My query….when is there a penalty for violating court orders and when do the rules of court require to be followed.

text: FPR1 encodes the cell surface receptor protein fMet-Leu-Phe, a G protein-coupled receptor 1 family protein that binds and is activated by N-Formylmethionine-containing oligopeptides, particularly N-Formylmethionine-leucyl-phenylalanine (FMLP). The formyl peptide receptor family, FPR1, FPR2 and FPR3 are Gi-protein-coupled receptors that are expressed mainly by mammalian phagocytic leukocytes. FPRs are involved in antibacterial host defense and inflammation. FPR1 is prominently expressed by mammalian phagocytic cells where it mediates cellular responses to the Nformylmethionine-containing oligopeptides released by invading microorganisms and injured tissues. The receptor is available in the following formats: stable over-expression cell line, membrane preparation, or purified receptor in HEK293 or CHO. Various tagged versions are available.

Veggie dogs, tofu, green pepper and onion processed and mixed with spices to create a ‘ham and egg’ salad that no one will know didn’t come from the pig and the chicken!
Place Good Dog chunks into food processor and process till evenly crumbly; scraping down from sides, then process till loose and mealy, not fine; you want texture. Transfer to large mixing bowl.
Break tofu into chunks and add to mixing bowl along with salt.
Add mustard, sugar, allspice, black pepper, green pepper and onion. Using potato masher, then large spoon, mash, then stir to evenly distribute all ingredients. Transfer to covered container and refrigerate overnight. Although you can use it right away, refrigerating it overnight makes the green pepper flavor more prominent.
Spread on potato bread as a sandwich, or spread on soft sub rolls for hors d’oeuvres, then cut the subs crosswise into finger-size sandwiches. Place a toothpick through each segment.
Notes: For myself I put nothing else on the sandwich. For guests I spread a little soft Animal-Free Butter or Animal-Free Mayonnaise on one half of the bread.
Don’t be tempted to put the green pepper and onion in the food processor. It will inject too much liquid into the spread.
The two different types of tofu, one coarse and the other smooth, more closely replicates the texture of both the yolk and the white of the egg. The mustard creates the yellow coloring of the egg and the tart sensation of mayonnaise.
Everyone will love this sandwich!

At St Andrew’s Senior School, the academic programme is extensive and challenging with students being encouraged to excel with increasing independence. Students join the Senior School mainly for St Andrew’s Prep School, but also from other Prep Schools in Kenya, as well as Kenyan 8-4-4 schools and other schools from across sub-Saharan Africa. Entrance is subject to passing the School’s entrance examinations and suitably talented students are encouraged to apply for academic scholarships or specialist scholarships in music, drama, art and sport.
On joining the school (Year 9), all students follow a broad curriculum based on the English National Curriculum and building towards GCSE or IGCSE examinations at the end of Year 11.
As student progress to Years 10 and 11, students follow a common core of English Language, English Literature, Mathematics, Biology, Physics and Chemistry. Students chose four of the other subjects, with Business Studies and Sociology being added to the curriculum as new options, to complete their portfolio of 10 GCSE/IGCSE subjects.
All students continue their PSHE studies as a non-examined course. The GCSE results for 2015 were impressive with over 50% of grades being A or A*. A detailed breakdown of our results are published annually both to parents and nationally and are available on request.
After Year 11 students graduate to St Andrew’s College for the final two years of their school education, where they study for 4 AS levels and mostly continue with three subjects to A level in Year 13. Some of the most academically able students will continue to study all 4 subjects to A level. In addition to the subjects offered at GCSE, Economics and Psychology are added to the College Curriculum.
As at Year 11 standards are high and in 2015 38% of all entries were grades A or A* and 63% grade B or higher. The College has a well-established programme of careers and university guidance, including an annual “Town and Gown” trip to allow students to visit a number of prestigious English universities. As well as the UK, students in recent years have gained places in top US universities as well as other highly regarded institutions around the world.
The school enters students for Cambridge International Exams (CIE) and Edexcel exams at both IGCE and A level. In 2015 a number of St. Andrew’s students received commendations from both organisations for being “Best in Africa” or “Best in Kenya” in their respective subjects.
By focusing on understanding the individual needs of each of our students, we aim to encourage the very best levels of performance from each child. Unlocking the full potential of each student is the key and we follow a structured approach to achieve this.
We place a high premium on pastoral care in the classroom, around the School and in the boarding houses. Students in the Senior School are grouped into pastoral groups, called ‘Tutor groups’, the tutor being responsible for overseeing their tutees’ academic progress and pastoral welfare. Tutor groups are based around the 4 school Boarding Houses with two tutor groups of about 8 students in each Year group in each Boarding House. Tutors work closely with a highly experienced team of Boarding Houseparents and Assistant Houseparents who are also in regular contact with student’s academic teachers. In the Senior School class sizes are limited to 20 students, except for the top sets in English, Maths and Science which may be slightly largely to allow for slightly smaller lower sets.
The College this year sees a move to a maximum class size of 15 at AS level which will apply to A2 in future years. In reality, many classes are considerable smaller than this. St Andrew’s remains committed to offering a wide choice of subjects at A level.
Weekly sports tours to play other international school in Kenya and Trip to Youth Football World Cup, Sweden where the St Andrew’s team won the award for “most sporting team” as well as reaching the semi-finals.
St Andrew’s is very proud of it status as a Round Square School (www.roundsquare.org) , an elite organisation of about 150 similarly minded schools from across all continents of the world who place the Round Square IDEALS of internationalism, democracy, environment, adventure, leadership and service at the heart of their school curriculum. The school is very pleased to be hosting its first ever Round Square Conference in February 2017 which will provide many more of our students gain first-hand experience of a Round Square event.
St. Andrew’s has a rich tradition of music and drama, with students having the opportunity to study for ABRSM exams in a wider range of instrumental as well as theory exams, as well as the LAMDA individual dram exams. About half the student in the Senior School and College will take exams in either drama or music in 2016, with many gaining merits or distinctions.

Finance Asia has a report on Asian tidal / ocean current power company Atlantis - Tidal power company moves to the next level.
Power generation using tidal currents is the latest renewable energy source to emerge as a viable alternative to fossil fuels. The technology has yet to be deployed commercially, but the unparalleled predictability of the movement and intensity of tides suggests it has clear advantages for the power industry, versus some of the other renewable energy sources such as wind or solar power.
According to an Atlantis press release, ocean power, which includes tidal current power, wave power and ocean thermal energy conversion, represents a vast source of energy estimated at between 2,000 and 4,000 terawatt hours per year. The US and the UK combined have sufficient ocean power potential to meet around 15% of their power needs.
Having spent 10 years developing its turbines, Cornelius says Atlantis is now ready to become the first tidal power developer to establish mini-arrays (essentially farms or fields of multiple subsea turbines of 1 or 2 megawatts each). This will allow it to aggregate the necessary data about environmental and turbine performance before it moves on to apply for permits for projects of a much more significant scale.
These commercial projects should see the company turn cash flow positive in 2011, he adds.
The company has had a 150KW turbine installed and connected to the grid in Australia since 2006 and is hoping to build up its generation capacity there, but it is also actively looking for several other sites both in Asia and Europe where it can set up trail arrays. It is currently evaluating potential installation opportunities in the Pentland Firth off Northern Scotland, in the Bay of Fundy and in British Columbia off the east and west costs of North America and off the coast of South Korea.
China also has the potential to become a “huge” market, according to Cornelius, since the company’s Nereus turbine that is suitable for shallow-water can be deployed not just in tidal oceans, but in rivers too – and that is a resource that China has a plenty of. Atlantis also has a second type of turbine, the Solon, which is a deep-water turbine that can be installed in some of the fastest flowing currents in the world.

Last weekend we headed to the hot side of the state for Boat Race Weekend in the Tri-Cities. One of my favorite summer traditions! I love hanging at the river all day watching the boats & air show with people I love!
Beginning of the air show.
We go on Friday and skip the actual races Sat and Sun. Friday is free (on the Pasco side anyway), way less people (I don’t care to do the overcrowded drunk people thing), you still see a few races, qualifications, practice air show, and you can bring all your own food and drinks! We actually eat dinner after everything is done for the day, around 5 pm, because we’ve been in the sun all day, drinking on and off, and don’t want to worry about dinner after getting home from a long, hot day in the sun. It seems like less work (and more fun) to eat there before loading up and heading home.
This year the patrol boat was very lax. The fact that there was only one is odd, but also odd that they didn’t say a word to us about floating in the river while the boats were running. Usually they don’t even want us standing in the water. We tied our inner-tubes down with rocks and a 5 gallon bucket full of water pretty close to the bank, just deep enough that our butts didn’t hit the bottom, so maybe that’s why they didn’t care that we were out there. Seriously it was so nice though…being able to float in the river all day in the blazing sun…so refreshing. The only down side….when I went to bed that night the bed was floating…took forever for it to stop so I could fall asleep.
My view…you would think I would manage to get a pic with one of the boats going past.
Art and craft time with Daddy. I packed plenty of fun stuff for Sky to do since she needs sun breaks here and there.
The rest of the weekend was full of yummy food, lot’s of wine, and great family/friend time! I always feel pretty lazy the next day. Even though floating on the river all day sounds easy, being in the sun all day takes it out of me. I just want to lounge in the shade with cold wine and water!
So much good food…Korean Short Ribs FTW!
Sky eating all of Aunt Candy and Uncle Paul’s blackberries.
My take away from the weekend…so many mosquito bites! We sat out until late Saturday night talking and watching shooting stars. Maybe it was the wine, but I had no idea I was being eaten alive. Yikes!! Three days later and my legs are still itching pretty bad and I take my bug bite stick with me everywhere I go. Lesson learned…bug spray next time!
Very small example of the bites I have all up and down both legs and on my feet. It’s pretty bad.
I recommend having a summer “thing” that you do every summer. We know we will be in E WA the last full week in July for boat races. It sort of anchors our summer and actually makes it easier to plan other summer fun around that weekend. The only down side…It’s now Aug and time to get the back to school stuff going. Boo!

Shake well before use. Apply liberally on face and body before sun exposure. Reapply as desired. Remove with facial cleanser or body wash. Do not stay too long under the sun, even while using Ultra Shield SPF 130 Lotion PA ++++.
If you’re looking for optimal sun protection, you use the highest SPF you can, right? SunPlay offers the only sunblock with SPF 130 and PA ++++ in the market today. Plus, each of their products provides broad-spectrum protection from UVA and UVB rays, while combating signs of premature photo-aging. All have a revolutionary watery liquid formulation, which gives users a non-sticky feel without leaving a white residue on the skin. Have your fun in the sun with SunPlay!
I bought this for my aunt who has naturally fair skin and does field work. She works under the sun 8 hrs a day and now has deep tan lines. This product works great when used consistently however, once you stop using this the sun burn becomes worse. When the product washes off, based on our observation, the sun burned my aunt's skin faster than before.
i love sunscreen! ever since i've read that sunscreens are the best anti-aging product that fights wrinkles and dark spots, there's never a day that i don't religiously wear one. so i am always on the look out for whatever is available on the market, whether thru beautyMNL or thru local drugstores. and this one caught my eye because of a high spf rating at 130, although i know spf 30 sunscreens are just as good in terms of protection. this sunscreen has a milky and liquidy consistency and has a tendency to separate if you don't shake the bottle before use. there seems to be a pellet inside that helps mix it when you shake it. this is a physical sunscreen so it gives shiny white cast, which i do not mind because i know the shine is deflecting those damaging UV rays away from my skin. would i buy this again in the future? most likely because it lasts a long time so it's very economical.

Shared Care is an optional feature added to individual long term care insurance policies for spouses or domestic partners. This feature allows you to share your benefits with your significant other if you need it. Essentially, it acts as a bridge between your policies in the event either of you exhausts your policy and needs additional care.
To add Shared Care to your policies, you must buy identical coverage from the same insurance company. For example, if you buy a $6,000 monthly benefit for 3 years, your spouse or partner must buy the exact same benefit.
Shared Care helps couples save money by doubling their plan.
For example, you and your spouse each buy long term care policies with a $300,000 benefit pool. With Shared Care, this rider doubles your benefit to $600,000 if you or your spouse needs additional care services.
Even if you only use a portion of your benefit, your spouse has access to their coverage and yours if they need it.
Shared Care is added for an additional fee, but the extra expense can end up saving you money in the future. Though this rider can fluctuate between carriers at a range of 12-18%, many couples find they can buy more affordable plans while maximizing their coverage.
For example, rather than buying a six-year benefit, you can buy three-year benefit durations and have access to six years of coverage if you need it.
Who Should Choose Shared Care?
Shared Care is valuable if you have assets to protect. It guards your savings against being depleted due to a long term care event.
Shared Care also offers a solution if you’re interested in saving money. It allows you to buy smaller, more affordable policies while maximizing your access to coverage.

The goal is to evaluate the potential online response and Harris County was chosen because of its diverse population and economy.
John Thompson, director of the U.S. Census Bureau, says his agency chose Harris County to conduct its test looking forward to the 2020 census because of its diversity in terms of population, economy and also due to the variety of languages that residents speak.
The federal government is already planning for the 2020 census and Harris County is playing an important role.
U.S. Census Bureau director John Thompson visited Houston to encourage Harris County residents to fill out an online form with basic questions such as their age and the number of people that live in their home.
More than 200,000 households are scheduled to receive a notice asking them to provide their information.
It is all part of a test the federal government is conducting to evaluate the potential online response when the Census Bureau actually has to gather data for the 2020 census.
Thompson says if a significant part of the United States population answers the Census’ questionnaire through the Internet his agency could achieve two goals.
Thompson also highlighted the population growth that Houston had since July of 2014 until July of 2015.
The metropolitan area that includes Houston, along with The Woodlands and Sugar Land, was the one with the highest increase in residents, with almost 160,000.
Texas State Demographer Lloyd Potter explains the growth is due to people moving from states like California and Florida.
“Another significant element of Houston’s population dynamics has to do with international migration, or people from other countries,” adds Potter, who also cites the region’s high birth rate.

In the early 1970s Control, the head of MI6, suspects that there is a mole in the senior management and, on the possibility of finding out who it is, sends Jim Prideaux to Hungary. But Prideaux is shot and as a result Control and his right hand man George Smiley are sacked. Later Smiley is recalled to secretly investigate the allegations and to find out who the mole is. Central to his investigation is a secret information source “Witchcraft” and the evidence of Ricky Tarr an agent on the run after becoming involved with a Russian spy in Istanbul.
For much of the film Smiley looks into the middle distance possibly thinking about the case, or the fact tht his wife is being unfaithful to him. He, and his assistants spend time in the grey and dusty offices of MI6 and more secret locations. Mostly in flashback meetings take place and the various failings of the management are revealed. There are three shots fired, all of them important to the plot, one distantly viewed male and female coupling, some drinking and a lot of smoking.
A View I thought that this was a wonderful film, and so did most of the critics, but I am a John le Carré fan, I have read the book and had seen the TV version starring Alec Guinness. Gary Oldman somehow makes Smiley a bit more vulnerable than Alec Guinness did. I would make it a “Must See” but for the fact that I know the plot is a bit labyrinthine (although simpler than the book) and the pace is not for everybody. So now you can decide whether it is for you or not.
Additional Info The author based the book on the existence of the Cambridge Five who had been double agents in the British secret service back in the 1950s.


text: supplied wholesale power reliably through the existing transmission grid. How will the EPA reconcile elimination of new coal-fired capacity in these situations? Clean Air Act precedent is that the best system of emission reduction is based on data from existing plants in the US and worldwide as appropriate. In view of existing performance and what can be reasonably anticipated, we think the best system is defined by improvements in thermal efficiency, an option that EPA has considered and rejected in this proposal. We think this proposal will be a setback for CO2 capture research, development, and demonstration. If, as even the EPA suggests, no coal plants are being built, there will be even less support from the private sector for continued investment in the expensive and unproven CO2 capture development. And, consequently, CO2 capture won’t be available to use fossil fuels as energy in a carbon constrained future neither in the US nor around the world.

Appalachia (in white) overlaid with dialect regions defined by the 2006 ANAE. Southern American English is the dominant dialect in the region.
Appalachian English is American English native to the Appalachian mountain region of the Eastern United States. Historically, the term "Appalachian dialect" refers to a local English variety of southern Appalachia, also known as Smoky Mountain English or Southern Mountain English in the United States, both influential upon and influenced by the Southern U.S. regional dialect, which has become predominant in central and southern Appalachia today, while a Western Pennsylvania regional dialect has become predominant in northern Appalachia. The 2006 Atlas of North American English identifies the "Inland South", a dialect sub-region in which the Southern U.S. dialect's defining vowel shift is the most developed, as centering squarely in southern Appalachia: namely, the cities of Knoxville and Chattanooga, Tennessee; Birmingham, Alabama; and Asheville, North Carolina. All Appalachian English is rhotic and characterized by distinct phonology, morphology, syntax, and lexicon. It is mostly oral but its features are also sometimes represented in literary works.
Extensive research has been conducted since the 1930s to determine the origin of the Appalachian dialect. One popular theory is that the dialect is a preserved remnant of 16th-century (or "Elizabethan") English in isolation, though a far more accurate comparison would be to 18th-century (or "colonial") English. Regardless, the Appalachian dialect studied within the last century, like most dialects, actually shows a mix of both older and newer features.
Appalachian English has long been criticized both within and outside of the speaking area as an inferior dialect, which is often mistakenly attributed to supposed laziness, lack of education, or the region's relative isolation. American writers throughout the 20th century have used the dialect as the chosen speech of uneducated and unsophisticated characters, though research has largely disproven these stereotypes; however, due to prejudice, the use of the Appalachian dialect is still often an impediment to educational and social advancement.
2.1 Conjugation of the verb "to be"
Stage 1: In the diphthong /aɪ/, the second half of the diphthong is often omitted (referred to as monophthongization), and it is thus pronounced similar to [äː]. (Thus, for example, the word tide in this dialect may sound to outsiders more like Todd or even tad). In extreme instances, words such as "wire," "fire," "tire," and "retired" are pronounced so as to sound completely identical to the words "war," "far," "tar," and "retard" respectively.
Stage 2: The diphthong /eɪ/ begins further back and open in the mouth, so that, for example, fish bait and old lace in this dialect may sound to other English speakers more like fish bite and old lice. The vowel /ɛ/ then moves in the opposite direction and acquires a "drawl" or longer, glide-like sound quality, so that red may be said to sound more like ray-ud or rih-yud. Stage 2 is most common in heavily stressed syllables.
Stage 3: The vowel /ɪ/ is pronounced higher in the mouth and with a drawl, so that hit may be said to sound like hee-it. Conversely, the vowel /iː/ lowers and then glides up again, so that feet may sound more like fih-eet or fuh-eet. Stage 3 is most common in heavily stressed syllables.
The word "oil"—which is pronounced in standard forms of English with two distinct vowels, almost like "aww-yull"—is pronounced instead as "uhll" (with the vowel part of the word pronounced like the vowel sound in "book").
Lax and tense vowels often neutralize before /l/, making pairs like feel/fill and fail/fell homophones for speakers in some areas. Some speakers may distinguish between the two sets of words by reversing the normal vowel sound, e.g., feel may sound like fill, and vice versa.
Short "i" and short "e" have the same pronunciation when appearing before "n" or "m" (e.g., "pen" and "pin" are both pronounced "pin"). Adjectives are often used to distinguish between the two (e.g., "ink pen").
Words with "o" in the middle, tend to be "drawn". For example, the "o" in "home" becomes "holm" or "huh-ohm". This drawing of the "o" is common in southern Ohio and Pennsylvania, and may occur in regions bordering western Appalachia.
Research suggests that the Appalachian dialect is one of the most distinctive and divergent dialects within the United States.
An epenthetic /r/ occurs in some words such as wash, leading to the pronunciation /wɔːɹʃ/.
H retention occurs at the beginning of certain words. It, in particular, is pronounced hit at the beginning of a sentence and also when emphasized. The word "ain't" is pronounced hain't.
Participles and gerunds such as doing and mining end in /ɪn/ instead of /ɪŋ/. While this occurs to some extent in all dialects of American English, it possibly occurs with greater frequency in Southern Appalachia.
Word final a is sometimes pronounced /iː/, as in okra (/ˈo kʰɾiː/).
Intervocalic s in greasy is pronounced /z/, as in other Southern American and some British speech. A related matter: The noun "grease" is pronounced with an "s," but this consonant turns into a "z" in the adjective and in the verb "to grease."
People who live in the Appalachian dialect area or elsewhere in the South pronounce the word Appalachia with a short "a" sound (as in "latch") in the third syllable, /ˌæpəˈlætʃə, -tʃiə/, while those who live outside of the Appalachian dialect area or at its outer edges tend to pronounce it with a long "a" sound (as in "lay"), /ˌæpəˈleɪʃə/.
Conjugation of the verb "to be"
The conjugation of the verb "to be" is different from that of standard English in several ways, and sometimes more than one form of the verb "to be" is acceptable in Appalachian English.
Divergence from standard English conjugation of the verb 'to be' occurs with the highest frequency in the past tense, where grammatically plural subjects also take the singular form 'was' rather than 'were'. Thus, the paradigm of the verb 'to be' in Appalachian English more closely resembles the paradigm for other non-'be' verbs in English, where the past tense takes a single form, regardless of number or person.
The use of the word ain't is also one of the most salient features of this dialect. While "ain't" is used to some extent in most American English dialects, it is used with much greater frequency in the Appalachian dialect. Similarly, the phrase "it is" frequently appeared as "it are" in Appalachian English as late as the mid-twentieth century.
"Me and my sister gets into a fight sometimes."
"A boy and his daddy was a-huntin'."
"Some people makes it from fat off a pig."
"...no matter what their parents has taught 'em."
"The cars was all tore up."
"There's different breeds of 'em."
"There was 5 in our family."
A notable feature of Appalachian English is the a-prefix which occurs with participle forms ending in -ing. This prefix is pronounced as a schwa [ə]. The a-prefix most commonly occurs with progressives, in both past and non-past tenses. For example, "My cousin had a little pony and we was a-ridin' it one day" Common contexts also include where the participle form functions as an adverbial complement, such as after movement verbs ('come', 'go', 'take off') and with verbs of continuing or starting ('keep', 'start', 'get to'). An example of each being: "All of a sudden a bear come a-runnin'", and "He just kep' a-beggin'".
However, the a-prefix may not be attached to a verb which begins with a relatively unstressed syllable, such as 'discover' or 'retire'.
While much less frequent or productive, the a-prefix can also occur on participles ending in -ed, such as "a-haunted"
The a-prefix has been found to occur most frequently in more animated or vivid narratives, as a stylistic device.
Wolfram and Christian's study suggests that a-prefixing is more common with older speakers. Because of the considerable difference of a-prefixing frequency according to age (the frequency varied between 10% and 50%), the authors state that their findings support the "(...) contention that a prefixing is a phenomenon that is dying out in Appalachia". As their study was already published in 1976, it highlights the demand for research which considers more recent data.
A-prefixing can be traced back to the 16th century: The construction reached its height from 1500-1700 and developed out of using the preposition "on" and a verbal noun ending in -ing. Only used in formal and educated writing in the 17th century, it became nonstandard in the 18th century.
Sometimes the past participle of a strong verb such as "do" is used in place of the past tense. For example, "I done it already" instead of "I did it already" or in the case of the verb "see," "I seen" instead of "I saw." "Went" is often used instead of "gone" as the past participle of the verb "to go." She had went to Ashland. Less frequently, "gone" is used as the simple past tense. I gone down to the meeting, but wasn't nobody there. "Done" is used with the past tense (or a past participle commonly used as a past tense, such as "gone") to express action just completed, as in, "I done went/gone to the store".
Some English strong verbs are occasionally conjugated as weak verbs in Appalachian English, e.g. "knowed," and "seed."
The construction "don't...no" is used with transitive verbs to indicate the negative, e.g. "He don't know no better." This is commonly referred to as the double negative, and is either negative or emphatically negative, never positive. "None" is often used in place of "any," as in "I don't have none."
Verb forms for the verb "to lay" are used instead of forms of the verb "to lie." For example, "Lay down and hush."
"Might could" is sometimes used where a speaker of standard English would say, "might be able to" or "could maybe."
Measurements such as "foot" and "mile" often retain their singular form even when used in the plural sense. For example, "That stick is 3 foot long", or "We need 6 foot of drywall". "Foot" in the singular is standard in UK English.
Some nouns are spoken in pairs, the first noun describing the seemingly redundant second noun, as in "hound dog", "Cadillac car", "widow woman", "toad frog", "biscuit bread", or "rifle gun".
"Them" is sometimes used in place of "those" as a demonstrative in both nominative and oblique constructions. Examples are "Them are the pants I want" and "Give me some of them crackers."
Oblique forms of the personal pronouns are used as nominative when more than one is used (cf. French moi et toi). For example, "Me and him are real good friends" instead of "He and I are really good friends." Accusative case personal pronouns are used as reflexives in situations which, in American English, do not typically demand them (e.g., "I'm gonna get me a haircut"). The -self/-selves forms are used almost exclusively as emphatics, and then often in non-standard forms (e.g., "the preacher hisself"). Second person pronouns are often retained as subjects in imperative sentences (e.g., "You go an' get you a cookie").
"I liketa never went to sleep last night."
"And I knew what I'd done and boy it liketa scared me to death."
'Liketa' also imposes a notion of counter factuality on the clause in which it appears, distinguishing it from the word 'almost'. For example, you could say "They almost made it to the top of the mountain", but "They liketa made it to the top of the mountain" would be incorrect. 'Liketa' does not carry the same notion of partial truth as 'almost'.
Pronouns and adjectives are sometimes combined with "'un" (meaning "one"), such as "young'un" to mean "child", "big'un" to mean big one, and "you'uns" to mean "you all". Young'n' and 'big'n' also are commonplace in northern UK vernacular English.
The word element "-ever" is sometimes reversed in words such as "whatever" ("everwhat"), "whoever" ("everwho"), and "however" ("everhow"), but the usage remains the same (e.g., "Everwho did this is in big trouble").
The word right can be used with adjectives (e.g., "a right cold morning") and along with its standard use with adverbs can also be used with adverbs of manner and time (e.g., "right loud" or "right often"). This is an acceptable formation in some areas of UK English.
Being part of the greater Southern America region, the dialect many of the same terms of the South. In its relation to south of the Midland, it has several terms in common with its North Midland counterpart, including poke (paper bag), hull (to shell), and blinds (shutters). Certain German-derived words such as smearcase (cottage cheese), however, are present in the North Midland dialect but absent in the Appalachian dialect.
blinds — window shades or window shutters. While blinds usually refers to window shades, in Appalachia and the greater Midland dialect, it can also refer to window shutters.
britches - pants; a derivation of the proper word "breeches"
clean — a verb modifier which is used to mean entirely completing an action; can be used in place of 'all the way'; e.g., "He knocked it clean off the table."
coke — short for Coca-Cola, but applied to all flavored, carbonated sodas, regardless of brand, flavor or type. Coke is used primarily in the southern half of the dialect region, whereas pop receives more usage in southern Ohio, Eastern Kentucky, West Virginia and most of Southwest Virginia.
Co'-cola — colloquial term for Coca-Cola, but used in the same sense as coke above.
a serving or helping of food; e.g., "Can I get a fixin' of dumplings?"
an event, party or social function where food is served; e.g., "They're having a fixin' in the hall next Friday."
about to; e.g., "They're fixin' to get hitched."
gaum — mess; used as a noun and a transitive verb; e.g., 'to gaum up' (to mess up).
haint — used in the context of 'ghost, spirit', and not the derivation of ain't.
holler — hollow, as in a valley between two hills; e.g., "I continue to travel between hollers and cities."
kyarn — carrion; dead flesh, such as roadkill; e.g., "That smells like kyarn."
kindly — kind of, sort of; e.g., "Just kindly give it a little twist when you throw."
plum/plumb — completely; e.g., "Son, you're plum crazy."
quare — queer, strange, odd; completely unrelated to sexuality; e.g., "He's shore a quare 'un."
reckon — to suppose; e.g., "I reckon you don't like soup beans."
slap — full, complete; e.g., "A fall in the river, which went slap-right and straight down."
smart — hard-working, 'work-brickle'; e.g., "She's a smart womern—always a-cleanin and a-sewin and a-cookin fer 'er famly."
yonder/yander — a directional adverb meaning distant from both the speaker and the listener; e.g., "Look over yonder."
Early theories regarding the origins of the Appalachian dialect tend to revolve around popular notions regarding the region's general isolation and the belief that the region is culturally static or homogenous. The tendency of Appalachian speakers to retain many aspects of their dialect for a generation or more after moving to large urban areas in the north and west suggests that Appalachian English is conservative rather than isolated. Beliefs about Appalachia's isolation led to the early suggestion that the dialect was a surviving relic of long-forgotten forms of English. The most enduring of these early theories suggested that the Appalachian dialect was a remnant of Elizabethan English, a theory popularized by Berea College president William Goddell Frost in the late 1800s. However, while Shakespearean words occasionally appear in Appalachian speech (e.g., afeared), these occurrences are rare.
Examples of archaic phrases include the use of might could for might be able to, the use of "'un" with pronouns and adjectives (e.g., young'un), the use of "done" as a helping verb (e.g., we done finished it), and the use of words such as airish, brickle, swan, and bottom land all of which were common in Southern and Central England in 17th and 18th centuries. The use of double negatives wasn't uncommon in England during the 17th and 18th centuries. Similarly the use of "it are" in place of "it is" was common among the rural population of Southern England and the English region of the Midlands in the 1500s, 1600s and 1700s was correspondingly common amongst British colonists, in particular English colonists in the original thirteen colonies, usually pronounced as "it err". The phrase fell out of use in England sometime in the early 1800s, however it remained in use in the Appalachia region of North America until the mid-to-late twentieth century. Similarly, the use of the "a-" prefix (e.g., "a-goin'" for "going") and the attachment of "-ed" to certain verbs (e.g., knowed), originated in South England. Some speech habits which can be traced back to the rural areas of Southern and Central England include the h-retention (e.g., hit for it), the use of the word right in the place of rather (e.g., right cold), and the presence of words such as yonder. In many older works of literature set in southern England, rural or poor characters demonstrate many of these speech habits. For example, in A Tale of Two Cities by Charles Dickens, the speech of the character Jerry Cruncher is distinguished by the frequent use of double negatives and the a- prefix, among other characteristics today associated with areas such as Appalachia. Similarly the word "afeared" was common in Southern England and the Midlands throughout the 1500s, 1600s and 1700s, though fell out of use in the early 1800s when it was supplanted in literary English after 1700 by the word "afraid". The word was used frequently in the work of Shakespeare. In Appalachia the word simply remained in use, and did not get completely supplanted by the word "afraid" as it did in most of the English-speaking world. Though the word "afeared" originates in Southern England and throughought the region of England known as the Midlands it is nonetheless incorrect to refer to the word "afeared" as "Elizabethan" because it was commonly used in England long after the Elizabethan era (including throughout the entirety of the 1600s).
While the Scotch-Irish and English settlers had a strong influence on the Appalachian dialect, linguistic analyses suggest that Appalachian English developed as a distinctive dialect among English-speaking people in North America. The Appalachian dialect retains a number of speech patterns found in Colonial American English but largely discarded in Standard speech, such as "r" intrusion (e.g., "warsh" for "wash") and a "y" sound in place of "a" on the end of certain words (e.g., "okry" for "okra"). The southern drawl is of an unknown American origin.
Much of Appalachian English has developed independently in the Appalachian region of North America, and is not a remnant of speech derived from the British Isles, however most of that which can be traced to Europe, does not in fact have its origins in either Scotland, Ireland or Northern England. In fact, the majority of the linguistic anachronisms found in this region of North America can be traced back to regions of England such as the West Country, Southern England and East Anglia.
Native American influences in the Appalachian dialect are virtually non-existent, the exception being place names (e.g., "Appalachia", "Tennessee", "Chattahoochee River", "Cheoah Mountains"). While early settlers adopted numerous customs[which?] from tribes such as the Cherokee and Shawnee, they typically applied existing words from their own languages to these customs.
The traditional Appalachian dialect spread to the Ozark Mountains in northwestern Arkansas and southwestern Missouri. Ozark and Appalachian English have been documented together as a single Southern Mountain dialect of the United States.
Appalachian terms found in Ozark English include fireboard, tow sack, jarfly, and brickle and similar speech patterns also exist, such as epenthetic h (hit instead of it), the use of the "-a" prefix ("a-goin'" for "going"), and the d-stop in place of certain "z" sounds (e.g., "idn't" for "isn't"), all of which is seen in other dialects of older Southern American English. Studies have shown that Ozark English has more in common with the dialect of East Tennessee than with the dialect of West Tennessee or even Eastern Arkansas. Other distinctive features Ozark and Appalachian English share include phonological idiosyncrasies (many of which it shares with Appalachian English); certain syntactic patterns, such as the use of for to, rather than to, before infinitives in some constructions; and a number of lexical peculiarities.
Many of the original ideas about linguistic boundaries in the US were proposed by Hans Kurath in 1949, but many are under discussion in modern day. Appalachian English is perhaps the most heavily debated variety of English spoken in the United States when it comes to determining its specific boundaries. Some linguists believe that the boundaries should be fuzzy lines, giving rough ideas of boundaries, rather than hard lines, because there is a lot of dialectic variety within these small areas that is often difficult to differentiate.
Making this debate even more complex is the perspective held by many linguists that Appalachian English might not really exist at all given the huge range of dialectic variants that are commonplace in this area of the country. Categorizing all of these different variants under one umbrella is thought to actually further complicate the process of studying the variants of English within the current borders of the Appalachian dialect.
In addition to the boundary debates, Appalachian English is surrounded by stereotypical views of the area and the people living in it. Appalachia is often viewed by outsiders as a dialect of uneducated people, due largely in part to the fact that this area is perceived as being low-income and lower class. These stereotypes are often damaging to the people of this area, many of whom choose to hide or modify their accents when they visit or move to areas outside of Appalachia.
Despite all of the debates surrounding this dialect and whether or not its boundaries are legitimate and correct, to the people of Appalachia, their variety of English is central to their identities regardless of how it is seen by linguists, as well as outsiders.

Please subscribe and rate this podcast on iTunes! On the “no solutions” episode of the podcast, Josh Spector, Jordan Cooper, Chelcie Rice and Josh Homer welcome road veteran Dale Jones onto the show to discuss the state of the comedy club business from a comic’s perspective, how clubs can shift with the changing landscape to have more sustainability, why it all can be fruitless without data showing what’s working and what’s not, and if audiences simply don’t trust the “comedy club experience” anymore. In addition, we talk about the broadening definition of a what a comedy show is, how clubs in middle America can embrace tactics being utilized in Los Angeles and New York by understanding, embracing and being active in their local communities and thinking of themselves more as content companies than performance venues.

Check out our criteria for choosing a program, schedule time with an expert for help, or review other resources below.
Let’s start at the very beginning (it’s a very good place to start).
A teacher preparation program (TPP) arms you with the skills and knowledge to teach in your chosen grade and subject. You need to meet certification requirements from a state-approved TPP to lead a classroom, and it all starts with choosing a program.
What’s the difference between attending a program and getting certified to teach?
Completing a teacher preparation program is one of the first steps to getting certified to teach. If that sounds like a lot, don’t worry, we’ll be with you the whole time.
Head over to About Programs to learn more.
What criteria should I use when looking for a teacher preparation program?
Every program offers its own unique approach to teacher preparation, but you can still compare them. Key criteria that set programs apart include hands-on experience, preparation for diverse populations, mentoring and coaching, and commitment to improvement.
Check out Explore Programs to find your match.
We partnered with 17 programs in Kansas City that are ready for you to discover. Check out our list to start your search. Each program profile overviews what to expect, program hallmarks like hands-on experience and preparation for diverse populations, and insider info from current students.

Now an English major with an Education, Schooling, and Society minor, Hampe would like to work in education at some level after graduation, whether as a teacher, professor, or administrator. She was recently elected vice president of the Literacy Awareness ND club.
“The Glynn Family Honors Program has given me the opportunity to engage in small classes with my peers in a highly stimulating and challenging environment, where I always feel pushed to find, develop, and follow my interests,” Hampe says.
Through the Upward Bound program at Notre Dame, for example, she found a new passion and outlet for teaching. In the Upward Bound Writing Workshop, she tutored local high school students, many who are struggling socially or economically. “The goal of the course was to bring the students’ critical reading and writing skills up to the college level,” she says.
Hampe has also worked as a tutor in the University Writing Center since her sophomore year. As part of that role, she also reviews essays written by Notre Dame students in Writing and Retoric classes for a publication called Fresh Writing.
Hampe is now beginning work on her senior thesis for both her English major and for the Glynn program. She will be looking at the mother-child relationship in romantic period literature and how education develops through that role. She also hopes to expand her thesis for the Glynn program to incorporate modern research and will be using this summer to begin her research.
Throughout her academic journey to find her passions and imagine possible career paths, Hampe gives credit to the Glynn program for providing her such a strong base of support and community.
It’s not just the close environment of the small classes, she says, but also the involvement of her professors that has made the difference. “The program advisers and directors in the Glynn program are some of the most incredible people I’ve ever met,” Hampe says.

I have read a lot of stuff on the net about the CD and alot have mentioned bad breath.
Is this really a big issue with this diet?
Some people only suffer with grotty mouth for a week or so, iv had grotty mouth since being on lipotrim but i clean my teeth and use listerine strips as I am ok to use them, I also use wrigleys extra when I feel I need to chew but was told to keep checking to make sure I dont go out of ketosis.
It was the only side effect for me, stock up on gold spot and physillium husks for toilet problems and all will be well!
My breath is rancid when in Ketosis...rancid!
and now i am that person!!!
We're really missing you, and you've only just gone.
They've not forgiven you, and you're not even wrong.
freezing with bad breath but feeling great!!

Add a lot of kick to an old favorite.
Preheat oven to 350°. Prepare pasta in large pot as directed on package. While pasta cooks, saute sausage and onion; set aside. Prepare cream sauce by melting butter in large saucepan over medium heat. Sprinkle flour over butter, mix and cook 2 minutes. Add season salt and pepper. Slowly whisk in milk, cook and whisk over medium heat until thickened and bubbly, remove from heat. In the large pot with pasta drained, throw in sausage, Rotel, green chilies, olives and cheese. Pour hot cream sauce over top of cheese and gently stir all together as cheese melts. Pour into sprayed 13″x9″ baking dish and bake about 15 minutes, just until heated through. Buttered bread crumbs or crumbled french fried onions can be added as a topping before baking if desired.
*Beechers is a Seattle based company but their award winning cheeses are sold in many locations including Costco. No Woman is flavored with Jamaican Jerk spices, so it adds a lot of flavor. You can substitute any flavorful cheese you like.
**Squeeze as much liquid out as possible so it doesn’t thin down the thickness & creaminess of the your mac & cheese.
It’s time to think game food, the big football games are here. Homemade cheddar crackers, something a little different and fun! Buttery and flavorful.
In standing mixer or food processor, mix cheese, butter, celery seeds, Worcestershire, dry mustard, and cayenne. Add flour and mix or process until combined. Gather dough into a ball and knead on a lightly floured surface. Shape dough into a 12″ log, wrap in plastic and refrigerate until firm.
Preheat oven to 350°. Sprinkle two baking sheets with salt. Slice the log into 1/4″ thick slices and place 1″ apart on baking sheets. Bake wafers for 18-20 minutes, or until lightly browned on the bottom and around edges. Transfer them to a wire rack to cool before serving.
I mixed up some bread for dinner with my boys and plain bread just didn’t cut it tonight. So, here’s what happened while I was chatting. I went to shape the loaf, rolled it out to a rectangle, covered it with sunflower seeds, then Italian blend shredded cheese and then sprinkled seasoning salt over the top. All rolled up, baked to a crunchy crust on the outside and tender salty cheesy inside with nutty crunch of the seeds, yum! We liked it, think you will too!
Preheat oven to 425°. In large bowl of mixer, combine warm water, yeast, and sugar. Let rest for 10 minutes. Stir in olive oil, flour, and salt, mix until dough becomes soft but not sticky. Knead. Let rise 30-60 minutes.
Divide dough in half. Roll out into 12″x6″ rectangle (approx). Sprinkle evenly with 1/2 cup sunflower seeds, 1 cup shredded cheese, and seasoning salt. Roll up, pinch seam, seal ends and transfer to baking sheet sprayed or lined with Silpat or Silform Bread Tray. Repeat with other half of dough to make 2 loaves. Let rise 20-30 minutes.
Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until bread internal temperature is 200°. Watch during baking and lay foil over top to stop from over browning if necessary. Delicious as is or dipped in olive oil with balsamic vinegar.
If you are interested in Demarle bakeware such as the Silform Bread Tray please visit mydemarleathome.com/kristenparker or simply click on the Demarle at Home logo below.
I posted a recipe for Whole Wheat Refrigerator Rolls and I used some of the dough for rolls to go with chili last night. Now, the next day, I am using the dough for Stromboli, how convenient this dough is! I took the dough out of the fridge, punched it down, and cut off 2 pieces each about the size of my fist. Put the rest of the dough back in the fridge for something tomorrow. Now, assemble the Stromboli, let it rise for about an hour and bake.
Roll out dough to 6″x12″. Layer ingredients, dividing evenly between the 2 stromboli: sprinkle cheese over dough, 10 slices of salami, roasted red pepper, and more cheese. Roll up, pinch to secure seam and ends, lay in bread tray or on sprayed sheet. Repeat with second piece of dough. Cover and let rise 30 minutes to 1 hour. Make three diagonal cuts per stromboli for steam vents. Brush with egg wash if desired. Bake in preheated 400° oven for 30-35 minutes.
Sausage makes everything better, so why not muffins. I saw a picture of these on Pinterest and had to try them for dinner. They are wonderful. This is adapted from plainchicken.com, great idea, great recipe.
Cook sausage, onion, and peppers in large skillet over medium to med-high heat, stirring until sausage is no longer pink. Drain and cool.
Preheat oven to 375°. Combine sausage, baking mix, and shredded cheese in large bowl. Mix together soup and buttermilk, add to sausage mixture, stir just until dry ingredients are moistened. Scoop unto Demarle muffin tray or sprayed muffin pan, filling to tops of cups. Bake for 20 minutes or until lightly browned. Makes 12.
Oh my, the combination of two of my favorite foods…cheese and bread! This is wonderful!
Preheat oven to 350°. Spray 9×5 loaf pan. In large bowl, whisk flour, baking powder, salt, cayenne, and pepper. Stir cheese cubes into flour mixture. In another bowl, whisk milk, sour cream, melted butter, and egg. Fold wet mixture into dry ingredients. Stir just until combined! Spread batter into loaf pan. Bake for 45-50 minutes. Let cool 10 minutes in pan, then cool on wire rack for 1 hour for nice slices.

I know Boxing is an old man's sport, but I'm really looking forward to the Oscar De La Hoya vs. Manny Pacquiao fight.
Even though it's a huge mismatch.
Personally, I feel it's a no-win-situation for Oscar De La Hoya.
To be completely honest, as a boxing fan, I think it's kind of pathetic that De La Hoya is fighting the much smaller Manny Pacquiao.
To me it feels like a desperate attempt by him to gain the support of a Mexican audience he's never had. To most boxing insiders, it looks like he's fighting Pacquiao simply because he's famous for defeating Mexico's best fighters, Erik Morales, Juan Manuel Marquez and Marco Antonio Barrera.
I like a good fight as much as anyone, but De La Hoya is FOUR inches taller than Pacquiao and has a SIX inch reach advantage over him. Not to mention that Pacquiao is going to move up TWO weight classes to fight De La Hoya.
Can you realistically script a more lopsided fight?
To me the physical mismatch is equivalent to the difference De La Hoya had against Bernard Hopkins in their fight.
I do believe that Pacquiao has a better shot than De La Hoya did though. He's faster and quicker than Oscar. Pacquiao has a good shot if he boxes with De La Hoya and tries to win by decision. I also think it was a good move by Pacquiao to take the fight. Besides the money, it gives him more visibility and international fame in the sport. It's a win-win situation for Manny.
Don't get me wrong, I still hope that Manny wins and I'd love to see him knock De La Hoya out.
But let's be realistic. Pacquiao is going in as big underdog. It would be a huge upset if he won.
Last week during the Ricky Hatton match, the HBO announcers said that even if Pacquiao loses the match to De La Hoya, he'll still be considered the pound for pound champ because of the big jump in weight class he's making.
But I'll still be watching on December 6, because I love Pacquiao and I'm hoping for the epic upset.
But if Oscar wins as expected, I hope he steps up and tries to fight someone his own size. Maybe someone like Antonio Margarito or Miguel Cotto.
Those two would dish out a beating on Oscar he won't soon forget.
I think the Golden Boy wouldn't be so Golden anymore.

History Lesson: Elsie De Wolfe "America’s First Decorator"
“Known as “America’s first decorator,” De Wolfe boasted a lifestyle as glamorous as her decor. Born in New York City in 1865, her history reads not just as one wild romance and adventure novel, but several different ones. In her youth, she was educated in Scotland and was presented at court to Queen Victoria, but soon after returned to the U.S. and became a professional actress. By around 1887 she shared a “Boston marriage” (a term for two single women living together, attributed to Henry James’s The Bostonians) with successful literary agent Elisabeth “Bessie” Marbury. And later in life, she even gained the title of Lady when she married British diplomat Sir Charles Mendl, at the age of 61.

What’s it like to submarine dive a thousand feet underwater to an unexplored region of the Galápagos Islands? Marine conservationist and National Geographic Emerging Explorer Jessica Cramp takes us on a journey to find out.
Cramp’s submarine dive was part of a larger, near-monthlong Galápagos Islands expedition carried out by National Geographic’s Pristine Seas in an effort to work with Ecuador’s government to improve their marine protection policies. “One of the things I love about the submarine dive is the ability to explore the deep sea. Not a lot of eyeballs get down there. It’s really hard for people to understand that there could be an ecosystem worth knowing about, let alone worth protecting,” Cramp says.
Cramp, along with Pristine Seas producer Maureen Dolan-Galaviz and submarine pilot Diana Garcia-Benito, explored a steep shelf in Punta Vicente Roca’s waters. That team was nearly as impressive as the mission itself, as the three women may have set a record for the youngest all-female submarine dive team, and Garcia-Benito is one of the only (if not the only) female commercial submarine pilots in the world.
National Geographic Emerging Explorer and marine conservationist Jessica Cramp descends a thousand feet into unexplored waters.
During their submarine dive in the Galápagos Islands, the Pristine Seas team spots a silky shark.
