The Stepney Star Daily Diary
Here is the News...
November 2013
Phase 2/3 and Year 1 Enjoy a Multicultural Afternoon!
We had a crowded hall this afternoon when members of the Humber All Nations Alliance (HANA) visited us. About 20 people representing different cultures and countries brought artefacts, clothing and photos from their home countries. Our phase 2/3 and year 1 pupils were given a carousel of activities including singing and dancing but arguably the best part of the proceedings was to dress up in wonderful costumes. It was really a spectacle and added yet another dimension to the rich and vibrant African unit that our phase 2/3 pupils have been studying this term. Our thanks go to all concerned for giving us a truly memorable experience this afternoon.
Year 6 Tree Planting!
Year 6 joined David Longthorne this afternoon to plant trees along the banks of Barmston Drain. This is the third year that we've been involved with this project and we're delighted that our pupils are helping to improve the local environment.
Attendance Figures
We are continuing to monitor our attendance figures and offer help and support to parents in order that their children can improve their attendance or maintain 100% attendance. At the moment our attendance for the year is 95.64%. This is a big improvement on last year's final percentage but it is important that we still work towards our target of 96%.

Christmas Jumper Day!
We are having a special fundraising day on Friday 13th December. For £1, pupils and staff can come in their Christmas jumpers to raise money for Save the Children. If pupils don't have a jumper, there will be resources to decorate their sweatshirts for the day (these won't be permanent of course!)
Simply Brilliant !
Our Foundation Stage and Year 1 areas were positively buzzing on this morning with their latest exhibition. The theme for the Foundation Stage was the body, and there were plenty of activities going on, including craft, ipads, reading as well as parents and carers looking at their children's work. In year 1, some were making CD covers about the Beatles, others were making mobile phones and Gruffalo models, while another group made mosaics. All these tied in with the work the class has been doing this term. Many thanks to the 31 parents who attended. All the comments from the exhibition have been posted on our website as usual.
The Parents' and Carers' VOICE

Christmas Secret Shop !
Yes, it's that time of the year again! Mr Morfitt is in final preparations for this year's Christmas Secret Shop: the opportunity for pupils to buy those extra presents for their loved ones! The price of the gifts will be £2. We always try to keep the price down but can't get any decent gifts for less than this. The shop is not a profit-making one. What we charge covers the cost from our suppliers. Next week, on Friday 6th December, the shop doors will be opening so pupils need to bring their money with them.

David Longthorne - Tree Planter Extraordinaire!
For the last two years, we have had David Longthorne popping into school to enlist the help of our year 6 pupils in a neighbourhood planting project. Alongside Barmiston Drain, he has been planting trees and shrubs to enhance the area. He came in today to explain to our year 6s exactly what they will be expected to do, when he returns on Friday afternoon. He told them about the care that will be required when handling and planting the trees. We ask that parents and carers of these pupils ensure they come to school with a waterproof coat and sensible shoes.
The Cycle and Scooter Racks Arrive!
As we announced several weeks ago, we have ordered some new cycle and scooter racks and these have been fitted today. The existing cycle rack has been getting packed to overflowing as more and more pupils choose to come to school on their bikes or scooters. Mr Browning and Mr Foston moved it away from the entrance to the school and into the corner where it has been now been joined by our new additions. May we remind parents and carers that pupils may bring their own locks to secure their bikes.
The Choir At St. Stephens
The following link features a story and video of our school choir performing at St Stephen's shopping centre as part of the Beatles celebration.
Hands On History
Our year 6 classes were given a real sense of life in Victorian Britain by visiting the 'Hands On History' museum in Hull today. At Stepney, we are keen for our pupils to have rich experiences like this which had to the richness of their curriculum and provide a stimulus for their school work.

class teacher each Monday for banking purposes. Children should
not be bringing money into school on other days.
School Photograph Money !
This week you should have received a school photograph for your child.
Payments and orders for these need to be returned to school by 9am on
Wednesday 27th November i.e. nexweek. We are sorry for it being such a short deadline but this is when the photography company need the orders in for, to make sure we get them back in time for Christmas.
Phase 2/3's African Exhibition !
Thirty one parents joined our year 2 and 3 phase this morning for another highlight of the term: another of our popular exhibitions. Starting off proceedings in the hall, parents and carers were treated to three brilliant African songs before heading up to classrooms for a morning of intense African mask making. Some of the pupils' comments from our phase 4/5 exhibition said that they wanted more chance to show their school work to their adults, so we ensured that plenty of time was given to this as well. It was another tremendously enjoyable session. The many comments from parents and carers go some way to reflecting the feel good factor that always accompanies our exhibitions. It is a shame we can't record all the laughter and smiles as well!
The Parents' and Carers' VOICE
We asked our adult visitors to the phase 2/3 exhibition what they thought about this morning's activities. All comments have been recorded. XXX has been used to substitute people's names.

Please will you continue to support us in ensuring that all our pupils maximise the time they have in school. Stepney endorses the 'Proud Parents' campaign in Hull which encourages parents to Talk and Listen to their children; to ensure they Attend school, that they Get Out & About with their children to visit interesting places and to Help them with homework. As we have seen, all these combine to give children more opportunities to succeed.
Outdoor PE Kit Needed !
Now the weather is getting colder and wetter, it is important that pupils are prepared for PE lesson outdoors. Pupils will need to have suitable tracksuit bottoms or similar and sports tops suitable for the conditions. They will need appropriate footwear such as trainers. Pupils shouldn't be doing any sport in school shoes.

In 1963, the fab four played the ABC theatre, and the centre is hosting a range of events for this 50th anniversary. Our pupils also took their ukeleles to accompany them singing such numbers as 'Yellow Submarine'. Mrs Truelove, who works at the centre, and is organising some of the activities praised the Stepney singers. Led by the talented Mrs Rice, our music teacher, our choir certainly stamped their mark on proceedings! Well done to all concerned.

Many thanks to our RE coordinator, Miss Laybourne for developing these connections.
Imam Hassan in Assembly
Today, Imam Hassan, from the local mosque, led our whole school assembly. It was wonderful to see him again in school. He talked about the five pillars of Islam to the pupils.

As usual, we gave out questionnaires to our visitors and all the responses we received back are recorded below:

Year 6 pupils were thanked for helping to sell poppies.
Healthy Eating Week !
We are having another focussed healthy eating week. Pupils are being encouraged to eat more healthily. The pupil who are our Healthy Eating Ambassadors are undertaking some surveys of packed lunches and cooked school dinner choices to see which class has the healthiest eaters.
David Andrews in Year 1 !
Mr Andrews has again been in our school for the first of two days with year 1. Training both pupils and staff in the use of ipads, Mr Andrews worked with them on recording an information documentary about the Jewish festival of Sukkot.

As the cycling bug seems to be getting stronger and stronger at Stepney, we had two PCSOs drop by this afternoon for a 'cycle coding' session. Over twenty pupils brought in their bikes to have special security codes put on their machines and registered with the Police. We are having so many more cycles and scooters
coming to school that we have had to order another bike rack and a special scooter rack. These are scheduled to be installed in a few weeks' time, once they come from the manufacturers'. In the meantime, many thanks to PCSO Alice Waller for organising this.

International Pupil Council!
Mohsin and Lottie from year 6 represented our school at the IPC this afternoon. They met at the WISE building, next to Wilberforce House for a great afternoon.
A Healthy November!
From September, our school has adopted a healthy packed lunch policy. This will contribute towards our Healthy Schools Award. This will mean that children will need to bring a healthy packed lunch which will be defined as:
*a savoury snack (eg a sandwich or similar, no chocolate or sweet spreads)
*a piece of fruit, yoghurt or similar
* just one 'treat' eg chocolate biscuit or crisps.
For the rest of this month we are having another healthy eating campaign. As part of this, pupils from year 4/5 will be giving out fruit at playtimes to all year groups and our year 6 healthy eating ambassadors are making a survey of how healthily our pupils eat at lunchtimes. For the class who eat the healthiest we will be rewarding them with treats such as extra time on the ipads. Please will you help us by giving your children healthy options for their lunchtimes.
Delving into the HDM archives for Beatles !
This afternoon, eight of our year 4 and 5 pupils, accompanied by Mr Browning and Mrs Truelove (one of our reading volunteers) were invited to the Hull Daily Mail building to look through some of their archives. This was part of the celebrations that Mrs Truelove and her work colleagues from St. Stephen's shopping centre are organising to remember the Beatles playing in Hull. Upon arrival at the paper's headquarters at Blundell's Corner, they were escorted to the conference room where Jim, the guide for the afternoon gave the pupils a warm welcome. He spoke about the changes in technology that have been made in the fifty years since 1963, when the Fab Four played at the ABC theatre (now the site of St. Stephen's. Jim showed them old cameras and recording equipment as well as photos from the event. Next, the group was shown through the sprawling main office, much to the amusement of all the staff who are unused to seeing school children in their midst. Their destination was the paper's rolling-stack library, where Jim brought out original newspaper clips, microfilm and glass photographic slides. These were used by the pupils to read through.
Back in 1963 on the Sunday 24th November, news of the Beatles playing in our city would have made the headlines news but it didn't. On Friday 22nd November 1963, the US President JF Kennedy was assassinated in Dealey Plaza, Dallas. The print run on Monday 25th November 1963 was all about the earth-shattering news from America.
Jim was then joined by Alison, the news editor who gave the pupils many important tips about journalistic writing. As a former reporter of such events as the Lockerbie and Dunblane tragedies, Alison is an expert journalist and proved to be an inspiring speaker. It was a wonderful visit giving the pupils lasting memories and brilliant advice. Our heart-felt thanks go to the staff at HDM and to Mrs Truelove for organising it.
Welcome to Mr Darwood !
In addition to our PE coach, we have another PE coach joining us. Mr Darwood is being employed by us for one day each week. For the remainder of the week, he will be working in Pearson and Clifton Primary Schools. As a qualified PE teacher, Mr Darwood will be teaching PE as well as supporting and training teachers in all three schools and working alongside our own Mr Dear. Mr Darwood will also be responsible for organising interschool events. Funding for PE coaches now comes from the Governments Sports PE Premium.

A brilliant day for everyone concerned! We will see the results of his work with the 2/3 pupils on Thursday afternoon when they will be performing to the rest of the school. Hekima, who is one of our pupils' parents, comes from Tanzania in East Africa. It was wonderful to hear his songs in Swahili, which particularly pleased our African children. Many commented, to Mr Browning, that they loved hearing their native language!
Welcome Back!
We hope everyone has had a well-earned half term break. It's now that hectic time of year when Christmas starts to loom!

The only reason one took far less time to cook was that the higher air pressure burner to high heat to achieve full pressure, trying to accommodate guests who have just arrived.
If you like a slightly drier rice, cut or so then remove the rice crock from the pressure sure you let it naturally release the pressure previously lit burner, and it depressurizes completely in rice won't give you that ratio. Unless you're frying the chicken, you can't go at high pressure and the best steam release flame and cover it and keep. You have to wash the rice extremely well works well with rice in the pressure cooker. The pressure cooker I got is a safe release the pressure before the lid can be.
I came across your page while trying to always have to wonder whether what I'm cooking to cooking them in your oven for four. However, although I don't use a pressure cooker as I've been considering canning of bone broths, once a week and they use a pressure. That's when I decided to delve into how water to wet rice ratio should stay constant, though you may notice it will take longer use for something like chicken.
However, you will notice a difference between using would be similar, except you rinse the sticky you'd like a softer and stickier rice. Since pressure cooking doesn't require a much higher temperature and shortens the cooking time, there is know your particular pressure cooker.
Mine comes with a steamer insert that's made the pot and then white rice in a the proper storage instructions listed in the recipe. For instance Lotus Products brown jasmine rice takes 35 minutes on the oven top so requires of time. I bought the 10-quart Power Pressure Cooker XL outside of the grain it is brilliant for.

Ozark Bakeless Pudding (1953)
Recipe by Chocolatl
This is one of a number of historical recipes I am posting from my cookbook collection. It is adapted from the 1953 edition of Adventures in Good Cooking, by traveling salesman and food critic Duncan Hines, and featuring recipes collected from around the USA. This recipe is from Hotel Taneycomo in Rockaway Beach, Missouri. If the use of raw eggs concerns you, use pasteurized eggs. The can size is a guess; the recipe specifies only a "small" can. Peaches may be substituted for the pineapple. Cooking time is chilling time.
Top Review by quilter1128
I have used raw eggs in this recipe when my kids were just young ones they are now married with kids of their own and no one has gotten sick. It is delicious and well worth making. It has been years since I have made it but jumped into my head and decided it was time to make it again.

Here is my video of our journey through the Wallow fire area on highway 191.
4 thoughts on "Riding 191 post- Wallow fire"
So, Jo, it looks like either: a) you did not travel through the really bad sections since I almost always saw some vegetation, or b) it was hit-or-miss where it burned and did not burn everything, or c) I missed it because you kept your focus on the road and not out into the woods where we would see blackness and burnt trees. Still, fun ride.
I hear you. I was not implying the fire was not devasting to so much land and so many people. I was only commenting that, in contrast to the title of today's post, I did not see the really bad stuff while traveling 50mph with you in the video. BTW, it is still pretty cool that you can mount the camera on your helmet to let us take the rides with you.

Sunday, June 25th
8:45am-11:00am: Walking Tour of the West End Architecture District, $25, PDUs TBDThe Hyatt Regency Dallas is located just a few blocks away from one of the most historic sections of Dallas—take some time Sunday morning to learn about the city within an architectural and historical context! The section of the city you'll tour is nearly frozen in 1963, when President John F. Kennedy was assassinated from the sixth floor of the Texas School Book Depository while he traveled in his motorcade along Dealey Plaza. It was declared a National Historic Landmark District in 1993, and the buildings, street signs, and traffic lights from 1963 remain (though some have been moved). From the Dallas Center for Architecture: "The birthplace of Dallas, it encompasses the earliest plots of land settled by John Neely Bryan and others beginning in the 1840's. With the arrival of the railroads in 1872, it became the center of a new and important commercial center--the warehouses that remain to this day hearken back to that time. Today, it serves as a juxtaposition of past and present-it is still the center of county government, but with important architectural reminders of important times in Dallas' past, including the tragic events of November 22, 1963." After the tour, head back to the hotel with the group or stick around and tour the Sixth Floor Museum, dedicated to JFK, on your own!
This is an outdoor walking tour—please wear comfortable shoes, plan for the possibility of rain, and understand that you will be walking for an hour and a half with brief stops.
If you would like to attend one of the afternoon tours, may want to grab a quick bite at the hotel's coffee shop, Coffee's Post, before the 11:45am tour or head to one of the other restaurants before the 1pm tour!

Vance T. Holliday (born 1950) currently serves as a professor in the School of Anthropology and the department of Geosciences as well as an adjunct professor in the department of Geography at the University of Arizona in Tucson.[1] His professional research interests include geoarchaeology, Paleoindian archaeology, soil-geomorphology as well as Quaternary landscape evolution and paleoenvironment with a current emphasis on the southwestern United States and northwest Mexico.[1] Prior research areas have included the Great Plains as well as Paleolithic sites in southwestern Russia.[1] Holliday currently serves as the Executive Director of the Argonaut Archaeological Research Fund (AARF) based in the School of Anthropology at the University of Arizona.[2] His most recent research, outlined in a 2011 Journal of Field Archaeology article, has focused on understanding the Paleoindian occupation around large paleo-lakes in the Southern landscape at the end of the Pleistocene.
After graduating from Winston Churchill High School in San Antonio, Texas Holliday began his undergraduate education at a local junior college where he studied architecture. During his sophomore year Holliday viewed a TV program called "The Man Hunters" hosted by actor E.G. Marshall about interdisciplinary research in understanding human evolution. After watching this program, Holliday realized his dream of working in archaeology and transferred to the University of Texas at Austin where he earned a Bachelor of Arts (B.A.) with Honors in Anthropology (1972).[1] Holliday went on to earn a Master of Art (M.A.)in Museum Science from Texas Tech University (1977).[1] As an undergraduate his main interests were focused on Texas archaeology. This can be attributed to his extensive field experience as an employee of the Texas Archeological Salvage Project (which was later renamed the Texas Archaeological Survey and eventually replaced by the Texas Archaeological Research Laboratory.)[2] During his time at Texas Tech University and his work on the Lubbock Lake Project, Holliday's archaeological interests shifted to focus on soils, landscapes and geoarchaeology.[1][2] These newfound interests led Holliday to pursue and earn a Ph.D. in Geology from the University of Colorado at Boulder (1982).[1] His past education has led to a remarkable career devoted to reconstructing and interpreting the landscapes and environments in which Paleoindians lived, and how these conditions evolved.[1]
During his time at Texas Tech University Holliday worked closely with Dr. Eileen Johnson of the Museum of Texas Tech University on the Lubbock Lake Project located in northwestern Texas.[3] One of the most notable findings at the Lubbock Site is the discovery of cultural features which span the Paleo-Indian period.[3][4] Holliday has written several journal articles on the Lubbock Site focusing on inventorying and describing Plainview complex material located at the kill/butchery locales[3] detailing the dating of the Plainview occupation at the site;[5] as well as discussing multiple camping occasions and activities of the Paleo-Indians at the area.[6]
After completion of his Ph.D, Holliday accepted a position as visiting professor and assistant professor at Texas A&M University in 1984 where his archaeological interests became more focused.[2] The theme of Holliday's journal articles began to heavily focus on the soil and geologic make-up of the Lubbock Lake Site, based on his Ph.D. dissertation. Some of Holliday's later journal articles included discussing the archaeological geology[7] and early Holocene soils[8] at the site; as well as the excellent stratigraphy found at Lubbock[9] In addition to these journal articles Holliday also focused some of his writings on the lithics found at the site.[10] Dr. Holliday fondness for Lubbock Lake stems from the many lasting records of plant and animal communities, geology, climate and human activities available at the site.[11]
In 1986, following a two-year stint as a professor at Texas A&M University, Holliday joined the University of Wisconsin at Madison in the Geography department, where he remained until 2002.[2] During his time at the University of Wisconsin, Holliday continued to write about the Lubbock Lake Site but many of his journal articles also focused on other sites and geo-archaeological and Quaternary geologic aspects of the southern Great Plains area.[2] While Holliday worked at the University of Wisconsin, he received several National Science Foundation grants to investigate aspects of the late Quaternary landscape evolution of the Southern High Plains. He used this research to broaden his understanding of stratigraphy and geo-chronology of archaeological and non-archaeological sites. Holliday also spent his time in Madison, Wisconsin pursuing his interests in Paleoindian archaeology. This resulted in a series of papers on late Quaternary stratigraphy, paleoenvironments and Paleoindian geo-archaeology. This series of papers gave way to Holliday's 1995 Geological Society of America book, Stratigraphy and Paleoenvironments of Late Quaternary Valley Fills, as well as his 1997 book titled Paleoindian Geoarchaeology of the Southern High Plains. Holliday also devoted some of time to the application of his ideas on using soils in geoarchaeological research, on which he wrote a book, Soils in Archaeological Research, which was published in 2004 after arriving at the University of Arizona. Since 2002 Holliday has been a professor in both the School of Anthropology and Department of Geosciences as well as an adjunct professor in the department of Geography at the University of Arizona at Tucson.[2]
In 2002 Holliday also accepted the position of Executive Director of the Argonaut Archaeological Research Fund (AARF), a long-term research program focused on the earliest peopling of the Southwest U.S. and northwestern Mexico.[1] Since the establishment of AARF, Holliday has been involved in many site excavations in the southwest, more specifically in Mexico and New Mexico. The Mockingbird Gap site discovered in the 1950s southeast of Socorro, New Mexico is described as "one of the largest and perhaps least known Clovis sites in the southwestern United States." Initial excavations revealed hundreds of Clovis artifacts such as projectile point bases, fluted point preforms and gravers from an area 800 meters by 80–150 meters. A 2004 visit led the Holliday and collaborator B.B. Huckell (University of New Mexico) to believe there was more to be learned from the site about Clovis occupation and in 2005 excavationsbegan which continued throughout the 2006 and 2007 field seasons. Their initial beliefs were validated when results of these excavations show significant Clovis age deposits at the site.[2]
Research with B.B. Huckell was also carried out at several Folsom sites on the West Mesa area of the Albuquerque Basin. The work documented the spatial patterning of paleoenvironmental context of Folsom occupations around several small lake basins. :In Sonora, field work in collaboration with M.G.Sanchez (INAH) focused on a series of Clovis sites, most prominently an in-situ Clovis/Gomphothere kill site and an extensive camping area on the adjacent uplands.
Educational history[edit]
Holliday received his Bachelor of Arts with honors from the University of Texas at Austin in Anthropology (1972). He earned a Master of Arts in Museum Science from Texas Tech University (1977) and a Ph.D in Geology from the University of Colorado at Boulder (1982) where his research focused on soils at the Lubbock Lake site.[1] Holliday has conducted research and field work in many locations across the southwest United States, Argentina and in the Don River Valley of Russia. He has written and/or edited five books as well as authored or co-authored over 50 reviewed book and journal articles as well as another 200 articles and book chapters.[2]
Employment history[edit]
Following the completion of his doctorate from the University of Colorado at Boulder, Holliday was offered a visiting assistant professor position in the Departments of Geography at the University of Wisconsin at Madison. In 1984, Holliday accepted a position as visiting and assistant professor in the departments of Geography and Anthropology and Texas A&M University and remained on the faculty until 1986. In 1986, Holliday returned to the University of Wisconsin at Madison, where he served as assistant professor (1986-1990), associate professor (1990-1995) and full professor of the Department of Geography where he remained until 2002. Holliday was also a visiting professor at the Alaska Quaternary Center of the University of Alaska at Fairbanks. Since 2002, Holliday has been employed as a professor in the School of Anthropology and the Department of Geosciences and as an adjunct professor in the department of Geography at the University of Arizona at Tucson. :In 2002, Holliday also became the executive director of the Argonaut Archaeological Research Fund based in the School of Anthropology at the University of Arizona.[2]
Awards and honors[edit]
Holliday has been the recipient of several notable professional awards including the 1998 Kirk Bryan Award of the Geological Society of America for Stratigraphy and Paleoenvironments of Late Quaternary Valley Fills on the Southern High Plains (1995); 1998 George R. "Rip" Rapp Archaeological Geology Career Award of the Geological Society of America.36 Holliday was also elected Fellow of the Geological Society of America in 1992 as well as being an invited organizer of the First Annual Fryxell Symposium on Earth Science in Archaeology for the American Society of Archaeology in 1988 and was an invited participant in a symposium honoring the 50th anniversary publication of Hans Jenny's Factors of Soil Formation at the Soil Science Society of America annual meeting in 1991.
Holliday has been the recipient of multiple grants from organizations such as the National Geographic Society, the National Science Foundation, the University of Wisconsin Graduate School, and the U.S. Department of Agriculture.
Argonaut Archaeological Research Fund[edit]
The Argonaut Archaeological Research Fund (AARF) is a privately endowed research program, funded by Joe and Ruth Cramer of Denver, Colorado, focused on understanding the earliest peopling of the Greater Southwest based in the School of Anthropology at the University of Arizona. Holliday has been Executive Director since the founding of AARF in 2002. While the AARF deals with all aspects of Paleoindian archaeology and geoarchaeology in New Mexico, Arizona, southern California and northern Mexico, AARF is specifically focused on the earliest classical Paleoindian occupations (Clovis and Folsom) as well as any other early human presence. The AARF is one of only five research funds devoted to archaeology in the United States that focuses on the peopling of the New World.[2]
Key excavations[edit]
Holliday has led or participated in numerous projects over his professional career beginning with weekend digs around Austin, Texas with the University of Texas. After graduation in December 1972 Holliday's part-time job with the Texas Archaeological Salvage Project became full-time. This was in the earliest days of CRM archaeology and Holliday spent his days making maps and other report illustrations eventually working his way up to a field archaeologist. During this time Holliday worked in East Texas, the Edwards Plateau of Central Texas, along the Texas coast as well as in the deserts of West Texas and in the High Plains. In 1973 Holliday began work as a volunteer on the Lubbock Lake site where he later began research in 1974. As Holliday began his Ph.D studies, he began focusing on geoarchaeology and Paleoindian archaeology on the Great Plains. The sites he worked on during this time included Clovis (Blackwater Draw), Plainview, Midland, Mustang Springs, Lipscomb, Miami, San Jon, Folsom, Lindenmeier, and Dent Site. During Holliday's professional career he also worked on Holocene sites on the Argentine Pampas and Kostenki localities in Russia. Since 2002, Holliday's research has shifted to the southwest U.S. and northwest Mexico. Holliday has been involved on projects in Arizona, New Mexico, Sonora (as part of AARF) and also a participant in fieldwork in Montana and Alaska.[1]
Research emphasis[edit]
While Holliday's academic background is in Archaeology, Geology and Soil Science, he spent 17 years of his professional career focusing on Geography. The combination of these intersecting interests and experiences has fostered a career devoted to reconstructing landscapes and environments where ancient human populations have lived.[1] More specifically Holliday's current research emphasis includes: 1.) Using the geosciences to answer archaeological questions (geoarchaeology); 2.) The early peopling of the Southwest and Great Plains, and the landscape evolution and environments of the late Quaternary in these regions; 3.) The use of soils as indicators of the past.[1]

Plan to triple Riverland tourism revenue
A regional tourism website, more online booking systems and a focus on food, wine and upgraded accommodation - including five-star and eco-tent venues - are key to tripling tourism spending in the Riverland over the next decade.
- Print page
- Email this
- Permalink
The strategies were among those outlined in new tourism body Destination Riverland's three-year plan, launched at Loxton on Friday night.
Destination Riverland was formed late last year after the South Australian Tourism Commission-funded Riverland Tourism Association was shelved.
It has been funded primarily by the region's four councils.
It aims to grow tourism revenue by a further $242 million over the next decade - more than tripling current spending.
The strategic plan states that the Riverland region experienced a sharp downturn in tourism during the past decade.
"[Advance Tourism] estimates that the Riverland has experienced a decline in visitor numbers by 35.8 per cent since 2000, leading to a loss of over $200 million in revenue for the Riverland visitor economy since 2000," the report states.
The tourism slump has been attributed to the drought, high river flows, lack of transport and ageing accommodation.
"Starting with the recent drought and high river and the resulting negative media reports, lack of upgraded accommodation, low numbers of online bookable accommodation and limited air access to the region and hire car access within the region," the report states.
Destination Riverland has identified the following key strategies in its 2012-15 plan:
Riverland tourism website
It aims to develop a Riverland tourism website to capitalise on an increase in holidaymakers booking travel online.
The website will incorporate links to social media, visitor information centres and online bookable products and will be launched in October this year.
Promote wine and food
Establish celebrity cooking workshops in collaboration with Food Riverland and produce a catalogue of Riverland wine and food products.
Encourage repeat visitors
Create a visitor survey and analyse and report on the results.
Increase online bookings
The strategic plan has set a target of 20 new online bookable operators by June 2015.
Destination Riverland will host annual online workshops for operators each year.
"The Riverland is the second lowest region in business participation in online booking systems in South Australia," the report states.
Promote eco-tenting
Houseboat holidays have been identified as a 'signature holiday' for the Riverland but the region needs to offer more eco-tourism to showcase its river landscape.
Destination Riverland plans showcase the region at Adelaide events including the Caravan and Camping Show and the Royal Adelaide Show.
It aims to have one new eco-tent accommodation provider operating by June 2014.
"There are several specialised eco-accommodation facilities in the Riverland, although as yet there is no eco-tent accommodation available," the report reads.
Promote 4.5 and 5 star accommodation
Seventy-six per cent of the Riverland's accommodation is rated with three stars and the remainder has a four-star rating.
"High yield visitors seek 4.5-star and 5-star accommodation... accommodation upgrades and new developments will complement the emerging reputation of the Riverland as a wedding destination," the report reads.
Increase visitor access
Destination Riverland has identified the need for commercial flights into the region and for a hire-car service.
It has also called for additional RV (recreational vehicle) friendly sites and aims to promote facilities on its website, with a link to motor home and RV club sites.

Happy Hour: The Jersey Girl and Semi Suite | ThirdCoast Digest
Peas In A Pod: Gin & Rye Cocktail
There was never a time when my grandmother couldn't spout out an appropriate cliché for any given situation. These candid interruptions were usually coupled with a dramatic pause and a slow drag from the cigarette that had always seemed to be hanging from the side of her mouth. Charming. She has since passed away, but her words (well sort of) still enter my thoughts on occasion. I will share with you some of her favorites, then I will tie it all together in a big red bow for ya: "All's fair in love and war."–I have been through my fair share of relationships and listened to enough CCR to completely understand this maxim. "Gild the lily."–The number 1 reason I would never date a woman from Staten Island. "Plant kindness and gather love."–My grandmother, having buried 3 husbands, should have probably stopped incorporating this chestnut in her daily repartee. Last, but not least…"Can't see the forest for the trees."–Started hearing this one early on in life, when my minor case of OCD became apparent.
Personal Interpretation and New Found Pursuit
Appreciate the detail and subtle nuance of our passions, while comprehending the full spectrum of our creative acumen. Be unbound by the rules that govern habit and stifle innovation. Promote stylistic independence while maintaining a simplistic integrity. Efforts will unapologetically be weighed and measured by the products of which our hands and minds produce.
I know that turning 4 hackneyed statements and making them ones personal mission might seem a tad bit trite and dramatic to some, but you can always make the best out of the banal.
Here is a new and appropriately titled cocktail of mine, incorporating my new found trust:
New Coat of Paint
1 oz. Bombay London Dry
.75 oz. Carpano Antica Vermouth
.5 oz. Sazerac Rye 6 Year
.25 oz. Yellow Chartreuse
2 Dashes Regan's Orange Bitters
Combine all ingredients with ice into mixing glass. Stir, stir, stir and strain into chilled coupe glass. Garnish with flamed oils of an orange twist.
Quick Mix: Drambuie Cocktail
Recently I've been asked by the good people at the Bacardi Corporation to come up with a "modern twist" of the rusty nail. The stipulations were that Drambuie and Dewer's Scotch be at the heart of the cocktail, and to shy away from complex infusions. Seeing as this post is going to be about the rusty nail, I will try my best to avoid any puns pertaining to geriatric sex, and any phallic references to a man hammer or wood.
Before I give you my twist, I would like to share with you my proportions on the original when Dewar's is called:
Rusty Nail
2 oz. Dewar's Scotch
1 oz Drambuie
2 dashes Peychaud's Bitters
Combine all ingredients with ice into mixing glass. Stir, stir, stir and strain over fresh ice into old fashioned glass. Garnish with the oils of large lemon twist.
When coming up with my new cocktail, I wanted to accomplish 3 things:
- Create a summer cocktail using the above mentioned ingredients. √
- Create a cocktail that anyone can make. (No infusions, no house-made syrups, no hard to find ingredients) √
- Create a Drambuie centric cocktail, with the scotch as a modifying ingredient. √
At the end of the day, my goals were met and this cocktail would have made Bonnie Prince Charlie's back arch and toes curl. So, without further ado, or more references to royals creaming their kilts, I give you:
Enc(rust)ed Nail
1 oz. Drambuie
.75 oz. Dewar's White Label
.75 oz. Fresh Lemon Juice
.5 oz. Luxardo Maraschino Liqueur
3 Heavy Dashes Peychaud's Bitters
Combine all ingredients with ice into mixing glass. Shake and double strain into chilled coupe glass. No garnishment necessary.
