Sparking young people's interest is a crucial part of creating a deeper understanding of Victorian Aboriginal Language revival in the broader community. On February 23, Mandy presented a workshop to Year 9 students at Mount Scopus Memorial College in Burwood with a focus on language and culture. She explained her Woiwurrung language revival story which generated a lot of questions in relation to Aboriginal language and identity from the students. At the end of the workshop, Mandy taught the students how to sing "heads-shoulders-knees-and-toes" in the Woiwurrung language.
Ittay Flescher, Community Service and Achshav Coordinator at Mount Scopus Memorial College, had attended a VACL event at the State Library of Victoria and was keen to invite VACL to present a cultural program at their school. He described Mandy's presentation as exceptional due to her "breadth of technical knowledge of the history and related issues, as well as her ability to relay their symbolic cultural significance to the students." Ittay added that Mandy presented a very difficult history with both honesty and sensitivity, being inclusive and not alienating the audience of students.
Mandy was interested in hearing about the history of Hebrew language revival and the parallels with Victorian Aboriginal languages. Students at Mount Scopus Memorial College were appreciative of this opportunity to discuss language revival with Mandy. Drawing these parallels and discussing difficult history has a positive impact on young peoples' cross-cultural awareness and understanding.

The Shearwaters are celebrated as symbols of local and global interconnectedness. This year, the Shearwater Festival focussed on 'Connecting to Country' providing opportunities to learn about Aboriginal culture and the environment and to develop a deeper understanding of place. The festival took place on 25, 26 and 27 of November in various locations across Phillip Island.
There was motion on the ocean Friday night but for those who braved the cold wind and swell it was an inspiring excursion as the festival began with a boat trip around Cape Woolamai to see thousands of Shearwaters at sunset getting ready to fly back to their rookeries with the days the catch.
A packed program of non-stop quality musicians took to the stage for Saturday's concert on Churchill Island, including the award winning Kutcha Edwards who recently received the Melbourne Prize for Music which is awarded to a Victorian musician whose work has made an outstanding contribution to Australian music and has enriched cultural and public life. Kutcha also took time to share stories and speak with local community in the yarning circle.
Sunday saw the introduction of new events to this year's festival including the Cape Woolamai Fun Run which aims to get the community out and see the habitat of the Shearwaters and to encourage healthy life styles and learning about nature. The street parade, workshops, smoking ceremony, presentations and a twilight walk also took place on Sunday.
Preceding the Festival was the Shearwater Education Program which is facilitated in local schools and includes visits from artists, musicians, environmentalists and Community Elders and Respected Peoples. Linked to the Festival and the Education Program is the Cross-Cultural Message Exchange, in which artworks and messages are shared between artists, children and Indigenous Elders around the world.

Last week VACL hosted a language networking event Dhumba-djerring (talk together, from the Boonwurrung language) in Fitzroy. Language workers from across Victoria gathered over two days to participate in workshops and discussions and to share their experiences of awakening language in their communities and schools. It was positive to see young people and some new faces at this event as more and more people gain confidence and interest in our languages. Among the presentations were Brendan Kennedy's lesson on morphology, Aunty Doris Paton speaking about policies and strategies which have shaped the teaching of language in schools, Harley-Dunolly-Lee sharing his experiences of working with the Dja Dja Wurrung on sounds and spellings, Kris Eira on the issues and considerations when creating community dictionaries and Jenny Gibson who introduced the group to VACL's presence on Victorian Collections online. On the Thursday evening Paul Paton, Mandy Nicholson and Joel Wright took part in a panel discussion with Gregory Phillips to a packed audience at the Wheeler Centre.

The Boon Wurrung word for the short-tailed shearwater is Biyadin. The bird is also known as Yolla, Muttonbird, Moonbird and Ardenna Tenuirostris. The shearwaters have deep cultural significance for the Boon Wurrung people, having brought the community together for thousands of years for feasts, gatherings and ceremonies, on what is now called Phillip Island.
The fourth Shearwater Festival was held on November 21st & 22nd, an annual creative, cultural and environmental event which brings Indigenous and non-Indigenous community members together to celebrate the return of the short-tailed shearwaters from their 15,000 kilometre migration. The shearwaters are celebrated as symbols of local and global interconnectedness.
This year's festival included a street parade, workshops, performances and guided walks and talks to the shearwater rookeries. The festival warmly welcomed members of refugee communities who now live in Australia, featuring a special concert 'Womin djeka Africa' (Welcome Africa) in which African and Indigenous performers collaborated in performance, art, music and song.
Preceding the festival is the Shearwater Education Program which is facilitated in local schools and includes visits from artists, musicians, environmentalists and Indigenous Elders. Linked to the festival and education program is the Cross-Cultural Message Exchange, in which artworks and messages are shared between artists, children and Indigenous Elders around the world. This year's festival featured Indigenous artists and community leaders from First Nations in Canada and the USA.

Introduced at the Puliima National Indigneous Language and Technology Forum 2015, the Victorian Aboriginal Corporation for Languages has produced this series of factsheets to support communities working to revive their languages. These factsheets reflect what we learned from the Meeting Point Project, which was run between 2008 and 2014. In that project, we focussed on the ways revival languages are being brought back into communities by Elders, language workers and language activists. All the fact sheets are about these newly living languages, brought from the past into the present and future. We are grateful to the people who have agreed to share examples of their languages with you in this way. We especially thank our case study language programs: Wiradjuri (Parkes program), Butchulla (Hervey Bay), Keerray Woorroong (Warrnambool), Wathaurong (Geelong program), Gumbaynggirr (Nambucca Heads) and Gunai/Kurnai (Gippsland).
There are four different types of factsheets. Each one focuses on just one topic for language revival.
Methods: How people do the work (includes workshops)
Practice: Ideas for using language (includes workshops)
Principles: What's it all for? (includes ideas for discussion)
Pathways: Language journeys (includes ideas for discussion)

This week at Federation Square, Save the Children hosted a variety of workshops to highlight some the difficult situations faced by children all around the world, including sanitation, war and conflict and inadequate school facilities. VACL staff Aunty Fay Stewart-Muir and Mandy Nicholson teamed up with Save the Children to highlight some of the barriers faced by children when it comes to education.
In this workshop, students stepped into a classroom taught by a teacher who was speaking a language they didn't understand, in this case either Woi Wurrung or Boon Wurrung, and asked if they had any idea what was going on. This prompted the kids to contemplate many questions, including - do you think if you came to school everyday, and you couldn't understand what the teacher was saying, would you want to go to school? Would you feel confused? How can this problem be solved? What could make it easier?
This lesson was one well learned by the children who were really responsive to the exercise offering insightful and thoughtful responses to these challenges.
These issues are universal and relate to children overseas, children coming to Australia and Indigenous children in Australia whose 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th language is English.
Congratulations to Save the Children staff and volunteers, teachers and children from a variety of Primary and Secondary schools across Melbourne, VACL staff Mandy and Aunty Fay, and all others involved, for a very worthwhile event.
Countdown to Shearwater Festival
Shearwater Festival 2014, November 22 and 23 November, Phillip Island
The shearwater birds have arrived back from on Phillip Island after their 15,000 kilometres migration from the Bering Sea near Alaska. Phillip Island's third Shearwater Festival is gearing up to welcome them home and celebrate their safe return. The Shearwater Festival is a creative, cultural and environmental initiative which brings communities together to celebrate the migration of the short-tailed shearwaters.
This year's Shearwater Festival will be held on Saturday 22nd and Sunday 23rd November, with an Education Program in local schools preceding it. The Shearwater Festival involves school children, creative artists, musicians, Indigenous Elders, community members and visitors. The short-tailed shearwaters are celebrated as symbols of creative, cultural and environmental interconnectedness.
A Shearwater Hub has been established at Phillip Island Community and Learning Centre (PICAL) in Cowes. Over the next six weeks, Annie Edney, the Artist-in-Residence for the Shearwater Festival will be making a large nest and a giant shearwater, 'Mama Moonbird' who will be leading the Street Parade down Thompson Ave in Cowes at 11.00am on Saturday 22nd November. Mama Moonbird will be accompanied by lanterns and puppets and made by local school children, artists and community members.
Annie Edney is a well-known artist and facilitator of community events who used to live on Phillip Island. Annie was involved in designing Festivals and Street Parades on the Island twenty years ago.
In the weeks leading up to the Festival, Annie has an Open Studio every Monday at PICAL from 11.00am to 1.00pm at the Shearwater Hub (Room 2 in the Garden House, 56-58 Church St, Cowes). Community members are welcome to pop in and see Annie at work and learn how to make a bamboo lantern or puppet themselves.
PICAL is having an Open Day on Sunday 2nd November from 10am – 2.00pm. The Shearwater Hub will be open for visitors that day as well. The Shearwater Festival Working Group is delighted to have the Shearwater Hub located in the heart of the vibrant community activities at PICAL.
The two-day Shearwater Festival begins on Saturday morning 22nd November with a colourful Street Parade along Thompson Avenue in Cowes and will feature Mama Moon Bird, sea creature puppets made and carried by local school children, music and dance and the Bass Coast Boogie Band.
The Street Parade will make its way down Thompson Avenue to the Cowes Foreshore where a group of Indigenous dancers and local Indigenous school children will perform a dance choreographed especially for the event. Senior Boon Wurrung Elder Aunty Carolyn Briggs will officially welcome people to Boon Wurrung Country with a smoking ceremony.
On Saturday afternoon there will be creative and cultural workshops and performances at the Cowes Cultural Centre. These include singing, dancing and drumming workshops, Indigenous story-telling and an opportunity to learn to play the gumleaf with well-known Aboriginal Elder, Uncle Herb Patten. A participative ritual and performance completes the day.
In the early evening, Graeme Burgan, Senior Education Ranger at the Phillip Island Nature Park, will conduct an environmental talk on the latest research on the shearwater birds at the Cape Woolamai Surf Life Saving Club. He will also lead dusk and dawn walks at Cape Woolamai to see the shearwaters return at dusk and take off at dawn from their rookeries.
The Sunday Concert at the Cowes Cultural Centre on Sunday 23rd November will feature high profile Indigenous musicians Archie Roach, Kutcha Edwards and Yirrmal and the Yolngu Boys as well as members of the Deep Listening Band and Friends, Steve Sedergreen, Mike Jordan, Ron Murray, Rob Bundle, Marcia Howard and Rose Bygrave.

Club News
Wardle excited by Sven appointment
John Wardle 0708
John Wardle has spoken about the bright future that he sees ahead for Manchester City.
Mr Wardle was the Club's Chairman for four years, but with the offer for the Club from UK Sports Investments having become unconditional on Friday he was replaced by Dr Thaksin Shinawatra.
Speaking at the press conference on Friday where Sven-Goran Eriksson was unveiled as the new City manager, Mr Wardle said:
"I'm pleased now to drop to deputy Chairman and get some of that responsibility off my shoulders. Dr Thaksin is now Chairman and we spoke to him today, unfortunately he's not here, he's away on business but will probably be around next week. He's absolutely delighted that the deal has gone through, he's spoken with Sven and is in contact with us all the time, and he will now be calling the shots.
When asked if it was a sad day for him, Mr Wardle replied:
"No, I think it's a very happy day, because I can see what's coming and the future. We'd got to a stage where, I do believe, we'd taken Manchester City as far as we possibly could. Along with Alistair Mackintosh of course, we had stabilised the Football Club from a financial point of view, but we needed that extra to do what Dr Thaksin's going to do by bringing in a top class manager and hopefully world class players will be following.
"So I'm very pleased and am looking forward like everyone to the future of this Football Club and watching them go up and up."

New clicking noise from steering wheel
New clicking noise from steering wheel
I assure you this is not a smart a$$ answer but it could be your turn signal.
My previous GM SUV had the same clicking sound and it was some relay related to the turn signal. If I remember correctly, the clicking happened even if I did not use the turn signal. I believe it had something to do with the mechanism that clears the signal when the steering wheel returns back to 15 degrees or less, or whatever the setting was. I never did fix it since that vehicle was so noisy anyway.
I have over 10000 miles on my P85. It has had the steering clicking sound from day1. I have taken it to SC several times to no avail. I don't hink they know to fix it.
I asked service and they said there is a fix for it.
It's a quick fix... they need to put a shim on the steering box and re-torque the bolts.
I have 12K miles. Mine starting clicking last week. Its every time I pull out of the garage or into a tight parking space. I have my 12.5K routine inspection on friday in Atlanta. Will let you know if they can fix it.
Mine has been clicking since about 1,000 miles. Now at 3,000. Service said there IS a fix and it is quick - it's just that getting in for service takes about a month (no joke) in Rockville, MD.
Had 12.5K mile service. explained clicking noise in steering wheel. its fixed. here is a copy of the repair order:
Correction: Add Shim to Steering Mount Bolt and Retorque Subframe Bolts
Have an additional 500 miles since repair and the sound seems to be resolved. Atlanta service center
When it started for us, I called the service center (MA) and they said, "Ah! The famous steering click problem! Bring it in - quick fix."
In our case, they didn't even put the shim in, because it hadn't loosened much - they just tightened the bolts that were a little loose. (These loose bolts are not a safety issue, we were assured - so people who have the click, don't worry.) Fixed it, but now I hear the very slightest little noise again when I turn hard. No big deal. If it gets worse I'll take it in and request the shim.
What I don't get is why these common problems aren't well-socialized among the various service centers. That seems like a problem.
I too had the clicking noise when I turned the steering wheel hard to the right or left. A service ranger came to my house and installed shims which took care of the noise.
I have the same clicking noise on turns - very loud and embarrassing. I have 21" tires, the sound started when I took it in to service for interior rattling sounds. The tech said he adjusted the steering to silence one of the sounds. Well, after that on hard cut turns usually backing out of parking or slow hard turns - pop, pop, pop!
Took in in 3x now to service. They shimmed it, they tightened it, and now they are saying its cause my tires are worn. I know enough about cars to know that it is the geometry of the turn not the tires - but I will play ball. I ordered 4 new tires (which don't come cheap) and I will then have to prove my point that the popping will still takes place.
I believe it is a defective build in the steering and it is amplified by the 21" tire. It could possibly be a weak point in the steering, I have had 3 bent rims so far from potholes, so if the aluminum is that weak it could be bending a tie rod or another aluminum piece. I bet those with the 19" are the ones with the faint sounds. I believet this is either a very expensive permanent fix for tesla or due to the build of the frame and steering components possibly something they cannot fix without a redesign.
I remain hopeful that this will be resolved but a car with this price tag and less than a year old should be a quiet and sound vehicle.
I would love to hear how this was resolved by someone with 21" tires.

I am a married mother of 3 girls who is currently going through health treatment at a Perth hospital a few times a month. I use the villa in Mt Lawley as my abode when having treatment and return to my family in Pinjarra the rest of the time. I like the villa as it is in a quiet location and a short walk to the bus which gets me straight to the hospital in the city. My children often stay with me on a weekend if we are attending shows in the city. We all love walking to, and experiencing, the huge variety of restaurants on Beaufort street. We can often spend hours in Planet Books, languages, travel, health and of course kids books are all favorites.
It is like having the best of both worlds with our family home in the country and our city pad in Mt Lawley.
My husband works as a full time fireman when he is not busy looking after us girls!
He is also a very skilled carpenter and has renovated the lovely Church in Kalgoorlie into a stunning property.
The Church was our first home together and we have not been able to part with it yet. We both have family in Kalgoorlie so we travel there a few times a year.

North Yorkshire Brewery Up For Two Awards
9:43am 21st March 2013
The Wold Top Brewery, the Hunmanby microbrewery has been shortlisted for two Red Ribbon Awards for family businesses.
Hosted by Family Business Place, the Red Ribbon awards are the UK's only national awards that recognise the achievements of family-run companies of all sizes and across all sectors.
Wold Top Brewery has been shortlisted in two awards categories; 'Tomorrow's Brand' and 'Innovation' and face stiff competition from other family businesses including Doc Martens, Fudges Biscuits and The Cambridge Satchel Company.
Of the success, Kate Mellor, a fourth generation family member, said; "It's the first time that we have entered these awards and we're delighted to have been shortlisted in not one, but two categories. To be competing against big brands like Doc Martens is both amazing and scary, but at the end of the day, we're both family run businesses and face similar challenges, albeit on a different scale."
Anita Brightley-Hodges, Managing Director of Family Business Place says,
"We were spoilt for choice with this year's nominations. From the hundreds who entered, we believe we've shortlisted six family businesses that all truly deserve to win each category.
"It's no secret that family-run businesses are the backbone of the UK economy. In times of uncertainty they are the last ones to make redundancies, keep a long-term view for the business and stay true to their founding values of integrity, trust and loyalty.
"At Family Business Place we are honoured to present the Red Ribbon Awards to some of the best the sector has to offer and look forward to welcoming some of the UK's most loved family business names as well as small, undiscovered gems and announcing the winners in London on 5th July."
The winners will be announced at the 2013 Red Ribbon Awards Ceremony at the Lancaster London Hotel where finalists and their guests will enjoy a 3-course meal, live entertainment and a Charity Auction to raise money for Help for Heroes (supporting wounded servicemen and women) and Fields of Life (providing water, education and healthcare to families in East Africa).

Chapter 19
Chris meets Allara in an enormous room behind the waterfall. There, she and Quinnon try to rekindle the guardsman's instincts his body possessed before he crossed the worlds. He does far better than first feared, even beating Allara, but he's no match for Quinnon. Letting his body's instincts fight and releasing his impulse to think is far trickier than it sounds. After the sword lesson, Allara has much, much more planned to train him to greet the world as the Gifted. When Allara finds out that Mactalde has a man out to kill him in Chicago, she says that he must stay alive. To be the Gifted, he must live in both worlds.
Reader Comments: I love how perceptive Chris is. Despite Allara's attempts to conceal her inner torments, Chris is observant enough to realize that her anger and coldness are merely masks for her inner terror. I also love that, at the end of this chapter, she gives the barest beginnings of respect to him. For the first time, she calls him Master Redston.
Writer Comments: There is a concept in fiction called a Mary Sue. The Mary Sue is a character, usually the hero, who is exceptional at everything. He excels at all tasks the first time. Nothing can stop him. No one can beat him. His flaws aren't really flaws, assuming he has any at all. This character may be wish fulfillment, but he's also boring to read. Chris Redston is not a Mary Sue. Instead of instantly excelling at swordplay, he struggles. Oh, sure, he has notable skill, but Weiland gives him a reason for it. He can let his warriors instincts take over, but it is difficult. Further, whenever he slips into them, he almost immediately slips back out. This leaves doubt in the reader's mind. Will he get this in time to save his life and the worlds? Further, Chris has few answers to the catastrophic problems facing them. There is, in fact, a real possibility of disaster.
Chapter 20
Chris wakes in Chicago and goes to visit Harrison Garnett, who managed to survive getting shot, in ICU. As Allara has no answer and the Garowai isn't giving precise advice, he figures the previous Gifted is his best chance at sorting out the mess he created. However, going out means the man Mactalde hired to kill him might have a good chance of succeeding. Cautiously, Chris goes to the hospital and sneaks past a man near Harrison's room who also works for Mactalde. Harrison is none too pleased to see him and provides little information: Mactalde managed to find a way to speak to himself in his dreams, which allowed his self in our world to know about Lael and the dream world. By bringing Mactalde across, Chris set the worlds on a course to an apocalypse. And lastly, Harrison never intended to bring Mactalde across. He only told him he would and figured, once Mactalde was dead in the dream world, he couldn't make Harrison bring him anywhere.
Reader Comments: Harrison is a piece of work. I feel bad for Allara that she had to put up with him at all. I'm relieved he hadn't actually intended to bring Mactalde across, but at the same time, saying he would, then intending to back out only solidifies his traitorous character.
Writer Comments: Objection can become symbolic in fiction. In this chapter, during the argument/discussion between Harrison and Chris, they also fight over the remote that summons the nurse. The remote and the nurse call button represent power in the scene. When the call button is on, Harrison has the power. When it's off, even when a nurse is in the room, Chris exerts power.
In the previous chapter, Weiland did this somewhat through the sword fight between Allara and Chris. Allara first gives a blade to Chris, symbolically granting him some measure of power, but since she granted it, she does not fully yield to him true authority. Only after Chris declares that he will take responsibility for his mistakes and righting the worlds does he begin to really win with her, culminating in his disarming her, thus fully declaring his authority and that hers will submit to him. Allara does not officially yield. She isn't ready for that, but she does grant Chris something precious instead: a small measure of respect.
Chapter 21
Orias, Pitch, and Raz follow Mactalde and his men back to Koraud. Orias has little idea what he's doing, but perhaps he might kill Mactalde and set his betrayal right. Only, that would make his efforts to save the Cherazii useless. The Koraudians capture him and take him to Mactalde, who mocks him with a toast and praise. There, Orias realizes his true reason for stalking the resurrected man: to ensure that the bargain he made with Rotoss for the lives of all Cherazii will be kept. Mactalde agrees to uphold Rotoss and his bargain on one condition: Orias must remain with Mactalde and fight at his side. Despite Pitch and Raz's protests, Orias agrees. After all, no matter how he is damned for it, he must save his people.
Reader Comments: I enjoy reading Orias because he's fascinating and complex. I do hope, though, that he does something heroic and redemptive before the end of the story. However, I suppose Weiland might also make him a tragic thread instead.
Further, I particularly loved Pitch whispering to Orias in this chapter, "I forgive you." It gives me license as a reader to forgive him too, even if I want him to redeem himself at once.
Writer Comments: Often, an author finds it useful to speak through minor characters to secondary and main characters. This same technique can also be used to give messages, overt and subtle, to readers. Especially since readers are not experts in her world, Weiland uses Pitch and Raz like mouthpieces of Orias's beaten conscience and for we readers to better grasp the enormously foolish decisions Orias makes. She gives Pitch and Raz humor and personality, which keeps them from feeling merely like mouthpieces, yet they fulfill the function nonetheless. Mouthpieces can be useful, but handle them with care. They must be as developed as any other character and serve more functions than simply acting as the author's voice. In fact, they should start as characters in their own right. Only after can they be conveniently used to pass on information.
Thank you for joining me today for this section of Dreamlander by K.M. Weiland. Next Monday, we'll resume this book, but until then, be sure to swing back by on Friday when Jessi Gage, author of Wishing for a Highlander and Road Rage, will share insights in the use of amnesia in fiction.

Single-game tickets go on sale Saturday
Single-game tickets go on sale Saturday
Single-game tickets for the entire 2012 home schedule, including the April 5 showdown with the new-look Boston Red Sox, go on sale Saturday at 10 a.m. ET. As in past years, they'll be available online at tigers.com, in person at the Comerica Park box office and by phone at 866-66-TIGER. For the first time, tickets will also be available in person at the Hockeytown Authentics shop in Troy, Mich.
It's an annual event for fans, and the Tigers are again going to allow those who want to be first in line at Comerica Park to reserve a spot Friday. The team has doubled the number of wristbands handed out to fans to 1,000, beginning Friday at 3 p.m.
A random number drawn Saturday morning will then serve as the starting point for fans to line up Saturday around 8:30 a.m. -- from the selected number through 1,000, then from one on up, followed by fans who arrive after 8:45 a.m. All fans with wristbands must be lined up by 9:30 a.m.
A wristband doesn't guarantee tickets will be available for a desired game, Opening Day or otherwise, but it gives them a better chance. The Tigers are encouraging fans, even those who decide to wait in line and get a wristband, to check the online schedule ahead of time to prioritize which games they want to attend.

I'm joining Claire from Claire's Healthy Home on her Clean Eating for Beginners journey!
I would say we're about a C when it comes to our eating habits at my house right now. Ben gets an A+ because I only feed him veggies, fruit and simple starches but Nick and I could definitely do better! We don't eat fast food all that often but we get pretty lazy sometimes and opt for pre-made, packages meals and sauces a lot instead of making our own. I'd love to work on changing that!
Claire started a Facebook group called Healthy Mama, Happy Life where things are really getting going. We'd love for you to join us! Check out her blog too, where she'll be giving us lots of awesome tips, recipes and more!

Field Hockey Records Two Victories, Improve to 7-1
- Details
- Category: Volume 88 (Fall 2016) and Volume 89 (Spring 2017)
- Published: 21 September 2016
- Written by CHRIS FITZSIMMONS | CONTRIBUTING WRITER
The Monmouth University field hockey team has had a successful start to the 2016 season. They currently stand atop the MAAC with a 7-1 record after coming away with victories against Saint Joseph's and Temple over the last week.
It was Hawks vs. Hawks on Friday, Sept. 16 as the Monmouth University Hawks took on the Saint Joseph's Hawks at "So Sweet A Cat" Field. MU's defense was on full display as they were able to record their fourth shutout of the season by a score of 3-0.
"It was a great victory against a very talented Saint Joseph's team," Carli Figlio said. "One of the biggest focuses was protecting the middle of the field and having our recovery runs back to the middle because they are very good in moving the ball. Another focus was being able to finish in live play and finishing on the cage. I think we did a good job in both of those areas."
Monmouth scored in the middle of the first half in this defensive battle when sophomore forward Kelly Hanna scored her first career goal off a rebound. The goal was clearly a game changer. According to Hanna, the goal was key to "getting some momentum building for us."
From there, the Monmouth Hawks went into halftime with a 1-0 lead in a closely matched game.
MU came out of the intermission strong and - within two minutes - junior midfielder Rachel Konowal buried a one timer off a crossing pass from junior forward Meg Donahue. This was Konowal's second goal of the season and it came at a crucial time in the game.
From there, senior midfielder Alyssa Ercolino, who claimed a MAAC weekly award last week (along with teammate junior defender Julie Laszlo), capped off the scoring with her seventh goal of the season.
The blue and white did a good job at limited the scoring chances of Saint Josephs. Saint Joseph's Anna Willocks entered the game as the nation's leader in goals per game and was not even able to get a shot off due to Monmouth's stifling defense.
"She is excellent and we needed to be aware of her," Monmouth Head Coach Carli Figlio said about Saint Joseph's star player.
Junior goalie Christen Piersanti also shined in the win, racking up her fourth shutout of the season. She was tested on a pivotal penalty stroke attempt in the 61st minute that deflated Saint Joseph's attempt at mounting a comeback. Piersanti said, "I was able to act confident about the situation and trust my ability."
Piersanti added that she was "able to take away some of the net" and "put the pressure" on her opponent. Her strategy unmistakably worked and she made the critical save to secure a Monmouth victory.
MU wrapped up the weekend with a Sunday victory at Temple, where they defeated the Owls 3-2 on a penalty stroke goal to improve their record to 7-1.
All five goals were scored in the second half after the two teams went into halftime scoreless. But Laszlo scored the game's first goal 2:12 into the second half, the first of four goals over a ten-minute span.
Temple's Rachael Mueller scored less than a minute later to tie the game at one, but the Hawks struck back when Donahue scored at the 41:36 mark, putting the blue and white back on top.
Temple responded and tied the game again five minutes later, but Donahue, who become the eighth Hawk in program history to record 50 career points in the contest, scored the game winner at the 59:40 mark.
"I am really proud of how our team played today, especially against a very talented and hard-working Temple team. They were tested in many ways and did a brilliant job of coming together and working towards a common goal, no matter the circumstance," Figlio said.
Monmouth will look to keep the momentum going as they take on Drexel in Philadelphia again on Friday, Sept. 23 at 6 p.m. and play next at home on Sunday, Sept. 25 against Bucknell at 1 p.m.

Republicans are looking to him to be the savior of their party. i.e. State of Union rebuttal. They threw him under the bus. He is young,smart and dynamic, but it's like the Yankees putting in the batboy in the 9th inning of the world series. He's not ready. I felt bad for him, but he was over his head and he knew it. But being loyal to his party, he went through with it. The Republicans are so obsessed with the next election, and loss in the last, they already have all their eggs in one basket. Republicans; ask yourself, " What if he jumps ship?"
sort by best latest
Same thing that will happen to them anyway. The Republican's problem is the sign at the entrance to the stadium which says, "No women, minorities, students, workers, intellectuals, non-Christians, or poor people allowed." Did I miss anyone? It doesn't matter who they put up to bat. Put Jessica Alba in a bikini, it wouldn't matter. The stands are vacant and empty stadiums go out of business.
I don't know whether Waterboy is smart or not, but I don't see why he'd be seen as a savior. His message was the same ridiculous Republican rubbish heap that the GOP have been shoveling at us for years (decades really (in some cases centuries)). He's welcome to jump ship. I for one sure as heck am not going to throw a rope to him (or any of them). The sooner they, and their tired, failed ideas, are sucked down into their vortex of stupidity the better.

I don't know about all that, but Republicans need to find the cure for chronic tunnel vision. They seem to have lost sight of things when they allowed that cloud of resentment over the last election, get in their way. They seem like a desperate bunch
It's not likely he is switching parties unless he is not a true believer in limiting the role of Gov't. The fact that people critique his speech because he needed a drink of water rather than address the substance of his speech shows how pathetic politics has become. This type of pathetic focus is why the sheep are allowed to be led around by the nose by the media into believing that people who believe in limiting the role of gov't must somehow be a racist or bigoted. (Even though Republicans have far more often appointed women and minorities into cabinet level positions) Few people are actually listening to substance. The reality is the Rubio to date has demonstrated himself to be a fairly strong advocate for limiting gov't. Until he shows otherwise, which he may do, I could care less how many drinks of water he needs.
His biggest problem is he comes from the Senate. And generally speaking congressman have no experience making individual decisions that they have to be held accountable for unless they have held a prior role in the private sector or state govenership. That often leads to terrible leadership, as we see with our current President. Electing someone soley based on charisma with little experience is something to be cautious about. Unfortunately, many Americans don't vote on policy as recent elections have demonstrated. On specific policy positions Obama was losing in nearly every area. Yet, he sounds good and people like him personally so they vote for him. Many Republicans think Rubio has the same charisma and consider him a leader based on that alone. I think he is a natural leader as well, but I am more interested in his policy positions. Not the hollywood like obsession with someone's haircut, walk, the shape of their chin, or how much water they drink in a speech. Because should he run for higher office, he won't have the mainstream media in his back pocket like Obama does. In all probability Rubio would not win a primary anyway and more likely be a VP candidate at best in 4 years.
The attraction to Rubio, is that a large number of hispanics hold very conservative values and agree with the GOP on many issues. But oppose the way the media has been able characterize the position of conservatives on the issue of immigration. They home that Rubio can better articulate the position without the media being able to distort the message by speaking directly to hispanics. That will make him a lightening rod for the mainstream.

I'm not knocking Rubio at all. Or the substance of his speech. I'm knocking the Republican party. I wouldn't take my son out of the middle school choir and have him do half time of the Super Bowl next. That's what they did to Rubio. Don't over-think
They didn't do anything to be critical off. He is someone that hopefully holds conservative values and is very charismatic and well like by his constituents. That makes him a very good choice. I personally thought he did fine.
Jump ship? Why would he do that? - you think the Democrats would put him up for anything important? If he were to jump ship then he is certainly not the candidate anyone thought he might be.The only serious question is will he go down with the ship, cause we all know the Republicans are adept at scuttling it.

Weren't people asking the same question of Ronald Reagan? I'm only asking "What if?" Do I think he will? No.

Disappeared! For once I am not writing about the Hilltop, though, it seems, that a good part of the Hilltop may soon disappear; future generations may wonder why houses were built too far from town centers and not far enough to be what is now called "the country." But that is an entirely different disappearance.
No. I am talking about that piece of paper that for sure was on my desk a few minutes ago, and now had disappeared. My wife makes lists of what to shop for and I make lists of things to do. But many times either one of us remembers a list made, even part of what was on the list, but what ever happened to the list?
There have recently been numerous articles about the brain and memory. It seems gone is the idea that with age memory must wane. Now it is claimed, use it or lose it. If not used, it atrophies, wastes away. Remain active and use the brain, be it through reading, crossword puzzles, bridge, chess or any thinking activity, and there seems to be no reason for a diminished memory. Examples are cited, how this 80- or 90-year-old just recently completed this or that feat, whether it was an intellectual or a physical act. Because after all, the brain is just like another muscle of the body that has to be used.
Good, but what happened to my list I made only yesterday on which I marked some very important chores I had to do. At least at the time these seemed vital. I ha ppen to be one of the elderly and I think I happened to be involved in many activities which would use whatever it is that stimulates the brain. Put me into a city where I had been some 20 or 30 years ago and the chances are I will find my way around and remember sights that I had seen. Talk about some old movie or play and the chances are that I will remember who was in it. But when it comes to recognizing persons, I am often lost. In other words, memory is selective.
My wife cites as a typical example when I, once flying westward towards Los Angeles, the middle seat not occupied, at the window seat a younger man dressed like me in jeans and sneakers. He was reading most of the trip and so was I. Until a little girl leaned over me and asked the gent for his autograph. Which he willingly gave. This made me somewhat suspicious and I asked for his name. "Richard Chamberlain," he said. Turns out that the previous weekend I had seen him act in "Night of the Iguana," but sitting next to him I did not know who he was.
I am not apt to admire many politicians except for their memory of faces, people and names, something that eludes me. This might be an apology, by the way, in case I did meet you recently and did not greet you like the good old friend you really are.
But coming back to my lost list. Since I pride myself on having a good memory, alas a selective one, I am apt to usually find anything by recalling the steps I had taken. I made the list lying in bed before going to sleep. The next morning, remembering that list and its disappearance I mentally retraced my steps: I took the list, stopped at the closet for socks and shoes, at the kitchen to make my morning tea, at my desk to make a couple of notes and down to the basement where I collect the newspapers for recycling. Sure enough, I find that lost list wit h the newspapers.
This is, by the way, a good method of using your brain, one that is suggested by those who study memory loss. Just try it. Maybe you will find what you have been looking for.

Added 17 Apr 2012:
I wonder if the info provided re the vit. C, etc. to take might help you even though its past a year since taking the Levaquin. To start, you might try taking up to 10,000 mgs of Vit C (in divided doses) for a day or two to start. If you do, pls. let me know if you have any change in your pain level. I use the 1,000 mg. tablets. Also, I use a large double-sectioned ice bag. Two ice bag inserts are kept in the freezer to be replaced when the others warm. Best wishes!

"The Gentleman who performed the ..."
About: Royal Albert Edward Infirmary Royal Albert Edward Infirmary Wigan WN1 2NN
Posted via NHS Choices (as ),
What I liked
The Gentleman who performed the X-ray on me was very polite and put me at ease
What could be improved
Cleanliness, the cubicle floor in which i was treated had blood stained tissue paper on it.
Communication, the doctor who treated me had clearly not read my medical history nor did he know that i had already had an X-ray 4hrs ago.
Abrupt staff, when we enquired about why we were waiting after 5 and a half hours, we were told we were waiting for a doctor.
I was given two forms of pain medication, yet i hadn't complained of any pain.

80 Aroma: 8/10 Flavor: 5/5 Value: 2/5This has got to be one of my all time favorites, however ridiculously overpriced as you can find with any Teavanna tea. When you first get it, you might not find the smell of the leaves very enticing, but once you brew it you'll find that it is a somewhat perfume-y tea, you won't find that it tastes perfume-y, but it has a much more soulful taste? The kind of taste where there are levels to it, it tastes meaningful.

67 Aroma: 7/10 Flavor: 3/5 Value: 3/5I'll start with that this tea was a gift. I usually drink an Assam or Yunnan. I don't have much experience with Oolongs. Pale amber/yellow color. The green part of the mix certainly moderates the flavor. Subtle and smooth. This should be a great choice for an Oolong fan.

83 Aroma: 9/10 Flavor: 5/5 Value: 2/5I will first start off by saying that this tea is well over priced at Teavana. I can buy the same quality Ti Kuan Yin elsewhere for around $4.00-$4.50 per ounce. With that being said, this is one of the best Oolong teas out there. I do find though that you really either love this tea, or you hate it. I love it, my wife hates it so..... Anyway, the loose tea itself doesn\'t smell all that appealing. But, when you add the water a wonderful orchid aroma engulfs the air. Once the liquor hits your pallet you know you are drinking a truly fine tea. It is smooth, flowery, clean, and super relaxing. I think the best part about this tea is that you can re-steep many, many, many times. The second and third steeps are my favorites. I have gotten all the way up to 5 steeps with the tea still being drinkable. Next time I will try for six! A couple of pots of this and you will be in Zen land!

83 Aroma: 8/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 4/5This is a nice, subtle oolong. The leaves are fairly green and the fermentation flavor is mild. I think new tea drinkers or occasional tea drinkers may have trouble appreciating the subtlety of this tea, but I'm told it blends well for people that like their teas to have stronger flavors. Because of its gentle flavor, this is a good tea for early in the day, or with dim sum or congee.

13 Aroma: 1/10 Flavor: 1/5 Value: 1/5The aroma was weak as was the flavor. The price is way too high. Overall, the taste of the tea upon first brew tasted as though it had been brewed 5 times beforehand. Not worth it!

This is a greener oolong, but not among the greenest. I think this might place it in the zone where it is more accessible to western tea drinkers than some of the greenest oolongs. The aroma is strongly floral, but with woody tones as well. Compared to Foojoy's Monkey Picked Ti Kuan Yin, this one was much greener and had a much lighter roast.
My main complaint on this one is the price: it's absolutely astronomical: $25 for 2 ounces, with no discount for buying larger quantities. A second complaint related to this tea is oriented towards Teavana's sales practices--in one store I had the Teavana staff get more than a little bit pushy about recommending this tea, which was, not coincidentally, the most expensive tea in the store at the time. I don't appreciate that, and it was one of my first impressions with the Teavana chain, and left a marked negative impression on me that has been reinforced by reading of other's experiences with pushy salespeople.
I sampled this tea side-by-side with Life in Teacup's Bai Ya Qi Lan, from a different varietal of oolong, in a greener style, but side-by-side the teas were similar, and I slightly preferred the one from Life in Teacup...but here's the kicker. That tea was $4 an ounce.
I do think this is a very good tea. But it's not up to the level of the competition-winning teas that I've sampled, it's just a solidly high quality oolong. And, for teas in this price range, you can buy top-notch teas, including competition-winning teas from Taiwan and China, in a similar style, which really blow this one away. Or, you can find teas of similar quality for much cheaper (read $8 or less for 2 ounces).
93 Aroma: 10/10 Flavor: 5/5 Value: 5/5Knocked off a few points because this tea is extremely expensive, but it is my absolute favourite tea.

It might be a bit subtle for non-regular-tea-drinkers or anyone who likes to add stuff to their tea.
77 Aroma: 7/10 Flavor: 5/5 Value: 3/5I really like this oolong, but its so expensive to me. I have tasted other oolongs that cost less and still taste great. Its a good tea, but not worth 25 dollars for 2 oz.

Published: Saturday 25th October 2014 by The News Editor
Canadians have returned to the reopened grounds of Parliament Hill just three days after a gunman murdered a soldier at the national war memorial then stormed parliament before he was gunned down.
House speaker Andrew Scheer said tours of parliament would resume on Monday, but visitors could expect to see a heightened Royal Canadian Mounted Police presence at entrances. Counselling sessions would be provided for Commons staff, he said.
The reopening comes at a time when Canadians are debating how to balance homeland safety and freedoms in a country that treasures its image as an orderly, open society, a place where the seat of government welcomes weekly public yoga sessions on its front lawn beneath a monument called the Peace Tower.
Brett Connors was among the visitors who came to the reopened grounds of Parliament Hill, accompanying his 11-year-old daughter's youth hockey team as players took photos in front of a flame commemorating the nation's 1967 centennial. He said reopening Parliament Hill, and soon the building, to the public sent an important signal.
"It represents democracy. So by closing it, it's like closing the country down," said Mr Connors, of Scarborough, near Toronto. "One single incident can't be bigger than our whole democracy."
"You have tragedy, but you have to rise from that."
Shirley Savage made a point of visiting the grounds during a weekend trip from her home in Belleville, Ontario. She had been there before, but this time, the visit symbolised "the fact that Canadians are standing together", she said.
The attack in Ottawa came two days after a man described as an "Isil (Islamic State)-inspired terrorist" ran over two soldiers in a car park in Quebec, killing one and injuring the other before being shot dead by police.
The man had been under surveillance by Canadian authorities who feared he had jihadist ambitions and seized his passport when he tried to travel to Turkey.
The Ottawa gunman was identified as Michael Zehaf-Bibeau, 32. Muslim leaders said he once complained that a Vancouver mosque he attended was too liberal and inclusive and was kicked out after he repeatedly spent the night there even though officials told him to stop.
On Wednesday, Zehaf-Bibeau gunned down Corporal Nathan Cirillo, 24, who was assigned to the honour guard at the national war memorial. Zehaf-Bibeau was eventually shot dead inside parliament by the sergeant-at-arms of the House of Commons, Kevin Vickers.
Zehaf-Bibeau's motive remains unknown, but prime minister Stephen Harper has called the shooting a terror attack, and the bloodshed raised fears that Canada is suffering reprisals for joining the US-led air campaign against IS extremists in Iraq and Syria.
Unlike the attacker in the Quebec case, Zehaf-Bibeau was not being watched by authorities. But a police chief said Zehaf-Bibeau – whose father was from Libya – may have lashed out in frustration over delays in getting his passport.
Abubakir Abdelkareem, who often visited the Ottawa Mission, a homeless shelter where Zehaf-Bibeau stayed in recent weeks, said Zehaf-Bibeau told him he had had a drug problem but had been clean for three months and was trying to steer clear of temptation by going to Libya.

Onboarding is an investment in employee retention and productivity, and managers play a critical role in planning and implementing the onboarding process for new employees. Often, employees feel a stronger connection to the organization and to his or her immediate team when properly engaged. As a result, these employees are more successful contributors.
If executed properly, the onboarding process should last at least through the employee's third month of employment.
Onboarding Best Practices
Develop a Schedule for the First Day
While it is important to not overwhelm the new employee with too much information, there are key areas that should be covered on the first day. The new employee should be able to navigate the immediate physical environment, use basic communication and work equipment and know what to expect next. Many first day activities will be influenced by the job itself.
When creating a schedule for a new hire's first day, keep in mind that although most new employees prefer not to be left with nothing to do, they generally appreciate some "down" time to explore their work space and review information they've received.
Establish Strong Communication
When supervisors and employees communicate effectively, it can help establish an environment of trust and respect, and optimize productivity and quality. The pattern of communication between a manager and a new employee start before his/her first day on the job. Discussing each other's communication preferences early on can add clarity to formal and informal exchanges. Let the employee know your preferred means of communication.

The Shoplifters at Arena Stage
There seems to be a plethora of new works hitting Washington DC area stages this season. This includes four new works planned at Arena Stage at the Mead Center for American Theater. (Five counting the special event The War coming to the Center's Kogod Cradle.) For that we should applaud artistic director Molly Smith's commitment to continuing to showcase both classic American theater works and nurturing playwrights to create new experiences for theatergoers.
The first out of the gate is Canadian playwright Morris Panych' The Shoplifters. This rather slight comedy shows glimmers of potential as most works garnering a first or second production should. What keeps The Shoplifters from being just a pure sitcom on the stage is the central performance by Jayne Houdyshell, making her Arena Stage debut.
Taking place in a store room of a grocery store, designed with towers of name brand boxes by set designer Ken MacDonald, two female shoplifters, Alma and Phyllis, are apprehended by Dom, a rookie security guard. They are interrogated both together and separately by Dom and his more experienced colleague, Otto who is more inclined to let the ladies off with perhaps a warning. Over the course of several hours, there are tantalizing glimpses into all four characters, before the situation reaches resolution.
Directed by the playwright, Morris Panych, The Shoplifters is funny and in a few brief moments, rather poignant. The problem is that the scenario is slight. The play runs 90 minutes, 100 with a completely unnecessary intermission. We never learn any real reasons why Alma and Phyllis are shoplifting, nor do we ever understand their friendship. Dom is a militant deeply religious Dudley Do Right. He even states that he is former member of the Salvation Army. This makes the character entertaining, but again rather shallow. Otto, the world weary 30 year veteran guard is the only character that feels fleshed out.
The performances are uniformly good. The evening that this reviewer attended, the role of Otto was played by understudy Michael Russotto. Mr. Russotto had that blend of experience and laissez faire that comes from the character understanding the ways of the world. Adi Stein's Dom is intense with the zealotry that comes from a young man who easily sees the world in black and white, saved and damned. He presents a figure desperate to fill out the three sizes too big uniform he has been issued.
Jenna Sokolowski is physically awkward and neurotically in a tizzy as the hapless Phyllis, conned or perhaps bullied or shamed by Alma into being her partner in crime. The marvelous Jayne Houdyshell is brassy, defiant and unashamed as Alma the queen of petty thievery. Ms. Houdyshell takes her very entertaining character and runs with it, making some of the more absurd twists of the story believable.
If you decide to see The Shoplifters you will be thoroughly entertained. The play is very funny, but the comedy is very much sitcom crossed with an adult version of "a very special episode" of social conscientiousness. Fleshing out the relationships, eliminating the intermission and, perhaps, splitting the set into the two rooms that are implied by the script, thereby making scene transitions more believable would go along way to improving the play. Here's to its' next incarnation.
The Shoplifters by Morris Panych is being performed at Arena Stage's Kreeger Theatre at the Mead Center for American Theater through October 19, 2014. For tickets and other performance information please visit arenastage.org.

Long Line of Love 4: Carae's Touch
With the death of the woman he considered his sheenea or perfect mate Brandon Grayhawk lost all hope of ever living happily ever after. Or so he thought. Then he meets Carae Harrington who immediately captures his attention and leaves him questioning his belief that he could only have one true partner. Nevertheless, Brandon knows he's carrying too much emotional baggage to offer Carae anything but heartache.
Driven by an emotional and physical attraction she's powerless to dismiss, Carae decides to risk her heart and her sanity to help Brandon move on. After several false starts and disappointments, she believes she and Brandon have a future together. Instead, she's shocked to hear from his ex in a way that drives a wedge between them and threatens to derail their fragile relationship when she needs him most.
Revisit the Grayhawk clan in Long Line of Love 4: Carea's Touch
