Joel Osteen Information
Joel Osteen Info
Joel Osteen tickets are tickets to salvation. Joel Osteen tickets are tickets to redemption and peace of mind. In short, tickets to Joel Osteen permit your soul to be exposed to one of life's true spiritual giants, and for you to drink from the fount of wisdom enjoyed by that reservoir of goodness and grace. Joel Osteen is the senior pastor of Lakewood Church in Houston, Texas. Lakewood is America's largest church, averaging around 30,000 weekly attendees during 2004. Lakewood was founded on Mother's Day 1959 by Joel's parents, John and Dodie Osteen. The church's first meeting was held in an abandoned feed store. While the church began with a small number of parishioners, it did have a large vision. John had a dream that propelled Pastor Joel and Lakewood to its position today. That dream was to reach the ends of the earth with the message of God's love. John's famous words shed light on his intense passion to fulfill the dream: "Great it is to dream the dream, when you stand in youth by the starry stream. But a greater thing is to fight life through, and say at the end, the dream is true." This faith in redemption is similar to the philosophy of other modern preachers, such as John Edward.
John Osteen propelled Lakewood from a small church to a body of approximately 6,000 believers that reached people in many countries through television ministry, crusades, conferences, missionary support, food distribution, and more. However, in 1999, John died of a heart attack. He was survived by his wife Dodie and children Paul, April, Lisa, and Joel. On October 3, 1999, after producing his father's television program for years, Joel became the senior pastor of Lakewood.
Lakewood shocked its skeptics and grew astronomically. Pastor Joel, emphasizing God's love, keeping a positive attitude, and God's unconditional acceptance has changed many peoples notion of church. As evidence of this, Lakewood adopted the slogan "Discover the Champion in You" as its church motto. By the fall of 2004, Lakewood had one Saturday evening worship service, three Sunday morning services, one Sunday afternoon Spanish service, and one Wednesday night service. All these were held in Lakewood's 7,800 seat sanctuary.
In late 2003, after a long process that involved multiple lawsuits, Joel Osteen and Lakewood Church acquired the Compaq Center (former home of the NBA's Houston Rockets). The Center underwent over 70 million dollars of renovation to become the Lakewood International Center, which has 16,000 seats for Lakewood's services and houses the media department of Joel Osteen Ministries.
In addition to the growth of Pastor Joel's congregation, Joel Osteen's television audience has grown. He now reaches a potential viewing audience of hundreds of millions in America alone and hundreds of millions more overseas. To accommodate Joel's ever increasing popularity and influence, in July 2004 Joel Osteen Ministries began holding "An Evening With Joel Osteen." This event has traveled to cities like Atlanta, Anaheim, New York, and Dallas, attracting tens of thousands of people. In addition, Lakewood and Joel Osteen have been written up in numerous magazines and newspapers.
Joel never graduated from college and has had no formal Bible training. Joel lives in the Houston area with his wife Victoria and two children, Jonathan and Alexandra.

Charles Whitman: The Texas Bell Tower Sniper
Early Charlie
On the surface, Charles Whitman would have seemed as steady and upstanding as the Texas Tower itself. He came from a wealthy, prominent family in Lake Worth, Florida. He was a gifted student, an accomplished pianist, and an Eagle Scout. But the trappings of the Whitman home concealed turmoil. C.A. Whitman was a self-made man, a plumber who had worked and willed his way to the top of his profession and into polite society. He brooked no weakness in any of his three sons, and he ruled his home dictatorially. "I did on many occasions beat my wife," he would later say, "but I loved her...I did and do have an awful temper, but my wife was awful stubborn....because of my temper, I knocked her around." His discipline with his sons was equally harsh—he often employed belts, paddles and his fists to make sure they complied with his rules and met his expectations. Materially, though, C.A. Whitman's family was amply provided for. C.A. and Margaret always drove late-model cars, and each of the boys was given guns, motorcycles, and other gifts C.A. thought fitting. Their home was the nicest in the neighborhood, with all the amenities and a swimming pool. But the luxuries did nothing to alleviate the troubles within the Whitman household.
In June of 1959, shortly before Charlie Whitman's 18th birthday, tensions with his father came to a head. Charlie came home drunk from a night out with friends, whereupon C.A. beat him and threw him into the pool, where he nearly drowned. A few days later he applied for enlistment in the United States Marine Corps. He left for basic training on July 6, 1959.
Charlie spent the first part of his stint with the Marines at Guantanamo Naval Base in Cuba. He worked hard at being a good Marine, following orders dutifully and studying hard for his various examinations. He earned a Good Conduct Medal, the Marine Corps Expeditionary Medal, and a Sharpshooter's Badge. Chillingly, the records of his scores on shooting tests show that he scored 215 out of 250 possible points, that he excelled at rapid fire from long distances, and that he seemed to be more accurate when shooting at moving targets. Captain Joseph Stanton, Executive Officer of the 2nd Marine Division remembered, "He was a good marine. I was impressed with him. I was certain he'd make a good citizen."
It was important to Charlie that he be the best Marine he could be. After years of belittlement and abuse from his father, he was anxious to prove himself as a man. Every opportunity for advancement was a chance to distance himself from his brutal upbringing. The Naval Enlisted Science Education Program (NESEP) seemed tailor-made for the up-and-comer Charlie fancied himself to be. NESEP was a scholarship program designed to train engineers who would later become officers. Charlie took a competitive exam and then went before a selection committee which chose him for the prestigious award. He would be expected to earn an engineering degree at a selected college and follow that with Officer's Candidate School. His tuition and books would be paid for by the Marine Corps. He would also receive an extra $250 a month.
Charlie was admitted to the University of Texas in Austin on September 15, 1961. After years of rigid discipline at home and regimented life in the Marines, he was suddenly free to use his time as he wished. Almost immediately he began to get into trouble. He and some friends were arrested for poaching deer. He accumulated gambling debts and refused to pay them, angering some dangerous characters in the process. His grades were unimpressive. He did manage some improvement after he married his girlfriend, Kathy Leissner, in August, 1962, but the Marine Corps was unforgiving of his previous behavior. His scholarship was withdrawn and he returned to active duty in February, 1963.
He was stationed at Camp Lejeune in North Carolina. After a year and a half of freedom, he found the discipline and structure of military life oppressive. His wife was back in Texas finishing her degree and he was lonely. He tried to recapture his scholarship but failed, and was informed that the time he'd spent in Austin did not count as active duty enlistment. He resented the Marine Corps and it showed in his behavior. In November 1963, he was court-martialed for gambling, usury and unauthorized possession of a non-military pistol. He had threatened a fellow soldier who had failed to repay a $30 loan with 50 percent interest. He was found guilty and sentenced to 30 days confinement and 90 days hard labor. A promotion he had received upon his return to active duty was stripped from him. Lance Corporal Whitman was once again Private Whitman, and he was desperate to be free of the Marine Corps. He turned to his father for help. C.A. Whitman had made connections in his years as a prominent businessman, and he set about trying to pull strings to get Charlie's enlistment time reduced. Charlie's stint was reduced by a year, and in December 1964, he was honorably discharged from the Marines.

About VEEV
VEEV®: The World's First Acai Spirit®
VEEV is the innovator of superfruit cocktails.
VEEV was launched in 2007 by two brothers, Courtney and Carter Reum, after a surfing trip to Brazil where they discovered smoothies made with the Açaí berry, known locally as "purple gold" because of its health properties. Inspired by the wonderful superfruit, they left behind their investment banker roles at Goldman Sachs with a singular goal to start a unique sustainable liquor company and never looked back.
The name VEEV is a playful take on the French word for "live." Intended to uplift and inspire, VEEV represents our philosophy to live consciously and to always have fun.
At VEEV, we perpetually examine every part of our company, from product development to marketing, from sales to how we give back to the community and environmental causes, in order to ensure that we consider the latest sustainable technologies. We take pride in the fact that VEEV is the world's very first certified carbon neutral spirit, that we are a certified B Corporation, that we designed every part of every bottle of VEEV® and VitaFrute® with Reduce, Reuse, Recycle in mind.
We never lose sight that VEEV would not exist without the inspiration of the açaí berry; so we are committed to giving back. VEEV donates 1% of all sales to rainforest preservation. Read more about our Corporate Sustainability efforts.
If you discovered VEEV because you're thinking about starting your own sustainable company, we'd like to suggest the books Screw Business as Usual by Sir Richard Branson, CEO of the Virgin Group, and Start Something That Matters by TOMS founder Blake Mycoskie. Both were nice enough to mention VEEV's story and our efforts to innovate in our industry. Read about VeeV in Richard Branson's and Blake Mycoskie's books.

Try as they might Atlanta could not wake themselves for 40 minutes of basketball Sunday night in game one of the WNBA Finals. The Minnesota Lynx had turned the game into a complete nightmare and took a commanding grasp on the series with a 84-59 victory. It wasn't just the final score, the Lynx showed poise, depth and a defensive energy and hunger that the nearly 14,000 in attendance sensed and fed off of.
"We opened the first 20 minutes the way that we wanted to. It was establishing how we were going to play and it was going to play and it was going to be off our defense, our tough defense," said head coach Cheryl Reeve. "Once we cleaned up some of the turnovers, we got in rhythm on offense and played off our "D" and had a solid first half."
Playing in her third Finals, Maya Moore led all scorers with 23 points but it was the play of Monica Wright off the bench that proved to be the difference. Wright scored 20 points but was gritty on the defensive end of the floor in the win.
"It's the Finals, so you want to leave it all out there," Wright said. "But obviously we got it done tonight and my teammates have all the confidence in the world in me and it was just falling tonight."
Defensively, the Lynx held the Dream to just 31 percent from the field including a 0-for-15 effort from three-point range.
"I noted it in the locker room right away, that's got to cut in half," said Dream head coach Fred Williams. "We've got to take three's sometimes because teams pack it in the paint and leave it out there for us. But we've got to get away from that percentage shot and the take one dribble in and take the "hard 2" as I call it."
Leading by eight after the first quarter, the Lynx outscored the Dream 20-9 in the second quarter including a dagger three-pointer with time running out before halftime that extended the lead to 19.
Despite a slow start in the third, Minnesota extended the lead to 25 at the end of three quarters and by the midway point of the fourth quarter all five starters were resting comfortably on the bench.
"We don't want to ever relax," said Moore. "The work that we do in the first half, we want to make sure that it means something. So in order to protect what we just did, we have to go out and play just as well or better in the second half."
The Lynx held Dream forward Angel McCoughtry to just 6-for-24 shooting and 17 points.
"We've been through this before, " McCoughtry said. "First game against Washington it was the same thing. We bounced back, we regrouped, we'll figure it out. That's the type of team we are."
For Minnesota, the win was just the first step in as their coach puts it a 200-minute series.
"I told them congratulations for playing the defense that we worked on all week. We spent a lot of time driving home what needed to happen," said Reeve. "I promised them if they did these things we would win Game 1."
Game 2 is Tuesday night at Target Center.

New Esher boss Smith won't give up on playing return
6:36pm Friday 1st June 2012 in Esher By Stuart Amos
Harlequins centre Ollie Smith will continue to train with the Premiership champions despite being officially unveiled as head coach at National Division One side Esher, writes Stuart Amos.
The 29-year-old former British & Irish Lion is battling back from a severe knee injury suffered in 2010 and remains intent on resuming his playing career.
Smith, who coached Esher's backs last season, will be assisted by former Saracens and Toulon lock Kris Chesney.
"The aim is still to get back playing, but this was an opportunity I could not turn down," he said.
"When I'm fit enough I will decide whether I want to try to play at the top level.
"This is a special club and I am hugely excited about what lies ahead."
Chesney, who started for Toulon in the Amlin Cup final at the Stoop last week, has joined as player-assistant coach.
"It's a club I've always had a high regard for and it's a great place for me to resume my career in England and help take the club forward," he added.

PLATTSBURGH — Donna Brault and her family spent this year's summer vacation enjoying the beauty and splendor of the Caribbean tropics.
However, Brault was involved in a lot more than tourism and sightseeing during her two-week stay on the island of Dominica in mid-July.
As a registered nurse in the Intensive Care Unit at CVPH Medical Center in Plattsburgh, she traveled to Dominica to share her life-saving skills with the island's health-care providers.
"People in the Dominicas don't have training in basic CPR skills," Brault said as she talked recently about her experiences in the Caribbean. "Many of the health-care opportunities we take for granted are not available down there."
Not to be confused with the Dominican Republic, Dominica is a small island southeast of Cuba and bordered by Martinique to the south and Guadalupe to the north. It has a population of about 75,000 people and is considered one of the poorest nations per capita in the eastern Caribbean.
"We (the people of Dominica) have had trouble keeping our health-care system up to standards," said Dr. Winston Thomas, a cardiac anesthesiologist who works per diem at CVPH and was born and raised on Dominica.
"We have a shortage of physicians, nurses, equipment and medical supplies."
Using his connection with the government of Dominica and his medical relations in the United States, Thomas has been actively pursuing ways to improve health-care conditions on the island with services such as Brault's two-week visit.
"We are a Third World country," he said. "We haven't had the opportunities that are taken for granted in the U.S. My main goal is to get physicians (from the States) to come in, drive around and do clinics for our citizens.
"We'd also like to have physicians (from Dominica) come up to the States and shadow our physicians, perhaps get involved in internships to see how we conduct health care," he added.

Update: Breckenridge boil water notice lifted
Published On: Oct 13 2012 12:48:23 PM CDT
Updated On: Oct 13 2012 12:54:01 PM CDT
Updated On: Oct 13 2012 12:54:01 PM CDT
The city of Breckenridge no longer needs to boil water, according to the city secretary.
On October 11, 2012, the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ) required the City of Breckenridge to issue a Boil Water Notice to inform customers that due to current interruption in service, water from our system must be
boiled prior to consumption.
Our system has taken the necessary corrective actions to restore adequate pressure, disinfectant levels, and/or bacteriological quality and has provided TCEQ with testing results that indicate that the water no longer requires boiling.

Breakout year coming for Fukudome?
Outfielder more comfortable in third season in Majors
CHICAGO -- Cubs manager Lou Piniella has predicted this could be a breakout year for outfielder Kosuke Fukudome, who delivered a game-winning hit on Wednesday.
Fukudome followed Ryan Theriot's two-run single in the eighth inning with one of his own to help the Cubs rally to beat the Brewers, 7-6. It was Fukudome's first game-winning RBI of the season. He ranked third on the team with seven game-winning RBIs in 2009.
"He's been working hard on his swing and he's been making real good solid contact and good professional at-bats up there," Piniella said of the Japanese outfielder, now in his third season in the Majors. "I think the fact that this is his third year in the league and he's more acclimated to day-night baseball, I'm hoping this will be his breakout year in the National League."
Fukudome also singled in the first and hit a sacrifice fly in the seventh. He's now batting .417, and improved his career March/April numbers to .342.
"I'm really settled down this year, so that's probably the best reason I'm doing well," Fukudome said through interpreter Hiro Aoyama.
Settled down personally and professionally?
"Yes, everything -- except the interpreter," he said, joking.
Fukudome won the Cubs' fans over in his first home opener when he hit a game-tying three-run homer, also against the Brewers, in 2008. On Wednesday, Wrigley Field patrons were chanting his name again in the eighth.
"I felt really good to hear them calling my name out there in the field," he said. "I do need to do my best so they will continue to cheer for me."
Thumb continues to sideline Lee
CHICAGO -- Cubs first baseman Derrek Lee received a cortisone shot in his right thumb and was held out of Wednesday's lineup.
Lee, who injured his thumb on April 5 in Atlanta when he dove for a ball, is expected back in the lineup on Thursday in the series finale against the Milwaukee Brewers.
"If it were up to him, he'd play every day," Cubs manager Lou Piniella said of Lee, who was advised not to take batting practice on Wednesday to avoid reaggravating the thumb. "When you get that type of medical advice, you heed to it and that's it."
Lee needs one home run to become the 10th player to hit 100 regular-season homers at Wrigley Field. The group includes Sammy Sosa (293), Ernie Banks (290), Billy Williams (231), Ron Santo (212), Ryne Sandberg (164), Hank Sauer (118), Gabby Hartnett (115), Andre Dawson (110) and Hack Wilson (109).
Lee does not like to talk about injuries.
"I don't like revealing my weaknesses," Lee said, laughing.
Lilly's return likely after April 23
CHICAGO -- Cubs pitcher Ted Lilly gave up one hit over four innings Wednesday night for Triple-A Iowa, and if all goes well, he could join the rotation sometime after April 23.
Lilly is coming back from arthroscopic surgery on his left shoulder and was slowed this spring when he was sidelined with the flu. He was then stalled because of back stiffness, which flared up last Friday.
On Wednesday night, he served up a solo homer to Memphis' Tyler Greene in the first. In his outing, Lilly walked one and struck out four. He was pulled after throwing 51 pitches, 31 for strikes.
"It was fun just being back on the mound," Lilly told reporters in Des Moines. "Everything went well. I'm pretty sure I'll feel good when I wake up."
The Iowa Cubs won, 5-2. Lilly gave way to Jay Jackson, who was the initial scheduled starter, and Jackson gave up two hits over five innings.
Lilly was expected to make one more Minor League start and if all goes well, he could start either in Milwaukee April 23-25, or during the Cubs' next homestand when they entertain the Nationals April 26-28.
"We had talked about the last week of April being the timetable for him, and if everything goes right, that's exactly when it'll be," Cubs manager Lou Piniella said.
Speaking of the rotation, the Cubs have tweaked theirs for the upcoming series vs. the Astros, and it'll be Carlos Silva on Friday, Tom Gorzelanny on Saturday, and Ryan Dempster on Sunday.
When Lilly does return, the Cubs will have to tweak their rotation and someone will go to the bullpen.
"We'll let everybody pitch until that happens," Cubs general manager Jim Hendry said. "It'll be a good problem to have if everybody is pitching good."

A Nampa carjacking suspect who eluded police in the Treasure Valley is on the run in Montana.
Rodney Lee Seiber, 36, escaped from deputies in Hardin, Mont., by jumping out of a second-story window, Nampa Police said Tuesday morning.
Undersheriff Mike Fuss of the Big Horn County Sheriff's Department said deputies responding to a report of trespassing found Seiber and his 18-year-old girlfriend, Brittany Robbins, in a motel Monday morning. When confronted, Seiber leapt from the second-story window and escaped.
Robbins was arrested for trespassing and obstructing. Deputies searched extensively for Seiber but could not find him. The search had been called off by Tuesday morning.
Seiber is still at large. He faces robbery, eluding and drug charges in Idaho.
Seiber is wanted for carjacking a Norco van driver at knifepoint last week, then crashing the stolen van into another car and fleeing on foot. Police thought they had him surrounded in a Treasure Valley cornfield, but he was gone by the time daylight broke.
Police said Monday they believed he was hiding at a squatters camp in the Payette National Forest near Cambridge with Robbins.
Seiber is armed with a Glock 40 handgun and has told family he will not be taken alive, police said. They also said he has spoken of his plans to commit suicide or suicide by cop if hes caught.
Police consider him armed and extremely dangerous, and urge anyone who spots him to call 911 immediately.

After dinner was a short walk down to Prospect Park. The room was beautiful. The outside entrance to the room was a little disconcerting, but considering the style of the hotel, it was appropriate. Would like to have been able to specify which size bed, but only able to choose King/Queen suite and hope we got the larger bed. We didn't, but the bed was very comfortable. Cheese and champagne in the fridge was a lovely touch, and the jetted tub was a wonderful followup to so much walking during the day. Would definitely recommend this to others.

College honors Dr. Cornelius for WJB, Scopes efforts
April 28, 2009
Bryan College honored Dr. Richard Cornelius on his second retirement from Bryan during Honors Day ceremonies April 27.
Dr. Cornelius, who retired as professor of English in 1999 and has served as Scopes liaison for the past 10 years, will end his service in June, President Stephen Livesay said.
As Scopes liaison, Dr. Cornelius has served as the primary resource at the college for information about William Jennings Bryan and the Scopes Trial.
For more than 40 years, beginning when he was pursuing his graduate studies in English, Dr. Cornelius has been interested in or actively studying Bryan and the Scopes Trial. Because of his efforts, Bryan College has become known as THE repository of information about those topics.
His articles on the subject have appeared in scholarly journals and popular publications. He has published an annotated map of Scopes Trial sites; a pamphlet about Bryan, the Trial and "Inherit the Wind"; edited an annotated bibliography about Bryan and the Trial; edited a collection of articles and photographs about the trial; edited a collection of Bryan's speeches; and produced a collection of songs about the Trial.
Tom Davis, director of public information who has worked closely with Dr. Cornelius said, "He is the unsung hero to countless researchers, ranging from the Pulitzer Prize-winning author Dr. Edward J. Larson to junior high students researching History Day projects."
Dr. Cornelius has contributed to documentaries produced by the British Broadcasting Corporation, Irish National Radio, German Television, The History Channel, Court TV, National Public Radio, ABC, CBS and NBC Television, and The American Experience.
He has served as a leader in his church, helped organize the Scopes Trial Festival, served as chairman of the Rhea County Heritage and Scopes Trial Museum committee and is a director of the Rhea County Historical Society.
"It has been my honor to work closely with Dr. Cornelius for nearly 18 years, to learn from him, to admire his attention to detail, his commitment to accuracy, and his willingness to go the extra mile for those seeking help," Mr. Davis said. "More than those things which have made him a recognized expert in his field, I have seen his deep love for Jesus Christ and for Bryan College. I think it's fair to say that his heart's desire is that our Lord is honored and that Bryan College live out its motto of Christ Above All.
"In his oration, 'The Prince of Peace,' William Jennings Bryan said, 'The human measure of a human life is its income; the divine measure of a life is its outgo, its overflow – its contribution to the welfare of all.'
"Dr. Cornelius' contribution to Bryan College has been one of outgo, overflow, of contribution. I think Mr. Bryan would be proud, and I know we have benefitted enormously from his efforts."

Town Square
On Deadline: It's name-calling, fact-enhancing compost season in Palo Alto
Original post made by Jay Thorwaldson on Mar 28, 2011
Already, posters on the Town Square forum on www.PaloAltoOnline.com are accusing former Mayor Peter Drekmeier of being on an ego trip due to his leadership in favor of using 10 acres adjacent to the Water Quality Treatment Plant for a composting/energy facitility. Drekmeier and dozens of volunteers collected more valid signatures than needed to force an election on whether to "undedicate" the acreage, which has been designated as a future part of Byxbee Baylands Preserve.
Similarly, personal comments have been made about stalwart opponent Emily Renzel, a former City Council member who has been a protector of the baylands for decades -- her e-mail handle is "MarshMama."
In November, Palo Altans will be asked to decide whether keeping a composting operation local and using it to generate electricity through an anaerobic-digestion system that produces methane gas, which can power electricity generators. The system would replace an outdated incinerator at the treatment plant, used to turn sewage sludge to ash, using expensive natural gas. (See press release on initiative [Web Link here].)
Last week (March 22), Drekmeier, Renzel and three city staff members -- Senior Engineer Joe Teresi, Deputy City Manager Steve Emslie and Brad Eggleston of the treatment plant staff -- outlined possible futures for the baylands at a League of Women Voters forum. The staffers shunned the politics to focus on the current status of flood control, the future of the Palo Alto Airport (which, so to speak, has been up in the air for some time), and how the sewage plant works.
Teresi noted that the levee system that protects a huge sections of lowlands Palo Alto and other parts of the South Bay were never "designed" levees but simply piled up bay mud.
Contrary to general belief, he said should there be a substantial levee break at high tide some parts of Palo Alto could be inundated with about 8 feet of water, far deeper than the 1998 flood from overflow of San Francisco Creek. He pointed to one curved levee near the Baylands Nature Preserve as key to holding back the bay.
Emslie focused primarily on the Palo Alto Airport, which Santa Clara County has said it no longer wants to operate. But Palo Alto must keep the airport open because of a series of federal grants to upgrade it -- which require that it be kept open for 20 years. Consultant studies indicate it could be operated at a profit, he said.
But the main focus of the evening was Byxbee preserve and the choices that voters will soon hear more about leading to a November decision.
Drekmeier led off with comments about the proposed "Green Energy and Compost Initiative," referring to the 4-hour City Council discussion of the matter the night before in a study session. He said trucking the city's compost-capable materials to another site would create 12,000 tons of greenhouse gases a year. He said if all the city's food and yard waste were collected in one spot "it would fill a football field as high as City Hall."
Creating an alternate to the "embarrassing" incineration of sewage sludge would save more than $1 million annually in savings on natural gas and disposal of the ash. He said the proposed "wet anaerobic digestion" process would be far cheaper than alternatives, and said revenues from the operation could pay for improvements throughout the remaining 92 percent of the Byxbee preserve. (See PowerPoint slides [Web Link here].)
Renzel said that isn't good enough, and that people have waited 45 years for the completion of the Byxbee park and shouldn't have to wait longer now. She said the city's landfill operation was created in the 1930s after the city's incinerator burned down. The land was dedicated as park land in 1965, when voters approved Enid Pearson's "Park Dedication" initiative ordinance, and the landfill was supposed to close in 1968 but was kept open illegally. (See her baylands' history [Web Link here].)
"Our baylands were kind of like a Public Works (department) playground, with all sorts of things happening," she said.
Renzel said when she was named to the Planning Commission in 1973, then-Chair Mary Gordon helped initiate the first Baylands Master Plan, still in effect with some modifications and recently confirmed.

"In November, Palo Altans will be asked to decide whether keeping a composting operation local and using it to generate electricity through an anaerobic-digestion system that produces methane gas, which can power electricity generators"
The way I understand it, the voters of Palo Alto will be asked whether they want to undedicate 10 acres of parkland. There is no mandate to force anaerobic digestion.
You seem to have drunk the kool aid of anaerobic digestion, and you also seem to be promoting that solution as a 'best use' alternative for those 10 acres.
Please correct me, if I am wrong, Jay.

Cedric de La Beaujardiere is a registered user.
Thank you for your article, Jay. Any name calling is unfortunate, I hope we can all try to keep the discussion respectful, focus on the issues and refrain from personal attacks. I appreciate Emily's and Enid's historic accomplishments to protect parks and baylands, leaving Palo Altans with, if i recall correctly, one of the highest per-capita park acreages in the region. But I happen to disagree with them as to the best use of these 10 acres of the landfill next to the sewage treatment plant. This site is the ONLY place which can allow us to handle our own wastes, reduce our green house gas emissions, and save the city money. This is the only workable site because of its size, its adjacency to the sewage treatment plant, its not being airport or commercial property, and because all the regional solutions outside Palo Alto are more expensive. (For my costs analysis, see Web Link)
A small correction to Jay's quote of Peter: the 12,000 tons of CO2-equivalents is not just trucking, but is the difference between digesting and composting our municipal organic wastes locally versus trucking our food and yard wastes "away" and continuing to incinerate or sewage.
The 20,000 tons CO2 is the approximate difference between the local option of AD and Composting compared to what we are doing now (which is incinerating sewage, composting yard wastes at the landfill, sending some food to Gilroy for composting, and sending most food to the landfill where it releases methane, a potent GHG, to the atmosphere).
Craig is correct that the initiative only makes the 10 acres available "for conversion of organic wastes by biological and/or other equally environmentally protective technology" (Web Link). It does not mandate a particular technology. Wet or Dry AD are the leading contenders, but there are other emerging technologies which _might_ fit the bill.
on Mar 29, 2011 at 8:17 am
Too bad that Jay, in his zeal to complain about name-calling and exaggeration, could not bother to get the facts right in his posting. Talk about exaggeration--Jay could not even get the facts on what we really be voting on in November right!!!!!
Is Jay also claiming that Renzel and Drekmeier are guilty of exaggeration??

What to put into a WordPress site for a music group
I want to create a website for a group of musicians and I've chosen WordPress because it will help them to make updates. The site will have a news/update homepage for performances, biography page, store page, archived photos or videos of past performances, static pages for additional information and a contact page with a contact form.
I am new to all of the widget and plug-in features used in WordPress and I would like to know what types of general widgets/plug-ins that you guys could recommend for a WordPress music site, especially for the home page because I always have the hardest time designing it. So far on my list I have ecommerce and photo gallery plug-ins.

I would choose plugins and widgets according to functionality, I want to achieve on particular page, not because some of them are "must have". My suggestion is to create sitemap, that will give an overview of what is supposed to be on website, then you can search for plugins that implement required functionality.

To be honest I'd say that it isn't as complex as you might think.
If it were me I'd start with a theme that uses your ecommerce platform of choice. You need to know that the shop part of your website will do what you need it to do (shipping, tax, bundles etc) as it can be the most limiting factor. Depending on how much continuity you want in your website often the styling of the store is the more difficult (as it is treated as a separate plugin and may only pick up certain default styles).
There are lots of high quality pre-made themes that you could pick up that will allow you to easily style your website across both the store and other parts of the website and often they build in many plugins/sliders/shortcodes for free. Yes you pay for some of them but they aren't expensive and you have the benefit of support (I would only ever recommend well supported themes or elite authors). Many of themes will style your portfolio/gallery areas and make it easy for you to create the archives/photos/videos areas. If you find there are some missing functions that you need to fill it is then less of a hassle to find plugins to cover those areas. For elite authors they've typically anticipated most major areas of use and you don't sound like you've got anything too tricky in mind.
I've used Mayashop and it is a very flexible theme with 10 sample home page layouts. You don't have to use the shop as your main home page either it can be just one area of your website. It has good documentation and a large user base. There are other newer themes that I've yet to try.
Hope that helps. In my experience of doing WordPress sites exclusively for about a year and half, the ecommerce can be the stick in the mud, so I'd start by making sure that is sorted. Woocommerce is a good place to start if you want a free flexible solution, but it isn't the only one.

Alberta is a province beset by apathy, but according to a new initiative aiming to "reboot" Albertans, this no longer has to be the case.
Following poor voter turnout in 2008's general election, Reboot Alberta is attempting to channel Albertans' frustrations with provincial politics. Through web-based forums, blogs and, most recently, a planned gathering in Kananaskis, project founders are determined to alter how regional politics are perceived.
"We're looking at changing people's perspectives," said Ken Chapman, an Edmonton-based lawyer and co-founder of Reboot Alberta.
Chapman and most members of the initiative have no intention of forming an alternative party; instead, they want to openly explore and articulate problems they see facing the province.
The project was started by Chapman and three others who believe that progressive voices are being stifled in Alberta.
The four organized an invitation-only meeting last November, attended by 89 people from 22 different communities, all concerned with the province's direction.
According to Chapman, people of all political stripes were at the gathering, including members of Renew Alberta, which may become Alberta's newest political party.
Self-identifying as centrists, Renew Alberta is working to gain Elections Alberta recognition, which requires a petition signed by 7,050 electors or about 0.03 per cent of eligible Alberta voters.
According to Chapman, Renew Alberta did not spawn from Reboot Alberta, but runs parallel, focusing on a grassroots political movement defined by voter input.
Chapman supports the party, but emphasizes the tendency of new parties to fall short of their promises.
"[Renew Alberta] has to be new and different," he said. "It's easy to fall back to the old ways."
The party, like Reboot Alberta, is already facing criticism for its lack of specific alternatives. The label "progressive" is used throughout the Reboot Alberta website, which had several people asking what that actually means.
"We want people to grapple with that question," said Chapman, who explained the phrase is intentionally vague as a way to encourage inquiry.
Those interested in joining Reboot's dialogue may do so online at rebootalberta.org. Reboot will also be hosting a conference in Kananaskis called Reboot Alberta 2.0 February 26-28.

Our most bombproof 3-layer performance riding jacket, the updated Primo features a new progressive freeride fit and fresh styling. Built with durable GORE-TEX® fabric for waterproof/breathable and windproof protection to withstand any conditions.
The construction of 3-Layer GORE-TEX® Products is unique. A 3-layer GORE-TEX® membrane is sandwiched between a soft outer material and a knit polyester backing material that increases durability. These garments keep you comfortable and protected from the elements without adding extra bulk or weight.
The GORE-TEX® membrane has 9 billion pores per square inch, with each pore 20,000 times smaller than a water droplet. These tiny holes are too small for water and wind to pass through from the outside. But these same pores are large enough for moisture vapor to pass through, so your body's perspiration is able to escape and you won't feel clammy or uncomfortable inside your jacket.
We promote fair labor practices, safe working conditions and environmental responsibility throughout the Patagonia supply chain.
Below are the suppliers that impact the Patagonia Men's Primo Jacket

Philadelphia Phillies infielder Freddy Galvis was already dealing with a back fracture that had left him out indefinitely. Initially called a lower back strain, the injury was discovered to be a fracture after further evaluation, and Galvis was set for weeks in a back brace. Freddy Galvis wishes that were the only problem he had in his life. Now he's got another one, and this one's both better and worse. Depending on your perspective.
The word:
MLB announcement: "Phillies IF Freddy Galvis has received a 50-game suspension after testing positive for a metabolite of Clostebol"— Adam Rubin (@AdamRubinESPN) June 19, 2012
Clostebol is an anabolic androgenic steroid, and you're not allowed to have those in you if you play major-league baseball. So, knowingly or unknowingly, Galvis broke the rules, and now he's facing a suspension. On the plus side, Galvis can serve his suspension while on the disabled list, which is a bizarre and stupid loophole, but just because a PED suspension is over doesn't mean a PED suspension is forgotten.
Over 200 plate appearances on the season, Galvis has posted a 65 OPS+. Yes, I know, the jokes.

Your Park Featured Here
15 comments:
I've been meaning to send you my sketches for a park but I keep forgetting.
I still have to redraw and scan them. D:
- October 1, 2010 at 3:13 PM
Hey! If you don't have a scanner (which I do not), the next best way is to take a hi-res digital photo from directly over it (with good lighting). This is what MrHatboxGhost did.
- October 1, 2010 at 3:22 PM
I do have a scanner but the drawings are too weak and scattered, which means I need to redraw the map.
I'm sure you're gonna love the theme, though.

Hi RandySavage,
I have been fascinated by your work and have wanted to turn my own ideas into works of art like these. I do have the time and skills, but I'm curious to how you create these.
Are you using any special programs? What do you use as scale references? Do you do any tracing of satellite photos?
I am also dying to see more of your work, mostly Epcot.

Hey Wes,
I use a wide mix of whatever I can dig up (from satellite pics to official/unofficial site plans & blueprints to models) to serve as references (and scale) for existing parks & attractions. I create non-existing parks, attractions, lands from scratch. The software I use is called AutoCAD.
- October 5, 2010 at 12:59 PM
Thanks! I can see how AutoCAD would be great and easier for this than let's say Photoshop.

Not so much asking for something done with an Armchair Imagineering concept, but have you ever given the idea of making a layout of Epic Mickey's Wasteland sometime after the game comes out? Seeing as it is Oswald's own Disneyland?
- October 6, 2010 at 7:14 AM
Thanks for the heads up, I will keep an eye out for the design of the Wasteland park after the game comes out.
On that note, one of the layouts I'm in the beginning stages of working on is for the long-rumored Dark Kingdom/Shadowlands park - a villains-centered version of the MK (with Main Street replaced with a dilapidated ghost town, Maleficent's Castle instead of Cinderella's etc.) - could be similar to the Epic Mickey park.

are you planning to do other parks besides ether disney or universal?
- October 6, 2010 at 2:48 PM
I'm in the early stages of doing an Animal Kingdom/Busch Gardens-type park that focuses on biomes (Arctic, Rainforest, Desert, etc.). My Middle Earth park has no Disney/Universal connection. But, I'll typically attach these as a second or third gates to the dozen Disney/Universal resorts I've established, mostly for organizational purposes.
To answer your question, I'd like to draw some more original parks that have little to no attachment to established Disney/Universal brands, characters & films - the 1980s EPCOT Center being the paradigm of this idea.
- October 8, 2010 at 12:43 AM
Hey Randy,
I was looking at your plans and thought they were AMAZING. I was wondering if you could give some pointers cause im redisining a park I call Port Adventure but its comming out junkey. So if you could respond that would be awsome.
- May 22, 2011 at 9:05 AM
Hey Will, Happy to give pointers. Go to my profile in the About Me section and send me an email letting me know what stage of drawing your in, what you don't like about the way its coming out. Sending pics of where your drawing is helpful, also.
- May 23, 2011 at 3:07 PM
I meant, "Wes", sorry...
- May 23, 2011 at 3:08 PM
Sorry the link was all like you cannot send an e-mail in this format. Will or Wes what ever you chose. So first putting out everything has to be what I call "Universal," worthy because I think IOA is the best. But the reason I dont like how its comming out is looking at yours and I just dont think I have as much in my parks as yours. Like I have ben planning, drawing, and creating for like five months and its not like "Universal," worthy. How do you come up with so creative rides and names, just things like that.

Hehe, I see you've updated the design.

Claire Williams says it is "fantastic" not just for Williams but for F1 as a whole to have Martini back in the sport.
On Thursday, Williams announced that Martini had signed on as their new title sponsor with the team now known as 'Williams Martini Racing.'
"This is amazing, not just for Williams to have brought in a title sponsor with a brand like Martini, that's fantastic for us, but for the sport as a whole," Williams told Autosport.
"To have a brand like Martini sponsor a team is an endorsement for our sport."
Williams was especially delighted given the team's poor run of form in recent years.
The has managed just two races wins in the last ten years which included a seven-year victory drought.
But despite their woes, the deputy team principal says it is Williams' pedigree that drew Martini.
"The history was important to them, the family side was very important to them. We share that we are family-owned companies.
"We are going to do some amazing things and it is really going to help drive interest in Williams, Martini and F1 as well because there is going to be lots of great activation around the races."
However, she revealed that Williams faced some competition from rival teams for the Martini sponsorship.
"Other teams can offer a lot too and we are all fighting as well, it wasn't easy.
"I'm just pleased that at the end of the day we won that competition."
"Some deals can take years and some deals happen just like that and this has been quite quick. For a title sponsor particularly it hasn't taken as long as maybe you would expect it to have done. Talks started last year.
"Both parties at the table wanted to make it happen because they recognise what we as a team can offer a partner and the shared synergies between our brands."

GlobalData is a container class that holds ref-count pointers to "global" objects, i.e., objects that nearly every LOCA object will need access to. By putting them all in one container class, the container class can be stored in each LOCA object, and if a new global object is needed, it can be added here without modifying the rest of the code. This is an alternative to true global or static objects which are note safe in many contexts. In particular, this approach allows multiple LOCA "invocations" to be in memory at the same time. Note that all data members are declared public.

MADISON (WKOW) -- After a week off, Wisconsin will try to clinch a second trip to the Big Ten Championship with a win Saturday at Indiana.
The Badgers will have to do it without quarterback Joel Stave, who is out 8 weeks with a broken collarbone.
On Monday, Stave spoke to the media for the first time since he went down against Michigan State, and the freshman quarterback is doing his best to stay positive.
"I do have a lot of time here, a lot of time left to play, and I just have to remember that and make the most of all the opportunities I have in front of me," Stave said. "It was a lot of work getting to where I was, but it's part of the game. Injuries happen, so I'm trying to stay positive and worry about what I can do to get better."
Stave says he would like to be back for the bowl game, if possible, but he will wait to see how his recovery is coming along.
Stave says he won't travel with the team this weekend and for the first time in his UW career, he'll watch the game on TV.
