 02:02, 29 May 2009 (UTC)me again
Because it is mentioned that Quil and Embry eventually join Jacob's pack. I'll see if i can find the exact page numbers for you later.
Pack shielding. Edit
I'm almost positive that Bella can shield a whole pack acting on its Alpha, with the protection going down the ranks. Breaking Dawn, during the Volturi confrontation, I think. Unfortunately, since I found that the book was less than thrilling, I'm not completely sure, and have not kept the book. If so, it's just about surprising that it has not been mentioned before - it would be an indication that a pack is not just a group of highly trained, intelligent and cooperating wolves, but something akin to a hive-minded superorganism. I would like confirmation before bringing here on a main page. Ngebendi 14:34, September 28, 2010 (UTC)

FRANKFORT, Ky. -- Tara Boh Klute, head of the statewide Pretrial Services program for the Administrative Office of the Courts, has received the 2012 Public Advocate Award from the Kentucky Department of Public Advocacy for promoting pretrial justice.
State Public Advocate Ed Monahan presented the award to Klute at the DPA's Public Defender Education Conference in Louisville on June 5. The award is given annually to individuals who advance justice in the commonwealth.The award is a framed copy of the Kentucky Bill of Rights with an engraved placard bearing Klute's name and the award title.
In presenting the award, Monahan praised Klute's work with the risk-assessment tool that pretrial officers use to make recommendations to judges on pretrial release for defendants.
"Tara has been a major contributor in the evolution of Kentucky's validated, evidence-based risk assessment, which uses facts, not rhetoric or ideology, for making decisions on bail," Monahan said. "It is imperative to a just and effective criminal justice system that we have decision making that is informed, reasonable and meets the constitutional call for pretrial release. The Kentucky Pretrial Services program operates with these values."
Klute assisted with developing and implementing the risk-assessment tool and, in 2010, secured funding for a federal study to measure its effectiveness. The study results showed that Kentucky's pretrial release, rearrest and failure-to-appear rates were among the best reported by any criminal justice program in the nation, according to the non-profit Pretrial Justice Institute in Washington.
PJI Executive Director Timothy J. Murray said Klute's "remarkable leadership and professionalism have set a new standard for pretrial practitioners everywhere."
"Her dogged commitment to justice, collaboration and accountability has made the Kentucky justice system safer, more effective and fairer while inspiring stakeholders across the nation to reach for the standards she has worked so hard to make a reality," Murray said.
As chief operations officer for Pretrial Services, Klute assists in operating a department with more than 280 pretrial officers and other employees. The department provides investigation, supervision and diversion programs as part of the state court system. Klute has worked in Pretrial Services for the AOC for 17 years and has been at the helm of the program for four years. Klute began her career in Pretrial Services as a line interviewer for Fayette County. She served in several supervisory positions before being named assistant general manager of Pretrial Services in April 2006 and then moving up.
"Since Tara began working for the court system as a pretrial interviewer in 1995, she has earned many promotions and helped Kentucky build one of the strongest pretrial programs in the country," AOC Director Laurie K. Dudgeon said. "The Kentucky Pretrial Services program is known throughout the state and country and Tara is considered an expert in the area of pretrial release. The Public Advocate award recognizes all she has done to ensure that defendants in Kentucky are treated fairly during the pretrial process."
In addition to her role with the pretrial risk-assessment tool, Klute has been instrumental in the Judicial Branch's implementation of House Bill 463, the state's sweeping penal code reform that went into effect in June 2011. During the past five years, she has played a key role in developing a sophisticated statewide case management system that replaced a paper system. She was also involved with expanding the Pretrial Diversion Program to 26 counties and implementing the Monitored Conditional Release Program statewide.
Klute has served on committees for the National Association of Pretrial Services Agencies and was named NAPSA Member of the Year in 2009. She has presented and served as a facilitator at state and national conferences.
Pretrial ReleaseKentucky requires its pretrial officers to interview individuals within 12 hours of arrest. Pretrial officers perform an investigation and collect background information. Once they verify the information and conduct a background check, they complete an objective 13-question risk assessment and make recommendations to the presiding judge on granting pretrial release.
A defendant's release is based on an assessment of his or her flight risk, anticipated criminal behavior and danger to the community. These factors are measured by the defendant's family ties, employment, education, length of residence, criminal history and other related matters. The current risk-assessment tool was adopted in 2006.
Administrative Office of the CourtsThe AOC is the operations arm for the state court system and supports the activities of nearly 3,300 court system employees and 403 elected justices, judges and circuit court clerks. As the fiscal agent for the state court system, the AOC executes the Judicial Branch budget.

Welcome to Liverpool Public Library
1979 Library HistorySome of the library sponsored programs in 1979 included a musical event, "Pocket Opera," a four week photography series by Toby Crawford, a pet care workshop, "Sewing for Beginners," a personal home computer demonstration, Halloween Pumpkin Bash and the usual book discussion club, story times and monthly Sunday afternoon concerts.
Early in January the Board announced that the library's budget referendum would be held separately from that of the school district. Library officials hoped that holding it separately would help to "eliminate the confusion that results from a combined referendum." Last year's defeat prompted this action.
A bomb scare took place on March 2 and staff and patrons had to evacuate the building. Fortunately it was a hoax. (Anonymous sources report that the staff put a sign on the door saying "Closed for Repairs" and made a hasty retreat to Mothers Restaurant on First Street.)
And so on April 3 a $441,000 budget was presented to the voters of the LCSD. It was approved by a vote of 301 to 46 ( significantly less than the previous year's tally of 1132-1286.) Stuart Krupkin and Judith Green were reelected as Trustees.
Virginia Henderson, the clerk who did all of the card catalog filing, took on the responsibility of Interlibrary loans.
Wilhma's entry for April 30 says she began to bank the library money twice a week. There was $108.93 from fines and $39.60 from the copier. She noted that the Red Cross Blood Pressure Unit would be at the library the first and third Tuesday of every month from now on. (In the year 2000 they were still holding the clinic on Tuesdays! )
May 21st marked the dedication of the large meeting room to Miss Frances Carman, who had served as the director of the library from 1964 to 1970. The public was invited to participate in the dedication ceremony. Henceforth the room was known as the CCR- the Carman Community Room.
On June 1st Renee Romance began as a volunteer, preparing books for circulation at the library branch which was to be located in Room 108 at the former Mark Loveless Elementary School on School Road.
At the June Board meeting the trustees elected Stuart Krupkin as their President and Larry Dunstone as their Vice President/Financial Officer. Anita DePentu was named Secretary to the Board.
Art in the Park took in $356.14 on July 14 and 15.
In August word was received from the Central New York Community Foundation that the $4000 grant previously awarded for a bookmobile could be used to help the defray the cost of establishing the Mark Loveless Branch.
September 19 marked the official opening of the Branch. Hours of service were Tuesday and Thursday from 1:30 to 5:30 p.m. and Wednesday evening from 7 to 9 p.m. Judy Sibio and Mary Lou Matthews, who later became clerks in the Audio Visual and Technical Services departments respectively, were also volunteers.
In early December a library Christmas party was held at the Beefsteak Mining Company Restaurant at the Penn Can Mall. It was the first time the party had been held at a restaurant and not at the library or in the home of a librarian.
For almost a decade the librarians took turns writing a column for the Liverpool Salina Review. In Fay Golden's final column of the year she reminisced about the seventies and pondered what changes would occur in the eighties. At year's end the library employed 6.2 librarians, 16 clerks and pages, and a full time custodian.

How to Handle a Workplace Bully
Stuck in a hostile work environment? Try this seven-step plan to knock your bully down a peg.
-David Sbarra, Ph.D., YouBeauty.com
Most of what we know about bullying comes from the schoolyard. There is a broad body of research on the subject and it's being discussed more and more in the media, including in public service announcements about how to teach kids to stick up for picked-on classmates. About one-third of people report being bullied as a child with about five to 10 percent reporting being severely victimized.
Kids can be cruel, but bullying is not a strictly childhood phenomenon. Many adults report being bullied at work, and the net effect of these toxic behaviors can leave us feeling humiliated, ashamed, embarrassed, intimidated and even depressed. Bullying is intentional hostility or aggression that is repeatedly directed at a target person who is usually less powerful than the bully. The hostilities can be emotional or physical, and the acts toward the target are done to coerce, intimidate or gain and maintain power. The topic of bullying in the workplace is a relatively new area of research (though, surely, people have been bullying each other for as long as they've worked together), but it is one that is growing rapidly.
Recognizing a Bully
Most simply, if you are repeatedly tormented and singled-out for intimation by a person who is trying to gain and use power over you, or to simply wear you down and frustrate you, then you're being bullied.
If, on the other hand, your boss is simply a mean person and yells at you and everyone else quite a lot (like in The Devil Wears Prada), this is likely not bullying. It's not always black or white; the line of what is and isn't bullying can become very blurred (like in the movie "9 to 5").
Read How to Handle Difficult People
Let's assume, for the sake of discussion, that it is your immediate supervisor who's after you. This woman, let's call her Fran, is jealous of your performance. You're far out-pacing her productivity when she was in your position, and it's clear upper management has you on the radar for a promotion, perhaps even before Fran.
What does Fran do that's so bad? Well, for starters, she always gives you assignments at about 4:45 p.m., right before it's time to quit for the day. These assignments are always urgent, and they often come on Friday afternoons.
Fran also undermines you in public. She puts you down in subtle ways in front of others ("I liked your presentation at the meeting—I barely even noticed when you misreported those sales numbers."), then explodes on you in emails, calling your ideas stupid and your choices unprofessional. On several occasions she has had the gall to lament about why you don't treat her better, suggesting you're not a team player. When other people are around, she sometimes supports your ideas, but everyone can sense her true feelings and your co-workers have even started to ask you why she dislikes you so much.
Having Fran as a boss makes going to work really stink. You love what you do but you hate your work environment. She's got it out for you, and you're overwhelmed by the sense that she's not going to stop until you crack down the middle.
Does it sound like I know your bully? I have some personal experience with workplace and schoolyard bullying, and it's true that one of the worst parts about it is feeling trapped, like there's no way out of the situation.

• albatross •
Pronunciation: æl-bê-trôs • Hear it!
Part of Speech: Noun
Meaning: 1. A large web-footed sea bird with a hooked beak and long, narrow wings, of the family Diomedeidae, that flies the oceans of the Southern Hemisphere. 2. A curse, a constant burden, an obstacle to success. 3. In golf, a score of 3 under par on a hole, one less stroke than an eagle.
Notes: This poor bird was accidentally maligned by a poem, The Rime of the Ancient Mariner by Samuel Taylor Coleridge. The albatross was beloved by ancient seamen because it flew so far out from shore, it was usually the first indication of land seen on board inbound ships. In Coleridge's poem, a seaman killed an albatross then had to wear its carcass around his neck in penance. The plural is albatrosses.
In Play: Speakers of all languages find references to animals much more striking and memorable than references to objects or abstractions. That makes today's Good Word an ear-catching metaphor in all situations: "Mom, Billy is such an albatross! Why do I have to stay home and baby-sit him again?" Just look around for clever applications, "Jess Gough called her husband 'Al Batross' for several years before he finally caught on and took offense."
Word History: Today's Good Word probably started out as Latin alcatras "pelican" (or the Portuguese or Spanish version, alcatraz) but shifted under the influence of Latin albus "white". The Latin word was borrowed from Arabic al-gattas, comprising al- "the" + gattas "diver, sea eagle". Arabic gattas is the noun from gatasa "to plunge, dive". Now you also know where Alcatraz Island in San Francisco Bay, home of the infamous prison, got its name.

Flaminius wrote:... It is ahoodori (idiot bird).
It is easy to imagine that the term «阿呆鳥» arises from the bird's lack of fear of humans, which as mostly everyone (or thing) which has encountered the latter species has been quick to learn, can have deleterious consequences. In Chinese as well, the bird has been used to symbolise rigidity and lack of intellectual agility (the ancients thought that it sat still and neglected to catch fish which swam before its very eyes), but its name in that language is rather more poetic than that used in Japanese, viz 信天翁 - «old man of the skies». We must hope that it will not be caught up in the wave of marine extinctions, on the cusp of which scientists fear we now stand....
