Bel Air High School – Thanks for the Memories
August 11, 2009 By Cindy Mumby
It came from dust, and unto dust it shall return.
The Bel Air High School building rose from the earth sixty years ago and it will be demolished sometime this October. The wreckage has already begun as a glorious new replacement building stands by, ready to welcome students at the start of the new school year. Hallelujah!
As the parent of a Bel Air graduate and a past president of the BAHS PTSA, I know firsthand how the community struggled to cope with the impact of a failing building. And I was one of the many people who fought to have the old building replaced. So I wasn't planning to shed any tears when the old walls came tumbling down.
But on eve of destruction, I wondered about what happened inside that building over the years. From its state-of-the-art beginnings in 1950, through (and way past) obsolescence, the Bel Air building witnessed the coming of age of thousands of Harford teenagers and was the center of work life for hundreds of people in Harford County Public Schools. Friendships made, loves lost, dreams fulfilled and shattered, and the sometimes funny, sometimes tragic, sometimes plodding course of daily life. The Bel Air High School building saw it all.
Sure, it's the people who are the heart and soul of a school, but isn't the building like the eyes and ears? Maybe that's why I couldn't resist taking one last look, before it disappeared forever.
Armed with my cell phone camera and permission to poke around, I wandered through the old school a few weeks ago as boxes were packed, junk was junked and the reality of the move set in. And since the walls can't talk, I also invited some members of the Bel Air High School community, past and present, to share a few thoughts.
Bel Air High School has a living history lesson in the person of Capt'n Jim McMahan. Now a Harford County Councilman, McMahan boasts that his Class of '56 was the first to go through all six years in the Bel Air High building, back when it housed grades 7 through 12. Capt'n Jim's connection spans the entire life of the building and it's a family affair. His mom, Selena P. McMahan taught biology in Room 103 when the building first opened. McMahan's former wife, Mary Ann is currently a school nurse. As Capt'n Jim likes to say: "…a Mrs. McMahan opened the old school and a Mrs. McMahan closed the old school this spring and will open the new school this fall."
Here's how Capt'n Jim remembered reacting when he arrived at Bel Air as a student in 1950:
To a 7th grader leaving the old Bel Air Graded School and arriving at the brand new Bel Air Jr- Sr High School, it was almost mind boggling.
From a world of one room for everything, now we had to scurry up and down stairways for different classes. We had hall lockers… and after Phys Ed you had to undress "buck naked" and run through a gang shower from hot water to cold. Talk about culture shock (and they always ran out of towels just as I emerged).
But everything was so big. The cafeteria where Mrs. Robinson put forth her home made cherry pies every day for 20 cents a slice seemed as large as a football field.
Capt'n Jim continues…
Not many people knew that Bel Air High School was built with an observation tower to the South. It's still there too. We always said it was to spot the troops coming up from Edgewood Arsenal, now the Edgewood area of APG. Don't know what we would have done if we had seen them but it was a good story. Back then all the Army Brats from Edgewood came to Bel Air ON AN Army bus.
NOTES FROM THE PRINCIPAL'S DESK
Bill Ekey was the principal of Bel Air High School from 1990 to 1996. He has lots of fond memories of the school, including these two stories that pull back the curtain on the life of a school principal:
When I was principal, one spring day we heard a rumor that a large group of students was going to skip school and spend the day at Six Flags amusement park in New Jersey. We tried to find them in the morning at the local McDonalds before they left, but we missed them.
One of my assistant principals, Dave Volrath (now the Executive Director of Secondary Education), was especially upset with the students. He asked if he could take a teacher with him and go to the park to find out who was there. I said yes and Dave took social studies teacher Joe Voskuhl (now the principal of BAHS) to New Jersey.
Dave and Joe first found the students' cars parked together. They copied the license numbers. Then they explained their mission to the park administrator who invited them into the park for free. Joe and Dave found a bench in the middle of the park and sat quietly. As BAHS students came down the asphalt walk where Dave and Joe were sitting, they would stop, point, and turn around. My assistant principal and teacher came back with a long list of names of the students at the park.
The next day we faced several angry parents who were unhappy that we sent two school employees after their children. Go figure.
This next photo is a view of the main office from the outside, looking in.
And here's what Bill recalls as the most memorable BAHS graduation. It happened in 1990 when Paul Skarzenski was principal:
Paul Skarzenski's last graduation was in the spring of 1990. He had invited his family, Senator Paul Sarbanes, the superintendent, and many other local dignitaries. At that time, Bel Air's graduation took place on the football field. (And those were the loveliest graduations, more memorable than the sterile ceremonies we have now. Rose Arches, sunset, light breezes, and a community sharing in the event.) If we had rain, graduation was moved inside to the gym and only those guests with tickets could be seated.
Graduation was scheduled to begin at 6:15 on a Friday evening, a Bel Air tradition. At 5:45, dark clouds appeared in the west. As I stood in the lobby, the clouds looked much as they looked on days when we would have summer downpours. At 5:50 I asked Paul if we should move graduation inside (as there was equipment to be moved and ticket takers to put in place). He said no. (I assumed that he had been at Bel Air for so many years that he knew that there would be no rain.) At 6:00, the clouds moved closer. I asked Paul if we should move graduation inside. He said no. At 6:10, a lightning bolt struck the football field (in front of the bleachers where all the parents and guests were seated). Torrential rain fell from the sky. The guests fled into the gym. The electricity went out. The school was dark.
Our bedraggled custodians moved the podium and flowers inside. We had no public address system, no sound system, no lights, no air conditioning. Paul gathered all of seniors in the auditorium. With a bullhorn, he gave them three choices. They could graduate the next night, they could graduate the following Friday, or they could graduate tonight with only their names called with a bullhorn in a dark gym.
The seniors shouted, "Tonight!"
We were able to get the seniors seated in the gym. Paul called their names. There were no speeches, no introductions, no remarks. The graduates received their diplomas. And graduation was finished. As the last seniors were leaving the school, the fire marshal came into the building. He was upset that we let all the people stay when the power was out. He threatened to arrest Paul. (He didn't.)
Kelley Gunther is a rising junior at Bel Air, so her high school career will be evenly split between the old and the new. Here's one thing Kelley said she will miss about the old building – not!
I will miss the hunt of finding a bathroom stall that would actually close… it became routine. And once you found one that would close, the dumb lock would break and you'd have to find a favorite stall all over again!
Here's a look back from The Dagger's own Aaron Cahall (Class of 2000):
I wanted a brick, or some odd memento, specifically from Room 131. I never quite got around to getting it.
That was the room in which Lorraine Svilar held court, the occasional English class, and most importantly the hours-long, after-school experience that is the school newspaper, The Bellarion.
"Experience," she would probably say, is not a good word to employ in that sentence. It's watery, not specific, not vibrant. But I don't know how else to describe the seminal moment of everything I would become. I eventually became a professional journalist because of the long afternoons in that room, fighting the wax machine, fighting decades-old Macs, and fighting school administrators.
Trying to remember that cave of the prehistory of my life isn't easy; the cliched, yellow edges of the memory are fraying just 10 years later. Two-thirds of the place was a fairly typical classroom, besides one picture of Murphy Brown. Toward the back of the room were the backs of two titanic cabinets which, with a lightboard to their right, marked the beginning of the Bellarion space and the end of most sanity.
On the other side was where the magic (mostly dark) happened. There was row of Macs predating the freshmen who will enter the new BAHS this fall. There was a wax machine: our evil, Victorian mad-scientist excuse for a scanner, on which carefully proportioned pictures were given a sticky backing and X-acto'ed to pages in a process guaranteed to make you wonder if that foreign language elective was still open.
There were also people, fellow students and Ms. Svilar, who formed the most important training I have had or ever will have in a profession I knew, from that time, I had to follow. It's the training I keep thinking of, as I recall the room: it's the one thing I'll always have, but it's not something I can stash in a box, and preserve. Saving a random shard of the experience, to me, would have been as good as saving the whole thing.
I still see Ms. Svilar occasionally; she left teaching but is doing well. Hopefully she got her Murphy Brown photo before departing. The cabinets are likely in a trash heap outside the school walls; the computers and lightboard, God willing, have long since been replaced. The wax machine is hopefully burning in a gooey hell.
The physical things are gone, or soon will be. I wish I had saved one.
Delegate Donna Stifler says she gets a lump in her throat just thinking about what she calls "magical" years at Bel Air. Her name was Donna Lindeman then (Class of 1983) and she had high praise for her art teacher, Mr. Kurt Bittle. She shared this story about art and athletes:
During my senior year, a bunch of us took on the biggest project of our career. We painted huge paintings of our choice that would be displayed throughout the school. I chose to do an oil painting of three BAHS football players tackling a Fallston High School receiver. The one being tackled wore the number of my boyfriend at the time who had just broken up with me! The main tackler was one of my best friends, Danny Fisher. That left the other two Bel Air players without numbers. I'll never forget so many of the varsity football players lobbied me big time to put their numbers on the jerseys in my painting. For whatever reason, I chose my friends Richard Skarzenski and Aaron Thomas. That painting hung in the men's weight room for the next 26 years!!! It was just this year that [Principal] Joe Voskuhl took it down for me to take home!
The following photos include some unique classrooms that will be familiar to some students, including the weight room (sans Donna's picture):
Martha Dauphinais chairs the math department at Bel Air High School, where she has taught for 21 years:
My favorite memory is the practical joke [teacher] Mark Herzog and I played on [chemistry teacher] Ruth Billings when Bill Ekey was still principal. Ruth came back to school in the fall to find a nest in one of her storage cabinets. The custodians came and cleaned it out and told her that it might be a rat. Needless to say Ruth was just a little nervous.
A few weeks later when she carefully opened the cabinet again the nest had returned. It was again removed and Ruth got even more nervous. From one of my students by chance (he came into class and asked if I liked licorice because he did not and he didn't know what to do with this licorice that he had) I got (in trade for 6 lollipops) a black licorice rat. It looked amazingly life-like. This was no doubt a sign that we should do something.
Herzog and I had planning [time] together when I showed him the rat. We enlisted one of our students – a drama guy named Tom – to star in the production. During one of Ruth's chem. classes Tom looked over at the storage cabinet as though he had seen something. Ruth noticed and asked if anything was wrong. Tom replied that he thought he had seen something but was probably mistaken. At that point Ruth got on her stool and put her feet on the rungs off of the floor, but continued to teach.
After a while Tom shouted that he had just seen a rat. Immediately the girls (and many guys) jumped on chairs and started screaming and looking around.
Ruth said she was torn between running from the room and worrying about her students.
Tom then shouted "I've got it!" Held the licorice rat up by the tail and started whapping it on his desk. After several blows it broke in half and he calmly took it to the trash, threw it away and returned to his seat. Ruth said she looked at him and all she could say was "Who?" His response: "Dauphinais and Herzog" (We had arranged that should Tom get sent to the [Main] office we would take all the blame – the AP thought it was pretty funny- thank goodness) Ruth swore vengeance but Mark (who is in charge of Harford Glen now) and I are still waiting…. Tom said he had actually planned to do an "Ozzie Osborne" and bite the head off but in the moment beating it "to death" seemed a better idea.
Next up is Laura Crocker who has taught art in the building for 27 years and is now, as she says, the DepARTment Chairperson. She shares a cautionary tale involving the elevator, which is located at the end of the hallway in this photo:
When I was pregnant with my first child, I opted to use the elevator over the crowded stairs. One day while on the elevator I realized that my slip had climbed up over my very pregnant belly. Thinking that I was in the elevator alone, I hiked up my dress and began fishing around for my wayward slip. While my head was down, my arm halfway up my dress, and my dress up around my distended belly, I heard voices. In my mind I thought that it was cool that the school added music to the elevator. Shortly after that thought it dawned on me that the noise was not music by the sound of the gym class playing floor hockey. Apparently while I had been fishing for my lost slip, someone in the upper gym had called the elevator which caused the back elevator door to open. Not wishing to lose face, I shifted to the side of the elevator and kept my face forward in hopes that no one would know who I was. The moral of the story is to never check your slip in an elevator.
Chuck Bowden is currently an English and drama teacher at Bel Air who also graduated from the school in 1993. He gets a photo credit for the next two photos, including one showing a set piece from every show (over 50 of them) performed on the Bel Air stage for the last 20 years:
Chuck remembers…
I remember being a freshman and feeling lost in the building…but having the nurturing teachers (and even upperclassmen) that would help you out and become friends.
It was extra special when I returned as a new teacher and was welcomed once again by those same teachers who were now my colleagues…and seeing my name on a mailbox in the same old Main Office that was familiar from my days as a student.
You can't read Chuck's name in this photo, but it's there somewhere:
…being a part of such tradition and knowing that I have an opportunity to make a difference in the future classes of Bobcats is an exciting thing.
I spent 20 years in the old building (some as a student …"coach"/sponsor — student teacher… and faculty) — I will miss it. It is exciting to look forward to at least 20 more years in the New Bel Air High School…
MS. HEMMES
A look back at the old Bel Air High wouldn't be complete without a word from Phyllis Hemmes. She has been the school's athletic director since 1983, but she first arrived as a teacher forty, yes forty years ago. Back then, the school was so crowded that the Girls' Locker Room was used as a classroom:
I started in Sept. 1969 as a Physical Education – Health Teacher – 3200 students 250 teachers in the 1 building – I taught Health to all girls in the girls locker room – started class after everyone was dressed and went to class and finished when they came back in to change.
I helped coach Field Hockey and was JV basketball and Varsity Softball coach and Gymnastics coach – no pay for coaching at that time – Fall of 1970 we moved the 9th grade and part of the 10th to the middle school and part of the 10th -11th and 12th grades stayed in the old building
What I'll miss and everyone else was having 3 gyms to use – When I started we only had the upper gym and the back gym and the new gym was added in 1985 – also the faculty rooms where you could meet everyone at sometime during the day – now with faculty rooms on every floor we probably won't see a lot of people except at faculty meetings.
In 40 years many things have occurred in that building – many renovations – many new technologies – many teachers coming in and leaving – many students and teachers that have made a difference State championships in sports, the kids getting academic, art, athletic scholarships Graduations in the football stadium – the year it rained and had to be moved in doors – what a mess – but it got done – Mr. Rose and the Auto Shop, a lot of teachers got their cars fixed and the students got a hands on education – the down sizing – opening Fallston- CMW – Patterson Mill. Can't think of another school that has given birth to 3 other schools in 40 years – the teachers and administrators that got their start here and have moved on to be Principals, supervisors at other schools A lot of things are "What happened at the Old Bel Air stay at the Old Bel Air" Now we can start making some new memories.
THE PARENTS
Kathy Cochran is a former PTSA member and all around active parent at Bel Air High School. She was one of many parents who knew how to deal with the unexpected and still get the job done, as evidenced by this story about the time she tried to sneak donuts into the school to surprise her daughter Beth:
I was planning on sneaking in a side door with two big boxes of Krispy Kremes to leave in the Chorus Room where Beth spent much of her day. Little did I know that it was a random drug dog search day. There were a few police cars parked in the circle; there was also one car with an officer inside parked in the upper lot right where I had to pass by. Well, there's a cop and you are carrying two boxes of donuts. What would you do?
I stopped and asked him what was going on, offered him a donut, which he took, and proceeded to sneak in the side entrance. Beth loved the surprise treat.
Bob and Debbie Cassilly look forward to seeing their fifth child graduate from Bel Air High School next year, after having graduated from the school themselves in 1976. Deb says she and Bob didn't know each other back then, which she attributes to the size of their class, about 700 students compared to fewer than 400 per class today. Deb has been a PTSA member and an active parent at the school for many years. Bob had served as a Bel Air Town Commissioner and was a Harford County Councilman representing Bel Air until he left to serve in various capacities in Iraq. Bob has since been assigned to a third tour of duty. I asked Bob to share some thoughts about the behind the scenes wrangling when the new Bel High building was being planned.
Bob sent this message from Iraq:
I will share that the original plan called for the removal of the school from the Town of Bel Air. Jackie Haas and I worked long and hard to change that planned course of events. We did the same for the plans to remove the Board of Ed from the Town. Now I'm working hard to redevelop Iraq. Oh my how times have changed. I feel as though my time working in Bel Air was a lifetime and a world away.
Deb explained:
There was a lot of pressure to either create a connecting road through the middle of campus that would connect route 924 to the other side of town, but Bel Air High was in the way. Also, that land is quite valuable in the middle of town. Proposals to increase the height restrictions in-town were being brought forward at the same time. So, it seems that there were powers at work to get rid of Bel Air High and re-develop the land. Just look at us now!!!
It's probably fitting to end with a word from Joe Voskuhl. Joe was a teacher and then an assistant principal at Bel Air High from 1986 to 1997. He left and came back to the school as principal in 2003 and he will open the new building later this month. He said the old building seemed "intimate" compared to the new building – funny, considering how Capt'n Jim and Chuck Bowden thought it was enormous at one time.
No dewy-eyed sentimentalist, Joe answered my question about the past by looking toward the future: "Time to make new history."

This is a very nice article and a nice positive celebration of what good has happened in the county's education. Great idea!. Maybe one day you will also write one for Patterson Mill (sorry…I couldn't help myself 🙂 ).
Mother of 3 says
A wonderful retrospect with great pictures. Thanks for the article.
It will be momento for BAHS grads!
Delegate Donna Stifler says
Thanks, Cindy. Great article. The new building is indeed awesome but nothing is better than happy memories of the good ole' days! Can't wait to get my brick!
Gordon R. Boardway says
Wow! Thanks so much for the walk down memory lane.
Very nice Cindy, but one question. Wasn't the old school supposed to be demolishhed over the summer so as not to disrupt classes?
GREAT article, Cindy! Thanks for taking us down memory lane!
When I remember my high school days, I always think about the fantastic teachers who graced the classrooms of BAHS during my time there (1977-1981.) We were truly blessed to be the students of these great educators! I just can't help naming some of my favorites- bet they are yours too! Remember Mr. Nelson ("Ode to a Grecian Urn" –still going strong at BAHS), Mr. Dombrowski (the greatest band teacher ever), Mr. Whitehurst, Sr. (loved his Psychology class discussions and his barber's chair), Mr. Perrine (best math teacher ever), Mrs. Palm (made us memorize German prepositions before we could go to lunch LOL), Mr. Roll (won't ever forget dissecting that cat)??.
Thanks again for the great article!
We definitely had some great teachers. King Nelson (swine!), Mr. Updegrove, Mr. Whitehurst, Mr. Sharnetzka (Uncle Scotty). But no one will ever top the best band director ever, Mr. Dombrowski (Mr. D!). The building will be gone but the memories will live on.
Susan Luchey says
You know, I never in a million years thought that seeing that old building die would bring me to tears (and believe me, it does not take me much to dwindle into a sopping heap of emotion….just ask Chuck Bowden!). But this article is wonderful and forces us to remember the personality of the building formed by all these and so many more memories. Thanks for writing it and sharing the photos!
A very nice and sentimental "farewell'"to BAHS.
It truly is bittersweet, if only the walls could talk we would hear even more fond tales.
As both a parent and taxpayer, I am thankful to finally see the new Bel Air high…. Go Bobcats!!
Jan Truzz says
Wow! This was wonderful, CIndy! Your cell phone sure takes great pictures!
What a lot of work you went to preserving BAHS memories! I will be sure to share with my kids and daugher-in-law! Thanks so much for sending it to me!
Sheila (Kimble) Lapouraille - Class of 82 says
As a former student and now parent of 2 at BAHS I thank you. This is truly a bittersweet time. My husband and I both graduated from BAHS and we now have a Senior and Freshman there. I actually wish my youngest could have spent a year in the old building so we all could have experienced it. All that aside the new building in WONDERFUL and my children are very fortunate……………GO BOBCATS!!!!!!
As a current PTSA member and a mother of a daughter who just graduated and an incoming junior this is a great article. While I am not a graduate of BAHS myself it will be bittersweet to see the old building come down but the memories for all who walked those halls will live forever. As the new building opens, new memories will be made and added to what is known in this community as BOBCAT country!!!
Anyone who wants to walk through the new BAHS, here's your chance:
There will be an informal Open House for the community to walk through the new Bel Air High School to check out the building
first-hand on Thursday, August 20th from 7:00-8:30 p.m. All are welcome to attend!
Bill Seccurro says
Cindy:
Thanks for the story on Bel Air High School. The pictures of the old wood shop, where I taught from 1966 until 1973, brought back great memories. Some great kids went through Bel Air High School over the years and many of them have become successful business men and women who I have the pleasure of meeting in the business community. I am sure the new Bel Air will be just as successful as the old one. Some great teachers can be found in the annals of BHS.

Although I know the new school is a bright star on the horizon, it's so heartbreaking to watch it's forerunner disappear week by week. I, like so many, spent four wondrous, momentous years there. It was there that I learned how to drive (Thanks, Mr. Dorsey!), and how to become a writer (thanks Diane Pulling!) I had crushes, heartaches, and teen angst crisis by the dozens. Now, I have a future BAHS student in my house. I will share all my beloved Bobcat memories & knowledge with her. The bricks and mortar may come down, but the spirit will live on and on! Go, Bobcats.
Diane Pulling says
Forever in my heart is Room 119 where I began my teaching career in 1973. My life was Bel Air High School as I immersed myself in its life as a creative writing and English teacher, drama director, Mime troop leader (still love you Brian Wells!), Medley advisor, basketball coach,track coach. The English Department was a family and so much fun – Zurinsky, Nelson, Williams, Kreamer, Fry, Fleming, Busby, Belinko. My second family was the business department with life long friends Kusty and Blakney. I would relive those days in a New York minute. Thanks for the shout out Terry and best wishes to all on the opening of a new home for my beloved Bobcats!
I think I might be in trouble….for I forgot to mention someone else I met at Bel Air. Daniel Jett—-my husband of over twenty years!! We so often through the years talk of our time there and how it affected the people we are today! Both of us share a great respect for the influence Paul Skarzenski had on our careers and more importantly on our lives! He will be in our memories always.
I must add to my post or I could be in big trouble! At Bel Air, I also met Daniel Jett who was a colleague and friend for many years. Then, over twenty years ago he became my husband and we began a journey that has led us to life in Minnesota where we raised our two children – the youngest just left the nest for college at the University of Iowa. We both reminisce often about the role Paul Skarzenski played in our careers and in our lives and he lives in our memories foreverl
I must add to my post for I could be in big trouble for mentioning having met Daniel Jett there. A colleague and friend from many years there, more than twenty years ago he became my husband! We live in Minnesota where we raised our two children, the youngest having just left for college life as Hawkeye. Often through the years we have reminisced about Paul Skarzenski's influence on our careers and our lives and he will live in our memories always. Thank you Bel Air!!
Hi Ms Pulling! How are you? I was so excited to see that you posted on here. And tell Mr Jett hello from me. I'll always remember being in his office ALL DAY LONG one year counting all the votes for Student Government. And I'll never forget you for introducing me to running and writing! I don't run anymore though, bad knee, but I still love writing poetry. What took you to Minnesota? Wow. We'll have to catch up. Much love from a very thankful former student. Donna Lindeman Class of 1983
Steve Poole says
Terry, we're probably close to the same time frame at BAHS. FYI, Mr. Dorsey is still on the scene, driving my nieces' schoolbus to Churchville Elementary. Still the big, friendly smile and a handshake that'll crush your hand! Love that man! He will not leave my nieces alone at the stop until he sees my brother or sister-in-law. God Bless him, he's a great man!
Susan King says
I hadn't been back to the school since my sister graduated in 1989 so I had to go to the fareweel. I walked the halls and remembered my youth. Didn't see any of the teachers that I knew, was hoping to see Diane Pulling just to say hi!
HI- Well it is nice to hear that I am remembered in the hallways of Bel Air. I certainly feel like I left part of my heart in Room 114! I live in Minnesota now but am hoping retirement will bring me 'home'. Diane
Wayne Nickols says
I was also a member of the first class that went through all the grades and graduated in 1956. A lot of memories came flooding back from your coverage. Thanks much.
Blessings to all
Wonderful article. And the photos brought back memories of my time at BAHS. Too bad you couldn't find more people from the 70s — the heyday of BAHS with over 700 strong in each graduating class — to interview. Most of the interviewees in the article are unknowns to those of us who walked the halls in the 70s.
Doug Burdette says
Wonderful site. I only have one egotistical complaint. Why isn't there a picture of the Aberdeen High School Victory Bell sitting in the quadrangel? I still have the scar from the hernia I got when while lifting it in 1961 when one of my buddies, his name ommitted here, slipped and threw all the weight on my side…
Oh Yes Capt. Jim. I remember your Mom so well as she guided me through the evisoration of that frog.
OH YEAH! Those were the days.
Alice Fletcher Alllegretto says
My Mother helped lay the cornerstone. Have someone check it out before you demolish the bldg.
Gary Greenfield, 59 says
Cindy, Thanks for the memories. What a great thing to do for all of us unable to witness the old and the new BAHS. As others have commented, Mr D was also my hero. It was a fun time with great teachers, good football teams and a great band-I played trombone. It will live on in our memories.
Mike Shelbert says
Thanks for a nice article on BAHS. I was one of those "army brats" riding the army bus from Edgewood as a 7th grader in 1953. My sister Elsie was three years ahead of me. I think she graduated with Jim McMahon. When Edgewood High was opened I went there for grades 8,9, & part of the 10th and then returned to BAHS for the remainder of my high school career graduating in 1959. I have some great memories of BAHS and my classmates.
The new BAHS will be open to the public tonight from 7 – 8:30 pm.
Sid Lovell, Class of '75 says
What about the great Friday night football games, and the time Bel Air stomped Poly?? Wasn't it 42 to 6?
I have many great memories of growing up in Bel Air.
We had great young teachers. I can only mention a few: Miss Gallagher (El Adios), Mr. D (Greatest band man ever), and "Dangerous" Dan Tauber-the reason I went into chemistry.
I too appreciate the memories shown in this e-mail, thank you. I have not seen good old BAHS in years so the pictures sure were welcomed. There were many great teachers in the 50's at BAHS.
Renie says
Good to hear so many great stories about BAHS. . .sad to see the old building as it looks right now. . .I hope the next generation of Bobcats has just as many great thoughts about "their BAHS" when ITS replacement rolls around! Can't wait to get my brick!!
Linda Edge Hudson '72 says
Yep, many 70's memories, some good ,some not so. But glad to have memories of Ms. moore and Latin I, II, and III and the guys that shared those classes.Sure helped in anatomy class during nursing school afterwards.Best wishes in the new school, and happy memories to all!
HIRAM LODGEPOLE says
it was a good school…the best around for me…and my brother…we were lucky to live in that era, to grow and become something as we graduated and looked into life, unfolding, we only knew we could do it…whatever it was, we could do it…a new job, college, the farm, the factory…
we left those rose arches just know 'we could'
Amanda Gaughan Berry '96 says
What a great span of so many facets of the school and it's staff! BTW, I gave Ms. Svilar that Murphy Brown!
Talked to her the other day actually, she still has it up at her home.
Dottie Harkins Vinopal says
The old Bel Air High School has many memories for me. My dad, Charles Harkins, was the first principal there. When it was being built my family would go over on Sunday afternoons and he would talk about where the principal's office, library, etc. would be. At that time there were just pipes sticking up out of the ground. When the students moved from the "old" high school on Gordon Street to the "new" high school they walked the whole way and brought their own books. I remember that the teachers put on a play each year in the "showplace" auditorium. Mr. and Mrs. Dombrowski were in the play "Laura" before they were married. The students always looked forward to the teachers' play each year. Graduation was in the quad of grass outside the library and I remember walking through the rose arches on the way to graduation. Sad to see it torn down, but I am looking forward to touring the new school. Anyone know when the next open house will be? I hope it is advertised in advance so I can make plans to attend.

what a nice article! bahs was a very special place and i've always considered myself blessed for having spent my high school years there. many of the people who occupied those classrooms then are still in my life now.
Steve Poole '81 says
Gonna miss that place! A couple of funny memories was me and a couple cohorts who will remain nameless shutting off the lights on the football field during the 1980 Powderpuff football game in retribution for having been denied the opportunity to be cheerleaders cause we were football playuers….LOL! Of course, Mr. Campbell knew who did it and had a big smile on his face when I arrived at school on Monday morning…. And Mr. Brown (Athletic Director) getting me out of English class my senior year to play horseshoes out back of the school. He let me have an 18-3 lead and proceeded to throw 6 ringers to beat me, smiling the entire time…Great teachers, great friends and awesome memories!
Chip Crow '81 says
That is also the funniest memory I have of the years spent at BHS. Although toga day would be a close second. Yes, looking back it was a privilege to attend such a wonderful school. We were always allowed to express ourselves and at the same time receive genuine guidance and support. A rare commodity in today's world. My life has been forever positively influenced by the faculty and by the relationships formed with the many incredible and talented people that walked those hallways.
How about we all try to attend the first home football game? I'll get the details and post them. We should all wear Bobcat Blue shirts. Chip and Steve P and Steve H, I'm sure you still have your football jerseys, right? Let's show up in droves! If we can get 1000 people out to the Say Goodbye to Bel Air High Party, we can get a crowd at the game.
Donna, back then the jerseys belonged to the school and we didn't get to keep them….however, my younger brother was right on top of things and when asked to help clean out the old boiler room in 1989, which is where they kept some of the old equipment, he found the exact jersey I wore along with the game films from my senior year, so I have my original jersey. And it still fits, imagine that….
I like your idea, keep us posted.
Chris Mac says
I too will miss the old school. I put this picture together before they started demolition of the old school. Tell me what you think! http://www.cmac.exposuremanager.com.
Great article! My family will certainly miss the old BAHS, we have so many fond memories. Thanks for the pictures.
Me and My friends were fortunate enough to be in the school for the last time before it was torn down. All my sisters went to Bel Air and had so many good times and memories there, even though they are said to see the building go they know that they will always have the memories. The last year we spent in the old Bel Air high was fun, full of exciting times and all, the new Bel Air high had exceeded my expectation and i know that that building was built to stay. All the sophomores graduating in 2012, all loved the old building because of the history of it and just the feel of all the memories surrounding the building. Though, the floors had cracks and the ceilings looked like they were going to give in and we had little mice, the school was still one of the best in my opinion. The new and old building are still Bel Air, ready for memories to be made and new adventures and friendships to begin. This school is really how high school should be.
charles roach says
I enjoyed my many days within the old highschool. I was there from 1972 until 1975 when I graduated. The love of my life then Laurie Thompson and I were in the same building all thru highschool. We graduated and then went on to starting our lifes in the real world. I retired in 2001 after 24 years within law enforcement. I must say that I had many great days in the old Bel Air High School. It will be missed.

There is nothing like a little deep freeze to get your perspective in order. This past week, an arctic blast hit much of the United States. It seems that the jet stream pushed the arctic cold that is typically kept - well, in the arctic - down south as far as Florida. I know where I live everything was just cold. How cold? Let me say that inside my garage, where our cat eats her daily kibble, the water in her drink container had frozen into a block of ice. On the other side of my garage door, it was 40 degrees colder than it was inside the garage! It was so cold that cars stopped working. I don't mean they slid off the road and got stuck in a bank of snow. I mean that they just stopped working – in the middle of the street. Fluids inside the car were too thick to move. Belts and gaskets gave way in the cold. My youngest son heard about an experiment where boiling water thrown into the air will turn into snow in sub-zero temperatures. He tried it and it works!
If you got caught in the deep freeze, I imagine you had a few days of staying inside and breaking your normal routine. I have found that when my "normal" gets changed, it is an opportunity to get a new perspective on what is often overlooked or taken for granted. If you are like me, you may have come away with a greater appreciation for the little things that make my life run – like warmth, a good meal with my family, the guy that plowed snow from our street, running water, a cup of hot tea after shoveling the sidewalk and driveway, a board game that lasts hours. You get the picture, right?
At this point in most of my Nailing Post articles, I would turn this into an equation for business success and say something like, "take a lesson from this January deep freeze and become the marketer of things that are essential in times of crisis – like bread and milk." However, I am going to go another route here and just say that healthy people need a reality check every now and then. In my case, it typically takes a major snowstorm to halt all normal business to make that happen. Normally, I don't like to slow down. I am geared to run at full steam unless I am asleep. But if I never break that "normal" every now and then – or in this case – have normal redefined for me for a few days, I run past some of the best things in life. So let me offer a little frozen perspective. You don't have to stop running at full tilt, but you do need to break that motion every now and then. Take time to read the comics in the newspaper and eat a stack of pancakes. Give yourself time to do something you don't normally do. Take a day to come at life from a slower speed. Stop yourself from rushing ahead every now and then. I have known a few successful people in my life. I don't mean they were good at their job, I mean they were successful because they had a life that was meaningful. All of them had the little things of life in the right perspective. They all took time to ponder what was happening around them and expressed gratitude for it. Frozen perspective. Learn a lesson from your change of pace.


Q: What plans or drawings have you used to create your Bismarck 3D models?
A: To built Bismarck we used the most excellent 1/100 drawings from Hans Gally a German draftsman who is working on these drawings since the early 80's. Hans has constantly updated his drawings by incorporating the newest findings in order to make them the most detailed and up-to-date drawings available on the market.
Q: Were can I get Hans Gallys drawings and at what price?
– If you are located in Germany the price of the printed set of drawings (4 sheets) is 94�EUR shipping and packaging inside Germany included.� The printed plans will be delivered directly by Hans Gally.
Note: There is no digital download for Germany available!
– If you are located outside of Germany we are providing a 600dpi digital download of the 1/100 drawings of Hans Gally's work at a price of 80 EUR.� The download includes a 300dpi version for your convenience! There is no printed version for foreign costumers available!
– The digital and printed versions can be ordered directly from this website! Again, printed versions are only available if you provide a German delivery address!
Please follow this link to obtain any of the plan sets and to get an impression of the magnificent work of Hans Gally!
Q: Can I preview the drawings� before I order them?
A: Of course, follow this link above to get an impression of Hans magnificent work!
Q: Are there other drawings of Hans Gally available?
A: Yes, the German battleship Tirpitz and the pocket battleship Admiral Scheer are available too. The aircraft carrier Graf Zeppelin is currently under construction. All available Hans Gally drawings can be soon ordered over this website.
Q: Are there other drawings of Bismarck and Tirpitz available on the market and how is the quality and price?
– A very good investment is the AJ-Press book series about Bismarck and Tirpitz if you can still find them. I guess ebay will do the job. Below are the links to the original webpage but the books maybe out of print!
This polish book series compromises 5 books (EOW 15 -19) which are containing many photos, some original drawings and a 1/400 plan set for Bismarck and Tirpitz. The drawings are not as accurate and detailed as the drawings mentioned above but because of the tremendous amount of well choosen photographs, original drawings and some excellent 3D renderings in the later books these books are an absolute must for everybody interested in these ships!
We do not recommend these drawings because they are very similar to the original but more expensive (172 EUR).
One of the latest additions to the famous AOAS series by Conway Maritime Press is the book about Bismarck. All I can say about this book is:� The drawings in this book are inaccurate, incomplete, sometimes out of scale and some areas of the ship are simply not discussed etc.. Stay away!
But if you can't resist: Here is a link!
Please feel free to add any comment this page!
Hi, Im wondering if you would consider modelling the Nelson class battleships? The Nelson class ships were so valuable that the RN could not afford to give them a proper refit, as they would be out of action for too long.
Hi, I'm wondering if you are planning to do Scharnhorst as a 3D model ? because it would be nice to see it . Your bismarck is spectacular and really looking great. Wish you the best and I'm looking forward for answer. Have a nice day Peter.

Intel Launches New Mobile SoCs, LTE Solution
March 3, 2015 May 19, 2015 - by Shakthi - Leave a Comment
MOBILE WORLD CONGRESS, Barcelona, Spain, March 2, 2015 – Intel Corporation CEO Brian Krzanich today announced a series of mobile platforms including the company's new low-cost system-on-chip (SoC) for phones, phablets and tablets, a global LTE solution, innovative personal computing experiences, and a range of customers for mobile device and network infrastructure offerings. With technologies that span silicon, software and security, Krzanich said Intel was one of the few companies able to deliver solutions end-to-end, for devices, the network and the cloud.
The announcements include the Intel® Atom™ x3 processor series, Intel's first integrated communications SoC solution for the growing value and entry device markets, and the five-mode Intel® XMM™ 7360 LTE Advanced solution, designed for performance and worldwide coverage. In addition, Krzanich highlighted joint efforts with Alcatel-Lucent, Ericsson and Huawei to address the demand for new telecommunications, cloud and data center services, improve network efficiencies, and accelerate the industry's move toward a software-defined infrastructure.
Krzanich also reiterated that Samsung Galaxy S6* and S6 Edge* users will have the latest anti-malware solution from McAfee VirusScan Mobile™ technology built into and activated on their devices.
"The evolution of the mobile landscape and growth of smart, connected devices has led to increased demand for more connectivity and real-time, protected data on those devices," said Krzanich. "All of these factors are driving a transformation of the network to accelerate the delivery of new personal computing experiences, services and capabilities in a safe and secure manner. Intel is one of the only companies in the world that can provide solutions end-to-end for the full spectrum of mobility."
Mobile Communications Products
Intel introduced the Intel Atom x3 processor series (formerly code-named "SoFIA"), Intel's first integrated communications platform for entry and value tablets, phablets and smartphones. Combining 64-bit multi-core Intel Atom processors together with 3G or 4G LTE connectivity, the integrated communications SoC combines the applications processor, image sensor processor, graphics, audio, connectivity and power management components in a single system chipset. This integration allows device manufacturers to deliver full-featured tablets, phablets and smartphones at affordable price points for the rapidly growing entry and value market segments.
Intel is bringing the benefits of integrated Intel architecture and wireless communications to customers, including the China technology ecosystem, with greater velocity. Twenty companies, including ASUS* and Jolla*, have committed to delivering Intel Atom x3 designs.
Rounding out its mobile portfolio that scales from the entry to performance segments, Intel also introduced its first 14nm Intel® Atom™ SoC, the Intel Atom x5 and x7 processor series (formally code-named "Cherry Trail") for next-generation tablets and small-screen 2 in 1s. Offering 64-bit support for Windows* and Android*, Intel Gen 8 graphics, and an option to pair with next-generation LTE Advanced connectivity, the Intel Atom x5 and x7 processor series will power a range of mainstream to premium devices. The processors are also "conflict-free1," meaning that these products do not contain minerals (tin, tantalum, tungsten and/or gold) that are inadvertently funding human rights violations in the Democratic Republic of the Congo.
Customers, including Acer*, ASUS, Dell*, HP*, Lenovo* and Toshiba*, have already committed to deliver devices on this platform. The first devices are expected to be in the market in the first half of this year.
Intel also announced its third-generation five-mode, LTE Advanced Category 10 modem. The Intel XMM 7360 supports 3x carrier aggregation and download speeds up to 450 Mbps. Its compact size and power efficiency enable the Intel XMM 7360 to accommodate a wide range of form factors, from smartphones and phablets to tablets and PCs. It also expands Intel's portfolio of LTE solutions, giving device manufacturers a competitive option to quickly design and launch LTE devices in various market segments and geographies. At Mobile World Congress, the company also demonstrated a pre-5G concept system that combines LTE with 802.11ad to deliver speeds of more than 1 Gbps using Intel technology end-to-end.
Delivering New Experiences in Smarter, Safer Devices
With hardware and software products like Intel® RealSense™ depth sensing technology, wireless charging and True Key™ technology by Intel Security, among others, Intel continues to deliver new experiences that provide more natural, intuitive and immersive ways for people to interact with technology. Building on the success of the world's thinnest tablet, the Dell Venue* 8, Krzanich showed a sneak peak of the Dell Venue* 10 tablet, featuring a detachable keyboard and Intel RealSense snapshot technology. Targeting consumer and business users, the tablet is expected to be available soon.
In addition to working with Samsung to help protect Galaxy S6 and S6 Edge devices, Krzanich said Intel Security is also collaborating with LG Electronics to help secure personal data. LG Electronics will make McAfee Mobile Security from Intel Security available on the LG Watch Urbane LTE*, delivering anti-theft capabilities that allow the owner to lock, locate and wipe the device, if needed. LG Android device users are already protected today with McAfee Mobile Security on their devices.
Krzanich announced new customers including Brightstar, Deutsche Telekom and Prestigio for the company's True Key technology, a cross-platform application to address the pain point of passwords by using personal factors like facial identification and fingerprints to make logging in easier and safer. Deutsche Telekom will preinstall the True Key product for its customers in Europe. Prestigio will be one of the first mobile device manufacturers to launch the True Key application in Russia and across Europe, making the application available across all of its Android tablets and smartphones by the end of this year.
Network Transformation – New Services, Greater Connectivity and Faster Data
Krzanich outlined how Intel is working with industry leaders to transform network infrastructure with standardized hardware and software, and helping to accelerate the industry's move toward a flexible, agile software-defined infrastructure. This enables both telco and cloud service providers to improve network efficiencies and accelerate the delivery of new services and capabilities for consumers and businesses.
Alcatel-Lucent introduced its virtual radio access network (vRAN) solution, comprised of a virtualized baseband unit that uses general purpose servers with Intel® Xeon® processors to enable cost savings and increased network performance. The vRAN will be in customer trials this year and commercially available in 2016.
Ericsson announced a new generation of data center platforms for the Ericsson Cloud System that enable telecom and cloud service providers to lower their total cost of ownership (TCO) and realize more flexibility and efficiency in their data centers. The company is using Intel® Rack Scale Architecture, together with management and orchestration software, to optimize and scale cloud resources across private, public, enterprise and telco cloud domains, enabling improved services agility. Ericsson also announced it is working with Intel Security on mobile security for 4G networks.

Where a file named as XML message sessionID, like 114532133_something.txt and write this every two log messages into a new file.
Thanks for helping!
Edit:
Trying to do in a script with not so many sucess.
#!/usr/bin/awk -f

BEGIN { FS=":|," }
FNR==NR && /INFO/ {
    a[$0,$1,$2,$3,$4,$5,$6,$7,$8,$9,$10]++ ;
    next

}

END

{
    for (i in a) print i
}

A: I have divided this into multiple tasks. It may be that someone can join all this together.
1- Find all Session ID form line containing INFO and store it to file t1
awk -F":|," 'FNR==NR && /INFO/ {a[$6$8]++;next} END {for (i in a) print i }' xml_file >t1

2- Remove all log lines (starting with 2013) and store it in t2
awk  '!/^2013/' xml_file >t2

3- Print every XML bulk if it does contain one of the ID found in step 1
awk 'FNR==NR {a[$1]++;next} FNR==1 {RS="</continueProcessing>"} { for (i in a) {if ($0~i) print}}'  t1 t2

I have assumed that all XML section do end with .  If that is not true, this will not work.

Q: SQL Error [23514]: ERROR: new row for relation While copying the data from a CSV file it's throwing the issue as:

SQL Error [23514]: ERROR: new row for relation

The location of the CSV file and the table name have been checked.
I have tried using different delimiter which also ends up with the same error.
copy groups from 'C:/test.csv' DELIMITER '~';

A: According to the list of Postgres error-codes the error code 23514 means "check violation". So you should visit all the CHECK constraints defined on your table and find out, what the problematic constraint checks.
Note that the name of the constraint as well as the offending row are usually mentioned in the error message. It looks like you only posted part of it.

A: Grepping the PostgreSQL source, I assume that the error message really was:
new row for relation "%s" violates check constraint "%s"

You look at the definition of the constraint and the new row, then it will become clear why the error was thrown.

20 Years of Nike Basketball Designs: Air Max 360 Basketball
"You learn from every project that you do, but I can't think of many other projects where we learned so much."- Tracy Teague
While the game of basketball was certainly evolving into a faster, up-and-down game, there was still a player who earned his paycheck with his back to the basket and under the boards. Max Air was always the platform for those athletes who appreciated some assistance on their return to terra firma. In basketball, footwear has to accommodate a 200-plus pound athlete with upwards of 2,000 pounds of force on his feet upon landing. That's some serious force.
Dating back to the first glimpse of Visible Air in 1988's Nike Air Revolution, ballers would peer through the bigger and bigger windows all the way through the Uptempo line's evolution. And over the years, hundreds of different Air Sole units were created for maximum impact protection for the big guys.
Nike Air is the most researched and studied innovation in Nike's history. It was, and still is, the benchmark. But the one limitation for designers is that Nike Air always needs to be encapsulated in foam because the upper needs to be attached to the air bag somehow.
With the advent of the Nike Air Max 360 Air Sole, it was finally possible to create a shoe without foam, thus letting a player ball entirely on air. Utilizing thermoforming technology (versus blow-molding), Nike engineers created a smoother surface at the top of the Air Sole unit to attach it more securely to the upper. While foam has the benefit of an added cushioning tool, foam also compresses over time. So its removal meant longer-lasting consistent cushioning.
"In some ways, the Nike Air Max 360 was really our first Air Max shoe," said Tom Hartge, Creative Director for Advanced Initiatives.
While it was 25 years in the making, the original Nike Air Max 360 Air Sole was created for the running category. Behind the scenes, a brief to apply a variation of the Nike Air Max 360's running bag to a basketball shoe created multiple challenges. Engineers scrutinized the cage to evolve it from linear movement to the lateral movement demands of basketball. Pillar placement necessitated extra alterations as well in order to ensure support where it mattered.
Where the 360 project really excelled was in instigating even more specific basketball-centric innovation along similar lines. The Nike LeBron 7's carefully-honed Max application, free of obstructions, was created on the 360 assignment's learnings to reinforce Nike Basketball's dominance.
In celebration of the summer of basketball, we're revisiting our most iconic Nike Basketball shoes of the past 20 years.

Applied or theoretical, comparativist or not, today's medical anthropologists remain very interested in issues relating to health education and promotion. Medical and popular social representations of the body and of disease—for example, the differing ways in which medical and scientific rhetoric has, across time, anchored popular theories of gender in the body (e.g., Lacquer, 1990; Martin, 1987)—have also received a good deal of attention. The ways in which people come to experience their bodies, according to how they are brought up to believe that their bodies work and should feel or function, has been another very productive topic for exploration, and has generated theories of embodiment and lived experience which sometimes even posit the body and its physiological and anatomical reality as a crucial foundation for the creation of culture itself (e.g., Csordas, 1990; Lakoff, 1987; Sobo, 1996).
Issues related to the therapeutic alliance between patient and practitioner have been perennially popular topics of inquiry for ethnographers, who have long been interested in the psychological aspects of health and in the social and cultural context of medical knowledge and practice. More and more recent works have examined how professionally dominated knowledge and practice patterns are socially established, maintained, expressed, or negotiated—or subverted—during patient-practitioner interaction (e.g., Lindenbaum & Lock, 1993). Other aspects of the therapeutic alliance that have garnered attention include the role of narrative employment and interlocutionary storytelling in healing (e.g., Delvecchio Good & Good, 2000; Mattingly & Garro, 1994), the impact of illness on identity (e.g., Green & Sobo, 2000), and the moral and ethical dimensions of the alliance, especially in relation to new biomedical technology (e.g., Brodwin, 2000; Lock, Young, & Cambrosio, 2000).
Medicalization also has continued appeal as a framework for anthropological health studies.
The pluralistic approach that many patients take to their own health and the impact of the latter on biomedi-cine, which generally assumes that it is the only medical system being consulted, is also an increasingly important area of inquiry. [For example, self-care in relation to bio-medicine, either as a supplement or adjunct to biomedical care or as an alternative when biomedicine fails to meet people's needs or in the case of uninsurance, has received increasing scrutiny (e.g., Vuckovic, 2000).] The impact and approaches of pharmaceutical advertising on self-care patterns are bound to garner increased attention as such advertising becomes routine practice in the United States. The organizational aspects of the failure of systems to meet people's needs, also already an area of concern within international health circles (Justice, 1989), promises to become a more popular area for inquiry as medical anthropology's alliance with health services research at home begins to burgeon.

Li Ge interviewed eight companies in April and all of them were Pass. In fact, he sent resumes to dozens of companies, and finally only 8 companies gave him the opportunity to interview.
Is a 35 – year – old looking for a job so unpopular?
Yes, there is a phenomenon in the workplace: the 35 – year – old phenomenon. Many employers will clearly mark the age below 35 on their recruitment information.
From the company's point of view, I can understand such prejudice. Sometimes, prejudice means rationality.
Why are 35 – year – old professionals rejected by others?
The first is physical strength: most of the middle-aged people in their thirties have been squeezed in the workplace for many years, and their bodies are not as durable as those of young people. You work ten hours a day and tell yourself in your heart that you should pay attention to maintenance, while those young people who can work seventeen or eighteen hours are still happy.
The second is energy: most people in this age group already have families, which means there are many obstacles. You want to go home on time to cook for your children after work, and work is only a part of life.
However, those young people who have just graduated or are less than 30 years old, their life is full of work and go all out for their dreams.
Furthermore, there is potential: many companies would rather give new employees a raise in salary in 1000 yuan than in 500 yuan, because young people have more potential to dig and have higher cost performance, while the cultivation value of middle-aged people is not big, and they are working more by experience.
The greatest advantages of middle-aged professionals: experience, contacts and resources.
Embarrassed is that many people who have worked for ten years have only one or two years of work experience, and then they have used this experience for only ten years. Their growth space is negligible, and their contacts and resources are even less pitiful.
Unless you can bring customers and resources by yourself and bring tangible benefits to the new company, it is really difficult to find a satisfactory next home.
Finally, there is control. After staying in the workplace for a long time, you will be more or less infected with the habits of some professional operators, who are not as obedient as young people.
The company paints big cakes for young people, and they will hear their blood boil and work very hard, but the old bird in the workplace will say in his heart: cheat me again, how many companies have I stayed in, it is the same.
Moreover, they may also share these workplace experiences with the young people in the team. In this way, the cohesion and combat effectiveness of the company will decline.
In fact, it is quite embarrassing for middle-aged people to change jobs because there are many restrictions.
If you are not 35 years old, then this article will probably save your career and life.
In order to avoid the dilemma of middle-aged crisis when we are 35, we need to do 4 things well at present.
I have always believed in this saying: if you go out and mix, you have to pay it back sooner or later.
When you are young, you usually end up in a miserable situation. The salary difference between your thirties and graduates is not big. That shows that you haven't made too much effort in these years. You can also imagine your ability, experience, contacts and resources. These things that will become your capital in the future are lacking.
Therefore, when you are young, you must try your best to improve your own ability and run a valuable network. It is necessary to have at least one specialty. Even if there are changes in the future, there is still a direction and a way out.
The importance of reading, many articles are bad, not much. No matter what stage, people should keep reading, so what books should they read?
Inspirational books need to be read, but they need to be read less. Reading these books is not to imitate the success track of others, but to maintain hope and have the driving force to continue working hard.
Read more practical books, such as books related to your professional skills, such as books on people's principles, such as books on interests, which may improve yourself or become social conversation resources.
Adults' bodies are always on the decline. Exercise is to slow down on the way to retirement.
When you are young, you can work hard, but don't forget to exercise hard, either to keep fit, or to be healthy, in order to have physical strength and lead a good life in the second half.
In addition, the more practical reason is to save money in order to go to less hospitals in the future.
I have never been ashamed to talk about money. I am covered in the stench of copper. I think when I was young, there was nothing wrong with being utilitarian.
If you can't learn anything, earn much money, or get much resources and contacts in a company, then you should not linger too much and choose to leave decisively.
Before the age of 35, it is best to accumulate as much capital as possible to prepare for future changes, to learn to invest, and not to let money idle.
Don't be lazy. If conditions permit, contact with new things more and be a slash youth. You can not only make money, but also find a new way out. Every step you take today has profound meaning.
35 years old is not the starting point or the end point of life. Although there is a way to get to the front of the mountain, I hope that I will make more preparations when I am young and don't hurry up and cry bitterly.
Efforts will eventually make sense. I hope that when people reach middle age, our life will still be in our own hands.
You are not yet middle – aged, and the middle-aged crisis has now emerged.
With the growth of age, a series of problems such as marriage, career and family and the coming of crisis, agitation, depression, fear, worry and so on, we are facing this very great confusion and pressure.
Because I don't know where the road is, I don't know my goals, I don't know my position, so people are full of confusion and anxiety in middle age.
How can it be better? You should think seriously about the following questions and write down the results of your thinking in your notebook to go through every day and put them into action.
First of all, let me ask you a question. What kind of life is better for you? What kind of life do you want?
Give yourself a clear blueprint. If you don't even think clearly about the life you want, where is your goal?
Second, quickly find their own position.
Many people have been busy all their lives, but they don't even know what they want. Busy and careful to live.
The world is so big and there are so many temptations.
Give up when one thing has not been learned, then do the next thing, then give up … go around, go back and forth, like the monkey that wrenches the corn in the story, and finally get nothing.
We live with endless desires, and we cannot finish them one by one.
What if there are many interests?
First there is a special subject, then how long.
Therefore, we should learn to choose and do things related to our own positioning.
What is positioning? It is something that is easy to do by oneself but relatively difficult for others to do. Through these other people to do it is very difficult, we do relatively easy high-value things, we can use the minimum cost, do professional, live the life we want.
There are three kinds of people in this world: those who are unwilling to be mediocre and work hard. Just want to mediocre people for a lifetime; There is another kind of person who lives the most tangled life, unwilling to be mediocre but unwilling to do it. This kind of person is always confused between reality and future, between doing and not doing, wasting a lot of time.
Don't choose comfort at the age when you should struggle most.
Different perceptions of life will determine different attitudes and achieve different life postures.

I visited Heather this morning because I wanted to see her one last time before she left for ten months. I gave her a hug and said I had to run off to work. The truth was I could feel a massive amount of tears welling up, and I decided I should go before the dam burst, but all I wanted to do was stay there and hug her for as long as possible and cry. I'll miss her so much.
Have a good trip Nuckers, come home safe.

Thinking about how to keep things environmentally friendly for your private or corporate event is not new. However, in 2019, this is one of the trends to watch, as guests are becoming more critical of waste. What are some of the things you can do to ensure your event gives off the proper socially conscious feel? Here are a few ways to host a sustainable event.
Use the right caterer – Finding a caterer who locally sources foods from farmers is a great way to promote your event as favoring sustainability. If the local farmers use sustainable growing practices, that's even better.
Shop for an environmentally friendly venue – Do the bathrooms use hand dryers instead of paper towels? Perhaps the building itself is recycled in a way (some venues were once an old abandoned barn or other building, for example). Does the facility recycle? There should be a separate garbage bin for things like bottles, can, and other recyclables.
Donate the leftovers – While a good catering company should be able to get close on the food, they are always going to err on the side of having a little extra for your guests. Could you consider donating the leftovers to feed the hungry or homeless in your area?
If your event will be held in San Jose or the Bay Area, let Caterman Catering help you plan an environmentally friendly gathering. From weddings and private parties to corporate events and conferences, we've been providing satisfying meals for guests for more than 30 years. Call us today at 408-441-8719 to give your event attendees what they want.


I ate way too corn chips today. The majority of the time I eat healthy, but I bought my husband chips to eat during the super bowl and it was downhill from there. It also reminded me why I normally cook everything from scratch. The chips have sat heavy in my stomach all evening. To make up for the over eating of chips I ate leftovers for the last two days. I love utilizing leftovers, it is a great way to save money and I try to change the dish slightly when I re-heat it so my family accepts it happily. Chicken and pasta recipes are my two favorite type of leftovers. They re-heat well and can be adjusted slightly to make new meals. Last week I tried a new recipe for Vinegar Braised Chicken and Onions from the February 2013 issue of Bon Appetit magazine.
This recipe has 10 ingredients. It takes an hour and 20 minutes, 40 minutes of which is active and makes 6 servings. Finding fresh pearl onions in my area is always a task. They are only available in 6 ounce packages, which are overpriced. Given the price I bought only 18 ounces not the 2 pounds suggest by the recipe. Additionally pancetta in my area comes pre-cubed in 4 ounce packages, so that is the manner I bought them. As I almost always do I made my own chicken stock. This allows me to control the amount of sodium and ensure that it is gluten free. Finally, to thicken up the sauce at the end I added a small amount of cornstarch. Without the cornstarch the sauce was thin and greasy. I skimmed the fat and then added approximately a tablespoon of water mixed with a tablespoon of water. This allowed the sauce to thicken nicely and was perfect served with rice. I followed the remainder of the recipe as written.
The sauce on this chicken was delicious. It was a nice combination of sweet from the vinegars and savory from the onions. The chicken turned out tender and cooked perfectly. The sauce when served over rice worked well and would make a nice pasta sauce as well. The combination of vinegars was perfect and is something I will try again in the future with other dishes and meats.
For the recipe go to Vinegar Braised Chicken and Onions.
Thanks :) Glad that I could help!
This looks so yummy! Thanks for linking this up with the MMM!
This looks so good! I'm the same as you - put chips in front of me and it's all over!
I've really enjoyed browsing through your blog ... you have some incredible recipes you've made. Thanks so much for your visit to my blog. It's great connecting through Bloggy Moms.
Thanks for the sweet comments, come back again soon!
The only thing I've ever used pearl onions in is my beef stew - this sounds like another great option for them, though!!
Pearl onions are great in recipes, I love them!
Mmmm, this would be delicious after a night of just corn chips. I would need something hearty and healthy too! Chips have always been my nemesis. I'm quite addicted and cannot have them in the house.
Visiting from the Mom's Mingle. Now following via GFC Twitter and Instagram. Would love a return visit?
Followed you back :) Come visit again soon!
Sweet & savory is just my speed. Thanks for sharing!
I love sweet and savory too, it's a yummy combination!
Hello, this dish looks amazing. I like to try to bring new life to my left-overs, just so I don't get that crazy look from my family. I also believe that most pasta dishes taste better after a day or two anyways. I am your newest GFC follower, and found via 'Nice To Meet You Blog Hop'. I hope you have a wonderful day.
That looks sooooo amazing.... Yum!
Wow, that looks so good......Thank you for sharing with the Clever Chicks Blog Hop this week; I hope you'll join us again!

The event is for anyone who has been affected by the disease or those who would like to learn more about it.
Tori Tomalia, two-time lung cancer survivor and blogger, will be sharing her story with the community. Dr. Vita McCabe will be speaking as well.
Tomalia, a nonsmoker, said she was diagnosed with lung cancer after having a series of bad chest colds and asthma.
"I have since learned that anyone with lungs can get lung cancer," Tomalia said.
St. Joe's physicians from multiple departments dealing with cancer will be available for question-and-answer sessions in order to help educate the community about lung cancer Dr. McCabe said.
McCabe said there is an expected 28 percent increase in the diagnosis of lung cancer within the next few years, based on statistics. Before February of this year, lung cancer was known as the silent killer because it did not have a nationally recommended screening exam. Now it does, McCabe said.
Shine a Light On Lung Cancer is the largest coordinated awareness event for lung cancer in the world. This event occurs in 200 cities in the United States, as well as other countries.
Those who attend the event can use Parking Lot P. This event is free and open to the public. For more information, call 734-712-4673.


President Trump's on-again, off-again travel ban is off again, at least in principle.
The U.S. Fourth Circuit Court of Appeals said the ban -- the third one -- is unconstitutional. The appeals court said in International Refugee Assistance Project v. Trump that the ban wrongfully discriminates against people of Islamic faith.
However, the decision does not supersede the U.S. Supreme Court's decision in December that allowed the ban to stand pending litigation. If you are confused, you may want to get off the bus now because it's headed back to Washington.
The Supreme Court is scheduled to hear arguments in April and to issue a ruling by the end of June. In the meantime, the attorneys in the case are scrutinizing the Fourth Circuit ruling.
"Examining official statements from President Trump and other executive branch officials, along with the proclamation itself, we conclude that the proclamation is unconstitutionally tainted with animus toward Islam," Chief Judge Roger Gregory wrote in the ruling.
In the 9-4 decision, the majority said Trump showed his bias against Muslims before and after he was elected. Gregory noted Trump's "disparaging comments and tweets regarding Muslims," and his campaign promise of "a total and complete shutdown of Muslims entering the United States."
The current ban blocks most people from Chad, Iran, Libya, Somalia, Syria, and Yemen. Many are barred from working, studying or vacationing in the United States.
The Fourth Circuit is the second federal appeals court to rule against the revised executive order. The Ninth Circuit ruled against it on other grounds in December, and both appeals courts have blocked previous versions of the ban.
Dissenting in the Fourth's latest ruling, Judge Paul Niemeyer said the majority should not have considered Trump's political comments to interpret the travel order. He said the ruling could open the door for courts to second-guess executive actions.
"At bottom, the danger of this new rule is that it will enable a court to justify its decision to strike down any executive action with which it disagrees," he said. "It need only find one statement that contradicts the official reasons given for a subsequent executive action and thereby pronounce that the official reasons were a pretext."
