Small class sizes, faculty mentoring and collaborative learning are the hallmarks of a Baldwin Wallace education. In combination with our holistic approach to learning, BW's Master of Medical Science (MMS) physician assistant program prepares you to be a patient-care provider across diverse health care settings.
Through coursework and clinical rotations, you'll gain extensive integrated and diagnostic medical sciences training designed to build proficiencies in critical thinking and problem solving. Upon completion, you'll earn the MMS degree and be prepared to take the Physician Assistant National Certifying Exam (PANCE).
The PA program encourages candidates with undergraduate degrees in any major area; however all candidates must have successfully completed specific prerequisite courses with a minimum cumulative GPA of 3.0. All prerequisite coursework must be obtained from a regionally accredited institution in the U.S., should be completed within the last seven years, and candidates must have a working knowledge of these courses.
Twenty-Four Months to a Top Medical Career
Physician assistant (PA) is one of the fastest-growing health careers. Forbes.com rates physician assistant #1 on its list of "best master's degrees for jobs," and CNNMoney.com ranks physician assistant as its #2 choice for a health care career in its "Best Jobs in America" list.
A physician assistant (PA) is a medical professional who works as part of a team with a physician. PAs perform physical examinations, diagnose and treat illnesses, order and interpret lab tests, perform procedures, assist in surgery, provide patient education and counseling and make rounds in hospitals and nursing homes. They work in all medical and surgical specialties to complement physician practice. All 50 states and the District of Columbia allow PAs to practice and prescribe medications.

All faculty who are physician assistants continue to work clinically, keeping their skills and knowledge base current in today's changing health care environment. Students learn in a state of the art cadaver lab.
24-Month Program. BW's MMS physician assistant program begins in May. The 24-month program ensures that students complete a comprehensive didactic and clinical curriculum with placements across NE Ohio so that they are qualified to sit for the PANCE exam and begin employment as a physician assistant earlier than other graduating PA classes in the area. While intensive in nature, BW's PA program requires more than 2000 clinical hours, and students benefit from three elective clinical placements.
Baldwin Wallace's Ideal Location. BW's location is ideal. Its suburban campus is just minutes from internationally-ranked and renowned medical facilities. Northeast Ohio offers outstanding career opportunities in all aspects of health care. As a student in the physician assistant program, you'll complete more than 2000 hours of clinical experience working with practicing professionals in a variety of settings, from major research hospitals to clinics to extended care facilities.
100% Pass Rate on PANCE. BW's first class of the physician assistant program graduated in May 2015. Students who graduated from BW's physician assistant program in 2015, 2016, 2017 and 2018 achieved a 100 percent first-time pass rate on the Physician Assistant National Certifying Exam (PANCE).

Preceptors Praise BW PA Students
Following the didactic year, BW PA students enter the clinical phase of their education and training, where they work directly with a PA preceptor, interact with patients and medical staff, learn on their feet and apply their knowledge on a daily basis. Preceptors enthusiastically share feedback with the PA Program with comments such as … Medical knowledge and clinical skills are beyond expectations … No difficulty treating some very challenging cases … Comes to the rotation with an excellent base of medical knowledge …
One of the best students I have had … Able to pick up subtle physical exam findings and develop treatment plans for complex patients … and so on. Here are two testimonials in more detail:
"Fundamentals of knowledge are excellent, she is very well prepared to continue learning in the clinical realm "(This BW student) was a dream for any preceptor, especially so early in her rotations. Her knowledge base is impressive and readily applied to the clinical setting. She is always attentive, always willing to try new diagnostic and therapeutic techniques, and always ready to assist in more complex procedures. Please send me more students as prepared and eager as her!"
– Andrea Boyd, PA-C, Southwest General Health Center, Emergency Department
"(This BW student) has a strong knowledge of disease processes and continued to read relevant material regarding her patients throughout the rotation. Treatment plans are often the most difficult area for students; however, she put in the time and effort to strengthen her assessments and plans and succeeded brilliantly. She was a strong asset to our team and always brought a positive attitude and a desire to get involved and learn. She is a quick learner and, if she continues on her current path, she will undoubtedly achieve great things. It was an absolute pleasure to work with her!"
– Qutaibah Khatib, MD, Summa Health Systems, Critical Care Unit

I love this song, Jacqueline! I listened to it during Christmas and it always made me smile. But it's not, necessarily, a Christmas song is it? I always liked Rosemary Clooney. There was always something so comfy-cozy about her. :)

Fred, just because the snow is soapflakes on a soundstage doesn't mean it's not real. We must not deny Southern Californians their pretty illusions.
Caftan Woman, it's true that Irving Berlin did not do his own shoveling. Ira Gershwin used to come over his house and shovel his walk for five bucks. Or maybe it was Jerome Kern. I forget now.
Yvette, I agree Rosemary Clooney had a very comfortable, likeable screen presence. I have sung this song on trains myself, and nobody else joined in, but I like to think if Rosie had been there, she'd jump in on a verse.

The Jewish Museum
Exhibition advertising, out-of-home, video production, social media
Develop a campaign that inspires downtown contemporary art enthusiasts to come uptown and see the Kehinde Wiley exhibition at The Jewish Museum–on an extremely limited budget.
Instead of fragmenting the campaign across traditional print and digital advertising, we focused the entire budget on a single hand-painted urban wallscape that brought the artist's intricate, colorful work to life at massive scale on Houston Street. We also shot a video of the wallscape production process including an interview with the artist, which we released online via social media channels.
The project was covered by the Wall Street Journal, Complex, Gallerist and over 50 art news and general interest websites, and the museum saw a 20% lift in attendance for the show.
Wiley felt this campaign was a "muscular, dynamic approach to putting artwork out in the world." We couldn't agree more.


text: Hi fellow southeasterners, I have another road trip planned in a couple of weeks from Charleston SC to Greenville TN, and some driving possibly to Johnson City, Elizabethton area. Does anyone have general advice, and advice on best places to charge a Roadster in Spartanburg area, or along I-26 to Asheville, etc? I expect to be able to find RV parks of course. It looks like my total drive to first destination is around 325 miles, but there will be mountains as well. Are there any Tesla drivers in this part of the Southeast who would like to meetup, and compare notes and cars? I'm looking forward to some good weather!

Pooch battling is a tricky underground composed wrongdoing that merits much legal and political examination.

Despite the supreme preclusion in America, it has achieved pandemic extents in all urban groups and keeps on flourishing in numerous country ranges too. The aggregate American heart has for some time been spurned by the certain mercilessness inside the way of life of dogfighting, yet the law requirement group has been lamentably remiss in valuing the full degree and gravity of the issue. Verifiably, the wrongdoing was mistakenly delegated a detected creation welfare issue, and thusly has been predominately ignored by law requirement.

Last night, like fans everywhere, I got gussied up in my best Hogwarts gear and went to see the final Harry Potter movie premiere at midnight.
Despite the fact that I'm running on about three hours of sleep (yawn!) and lots of caffeine today, I'm so glad I was able to be a part of the midnight madness one last time. The excitement was tinged with some sadness that it's all over, though… After my ten-plus years of fandom — including late-night movie premieres, midnight book releases (the last one as an indie bookseller), and Potter parties — it really does feel like saying goodbye to an old friend.
I'm prolonging the afterglow (and trying to stave off the sense of mourning) by listening to "LeakyCon Radio" over at Sirius XM, running live from the convention all weekend. Obviously, I'd brave a basilisk to be at LeakyCon in person, but since I can't be there I'm thrilled to be able to eavesdrop on the panel discussions and interviews.
Stay tuned for our movie review of Deathly Hallows, Part 2, and in the meantime, feel free to share some fandom memories of your own in the comments.

First, please allow me to introduce myself. My name is Mike, I'm a military vehicle collector and enthusiest. I am new to boating and have much to learn on the subject.
Recently, I've come into possession of a US Navy inflatable assault boat. It is 21 feet long by 7'10" wide. The floatation tubes are 2' in diameter. The bow design leaves a channel under the boat between the pontoons. The deck is a high pressure inflatable type. Basically, it is an older (1990) Zodiac SEAL assault boat. The transom certificate plate rates the boat as is for a 40hp motor. I was able to acquire a 30 hp motor made by Mercury second hand.
Yesterday, I took the boat out for a shake down cruise on the Potomac river. While I was basically happy with the results, I did find a couple of issues I need some help on.
1. I believe the prop may not be in the water deep enough. When I throttle up on the engine past the "start" point, the engine seems to either cavitate or is getting ventilation from under the boat. Part of the problem may be that the inflatable deck is bowing when I accelerate. Any suggestions?
2. If I am getting ventilation (air trapped under the boat going through the prop) how can I solve this problem and do I need to reinfoce the bottom of the boat to change the profile in the water?
Going upstream, I attained about 4 mph according to my GPS. I feel I should be able to get quite a bit more speed out of this boat since empty it weighs 210 pounds and has a draft of maybe 2 inches.
Any help is appreciated and thanks.

id you ever want to step into a time machine and see how people lived in the past? Then come aboard! In this unusual document you are going to be given a tour of Hickman Family history unlike any other I know of. You will also see how small, seemingly insignificant decisions made by parents create whole new worlds for their children and their children's children. Read this carefully--the bigger story is the one written between the lines:
Colonial Days
Grandmother's Story of the Revolution
Mary Thayer Bundy
he click, click of the hoe on the gravel soil of the garden stopped as a neighbor called over the fence, "Have you had any green peas yet?" "Yes," Father replied, "No medicine like fresh vegetables from the soil, no exercise like hoeing in the garden!"
Other conversation went on which I did not understand--and then again the click, click of the hoe as the neighbor left. It stopped suddenly, however, as a stranger came up and asked, "Is this Dr. Thayer?" "Yes," again answered by my father. And slow conversation ensued which I did not understand. They spoke in serious tones and father had a little troubled frown upon his brow.
At length I heard him say, "I will be ready in a few minutes," and he turned toward the house.
"Somebody awful sick?" I asked in a childish voice, wondering what illness could drain the color from his face and cause him to look so serious. I realized that he was taking this case more serious than most of his cases, and he had many, for father was a doctor and subject to sudden desperate calls.
"Yes, the whole country is sick, child." He took me in his arms and walked to the house. "I must leave for a long time, my baby. Be good to your mother and do all you can to help her."
"I can do lots," I answered enthusiastically as I recalled the pan of chips I had just fathered.
"Brave little Mary," he said as he put me down on the back step. There were a few words to mother--a horse was saddled--a bundle packed and he was away with it tied behind his saddle, his farewell kiss had been tempered with the words, "Remember our motto is Liberty or Death!" "Liberty or death," repeated my mother as she sank down upon the step and took me in her arms to shower me with tears. "What hurt you mother?" I asked.
"Your father may never come back," then seeming to remember me for the first time she straightened up as she added, "But we must be brave." The neighbor came and went. There was great excitement. All the men but daddy Godfrey left. He came every day to see how we were getting along. He stopped by the door on the first visit after father's departure with his cane in his hand, his gray head nodding as he almost sobbed, "If I were only a little younger. Well--I guess I can at least be home guard," he added a little more cheerfully, "so let me know if you need anything."
It was also daddy Godfrey who helped me to gather scraps of wool from the safe-brush and after the Torries had taken all the sheep he helped to get it for mother to spin--even helped knit it into stockings, which we made for the soldiers while the war lasted.
It was he who came over and chopped wood for us until he was too feeble. After that we would drag in the wood and placing one end on the fire shove it along as it burned off.
Food became very scarce, and as the fighting drew nearer our home we tried to find a hiding place in which to store a few provisions. Often we hid in the woods from the band of Torries who came to pillage our possessions. One night we saw the Red Coats coming and slipped out into the woods where we had a hiding place with some secreted food. We peeped out continuously hoping they would pass on, but they did not. They entered the house, took possession of the barn and everything else they could possibly use, even the hay we had gathered for our old cow "Pink." This meager supply of fodder was fed to their hungry horses. The night was cold but we did not dare make a fire. Mother cuddled me in her arms and I slept until the sun shone the next morning.
"You are cold, Mother, you gave me all the cover," I cried. "Keep quiet," she cautioned me, "They are leaving."
After the sound of the last hoof had died away, mother slipped cautiously out and returned for me presently saying, "They are gone, and taken everything worthwhile with them, even father's best clothes, and left only an officer's old red coat." (There is still a scrap of the old coat in the family, 1933)
The old cow Pink disappeared when they put their horses in the stable. We thought they had taken her, but in a couple of weeks she came back with a new calf. Her milk with the potatoes we have stored away, and the nuts I had gathered in the woods supplied us with food for ourselves and a little for anyone who came hungry to our door. We had to empty our bed ticks to feed old Pink until the grass came again.
Mother was never well again after the night in the woods, I was three years old when the war started, having been born in 1773, but so many responsibilities were placed upon me that it seemed like I was almost grown up when it was over, and I was six. I tried to raise a garden but it did not look like father's. But oh how he praised my efforts when he finally returned to take charge.
I continued to help in the garden even after his return, for he was kept quite busy with his many patients.
Mother only lived two years after his return, then I became housekeeper. It was always necessary to practice economy in order to build up our rundown place, and help build up the new and now glorious country.
When I was ten years old my father bought me a light red riding habit of heavy twilled material. He put my pillow in behind his saddle and I rode behind him to church as proud as a queen.
One day we went out to see Uncle Cornelius White, who was given a grant of land for his services to the nation. At that time most of the land in New York State was covered with timber. It was so dense that it had taken him a whole year to clear one acre. The great trees were cut down and burned--the ashes sold for potash, and used to make soap, etc. Sometimes the roots had to rot before they could be entirely removed.
Uncle Cornelius had succeeded in raising alfalfa, a crop of potatoes after his first years' clearing, and as we rode up the wholesome odor of baking potatoes came to my nostrils. A few minutes after our arrival a surveyor came to survey the land. His three cornered hat sat jauntily on his head, his velvet knickerbockers had silver buckles at the knees, and there were great silver buckles on his shoes. In admiration I stood with mouth and eyes wide open as with a lace handkerchief he stooped to flick the dust from his shoes.
Just then Aunt Nancy stood in the doorway and called, "The meal is ready!" "Will you join us?" asked Uncle Cornelius of the surveyor. "I would be delighted to!" he answered graciously. Very much thrilled I walked along closely behind him. I was almost under his heels as he entered the cottage door, but hastily jumped aside as suddenly he began backing out, saying, "I guess I won't eat!" (having seen the table with nothing but a platter of potatoes.)
I did not understand what was happening until after Uncle Cornelius grabbed him by the shoulders and almost threw him into a seat at the table. "Oh yes, you will eat. You are no better than I am!" And suddenly I was proud of Uncle Cornelius in his leather knickerbockers and cowhide shoes--and never in my life did Aunt Nancy's baked potatoes and fresh milk taste better to me. Even the surveyor ate with relish. The potatoes were eaten with the skins and all as they were by the Indians, who seemed to think the skins were a necessary part. Whole wheat boiled and corn hominy were luxuries during the war. The grist mills were soon running after the war ended. As money was scarce, father had to take what he could for his services. He usually received the produce of the country so we had plenty from the farmers. "The idler shall not eat the bread of the laborer" was lived up to as strictly as the Ten Commandments. Everyone who was able to work was expected to keep busy.
I had learned industry and that it was wicked to waste anything, even time. So I, having some time to spare, decided to make use of it by learning the tailoring trade. I could spend part of my time as an apprentice and still keep up my homework. One day after my day's work when I was just removing the apple dumplings from the fire there was a knock at the door, father answered the knock, and shouted heartily, "We have a guest for supper!" It was a young man by the name of Benggar Bundy, who had fought with father in the war. He seemed so delighted with the dumplings he came often thereafter. It was a long time before I realized that he liked me better than he did the dumplings I made.
He had gone barefooted as a drummer boy during the war, and had decided to learn to make shoes if only for his own use. So he served an apprenticeship soon after the war was over. He came to our town to find a suitable place to start the business, as it was not long before he had several men and boys working for him.
We were married and were very happy for a while, but I was left a widow with two children within five years. The oldest child Benger seemed to be full of adventure and before he was full grown he determined to go to India to seek his fortune. At one time we learned of the fortune he had gained, and of his intention to come home to mother. We never heard of him again. Was he lost at sea? Robbed and killed? Or did he die a natural death? These questions have been continually in my heart.
After Benger left I went to work at my trade to educate my other child, Sally. When she was through school her father's brother invited her to go to Farmersville in Catargus County, New York, for a vacation. Shortly after her arrival there her uncle died and I expected Sally to return promptly, but instead received news of her wedding.
She was married to Moses Wade, who owned a fulling mill at Niagara Falls, and was considered very well off.
After Sally's marriage I felt that I had to keep busy, so when people wanted me to go to their homes to do their tailoring and sewing, I decided to go. It saved cooking as I got my board and since money was scarce I only got twenty-five cents a day. I was able to save almost all of it, however, by living economically during the ten years following.
Then I received word from Sally saying she was sick, and that her husband had been cheated out of his mills. She had four children and I knew that I was needed. I had been saving clothes that had been given me during the years I had been sewing and making them over for the children. I started my journey.
Father Isaac Theyer had already passed on, and I was completely alone, and my going made but little difference to anyone. Father had lived to be a hundred and eight years old and died in his chair. (It was quite a saying: grandfather Theyer lived to be 108 years old) He had never been sick a day in his life, when he went he dropped off to sleep and never awakened.
When I arrived at my daughter's home I discovered that she had tuberculosis as my mother had had. She had four children, the youngest, Minerva, was three. I could see my own actions in this busy little mite but I don't think I was ever so mischievous. She would get at my spinning wheel and try to spin, only to break off the end and I would have to hunt for a long time to find it. Whenever she got into mischief she would slip around behind me and putting her arms around my neck, say, "Oh granny, I love you!" She was the age I was when the war broke out--and she will go on with the story.
Minerva Wade Hickman
es, I loved granny, and tried to do everything she did. That is why I was always trying her spinning wheel. When she would scold me I would get behind her and putting my arms around her neck, would say, "Kiss me granny!" But she would shake me off saying, "Get away Judas!" "I will be good, granny!" I would promise and then I would plead until she forgave me.
Granny was away five days when I was three, and I began to worry about her work. Mother heard me rattling the dishes in the kitchen and called out, "Minerva, what are you doing!" "Dis' a legilating." I said, trying to use the word "regulating" as grandmother did whenever she spoke of tidying up. Mother was not able to get up and see, and as the other children had gone to school and she had to wait until father came home to find out what mischief I had been up to she was surprised when father told her that the dishes were all washed and the hearth winged, meaning it had been swept off with the large turkey wing used for that purpose. I had done so very well that my self-assigned task became my daily portion. When Granny came back I thought she ought to do it and I would say, "Granny, I is tired." But her answer was "Little hands can work as well as big ones."
Granny stayed with us a whole year, then she went back and forth to Albany.
She always brought us clothes, and seemed to take the responsibility of us almost entirely. When I was ten years old my mother was partially restored to health, and began working at millinery. She would walk to and fro weaving the straw into braid, then fashion it into hats for men and hats and bonnets for women. I too learned to weave straw and enjoyed it. My mother was beautiful and I desired to be like her and do everything she did. She had beautiful clothes which were laid away, and I used to long to see her dressed up in them, just even once, and then to wear one of the beautiful bonnets she would make.
I was fifteen years old when father decided to sell out and go to Illinois. I was full of adventure and thrilled at the contemplated change. We had money and a splendid outfit, with provisions enough to last us for two years. We had three teams and wagons, granny had made her home with us since I was three, except when she was out tailoring and now she went with us. She had saved enough money on her twenty-five cents a day to buy a farm when we reached Illinois.
She, however, missed the comforts she was accustomed to and did not long survive the journey. My two older sisters became dissatisfied and returned to New York.
Then new troubles came, Father and my brother Edward went to fight in the Mexican War. The strains of the new life along with the troubles and worries sent mother again to her bed, and in a few months she passed away.
The provisions father left were so needed in the community that they were gladly shared with those in want. But I who had been provided for all my life had to be awakened to new responsibilities. This was done by Martha Bingham, a girl younger than myself. It was when a neighbor woman died and there was no one to wash and lay her out, women far older than we trembled at the sight of death and shrinking back said, "Oh, who can take care of her?" Then Martha touched my arm, "We can do it Minerva! I helped to lay out my mother." And the job was gladly turned over to us.
From that time on we were both called on to take care of the dead and dying. On the border frontier it was our place to care for death victims and they were many.
Then I was married and went with the pioneers to Utah. My grandmother's teachings and my own experiences were a great help in the west, where the best in everyone was needed. I was called on to make men's clothes and women's dresses before sewing machines existed. Life was a continual lesson in thrift and growth and service.
When I was thirty-five I was left a widow and with six children moved to a little settlement north of Ogden. It was called North Ogden. For years I was the only doctor in the country, not the kind of doctor with a degree, but a midwife who wrestled for life. (I joined the Salt Lake Board of Health in 1858 then labored to make that life worthwhile.)
My degree was wrested from the hard school of necessity and experience. My pay for nursing a mother through her illness and cooking and caring for her family was usually three dollars, and there were men who envied me at that, for they could not even do that well. Nothing for them in the winter.
I was able to provide for my family and was happy in my work. We usually had as much as our neighbors, and when the railroad went through, my two sons could help some. With the coming of the railroad came other luxuries, and I had my share. I had the first sewing machine in town, and one of the first houses with a second story.
The hardest part of my work was leaving my children so much alone, but they looked after each other and my labors were blessed. I will now introduce you to my youngest child Mary Ella, and let her go on with the story.
Mary Ella Koleb Martineau
es, I want to go on with the story, and mention the sacrifices mother made for us, for I know she will never tell them. In fact, she didn't even consider them as sacrifices, but as privileges, and so her mother heart was far more glorious than one who thinks of each service to her family as a sacrifice. Mother was born in Farmersville, New York in 1830. I was born in Murray, Utah thirty-five years later on September 28, 1865.
My mother was a widow from the time I was eighteen months old. My first recollection is crossing the sand ridge between Salt Lake and Ogden. I was peeking through the little round hole in the back of the wagon cover, and then childish like, and without reason I took my little pisy [prissy?] calico sunbonnet and dropped it through the hole.
The first Christmas I remember, I got a little doll. It was the pride and joy of my heart. And when it fell by the bake oven and burned a hole in its dress I was inconsolable until mother comforted me as she sat by the fireplace stitching the men's coats she was making. She was never too busy to give consolation, however. She was always working, stitch, stitch, stitch, went her needle--and then heating her iron in the fireplace she would carefully press her sewing until I almost wondered if she were magic, to make such lovely things.
In the evening she would either tell us a bedtime story, read some poetry or a chapter from the Bible, and then the song of the spinning wheel would sing us to sleep. And the same music would waken us in the morning. I used to wonder if my mother ever slept.
There is still some of the homespun left from my mother's own spinning. A pair of stocking legs of her grandmother's were still worn by my mother when I was a child. I asked her about them one day, and she told me that she had worn them twenty-five years. They had been refooted, retoed, and reheeled many times, but the legs had only an occasional darn as mother sealed them up with pride after that twenty-five years of service. The wool had been spun by hand its full length. The homespun cloth of those early days was made to last as long as possible, and not for one short season's styles.
Buffalo robes and buckskins were also much used in early days.
Our foods were of the substantial type, there were no pastries nor rich foods of the present day. We ate the food provided by nature, and we even learned many things from the Indians who dried their meat, berries, and savory leaves, pounding them together and making it into cakes, after which they were dried in the sun and stored away for winter. These cakes were called "Pemmican". The biscuits and bread they begged from the white people were seldom eaten in their fresh state, but dried and stored away for the winter's supply of food. The serviceberries, so named because they served so well for food, were dried in great quantities. We used them as raisins in our puddings.
In pioneer days small couples would come from foreign countries and when their sons grew up in this country on the substantial diet of the pioneer these sons of a small stock would do surprising things and often pass the six-foot mark in height. They ate the natural food and nature responded by giving them large healthy bodies. Whole wheat (ground in small mills), roasted potatoes, service berries, plenty of produce, cress, fresh milk, butter and other garden products in the season thereof produced a hardy pioneer people who are now able to face life and its sternest problems.
We were taught, as mother had been, that it was a sin to waste. If we had more than was needed, there were always others in need--and our greatest pleasure was in sharing. The only thing my mother was ever extravagant about was fuel. She was brought up in New York where wood was plentiful, and she couldn't feel like she was working unless she had a big fire going. I learned economy of fuel from a lady in
Ogden with whom I went to stay and learn the Hair Trade when I was fourteen. She told me to only make a fire on one side of the stove and there would be enough heat from that to heat the kettle on the other end.
When I was twelve, mother went to take care of my sister in confinement. Our own orchard was just beginning to bear fruit. I dried $45.50 of peaches, which were shipped by teams to the mines in Montana. This money bought our winter's clothes and groceries.
When I was fifteen, 1880, we went to Idaho because mother had accepted a position as housekeeper. The hired man came for the waste bread, mother had none. He came again the second time and asked for the waste bread for the pig. "I don't make bread for pigs," mother replied indignantly. "I make good bread, and what is not eaten by people I use in puddings, and dressing." "We have always had a boiler full for the pigs," said the man, "Guess I'll have to get some bran for them." They told mother she saved her wages by her economy.
She had been doctor and nurse for years--her health was failing under the strain and when she was offered the housekeeper's position at the Boss Fork Trading Post, now called Fort Hall, she accepted.
I was sent to Ogden to attend the Sacred Heart Academy. One half hour was given in the school to dress, wash, comb the hair, make the bed, and clean the stand. I had been used to taking half hour to comb my hair, and consequently was late every morning. I always got scolded, until I made up my mind that if the rest could get through in half an hour I could. At the end of the first year I was able to do it all in fifteen minutes and had fifteen minutes left to study which I put to good use for the girls who were a year ahead of me when I went there were behind me when I left at the end of two years.
I was very dainty about my food when I went there, but never after. We would get so hungry that everything tasted good. At 4 P.M. we had colision, a slice of bread and molasses. I always begged for straight bread.
If we asked for a piece when we were children mother would say, "If you are hungry enough to eat a piece of dry bread go and get it." Nothing tasted better than a piece of dry bread when I was hungry. Even yet I enjoy chewing a crust until it becomes sweet in my mouth. The starch actually turns to sugar and is easily digested in the stomach.
In 1885 I had a room with a relative in Salt Lake City. My food cost me $1.00 a week. I had everything I desired at an average of fifteen cents a day. One loaf of bread, five cents, one quart of milk, five cents. Sometimes I had bread and milk and other times I used the cream and let the milk sour for cottage cheese, or beat it up for buttermilk. Vegetables were one cent a pound, fruit from one to two cents per pound. This left two or three cents a day for anything else I cared for. Often a friend ate with me but as I bought my extras in quantities it did not seem to make much difference in the general bill.
When I married in 1886, we went on a homestead in Idaho. There were great expenses building fencing, clearing the sagebrush off the land, and everything that goes with building a new country. Often the two of us lived on less than a dollar a week. We could buy one hundred pounds of potatoes for fifty cents. Jackrabbits were plentiful and my husband was a good shot. Our meat diet was cottontail or bunny fried in butter.
When we had exhausted all our means on the homestead, my husband got his job back in Pocatello. Every six months, however, it was necessary to return to the ranch in order to hold it. Before we proved upon it my husband met with an accident and lost the sight of one eye. He thought if I had to take the living I could do better in some town where he could help raise a garden. We got a little home ten miles from Ogden. I made coats into capes as capes were then the fashion, and did dress-making and sewing of all sorts.
When our six months were up my husband again returned to the homestead to look after things. He wrote to me to follow [him to Idaho] as a man had decided to jump our claim if we did not return. We had two mares with colts, and I rigged up a white top buggy, filled the box with food and clothing, and a bed on top of everything, put in my five little children and on the fifteenth of September 1884 we started out.
When we reached Curlew Valley it snowed so we stayed three days at my brother's. After leaving my brother's we camped at night. I gave the children their supper then told them stories until they went to sleep.
My oldest daughter asked me recently if I remembered how the wolves howled around our camp when we were going back to Idaho to save our homestead. She said, "I think they were trying to get the colts." It was such a dreary lonely place and she was afraid of their mournful howl, but when she would mention that I would only say, "It's nothing but coyotes," and go on with the story. She thought that if I was not afraid it was all right. She says I taught her the greatest psychology in her childhood she has ever learned. "If it is anything bad the Lord won't let it hurt you. If it is anything good it won't hurt you, so don't be afraid of anything."
Other years when crops failed I started out with a team and covered wagon in the autumn, going twenty miles on one side and seventy on the other to buy and trade provisions. Once on my last trip I was overtaken by a storm. I never crossed bridges until I got to them. I had an extra horse tied beside the team. He got frightened at one of the frail bridges and crowded the team so one wheel slipped off into the mire at Marshaw Creek, ten miles west of Pocatello. The team just could not pull it out even after I had unloaded all the wheat, flour and supplies. I unhitched and fed them and we got up into the wagon to eat our lunch. I always took one of the older and one of the younger children with me. They kept us company and were a great comfort. "We can't stay here all night," said the older child, "What will we do?"
"No one can cross the bridge until they help us out," I answered, and before we had finished our lunch, one of the finest big teams I had ever seen came along. There were two big strong men in the wagon. They had to unhitch and help us out, but then they went on without even offering to help load the sacks of wheat back into the wagon. I managed it someway and was soon on the road rejoicing in our winter's supply of provisions.

The above document was given to the LDS Church

of San Diego, California in October of 1977.
It seems too good to be true that each of the segments of this document was written by a different person; it's more likely that Mary Ella wrote it herself incorporating various elements of her family's history into it. If this is what she did--as nearly as can be discovered--everything is as authentic as if the segments were written by the actual participants, so it's a genuine mystery.
Perhaps she wrote it to sell for publication in a magazine. Anti-German sentiment at that time may have influenced her adoption of a pen-name, transforming Kohlhepp to Koleb. The Salt Lake City directories list George A. and Mary Ella Martineau as living at 270 Vine Street between the years 1933 and 1938.

Fashion can be so much more than just statements of beauty and that's what these UK design students had in mind when they created this convertible jacket that doubles as shelter for families escaping war and genocide around the world.
Millions of people are facing the horrific realities of having to leave everything behind and find shelter in far-away places, often with young children. This jacket is made of tyvek which is affordable to produce and converts into a tent that can sleep a small family!
Fashion often only focuses on solving wardrobe needs. This garment shows the thoughtfulness designers can apply to helping people in need.
Fed By Threads is the first sweatshop-free multi-brand sustainable American-made custom print business that feeds Americans in need from each garment sold.
THIS is An Example Of Humanity At It's Best! Sadhu, Young Brits, SADHU!

The Reading List We Need
September 8, 2013 will mark the one-year anniversary of the death of Thomas Szasz. For more than fifty years the Hungarian psychiatrist argued tirelessly that "mental illness" was a harmful myth and a self-serving metaphor employed by the psychiatric industry to drum up business.
He wrote in The Myth of Mental Illness:
[My aim] is to suggest that the phenomena now called mental illnesses be looked at afresh and more simply, that they be removed from the category of illnesses, and that they be regarded as the expressions of man's struggle with the problem of how he should live.
He continued:
In contemporary social usage, the finding of mental illness is made by establishing a deviance in behavior from certain psychosocial, ethical or legal norms … This creates a situation in which it is claimed that psychosocial, ethical or legal deviations can be corrected by medical action. Since medical interventions are designed to remedy only medical problems, it is logically absurd to expect that they will help solve problems whose very existence has been defined and established on non-medical grounds.
There is nothing new about what we who are arguing against the DSM and the medical model of mental illness are saying. It has been said before, smartly and eloquently, and has fallen on deaf ears decade after decade. Our adversaries, the overreaching doctor and the compliant patient alike, are too numerous and too well placed to fight. When the doctor is happy prescribing and the patient is happy ingesting, what is a critic to do?
Perhaps one small step is to remember the wonderful minds that have championed this cause and to send folks to read them. There is Thomas Szasz and his many books; there is Jay Haley, whose "The Art of Being Schizophrenic" is a must read; there is the excellent Methods of Madness: The Mental Hospital as a Last Resort by Braginsky, Braginsky and Ring, now more than forty years old, but still sparkling. Perhaps somewhere there is a wonderful reading list where we could send those interested in "diagnostic alternatives" and the history of this crusade. But if such a reading list does not exist, it would be a blessing if someone created it.

Love to travel but hate to pack? Was that a resounding YES? Of course it was. Here are a few quick tips to make the packing process a little less daunting.
Plan ahead. Research the weather at your vacation destination for the dates of your travel. Ask your travel companion, if you have one, what they're packing. Make a list of essential items.
Check please. You'll feel very accomplished if you check off the items on your list as you get them out and place them on your bed. Be sure you've included clothing, toiletries, emergency sewing kit, medications, travel documents and other necessary travel accessories.
Paper or plastic? Keep your clothes from getting soiled by putting your shoes in plastic grocery bags. Traveling by air? Put toiletries in freezer bags and sandwich baggies. Cabin pressure can make shampoo explosive…yuck!
Look before you leap. Take a thoughtful look at your bed full of clothes and ask yourself a few questions. Do you really need all those outfits or could you do a little more mixing and matching? Will anyone care if you wear the same pajamas for a week? Are there free convenience items at your hotel?
Rock and roll. You will fit more in your suitcase and have fewer wrinkles if you roll your clothes instead of folding them (except for formal wear which you'll want to put in a garment bag).
One layer at a time. Time to load up the suitcase. Put shoes in first. Fill in any gaps with underwear and socks. Add layers of rolled clothing so that you can fit as much as possible in one suitcase. Put bags of toiletries and other items between the layers. Pack tight. Books can be packed in the outer compartments to create a shell-like protection.
Be safe and savvy. Check with your airline carrier prior to packing for updates on carryon items. Do not, I repeat, do not put any valuables in your checked luggage. Pack as if King Kong will be tossing your luggage off the Empire State Building and then kicking it all the way to your destination.
Get it when you get there. If there are any items you've forgotten, you most likely can purchase them when you get there or maybe do without for the week.

Everyone, meet the Byuns. Sook, Sarah, HaRim and Michael. These are some of the most wonderful friends that we've ever met, hailing from Incheon, South Korea. But sadly, they all flew home this past Saturday.
Well, everyone except for THIS guy.
Everyone, meet HaRim. The newest member of the West family. No, I'm not kidding. We have legal guardianship over this young soul for the next three months. AND WE ARE SO EXCITED!!!
Long story short, he and his family wanted him to have a more "American" experience, and give him the chance to work a little bit more on his English. So we've decided to let him move in until mid-January, take him everywhere we go, and treat him as if he were our own child. (Which meant he cooked us Korean dinner on Sunday night. Including sauteed anchovies, squid, and rice wrapped in seaweed. I win no awards for how I did with the anchovies on my plate).
I do want to leave you with this conversation between HaRim and Patrick on night #1:
Patrick (ordering at Chick-fil-A): I got a complikated order! Sekurity!
HaRim: I want to learn to talk like that.
Patrick: Like how?
HaRim: Like British people.
Patrick: That was ebonics.
In other news I punished Lucy today for eating out of the litter box.
That is all.


text: July 16, 2013 | Paula Randant | Leave a comment First, we congratulate Holly Lazzerini-Mathur on her election to the Big Board! The good energy of Illinois' ISCA will rub off on the national front. News Update: Urbana is about to send or first citizen diplomats to Haizhu District, Guangzhou City, People's Republic of China. Mayor Prussing, I , Chris Stohr and three others including another City Council person are hoping to strengthen our very new Sister City relationship with this, our first trip to China. In May last year a delegation from Haizhu visited Urbana for two days, and we signed an agreement of intent to develop a friendly relationship with Haizhu, which is also the home of Sun Yat-sen University. We have prepared a 16 page booklet on our sister city history which was translated into Chinese for this meeting. The real reason of this journey is to make a presentation about the $100,000.00 Sino-African Initiative tri-lateral grant Urbana is conducting under the guidance of SCI, and to invite Hauzhu District to participate. This may include travel by Hauzhu engineers and waste management staff from China to Zomba, Malawi, to help work on the solid waste collection and organic composting facility we are building there under this grant project. Then we will enjoy 1 1/2 weeks of sight-seeing in Shanghi, Xian, and Beijing. Meanwhile, see you at the state board meeting in late August. Dennis Roberts Urbana

The new James Bond movie, *Skyfall,*opens next Friday in the U.S., but is already playing in the U.K. and Iraq and Yemen and pretty much everywhere else around the world. Do the film's producers believe Americans are so civic-minded we couldn't possibly focus on frothy entertainment until after the election? Or is it just that Super-PACs have bought up all the TV advertising time in the crucial Toledo market? At any rate, I thought I'd get a jump by delving into Skyfall now with the help of my colleague in New Girl recappery, Juli Weiner, who also wrote the November VF cover story on Daniel Craig.
Warning: the following dialogue is a spoiler sandwich on spoiler sourdough with spoiler aioli and a side of house-made spoiler slaw. There will be a warning when it gets even more spoiler-y.
Bruce Handy: I'd like to start by asking about your overall take on the Bond "franchise." For me, 007 movies are so caught up in my having seen my first one, You Only Live Twice, when I was 11 and it being probably the greatest movie-going experience of my life in the sense of that movie being the perfect entertainment for exactly who I was at 11. Explosions! Chases! Sexy ladies! A freaky villain! Piranhas! For me, ever since, going to a Bond movie has been an attempt at recapturing that primal, Platonic movie-going experience. Some Bond movies are good and some less good, but they're always a disappointment. It's like Christmas: you're always mourning that it wasn't what it was when you were 5.
But my question to you is: what does Bond mean to a young woman in her early 20s?
__Juli____ Weiner:__ The short of it: I thought this was the best Bond movie I've seen. The long of it: I could not have a more different personal history than you. The first Bond I ever saw was. . . the GoldenEye Nintendo 64 game, which my brother received as a Chanukah or birthday present, and we played obsessively in my basement. I was about 10. I then watched the movies, starting with Pierce Brosnan's GoldenEye, and then went back and watched some classic Sean Connery and Roger Moore ones, probably to seem cool to guys I liked in middle school. (How do you like me now, boys?)
The first Bond movie I truly remember loving was actually Casino Royale, which is one of those movies like Ocean's 11, My Cousin Vinny, and All the President's Men that I am incapable of not watching to completion any time it is on TV. It's truly a fantastic and fun movie, I love Daniel Craig as Bond, and was thrilled to hear that Skyfall would have some of the same levity, self-awareness and sheer visual delight that made Casino Royale so fun and almost like a nouveau old Bond movie. And I think Skyfall met my expectations. It was absolutely gorgeous, at times very funny, nearly always a blast to watch, and genuinely exciting.
Bruce: My expectations regarding a new Bond movie are probably impossible to fulfill. It's like a tragic curse. But I agree that Skyfall was very good in many ways, another being Javier Bardem's excellent villain, Raoul Silva, a former Secret Service agent who's gone rogue and is played by Bardem in a Julian Assange wig with just the right amount of camp. My biggest issue with the film was that the plot was driven not by a scheme to start World War III or some stolen super-weapon but rather by mommy issues. Both Bond and Silva spend the whole movie working out their unresolved relationships with Judi Dench's M: the bad son wants to kill her; the good son wants to save her and win her love in the process. I'm glad the producers and director Sam Mendes are taking risks with 007, and I'd be bored of Bond if he was still be the same hammy 70s swinger that Roger Moore rode into the ground, but I don't want him to be a lost little boy with abandonment issues either!
Juli__:__ Huh! I guess I didn't view the conflict as particularly gendered; that is, I thought of it as two agents (one former) working through the considerable sphere of influence of their superior, who happens to be a woman. Then again, you do make a good point: Bond does call M "mum." Regarding Bond specifically, what do you think his mommy issues with M were?
Bruce: After he gets shot in the opening sequence while grappling with a subsidiary bad guy on top of a train—M has ordered another agent to try and kill the bad guy, knowing that she's putting Bond's life at risk as well--he goes away and sulks somewhere tropical for an indeterminate period, like a petulant teenager holing up in his room. Then, one night, he shows up in M's house, still angry and seeking an apology from her (which he doesn't get) but at the same time returning for duty. He's glaring at M, challenging her, but also wanting her to muss his hair and coo, "Aw, c'mere. It's okay, Jimmy." It's like a scene from a parenting manual: he's testing the boundaries of her love.
This is made more explicit when we learn that Bond was orphaned at a very young age and M pulled him off his high-class Scottish slagheap. "Orphans are often the best recruits," she says, so this wasn't just some kind of transference on Bond's part (or mine)—the film is telling us she was literally a substitute mother figure for him. And then, jumping further ahead–WARNING! WARNING! HERE COMES THE BIG BIG BIG SPOILER!--the climax of the movie has M dying in Bond's arms and saying (this is from memory), "Well some things I did turned out okay." Meaning Bond. It's her benediction to him. As to whether this was specifically gendered or not, I can't imagine that if Bernard Lee were still playing M he would have expired in Bond's arms with a sweet little gust of emotional closure on his dying lips. I'm surer that "closure" is not a word that should ever appear in a 007 review.
Juli: Yes, the orphan gambit was unfortunate. But I suppose if I were being generous, I would say that I think about Bond's characterization or "motivation" the way I think about, say, the motivation of Clark Kent or Spider-Man. Yeah, yeah, it's going to be some trite, easily dismissible psychoanalytic trope—but that's fine, because I actually don't really care. James Bond is essentially a superhero, and all superhero bildungsroman are banal. (Thanks a lot, Joseph Campbell.)
I was more disappointed that there was really no Bond girl proper. No Denise Richards, if you will. Berenice Marlohe was fine as Severine for the 10 minutes she was onscreen before she was shot in the head. And Naomie Harris's Eve was also. . . fine, I guess, though she wasn't Bond's sidekick very much, and I think that's always such a fun part of the movies.
Bruce: Not to sound like one of those guys in college who majors in women's studies as a seduction technique (I hope we don't ever see Bond try that) but I was offended that Harris was driving crazily into traffic and shooting off guns at the beginning of the movie like any secret agent and then at the end of the movie she decides it's just all too much and she'd really rather be a secretary now and we learn her last name is–ugh, groan--Moneypenny. I thought the movie was setting her up to be Bond's new partner/rival, like Peggy to Don on Mad Men, not some spinster desk jockey.
Juli: That again speaks to the Oedipal-ish overtones you talked about earlier. There is no woman that can be Bond's true equal/rival besides dear old Mum.
Bruce: One last thought: didn't you think Dame Fucking Judi Dench would do a better job of dying? She sort of fluttered her eyes then looked beatific, like she was dying on General Hospital. Maybe she was trying not to crack up?
__Juli____:__ Broader point: have you ever seen a good death in movies? Not a slowly-dying-of-a-terrible-disease death, but a violent, sudden-ish death.
Bruce__:__ I'm still fond of Goldfinger getting sucked out of the plane. Roger Moore exploding Yaphet Koto like a balloon in Live and Let Die was good, too, if sadistic. For non-Bond deaths, Bonnie and Clyde? The Wild Bunch? Janet Leigh in the shower?
__Juli____:__ Terminator 2!
__Bruce____:__ Does Ralphie Cifaretto on The Sopranos count?
__Juli____:__ Oh my God, I change my answer: Adriana in The Sopranos, hands down. Best and saddest death ever.
__Bruce____:__ Yes! Bond producers, if you're reading this: call David Chase now…

As usual on Friday, I'm sharing some of my favorite things! I hope you comment on what you're enjoying in the comments below. Happy Friday my friends!
Michael Kors Espadrilles. I found these last week while shopping but they sadly didn't have them in my size. I was so disappointed but wanted to share them with you anyways. They actually had them in a black and this one but I'm still on the look out for the black ones! Wish me luck.
WHEN Masks. I received this masks ( thanks BrandBacker ) and tried a few of them the other night. I tried the 10pm mask, Travelmate and GlamourBase. All the masks are made from high quality sheets of paper with ingredients that are infused onto the mask. They have 5 varieties from you to choose from and offer restoring, refreshing, soothing, pre makeup base or traveling. It's for WHEN you need it most. I loved the 10pm masks that helped refresh my dry skin when it needed it the most at night. I felt my skin just tingling and getting replenished while I had it on for 30 minutes. I'll be taking this Travelmate mask with me when I jet off to Germany and Austria this fall. I can't wait!
Detoxifying Valentia Clay Masks. Going along with our masks, I also tried this amazing detoxifying clay mask. I used this mask twice this week and absolutely loved it. The clay helps to detox and tighten my pores. It also has Vitamin C to help fight the sunlight and CoQ10 which helps with cell production. Knowing all these ingredients are working together to help fight off free radicals makes me feel great about using it. Plus, the smell is earthy and feels as if you're going into a big mud bath. It sounds gross but I promise you'll love it.
Mother's Day. Its been such a crazy last few weeks that I completely forgot that Mother's Day is Sunday! Our plans include just relaxing around the house and then going to a BBQ with friends. You've seen a lot on my Snapchat that we attend a lot of fun events like this with our friends but we love to entertain as well be with those we love, so you'll be enjoying a lot of those videos this weekend! I can't wait to celebrate a belated Mother's Day with my Mom when she visits at the end of the month!
Wishing you all a lovely weekend with your loved ones
Moms, best friends and family members!


text: Hobble Creek Campground Bridger Teton National Forest Kemmerer, WY 83101 United StatesWebsite(307) 877-4415Get DirectionsDetails WrapperDescriptionDescription The Hobble Creek Campground (7,300 feet elev.) is located 60 miles north of Kemmerer or 40 miles northeast of Cokeville, with a major portion of travel on gravel road. The campground is located on scenic Hobble Creek, which offers good fishing and abundant wildlife. Weekdays are generally quiet, with most visitor use occurring on the weekends. Lake Alice is a short 1 1/2-mile hike away. Lake Alice was created when a massive landslide peeled from the 9,325 foot Lake Mountain and dammed Poker Creek with a mile long pile of debris. The resulting lake is three miles long and over 200 feet deep. Because the lake's outlet flows below the surface through the natural dam, the fish population has been isolated. Bonneville Cutthroat Trout are the only fish species in the lake. No other species have been introduced. Kemmerer Ranger District 307-877-4415.

Welcome to Granny's Confections
Granny taught us many things about making great confections, but there are three that we live by every day.
Our brittle is made with REAL Butter and PURE Vanilla Extract. No artificial colors or flavors. That's why it is so good.
Our Peanut Brittle was voted best brittle. Since then, we have introduced some other amazing brittle including Pecan Brittle, Cashew Brittle, Coconut Brittle, Peanut Jalapeno Brittle and Almond Brittle.
Granny's Confections was featured on Fox 2 News as part of the Buy Michigan Now 10 year Anniversary. The News Anchor Jay Tower tried our brittle and his response was priceless. Check out the video. And, for the record, our brittle really is that good! Click here to see the video!

As soon as your child starts their school life at Southfield Park Primary School, all parents and carers become members of 'The Friends of Southfield Park'. This is the "PTA" for the school and is run by a small committee who meet regularly to plan events and raise funds. We hold regular meetings, some formal (because we have to!), but mainly very informal, to discuss upcoming events, fund raising ideas, etc., so please come along.
Over the years the funds we have raised have supplied lots of things for our school, such as stage lights and a PA system for the hall, sound equipment for the drama studio, scooter racks, laptops and iPads, books for the library and much more.
We also provide regular funding for coaches for residential trips, equipment for the Gardening Club, Christmas Crackers for the children's Christmas Party and individual class donations which allow the teachers to purchase whatever they think their class need, like a new rug for their reading area or astroturf for the reception playground.
Fundraising is now more important than ever before, as school budgets are stretched. As your child/children go through the school, you can see that they will benefit in many different ways from the money we raise.
Our main annual fundraising events include:
- Summer Fair·Christmas Fair· Halloween Disco· Quiz Night
There are also a couple of ways that you can help raise funds for the school when doing online shopping.
We have signed up to "The Giving Machine" which is a charity cash back site giving a small percentage of your online spending with many of the most popular online retailers back to the Friends. This is all at no cost to you and to date we have around 50 people signed up and have raised over £850! Just go to http://www.thegivingmachine.co.uk/ and sign up, remembering to select "Southfield Park Primary School" as your cause (otherwise the cause of the week will get your cashback)!
We are also setup on "Yellow Moon", an online art & craft store full of great ideas for fun things to make, party bag fillers and much more. Anything you buy from the site will get 10% cashback for the school. Simply go to http://www.yellowmoon.org.uk. When you checkout, you'll be asked for a "Source Code" for the charity you want to give to, so you just need to put in our code which is SSO10114 (the third character is a letter "O", not zero!).
We are always looking for new members or helpers. Don't worry if you can't make it along to regular meetings or prefer not to be formally voted in; there are many events that we always need helpers with. If you would rather not get involved at all that's fine too but you'll still be able to support the fundraising events. Such as coming along to the Christmas and Summer fairs or supporting our Mufti days or donating Jolly Jars.
We also get the children to design their own Christmas cards at Christmas along with other little gifts. We also have T-shirts for the house colours for Sports day and other house events. There really are lots of ways to get involved and lots of great things going on.
For details about our upcoming events, please look out for information in the school weekly newsletter. We also regularly update our Facebook page "Friends of Southfield Park Primary", so "Like" us to get the latest news!
If you fancy getting more involved, please get in touch. Contact details are in the header above, or you can speak to one of the committee members if you see them around school.
The current committee, as at 23/06/2016, includes:
|Emma Kirk (joint chair)
|Angela Howarth (joint chair)
|Sarah Bertolone (Vice Chair)
Gail Dean (Treasurer)
Sam Lynch (Secretary)
|Diana Coen
|Katia Mirampita
|Marie O'Farrell
|Jaqueline Mayston
|Monika Heritage
|Catherine Neary
|Amiee Howard-Tuck
|Katherine Lins
|Rachel Nicolau
|Marit Lawson

We look forward to working with you all to support our fantastic school!

4 Family Law Selection Tips
The family is the basic unit of all societies. There are a lot of structural mechanisms that exist in a family to maintain good relations between family members. When it comes to settling disputes, there is no clear law that dictates how each family should solve its domestic affairs. In the legal field however, the main stages of the family institution are well defined. There are legal processes that guide marriage, divorce, domestic conflict among other things. These are some of the things which necessitate the ideal to have a family legal practitioner. Family law acts as insurance for things that may happen in the family. Here are a couple of family law selection tips.
Analyze your needs
The first and most important step when you want to choose a family lawyer is to put down all your requirements. You need to ask yourself exactly why you need to have the services. The issues here can be general or specific. If it is a requirement in the country you reside in for instance, then you definitely need to follow the procedure. If you feel that you need a lawyer for a couple of reasons, make sure that you have a clear list of all the things that you need your lawyer to address. Lawyers also cater for non-marital affairs which affect the family. This should be taken into consideration as well.
Know the kind of lawyer you need
There are different types of law practitioners who have different modes of operation. Some lawyers have a professional relationship with you while others prefer to be close to your personal affairs. Whichever the case, you need to choose a lawyer who you will be comfortable with and who will totally meet your expectations. Sometimes it is very beneficial to have a lawyer who is already close to your family or whom you have had some form of engagement with before. This makes it easier for them to understand your needs.
Inquire from friends and family
It is very important to have insights from people you are close to when you are choosing a family lawyer. These people can give you their experiences as well as act as a link to good professionals. From such inquiries, you can be able to understand how the relationships between family lawyers and their clients are. If you are a couple and you are getting legal family services for the first time, you will find this tip to be particularly beneficial.
Other considerations
There are a number of other things that you might find to be important when you are choosing a family lawyer. Things like the cost of different lawyers is necessary to make your budget. It is also important to take some time to get acquainted with the legal basics as well. Understanding the relationship between the family, legal practitioners and the state can be of great benefit.
Much of the information that you may need is easily accessible on various platforms. With these family law selection tips, you are definitely in a better position to make the right decisions.

When the report calculates the various sections it only looks at the posted gifts for the revenue. It removes the pledge payments from the posted gifts. Thus the pledges are not included from the pledge posting nor from the pledge payments. The only way to manage the reconciliation properly is to use a different account for pledge revenue.
If you have already set up the accounts, then you will need to add a new account to the Master Chart to represent the pledge income, build the account for the funds, add the appropriate account in the fund class defaults and then make journal entries to reclass the posted pledge revenue from the gift income account to the new pledge account.

Vokera Syntesi 29e - Non-return valve 10023569 replacement
Vokera Syntesi 29e - pressure is low and a filling loop doesn't work to top up the pressure
- Isolate a cold water supply to the boiler

- Clear the debris
- If necessary replace the check valve
- The part number is Vokera Non Return Valve 10023569

Vokera Sabre 25HE - Boiler quickly loosing pressure
The boiler keeps loosing pressure up to 0 within 3 hours.
Boiler manual in PDF
Pressure relief valve (PRV) is letting by. How to check? Top up the pressure up to 1 bar by opening a filling loop and then have a look at the pressure discharge pipe termination if its dripping or not. If its dripping with pressure gauge readings up to 3 bars then the PRV need replacement. The part number is 10025055 and you can order it here.
Expansion vessel has lost its charge or diaphragm has split. How to check? Find the expansion vessel at the back of the boiler and push a nipple down. If there is a water coming instead of air then the expansion vessel need replacement. Due to incontinent design of this model its easier to fit an external expansion vessel 8 litres. Undercharged expansion vessel can be checked by turning the heating on and observing the pressure - it should shoot up to 3 bars and PRV starts discharging excessive water.
Its also worth to check a radiator valves for leaks - its a very common reason.

Design 481 - Crocheted Owl Wall Hanging 10 1/2 x 21 inches.
Design 672 - Crocheted Pillow in two sizes. A shell stitch beauty, the pillow and owl are worked separately and joined. Do you see the resemblance between these two .... yep, same owl. This is very frequent with mail order patterns; variations of the same design.
Design 496 - Crocheted Hot Plate Mat in two sizes - 9 x 11 and 7 x 8. I've no doubt you could also attach a hook to the back and create colorful kitchen wall hangings with these as well.
Are there more? Of course there are. And, as I get them reworked for the shop, I'll come back and add them in.
Thanks for dropping by,
