Hilbert To Receive $150,000 Grant From The John R. Oishei Foundation
- Release Date:
- July 12, 2013
- Contact:
- Matt Heidt, firstname.lastname@example.com
- 716-926-8792
HAMBURG, N.Y. – Hilbert College will receive a $150,000 grant from The John R. Oishei Foundation. The grant is payable over two years and will support the addition of Hilbert's new Business Management degree through Hilbert's Center for Adult and Graduate Studies, which was also established with Oishei support in 2010.
The John R. Oishei Foundation strives to be a catalyst for change to enhance economic vitality and the quality of life for the Buffalo Niagara region. The Foundation was established in 1940 by John R. Oishei, founder of Trico Products Corporation.
"The John R. Oishei Foundation's past support was essential to Hilbert's success in the creation of the Center for Adult and Graduate Studies," Cynthia Zane, Ed.D., president of Hilbert College said. "This grant builds on the previous investment and provides opportunities to further prepare our non-traditional students for their careers. This would not be possible without the unparalleled commitment and generosity of The John R. Oishei Foundation."
The Directors of the Foundation were impressed with the potential of Hilbert's new Business Management degree to benefit the unique needs of the adult learner, who requires a college experience that is flexible and directly related to employment opportunities.
Hilbert's Center for Adult and Graduate Studies has seen the development and implementation of graduate programs in Public Administration and Criminal Justice Administration since 2010. Hilbert College conferred master's degrees for the first time in its history during the 2013 commencement this past May. Other new initiatives to the Center for Adult and Graduate Studies include: a one week graduate student study away program in Budapest, Hungary, a collaboration with Baker Victory Services known as the Residential Administrative Mentoring Program (RAMP), and a partnership with the Hamburg Chamber of Commerce - Better Your Business Speaker Series hosted at Hilbert College.
Hilbert College, located in suburban Hamburg, N.Y., south of Buffalo, is a private four-year college founded in 1957 in the Catholic Franciscan tradition. With nearly 1,100 students, Hilbert is a dynamic Western New York college that offers career-focused majors, including one of the top criminal justice programs in the region, and more than 50 minors and concentrations. The college's engaging, student-centered campus community offers numerous leadership, internship, and service learning opportunities from which students launch successful careers while making positive changes in their communities. The Hilbert Blueprint promotes a well-rounded student experience over four years – starting with the Foundations Seminar in the freshman year, followed by Sophomore Service, Junior Symposium, and culminating with the Senior Capstone. Hilbert has expanded its academic offerings with the college's first graduate programs and new Accelerated Degree Programs geared to adult learners.

Christmas light show set to open Friday
It's one week before Thanksgiving but there will be Christmas lights to check out this weekend.
The Arizona Christmas on the Farm will open to the public Friday night. It's a drive-thru holiday light experience that features seven million LED lights in a two-mile stretch. Stay in the car for warm, comfy viewing or enjoy a hayride.
The hayride route features arches, tunnels and animated features.
"I like the penguin and Eskimo display, which this year is located toward the end," said event spokeswoman Julie Miles. "And I enjoy the tunnels and arches, of course."
The event expands to include Santa's Village on Nov. 30.
"What you'll be able to do there is a carnival, concessions, a trail of lights, pictures with Santa, a petting zoo and lots of fun activities for children," said Miles.
Arizona Christmas on the Farm is located at the Phoenix Events Center on 99th Avenue north of the Loop 101.
Santa's Village will be open Friday, Saturday and Sunday nights, while the light show will be every night, including Christmas, through Jan. 6. For more information, go to azchristmasonthefarm.com.

Like many other sites, Google uses robots.txt files to prevent search engines from indexing some of the content from google.com. In most cases, Google includes search results pages and other pages generated automatically, which would pollute indexes.
But sometimes Google excludes useful content, either directly using robots.txt files or using addresses that are difficult to index:
* published documents, spreadsheets and presentations from Google Docs - I suspect that the main reason why search engines aren't allowed to index Google Docs pages is that many documents would become public if search engines indexed invitation URLs.
* public pages for Google Reader's shared items - most of the content from these pages is copied from other pages, but Google Notebooks can be indexed by search engines.
* the albums and the photos hosted by Picasa Web Albums (the photos are indexed by Google Image Search, while the albums are included in Google's main search results). Picasa Web's front-end uses AJAX and URLs like http://picasaweb.google.com/guedin/AdriChezLesKiwisToutesLesPhotos12#5312778271091234418 can't be indexed by search engines, which usually remove fragments.
* the answers and questions from Google Moderator, another AJAX app that uses addresses like http://moderator.appspot.com/#15/e=cc&t=6. The application powers a new section from White House's website called "Open for Questions", which also can't be indexed by search engines.
* the LIFE photo archive, which is only available in Google Image Search. "It's disappointing that Google gets exclusive access to index these images and every other search engine is out of luck. Exclusivity like this doesn't seem in line with Google's philosophy," says Andy Baio.
* the books scanned by Google that are available in Google Book Search (they're included in Google's main search results, as part of Universal Search)
* the patents from the United States Patent and Trademark Office that are available in Google Patent Search

A longtime Aiken City planner has vacated her position to pursue a new business.
Rachel d'Entremont served as a city planner for approximately 14 years as well as on several commissions and committees before taking the job. She's now establishing her own photographic home inventory business.
The new business, For the Record Inventories, is something d'Entremont has been wanting to do for some time. Not only does she have a strong interest in this niche field, but d'Entremont wanted some flexibility in her schedule to visit family including her daughter in California and her son who is currently residing in Switzerland.
Though she's quite excited for her new endeavor, d'Entremont said she will miss her coworkers and the job itself.
"I will miss working with an extremely talented department. The planning department people are top notch," d'Entremont said. "I will also miss having a thumb in the development of the community."
Originally from Syracuse, N.Y., d'Entremont moved to Aiken in 1980. She served on the Annexation Study Committee and chaired the Growth Strategies Committee, which was a subcommittee of the City's Strategic Plan. She was involved in the rewrite of the zoning ordinance and was on the Planning Commission for several years.
She said that during her tenure, d'Entremont has been pleased with how some of the projects around the City turned out such as the Shoppes at Whiskey which changed plans to preserve more trees and include larger areas of green space.
As for her prospective new business, d'Entremont said that many people plan to take pictures of their belongings in case of a burglary or fire for insurance purposes, but some unfortunately wait until it's too late.
She said that a collection of photos from one's property could also become a family heirloom. Her great grandparents conducted an inventory in their own home in 1911 and d'Entremont said that it's fascinating to find items that were handed down to her in those photographs.
Even though this new home-based business will make traveling a lot easier for d'Entremont, she is planning to continue residing in Aiken.
"I love Aiken. This is where I've been my whole adult life after college, and it's just the greatest place to live," d'Entremont said. "It's home."
For more information on d'Entremont's new business, email firstname.lastname@example.com.

When I visited church last I encountered a sermon where we was told we are responsible for 35,000 people a day pouring into hell because of the people who have not even heard the name of Christ. Of course then we can help by giving him money.
Quote from: Paul Hazelwood on December 30, 2008, 04:15:25 PMWhen I visited church last I encountered a sermon where we was told we are responsible for 35,000 people a day pouring into hell because of the people who have not even heard the name of Christ. Of course then we can help by giving him money.Holy smokes, Paul. No pun intended.
All we like sheep have turned away. Each of us has turned to his own way. Yet the Lord has laid upon Him the iniquity of us all....He shall see the fruit of the travail of His soul and shall be satisfied.....the pleasure of the Lord shall prosper in His hand... (Isaiah 53)
My last day in organized religion (I only went to churches about 2 years all totaled for fellowship), was when the pastor spoke about the "rapture" endlessly, which I know from the Lord, is a misinterpreted doctrine. I asked, in my mind, not expecting an answer right then, "Oh, LORD! Where can I go to be fed?"I heard, plain as day; "On the mountaintop!" It's in Isaiah. I got up and walked out and never went back. Had I asked Him about the endless torture, I probably would have heard something similar. So yes, I would have walked out, too. Blessings....
I do have a different take on hell than either them (ET'ers) or this board.
- We've earned an eternity in Hell? We came to the end of the year and that's what's in our package? Golly. Can I get an exchange? Is it still within the 7 day exchange policy?- Isn't that why God created marriage? Just pray that God actually gives me an ol' ball and chain if that's what I really deserve! (And I can hear the ladies sarcastically saying "Isn't he a sweetheart?!!" But women have to be able to put up with the men for the rest of their lives too, so it goes both ways.)- Sooo....God's in the process of giving the devil his own kingdom too?? I thought only His Son could have one! Golly. Talk about no respecter of persons.- Sooo....if God's in the process of giving the devil his own eternal kingdom as well, then how is Mormonism wrong when it says that Jesus and Lucifer are brothers? Isn't that the forced scenario of your paradigm??- You don't even know me. How can you say that I deserve an eternity in Hell? Maybe I deserve dinner at Chili's instead.- I deserve an eternity in Hell? Isn't that why God has me listening to your sermons? Isn't that why I'm in your church??- I thought that that was why God created traffic!- Sooo, you're saying that I'd have more hope as an atheist...- So that's how God treats His enemies after all of that stuff that Jesus preached? HYPOCRITE!!- So, if I love, fast, and pray for my enemies and God hates His, can I have the throne instead?- So, you're saying that when we no longer have our bodies and we're who we really are without any of the pretenses that God is Who He really is without all of the pretenses of your religion? And He's better than Hitler how??- Isn't our choice of eternal heaven or eternal hell the equivalent of an irresponsible parent giving a todler a machine gun, knowing that kid's about to put it in his mouth??- If heaven and hell are our choice, then didn't Christ die in vain? I mean, I thought that heaven is supposed to be what He was choosing for all of us and now you're saying that God won't honor that sacrifice where everyone is concerned without their joint-participation in that sacrifice. If that's the case, then how is Christianity better than 613 commandment Judaism where you have to sign on the bottomline for the package of God's blessings?- Golly. The Blood of Christ is only slightly better than the blood of bulls and goats. I mean it's still measureable. Doesn't have universal application except in this brief life time. And how am I the one that's the blasphemer?- So, if you're saying that ultimately my choice is more important than the Blood of Christ 'cause afterall, according to you, the Blood's powerless without my choice, - if this is really what you're saying - then how am I the idolater, blasphemer, and the one filled with self love? You just claimed that I'm the god who is more powerful than Christ's Blood! No, no, no, you can't take it back now. Bow before me!

Strands of colored beads can be used to soften a stark window rather than to provide warmth or protect privacy. Adding beads to your window automatically creates an avaunt-guard vibe to your room. Graber 3/4 Inch Tradition Cafe Rods are perfect for this project. Since 1939 Graber has been a leader in the drapery hardware and curtain rod business. They make quality hardware at competitive prices.
DIY beaded curtains will give a traditional lace covered window a modern, fanciful look. What better place to drift off to sleep than in a dreamy ethereal bedroom with the moonlight creating prisms of jewel toned colors across your bed?
Extend the glassy theme onto a windowsill arrangement with decorative glasses and bottles. The rainbow of colors in the glass beads has a definite magical feel and will transform an otherwise plain and stark window into something more ethereal.
Creating your beaded curtains is easier than you think. Follow these easy steps and transform your space into the place of your dreams.
*Shop for beads of different sizes and shapes, as well as clear beading string or fishing line.
* Measure the length of the window to determine the length of your string.
*String beads using a combination of larger and smaller beads and tie off the opposite end when finished.
*Repeat the process with different pieces of string and attach to the curtain rod.
*Measure 2 inches above the window on the left corner and mark the location with a pencil. Measure 2 inches up from the right corner and mark the location on the wall.
*Holding the beaded curtain rod above the widow, center it so it overhangs evenly on each side of the frame. Line the rod up so the top of the rod sits on the pencil marks.
*Mark the mounting holes on the rod.
*Drill a starter hole in each of the marked hanger holes.
*Screw the brackets into the starter holes. Adjust them until their bases sit flush to the wall and the hook opening is facing upward. Slide the curtain rod over the hooks to hang it.
*Sit back and surround yourself with swirling bits of color.
Continental Window Fashions is proud to present the Graber collection. With free shipping orders of $100 or more and 9am – 5pm customer support, Monday – Friday, Continental Widow Fashions strives to make your ordering experience as simple as possible.

Wind: 3 mph
To The Editor:
A bit of recent history regarding Waitsfield town office voting: Vermont statutes regarding municipal bonding are specific as to process, timing, amount of borrowing permitted, extending even to the wording of article(s) in a bond vote. Requirements regarding wording make it very difficult to offer voters a choice between options. For this reason plus general voter concern with project expenses, the first bond vote addressed only the Farm Stand site, it being the lowest cost option and offering other merits.
Following the bond vote outcome, a limited time is available for reconsideration. During this period, any party may come forth with a petition calling for another vote or presenting other options addressing the original subject.
A question arose, after the Farm Stand proposal vote, why the church option was not offered as "next in line." The process requires that a potential petitioner step up and do so, and the answer is the church support group did not step up. When the opportunity presented itself, the church group did not act in its own behalf.
In contrast, a group of citizens seeking to resolve the town office relocation issue and concerned with time limits and possible loss of potential major flood recovery assistance, opted to move the project forward. Volunteers – all unpaid – assembled, including architectural design and legal services. Both the Farm Stand and church projects were modified, resulting in cost reduction of $300,000 for each option. Despite difficulties posed by statutory requirements, the group felt voters should have a choice and worded the petition to enable this choice. That wording was challenged and conflicting legal opinions exchanged. An attorney hired by the town ultimately concluded it was not possible to word a petition enabling a choice – only one option can be offered, with a yes or no answer.
The town submitted an application for flood recovery assistance. It anticipates presenting another bond vote. At its Monday meeting, the select board formed a committee to survey community opinion regarding choice of sites and other factors – plans are to mail a questionnaire. Waitsfield voters are urged to respond – let's work together toward achieving this long-standing goal of relocating our town office.

Rated 1 out of 5�by Catherine The color of the jacket is totally different from the photo I am totally disappointed with this jacket as the actual color is like that of the fire worker's or the street worker's bright orange color, nothing "clown fish". I bought this jacket and the short in the same color it turns out both of them are the vivid orange. This is the first time I bought bebe sport it totally turns me off I will not shop bebe sport again, it's a return! I am a gold member bebe has never let me down, but this time it did. June 29, 2013
Rated 1 out of 5�by Tona SO DISAPPOINTED! The color in not what you see online; it's an intense traffic cone type of orange! Also, the zipper was not working right and there were loose threads hanging from the jacket. Awful quality! I own this jacket in 21 colors (plus multiples in black and white) and this has never happened before. It's a return! June 26, 2013

Quanah Parker was an important Comanche chief, a leader in the Native American Church, and the last leader of the powerful Quahadi band before they surrendered their battle of the Great Plains. With five wives and 25 children, Quanah had numerous descendants. Many people in Texas and Oklahoma claim him as an ancestor. S.C. Gwynne recently published a book on Quanah Parker, and is giving a lecture on him at the museum on April 5. Here is part 1 of my blog on Quanah Parker.
Sometime in 1848, a baby boy was born in a tipi near the Wichita Mountains in what is now southwestern Oklahoma. His name was Quanah Parker. His mother, Cynthia Ann Parker, had been abducted by Comanche raiders in 1836. His father, Peta Nocona, was a powerful war chief of the Quahadi band, one of five bands that made up the Comanche nation. The Quahadi roamed the headstreams of the Colorado, Brazos and Red Rivers in Northwest Texas.

This is Quanah's story, and that of his people, both the Comanche and the Anglo settlers in Texas. It is based on a book by S. C. Gwynne, entitled Empire of the Summer Moon. An in-depth interview with the author, conducted in the summer of 2010 can be heard here.
Over the last four centuries, the Comanche nation in general and Quanah Parker in particular exerted a huge influence on the history of the Plains, providing answers to questions such as:
• Why were the East and West Coasts settled by people of European descent before the central portion of North America?
• What are the roots of Texas' history?
• When, why and how did the Texas Rangers come into being?
• What is the story behind the five shot Colt revolvers?
When the Spanish arrived in the Americas, they re-introduced horses, long gone from this part of the world. They also brought with them firearms. This combination of horse and firepower created profound changes in North American Indian societies. The first known herd of horses to arrive in what is now the United States was brought in with Don Juan de Oñate in 1598. It did not take long before the Apaches mastered horse riding. This made them better hunters and gave them much greater mobility as raiders of agricultural settlements in New Mexico. Those raids started as early as the 1650s. It was a way of life that would culminate in the life of Geronimo. From then on, horses were the principal form of wealth on the Plains.
The Comanches were one of the first Plains Indian Nations to obtain horses. They became America's most accomplished horsemen.
George Catlin commented on their prowess in the following way:
"Amongst their feats of riding there is one that has astonished me more than anything of the kind I have ever seen or expect to see in my life: – a stratagem of war, learned and practiced by every young man in the tribe; by which he is able to drop his body on the side of his horse at the instant he is passing, effectively screened from his enemies' weapons, as he lays in a horizontal position behind the body of his horse, with his heel hanging over the horse's back… in this wonderful condition, he will hang whilst his horse is at fullest speed, carrying with him his bow and shield and also his long lance 14 feet in length."
Here is how Catlin illustrated this:
|Comanche Feats of Horsemanship, George Catlin 1834-1835.
Smithsonian American Art Museum, Gift of Mrs. Joseph Harrison, Jr.
In 1836 the world of the Comanches and that of Anglo settlers clashed at Fort Parker. The Parker family had moved from Illinois to Texas in 1833 and settled on land granted to them by Mexico. By 1835, on the eve of Texas' independence, about two dozen people representing six Parker families had built a one-acre fort, located about two miles (3 km) west of present-day Groesbeck.
|Fort Parker. Image courtesy of Texsbeyondhistory.net
This fort was situated on the western edge of the frontier. There were no Anglo settlements to the west. Gwynne notes:
"Between Parker's Fort and Mexican California stood Santa Fe and the small, scattered settlements of New Mexico. [T]he fort was so far beyond the ordinary line of settlements that there were hardly any people behind it either. [Emphasis his]) (Gwynne 2010:14).
At this point in time, Texas was the only place where whites and Plains Indians met. Oklahoma was a place where the tribes of the South and the middle-Atlantic states were forcibly relocated to. North of Oklahoma, part of what would become Kansas, Nebraska and the Dakotas had not been reached yet by white settlers.
On May 19, 1836, a band of about 100 Comanche Indians rode up to the fort. They attacked the fort, killing five of its occupants before riding off with two women and three children. Among the children was nine year old Cynthia Ann. The survivors struggled to make it Fort Houston, near modern-day Palestine, Texas (Gwynne 2010:18).
Cynthia Ann survived, and was treated comparatively humanely, possibly because of the presence of a warrior by the name of Peta Nocona. He would later become her husband and war chief (Gwynne 2010:37).
Attempts on the part of her family to locate Cynthia Ann were unsuccessful. However, Leonard H. Williams, an Indian agent dispatched by the US government in 1846 did manage to find her in what is now Oklahoma. His attempt to purchase her freedom met with refusal from the tribe and Cynthia Ann's as well (Gwynne 2010:107-108).
Quanah Parker was born two years later, the oldest of three children. As son of a powerful war chief, Quanah led a privileged life growing up among the Comanches. All this changed when he was twelve. In 1860, Peta Nocona led a bloody raid against the frontier. This resulted in the abandonment of hundreds of farms in the area, but also the raising of a posse by a man named Charles Goodnight (Gwynne 2010:173).
Charles Goodnight,
Goodnight tracked Nocona and his fellow raiders, as well as the 150 horses they had stolen. He followed them to a village well inside Comanche territory. Realizing that they were outnumbered the posse returned and organized a full-scale expedition against the village. Forty Rangers, twenty-one army soldiers and about seventy local volunteers left Fort Belknap on December 13, 1860. They were commanded by Sul Ross, at age twenty three already a veteran of the conflict with the Indians (Gwynne 2010:174). Six days later, they reached the village and attacked. Most of the warriors were killed, as were some of the women.
The battle ended with a brief running fight: Ross and another soldier pursued three Indians who had fled on horses. In the ensuing fight, one of the fleeing Indians was killed. He was later identified as Peta Nocona (Gwynne 2010: 177). The others were Cynthia Ann and a child, the son of another white girl who had been abducted by the Comanches and married an Indian (Gwynne 2010:178).
During the attack, Cynthia's two sons, Quanah and "Grassnut" were separated from their mother. They would never see her again. Cynthia was taken back to Fort Belknap, much against her will. There she recounted her story. Eventually, she was moved from one family member to another but she never quite re-adjusted to Anglo society (Gwynne 2010: 181-193).
The two brothers not only escaped, but managed to make it to a Comanche camp some 100 miles west (Gwynne 2010:195). Quanah's social status completely changed. He was now an orphan, his father killed, and his mother taken by the army. Moreover, within a year or so, his brother also died. At age 13, Quanah Parker had to stand up for himself, often being treated more cruelly than other orphans on account of his white blood (Gwynne 2010: 199).
Make sure you check out S.C. Gwynne's lecture on the Comanche on April 5, 2011 at the museum.
The museum's Plains Indian collection is quite extensive; at its core is the Gordon W. Smith collection, which the museum acquired in 2008. For more information, see here.
Anyone interested in the history of Texas, and its close connection to the history of the Comanches, check out our exhibit on Texas!, on display now at the museum.
Check back next week to learn more about Quanah Parker.

Whenever I make bread I feel like a Pioneer Woman, rising early in the morning (well, okay, not too early, and sometimes bread I had planned to bake for lunch is actually ready for dinner!), measuring, kneading, rolling, baking. Now, this is never necessary as I live in the Land of the Boulangerie. I can step out of our apartment building and walk 2 minutes in any direction and find a shop filled with baguettes, ficelles, flûtes, batards, boules and miches. Plain, sweet, whole wheat or multi-grain. And throw in a couple of pains au chocolat and a slice of flan to boot. So why do I bake? It is most definitely time consuming, not always cheaper than buying a loaf at the bakery even in these times of rising prices. I sometimes have to scramble around town hunting down familiar ingredients for a particular bread I have a craving for or simply suffer the headache of trying to imagine what everyone will happily eat.
I had gotten into the habit a few years ago of making a simple dough for homemade pizza, which we now have regularly for Pizza Night and the occasional focaccia. For a couple of years I baked a fresh egg Challah every Friday night for the Sabbath, trying different recipes until I had found the one I liked the best, and creating a wonderful sweet version for the New Year. But that was basically my bread baking experience. Yeast baking always made me nervous and I just always doubted my ability to do anything else.
Thus my passion for these food blogger on-line bread and yeast baking challenges. It's like an epiphany! I make myself pull out the cookbooks and pull out the flour and yeast and jump right in. It's like gathering up the courage to jump into a swimming pool or lake knowing that the water is icy cold, yet knowing that if you just go for it full speed ahead, cannonball, then you warm up almost immediately. After a mere few months, I feel so comfortable experimenting, confident in my ability and getting excellent results every time. I still have a way to go before my breads are perfect and there are still some things that I find a bit too daunting yet, but thanks to the food blog challenges, I live my newfound passion to the fullest.
But why, you ask, do I bake? I skipped over the question, yet it all comes down to "Why take the trouble?" Because the simple pleasure of blending, the sensual pleasure of kneading, the enormous pleasure of watching dough rise and the pure gustatory pleasure of eating warm, fresh, soft bread, slathered with gently melting butter or my favorite jelly is worth any effort, time or cost, worth the dirty looks of an adolescent as he scoffs "baking again?!", worth the time spent chasing a small dog out from under my feet as he desperately tries to lick up as much flour as possible off the floor before being noticed (little does he realize just how much noise he makes!) and the beautiful breads, in the end, are worth the wonderful odor wafting through the house, worth the sighs of satisfaction and well-being of a proud and food-loving husband, worth the feeling of a job well done, and, well, basically, worth the eating!
Homemade bread is coziness in a crust, as comforting as your favorite, well-worn sweater, the food equivalent of curling up on the sofa, wrapped in a down comforter and watching your favorite movie. It is heartwarming and welcoming, it is both familiar and surprising. It is home.
For this week's Yeastspotting, a wonderful weekly challenge of all things yeast hosted by Susan of Wild Yeast, I have gone Italian! Grissini, often served as appetizers, are pencil-sized bread sticks, either thin and crispy or slightly thicker and tender. We all love these bread sticks, chomping them by the dozens, one after the other. They are wonderful wrapped in Speck or Bresaola, eaten with a mozzarella and tomato salad or dipped into any number of tasty sauces.
This is a classic focaccia recipe, rich with good olive oil, but I took the measurements and flavoring ideas from Laura Zavan's Mon Cours de Cuisine: Les Basiques Italiens. I made three different flavored Grissini: oregano, Parmesan and sesame seed. They came out golden brown on the outside and wonderfully tender on the inside, full of flavor and memories.
GRISSINI for Yeastspotting
Oregano, Sesame and Parmesan Bread Sticks
1.2 lbs (500 g) flour
2 packets (0.7 oz/ 20 g) active dry yeast
1 cup (250 ml) warm water, or as much as needed
6 Tbs good quality olive oil
2 tsps salt
1 Tbs sugar
Flavorings :
1 tsp dried oregano
1 heaping Tbs sesame seeds and a bit more for rolling
2 Tbs grated Parmesan cheese and a bit more for rolling
In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour and the salt.
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the sugar, yeast and half of the warm water and allow to rest for 15 minutes until the yeast is activated and is all frothy.
Add the rest of the warm water and the olive oil to the yeast mixture and stir well.
Add the liquid to the flour/salt and, using a wooden spoon, stir it all up until all of the flour is moistened. If you have pockets of dry flour, just add a little more warm water as needed. Remember, that once you begin the kneading process, if the dough is too wet or sticky you can correct it by kneading in more flour, but if the dough starts out too dry, there is not much you can do.
Once the flour is all moistened and it starts to pull together into a dough, turn it out of the bowl onto a lightly floured surface. Now knead for 5 – 8 minutes, as long as your arms hold out, flouring the work surface as needed (if the dough is a bit sticky or it sticks to the work surface). Knead until you have a smooth, homogenous dough.
With a very sharp knife, divide the dough into 3 equal pieces. Slightly flatten each piece and sprinkle one flavoring on each. Now knead until the flavoring is equally distributed throughout the piece of dough.
Place the 3 prepared balls of dough on an oiled (olive oil) baking pan or sheet, rolling each ball to coat lightly with oil. Cover the whole pan with plastic wrap and allow to rise for 1 hour until doubled in bulk.
After the first rise, working one dough at a time, gently knead for 30 seconds, then shape into a log. Slice the log into 10 or 12 equal pieces. Roll each piece into a long snake no thicker than ½ inch (1.5 cm), making them as long or as short as you like, but cutting them into 10 or 12 pieces, each stick should be about 7 or 8 inches (18 – 20 cm) long. Roll the pieces between your two palms like the way you used to make Play-doh snakes.
Continue with the other 2 balls of dough. Once I rolled out each Sesame-flavored Grissino, I then rolled or pressed it into more sesame seeds and as I rolled out each Parmesan-flavored Grissino I rolled/pressed it into extra grated Parmesan cheese.
Gently lay the Grissini onto a parchment-lined baking sheet or two, cover with plastic wrap again and allow to rest for 30 minutes.
Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
Bake each sheet of Grissini for about 15 minutes or until golden brown. As you can cut and roll out Grissini into any length or thickness you desire, just check and adjust baking times accordingly.
Remove the sheets of Grissini from the oven and allow to cool on cooling racks. These are best eaten fresh and warm. If you have any leftover, just gently reheat them in a hot oven.

I have this long played image of myself impressing company who "just happened" to pop by right when I pulling freshly baked dough out of the oven. It's like the quintessential perfect wife/mother/woman moment. Alas, yeast scares me and the closest I've come to freshly baked bread is biscuits from a can!

I just love the smell of fresh bread dough and fresh bread baking, it smells better than any pie or cake ever could. "Homemade bread is coziness in a crust" - well said, I love that.

Oh, Jamie! This was fabulous. I only make one bread - a simple white bread (milk dough) that I've perfected over the years. It's simple comfort food and one that people beg me for as if it's some great rarity. Bread making is primal and I haven't met anyone who can resist the smell of baking bread. Slathered with butter warm from the heaven and even the crustiest curmudgeon melts.
And, um, BTW, I've awarded you the The Bella Award. :)

I am so enjoying following your bread baking journey. And I have said this before, but I love the way you write about the why of it all. Great grissini -- now I'm inspired to put flavorings *in* the dough instead of just on it!
- May 21, 2009 at 9:14 AM
- Jamie said...
@ Susan/Wild Yeast - Thanks so much! Coming from you, the baking expert, that is such a compliment.
All of your great comments keep me going on this strange and wonderful journey and I am thrilled whenever you visit!
I do encourage all of you who haven't to try your hand at baking - patience (which I have very little of) and a lot of trial and error and you will be as happy as I am to bake!
@Connie - thank you my dear, wonderful friend. I will be accepting and ackowledging this wonderful award in a soon-to-be post :-)
@girlichef - no, these will not airmail, you will have to come here and get them yourself! Door is always open :-)

You have surpassed yourself Jamie ! I love grissini and will try this recipe.
Thank you.

Hi Jamie,
I missed a post? Soo glad I found it now!
Your grissini are neat. I understand why you bake, even though you have beautiful bread everywhere. It's such joy to make something beautiful that feeds ourselves, our creative soul, and those around us we love.

Just popped my Grissini in the oven, I'm drooling just waiting for them! Coming from an Italian family of bakers, all the old recipes like this were either memorized, or written in sizes fit for the bakery.; 1 gallon eggs, 10 lbs flour, etc. So excited to have found a recipe resembling the one my great aunt Olga made from memory, but never wrote down. Thanks!!

works great
I have rosecea and have been looking for a natural base that can cut down some of the redness without damaging my skin even more. When I ordered, I thought that there was going to be a larger pallet of makeup, so I am notsure how long I will use before running out. I really like theway it covers my redness and makes my skinllook smooth. It has a light scent, but I like that. I am impressed with this product, just wish you gotore for the price. I recommend.

Going into the field will be your best bet at learning any kind of new shot.by Ethan - General Discussion
I would say if you do not generate a lot of power behind your throw, then hyzer flipping a disc to roll it is not the way to go. You need to arch your back more and start your run up from the side of the tee (typical roller run-up). Its really strange to do at first but you will get used to it. I have a decent amount of power behind my throws and I have to get my rollers down pretty early. Iby Ethan - General Discussion

do you need just a chamberd blank with a big enough OD or the entire barrel profiled ??I'm asking in advance and not holding you to any answers.
But if you have any extra 16"+ barrels left I'd be interested in one for a PPSH41, I'll get some dimension, the main part that's the problem is a flange at the rear that's kind of large.
PM with your needs and Ill se what I got. I have been buying a few take offs of gunbroker but the blanks are not like they used to be in the Ebay days. Im going to do a few barrels and then as long as the reamer can still be used or resharpened ill be doing barrels if some one wants them and I can make a little on it to off set the costs.

Yo yo yo Bratzos!!
Sasha here! I had a howlin' Halloween!
My favorite part of Trick or Treating is that it's a total drama-rama smorgasbord! And I'm not talking about all the yummy candy. Nor am I referring to the cool costumes. I mean, Halloween rocks because it gives you a door-to-door buffet line of fun fashion possibilities!
Don't follow what I'm saying?
Here's a picture to help you get the picture!
Halloween hooks me up with all the candy (and candy wrappers!) I need to make sweet jewelry and purses! And you can make these confectionary fashion statements, too. It's totes easy peasy.
Here is a fabtastic blog I found on making Bratztastic bracelets:
If chunky jewelry isn't really your thing and your looking for a dramatic fashion statement, read this great blog on making boss bags from candy wrappers:
Everyone will be asking you where you got the look!
Remember, these fashion statements take some time to make, so you don't have to gorge on all your candy at once! Just chew as you go! Create as you salivate! It's too fab!!
Do you have any suggestions on any other fab fashions you can make from your Halloween swag?
Love ya lots!

Most people are aware of the fact that computers work using strings of 0s and 1s. But how do you write numbers using only those two symbols?
To see how, let's first remind ourselves of how the ordinary decimal way of writing numbers works. Let's take the number 4302 as an example. The digit 4 in this number doesn't stand for the number 4, rather it stands for 4000, or 4 x 1000. Similarly, 3 doesn't stand for 3 but for 300 = 3 x 100, 0 stands for 0 x 10, and 2 stands for 2 x 1. So 4302 means
4 x 1000 + 3 x 1000 + 0 x 10 + 2 x 1.
Similarly, 7396 stands for
7 x 1000 + 3 x 100 + 9 x 10 + 6 x 1.
What do the numbers 1000, 100, 10 and 1, which appear in these expressions, have in common? They are all powers of 10:
1000 = 103 100 = 102 10 = 101 1 = 100.
To write a number in decimal notation, you first write it as a sum of consecutive powers of 10 (with the largest power on the left) and then pull out the coefficients of these powers. We can do the same with powers of 2 rather than 10. For example, the binary number 110 stands for
1 x 22 + 1 x 21 + 0 x 20 = 4 + 2 +0 = 6 (written in decimal).
And the binary number 10001 stands for
1 x 24 + 0 x 23 + 0 x 22 + 0 x 21 + 1 x 20 = 16 + 0 + 0 + 0 + 1 = 17 (written in decimal).
You can convince yourself that a binary number only consists of the digits 0 or 1: when you write a number as a sum of consecutive powers of 2, no other coefficients are necessary.
This sorts out the natural numbers, but what about numbers that have a fractional part? To write a number between 0 and 1 in binary, you play the same game using powers of 1/2 instead of powers of 2. For example,
0.75 = 1/2 + 1/4 = 1 x 1/21+ 1 x 1/22.
In binary, 0.75 is written as 0.11. The binary number 0.1001 stands for the decimal number
1 x 1/21+ 0 x 1/22 + 0 x 1/23+ 1 x 1/24 = 1/2 + 1/16 =0.5625.

A perfect number is a natural number whose divisors add up to the number itself. The number 6 is a perfect example: the divisors of 6 are 1, 2 and 3 (we exclude 6 itself, that is, we only consider proper divisors) and
1+2+3 = 6.
If a non-perfect number were an animal, it might look something like this.
If you play around with numbers for a while you will see why people have always been so fond of perfect numbers: they are very rare. The next one after 6 is 28, then it's 496, and for the fourth perfect number we have to go all the way up to 8128. Throughout antiquity, and until well into the middle ages, those four were the only perfect numbers that were known. Today we still only know of 48 of them, even though there are fast computers to help us find them. The largest so far, discovered in January 2013, has over 34 million digits.
Will we ever find another one? We can't be sure — mathematicians believe that there are infinitely many perfect numbers, so the supply will never run out, but nobody has been able to prove this. It's one of the great mysteries of mathematics. You can find out more in Number mysteries.

In the process of writing an article on curvature we got entirely distracted by making a geogebra worksheet showing the tangent, normal and osculating circle to any smooth function. The meaning and mathematics of all these terms is revealed in this article, but if you fancy getting your hands dirty yourself, have a play with the worksheet below. Please post your favourite function as a comment – the curvier and wigglier the better!
You can use this geogebra worksheet to see the tangent, normal and osculating circle of any smooth curve you choose - just change the equation f(x) in the left-hand panel.

Bat country. Image designed by Gwen Fisher, engineered by Paul Brown. © Gwen Fisher.
These lucky people are climbing around a 22 feet (6.7 metres) tall structure composed of 384 softball bats, 130 soft balls and a couple of thousand pounds of steel. The structure represents a Sierpinski tetrahedron: a fractal which has finite volume but infinite area. The image only shows an approximation of the fractal of course, as it would be impossible to make a full-on Sierpinski tetrahedon with its infinite intricacy, but it's beautiful anyway!
The picture, designed by Gwen Fisher and engineered by Paul Brown, is one of the images that appears in the book 50 visions of mathematics, which celebrates the 50th anniversary of the Institute of Mathematics and its Applications.

Looking for a job? Clean up your social media
If you're looking to land a new job in 2013, it's time to clean up your Twitter act, Facebook act and any other questionable behavior on social media.
According to a Valley employment expert, more employers are looking on these types of sites for behavior that might demonstration poor judgment and/or illegal behavior.
"I think it makes for poor decision making," said Michael Hayes with Momentum Specialized Staffing. "People forget and think they are posting in some private space."
The reality is, once you post something online, it could end up on your future employer's computer screen.
Hayes said drunken pictures, sexually provocative pictures of yourself or others, off-color jokes, racist or hateful pics or comments and extreme political views should be avoided because it could mean the difference between getting that job or another few months of pounding the pavement.

PVPO Application Requirements
PVPO issues Certificates of Protection for new varieties of plants that are seed reproduced or tuber propagated. A Certificate of Protection is awarded to the owner of a Variety after an examination determines that it is new, distinct from other varieties, and genetically uniform and stable through successive generations and provided that the legal aspects associated with the creation and marketing (if desired by the applicant/customer) are valid.
The owner of a Variety submits an application describing the characteristics of the crop kind or species. The application contains confidential and sensitive information, such as descriptive characteristics of the new Variety or other similar varieties. A complete application includes (1) completed application form signed by the owner; (2) completed exhibits A, B, C, E, F; (3) for a tuber reproduced variety, verification that a viable (in the sense that it will reproduce an entire plant) tissue culture will be deposited and maintained in an approved public repository; and (4) payment by credit card or check drawn on a U.S. bank for $4,382 ($518 filing fee and $3,864 examination fee), payable to "Treasurer of the United States" (See Section 97.6 of the Regulations and Rules of Practice).
: With the application for a seed reproduced variety or by direct deposit soon after filing, the applicant must provide at least 3,000 viable untreated seeds of the variety per se, and for a hybrid variety at least 3,000 untreated seeds of each line necessary to reproduce the variety.
If a certificate is allowed, you will be requested to send a payment by credit card or check payable to "Treasurer of the United States" in the amount of $768 for issuance of the certificate. Certificates will be issued to owner, not licensee or agent. See below for a listing of the required information.
A variety may be considered new only if propagating or harvested material of the variety has not been sold or otherwise disposed of to other persons for purposes of exploitation of the variety for more than 1 year in the U.S. or 4 years outside of the U.S.
Additionally, the PVP Office maintains databases for crops of both public and private varieties. The examiner uses those and other sources to determine which, if any, varieties are indistinguishable from the new one. If the examiner finds varieties that appear to be indistinguishable from the application variety, the applicant will be notified that supplemental data are necessary. To obtain additional data, applicants may perform additional field or greenhouse replications and may use DNA profiling other analyses to substantiate distinctness. The USDA does not perform tests to confirm distinctness of a variety. That responsibility rests with the applicant.

Our conference always attracts high-profile politicians and high-ranking education officials to present the awards. Don't forget to start filling out the Index early to give you time to collect all the evidence needed to achieve a higher score!
Yes it is, we have invited and encouraged every local authority to take part.
Only the top 10 local authorities will be announced publicly. All other local authorities who complete the Index will be told their position confidentially. It will be up to them whether or not to announce it publicly.
Absolutely. No matter what stage of the journey you're at, it's beneficial for your local authority to take part in the Index. For those who are just starting out, this will be an effective way of knowing where you began, so that you can monitor progress year after year – particularly useful for justifying budget expenditure.
The results will be launched at our Education for All Conference on 10 July 2015 and each local authority will be contacted directly and informed of their score.
The Index is only open to local authorities. Although schools and local authorities may work together to identify progress in tackling homophobic and biphobic bullying and to complete relevant parts of the Index, the Index should be submitted by the local authority.
Schools are encouraged to join our School Champions programme. It provides tailored training, support and guidance to primary and secondary schools in challenging homophobic and biphobic bullying and celebrating difference.
All local authorities that take part will be told their score, and local authorities who work with us through our Education Champions programme will receive detailed feedback with one-on-one meetings on how they performed and how they can improve in the future. If your local authority would like to join our Education Champions programme, please click here for more information on the range of support joining this programme offers.
If you have any other questions about the Index, please contact us at firstname.lastname@example.com or on 0207 593 2821.

Disagrees with Pitts column
I've been mulling over something that your beloved Leonard Pitts wrote in a recent column. He said that Second Amendment supporters have a fantasy of hobnail boots coming down the street. In other words, he thinks it's a fantasy to think that a government can be oppressive of its citizens.
I will be 68 years old soon, and I am including a partial list of governments that have killed their unarmed citizens en masse just in my lifetime: Germany, Japan, Russia, China, North Vietnam, South Vietnam, Cambodia, many African countries, Kosovo, Iraq,Afghanistan and of course Syria. This list does not include oppressive regimes like Hugo Chavous in Venezuela, who uses death squads to suppress opposition. And I'm sure Pitts must think that Iran is just swell.
A great number of our veterans support the citizen soldier concept that our forefathers endorsed because we have seen firsthand what a government can do to unarmed citizens who are unable to protect themselves. How is it that a government employee is inherently responsible with a gun, but his law-abiding civilian counterpart is not?
By the way, our country was founded because of the oppressive taxation of Great Britian on its citizens. Sound familiar?
