While completing his M.Arch. at Washington State University, Scott Jones started the Thrive Project, packing books, computers, tools, and building materials into a 400-square-foot shipping container bound for Eldoret, Kenya. Jones plans to build out the shipping container—and others after it—into a vocational training center. What makes this different from shipping-container initiatives for other countries such as Haiti or Malawi? "Capacity," says Jones. "You think about what a container is, and there is so much untapped potential to use every square inch."
You go through case studies and you spend a lot of time understanding the existing paradigms of shipping-container adaptability. I really appreciate the modularity of using them, but there are a lot of unexplored areas with containers in terms of adaptation. Don't get me wrong—I'm very impressed with what people are doing with containers. But how can the container evolve once more? How much can we feasibly do with a single container? What will have the highest impact for the lowest investment? Finally, how can we create space?
I approached this design problem with a box of Legos in mind. Our site in Kenya is about a mile from the big east–west railroad—so we have a lot of access to containers. The first one will be shipped from the U.S., however, and contain trusses that will span the distance between the container drop site and the building site about 100 yards away. Subsequent containers will fill in the distance, and I'm hoping to use between nine and 15 from in-country. As more containers are secured, they build out from the original container and stack horizontally atop it. Containers can be arranged to maximize otherwise negative space to create outdoor classrooms. But the key is to create a permanent structure—the idea of permanence in Kenya is important because it is a community driver.
With any Third-World project, when complexity goes up, the success rates go down. The projects that are successful are straightforward in nature—not simplistic, but straightforward. So, in moving ahead, it has been important to show a level of confidence in our project, to have a substantial team on the ground in Kenya, and to cultivate a good understanding of Kenyan building culture.
So it's been a multilateral effort. There are risks and shipping security problems—especially when the container arrives in Kenya. A lot of our equipment is a huge target for theft. So it's been about finding a balance. This is totally outside the realm of what I thought architecture was. When I finished my undergraduate degree, I traveled around East Africa, and by the time I started my M.Arch., the opportunity to positively impact people seemed clear. I've done a lot of work in architecture—from big-box retail to residential design/build—and the thing that drives me is how the end user is impacted. —As told to William Richards

Another World makes for a good live-action short film
Another World had such an iconic beginning, one that rapidly showed this was a game that wasn't going to screw around, and you'd better pay attention. Even knowing full well how to escape the four-legged beast, it's still a sequence I find nerve-wracking to this day. The game's actual intro was cool, too -- it's been adapted for a live-action short film. Watch it above.
If, like me, you felt the credits rolled just as the short was getting started, there's good news. The team is considering making a longer, 15-minute-or-so film possibly (probably) funded through Kickstarter. During production, support from Another World creator Eric Chahi was obtained, but "budget and time constraints" meant not all of the planned shots were made.
"We have a lot concept designs for [the] most recognizable parts of Another World," wrote the filmmakers. "They are our foundation for the next step of our work."
I'd be down for more, I think. Plenty of neat source material from which to draw. For now, follow that first link for behind-the-scenes photos and a making-of video.

|Hi Mike. I have talked with you in the past, but have not had time to check the forum for many months now. Just this month I had my husband plant six of my plumerias into a new planter that he built. Two are Singapore WHites (obtusa) the others are rubras. The planter is getting full sun, and it is against a block wall. How often should I water? I have never had one planted in a planter before. The dirt is good dirt, and should be draining well. I am afraid of watering too little, or too much. As it is, my plants seem to be confused this year, with all the warm weather we have had this year. Some of my whities are losing leaves, some rubras never lost all of their leaves from last year!
Follow-Up Postings:
|go to a nursery and buy a cheap water meter and stick the probe deep into the planter and water when it reads between moist and dry. Without leaves, keep them on the dry side. As leaves grow increase water to match the number of leaves. You will be surprised how slowly a large planter dries out. Bill

102. QR_Hobo_Codes
Pittsburgh, Pa., and anywhere / Free Art & Technology (F-A-T) Lab
The informal code that vagabonds developed in the 19th century to offer warnings and help each other cope with the uncertainties of nomadic life inspired the QR_Hobo_Codes project by Free Art and Technology (F.A.T.) Lab, a Pittsburgh-based research network devoted to enriching the public domain through the development of creative technologies and media. F.A.T. Lab created 100 QR codes (freely downloadable lasercut-ready stencils) to provide advice and warnings to modern-day digital nomads. Codes include "vegans beware," "hidden cameras," and "those aren't women." QR_Hobo_Codes is one in a suite of what F.A.T. calls its "homebrew infoviz graffiti tools for locative and situated information display."

December 19, 2014
CARMEL, Ind. (AP) -- Authorities say Indianapolis Colts owner Jim Irsay is in jail after being stopped on suspicion of drunken driving.
Hamilton County Sheriff's Department Deputy Bryant Orem says Irsay was arrested Sunday night in the northern Indianapolis suburb of Carmel.
Orem says the 54-year-old Irsay is being held Monday morning at the jail in Noblesville on preliminary charges of driving while intoxicated and possession of a controlled substance.
Carmel police Lt. Joe Bickel says he can't immediately release details about the arrest because he is gathering information.
Irsay lives in Carmel. He became the Colts owner in 1997 after the death of his father, Robert Irsay.

Vietnamese Mail Order Bride (Singapore)
- Will you pay S$10,000 to pay one of them?
Via an Al Jazeera documentary posted on youtube. The video below makes me sad. Both for the Vietnamese girls selling away their lives and the fact that more and more Singaporean men are resorting to "buying" their brides from poorer Asian countries.
The male to female ratio in Singapore is equal. Why are there not enough Singaporean women to go around? Are more Singaporean women marrying foreigners or choosing to remain single for live?
In the video, a Vietnamese bride can be "purchased" on-the-spot for S$10,000. The girl on the right was only 18-years-old when she was sold to a 35 year-old Singaporean man who went to the matchmaking agency to choose his bride together with his mom.
What's even more humiliating, the girls were made to visit a clinic in Singapore to get a certificate verifying their virginity before they can be sold.
While both the Vietnamese girls and the Singaporean men who entered into such marriages are willing adults, I wonder how many of such couples end up truly happy.

8 Responses to "Vietnamese Mail Order Bride (Singapore)"
Singlish got subtitle leh..
the video did not mention whether the girl having ROM with the man before staying together. isn't it like paying for a virgin prostitute? any protection to the girl? what if the man abandon her after they have had sex prior to marriage? the girl will lose all since no more man would like to marry her. is this legal?
what a ridiculous rule !
Are they (Men) also keep their virginity??
stupid fucks paid 10k thinking he really got a virgin? hymen restoration is a common procedure employed by prostitutes to make more money to fool stupid bastards. such surgery is commonly done in vietname and costs less then SGD2000
Ha because Singaporean man are not cool, they only know how to write rubbish, Singapore girl are highly education, they don't want you, they want Ang Mo. (cool, professional, people don't anyhow write.
your comments are rubbish
This is buying service not buying bride, you cannot buy human, is illegal you know. I don't know why you all like to say "purchased bride" you think buy a "pet" back home oh no my god. Human cannot "buy" please don't misleading the small children.
If you don't know what is virginity pls don't write rubbish here. ok. Don't tell me you like loose girl if given a choice? A girl can keep their virginity until 18 years old is definately not a bad girl.
In Vietnam old man from foreign country like to fuck virgin girl, they pay US2,000 to the girl and the girl let the old man sleep for 1 night.
so do you think virginity is important? It may not happen in Singapore but it happen is third world country .

Adeona And The Skirball Foundation Join Forces To Advance Multiple Sclerosis Research
ANN ARBOR, Mich., Nov. 11, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- Adeona Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (NYSE Amex: AEN), a developer of innovative medicines for serious central nervous system diseases, announced that the Company's drug candidate, Trimesta™ (oral estriol), will be utilized in a new Phase II clinical trial to evaluate its potential therapeutic effect on cognitive dysfunction observed in female multiple sclerosis (MS) patients. The Skirball Foundation and Adeona have pledged to equally support this clinical trial led by Rhonda Voskuhl, M.D., Director, University of California, Los Angeles ( UCLA) Multiple Sclerosis Program, Department of Neurology. The study, which focuses on cognition loss in MS patients, also received contributions from numerous supporters, such as the Sherak Family Fund, the Gustafson Fund, and the Diamont family.
"At some point, 50-65 percent of MS patients will develop problems due to cognitive loss, yet there remains no treatment to target this profound disability. Unfortunately, loss of cognition affects a person's ability to work and is the major reason MS patients stop or decrease their level of work," said Dr. Voskuhl, Principal Investigator. "We are therefore thrilled to begin this novel clinical trial of Trimesta in which the primary endpoint is improvement in cognition and the ultimate goal is to address an unmet need for these patients."
This new randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled Phase II clinical trial is based on findings from a 10-patient, 22-month, single-agent, crossover clinical trial conducted by Dr. Voskuhl. The results from the crossover trial demonstrated a statistically significant 14% improvement from baseline in Paced Auditory Serial Addition Test (PASAT) cognitive testing scores (p = 0.04) in MS patients after six months of Trimesta therapy. PASAT is a routine cognitive test performed in patients with a wide variety of neuropsychological disorders such as MS.

New Hampton, New Hampshire
Start with two or three cups of steel cut oats. I normally eyeball my measurements and add other ingredients to create the desired consistency. You can add any other type of dry ingredients such as wheat germ (gluten), coconut, flax seed, almonds, mixed nuts, etc. I ground about a cup of almonds and added it to the mixture as well as ground flax seed. I mixed all my dry ingredients together and added my wet ingredients. You can add as little or as much sweeteners according to your own taste. I personally used a little honey, about a ½ cup of maple syrup and another ½ cup of brown sugar. Next time I am going to try molasses for a little stronger taste. Add a little olive oil or coconut oil to congeal the ingredients and add a little water to finish mixing all the ingredients together.
Bake in the oven for about an hour and a half at a low temperature. Once it cools, add in dried fruit such as dates, pineapple, cranberries, banana chips, and raisins. Enjoy.

Santa Barbara County Sheriff's deputies arrested two men on Tuesday for allegedly assaulting a man and stealing his iPhone.
It happened around 5:30 pm in the 6600 block of Abrego Road in Isla Vista.
Sheriff's officials say the victim, who suffered minor injuries in the attack, was able to give deputies a description of the two men.
Deputies located one of the suspects, Starrr Martin, 21, of Virginia, nearby and arrested him. The other suspect was also located nearby, but when deputies tried to arrest him, they say he fought back and took off running.
After a 30 minute chase, Aaron Cuthbert, 18, of Palmdale, was taken into custody.
Sheriff's officials say the Martin and Cuthbert are roommates and Santa Barbara City College students. Martin faces charges of robbery and conspiracy. Cuthbert is facing charges of robbery, conspiracy, resisting arrest, and giving false information to a peace officer.

Ten Healthy Recipes to Celebrate National Fruit & Vegetables Month
It's no secret that fruits and vegetables play a significant role in the human diet. According to studies, getting the proper daily servings of fruits and vegetables has been "strongly associated with reduced risk for some forms of cancer, heart disease, stroke, and other chronic diseases." Many fruits and vegetables are high in antioxidants (like our personal favorite superfruit, açai), which can help with metabolic activity and eliminating carcinogens from the body. (1)

A perfect match
By Ande Burriola | Photography by Authentic Exposure
Posted: Wednesday, Jun. 27, 2012
It was the summer of 2010 when Elizabeth Doyle filled out her perfect man search and clicked on the profile of Quinn Gallagher. Having used catholicmatch.com, it was clear that finding someone of the same faith was important to both of them. After reading over Quinns profile, where he wrote of his family, the importance of his faith and his dedication to his country, Elizabeth winked and the emails began.
It was a match made in heaven. Quinn, a captain in the United States Air Force, is a combat search and rescue (CSAR) helicopter pilot, while she served four years as a pediatric nursing officer.
After being deployed, you want to have someone to come home to, especially after seeing all that you have while [overseas], Elizabeth says. After talking on the phone and using Skype and email, Quinn couldnt take it anymore and told Elizabeth he was flying in that weekend to see her. Luckily, she had that weekend free.
You have these hopes and dreams for how you want something to go, and you dont want to be disappointed if it doesnt turn out like you planned, she says. Quinn flew from his base in Las Vegas, Nev., to where Elizabeth was stationed in San Antonio, Texas, and it was there that they met for the first time.
In the airport, waiting at the bottom of the escalator, Elizabeth could only see the shoes of those descending at first. After all the suspense, upon seeing Quinn for the first time, Elizabeth knew he was the one. It was love at first sight, she says.
Home from his four-month deployment, Quinn, his sister and brother-in-law and Elizabeth arrived at Quinns home after their vacation to the Zion National Park. Quinn took the opportunity to ask Elizabeth to join him on a walk. Guiding their walk to a nearby lake, Quinn knelt and asked Elizabeth to be his wife. With a lit cake welcoming them home, Elizabeths birthday and engagement celebration began.
With his family in Fort Mill, S.C., they chose a quiet barn setting as their venue. As news of their engagement spread, Elizabeth and Quinns family and friends began to offer skills and personal contacts to help decorate, cater and plan their wedding. For her bouquet, Elizabeth used her mother and mother-in-laws large assortment of brooches that they had collected from their mothers and grandmothers. With this bouquet, Elizabeth carried the memory of their grandparents with her as she walked down the aisle.
Adam Coker from Authentic Exposure documented the moment as Quinn watched Elizabeth walk down the aisle. They recited their vows and exchanged rings from Diamonds Direct, and Elizabeth says that was her favorite moment. Looking into your husbands eyes and meaning every word with all of your heart is truly beautiful, she says.
Dancing to Heaven by Brian Adams, Elizabeth and Quinn enjoyed their first dance as husband and wife. Yet with Quinns crazy cousins and Elizabeths own lively group of friends at their wedding, the props from the photo booth became a staple on the dance floor. As soon as the sun went down, the mustaches came out, she says.
Having housed many of Quinns family gatherings, the barn that held their reception is not only special to Quinn, but now will be a part of Elizabeths lifelong memories as well.Featured vendorsPhotography

iPhone devsugar: SwapKit
iPhone developer Emanuele Vulcano has been working on a new iPhone OS data exchange protocol called SwapKit [Apple Dev account required for link]. Hosted on GitHub, SwapKit provides App Store-friendly application-independent ways to publish data with custom metadata for sharing between applications.
SwapKit can automatically find all other SwapKit-using applications on a device and determine which of those applications can perform specific actions on that data. For example, a developer might send a string to the first Twitter-ready client it finds and request that client to post the string as a new tweet. SwapKit basically offers a Mac-style LaunchServices for iPhone.
Open source and provided under the MIT license (basically "use however you like"), SwapKit remains in early development. The screencast shown above demonstrates basic SwapKit features, demoing both sending and receiving functionality.

Bill to end alimony draws acrimonious debate in Tallahassee
Connie Bacher was awarded $1,400 in monthly alimony payments when her 23-year marriage ended in 2009.
At the time, she was living paycheck to paycheck and caring for her two daughters in Key West. But she considers the lifelong payments even more important now, she said.
"If I lose my alimony, I'll have to cut my health insurance or quit buying my medications," said Bacher, a bank loan officer who suffers from osteoarthritis in both knees and will likely need surgery later this year. "I don't know what I'll do."
A proposal on its way to the Senate floor could force her to find an additional source of income.
Lawmakers are considering a bill that would put an end to permanent alimony payments, and allow the courts to modify existing arrangements between former spouses. The bill would also require judges to give divorced parents equal custody of their children, unless one parent could make a convincing case otherwise.
Proponents of the proposal say it would not end alimony altogether but make it more fair.
"This is something that has been horrible for people for so many years," said Alan Frisher, co-founder Family Law Reform, a non-profit organization based in Lake County. "People have been stuck paying an order that ties them to their ex-spouse for the rest of their lives, even through retirement."
But the idea has met fierce opposition from lawyers and people who stand to lose their alimony benefits.
David Manz, a Marathon-based attorney and immediate past chair of the Family Law Section of the Florida Bar, called the bill "anti-family" and "anti-woman." He said it punishes women who stay at home by pushing them back into the workforce in the aftermath of a divorce.
Manz also believes the proposed legislation is unconstitutional.
"People have entered into agreements in which they gave up property in order to receive alimony benefits," he said. "To take those rights away would be unconstitutional."
Alimony-reform proposals have come and gone in Tallahassee, but this year may be different.The Senate is scheduled to take a final vote on the bill, SB 718, on Thursday. Its companion in the House, HB 231, cruised through two committees earlier in the year, and is awaiting a hearing on the floor.
If the bill were to become law, alimony benefits could no longer last more than half the length of the marriage. There would be new caps based on the paying spouse's salary, and the benefits would stop when the paying spouse retired.
"I want to make this so people can get divorced and get on with their lives," said Rep. Ritch Workman, R-Melbourne, who is sponsoring the bill in the House.
Workman pointed out that family court judges would have discretion to go outside of the guidelines when necessary.
Still, the proposal has sparked emotional testimony from people on all sides of the debate.
At a recent hearing in the House, Guido Albarran, of Deerfield Beach, likened his alimony payments to "financial enslavement." He said he gives half of his salary to his ex-wife, making it nearly impossible to support his aging mother and disabled brother.
"It's hard enough to retire in this day in age, let alone to retire and take care of two parties, one of whom has no stake in the game to control costs," Albarran said.
The custody provision has also been intensely debated, with opponents saying equal time sharing would limit the child support payments made to some parents.
Frisher, of Family Law Reform, believes the critics are mostly family court attorneys who would lose business if the bill passes. He said his group and other opponents "are not against alimony," but rather "the perpetual use of it."
"Divorce is stressful enough," Frisher said. "At least with this legislation, there will be some consistency and predictability to the law."

Denny's Corporation Reports Results For Second Quarter 2012
Depreciation and amortization expense decreased by $1.4 million compared with the prior year quarter, primarily as a result of the sale of restaurants over the past two years. Net operating gains, losses and other charges, which reflect restructuring charges, exit costs, impairment charges and gains or losses on the sale of assets, increased $3.6 million in the quarter. The increase was primarily the result of the sale of more company-owned units to franchisees.
Interest expense decreased $1.9 million to $3.0 million as a result of a $39.2 million reduction in total gross debt over the last 12 months and lower interest rates under the refinanced credit facility.
In the second quarter, the provision for income taxes increased $2.8 million, primarily due to a higher effective tax rate of 41.1% compared to 4.8% effective tax rate in the prior year quarter. The change in the effective tax rate compared to the prior year resulted from the release of a substantial portion of the valuation allowance on certain deferred tax assets based on our improved historical and projected pre-tax income. Due to the use of net operating loss and tax credit carryforwards, the Company only paid $1.2 million in cash taxes in the second quarter.
Denny's net income was $4.6 million for the second quarter 2012, or $0.05 per diluted share, compared with prior year period net income of $8.1 million, or $0.08 per diluted share. Net income was impacted by the refinancing of our credit facility which resulted in a charge to other nonoperating expense of $7.9 million for the unamortized portion of deferred financing costs and original issue discount related to the prior facility, and portion of the fees related to the new facility. Adjusted Income Before Taxes*, Denny's metric for earnings guidance, increased 34.6% to $12.9 million compared with the prior year quarter Adjusted Income Before Taxes* of $9.6 million.

Who Was That Masked Man? Part 11

The pastor was quiet that week, no emails or phone calls.I told my husband that I thought the time was right for me to join him at the other church and that I had no intention of going back to the old church as a member ever again. He was the recipient that afternoon of quite a few emails from Tom Smith telling him that he was dicing with his very salvation by attending this main stream denomination filled with homosexual abortionists.Fast forward a week.

Millipede: Part 12
by MillipedeIn truth, our Pastor was going through a period of soul searching. In the years that we first met him, certain issues had driven him into the Patriot movement which in turn had exposed him to different variants of Christianity.Now, not quite a decade later, his experiences had found him wanting. He liked our church and the people in it, but he had also seen a lot of people leave in a huff. The hair splitting, the people who shied away from organized churches; coming from a traditional fundamentalist background, he felt that most people in the Patriot movement wanted to be a law unto themselves. He felt that they were Christian only on the surface and that they used it to … [Read more...]

We both knew we were going to become engaged, the question was one of timing.The lease for the sugary little condo that I was renting with my friend was going to be up at the end of June.

WHO? Artist Leo Villareal's BUCKYBALL
If a soccer ball,a rhombus, and a Rubik's copulated in electric orgasm; the result would be artist Leo Villareal's Buckyball: now on view and the Sandra Gering Gallery on the Upper East Side.
The original larger than life LED light ball debuted two years ago at Madison Square Park. Three smaller versions — at $150,000 each– draw us in now, igniting childhood sci fi fantasies. Like Jeff Koons– whose trains and giant basketball art sculptures — were inspired by his son's leftover toys, Villareal seems to engage us playfully. Cuatro Villareal — 11 years — told me at the post opening dinner last evening at Amaranth that his dad's work "inspires" him, which surprised his father.
"Funny," Leo said. "He never seems interested in going to art parties, with the exception of Cindy Sherman's holiday party one year." He chuckled. "She's only the most famous female artist in the world!" Little Cuatro, then a toddler, had found drawers of costumes Sherman had used to dress up for her own photos and post party, kept begging his father for "a play date with Cindy."
Villareal — who first sculpted the buckyballs and then painstakingly crafted each of the LED lights affixed to the lines over the course of a year–has really won the jackpot for composing life sized FUN.
Anyone driving across the Oakland Bridge in San Francisco will enter Villareal's LED embellished masterpiece (25,0000 LED lights on each angle of architecture) as he or she travels from one end to the other.

What happens when one female artist considers global warming (outside) and people working like insects in trapped offices in NYC (inside) and also indulges in a fantasy of light, fashion, and homemade couture?

WHO? Marianne Vitale, "My pimp" in Performa's the Missing Book of Spurs

11-23-2014 I always enjoyed playing "Cowboys and Injuns" with my Pop-pop when I was a little girl. We'd line up the red, yellow, green, and blue men with rifles and hatchets on the rug, and I suppose in our own way, we created a work of art every time. We built a story out of toy men, evoked history, waged battle.
Little did I know that Xxx?! years later, I'd meet the effervescent sculptor/artist Marianne Vitale in a living saloon she created for the Performa festival entitled "The Missing Book of Spurs."
This eve, I'll be flaunting "my wares" for these two chaps grooving behind the bar, since I'm portraying a whore in Marianne's book. Rest assured, I'll be charging the blokes figurative top dollar! And I might give them some dancing lessons in the process….

Le Bec Fin Will Be Retiring In June 2013; Two Michelin Star Chef Justin Bogle Returns Home To Philadelphia To Develop New Progressive American Food Concept Restaurant In Legendary Venue
PHILADELPHIA, May 16, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- The iconic Philadelphia restaurant Le Bec Fin will retire in Summer 2013. The main dining room space will be reimagined under the visionary direction of one of America's rising award-winning Chefs, Justin Bogle. Renowned local Chef Chris Scarduzio will be on hand to assist Bogle with his new endeavor as Director of Operations.
"After being given the opportunity to retire one of the city's most celebrated restaurants and manage the development of a new concept, I knew that Justin Bogle was 'the man' to take on this historic transformation," said Scarduzio. "I'm excited to help lead this process, and what we have planned for this restaurant under Justin's culinary artistry will make it America's next great restaurant, and a must-visit destination in Philadelphia."
If there is anyone on the food scene who has the pedigree to take over this iconic space, it's one of the youngest Two Michelin Star award-winning chefs in American history, Justin Bogle. Bogle's roots in the hospitality industry began in Philadelphia working in the kitchen with the likes of Jose Garces, Douglas Rodriguez, and Christopher Lee. In 2009, he became Executive Chef at Gilt restaurant in NYC, where he gained national recognition as one of the country's finest culinary artists. This marks Bogle's first return to his Philadelphia pedigree.
" Philadelphia has always been 'home' to me," said Bogle, who is currently developing the restaurant concept. "It's where I got my start cooking with the incredible Chefs who helped put the city on the map as a world class restaurant destination. To be able to return to Philadelphia with all that I've learned while working in New York City is a dream come true. I am excited to bring my cuisine back to Philadelphia to contribute to the amazing culinary community."Bogle plans to reimagine the 1523 Walnut Street location with a Progressive American menu concept that highlights his achievements, inspiration from seasonal ingredients, and collaboration with local farmers and foragers . The main dining room will showcase Bogle's resourceful technique with a variety of pre fixe options. The downstairs lounge will remain open during renovations of the main dining room and will feature a more relaxed ambiance with bistro-type food and speakeasy-inspired cocktails. This new concept is slated to launch in Fall 2013.

Mobile Memorial Exhibit Visits Coral Ridge Mall
CORALVILLE, IA (CBS2/FOX28) – Erica Pasker and her husband Terry were planning to start a family when he returned home from his deployment in the Middle East.
"Then two years ago, on July 9th, Terry was killed in Afghanistan," Erica said.
Now his picture is a part of the "Remembering Our Fallen" photo exhibit. It honors Terry and the more than 80 Iowans who have been killed in Afghanistan and Iraq, and those still serving.
"Not only the ones who gave the ultimate sacrifice but also served their country, willing to give their sacrifice if necessary," said Coralville Mayor Jim Fausett.
What's extra special is how easy the exhibit is to find. It's in the main entrance at the Scheels in the Coral Ridge Mall.
"I think it's a wonderful place because of the traffic, the folks that go by," said Representative David Loebsack.
"It's kind of a weird place, but I think it's actually really neat because it takes away that separation," Pasker said.
The separation you might feel from more traditional memorials that aren't in the middle of a store. This exhibit travels to you. It's been on the road since May of 2011.
It also helps Erica know that her husband won't be forgotten, "and remember that he was important and meaningful and that he did matter," said Pasker.
Long after she can't tell his story anymore.
The exhibit will be on display until Tuesday, July 23 and can be seen during normal store hours.

"Concerns over Ukraine and Russia came back strong, and were cited as the reason for today's big drop," reported Schaeffer's Senior Technical Strategist Ryan Detrick, CMT. "Amazon.com, Inc. (NASDAQ:AMZN) didn't help, as its outlook left a lot to be desired. Bigger picture, the chop continues. Coming into this week, the S&P 500 Index (SPX) -- in terms of its weekly price action -- was up/down/up/down/up/down/up ... and finished moderately down today. The reality is the high-flying momentum names continue to drop significantly, while most other stocks keep chopping around in a very frustrating fashion." Meanwhile, the Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJI) was down nearly 170 points at its intraday nadir, and finished 140 points lower, ending the week in negative territory.

The Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJI - 16,361.46) spent Friday in the red, hitting its lowest point in mid-afternoon trading before closing with a 140.2 point, or 0.9%, drop. For the week, the blue-chip index lost 0.3%. Eight Dow names managed to gain ground today, led by McDonald's Corporation (NYSE:MCD), which rose 0.9%. Pacing the declining majority was Visa Inc (NYSE:V), which dropped 5% amid concerns that sanctions against Russia could impact the credit card giant's bottom line.
The S&P 500 Index (SPX - 1,863.40) also fell, losing 15.2 points, or 0.8%, on the day, and closing the week off less than 0.1%. The Nasdaq Composite (COMP - 4,075.56) fared the worst of its index peers, shedding 72.8 points, or 1.8%, to bring its weekly deficit to 0.5%.
The CBOE Volatility Index (VIX - 14.06) closed back above the 14 level for the first time since April 16, rising 0.7 point, or 5.6%, on the day. This week, the market's "fear gauge" added 5.2%.
A Trader's Take:
"The reality is, next week is still earnings season, but all of that can quickly take a backseat to what is happening in Ukraine and Russia," noted Detrick. "Earnings season has been impressive thus far, but there's an old saying that 'news trumps charts,' and news out of Russia could create a good deal of volatility by the time we get back to our desks Monday morning. Fasten your seat belts."

Farmers, researchers fatten fish in rice fields
Alongside a flooded field of rice stubble, Jacob Katz dipped a fish net into turbid water and came up with a half dozen or so silvery juvenile salmon.
Associated Press
Alongside a flooded field of rice stubble, Jacob Katz dipped a fish net into turbid water and came up with a half dozen or so silvery juvenile salmon.
After a century of watching rivers held back by levies and California wetlands developed into farm fields, conservation groups are having some success reversing environmental consequences - at least when it comes to sensitive salmon. And in a state where farmers and environmentalists fight constantly over scarce water, finding a way to use the same supply for two purposes could be game-changing.
In February, researchers released 50,000 chinook salmon juveniles into a flooded 20-acre test field lined with canals and levies. On Wednesday, the last of those fish made their way down the Tule Canal toward Northern California's Sacramento River and beyond.
The experiment was a collaboration between farmers and biologists to place young salmon in flooded rice fields to mimic the vast marshlands that originally lined the rivers of the Central Valley, where the fish thrived in their natural habitat. The Sacramento River used to spill its banks into rich tule marshes that were five miles wide in places, but it has since been channeled.
"When I look at the fish in the marsh, I say almost glibly that it's almost as if they evolved there, which of course they did," said Katz, a salmon researcher with California Trout.
"We've only recently come to understand that marsh was really, really valuable habitat," said Katz. "Our system of dams and steep levies was built when very little was known about biology and very little consideration was given."
The experiment took place in the Yolo Bypass northwest of Sacramento, a flood plain that now is home to thousands of acres of rice fields. In wet years, the bypass is a natural haven for salmon because the fish have a steady supply of insects and are shielded from larger predators. But most of the time, it's not flooded long enough to benefit the salmon, so researchers worked with farmers for the past two years to find the right balance.
The participants include California Trout, a nonprofit devoted to protecting cold-water fish species; University of California, Davis; the California Department of Water Resources; and John Brennan of the Knaggs Ranch, one of the participating farms.
"The Central Valley used to have five of these places where water flooded over the banks," Katz said as he stood in waders in the water. "The juveniles would wash into the marshes for a pit stop" and emerge ready to swim to the ocean.
Katz and his team have discovered, perhaps not surprisingly, that over six weeks, the test fish fattened seven times faster and had superior survival rates than their kin that were left to mature in the harsher deep river channel. The marshland fish grew from 55 millimeters to an average of 90 millimeters in that time.
In comparison, fish in the river grew from 38 millimeters to 44 millimeters over the same length of time. Part of that difference, though, was from the fish's calorie-burning movement as they avoid predators and fight the current. The river fish also are washed out to sea at an earlier stage.
"Historically, those small fish would have been swept into flood plains and would have spent a month or two getting large and robust," Katz said. "That would have put them in the ocean at a time that was better for the conditions they need. A salmon has to be in the right place at the right time at each stage of its life."
Generally about 5 percent of river salmon make it to the ocean, but these researchers are betting that larger, healthier juveniles will more easily avoid predators, thrive in the ocean and return to spawn. About 60 from the experiment were tagged to track progress and to compare their success to a control group released from hatcheries.
Federal and state governments have built hatcheries and gravel beds to encourage spawning, but research shows that an important part of the process has been missing.
"Everyone used to think that the key to salmon success was sparkling water and gravel beds in the mountains," said Carson Jeffries of the UC Davis Center for Watershed Sciences as he stood by a muddy field. "But this is where they packed their lunch for the trip out to sea."
The salmon research follows an incentive program for rice farmers in the Sacramento Valley to build a system of islands and other improvements in their paddies to provide wetlands for migratory and water birds. The state's rice paddies, which produce much of the sushi rice consumed in the U.S., take up more than a half million acres in the Sacramento Valley, while protected wetlands cover a little more than 77,000 acres.
As Katz watched the flood plain-fattened fish begin the months-long swim that will take them out of the Golden Gate, he considered a possible future link: whether salmon raised in the paddies would end up inside a seaweed wrap with the rice that was grown there.
"Wait three years and ask me again," he said.
