Senate in brief
Principal's report
In his report to Senate, Principal Daniel Woolf wished students and faculty the best of luck with end-of-term papers and exams. He also thanked Queen's staff for their contributions, adding that Staff Appreciation Day will take place Monday, December 5. All are encouraged to come out to the day's events.
Other updates included:
• The John Orr Award Dinner, held November 19 in Toronto, honouring former Principal Tom Williams;
• Federal and provincial government relations;
• The centenary meeting of the Association of Universities and Colleges of Canada, held last month in Montreal;
• The recent Military and Veteran Health Research Forum, hosted by Queen's and the Royal Military College of Canada;
• A book called Academic Reform by Ian Clark and others that discusses policy options for undergraduate education in Ontario.
Provost's report
Provost Alan Harrison submitted a written report to Senate.
He also responded to a question from the floor asking for more details about the Vice-Principals' Operations Committee. He noted that the committee allows the university's vice-principals to meet regularly, so that decisions that might have been taken by an individual vice-principal will now be informed by structured conversation. It will help ensure that when a decision is made, other areas of the university that might be affected are both informed and have an opportunity to comment on it and can share in the decision-making process.
Other reports requested by Senate
Interim University Registrar Teresa Alm provided an oral update on university enrolment. She reported that undergraduate enrolment is on target with the enrolment plan. Compared to last year, actual full-time enrolment across all years has increased by 500 students. The School of Graduate Studies has experienced growth, but remains slightly below enrolment targets. In the School of Business, MBA enrolment is on target, and Master of Management programs show significant growth. International students make up 5 per cent of the undergraduate student population and 20 per cent of the graduate student population. The official enrolment report for the 2011-12 academic year will be submitted to Senate in January.
Question period
A discussion was held in response to Senator Morelli's questions about the suspension of admissions to the Bachelor of Fine Art (BFA) program. Dean of Arts and Science Alistair MacLean, Principal Woolf and Provost Harrison responded to Senator Morelli's questions. University lawyer Diane Kelly also clarified that the decision to suspend enrolment to the program was within Dr. MacLean's authority as the faculty dean.
Reports of committees
Senate unanimously approved the Queen's University Academic Plan 2011. For details, see the Queen's News Centre story.
Senate also approved the elections to Senate committees.
Senate received for information reports from the Senate Operations Review Committee and the Senate Orientation Activities Review Board.
Reports of Faculties and Affiliated Colleges
Orientation reports were submitted to Senate for information by the Faculty of Education, the School of Graduate Studies, the Faculty of Law and the School of Medicine.
A motion regarding the official grading system of the university carried. Senate has asked its Academic Procedures Committee (SCAP) to report on the provisions they have implemented regarding the new grading practices.
A motion regarding university processes surrounding the suspension or cancellation of enrolment to programs was tabled until the January Senate meeting.
Communications and reports submitted to Senate
The Research report and Exit Poll 2011 survey results were submitted to Senate for information. For more information about the Exit Poll 2011 results, see the Queen's News Centre story.
The minutes of the meeting will be posted to the University Secretariat website.

Help for Insomnia
Q I've been having bouts of insomnia lately. I have racing thoughts and find it hard to "shut down." And sometimes after I do finally fall asleep, I wake up at around 3 a.m. for no apparent reason. What can I do to sleep soundly?
A Restful sleep provides the foundation for your mental and physical well- being. Millions of people suffer with some form of insomnia, resulting in fatigue, lack of mental alertness and weakened physical and mental health. All the cells in your body need their rest to function at their best.
After a day of stimulating activity, your body needs deep sleep. Aim for 6 to 8 hours of nightly sound slumber without the need for any medication. Going to bed around 10 p.m. is ideal since it allows the body's rhythms to slow down naturally, gives a deeper, more relaxing sleep and provides time for the body to generate new tissue. To promote restful sleep, try the following routine:
• Eat a relatively light dinner, no later than 7 p.m. so you don't go to bed on a full stomach.
• Minimize activities that are exciting, aggravating or mentally intensive after 8:30 p.m.
• Aim to be in bed, with the lights out, between 9:30 p.m. and 10:30 p.m. If you're not used to getting to bed this early, move your bedtime up by half an hour every week, until you are in bed by 10:30 p.m.
• About an hour before bedtime, run a hot bath into which you place a few drops of a calming aromatherapy essential oil such as lavender, sandalwood or vanilla.
• While soaking, have the lights low or burn a candle, and listen to soothing music.
• After your bath, drink something warm. It can be a cup of warm milk with nutmeg and honey, or some chamomile or valerian root tea.
• Journal before bed, even for a few minutes, especially if your mind is very active, "downloading" some of your thoughts and concerns so you don't need to ruminate about them when you shut your eyes.
• Read inspirational literature for a few minutes before bed. Avoid dramatic novels or distressing reading material.
• Once you're in bed, close your eyes and simply "feel your body." By feeling your body, I mean bring your attention into your body and wherever you notice tension; consciously relax that area.
• Notice your slow easy breathing, until you fall asleep. It's helpful to remember that if you're lying still in bed, quietly observing your breath, your metabolic activity is nearly as low as if you were in deep sleep. Therefore, don't worry if you don't immediately fall asleep; by not worrying, you'll more quickly drift off into a deep slumber.

"It's possible to raise a blue marlin any month of the year here in the Gulf," Perry explains. "And there's always the chance for a grander. I was on Uptoit in 2005, and we caught a 542 during a tournament, and it was good only for third place. But that's why the Gulf is so good. In these blue waters, you never know what will pop up into the spread."
Go It Alone
Capt. Jason Buck has been running Done Deal, a 56 Viking based in Houma, Louisiana, for five years. The boat returned from abroad this past season and quickly established marks that won't soon be repeated. It started with the top release award in the Mobile Big Game Club's Memorial Day Tournament, with five blue marlin. The team then took second place in the Mississippi Gulf Coast Billfish Classic (563.8 pounds) and set a new tournament record in the Emerald Coast Blue Marlin Classic with a blue weighing 783.6 pounds. Adding to the tally were several top awards in the game-fish divisions.
"We couldn't do anything wrong," Buck says modestly. "I have an extremely aggressive boss who is willing to go all out in the tournaments. I have awesome mates who run the cockpit, and great anglers. It all boils down to a team effort."
Live-baiting is Done Deal's specialty, and Buck prefers large, freshly caught skipjack tuna bridled with 12/0 up to 22/0 circle hooks, depending on the bait size. Rods are matched with standard 80 reels loaded with 80- or 100-pound-test line and 400-pound leaders. Up to three baits are deployed from short to long behind the boat.
"There are no fences out there," Buck explains. "In the Gulf, we see 'em as big as they can get." The Spur, various oil rigs south of the Mississippi River, and the southern part of the Green Canyon are Buck's favorite spots to target large blues. "If you just camp out there, on the average you'll do really well. We like to get off by ourselves, away from everyone else," he adds

I recently converted a vb.net program that extracts attribute data to work with ACAD2013. The program runs but is very slow It takes a full 10 minutes to read 120 small dwg files. The same program running in ACAD2010 takes about 3 seconds. Has anyone else run into this?
Thanks in Advance
Solved! Go to Solution.
can you send us some sample code please? I'd like to test it for you to see where the problem is.
For x As Integer = 0 To UBound(listOfFiles) Dim layoutStrings() As String = Nothing Dim acCurDB As New Database(False, True) acCurDB.ReadDwgFile(listOfFiles(x), FileOpenMode.OpenForReadAndReadShare, True, "") Using acTrans As Transaction = acCurDB.TransactionManager.StartTransaction Dim acLayoutMgr As LayoutManager acLayoutMgr = LayoutManager.Current Dim layoutdict As DBDictionary = acTrans.GetObject(acCurDB.LayoutDictionaryId, OpenMode.ForRead) ReDim layoutStrings(layoutdict.Count - 2) For Each Ent As DBDictionaryEntry In layoutdict Dim desc_Txt As String = "" Dim lay As Layout = acTrans.GetObject(Ent.Value, OpenMode.ForRead) Dim layBTRId As ObjectId = lay.BlockTableRecordId Dim btr As BlockTableRecord = TryCast(layBTRId.GetObject(OpenMode.ForRead), BlockTableRecord) If (Not lay.LayoutName = "Model") Then myWS.Cells(curRow, "D") = File.GetLastWriteTime(listOfFiles(x)) For Each entId3 As ObjectId In btr Dim ent3 As Entity = entId3.GetObject(OpenMode.ForRead) Dim nextRow As Boolean = False If TypeOf ent3 Is DatabaseServices.BlockReference Then Dim bref As BlockReference = ent3 Dim atts As AttributeCollection = bref.AttributeCollection For Each attId As ObjectId In atts Dim AttRef As AttributeReference = attId.GetObject(OpenMode.ForRead) Select Case AttRef.Tag Case getTags(0) If Trim(AttRef.TextString) <> "" Then myWS.Cells(curRow, "A") = AttRef.TextString myWS.Cells(curRow, "J") = fixDwgName(AttRef.TextString) myWS.Cells(curRow, "G") = ListOfNames(x) End If Case getTags(1) If Trim(AttRef.TextString) <> "" Then myWS.Cells(curRow, "C") = Trim(AttRef.TextString) End If Case getTags(2) If Trim(AttRef.TextString) <> "" Then myWS.Cells(curRow, "E") = Trim(AttRef.TextString) End If Case getTags(3) If Trim(AttRef.TextString) <> "" Then myWS.Cells(curRow, "F") = Trim(AttRef.TextString) End If End Select Next attId Dim tempstr As String = "" For x2 As Integer = 4 To getTags.Count - 1 For Each attId As ObjectId In atts Dim AttRef As AttributeReference = attId.GetObject(OpenMode.ForRead) If AttRef.Tag = getTags(x2) Then tempstr = tempstr + AttRef.TextString + " " End If Next attId Next If (Not Trim(tempstr) = "") Then myWS.Cells(curRow, "B") = Trim(tempstr) End If If nextRow = True Then curRow += 1 End If End If 'End If 'invp Next entId3 curRow += 1 End If 'MsgBox("layoutname = " + lay.LayoutName) Next acTrans.Dispose() End Using acCurDB.CloseInput(True) Next
Here it is Some of it. I hope it's all you need.
Thanks Very Much
remove closeInput and also try changing the open mode to just read (no sharing)
Try commiting your transaction instead of disposing it which will call Abort
Removing CloseInput helped. Still Not as fast as 2010 and it crashes at about 1600 drawings always on a different drawing though. Is anything else wrong that you can see? I also committed the Transaction instead of disposing it
Thanks Again
make sure you set the workingDatabase. Also, if you are not writing anything I recommend you use StartOpenCloseTransaction instead of StartTransaction
I added your recommendations but it still crashes with the following error at around 1600 drawings out of 2100.
System.AccessViolationException was unhandled
Message=Attempted to read or write protected memory. This is often an indication that other memory is corrupt.
at Autodesk.AutoCAD.Runtime.RXObject.DeleteUnmanagedO
at Autodesk.AutoCAD.Runtime.DisposableWrapper.!Dispos
at Autodesk.AutoCAD.Runtime.DisposableWrapper.Dispose
You do not need to explicitly dispose your transaction as you're using a 'Using' block.
You might dispose the side Database too.
Using acCurDB As New Database(False, True) acCurDB.ReadDwgFile(listOfFiles(x), FileOpenMode.OpenForReadAndReadShare, True, "") Using acTrans As Transaction = acCurDB.TransactionManager.StartTransaction ' ... End Using End Using
Disposing of the side database worked. AS far as speed goes I was running the program in Debug Mode. The release version is as fast as 2010 if not faster.
Thanks Again

PLATTSBURGH — The devastation was tremendous.
"The first thing you notice is just pile after pile of people's property out in front of their houses so the sanitation department can come pick it up," James Carlin of Plattsburgh said, describing the scene on Staten Island during a recent trip to help Superstorm Sandy victims.
"Everything you can possibly think of — people's whole lives — basically piled in a rubble pile on the side of the road."
Beach grass, pieces of boardwalk and picnic tables littered people's backyards; piles of rubbish 30 feet long and 7 to 8 feet high fronted most houses. Many basements still hadn't had the seawater pumped out two weeks later.
When Carlin and several family members headed out from Plattsburgh, they brought along about 2,000 pounds of various cleaning supplies, water, clothing and blankets. They also brought cash quickly raised by the Lion's Club and the North Country Mission of Hope.
Through a nephew, they hooked up with a volunteer group called Rebuild Staten Island.
They were assigned to assist a specific family trying to recover from the storm. The couple were pretty discouraged, Carlin said.
"They really hadn't seen much progress in a matter of weeks, but just to hear the owner of the house laughing at one point ... was great.
"You know ... they just saw some progress and saw some hope," he said
The significance of the trip wasn't lost on Carlin's son, 16-year-old Leagon.
"I'll definitely take home a new perspective on things," the younger Carlin said. "It's just awful. (But) it shows how people can just come together from sadness."
After their weekend of work in Staten Island, James Carlin said he isn't adverse to the idea of making another trip to help in the storm-torn area.

NATO's leaders adopted a new Strategic Concept that will be the roadmap for the Organization for the next decade. Secretary General Anders Fogh Rasmussen said, "NATO will be more effective, more engaged in the world and more efficient than ever before".
This new Strategic Concept has often been portrayed as a balancing act. How to balance new threats with old ones? How to accomodate the interests of small countries and big ones? Now that it has been signed, how was the Concept seen?

Some concrete answers: www.blackdiamondequipment.com/en-us/shop/climb/protection/ca>>>
dont be fooled wont be for sale until late march or as late as early may
they will most likely be "unavailable to order" with the print "available in March/April," well into July.
BD (and basically all other gear companies) are usually late regarding roll-out of new products by their stated deadline. I wouldn't expect to actually see these things until end of summer, maybe later.
The new sizes are funky with regard to the color scheme of the old sizes. What I mean is, I would think that BD would have made the new red X4 correspond with the same size as the red C3. They did not. The new red X4 size .1 (smallest one) range: .33 - .54 in. strength: 5kn Purple C3 size 00 range: .35 - .54 in. strength: 6kn The only real improvement I can see is that it has greater flexibility laterally than the C3. Range - same. Strength - less. Surface area lobe contact - debatable. In the smallest of sizes, the double axle amazingly greater expansion range blah blah doesn't hold up- unless you consider 1/50 of an inch a profound improvement. Further up in size, the .75 C4 range and the .75 X4 is the exact same. The head width looks smaller on the X4. The stems on the C4s are fairly flexible. I would wager that the stems on the X4s are a little more flexible- more like Mastercams. The X4s are probably a little lighter as well, but I don't know for sure. My point with all this super geek jargon is that for sizes .75 through 00 in the BD brand, they want you to pay $10 more for each cam for questionable improvements in usable range, flexibility, weight, an overall loss in strength, and a noticeable improvement in head width (for the top three sizes). Worth it? Did I miss anything?
I never understood why people run out and buy the first rendition of a new product. You know they are just gonna be either recalled or redesigned within a season or two to fix any issues or to make it better. Anytime I've done that I always wish I ended up waiting.
My point is that it's really not a better product than what's already out there by BD. Unless flexibility, smaller head width in three sizes, and covering 8 (only 7 if you count the .3 and .2 as the same size) of their old cams with 6 sizes = a vast improvement, a roughly 15% increase in price doesn't really fly. Seems to me like they just really wanted to compete with Mastercams in the .75 and down range. There's probably nothing wrong with them. I'm sure they're great cams, but the mind-blowing improvement hype doesn't really hold water. Especially not at $70 a cam in smaller sizes that aren't as strong as the previous product in that range.
The metal Y triple swage junction looks massive, itll definitely load funky over a lip. Scott's got the right idea, wait until the kinks are worked out...
They needed to fill a hole in THEIR product lineup. Narrow-head, four-lobed, small cams. Now someone doesn't have to buy MasterCams or Aliens - they can stick with BD the whole way through. C3s can supplement. How many rack building threads are answered "0.5-3 C4s to start and MasterCams/similar for smaller"? Evidently BD read at least some of those threads and wanted to capture more of the small cam market.
the c4s arent that flexible ... i dont call a cam flexible until you can bend it back over at least partially ... ;)
BD X4 [.1] 8.4-13.8 mm (.33-.54 in) [.2] 9.9-16.5 mm (.34-.65 in) [.3] 12.4-21.2 mm (.49-.83 in) [.4] 15.5-26.6 mm (.61-1.05 in) [.5] 19.8-33.7 mm (.78-1.33 in) [.75] 24-41.2 mm (.94-1.62 in) BD C3 (size 000) 7.8-12.9 mm, 0.30-0.50 in (size 00) 9.0-13.7 mm, 0.35-0.54 in (size 0) 10.7-15.8 mm, 0.42-0.62 in (size 1) 12.0-18.8 mm, 0.47-0.74 in (size 2) 14.2-22.6 mm, 0.56-0.89 in Metolius Master [00] 8.3 -13.9mm (0.33-.55 in) [0] 9.6-15.4mm (.38-.61 in) [1] 12.1-19.3mm (.49-.71 in) [2] 15.4-24.1mm (.61-.95 in) [3] 18.5-28.7mm (.73-1.13 in) [4] 23.3-35.5mm (.92-1.4 in)
"I'm actually really looking forward to the .1-.3 X4s" Dido
To boil this down more: Size-for-size (somewhat inexact because they don't perfectly correspond), X4's have 1.2 times (.2 X4 vs 00 Met) to 1.4 times (.75 X4 vs #4 Met) the range of a corresponding Metolius. Even messing around some more, I can't find a way to get an X4 that is less than 1.1 times the range of a corresponding Metolius size. A full run of X4's will weight about 1.5 oz more than a corresponding set of five Mastercams. Seems pretty negligeable. I haven't seen widths published, so who knows how much you gain there. The X4's are priced $10 more than Mastercams. So the question then is the 20% or so greater range worth $10 per cam ($50 per set)? Edit: Forgot to include the .1 X4... fair enough, they probably aren't great for much more than body weight.
I'm working on my rack and currently have no small cams. Would it be worth it to wait on these or go ahead and get some mastercams?

Ongoing, long-term planning efforts by the City of Bishop have now arrived in the realm of economic development.
After addressing other areas in recent years such as mobility and housing, officials are now taking a serious look at the current economic situation in Bishop, what needs to change, what should stay the same and how any potential change should be put into effect.
Essentially, according to Planning Director Gary Schley, the city is creating an updated road map that future projects, funding allotments and legislative changes will follow.
Scott Matthew Stevenson
Scott Stevenson, 47 years old, passed away on July 1, 2014, at his home in Canyon Country. In the last weeks of his life , he was surrounded by family and friends.
He was born in Los Angeles on July 7, 1966. At that time he lived in Wrightwood. Two years later he moved with his family to Independence. He graduated from Owens Valley High School. After attending schools in California and Arizona, he received certificates in auto, diesel, and air conditioning mechanics.
C.B. Jack Frost
Born in Fresno on Feb. 8, 1944 to C.B. Jack Frost Sr. and Georgerina Frost, C.B. Jack Frost, age 70, passed away on July 12, 2014 at Northern Inyo Hospital in Bishop surrounded by his loved ones. He lived in Big Pine for 28 years.
Phyllis Ann Coufal
Phyllis Ann Coufal, age 82, resident of Bishop for 24 years, born in Valparaiso Neb. on Feb. 24, 1932 passed away peacefully on July 15, 2014. She was surrounded by her number one priority, her family.
Phyllis was born and raised on a farm in southeastern Nebraska. She met her husband-to-be, Alois Coufal at a church dance and was married shortly thereafter on April 24, 1950. They moved to Southern California in January 1956, living in Anaheim until 1990 when they moved to Bishop.
WeŌĆÖre going to try this again.
After putting a call out for submissions for the Second Annual ŌĆ£A Day in the Life of Inyo CountyŌĆØ keepsake publication and receiving a grand total of two submissions by SundayŌĆÖs deadline, The Inyo Register is going back to the drawing board.
Readers are now asked to keep track of what they do this Friday, July 25. A synopsis of what they did that day, along with any related photographs, may then be submitted to the Register by 5 p.m. Monday, July 28 for publication in the Thursday, July 31 ŌĆ£Day in the LifeŌĆØ special edition.
Inyo County is moving forward with a plan for improving Bishop Airport.
Last week, county Public Works and a new contractor briefted the Inyo County Board of Supervisors and Northern Inyo Airport Advisory Committee on efforts to create a plan for the airport that will improve services and make the facility more desirable for commercial and private pilots.
Inyo County has released a draft environmental report on the Eastern Sierra Adventure Trails project that proposes to designate some county-maintained streets and roads in each community as ŌĆ£dual use,ŌĆØ giving drivers of green sticker off-highway vehicles permission to use the roads.
The ponds at the Bishop Paiute Reservation are one step closer to being ŌĆ£stockedŌĆØ with fish, one with immeasurable value to the tribe: the Owens Valley pupfish.
The hardy little species once populated valley waters from Fish Slough north of Bishop to the Owens River delta north of Lone Pine and served as a food source to the Native Americans. The ponds constructed specifically for the long anticipated arrival of pupfish represent the one opportunity for the Tribe to preserve the culturally important species, according to Brian Adkins, director of the TribeŌĆÖs Environmental Management Office.
Next week, under the warm Eastern Sierra Nevada sky, a team of Bishop Paiute Tribe job trainees will construct four solar electric systems for low-income families on the Reservation, from start to finish.
This work is part of the on-the-job solar training program with non-profit solar installer, GRID Alternatives, which makes renewable energy technology and training accessible to underserved communities.
Independence residents Rich and Kathy White, and their team of volunteers from throughout Inyo County, are at it again.
For the eighth year in row, the couple have spearheaded the effort to take an Inyo County exhibit to the California State FairŌĆÖs California Counties showcase. And for the eighth year in a row, the exhibit designed by the Whites and put together with the help of businesses and agencies from all over the Eastern Sierra is an award-winner.

Gering woman charged with stealing narcotics from Scottsbluff pharmacy
A Gering woman has been arrested on two felony charges after being accused of stealing narcotics from the pharmacy she worked for.
According to court documents, 26-year-old Jami Nelson was observed on surveillance cameras taking Hydrocodone and Ibuprofen from Walgreens on July 25th. Walgreen's officials waited until Nelson returned from maternity leave on October 1st before confronting her with the theft.
Scottsbluff police contacted Nelson and she admitted to taking drugs from Walgreens for over 14 months, and admitted she had taken the pills on July 25th. Nelson told investigators she would take ten pills at time, and concealed them in her pockets or a bag.
Nelson has been charged with theft by taking, a class III felony, and possession of a controlled substance, a class IV felony. Nelson was released on a $2,500 cash bond, and will have her first appearance in Scotts Bluff County court on October 19th. She faces up to 25 years in prison, and a $35,000 fine if convicted.

Kimpton to Build Stunning New Palm Springs Hotel
Gay-friendly hotel brand Kimpton has released some beautiful renderings of a new 190-room four-star hotel to be built in downtown Palm Springs.
The Hotel Palomar will be completed in 2015 and is the first large-scale hotel complex to be developed in the downtown area of Palm Springs since the late '80s, according to the Desert Sun.
The ultra-modern structure is replacing the unpopular Desert Fashion Plaza currently being demolished to the delight of many locals. The Hotel Palomar is essentially considered a high-rise building in Palm Springs, even though it will stand only a few stories tall because of height restrictions within the small cosmopolitan desert city.
One of the coolest features of the property will be a rooftop bar and pool, which Kimpton touts is a first for the Palm Springs area.
Check out more sleek and sexy renderings of the new Hotel Palomar below.

I haven't thought these thoughts so eloquently, but I have thought many times that I wished I'd been more attuned to my interests and skills and more aware of opportunities in those areas before choosing a career path. I think I was so worried in my twenties about figuring out what I was "supposed" to do that I overlooked the things I would love to do.ReplyDelete
( I also used to obsess about room decor and I draw diagrams of apartments and furniture arrangements when I was a kid. Funny.) -- Kara B.
I can assure you you are not alone! It is exhausting to care about design but I don't know any other way...like you it has been going on since childhood :)ReplyDelete
I am terrified of this very thing. I am in my 20s and about to change jobs for the third time since graduating college. I'm desperate to keep paying the bills (my student loans are around $700 a month). Then, There are things like rent and car Insurance to consider.ReplyDelete
I'm passionate about my handmade business and busting my bum to make it work and make it my career.
Thank you friends-I am already feeling better about actually publishing that post!ReplyDelete
Kara- I did exactly what you described, and the "supposed to" didn't leave any room for the "I love to".
Beth-YES, it is exhausting! Especially when there's a blank wall staring back at you or a party to plan.
Kasey-Man, if only we didn't have stinkin' student loans...Can you imagine the freedom?? Keep doing what you're doing, so you can look back on your 20's without regrets. I'm shooting to do the same for my 30's!
I love the idea that "we all are curators of something" and it makes me pay attention to what I'm "curating".ReplyDelete
p.s.- How much awesomeness is rearranging furniture? I <3 it!
Wonderfully put! I am definately a "weirdo" curator. Welcome to the club! Sometimes my house only get's clean because I'm curating. It's hard to express to other non-curators out there what we are like but it's nice to find others here in blog land.ReplyDelete
- AnonymousMarch 24, 2012 at 8:17 AM
My sister and I spent hours drawing up floor plans and coloring them in with our colored pencils. It was so much fun and I wish I had done something with it career-wise, but I didn't. Now, I'm a stay at home Mom and I don't really have time to pursue it, maybe someday. It's never too late. By the way, you are far from a weirdo. I really enjoy your blog and I know I'm not alone. Please don't regret your choices, they are what got you to this point and you can't change the past anyway, but you can make choices today that will put you closer to the future you want. I hope this isn't too preachy, it was meant to encourage and I'm talking to myself as much as you if not more. So, please be encouraged and have a wonderful day :)ReplyDelete
I looked up the definition a while ago, because I too love the word and think of myself as a curator. I must have used the wrong dictionary, because I like your definition more than the one I found, which was not me at all. Yes, you don't need a museum to curate beauty in life! Best to you!ReplyDelete
So much of what you've written here resonates with me. I too have underestimated and neglected my creative talents in the past. And I feel like I am only now (in my early 30s) truly embracing them. How thrilling to discover that we are all curators of our own lives! Thanks for the reminder.ReplyDelete
I'm a fellow weirdo as well! I often kick myself for not paying enough attention to what I love to and choosing interior design as a career. It seems so obvious a choice to me know, why did I not think of it much, much earlier. I guess though it is never too late?ReplyDelete
As you know, I completely relate.ReplyDelete
When I got out of high school my first goal was to be an interior decorator. While that's not exactly what I want to do now, it's so much more in line with what I want to do and there is a part of me that regrets not going down that path. At the same time though, the path I did take taught me a lot, and I'm sure I'll be able to use those skills whatever direction I do take. Same with you. Don't lose sight of what you have learned and done. Find a way to incorporate it into your next journey. And who knows, perhaps doing this now opposed to your 20's, you'll be more ready for it.
Onto the next chapter!
Ladies, your comments have meant so much to me...I hesitated even posting this, but hearing your responses makes me glad I did. I so value open conversations and appreciate your honesty and encouragement more than you know:)ReplyDelete
Funny thing, I had these exact same thoughts and feelings just a few days ago. I was rearranging my living room for the gazillionth time and began to wonder if I had a "problem". I lie in bed at night and let all of the crazy creative thoughts run as I doze off to sleep. Of course I have a problem and I LOVE it! I,like you, also thought up floor plans and often rearranged my very own bedroom at a young age. I am now 28 and have a short two years left in my twenties. I'm DYING to pursue a career in the design field but I'm a chicken and I'm overwhelmed with all of the other amazing talented designers out there. I have a MAJOR fear of failure in this area for some reason? We'll see I guess!ReplyDelete
It's always surprising to find out that others have the same experiences and fears as you do. It makes us feel so much more normal! :) It's never too late to change your career path, if it makes you happy; never stop changing.ReplyDelete
Have a thought? Leave a comment! Question? Ask away. I love hearing from old friends and new readers alike.

I have been programming midi for many years and I am currently authoring SP content professionally.
Recently I have come up against extreme difficulty in getting files to open in the above named handsets (Nokia's 4 note range).
I have read many, if not all of the published documents on SP midi that are available through the forum. I have tested exhaustively on the 6100 and although I can get files to work eventually - I cannot define exactly where the boundries lay between a file working and not.
It was my understanding, especially after digesting the notes from seminars by Mr.Dolby and the like that a 'one size fits all' approach to authoring files was possible using SP midi - This, in my opinion is clearly not possible without seriously compromising the quality of ringtones.
It appears to me that the problems with these phones are not file size related - I've had some success when reducing the amount of program change messages that I've used, but due to other tests that I've done - I know that there's more to the issue than this.
Please can anyone tell me where I can find advanced technical data on the 6100 and/or the 3510's synth capabilities - particularly regarding limitations.
Thank You.

It was supposed to be John Skelton's time to shine. All of the ingredients were there-- a late injury to Kevin Kolb, an overtime game, and an opportunity to rise from the ashes like a phoenix, in well, close proximity to Phoenix, in University of Phoenix stadium; okay, you get what we're going for here.
Basically John Skelton had one thing he couldn't do, this:

Springfield, Mass. - November 2, 2013 - The Springfield College women's volleyball team clinched the top seed in the upcoming conference tournament after besting Wellesley College in five sets Saturday afternoon in New England Women's and Men's Athletic Conference (NEWMAC). Set scores were 25-14, 25-11, 22-25, 24-26, 15-11.
This afternoon's match pitted a pair of the top teams in New England against one another, as the Pride entered the match ranked second in the region, while the Blue were fourth in this week's NCAA Regional rankings. The win boosts the Pride's record to 23-5, 9-1 in league play, while the Blue drop to 26-5, 9-1.
Kelsey McGayhey (Shelter Island, N.Y.) continued to shine on the right side, producing a career-high 17 kills, at a .400 clip, to go along with five blocks. Tessa Smolinski (Hebron, Conn.) added 12 kills and 11 digs and reached a milestone on her first kill of the afternoon, becoming just the fourth player in program history to reach the 1,500 kill mark.
Defensively, Lauren Holt (Granby, Conn.) registered a career-best 12 blocks and was instrumental in holding Wellesley to its lowest hitting percentage of the year, .036. Fellow middle Amanda Palladino (Cheshire, Conn.) tallied eight kills while hitting .467 and Amy Entel (Berkley, Mass.) recorded a team-high 14 digs.
Springfield, which entered with the nation's second-best hitting percentage, finished the day with a .319 percentage. Whitney Miller (Cuba, N.Y.) and Molly Giannattasio (East Lyme, Conn.) combined for 48 assists.
For the Blue, Sydney Carfagno (Los Angeles, Calif.) totaled 13 kills and 11 digs, and Caitlin Laughlin (St. Louis Park, Minn.) posted 12 kills and four blocks. Traci Hamanaka (Burbank, Calif.) picked up a team-best 12 digs and Kira Jordan (Franklin Lakes, N.J.) recorded six blocks.
Smolinski reached her milestone following one of her all too familiar cut shots, which gave the hosts a 12-5 advantage in the first. Wellesley responded to get within 13-9 on a back row kill by Carfagno, only to have Springfield use a 7-1 push, highlighted by consecutive blocks from Palladino and McGayhey, to gain a 20-10 lead. The Blue were hampered by 11 hitting errors in the first set as the Pride cruised to a 25-14 win.
The Pride's offense continued to roll in the second set as it hit .438. Bolstered by the strong serving of Entel and the outstanding play of McGayhey, Springfield raced out to a 10-2 lead and never looked back to claim the second stanza, 25-11.
The third set featured seven ties and three lead changes as the Wellesley offense combined for 13 kills in the game. After Springfield found itself down 13-10 following a Brooke Fieldman (Greenwood Village, Colol) kill, the Pride stormed back with a 5-1 spurt, that was capped off by an overpass kill by Daniella Crismani (San Francisco, Calif.). Wellesley answered back with a 5-2 burst of their own, using two big swings from Carfagno to regain a lead they would not relinquish en route to a 25-22 win.
Springfield appeared poised to run away with the fourth set after recording six kills on their first seven swings to snag an early 8-1 lead. However, Wellesley scored 17 of the set's next 25 points to gain an 18-16 cushion. The Pride would not go away easily and gained match point after a big swing from McGayhey, only to have the hosts seventh service error of the set even things at 25-all. The Blue went to Carfagno, who registered back-to-back kills to force a fifth set.
In the fifth, Laughlin converted out of the middle to tie the set for the seventh time at 8-all. Smolinski sided out and a Wellesley attack error gave Springfield a two-point cushion, which it would carry into a Wellesley timeout at 12-10 following McGayhey's 17th kill of the day. Carfagno delivered a kill out of the break, only to have a Wellesley service error make it a 13-11 game. Smolinski recorded a gritty kill for set point, and then combined with Holt for a block to clinch the victory.

Sonoma County Supervisor Efren Carrillo's arrest Saturday on suspicion of burglary and prowling is likely to curtail any short-term plans of his to seek higher office and could cut short or limit his career in local government, political observers said Sunday.
While the extent of immediate damage to his political prospects isn't yet clear, the dramatically different outlook is a blow to the 32-year-old Santa Rosa native, whose roots in the Latino community and support among Democratic Party leaders in Sacramento and beyond had given him the lustre of a rising star.
Elected first to the Board of Supervisors in 2008 and re-elected last year, he was widely expected this summer to announce a run for state legislative office. The arrest put a sudden hush to those rumors.
"Last week, there were conversations about what he might run for next year," said Stephen Gale, chairman of the Sonoma County Democratic Party. "I don't think there will be any of those conversations this week."
The fallout was quicker and wider over the weekend because of Carrillo's previous arrest, after a Labor Day street brawl last year outside a San Diego nightclub that left an Arizona man unconscious.
Carrillo said he was defending a group of female friends from a verbally and physically abusive stranger. Prosecutors subsequently reduced and then dropped battery charges against him.
But questions raised then about his off-hours activities surged back with his arrest this weekend, after a woman in his west Santa Rosa neighborhood called 911 at 3:40 a.m. and reported that he tried to break into her home through a bedroom window.
With details still trickling out and legal proceedings ahead, political observers would not say the fallout was catastrophic.
"I think it's too early to say Efren has imploded," said David McCuan, a Sonoma State University political scientist. "But this certainly has put his rise into a stall. His ambitions are plummeting back to earth."

Another somewhat non-descript line to the far right in the Pony Express area. Standing on the ground at the base of the routes Dead Letter Department, Seemingly Innocent, Prison Sex, Who's Holding, and Drug Abuse, the route Who's Holding can be best described as the single series of shallow, right-facing corners that makes a direct line to the top while staying left of the dead tree. The line passes some spots that are less than straightforward for protection, but nothing that feels dangerous.
This route is in the "no man's land" of indistinct crack systems to the right side of the popular Pony Express area.

Alpine Skiing finally got underway Monday afternoon in Vancouver, after two days of delays, with the Men's Downhill, the fastest sport on two skis. Didier Defago of Switzerland won the gold, while American Bode Miller took home the bronze medal.
Miller was the eighth to ski, and then had to wait as the full field of 64 skiers completed their runs. In the end, his time of 1:54:40 was enough for third. He was just 0.09 seconds behind Defago, and only 0.02 seconds the mark of Norway's Aksel Lund Svindal, the defending World Cup champion, who won silver.
For Defago, it was his country's first medal in the blue riband event in 22 years.
"I'm very happy," the 32-year-old said. "It was a crazy run, not very easy because it was very different from the training.
"I really wanted to go back home with a medal. After three Olympics and a lot of championships I think my experience made the difference."
It is Bode's third career Olympic medal (he won Silver in Salt Lake City in Giant Slalom and Combined). Fellow American Steven Nyman ended today's run in 20th place.
Next up for the men in Alpine is the Super-Combined, scheduled for Tuesday.

The mood was militant, even joyous, as thousands poured out of the Port-au-Prince Cathedral following the funeral of Father Gérard Jean-Juste on June 18. They merged with rara bands which had been circulating in the streets outside the church during the four hours since the service began at 6 a.m. Then about 10 gunshots rang out. People ran and dove for cover. It all lasted about 30 seconds.

Ardis I. WardArdis I. Ward
WINOOSKI Ardis Irene Ward of Winooski died in Fletcher Allen Health Care after suffering a heart attack on Monday, Feb. 25, 2013.
Born in Hartland on Jan. 22, 1925, to Watson D. Davis and Grace E. Colby, she attended Woodstock High School, Class of 43. Shortly after school, she married John F. Bowley Sr., a union which lasted 23 years and produced five children, John F., Thomas G., Susan D., Sheila I. and Shelly J. Bowley.
During her time in Hartland, she taught at 4H, co-founded the Hartland Riding Club with Connie Tessier and was its first president, sang in the North Hartland Methodist Church Choir, tended a large flower garden, and decorated her and others homes with her oil paintings. Though she could be described as a homemaker, her real calling was to inspire others with her joy for living and indomitable spirit in the face of a persistent struggle with multiple sclerosis.
Her second marriage to James A. Ward in 1971 gave her five stepchildren, Greg, Rodney, Gigi, Roger and James II, whom she loved as her own. After her children had grown, life brought her to Franklin, N.H., White River Junction, Vt., Somerville, Fla., and finally to Winooski.
She is survived by her loving husband of 42 years; 10 children; 27 grandchildren; 12 great-grandchildren; and a wide community of friends and relatives, whom she touched during her 88-year-long dance with life.
A memorial service will be held on March 16, 2013, at 1 p.m. at the LaVigne Funeral Home, 132 Main St. in Winooski. She will be memorialized in the Taftsville Cemetery, at rest with her parents and other family members.MORE IN Obituaries0830 RH Obits Plummer servc notc no photo flag Full Story0830 RH Obits Withington edited photo no flag Full Story0830 RH Obits Farrar paid no photo no flag Full Story

This CD collection definitely improves on its predecessors: "Aerosmith's Greatest Hits" and "Big Ones". The first ten songs are classic tunes from the 70's, but the song selection in an improvement upon the Greatest Hits collection. "Mama Kin" is an excellent choice as an opener, "Seasons of Wither" is much better than "Kings and Queens" as an example of Aerosmith's power ballad style. "Big Ten Inch Record" is kind of corny but gets a lot of radio play, so I guess I can understand its inclusion. Also, the songs that were included on Greatest Hits are the superior (and complete) original album versions, not pared down single versions. The other selections are obvious ones – hit singles from the "Permanent Vacation" CD to the "Get a Grip" CD that duplicate the "Big Ones" list. On top of all this, you get two songs each from the "Nine Lives" and "Just Push Play" CD's as well as the single from the "Armageddon" soundtrack. The sound is top notch throughout. All in all, the best Aerosmith collection you can buy.
Metal Album Reviews[RSS]
First let's address the album's atrocious title. On top of being a mouthful, "O Yeah! Ultimate Aerosmith Hits" is one of the lamest names for a Greatest Hits collection ever. But to be fair, Aerosmith have put out so many hits collections that they're running out of good titles to use. That said, this is definitely the Aerosmith hits collection you'll want to get. "Greatest Hits" and "Big Ones" were both snapshots of a certain point in Aerosmith's career, but "O Yeah!…" encapsulates their entire career (through 2002). All their bigs are here, conveniently in chronological order, except for the Run-DMC version of "Walk This Way" which is wisely put at the end of Disc 2 (the original is on Disc 1). Listening to the songs in order, it's easy to track Aerosmith's career from rock underdogs to the comeback kids to '90s ballad kings. And since everybody has a favorite Aerosmith track, or five, you can be guaranteed that the album will have something for everybody. On top of 28 of their hits, the albums includes two new numbers: "Girls of Summer" and "Lay It Down". The former is something of a miss: it's basically just generic top 40 summer rock. The latter is a should-have-been-a-hit ballad in the vein of "Angel".Inevitably Aerosmith will continue to release albums, and by extension, greatest hits albums. But for right now, this is the one with all their hits, and it's worth every penny you'll spend.
I think everybody who lives in America and owns a radio or television has heard an Aerosmith song, it's near impossible not to have. Like many, I knew of a handful of catchy, rockin' songs from classic rock radio and mp3 downloads. I was also somewhat confused as why not one retrospective had songs from their early and latter days on it, then I found out it was due to them changing labels in the mid-80s. This is the only Aerosmith compilation to feature songs from their Columbia and Geffen days on it and it makes a great buy for people who are interested in exploring their back catalogue, or just want those famous radio hits. A seasoned Aerosmith fan might want this for the bonus tracks, the Run D.M.C. version of 'Walk This Way' and the two new songs, the single, 'Girls Of Summer' and the ballad 'Lay It Down. This also features the single from the Armageddon movie, 'I Don't Want To Miss A Thing.' A diehard might already have the soundtrack for that song or even the Run D.M.C. cd too but they're always nice to have grouped with other Aerosmith material. The remastered sound is loud and clear, a definite plus for audiophiles. The only glaring errors I see off-hand are the omissions of the popular 'Eat The Rich,' 'Toys In The Attic,' and their cover of 'Come Together,' songs even a beginner like me has heard on the radio. The latter two appear on the European import of this same compilation, but unfortunately you have to pay that European import price. Why the domestic release left those two songs off is beyond me. Aside from those minor negatives, this is the definitive Aerosmith compilation for beginners interested in America's ultimate rock 'n roll band.
O, Yeah! Ultimate Aerosmith Hits, released in July 2002, is an Aerosmith compilation.
Aerosmith is, with out a doubt, "America's Greatest Rock "N" Roll Band." There are many other great classic rock bands, but they were from different countries. Pink Floyd (England), Led Zeppelin (England), Queen (England), The Beatles (England), The Rolling Stones (England), and Rush (Canada). Do we see a pattern here? There are many legendary classic rock bands from England. So Aerosmith isn't the best ever, just in America they are.
Kicking this album off is 'Mama Kin' and 'Dream On', both from Aerosmith's debut album, "Aerosmith." I'm always happy to see 'Mama Kin' on a compilation, because it's an excellent song. 'Dream On' is also here, but that's no surprise, since it's one of Aerosmith's top five songs of all time.
From "Get Your Wings" come the songs 'Same Old Song And Dance' and 'Seasons Of Wither'. This is the full version of 'Same Old Song And Dance' and not the heavily edited copy found on "Aerosmith's Greatest Hits." (Note: I'm going to bash Aerosmith's Greatest Hits, because it has major editing problems.) 'Seasons Of Wither' is a nice song, but not the second best song on "Get Your Wings." 'Train Kept A Rollin' holds that title, but it's not here. Why? Who knows? It's an excellent cover but it's not found on "O, Yeah!".
'Walk This Way', 'Big Ten Inch Record', and 'Sweet Emotion' are the songs from Aerosmith's best album, "Toys In The Attic". This is the full, four-and-a-minute version of 'Sweet Emotion' and not the edited version found on Aerosmith's Greatest Hits. Two excellent songs missing from "Toys In The Attic" are 'No More No More' and 'Toys In The Attic'. It's nice to see 'Big Ten Inch Record' appear on an Aerosmith compilation, but 'Toys In The Attic' would have been a better choice.
From the album "Rocks" come the songs 'Last Child' and 'Back In The Saddle'. 'Back In The Saddle' is one of Aerosmith's best songs, along with 'Last Child'. But where's 'Rats In The Cellar', one of Aerosmith's most underrated gems?
'Draw The Line' is the only song on "O, Yeah!" from the album "Draw The Line". 'Draw The Line' has an excellent riff, and it's a very catchy song. But where in the world is 'Kings and Queens'. It's just one more missing gem, not making the cut for "O, Yeah!".
Now the compilation skips three albums, "Night In The Ruts", "Rock In A Hard Place", and "Done With Mirrors". These definitely are not Aerosmith's best albums, but they still had a few good songs. Songs like 'Remember (Walking In The Sand)', 'Jailbait', and 'Let The Music Do The Talking'. It's not a huge disappointment, but they should have at least put 'Remember (Walking In The Sand)' on "O, Yeah!".
"Permanent Vacation" kicked off Aerosmith return to the spotlight, with songs like 'Dude (Looks Like A Lady)', 'Angel', and 'Rag Doll'. All three of these songs deserve to be here. 'Permanent Vacation' would have been nice, but it's no big deal. 'Angel' was Aerosmith's first major ballad and they would have many more ballads in the albums to come.
Next we come to one of my personal favorites, "Pump". It's just one of those albums where every song is excellent. Making the cut for "O, Yeah!" are 'Janie's Got A Gun', 'Love In An Elevator', 'What It Takes', and 'The Other Side'. Other excellent songs on Pump that didn't make it were 'Young Lust', 'F.I.N.E.', and 'Monkey On My Back'. No huge disappoint about those songs not making the cut.
Now on to the so-called ballad album, "Get A Grip." The album's not all ballads, there are still rock songs, but they are not as well known as the ballads. The songs from "Get A Grip" include 'Livin' On The Edge', 'Cryin', 'Amazing', and 'Crazy'. All but 'Livin' On The Edge' are ballads. The non-ballad songs that didn't make O, Yeah! were 'Eat The Rich', 'Fever', and 'Walk On Down'.
From the album "The Beavis and Butt-Head Experience" comes the song 'Deuces Are Wild'.
'Falling In Love' and 'Pink' from "Nine Lives" made their way onto O, Yeah. 'Falling In Love' was a good choice, but I'd rather have 'Hole In My Soul' over 'Pink'.
Next, from the "Armageddon Soundtrack" is Aerosmith's only Billboard Hot 100 number one hit, 'I Don't Want To Miss A Thing'. This is easily one of my favorite Aerosmith songs of all time, and it deserves to be here with other Aerosmith classics.
From their 2001 album "Just Push Play", come two songs, 'Jaded' and 'Just Push Play'. "Just Push Play" is one of their worst albums ever, and these two songs are no exceptions.
To close the album off, you have two bonus tracks and a rap version of 'Walk This Way'. That's terrible. Rap and Aerosmith just don't go together. It was a bad idea to recorded the song in the first place, let alone place it on an Aerosmith greatest hits compilation. The bonus tracks are ordinary songs, and nothing to get excited over.
In the end, you get an Aerosmith compilation loaded with 30 unedited songs, for a sale price of under 20 bucks. That's not a bad deal considering it's the best Aerosmith compilation out there. I'll end my review with a list of missing songs and a list of excellent Aerosmith albums to start a collection with.
Missing Songs:
1. Train Kept a Rollin'
2. Toys In The Attic
3. No More No More
4. Rats In The Cellar
5. Kings And Queens
6. Remember (Walking In The Sand)
7. Permanent Vacation
8. Monkey On My Back
9. Eat The Rich
10. Fever
11. Hole In My Soul
The Six Albums Every Aerosmith Fan Must Have:
1. Get Your Wings
2. Toys In The Attic
3. Rocks
4. Pump
5. Get A Grip
6. A Little South Of Sanity (Two-disc live album)
What a waste. Columbia/Sony could've compiled 2 discs worth of all of the great songs from Aerosmith's first seven studio albums and paired them with stuff from "Nine Lives", "Just Push Play", and the "Armageddon" soundtrack (all on the Columbia/Sony label), and by putting that against Geffen's "Young Lust: The Aerosmith Anthology", you would've had four CD's worth of truly ALL the Aerosmith hits. But Columbia had to cop out and partner with Geffen, the label responsible for navigating the band's triumphant late-80's comeback, to shoehorn in the usual array of hits that had already been covered on "Big Ones" and again on "Young Lust". So instead of the "ultimate" collection, you are left with plethora of missing tracks: "Toys In The Attic", "No More, No More", "You See Me Crying", "Train Kept A-Rollin", "Sick As A Dog", "Lightning Strikes", "Kings And Queens", "Come Together", "Remember (Walking In The Sand)", "What Kind of Love Are You On", "Hole In My Soul", "Fly Away From Here", etc. If you want to come as close as you can to collecting all of Aerosmith's hits without having to get all of the original albums, pick up "Greatest Hits", "Gems", and "Young Lust: The Aerosmith Anthology". The latter collects pretty much everything you could ask for from their Geffen years, and the first two are decent overviews of their first six classic albums (severely edited versions of "Same Old Song And Dance", "Sweet Emotion", and "Kings And Queens" aside). Me personally – I've just got all of the studio albums.

Although Veterans Day was officially on Sunday, the Mid-South observed honoring its military veterans on Monday.
The city of Memphis hosted its annual Veterans Day parade. The 90-minute tribute to veterans wound its way through the downtown streets. Veterans groups from the Vietnam War to Desert Storm marched in a parade that stretched for miles.
"When I was a kid I used to sit on the corner and watch some old World War I vets lead the parade, and now I'm that old vet," said Joe Tiscia, Vietnam veteran. "So, it's very nice to do."

"When I was young we looked at vets as more or less like old guys," said Robert Gurley, retired Air Force veteran. "Now we are the old guys and I started going to my reunions. Brings back a lot of memories. I would really like to see the population of the country really respect our vets. Give them what's coming to them."
That's not to say people don't care, and certainly those who took the time to stand outside along Second Street obviously cared. It's probably more about a lack of discretionary time than people not caring about our vets. Everyone is just trying to make it the best they can out there, but you could tell everyone there wanted more people to have been, well, there.
"People came out whether it was cold, sleet, or snow," said Pedrick Thompson, retired Air Force veteran. "I think vets deserve more credit. A lot of people need to come out and support our vets. We worked hard. I was an Air Force vet and we served. People should give us respect we are due."
Just when you thinking the worst of the good people of this country, FOX13 News ran into a group of Overton High School kids, who could have been sleeping late, but instead did what we really all want to do - say thank you to our veterans.
"we came out here to support the vets, because my granddad was also a vet and we just came down here to support," said one Overton High student.
A handful of veterans events were also held around metro Memphis. More than 200 veterans were the luncheon guests of Memphis 9th District Congressman Steve Cohen, an annual event that took place at the community service organization Bridges.
Rep. Cohen (D-Memphis), who was re-elected to his fourth term by voters on Nov. 6, told the attendees that a top priority for Congress and President Barack Obama next year will be to jump start the previously stalled "jobs bill for veterans."
Caseworkers were on hand to answer questions about benefits and services for veterans at the luncheon.
Veterans were also honored with a 21-gun salute and posting of colors at a ceremony at the West Tennessee Veterans Cemetery.
Many Mid-South businesses like Denny's, Red Robin, Spaghetti Warehouse, Lone Star Steakhouse, Texas Roadhouse, and T.G.I. Friday's also continued to honor military veterans by providing free or discounted meals and other discounts on merchandise.
