I hope everyone enjoyed the holidays. Around this time, buzz gets quiet — too quiet. But it's starting to pick up again and just from general conversations with sources, it sounds like development and business is going to be as strong across the county and Clear Lake area as it was last year.
Here's a sample of Biz Buzz for tomorrow.

I went to my first every door buster event and I know understand why so many people do it. It was very exciting. For the most part, everyone I saw was happy and having a great time. Lines were long but people knew from the start that was going to happen. I didn't wind up getting what I went for but it was still fun to be a part of it.
Did you get any great deals?

Running for slowpokes
I envision this as a pretty casual workshop/running group that would follow the couch-5k training program together, share struggles and successes, and perhaps run a race, if the participants are interested. I am no expert, but I do have some resources and experience to share about the nuts and bolts of running and will likely have various "new runner" friends come by to share their stories and run with us. I think this workshop would be the best fit for woman-identified people ages 16 and up, but will certainly not turn anyone away. For maximum benefit, sign up with a buddy who lives in your neighborhood! Come to first class dressed in comfortable clothing, and the best athletic shoes you have. Have a light dinner or snack and a glass of water about an hour before. bring a water bottle if you like, but there are fountains in the park. We will likely not have a secure place for our valuables, so plan to only have your car or house key with you during class.
Facilitator email(s):
What is Couch-to-5k?
This web page covers all the bases:
but basically, it is a training schedule designed for beginning runners that eases you into running for 30 minutes at a time over 9 weeks using timed run/walk sessions. The first week you only run for 60 seconds at a time! One minute? You can do that! This is a popular program, and there are lots of podcasts available to do the work for you, or you can just use your watch.
we'll do one workout per week together as a group, to get you to week 6--where you will have a goal of running for 25 minutes without a break. We will also dedicate time during the first session to forming partnerships or groups that can train together and support each other.
After the sixth session, we can decide whether we want to continue meeting as a group for the final three weeks, and maybe find a fall 5k to enter together! For the first week or two, I will provide music mixes for our workouts, with other participants being encouraged to create for the group after that--I'll provide a small speaker that will work with any mp3 player.

Facilitator's experience:
I was one of those chubby, asthmatic kids who spent weeks anxiously dreading having to run "the mile" in PE class as part of the presidential fitness testing. No one ever taught me how to run, nor impressed upon me why I might actually WANT to do something that seemed like sheer torture, physically and psychologically. Fast-forward 15 years and I started feeling envious of the people I saw running around the lakes on a nice day, and thought maybe I could learn to do it too. A couple false starts later, I now have about a year of running under my belt and would love to support others in conquering an old nemesis, or just trying something new.

An E. coli infection is food poisoning caused by some types of E. coli bacteria. The effects of an E. coli Infection can range from mild symptoms to severe, life-threatening illness.
There are many harmless types of E. coli bacteria. However, some types, such as one called O157:H7, make a strong poison that can make you very sick. The bacteria live in the guts of cattle. The bacteria can get into meat when the cattle are killed and the meat is processed. The bacteria may also get into a cow's milk. The bacteria can live in other animals as well. The bacteria can also be spread from manure, which may be used as a fertilizer on or near crops.
Eating meat that has not been cooked long enough to kill E. coli can cause infection. This is especially true for ground beef. You usually cannot tell by smelling or looking at the meat if it is contaminated.
Other possible sources of infection are:
People who are infected have the bacteria in their bowel movements. The bacteria can spread from one person to another if an infected person does not carefully wash their hands after using the bathroom. Adults who care for toddlers in diapers or for children who are not toilet trained are at high risk of getting the infection. These children's playmates may also get the infection.
You might get infected by swallowing unchlorinated or underchlorinated water in swimming pools. You can also get infected by swimming in water that has sewage in it.
Symptoms may include:
Symptoms usually begin 2 to 5 days after eating contaminated food, but anywhere from 1 to 7 days is normal. The symptoms may last for several days.
Your healthcare provider will ask about your symptoms and examine you. A sample of your bowel movement will be tested in the lab.
Usually you can get better without medical treatment. Antibiotics are usually not prescribed.
Ask your healthcare provider if medicines to stop the diarrhea are a good idea in your case.
You need to replace the fluids and body chemicals you lose when you have diarrhea or vomiting. Your healthcare provider may advise you to drink plenty of clear fluids or to drink an oral rehydration solution.
Most people get better in 5 to 10 days without medical treatment.
Rarely, a serious complication called hemolytic uremic syndrome can happen. It can cause kidney failure, especially in children. This life-threatening condition is usually treated in an intensive care unit of a hospital, sometimes with blood transfusions and temporary kidney dialysis.
If you have been diagnosed with E. coli infection, follow your healthcare provider's instructions. Here are some things you can do to take care of yourself at home while you recover:

I was looking at the 45-70 Henry rifle Not bad at all. What you say
I say I wish they would release it already! I'm in the market to buy a lever 45-70, but have been holding off buying one until the Henry came out.
They say it will be available in March or April.
Here ya go more eye candy and some info.
Henry Repeating Arms | Fine Rifles Made in America and Priced Right
Team 30-30 #507
Team X7 #15
Team 45/70 #583
Shooting from bags and rests is a good indication of how well your rifle will shoot.... But standing, kneeling and shooting off-hand will tell you how well YOU shoot.
Get off the bench and get in the game!
I noticed they mentioned it will handle any of the 45-70 loads. I wonder if that includes the Ruger #1 levels. Now THAT would be an accomplishment. Looks like a great looking rifle. I have read some of the folks do not like the magazine design, and I get why. I think their design would be great if it were a matter of just pulling the spring up and dropping the rounds in, as opposed to current design of pulling the spring tube out to load it. The previous mentioned design does not have parts that can be lost.
While all the oil may be in Texas, ALL the dipstics are in "DC, and Sacramento"
It also lists for about $200 more than I paid for my brand new Marlin 1895, which looks and shoots just fine.
The ad says it's a straight grip! It shows a pistol grip If it was a side loader it would be decent!

I can't warm up to that magazine design. The receiver port on other lever guns is much faster to reload and far less awkward. I can reload my Marlins without taking the gun down from my shoulder. Let's see you do that with that Henry. Otherwise, it's a very nice looking firearm.

If you have a refrigerator with a built in ice maker or water cooler, and you have water quality issues in your home, then you'll need to filter the water that supplies the refrigerator in order to ensure the ice or cold water it dispenses is safe for consumption. There are several ways in which to accomplish your goals including whole house water filters that treat the entire home's water supply and specially designed refrigerator water filters.
Water Filters for Refrigerators
The water filters that are designed for refrigerators are canister filters that are hooked to the water line that runs to your refrigerator. These filters can also work equally well for stand-alone water coolers, water fountains, ice machines and commercial coffee makers and soda machines. There are two designs of refrigerator water filters to choose from: in-line filters and canister filters. In both designs, there are single filter models and those that offer multi-stage filtration. Special models of filters are available to address certain kinds of water quality concerns, like high concentrations of arsenic, nitrates and fluoride. The refrigerator water filters which are specifically designed to eliminate high concentrations of certain chemicals often feature multi-stage filtration systems capable of removing a wide range of contaminants from your feed water as well.
Multi-Stage Filtration Systems
While it's prudent to select a filter that can adequately address any specific concerns you have about your home water supply, it is also a good idea to have a multi-stage filtration system. Such a system will eliminate most contaminants and significantly improve your water quality overall. If you've had a water quality analysis performed and know for certain that you face particular kinds of contaminants in your water, then you can easily select from the refrigerator water filters that are specifically designed to address your concerns. Choosing a filter that not only deals with your primary concern but which also filters or treats the water for a range of other potential contaminants is a smart move and one that ensures your water is as healthy and safe as possible.
Understanding Staged Filtration
The contaminants that get into your home water supply are different from one another and as such, the methods for effectively eliminating them from your water must vary as well. This is the reason that many refrigerator water filters feature somewhere between four six staged filters, with each of these stages working to eliminate specific kinds of contaminants from the water supply. In order to know exactly which filter stages do what in a particular model of water filter, you'll need to review the product specifications, but there are some basics which can help you understand staged filtration. For instance, some models contain porous filters with different sized holes in them for capturing free floating particulates in the water. Others have carbon filters that eliminate chlorine and other chemicals, for example. To determine which of the available refrigerator water filters will work

How to Survive the Most Awkward Dating Moments!
We all have our Awkward moments (hey, there's an entire Twitter movement devoted to the subject), but being humiliated in front of your crush is extra traumatic. Here, readers spill their most embarrassing relationship blundersand how they lived to tell the tales!
By Maura Kutner
Period Problem
"I went to my crush's house to watch a movie, and got up to use the bathroom. When I stood up we both looked down at the seat cushion to see that I had gotten my period EVERYWHERE. I didn't even know I had it. The stain was so big and on his brand new, cream-colored couch! I told him I had to go and totally fled! I sent him an apologetic text message and offered to pay for cleaning, but luckily he said not to worry about it. He had four older sisters so that thing had happened before!" Anonymous

I admit that …
… I often make up words when writing, and am convinced they exist until the dictionary tells me otherwise. For instance, I thought this list should be "admittions" for some reason.
… I'm starting to have an appreciation for Anime.
… I still deeply despise some people who purposefully hurt my family — and resent even more the people who stood back and watched it happen.
… other than that, I'm pretty happy-go-lucky.
… I often buy nail polish colors just because I like their name. For example, right now I have on "Goddess," when it really should be labeled hot pink or something. Other favorites included Earth Girl, Indigo Chic, and I'm not really a waitress.
… I actually like Justin Timberlake's new single, "Dance with Me." But to be fair, I liked it more until I found out he was the one singing it.
… I've always wanted a tattoo but can never settle on what it should look like.
… I do spend time during the day thinking about what I should (and shouldn't) put on this page.
… I'm anxious about going back up to Canada — which is odd, really, considering I was anxious about coming back home down South.
… I probably spend too much time watching movies and not enough reading.
… this won't stop me from being a part of a Foreign Movie series that starts tonight in Savannah (reminding me of the Broadway theater back home). Tonight's movie is the Swedish film, Together.
… I have a fierce independent streak.
… my latest crafts kick is making hemp bracelets.
… I dislike forms of organized religion.
… I think that Eric Clapton's "Wonderful Tonight" and John Mayer's "Body is a Wonderland" are two of my favorite sexy songs.
… I feel a little bit guilty now when I watch my camp kids play with Cowboys and Indians. I bought them as toys they could play with before camp starts, and now watching the kids play with them makes me wonder if I'm inadvertently reinforcing a negative stereotype or not.
… I have my tongue pierced and will probably get my nose done once I get back home.
… I often say things I don't mean.
… I have a Care Bears watch and actually still own jelly bracelets.
… I have an annoying tendency to procrastinate until I feel overwhelmed.
… I sing when I'm alone in the car but laugh when I see other people doing the same thing.
… I bought two new pairs of shoes yesterday. One, because they looked like Birkenstock clogs, and two, because they reminded me of Sex and the City Carrie-type shoes. Both were less than $15.
… I'm becoming more and more liberal in my opinions.
… this list has gone on long enough.

Design and Dine Contest Winners: Kevin and Missy Cooper
Date: February 20, 2013
by: Nick Friedman | Community Editor
Monday, Feb. 18, representatives from ArtisTree Landscape Maintenance and Design, Michael's On East and the Observer Media Group set out to surprise the winners of the Design and Dine $10,000 Backyard Makeover contest.
After parking discretely around the corner, the group crept to the front door of winners, Kevin and Missy Cooper. Balloons and champagne in hand, the crew surprised the couple with the announcement.
"I didn't really believe it at first," says Missy Cooper. "It caught me off guard. All I knew was that we were supposed to be doing the final interview — I was absolutely not expecting that we'd been selected. It was quite a shock."
The contest sought submissions from contestants that explained why they deserved to receive the $10,000 makeover from ArtisTree and celebration soirée from Michael's On East. After narrowing entries to three finalists at the beginning of the month, ArtisTree asked the public to vote for the winner.
"Our original hope was to build awareness for our brand," says Debra Morrow, vice president of marketing for ArtisTree. "How it evolved was beyond our wildest dreams. We were looking for meaningful stories in the entries, and we were really taken with all of our finalists' submissions."
Missy Cooper works as an advertising media planner at the Ringling Museum of Art, and Kevin Cooper is executive director of the Siesta Key Chamber of Commerce. After work, Kevin Cooper spends his nights taking online classes to earn his MBA from Florida State University. The couple says that with their busy schedules, sprucing up the backyard had remained their final major house project after Kevin graduates in May.
"Now, we can cross that off of our list," says Missy Cooper. "The only thing on our horizon now is a chance to hang out. After work, there will be no more homework, no more projects around the house — it's been so long since we've had that. We'll finally be able to come home and just enjoy where we live."
"It's unbelievable," adds Kevin Cooper. "I haven't been able to fully wrap my head around it yet."
The Coopers will meet with ArtisTree designers, who will work with the couple to design a backyard that meets their personal taste and needs. Michael's On East will cater a celebration soirée for 20 guests and design a signature cocktail to toast the completed backyard. The landscaping company also announced that it would provide each runner up with a $1,200 tree installation for their participation in the contest.
"Sarasota continues to be a town that we appreciate more and more as time goes on," says Missy Cooper. "The amount of community support makes me feel really good about where we live. There are businesses that care about the community and about giving back. It's just another check on the list of reasons we're grateful we moved here in the first place."

Nike Team Training Sack Pack 22 22
Great string bag. Nike makes yet another great product. We use this string bags for sports, field trips, gym clothes and everything in between. Great quality. Gets lots of use. Fair price and even better when on sale. December 14, 2014
No complaints. I bring by bag with me nearly everywhere I go, it could possibly be worse than a woman's purse for how much I put in the bag. I had the same Nike Synch bag for over two years and natural wear&stearin took its toll, so I bought one just like it! I hope it lasts me as long as my original bag!! Keep on Rockin', Nike!! November 19, 2014
Great for on the go Love it use it for a work bag. An to keep clothes in in my other back pack November 11, 2014
Nike Sack Pack My son likes his sack pack. The colors available were of a good selection. He had enough room to carry his running gear and shoes in it. November 4, 2014
This product is very easy to carry This product is great for quick packing and convenience in storage November 4, 2014
Good Bag I just needed a gym bag, this is a great bag, a little big for just a gym bag to hold a towel and some earphones. I will use it for other things now. October 24, 2014
terrific beautiful store fully stocked great to have one in coral springs prices pricey September 30, 2014
too small- returned for Adidas sack which was larger Wasn't big enough for sneakers and clothes and water bottles September 23, 2014
Great product! Better then I expected Great bag for my 15 year old to take to school. Looks good September 16, 2014
Nike Team Training Sack Pack so far it has worked great We purchased the Nike Team Training Sack Pack mainly for my daughter to keep her stuff for swim team. So far it has worked great. There are several small pockets for my daughter to put swim goggles, swim caps, feminine products and what ever else she may need. while the large area has more than ample space for towels and swimwear. The only complaint I would have is the price. At $22 (on sale) I would have liked some type of guarantee that it will hold up for at least the year. We chose this bag because the material seems like it will hold up, even when wet, and as I said before so far the bag has been great September 16, 2014

We all know the statistics. But what is our best chance to prevent breast cancer from affecting ourselves and the people we love? Awareness is the key. In celebration of the 25th anniversary of Breast Cancer Awareness Month, Jazzercise Founder and CEO Judi Sheppard Missett would like to remind you of ways to reduce your risk of breast cancer, and also methods of early detection.
The American Cancer Society (ACS) says there is no concrete method to prevent breast cancer, however there are easy and effective ways to reduce your risk. Also, though it's much more rare, men can contract breast cancer, too. Risk reduction and early detection are important for both males and females.
Here are some ways to help you avoid breast cancer:
Move Your Body
Regular physical activity strengthens your immune system. In fact, Jazzercise was at the forefront of a recent study at the Breast Cancer Survivorship Center at the University of Kansas Cancer Center (BCSC) that strongly indicated the importance of exercise for breast cancer survivors. The American Cancer Society says that exercise benefits people of all ages, even if you begin as an older adult. Do what you are comfortable doing, even if it's just walking the dog. Begin slowly and keep going!
Eat Healthfully
Eat a well-balanced, low-fat diet including whole grains, fruits, vegetables, lean sources of protein and limit alcohol intake. Gravitate to foods that are more natural and less processed. Eat organically-grown food whenever possible and incorporate antioxidant-rich foods into your meals.
Breast Feed
For moms-to-be, breast feeding your baby for at least several months may reduce the risk of breast cancer, according to the American Cancer Society.
Avoid Hormones
Studies have shown that women who avoid hormone therapy after menopause can reduce their risk of breast cancer.
Survival rates are highest for people who detect breast cancer in early stages. Here are some methods for detecting breast cancer:
Do it Yourself
It only takes 15 minutes per month and a bit of privacy to administer your own breast self exam. Some women have discovered lumps in their breasts through their self exam, however the ACS advises that self exams should never be substituted for mammograms and exams by your doctor. For step-by-step instructions and diagrams of how to examine yourself, visit: http://www.nlm.nih.gov/medlineplus/ency/article/001993.htm
Get Screened
The American Cancer Society recommends that women ages 40 and over undergo a mammogram every year, and women in their 20s and 30s have a clinical breast exam performed as part of a regular exam by a health expert at least every three years. ACS recommends that women in certain risk categories get MRIs in addition to mammograms.
Know your Body
Visit your doctor immediately if you notice any changes including a lump or swelling, skin irritation or dimpling, nipple pain or the nipple turning inward, redness or scaliness of the nipple or breast skin, or a discharge other than breast milk. Most of the time these breast changes are not cancer.
Remember, leading a healthy lifestyle and early detection are the keys to optimum breast health. Here's to your health!
Judi Sheppard Missett, who turned her love of jazz dance into a worldwide dance exercise phenomenon, founded the Jazzercise dance fitness program in 1969. She has advanced the business opportunities of women and men in the fitness industry by growing the program into an international franchise business that today, hosts a network of 7,800 instructors teaching more than 32,000 classes weekly in 32 countries.
The workout program, which offers a fusion of jazz dance, resistance training, Pilates, yoga, cardio box and Latin style movements, has positively affected millions of people worldwide. Benefits include increased cardiovascular endurance, strength, and flexibility, as well as an overall "feel good" factor. Additional Jazzercise programs include Junior Jazzercise, Jazzercise Lite and Personal Touch. For more information on Jazzercise go to jazzercise.com or call (800)FIT-IS-IT or (760)476-1750.

We are trying to work our way through as many Conservation Authorities as we can this year. For what it's worth, we have hiked all of Halton region, about half of
quite cold outside when actually testing out this hypothesis. Of course, we still hadn't put away our winter fleece, so out came the jackets and away we went up the 410 to hike at Glen Haffy Conservation area in
We arrived at Glen Haffy later on in the afternoon (closer to ) which is apparently a calmer time of day to visit this park. The attendant on duty at the gate left not five minutes after we got there and there was just one other car in the hiking parking lot. Of course, there was about a dozen cars and plenty of people fishing around the well-stocked lake.
As it is still early season, considering that many conservation areas only open in late April or early May, we were surprised but not overly shocked by the fact that there was a small but powerful sign on the trailhead that said that the trails were closed. Since there wasn't anyone to ask about whether or not this warning really needed to be heeded, we took our chances and proceeded with caution. We brainstormed what could possibly be a good reason to close a trail and came to the conclusion
|that it must have been due to the fallen branches and general overgrowth along the trail. Really, we didn't find it to be a hindrance as we kept a good pace along the winding and often hilly Red trail. All of the trails are colour-coded and well-mapped out in the pamphlet that is available at the gatehouse. One of the Bruce's side trails runs through and alongside Glen Haffy so be prepared to see those famous white and blue blazes as you're hiking. We actually got a little off our route because we were following the blazes and as we were climbing up and over a stile, we thought better and realized that we were now following the Bruce instead of the internal park trail!
We had heard about the need to use stiles to get over fences, but up to now we had never seen one ourselves.
We have been to a couple of hiking area's with these small shelters. I'm assuming there are camps going on where they teach kids survival skills.
Walking through group camping areas and picnic zones, you can tell that this place must be hopping once the weather warms up. Fishing is definitely the sport of choice at Glen Haffy, so much so that they operate their own fly fishing club. As their site states, "membership is limited to ensure great fishing." Also, two private ponds are not open to the public but can be reserved for groups (rowboats are also available for rent). We've been told that you can get in some pretty good bird watching in the park too but all we saw during our visit were robins.
Overall, a great place to hike not too far away from the big city!
|For more information about Glen Haffy:

There are endless amounts of Trillums on the hikes these days. It's our Provincial flower, and thus illegal to harm.

1. You won! How Does it Feel?
Thanks, it feels great. Since you're forcing me to quantify the satisfaction I felt upon learning I won, lets say its equal to taking my first sip of coffee for the day.
2. How did you come up with the idea for the name (which was, so we all remember, to not change the name?)
Listen, I've tried to name MANY things before, its an awful exercise to undertake, I named my last team for North Americans after the OKCupid profile of a guy who was messaging my ex-girlfriend. Your moderately widely read blog already had a name, so why put yourself through that torture.
3. That's about as far as I want to go with the contest – tell me a little bit about your setup (bike, equipment, etc.)
I went back to playing on my first polo frame, a Mercier Kilo TT after my All City Dropout was stolen at the East Side Qualifier in 2012. My current set up is significantly lighter, feels more responsive, and has a smaller five hole than the drop out, so maybe it was for the best. When i switched bikes i also dropped my handlebars about 2 inches – I found that greatly improved my accuracy.
I've been playing with the 2 3/8″ lathed out white stuff for a while. It certainly doesn't have the same pop as a TPL cap, but its readily available and makes mallet building easier.

A Short Introduction To Apt-Pinning - Page 2
Submitted by falko (Contact Author) (Forums) on Sun, 2009-03-22 19:44. ::
3 Apt-Pinning
Now let's define that we prefer stable packages over testing packages and testing packages over unstable packages, and that packages from testing and unstable get installed only if there's no such package from stable:
vi /etc/apt/preferences
In the Pin: release line you can use any of the attributes that you saw in the release line in the apt-cache policy output. For example, for Lenny that line was:
release v=5.0,o=Debian,a=stable,l=Debian,c=main
which means we could use Pin: release o=Debian, for example. But because testing and unstable also have o=Debian in the release line, we should use an attribute that distinguishes one release from the other - therefore I use a=stable|testing|unstable in /etc/apt/preferences.
If apt-cache policy showed something like this (this is from a server where I don't use testing and unstable, but a third-party repository) where the o= attribute differs...
server1:~# apt-cache policy
... we could use
Package: *
Package: *
in /etc/apt/preferences, for example.
Update the package database:
apt-get update
Let's check priorities again:
apt-cache policy
server1:~# apt-cache policy
apt-cache policy phpmyadmin
server1:~# apt-cache policy phpmyadmin
As you see, now the phpmyadmin package from stable would get installed.
4 Holding A Package
Let's assume you've installed the phpmyadmin package from stable, and you want to tell apt to keep the current package under all circumstances. This is how you tell apt to never ever install another phpmyadmin package again:
vi /etc/apt/preferences
(This works with or without the stable, testing, and unstable stanzas from the previous chapter. So even if stable, testing, and unstable have the same priority, phpmyadmin is set to hold.)
As you see, I've added a stanza for the package phpmyadmin with the priority 1001. In the Pin: version line I use an asterisk (*). If you know the exact version of the package that you want to hold, you can of course specify it without an asterisk (Pin: version 4:188.8.131.52-5).
apt-get update
again and check the policies:
apt-cache policy
server1:~# apt-cache policy
apt-cache policy phpmyadmin
server1:~# apt-cache policy phpmyadmin
As you see, the Installed: and Candidate: lines both show the same version, so no other phpmyadmin package would get installed.
5 Installing Packages From A Specific Release/Overriding Priorities
(This chapter assumes you did not set phpmyadmin to hold, as was shown in chapter 4. If you did, this chapter will not work.)
Let's assume you prefer stable over testing and testing over unstable, but just not for the phpmyadmin package because the version from unstable has a feature that you absolutely need. So this is how you override your previously set up priorities and install phpmyadmin from unstable.
There are two ways of doing this, with a slight difference:
apt-get install phpmyadmin/unstable
This would install phpmyadmin from unstable, but apt would try to satisfy all phpmyadmin dependencies with packages from stable.
apt-get -t unstable install phpmyadmin
This would install phpmyadmin from unstable, and all phpmyadmin dependencies would also be installed from unstable.

2013 Award of Honor: Sustainability Treehouse
Photo Credit: Joe Fletcher
2013 Award of Honor: Sustainability Treehouse
One of the Northwest's most influential architects, planners, and humanists, 1989 recipient of the AIA Seattle Medal Ibsen Nelsen practiced and professed a reverence for the qualities of the Northwest's natural and social landscape. His architecture, his thoughtful expressions of his knowledge and beliefs, and his lifelong civic activism profoundly affected both the architects and the architecture of the Northwest.
A native of Ruskin, Nebraska and the son of a Danish immigrant builder, Ibsen Nelsen moved to Oregon and took his architecture degree from the University of Oregon in 1951. He practiced with Seattle firms including Naramore, Bain, Brady & Johanson before establishing his own practice in 1953. Independently or in partnership with others, he produced notable works including a California home for the artist Morris Graves, Inn at the Market and Stewart House in the Pike Place Market, Seattle's Museum of Flight, and Merrill Court. The house he designed for his own family and where he spent his last years, on Vashon Island, recalls the Danish farmhouses of his forebears.
Ibsen grew deep roots in the Northwest. Early in his career and with other close friends and colleagues, he committed himself to the creation and promotion of an architecture close to the earth and highly accessible to people of simple means. He lived and worked in the belief that a young veteran returning from service in WWII (in which he served himself as a Captain in the US Army) deserved a well-designed and affordable family home. With others including Margery Phillips, he contributed to the Home Plan Bureau, which made residential designs of good quality accessible to those less than affluent. Homes he designed appeared frequently in the early decades of the AIA Home of the Month program which began publication in The Seattle Times in 1954 – another vehicle for his vision of quality design serving all segments of society.
One would see Ibsen often about the town, regularly in the company of his great friend and ally Fred Bassetti or George Bartholick, Victor Steinbrueck, Al Bumgardner or others (see photo below) – a colleague sincere in praise as in criticism. His straight slim figure, dapperly attired in summer tans with a straw hat, and his natural and unaffectedly courtly ways, invited comparison to a romantic figure in an Ingmar Bergman movie. With his luxuriant whiskers and gently scratchy voice, he came across at other times as the gruff and brooding Dane, speaking with concern or despair of things he found abhorrent -- especially the dangers of design that failed to embody the simplicity and naturalness consistent with his vision of the true "Northwest architecture."
In the month of his death, Alaska Airlines Magazine carried an article describing major West Coast civic projects – e.g. Gehry's EMP and Antoine Predock's designs for the San Diego ballpark and the Tacoma Art Museum – in the manner of many recent stories plying the "If You Build It, They Will Come" theme – not so very unlike Architectural Record Editor in Chief Robert Ivy's assessment of the state of Seattle design during his June visit. Ibsen decried the rash of "signature" pieces flung across the landscape like so many Michael Graves teapots on a Target shelf. As he wrote in 1996 in an unpublished essay, "(The Rise and Decline of) Regional Architecture in the Pacific Northwest:" "The pattern now, almost universally applied, is to seek 'brand name' achitects and engineers for all major local projects. We have accumulated .. a collection of unrelated monuments having little, if anything, to do with each other, with this area, its culture, or the environment. By and large they are buildings whose main purpose is to advertise the latest magazine fashion of the time, created by imported designers." He continued, "It is as though we had no culture of our own, no ability to discriminate and identify the talented designers we have in our own region, that we have learned nothing from our history."
Along with his life's partner Ruth, Ibsen Nelsen read widely and wisely, and believed profoundly in living honestly and ethically. Their life together as parents of four children expressed their humane values and a deep conviction about the individual's responsibility to contribute actively to society and to speak out in one's beliefs. Instrumental in the initiation of the Seattle Design Commission, the Seattle Arts Commission, Allied Arts of Seattle, and the Save the Market campaign, he became a Fellow of The American Institute of Architects in 1981. Jeffrey Karl Ochsner FAIA profiled his career in the 1994 publication Shaping Seattle Architecture: A Historical Guide to the Architects.
Lengthy obituaries to Ibsen Nelsen appeared in The Seattle Times (7/21, by Frank Vinluan and Sheila Farr), the Seattle Post-Intelligencer (8/6, by Gregory Reports), and on HistoryLink (a tribute by Art Skolnik FAIA).
Seattle Mayor Paul Schell Hon. AIA joined Fred Bassetti FAIA, Marjorie Nelson Steinbrueck, Rich Haag FASLA, Hon. AIA, Mary Randlett, and a throng of friends, family, and professional colleagues in sharing memories and tributes to Ibsen Nelsen at private memorial services held August 11 at University Unitarian Church in Seattle.

Discovery tours are all about exploring & experiencing the world with like-minded people, dipping your toe beneath the usual tourist surface & discovering the real essence of a region. They are genuinely innovative, exciting & imaginative tours that offer that little bit more to travellers.
Our Plus tours allow you to immerse yourself within a destination or culture whilst travelling and sleeping in comfort. They are packed with highlights to ensure you get the most out of your valuable time away yet are also slower paced allowing you time to savour the culture, traditions and sights of your destination – the perfect balance.
We ask that you read it carefully and that you take the document with you on your holiday. It contains information on visas, vaccinations, spending money, etc, as well as a detailed, day by day itinerary of your trip.
Cu Chi is the name of the district which covers an extensive underground network (approximately 200 kilometres) of tunnels dug initially by the Viet Minh and later expanded by the Viet Cong. The tunnels contained hospitals, accommodation and schools, and were used extensively for refuge and storage as well as utilised as a military base close to Saigon. A section of the tunnels has been widened to allow tourists to get a feel for what the life underground must have been like - hot and claustrophobic!
You will need to obtain your Vietnam visa in advance. When obtaining your visa for Vietnam you should allow 3 weeks for processing, the cost is approx USD$60 to USD$100.00 (subject to change). Some nationalities are exempt from requiring a visa if their stay is less than 15 days, but if you are planning on staying in Vietnam for longer than 15 days you will need to obtain a visa extension in advance.
Keep the customs and immigration form you receive on arrival, as you need it to complete exit formalities on departure.
If your visa application asks for a point of contact, please write: PEAK Vietnam 57A Nguyen Khac Hieu St, Hanoi, Vietnam Ph +84 4 3715 0996.
The above information has been put together as a guide. We do endeavor to update this information as much as possible but it's also important that you check for yourself as visas are the responsibility of the traveller.
Many governments publish up-to-date travel advice for countries around the world. Information is gleaned from both local and international sources as well as 'friendly' governments, and the notices are often on the cautious side. Sometimes there will be conflicting information. For example, the Australian, UK and Canadian governments may agree on the nature of the advice; however, frequently they do not. And sometimes the views expressed by a particular government can be coloured by political considerations. We will monitor these travel advisories closely and may alter itineraries or cancel trips as a result. However, it is also your responsibility to stay informed and form a balanced view. We recommend that you visit the websites or contact the departments listed below. Unless otherwise stated, it is not normally the intention of the relevant government travel advice to dissuade you from travelling. Rather, it is to inform you of where and when you should exercise caution to avoid problems. Please also note that, as a responsible tour operator, we maintain constant links with our ground operators and your safety - at all times - is our paramount concern. You can check your government's latest travel advice at one of the links below:
Australian Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade
UK Foreign & Commonwealth Office
Canadian Department of Foreign Affairs and International Trade
New Zealand Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Trade
Please ensure that you have a current passport well before travelling. It also needs an accurate photo and should be valid for at least six months after you are scheduled to return home. Also check that your airline tickets are in exactly the same name as your passport.
Every Imaginative traveller is required to have comprehensive travel insurance. This covers you for medical costs associated with hospitalisation, emergency travel and repatriation back to your home country. You can arrange your own insurance or we can recommend a policy for you. Remember to bring a copy of your insurance policy with you so your tour leader can record the details at the pre-tour briefing. If you arrive at your destination without travel insurance, you'll need to organise this before you can continue on your Peregrine journey.
Apart from having travel insurance and being in generally good health, some pre-holiday health preparation is advised. We strongly recommend you visit your doctor to discuss health requirements for your trip. They will advise you regarding the appropriate inoculations and in some places anti-malarial medication may also be required. Some vaccines need to be administered a few weeks before departure so allow plenty of time. Obtain a certificate of vaccination and carry this with you on this trip. A dental checkup is also highly recommended before departure.
Vaccinations may be required or recommended for this trip so you should consult with your travel doctor to obtain the latest up-to-date information. It is your responsibility to ensure that you obtain any vaccinations or preventative medicines for the countries you are visiting – or any which may be required by your home country upon your return.
For travellers from Australia and New Zealand, we recommend the Travel Doctor-TMVC clinics (see www.traveldoctor.com.au or phone 1300 658 844 for an appointment in Australia). Travellers from countries other than Australia and New Zealand should contact similar organisations or their travel doctor for advice. General health and vaccination information is available to all travellers at
www.traveldoctor.com.au/travelreport. Some vaccines require more than one dose, so arrange for your visit at least 4-6 weeks before you travel.
Malaria: There is no vaccination against malaria, which is transmitted by mosquito bites and is a risk in many less-developed tropical areas in Africa, Latin America and South East Asia. Protection against mosquito bites is essential and where the risk is considered high, anti-malarial medications are recommended. Anti-malarial medications should be discussed with experts as there are different medications available and not all medications suit all people or all destinations. Where malaria is considered prevalent in mountainous regions we prefer that trekkers to altitude try to avoid the use of mefloquine (Lariam) if possible.
We recommend that you photocopy the main pages of your passport, your airline ticket, itinerary, insurance policy, traveller's cheques and credit card. Keep one set of photocopies with you, separate from the originals. Leave one set of copies at home with family or friends. It is also worth taking some extra passport photos with you.
Remember - the lighter you travel the better! You may be buying things as you go, so you should not bring too much from home. Many people find a backpack the most suitable type of luggage for our holidays. Medium-sized suitcases can also be used; however, you should avoid the large, bulky cases that are difficult to carry. The lockable suitcases on wheels are the best types to use. Be aware that some hotels in Asia are not over-endowed with lifts (elevators) and there may be occasions when you need to carry your luggage up stairs or along railway platforms, etc.
When packing, consider cultural differences which may mean that some attire that we wear at home is not appropriate in Asia and may be offensive to the local people. Beachwear in towns is not appropriate, nor is 'short' shorts, particularly for women. Light cotton pants are a better option. When visiting sites of religious significance, modest clothing should be worn. Sandals, thongs, flip-flops or jandals are appropriate footwear in the tropics.
Please refer to the specific country section for climate details. When you pack your clothing, consider the climate at the time of year you are travelling and any specific requirements for your trip as at certain times of the year some of the items suggested in the list that follow may not be necessary. Bear in mind that the weather will vary significantly from place to place. The majority of time the weather is warm in South East Asia; however, it may be distinctly cold up in the highlands. If there are specific requirements for a trip, these will be noted in the separate country section, or in the Trip Notes relating to that trip. Please note that in the last few years, the world's weather pattern has gone somewhat awry. The effects of 'El Nino' and 'La Nina' are very real and this has resulted in unseasonable droughts followed by unseasonable deluges. Be prepared for the unexpected! Laundry facilities are available in some destinations.
Below is a list of equipment and documentation that we suggest you take with you. Please use this checklist as a guide when packing for your holiday.
The unit of currency is the Vietnamese Dong (VND). Bank notes come in denominations of 200, 500, 1,000, 2,000, 5,000, 10,000, 20,000, 50,000, 100,000 and 500,000 VND. Polymer notes of 50,000 VND (pink), 100,000 VND (light green) and 500,000 VND (dark green) are now used together with the old paper notes.
Refer to www.xe.com for current exchange rates.
Credit cards have recently become more acceptable in Vietnam and ATM machines are now available in all the major tourist centres, including Saigon, Hoi An and Hanoi. The easiest manner to change money in Vietnam is to carry US dollars in cash as this is widely accepted throughout the country. However, it is not safe to have all your money in cash, so we suggest carrying half in cash and using an ATM card (Cirrus or Meastro). Traveller's cheques in any of the major currencies can be exchanged in the bigger cities, although banks in the provincial centres may take only US dollar cheques. If using traveller's cheques, please carry your purchase receipt, as this may have to be produced before you can cash your traveller's cheques in certain banks in Vietnam. Note that traveller's cheques attract a commission fee of around 3% and are sometimes difficult to cash. It is recommended that you change money through banks, hotels and authorised moneychangers only: it is easy to be short-changed if you change money on the street. You can also change money in banks at the airport, upon arrival in Vietnam.
You will need to take money with you to cover any additional meals/drinks not included in your tour cost. Other costs to consider are drinking water, tips, laundry, souvenirs, additional sightseeing and possible delays. It is much better to come with more than you would expect to spend and to end the trip with a surplus, rather than being caught short! It is always useful to carry an additional amount for emergencies that could happen en route. If there is a medical emergency you are sometimes required to pay at the source and be reimbursed later by your insurance company. How Much Money? You should carry sufficient funds for meals, drinks, optional activities, additional sightseeing, shopping and tips. As a guideline we suggest that you allow US$20 per day in Asia would allow you to eat and drink reasonably well. Optional Tours & Activities We include many sightseeing activities on our trips; however, there are additional optional tours and activities that you may wish to undertake during your free time. These may incur additional expenses. These activities are not a mandatory part of our tours because, from past experience, we have found that our travellers have appreciated some free time whilst on tour.
International airport departure taxes are included in the price of International airline tickets.
On arrival in Saigon, you will be met by a Peregrine representative and transferred to your start hotel. Please see your final documents for full details of the hotel. Please make sure Peregrine is aware of your flight arrival details before you travel. Please meet our representative outside the arrivals area, as you exit from the customs hall. They will be holding a Peregrine sign. It is important that they are holding this sign or display some identification identifying them as an official Peregrine transfer staff. We have received reports of thieves parading as transfer drivers at the airport; please do not go off with anyone without proper identification.
If you are making your own way from the airport to the hotel, it is a matter of catching a taxi. After clearing customs and immigration at Tan Son Nhat Airport, make your way outside the terminal where there will be taxis waiting. There is no need to change money into the local currency (Vietnamese Dong) at the airport, as the exchange rate is better in town and the taxis will accept US dollars cash. The taxis are metered in local currency, but make sure the driver turns the meter on. It should cost the equivalent of US$6 to get to the city centre. You should arrive by Day 1 of the itinerary. There will be a group meeting at 6.00 pm that evening unless you are notified of another time in a message left by your tour leader at the hotel reception desk. This briefing is usually followed by an optional group dinner at a local restaurant. Please bring your passport and travel insurance documents to the briefing.
Generally, your room will be available from around midday. Sometimes it may be available mid-morning but this is in no way guaranteed. If your flight is scheduled to arrive in the early morning you may have to wait until a room becomes available. Alternatively you can book one night's 'pre-tour accommodation' which will ensure that your room is ready whenever you arrive. Rooms must generally be vacated by 12 noon unless you have made prior arrangements with the hotel reception. If you want to keep your room for longer you may have to pay an additional charge.
If you want to take someone's photograph, please ask first . This is just normal courtesy and if you are refused permission please abide by that person's wishes. At certain ancient sites, and in most museums, photography (video or still) may be forbidden, or may incur an extra charge for camera-use. Do not take photos of buildings, structures and personnel of potential military significance (including airports, bridges, army barracks, and police stations).
Travelling with us can provide you with some really rewarding travel experiences. Our tours visit countries where travel modes and lifestyles are often not as sophisticated as our own. There is also a laid-back attitude amongst workers and there will often seem to be huge amounts of red tape and bureaucracy when doing the simplest things. You will enjoy your trip much more if you slip into the rhythm of local life and are prepared to take things as they come.
In most countries even the smallest quantity of an illegal substance is considered a very serious offence and can carry lengthy jail terms. Avoid any contact with illegal drugs. Don't put yourself and others at risk and never carry bags or luggage for other people. Any person found to be carrying or using illegal drugs will be asked to leave the trip immediately without the right to any refund.
By employing and training local guides to lead our group holidays, there is a two-fold benefit. Firstly, we provide employment opportunities for the local community. Just as importantly is the benefit to you, the traveller. Your tour leader's friendship, humour, passion and intimate knowledge of the region will be key factors in making your holiday a success.
Tipping has become an accepted part of tourism in South East Asia. Your tour leader will be able to advise you in this area; however, as a guideline we would recommend tipping 10% of the total bill in restaurants and a small tip to hotel bellboys for carrying your bags.
At you pre-tour briefing your tour leader will discuss with you the idea of running a tipping kitty, whereby everybody contributes an equal amount and then the tour leader pays the tips and keeps a record of all monies spent (except restaurant tips). The record can be checked at any time and any money remaining at the end of the tour is returned to group members. This is often the easiest way to avoid the hassles of needing small change and knowing what is an appropriate amount to tip.
It is customary to tip your tour leader, at the end of the trip, if you are happy with the service. A minimum tip of US$2 per day, from each member of the group, is the usual amount expected.
Please note that Vietnam is a developing country whose infrastructure may differ from what you expect in your homeland. Expect poor road conditions and be prepared for some inconveniences due to such things as restaurants or tourist sites being closed and our regular transport services not always being available, especially so during the Tet holiday period (Vietnamese New Year).
During Tet (Vietnamese New Year), most businesses will be closed as Vietnamese people usually spend this period returning to their homes and celebrating with their families. This will involve a major burden on all forms of transport, and despite booking in advance, tickets for planes and trains especially are extremely difficult to obtain. Even if bookings are obtained, transport services during this period will be overcrowded and heavy delays are to be expected, so you will need to make sure that you pack your sense of humour. In order to facilitate your travels during the Tet period, we may need to substitute your train/plane journey with a private bus trip, if required.
On this trip you may link up with passengers booked on other tours.
Due to the style of accommodation on our tours it might not always be possible to book you in a single room throughout the trip. If you book a single supplement it will not apply to nights on the overnight trains, homestays, Longhouses, village huts, mountain huts, rainforest lodges ,on hill tribe treks, on boats, Camp 5 in Sarawak, Iban Longhouse, ryokan's and on the Kokoda Track. If you are unsure of where a single supplement will apply please check with your travel agent before booking.
Please remember that our tours are of an adventurous nature. Our style of travelling means that it is more desirable to carry a backpack and a daypack on our tours. It is also possible to bring soft suitcases, but large heavy ones can be cumbersome and not always convenient to carry around.
A sleeping bag is not required on this trip. It is useful to carry inner sleeping sheets on all adventure tours.
Please note that Vietnam is a developing country whose infrastructure, values, customs and standards may differ from what you expect in your homeland. Expect poor road conditions and be prepared for some inconveniences due to such things as restaurants or tourist sites being closed and our regular transport services not always being available (this can be especially so during the Tet holiday period). Hence, changes to itineraries may occur due to circumstances beyond our control.
This is an 'adventure' trip and we hope to expose you to all aspects of the various local cultures. Please be open minded while travelling as this will allow you to truly experience everything that Vietnam have to offer.

In America -- An Irish immigrant family adjusts to life in the United States.
In America -- Theatrical Preview
In America -- An Irish immigrant and his family move into a tenement building east of Harlem so he can pursue his dream of making it as an actor.
In America -- Home Video Preview
Second trailer for In America features all new sequences from the film, as seen through innocent eyes.
From master storyteller Jim Sheridan comes a deeply personal and emotionally raw tale of a family finding its soul In America. Through the wide-open eyes of two young heroines, Sheridan transforms a devastating human tragedy into a riveting, humor-tinged story about memory, secrets, love, loss, coming together and starting over.
To begin all over again is a classic American dream. But it s remarkably hard to do, as Irish migr s Johnny and Sarah (Paddy Considine and Samantha Morton) discover when they hit the streets of modern-day Manhattan, their two spunky young daughters in tow, and emerge into a realm as comical and adventure-filled as it is strange and terrifying. The family faces a dizzying new future - but first they must face down a past that haunts every single one of them.
With no cash to spare, Johnny and Sarah settle into a chaotic New York tenement populated by a colorful assortment of characters and attempt to turn a Gothic horror-movie setting nto a true home. From dragging an iffy-looking air conditioner across Manhattan to finding make-do jobs, nothing comes without a fight for the couple. And yet, while they see America as rife with challenges, dangers and weirdness, their daughters see it as a magical place where anything can happen, a place that might release them all from the anguish of what has come before. Then, on Halloween, Christy and Ariel (sisters Sarah and Emma Bolger) dare to knock on the door of the screaming man, a mysterious neighbor named Mateo (Djimon Hounsou), and everything changes. As the family heads for a crisis, Mateo becomes their unlikely ally in the territory where hope, faith and even magic hold sway.
Based in part on Jim Sheridan s own autobiographical experiences coming to the United States, In America is directed by Sheridan from a script by Sheridan and his two daughters, Naomi Sheridan and Kirsten Sheridan. The cast includes Academy Award nominee for Sweet and Lowdown Samantha Morton, Paddy Considine, Djimon Ho

UPDATE: Joyce Judy Sentenced to 26 Months in Prison
by Gwen Moritz
Posted 12/14/2011 11:16 am
Updated 2 years ago
Joyce Judy, the former president of Arkansas Employees Federal Credit Union who in August pleaded guilty to bank fraud, was sentenced Wednesday to 26 months in federal prison.Judy stole $500,000 from an AEFCU customer with the promise of moving it into a super-safe, high-yielding CD - but instead combined it with another $500,000, mostly borrowed, in order to invest in the Iowa Speedway.
The investment, court records indicate, turned out to be an international scam.
Judy, 57, wept as she told U.S. District Judge Leon Holmes that she was sincerely sorry for abusing a customer, the AEFCU board of directors that had hired her and coworkers who trusted her. Her eagerness to make a promising investment "made me become something I am not," she said. "I lost my job. Well, really, I lost 30 years of my life, because that's how long it took me to get where I was."
According to defense attorney Erin Cassinelli of Little Rock, Judy and her husband owned their North Little Rock home outright and were essentially debt-free before she mortgaged everything of value in order to make an investment that turned out to be a scam.
Judy and Cassinelli asked the court not to send her to prison, in part because she has had repeated bouts with cancer and in part so that she could continue to work to help her husband repay the loans - most of them to AEFCU.
"I want to make it up," Judy told Judge Holmes. "I want to work and pay back this debt."
Assistant U.S. Attorney Karen Whatley acknowledged that Judy had herself been a victim, and she said that Judy had cooperated with investigations into the investment scam in Texas and North Carolina.
"But making bad decisions on her own finances is one thing; taking someone else's money for her own benefit is another," Whatley told the judge.
The government recommended the 26-month sentence, which is a "downward departure" of 20 percent from the minimum of 33 months recommended by the federal sentencing guidelines, and Holmes said he agreed that it would be an appropriate sentence in Judy's case.
Holmes said he didn't think any prison time was necessary to keep Judy from committing another crime, and he understood that she had expected to be able to replace the customer's stolen money in short order. But neither of those situations is unusual in white-collar crimes, he said.
After serving her time - Holmes recommended the Carswell Federal Correctional Facility at Fort Worth, Texas, which has a medical unit - she will be subject to three years of supervised release. She is also responsible for mandatory restitution of $500,000, to be paid to Cumis Insurance Society, AEFCU's bonding company. Holmes imposed no fine.
Cumis has filed a civil case against Judy in Pulaski County Circuit Court seeking the same $500,000 that has been ordered as restitution, plus some lost interest and other costs.
As Arkansas Business reported in September, Judy was persuaded to make a $1 million investment by a retired racecar driver from North Carolina named Bob Schacht. The money she invested, half stolen from a client and half raised through loans and mortgages, was ultimately wired out of the country.
After the sentencing hearing, Cassinelli said it was still not clear whether Schacht was also a victim or participant in the scam.
When Judy pleaded guilty on Aug. 2, prosecutors said she thought she was investing in the Iowa Speedway. But Cassinelli told ArkansasBusiness.com that the investment was actually a two-step deal in which investors were going to make a quick profit that they could then invest in the racetrack.
While there are believed to be multiple victims of the scam, Cassinelli said she believed Judy was the only connection to Arkansas.

Hate Kills Hate
If you hate black people,
You are a redneck.
If you hate women,
You are sexist.
If you hate gay people,
You are a homophobe.
If you hate Jews,
You are a Nazi.
If you hate other people's religion,
You are a Bible-thumper.
No matter what you hate,
It will only bring more hate.
Don't hate,
Otherwise you deserve your given name.

When you are
out of hope,
Let me in,
And I will fix it!

Don't let evil engage!

Don't have a frown,
Otherwise your sadness

Church of Crime
I once slept in my truck in front of a church,
I had nowhere to go so I hung around and lurked.
When the church-officials saw me, they called the law,
They booked me for vagrancy.
The church, of all places...
I am homeless.
They are supposed to be giving,
They are supposed to help,
But instead, they screwed-off my head.
I had three chihuahuas,
All beautiful dogs,
They had to sleep with me,
Out on the streets.
The church didn't care,
They didn't want me there!
I want a home,
Is that too much to ask for?!
NOTE: My neighbor recently became homeless, and she had nowhere else to go. Just her, and her three tiny chihuahuas. So, she slept in the church parking-lot, and when they found her, the church officials called the law, and they arrested her for vagrancy! The church, of all places...
Update: She is now happily in a new home!
About Me
Joseph D. Smith
Joseph D. Smith is commonly known as The Legendary Graduate for his high school graduation ceremony, from Glasgow High School, in Glasgow, KY, USA. He had a graduation ceremony held in-place of his own high school graduation, hosted by the judge, Hon. Phillip Patton, who had a medal made for him, where the Barren County Sheriff, Chris Eaton presented the medal to him.
The graduation ceremony was held at the Barren County Courthouse, where only his closest friends and family had come. His little sister, Wendy Smith, got to come to the graduation ceremony, which was very special to him, because Wendy is low-functioning autistic, and she couldn't handle big crowds; Joseph is high-functioning autistic, by the way; they were both happy and proud! She sat in the front-row on the other side of Joseph, where he sat to listen to the speech by the judge.
The judge started the ceremony, but shortly before he could speak, he had noticed Joseph's dad's cooler, and he had stated, "I hope that whatever is in that cooler is legal", since we were sitting inside of a courtroom; they all laughed for a second and moved on. Joseph is proud of his dad, a Kentucky Colonel, Hon. Wendell Joe Smith. He is proud of his sister, Wendy, and his very sweet, loving, and talented mom, Mary Smith! They all love and take care of each other, where Joseph, his mom, and his sister live together, with frequent visits from his dad.
Joseph published a book of poetry, called The Legendary Graduate, which was inspired by his high school graduation ceremony. The book is a glimpse inside of an autistic mind, and it provokes thoughts that one might not have ever imagined, opening the minds of many! His mission with this book was to change the world, and to change how people think, as it touches very controversial subjects, but yet it entices people to keep reading, sitting on the edge of their seats; they often have to keep reading until the end of the book, and quite often they wanted to read it for a second time!
Joseph D. Smith is a long-time Devil worshiper, since he was a child, whether he knew it or not! Organized religion, secret knowledge, just doesn't float his boat.
Joseph D. Smith is a proud autistic individual, and he suffers from gynecomastia, but unlike other men with the condition, he is proud to show off!
Joseph is the INFP personality type!

10 Motivating Reasons to Write Your Child
Posted By Becky Giovagnoni On January 9, 2012 @ 3:52 am In Letter Writing | 21 Comments
I recently managed a team of editors working on letters written to sponsors by Project Facilitators. We read over 3,500 letters.
Many of them included compelling stories of how your letters affect children in our sponsorship program – stories, not from our perspective, but from the perspective of those who work with the children and our church partners.
From these 3,500 letters, we compiled a list of the 10 most motivating reasons to write your child.
Children gladly share with their friends the information, the stickers, the verses, Christmas/Easter wishes and all the other gifts they receive from sponsors. Children are also deeply moved by the love expressed for them in these letters. One letter read,
"We have hung your photo on the wall and we ask God to bless you every time we see you."
The children cannot hide their emotions when they receive such messages.
They are moved to tears, and they bless God for giving them such wonderful friends to walk closely with through the journey of life. They forget the weary burdens that sometimes pull them down. The children are compelled to keep these letters; they read them time and again.
Optimism and hope are reflected on the faces of children as they read and meditate on the encouraging messages. (from Kenya)
Whenever children are assembled and it is mentioned that the teacher wants to give them letters from their sponsors, all the children keep quiet and stay attentive with a very high expectation to receive a letter from their sponsor. The joy, happiness and the glow evident in the children's faces is a clear indication that sponsor letters play a significant part in their lives. (from Kenya)
