Oral History Program Sylvia Simoncini Interviewed by Marci Farr 12 October 2010 Oral History Program Weber State University Stewart Library Ogden, Utah Sylvia Simoncini Interviewed by Marci Farr 12 October 2010 Copyright © 2010 by Weber State University, Stewart Library Mission Statement The Oral History Program of the Stewart Library was created to preserve the institutional history of Weber State University and the Davis, Ogden and Weber County communities. By conducting carefully researched, recorded, and transcribed interviews, the Oral History Program creates archival oral histories intended for the widest possible use. Interviews are conducted with the goal of eliciting from each participant a full and accurate account of events. The interviews are transcribed, edited for accuracy and clarity, and reviewed by the interviewees (as available), who are encouraged to augment or correct their spoken words. The reviewed and corrected transcripts are indexed, printed, and bound with photographs and illustrative materials as available. Archival copies are placed in Special Collections. The Stewart Library also houses the original recording so researchers can gain a sense of the interviewee's voice and intonations. Project Description The St. Benedict's School of Nursing was founded in 1947 by the Sisters of Mount Benedict. The school operated from April 1947 to 1968. Over the forty-one year period, the school had 605 students and 357 graduates. In 1966, the program became the basis for Weber State College's Practical Nursing Program. This oral history project was created to capture the memories of the graduates and to add to the history of nursing education in Ogden. The interviews focus on their training, religion, and experiences working with doctors, nurses, nuns, and patients at St. Benedict's Hospital. This project received funding from the Utah Humanities Council and the Utah Division of State History. ____________________________________ Oral history is a method of collecting historical information through recorded interviews between a narrator with firsthand knowledge of historically significant events and a well-informed interviewer, with the goal of preserving substantive additions to the historical record. Because it is primary material, oral history is not intended to present the final, verified, or complete narrative of events. It is a spoken account. It reflects personal opinion offered by the interviewee in response to questioning, and as such it is partisan, deeply involved, and irreplaceable. ____________________________________ Rights Management Special Collections All literary rights in the manuscript, including the right to publish, are reserved to the Stewart Library of Weber State University.

In this interview, Sylvia discusses her recollections and experiences with the St. Benedict's School of Nursing. MF: This is Marci Farr. We are interviewing Sylvia Simoncini. She graduated from St. Benedict's School of Nursing in 1960. We are interviewing her via telephone, and it is October 12, 2010. Sylvia, we just want you to start out and just tell us a little bit about where you grew up, a little bit about your family and where you attended school. SS: Well, I was born and raised in Rock Springs, Wyoming, and I'm still here. I graduated from Rock Springs High School in 1957. My mother and dad are both Italian. I have one brother. MF: What do you think made you decide to become a nurse? Is there a reason why you decided? SS: Not really. I graduated when I was seventeen, and at some point I realized that my parents probably couldn't afford to send me to a four-year university. I looked at the options; I didn't want to be a teacher, I didn't want to just work in an ordinary job, and I had known of some people who had gone to St. Benedict's and Holy Cross, actually, and probably even St. Mark's at that time. I decided to investigate it, and got some information in the mail, and applied. I think I applied to both St. Benedict's and Holy Cross, but the interview and testing with St. 2 Benedict's was first, and they accepted me, and that's where I decided to go. I really liked Ogden. MF: That's a good thing. Was this your first time away from home? SS: Yes. MF: How was that? Were you okay with that, were you nervous? SS: A little, yeah, nervous, and excited at the same time. SL: Who was your roommate while you were in training? SS: We had different roommates – my longest time roommate was Mary Lou Dellamar. She was from Ogden. MF: You just had different ones – who were your other roommates that you had? SS: My first roommate was from Green River, Wyoming. She didn't stay long in the program. After that my roommate was Mary Lou. We did a stint at Ingleside, Nebraska. MF: Was that for your psych? SS: For the psych experience. MF: How was that? SS: There was LouAnn Marocchi, a student named Ester Uridi – she ultimately didn't finish the program – and Yvonne Febrezio, and she didn't finish the program. Let me think - Frances Greigo and Mary Lou Dellamar. I believe you have talked to Frances. MF: Yes - Frances Duncan. SS: Yes. MF: Yes, we have. What was your experience there? 3 SS: I liked it. It was a huge complex of buildings, and they had an alcoholics ward, and a schizophrenic ward, and a manic-depressive ward. They sort of had all those people segregated into what their mental health problem was and also by gender. There were a lot of patients there. I think the thing I remember most about the schizophrenic ward was that all the women wore scrub dresses. In those days you didn't wear scrub suits, with a top and pants. They were scrub dresses that were not much different from the scrub dresses you would wear in the operating room. MF: That's interesting. SS: Those people – you know, some of them had been there years and years, with no hope of ever getting out. MF: That would be hard, to have to see that. SS: It is, but that was the norm at the time. That was where I got an introduction to electro-convulsive therapy, which was an electric shock to the frontal part of the brain, with the theory being that it changed their thought processes. It caused a severe convulsion in the people who had it. I remember them standing in line to get it done. It was very strange. MF: That would be hard. How long were you in Nebraska? SS: We were there three months. MF: Were you? Okay. Did you also have another rotation, or did you have that at the hospital? SS: We did – we had a pediatrics rotation at Children's Hospital in Denver. MF: Okay. Tell us a little bit about that. How was that experience? 4 SS: Well, it was interesting. Denver's a pretty big city, and we were all excited about it. I remember that we stayed in a place called Tammen Hall, and Children's Hospital was very close there. At that time, there were other big hospitals in the area. There was St. Luke's and Presbyterian. I believe St. Luke's is still there, and it has changed hands several times. I'm not even sure – it might be owned by a corporation by now. Presbyterian - I kind of lost track of what happened there. But Presbyterian had another hospital in Denver located in Aurora. It was a little smaller. The Children's Hospital in Denver and those other hospitals were within walking distance of one another. It was interesting. We didn't have, until then, very much experience with pediatric patients, and it was a little hard to see that many sick children, some of whom were in the terminal stages of leukemia. At that time, they had very little or no treatment for it. I also vividly remember a burn unit there, and some of those kids were severely burned. They didn't have the technology or the procedures that they do today. It was really hard to watch. Burns are probably the most difficult thing to treat, because it covers the whole body. I do remember one little kid there who had been in a fire. He was severely burned. It was a pretty horrifying experience to watch that. We had some really great clinical instructors there. They were very strict. MF: It was probably a good thing to be able to have that training, though. SS: This was – at this time, you know, you wore a white starched uniform, and a white cap, and white nylons and white shoes. But I do remember Ingleside – when we worked in the alcoholic psych unit. I think we wore street clothes on that 5 unit. They had some personality problems, but for the most part, they were fun. We played cards a lot. MF: So they hadn't gotten any of the drugs that helped with depression or anything like that? SS: Well, at that time, the medication they were giving the most of was Thorazine. MF: Oh, okay. SS: I think it worked fairly well, but it could be very toxic, and it was, especially over time. It caused liver damage. I have seen severe convulsions precipitated by a Thorazine reaction. Patients on Thorazine or other meds would line up at the nurses' station to get it. The medication nurse was behind a window like a teller in a bank. They'd come up, were identification, and given a cupful of medications. There was a nurse outside that window making sure they swallowed their medicine, because some of them liked to spit it out. MF: That is crazy. That would be an interesting couple months. SS: It is. It was kind of like mental health care on a grand scale. MF: That's true. SS: They had a place there for the really, really severely insane, and they wouldn't let students go up there. MF: Probably for your safety, I'm sure. SS: Students can be disruptive to a unit, because you're new, you go in for a little while, and then you're out and there's a new group rotating there. So you know, I think normalcy and consistency were probably more beneficial than not. MF: Absolutely, that's true. 6 SS: Children's, on the other hand, was a regular in-patient hospital. It was regular medical surgical hospital. The big difference was that they were all children. I can remember working in the preemie ward. There were premature infants there. They had a thing called the milk lab, and moms who were breastfeeding would come in and pump their breasts, and leave their breast milk there. We would label it, process it, and refrigerate it. So some of those preemies got their mothers' milk. For others who didn't, we had a formula lab, and we used to make gobs of formula every day. MF: Wow, that's interesting. SS: Anyway, today that's all different, but they do still harvest breast milk for some babies. MF: Tell us about a few of your classmates when you were at St. Benedict's. Is there anything fun you used to do if you had some time off? SS: We had very little time off. We went to classes most of the time in the afternoon; anatomy, physiology, nutrition, I think we had some chemistry, pharmacology, orthopedics, infectious diseases. You had some didactic work to do in pediatrics, too, then all of the med-surg kinds of things. It was an intense course. But in addition to that, you also worked four to eight hours a day in the hospital. So sometimes your day was fairly long. You were scheduled on the weekends to work, not every weekend, but weekends off were sparse. When I had a weekend off, I grabbed the bus and came home. MF: That's true, that would be the first choice. 7 SS: The people from Ogden went home to their homes in Ogden. So that's pretty much what we did. We would go to movies, and it was kind of fun to catch the bus and go downtown, just do a little shopping and walk around. I can remember on Harrison Boulevard there was a place called Vogal's pharmacy. You could go down there and sit and have a milkshake or a Coke or whatever. We used to sometimes walk down there just to get away. We'd walk down, get some ice cream, and after we were through, we'd trek back up the hill. It's quite a walk uphill, from Harrison up to Polk Avenue. MF: Yes. Did you ever try sneaking out, or anything like that? SS: Some of the girls did, and we knew who they were, and we knew when they were doing it. The nuns did too. There wasn't much you could do that the nuns didn't know about. I never tried it – I was afraid to try it. They'd sneak out the window, and I don't know if you've been up there and looked at the nurses' home; from the ground floor to the grass is quite a jump. Out the back – if you went out the front, it wasn't so bad. Some of them were notorious for going out the window. Of course, we would also help them to get back in once they were out. You could go out, and you had to sign out, at St. Benedict's nurses' home, at the front desk there was a big family room and an office. You had to sign in and out at that office, give them an estimate of the time you would be back, and where you were going. MF: So they kept track, and they'd make sure. SS: Oh, yeah. Especially if you were going to be gone after seven or eight o'clock at night. I know when I would go to Rock Springs and come back, sometimes the 8 bus was late or got in late, and then I'd just take a cab up to the hospital. You couldn't get in the nursing home after a certain hour; it was locked down. If you were out after that time, you had to come in through the hospital. Somebody was always stationed at a desk in the hospital, and watched who came and who went. You had to sign in at the desk, and if you wanted to leave after a certain time, you signed out at that desk. There was a tunnel between the hospital and the nursing residence, which most of us didn't like to go through, but in the wintertime it was kind of nice. MF: That's good. So that's how you'd get back in? SS: Yes. Once in a while, anyone who had a car would drive up to Weber Canyon or Ogden Canyon? Up to Rainbow Gardens? MF: It's Ogden Canyon. SS: Ogden Canyon. We would go up there and have lunch, and come back down. MF: That's a good place to have food. SS: It is. We had another rotation at the tuberculosis sanitorium. MF: Oh, okay. SS: I'm not sure exactly where it was. It wasn't very far from St. Benedict's. I don't think it was on Polk Avenue, but it could have been. I know we didn't have to go very far to get there. We would stay there, they had rooms for us; we were there about a month, and the most remarkable thing about that was that their food was really good. MF: That's good, that's always a good thing. 9 SS: Years later, when they thought they had tuberculosis under control, they closed all those sanitoriums. About – maybe seven, eight years ago or more, after tuberculosis raised its ugly head again and it was resistant to all kinds of treatment. They were thinking about re-opening sanatoriums. The biggest problem was that patients on their own were not very compliant with taking all the medications they needed. They had quite a few patients there – I don't remember exactly how many. I do remember that we used to give shots every week, of a drug called Streptomycin. After I had worked with Streptomycin, over time I became allergic to it. You can't even get it today; people raise their eyebrows when you say you're allergic to Streptomycin, because it's not even available anymore. MF: That's interesting. SS: They had to get a lot of Streptomycin, and three or four different kinds of antibiotic types of things. Some of them did have to have surgery to collapse a lung, so that it would rest and heal, but I didn't see much of that. MF: That would be interesting to learn about that. SS: Of course, advances in medicine have changed interventions a lot. MF: It has, absolutely, I'm sure. What do you remember most about the sisters while you were in training? SS: You know, I still think that their habits were remarkable. They always looked neat and pious, and they were. They were very strict, very smart. They were devout; they were good nurses. Some of the best nurses I ever knew were some of our 10 clinical instructors who were nuns. Some of the head nurses who were nuns were just awesome. MF: Did you have any interaction with them other than when you were at the hospital? Did you have any outside activities? SS: Yeah, we did – they used to have backyard parties, like picnics. I think there's a tennis court there, and sometimes I think we would cook out out there. It was kind of fun. I don't know if you've been up there to look at it, but it's a beautiful place, and it's just kind of nice to get out there and look at the mountains. MF: It is a beautiful area; we went past it the other day. It is beautiful. Tell us about your favorite classes that you had, or some that were not your favorite. SS: I had two. I liked anatomy and physiology, and pharmacology. I think it was because a nun named Sister Estelle taught anatomy and physiology, and she was a good instructor. We learned a lot from her. Pharmacology was taught by Sister Rebecca. She was short, thin, and pert. Full of energy, but she was getting hard of hearing. So sometimes she didn't actually understand what you were saying. But it was very interesting, because giving medications is more complex than you think. You need to know how it's absorbed, the half-life of it, the bioavailability of it, and what it's supposed to do, what the expectation is for that drug, drug interactions with other drugs, drug interactions with food, allergic reactions, common side effects, that kind of thing. It was pretty interesting. MF: That's good. Do you remember any of your other instructors that you had while you were there? SS: I remember Mrs. Farr. 11 MF: Helen Farr? SS: Yes. She was very nice. A good nurse, and we had her for clinical. I can't remember the name of the nun who was on OB, but she was just beautiful, and nice. Very strict. MF: Was it Sister Mary Gerald? SS: No. Sister Mary Gerald was medical floor. MF: That's right, she was med-surg. I can't remember who it was. SS: I don't remember. Sister Mary Gerald was like the director of medical floor. Then there was a Miss Daneen, who was an ex-Army nurse, who was actually the head nurse, or the charge nurse on the day shift. Wow, was she ever strict. I mean, you better get it right, and not the second time – the first time. Then we had an instructor named Mrs. Bartlett. She did medical surg, and I'm not really sure what ever happened to her. I liked her well enough. I think it was a Sister Edicta, who was in charge of the operating room. At that time there were no recovery rooms. You just did operating room. By the time I was a senior, they were building recovery rooms somewhere on that floor. MF: That's good. Do you remember any of the doctors that you worked with? SS: Oh, gosh. You know, not really. I can remember an orthopedic surgeon who was just – I have to say it – difficult and very particular. Some of the other people probably told you his name; I can't remember it. MF: Was it Dr. Swindler? 12 SS: Yes, it was. I also remember a Dr. Grua who was a general surgeon. Then there were two brothers, the Tanners; I think one was a plastic surgeon and I don't remember the other one. MF: Was it Dean and Noall? SS: Dean and Noall, yes. I can't remember which one was a plastic surgeon; I think the other one was a general surgeon or ear, nose, and throat. I don't remember. MF: I think Dean was the plastic surgeon. That's good to know, because I've heard a lot about them, they're wonderful. That's good. When you were on rotations just at St. Benedict's, which floor did you enjoy the most, or which experience? SS: The experience I liked the most was operating room. After I graduated and did a little bit of med-surg and emergency room and transferred to the operating room. I was there about fifteen years, and for nine years of that time I was the head nurse there. MF: Oh, good. SS: Operating room has been my first love. I still miss it to this day. MF: Why so, do you think, rather than the others? SS: Well, I felt like you could finish what you started. If you're a floor nurse, and you have five or six patients, you feel like you're never finished. You hop from one to the other doing various things. By the time you leave, you feel like you haven't done anybody any justice. You have so much to do that sometimes when you prioritize, you end up leaving your shift feeling guilty about not being superwoman. You only have so much time. But when you start an operating room case, you usually finish it, unless you get sick or you have to be released 13 for lunch or something. But once you start that, you finish it. I guess I like that about it. MF: That's true; that makes sense. SS: I also liked the process of sterile technique. I still consider it fun. MF: That's good. Tell us a little bit about your capping ceremony. Do you remember when that was held and where it took place? SS: It was in the first year we were there; I don't know if we had been there for six months, seems to me like that. Of course, everybody's parents came. I think we got our capes at the same time. Those beautiful wool, navy-blue capes, with a red lining. Mine's still downstairs in the cedar-lined closet. It was beautiful. They were – I would say almost knee-length. They were long. Of course, they have "St. Benedict's" on the collar, and you get your cape. Sister Berno, who was the director over all the students, would put your cap on your head. You wore a white uniform, and I think we carried one rose. MF: Okay. So was that just a great day, to know that you'd made it that far? SS: Oh, yeah, that's a big deal. That capping's a big deal. They don't even wear caps any more. MF: No, they don't. SS: They wear uniforms that make them look like the cleaning lady, and sometimes they're not even ironed. You can't tell by looking at them that they're a nurse. They're in scrubs, but you can go down and you can buy scrubs, and wear them out for leisure. I liked it better when nurses wore a uniform and were recognized by it. 14 MF: That's true. What do you think was probably your greatest challenge while you were in nurses' training? SS: It was frustrating, because they expected so much out of you, but I don't think anybody could do all of it. MF: It was a big undertaking, I think. What about graduation? Tell us a little bit about that. SS: Graduation was in the church, as I recall. We did not wear our capes, but we had to wear our uniform, and Sister Berno insisted that they be long-sleeved. I went down to one of the uniform shops, and I looked at all of the long-sleeved uniforms, and I really didn't like them. They looked scruffy. They didn't look sheik, nice for young people. So I brought several of them to the dorm, and I brought one uniform that I particularly liked that had three-quarter length sleeves. Not long, but three-quarter length. We modeled them in front of Sister, and she ended up agreeing with us. She agreed with us that the one with three-quarter length sleeves looked the best. Unbeknownst to her, we had already ordered them, so if she decided she didn't like it, I don't know what we were going to do. MF: Well, there you go, that's good. SS: Of course, you had to wear white shoes, and they had to be clean all the time. We used a lot of white shoe polish. They also wanted your shoelaces clean. You better not be caught with a pair of shoelaces that weren't clean. They wanted your uniform three or four inches below your knee, period. I've known people who were sent back to their room to put on another uniform if it wasn't just right. MF: They had to sparkle, huh? 15 SS: They laundered and starched our uniforms for us, and they were very well done, and very crisp. MF: I'm sure that was fun, trying to put that on the first time. SS: Yes. MF: Tell us about – after you graduated, did you stay at St. Benedict's? SS: You know, I didn't. I applied for a job and was interviewed here in Rock Springs. It was Memorial Hospital of Sweetwater County, and it still has that name. I went to work there, and I started working on a surgical floor. At that time, they were segregated by medical floor, surgical floor, pediatrics, OB – I think they still do that. I was on the surgical floor, but it just so happened that they also segregated by gender. So upstairs, it was all the women. Downstairs, on the medical floor, it was all the men, even if they'd had surgery. Figure that out. So I was upstairs with all the women. My first head nurse was Evelyn Johnson - I graduated with her daughter Lyn. She calls herself Janet now, but everybody from Rock Springs still calls her Lyn. MF: That's a small world, isn't it? SS: Yes. She was as strict as any nun I ever saw. She was a very good nurse. I liked her. MF: That's good. So you stayed there? SS: Well, I did that for a little while, and then they hired some other new graduate students. One of those other students didn't want to work with the male patients so I went to work there. I had no problem working with the guys. Pediatrics was located on that floor, too. Pediatrics was at one end of a long hall, and the men's 16 floor on the other side. We had a small emergency room. It was one big room. You could separate it down the middle with a curtain, a draw curtain. MF: Okay. SS: The patients would ring a doorbell when they came in, and the nurse from the first floor, the medical/surgical male ward, would answer the bell. You would be answering emergency stuff in between doing care on the floor. That was a juggling act. MF: That is interesting. So have you retired, or are you still working? SS: Yes, I retired in 2006. I had a career that spans forty-four and a half years. MF: I'm sure your training from St. Benedict's served you very well. SS: It did. After I left the operating room, I went back to school, and I got a bachelor's degree in allied health sciences from Colorado Women's College in Denver. After that, I took an ICU course at LDS Hospital in Salt Lake, and that course was about three or four weeks. We lived in a house they had across the street. That made me decide I didn't want to be an ICU nurse, but I enjoyed it and I learned a lot. After that, I applied to the University of Utah to finish up on a bachelor's degree in nursing. At that time, that division was held in Weber College. It was a University of Utah program, but it was at the Weber College campus. So I moved back to Ogden, and I finished my bachelor's degree in a year and a summer. MF: Very good. SS: After that, I came back to Rock Springs and I started an LPN program at Western Wyoming Community College. It's still there and has expanded to a two year RN program. I taught in that program for four years, applied again to the University of 17 Utah, and was accepted in their Master's program. So I moved to Salt Lake City, and it took two full years and a summer to finish my Master's degree. I also did an internship at Stanford in California for about three months. After that I got a job at the University of Utah hospital. I started out in quality management, and that's what I did there. I wasn't there very long when we had a big joint commission survey. That just brings shivers down your spine when you hear that. It's the commission that accredits hospitals. I was in charge of twenty-three different units doing quality assurance. I picked twenty-three people and made them responsible for their floor to get that kind of work done. They had already had some of those people in place. We worked on various things that were specific to each unit and we passed joint commission with flying colors. It was stressful but fun too. I've always been concerned about the quality of patient care, and how you measure the outcomes and goals. So I learned a lot in that job. Then a friend of mine from Rock Springs, the director of nursing in Rock Springs, called me. She said she was retiring and suggested that I put in an application for the job she was leaving. By that time, I wanted to get back home. My dad was getting up in years, and so I came to Rock Springs, interviewed, got the job; and I stayed in that job for nineteen years. I was director of nursing there at Memorial Hospital of Sweetwater County. MF: What a great thing. That was probably nice, to be back home. SS: Yes, it was good for me. MF: That is great. Thank you for sharing your memories with us today.

Ledford has been working to change Tennessee Code ever since Tiffany Isaza killed her 24-year-old son, Dustin, on July 10, 2010, in a head-on collision. Most recently, Ledford asked the Cleveland City Council and Bradley County Commission for their support.
"I feel like 2013 is the year we are going to get this law passed. I feel like if we can get the letters to the governor and let him see the amount of people that support us, maybe he'll think it is a good law and it does need to be passed," she said in a recent interview.
"We need to flood the governor's office with as many letters in support of this law as we can and just keep it on his mind that there is a law out there that needs to be passed.
"When Dustin was killed, I prayed that he would not have died in vain. I want what happened to Dustin to have a purpose and this is just one way, by getting this law changed, that Dustin would not have died for nothing."
State Rep. Eric Watson introduced House Bill 1038, "Dustin's Law," in the 107th General Assembly on Feb. 15, 2011. The last action placed it on the House Finance Subcommittee calendar April 24, 2012.
He reintroduced Dustin's Law in the 108th General Assembly as H.B. 0524 on Jan. 30, and Sen. Mike Bell introduced S.B 1021 in the Senate on Jan. 31.
According to the summary statement, the legislation adds vehicular homicide with a blood alcohol concentration of .20 percent or more; or vehicular homicide with a blood alcohol concentration of .08 percent or more and any blood concentration of methamphetamine to the definition of aggravated vehicular homicide.
Presently, a person commits the Class A felony of aggravated vehicular homicide under the following conditions: (1) The defendant has two or more prior convictions for DUI or vehicular assault;
(2) The defendant has one or more prior convictions for the offense of vehicular homicide; or
(3) There was, at the time of the offense, 0.20 percent, or more, by weight of alcohol in the defendant's blood and the defendant has one prior conviction for DUI or vehicular assault.
"You have to have a prior conviction before you get aggravated vehicular homicide. There's something wrong with that. A vehicle's a weapon too," she said. "If you kill somebody with an automobile, the sentence is eight to 12 years in prison. If Dustin's Law gets passed, that will be 16 to 20 years."
Isaza had a blood-alcohol measurement of .24 and methamphetamine in her body.
"People, somehow, have got to get the point that they need to make wise choices and they don't need to get behind the wheel if they're intoxicated," she said. "I'm going to do everything I can to try to change the law. I know I'm only one person, but with the help of friends and family and people I don't even know, we can get it done."
Since the death of her and Danny's only son, Kim has worked to ensure it is done. She travels to different counties and states to speak on victim-impact panels, schools and civic organizations.
"I went to California in August to become an advocate for victims of drunk driving," she said.
Victim-impact panels are mandatory classes for drunk drivers. Bradley County does not have a panel "— not yet, but we will have," she said. "We've already got the meeting place, we've just got to get the judges on-board."
Changing the law is not going to change what happened to Dustin and it is not going to give Isaza anymore time in jail. But, maybe it can prevent somebody else from the same agony, the Ledfords said.

The Global Intelligence Files
On Monday February 27th, 2012, WikiLeaks began publishing The Global Intelligence Files, over five million e-mails from the Texas headquartered "global intelligence" company Stratfor. The e-mails date between July 2004 and late December 2011. They reveal the inner workings of a company that fronts as an intelligence publisher, but provides confidential intelligence services to large corporations, such as Bhopal's Dow Chemical Co., Lockheed Martin, Northrop Grumman, Raytheon and government agencies, including the US Department of Homeland Security, the US Marines and the US Defence Intelligence Agency. The emails show Stratfor's web of informers, pay-off structure, payment laundering techniques and psychological methods.

hands on it, which won't be anytime soon. I'm sure it is some hype, and
also suffers from the same problem as Clarke's book---lack of in-depth
expertise of how these infiltrations and attacks actuallyw ork.
The author also has an article here:
America the Vulnerable
America has become the fattest cyber attack target on the planet, writes
Joel Brenner in his disturbing new book.
By Mark Clayton / November 4, 2011
America the Vulnerable: Inside the New Threat Matrix of Digital Espionage,
Crime, and Warfare Penguin Press 308 pp.
0 and 0 E-mail Reddit StumbleUpon
Top-secret fighter jet designs filched by foreign cyber spies. Oil
companies' vital exploration data siphoned from corporate networks. A new,
highly potent form of malicious software that can wreck industrial
machinery like power generators.
Skip to next paragraph
Whether it's cyber spying, identity theft, or cyber sabotage, the drum
beat of computer threats has become standard fare in articles, books, and
movies. So much so, Americans can barely be bothered to peer up from their
iPhones (really hand-held mobile computers) to register shock or
astonishment at the latest travesty.
Thousands of stolen secret State Department documents dumped via Wikileaks
onto the internet? Google's source code in the hands of Chinese hackers?
Twenty terabytes of information a** enough to fill a line of moving vans
miles long if the data were on paper a** stolen by cyber spies from
Pentagon networks?
The top 10 books of all time
Just another day at the office. And yet we should be paying attention.
America has, in its rise to global internet-connected preeminence, become
the fattest cyber attack target on the planet with government and
corporate networks alike as porous as Swiss cheese to advanced attackers,
writes Joel Brenner in his disturbing new book American the Vulnerable:
Inside the New Threat Matrix of Digital Espionage, Crime and Warfare.
What he describes is a nation that has, unwittingly, created for itself a
digital "glass house" in which virtually all data belonging to
individuals, companies, and government can be gotten at one way or the
other a** by hook or crook, friend or foe.
"The United States cannot defend the electronic networks that control our
energy supply, keep aircraft from colliding in midair, clear financial
transactions, or make it possible for the president to communicate with
his cabinet secretaries," he writes. "We cannot permit this situation to
continue and remain in control of our destiny."
Brenner is not the first major voice to sound this warning. Richard
Clarke, former counter-terrorism director until 2003 under President Bush,
in his 2010 book "Cyber War," warned of a possible electronic sneak attack
on the US in which the power grid could be a prime target. He, too,
offered a good list of recommendations.
But Brenner's main service is to bring a much needed, recent insider
perspective to the cyber-threat debate. Serving as national
counterintelligence executive in the office of the National Intelligence
Director from 2006-2009, he spent the previous six years as inspector
general of the National Security Agency. He knows what he is talking
about. We should listen to him. Carefully.
"Operation Aurora didn't just hit Google," he reminds us of the hacker
attacks that stole the company's critical source code in late 2009 and
early 2010. "It was a coordinated attack on the intellectual property of
several thousand companies in the United States and Europe a** including
Morgan Stanley, Yahoo, Symantec, Adobe, Northrop Grumman, Dow Chemical and
many others. Intellectual property is the stuff that makes Google and
other firms tick."
So who did it? Brenner says "the operation was approved at high levels of
the government of the People's Republic of China" a** a member of the
Politburo Standing Committee, Li Changchun. How does he know? Ironically
enough, Li's role, detailed in secret State Department documents put onto
the web by Wikileaks, was then written up by The New York Times. During
his days in the intelligence office, Brenner was one of the most bluntly
outspoken US officials on the Chinese cyber threat. It is truly ironic
that his case is so strengthened by Wikileaks, a vulnerability he decries
in the book.
While government officials know something must be done, the US still seems
in slow motion, he writes. Even as numbers and sophistication of cyber
attacks grow rapidly, defense of the nation's intellectual property in
corporate systems, government networks a** and even US critical
infrastructure like financial, air traffic control, water, and power grid
systems a** is still far too feeble, he writes.
America the Vulnerable
America has become the fattest cyber attack target on the planet, writes
Joel Brenner in his disturbing new book.
(Page 2 of 2)
0 and 0 E-mail Reddit StumbleUpon
In a short, but infuriating, chapter called "Dancing in the Dark," Brenner
lays out how utilities have connected industrial control systems that
regulate the US power grid to the internet to make it marginally easier
and cheaper to operate. Unfortunately, that move has granted foreign
nations' hackers access to map those systems and position cyber weapons to
take down the grid in the event of hostilities.

"Most owners and operators don't want to believe it, even as the evidence
of their vulnerability mounts," he writes. "They'd rather dance in the
dark, figuratively a** and raise the risk that the rest of us will be
dancing in the dark, literally."
In another chapter called "June 2017," the author details a plausible
future scenario in which a Chinese premier blackmails a US president,
knocking out chunks of the North American power grid and threatening wider
outages. In the end, a US carrier group fails to come to Taiwan's aid. And
this is the real problem a** the US may not in the end be overtly wrecked
by its cyber vulnerabilities, but it may be weakened into inaction and the
status of a global follower, he writes.
"I'm not predicting this scenario, but it's well within the realm of
possibility. And we would be foolhardy not to prepare for it," he writes.
"With the exception of successful attacks on our electricity grid a** and
we know the grid is vulnerable a** virtually every aspect of this
fictional scenario has already happened."
How did we get here? The White House under President Bush began to awaken
and move on the cyber threat late in his tenure. President Obama in May
unveiled the nation's first new cyber strategy, still mostly on paper.
Congress, which could produce helpful legislation, has mostly spent its
time holding hearings. The Pentagon's new US Cyber Command has made
important steps, yet is still unable to protect privately held domestic
critical infrastructure like the power grid. The Department of Homeland
Security, scrambling, is trying to enlist NSA help to do that.
Thankfully, Brenner doesn't leave us adrift, offering up a chapter with
specific recommendations for a "modest but essential beginning" toward
"managing the mess" that US cyber insecurity has become. He also analyzes
in detail why inertia has taken hold in government and the private sector
exists, and how it could be overcome.
Brenner had both advantages and disadvantages in pulling together so much
information and organizing it in a way that paints a cohesive picture of
the problem a** and solutions. On the one hand, he had a terrific
insider's perch, yet he's not permitted by law to reveal classified
information. How to avoid jail? Like any good lawyer, he has gone to
public sources to document everything with information already in the
public domain.
All that research has left "America the Vulnerable" a refreshingly solid
piece of research anchored by nearly 40 pages of footnotes. Fortunately,
rather than resulting in a turgid prose, the documentation framed by
insider perspective and spiced with numerous case examples makes a
compelling, readable narrative.
One late chapter on how intelligence services are being impacted is the
lone exception to the book's readability, probably appealing mostly to
policy wonks or fellow intelligence professionals. Even so, this book a**
along with Clark's a** should be required reading on Capitol Hill and in
the West Wing.

1. No one knows exactly where, when or why April Fool's Day began.2. The most popular theory about the origin of April Fool's Day involves the French calendar reform of the sixteenth century. In 1564 France reformed its calendar, moving the start of the year from the end of March to January 1. The people who failed to keep up with the change, who stubbornly clung to the old calendar system and continued to celebrate the New Year during the week that fell between March 25th and April 1st, had jokes played on them. Pranksters would secretly stick paper fish to their backs. The victims of this prank were called Poisson d'Avril, or April Fish—which, to this day, remains the French term for April Fools.3. April Fool's Day fall on the first day of April.4. April Fool's Day was first known as "All Fool's Day."5. The earliest recorded association between April 1, pranks and foolishness can be found in Chaucer's Canterbury Tales which was written in 1392.6. April Fool's Day is a day when people play pranks on one another.7. In the United States, the pranks last all day, but in other countries they only take place until noon.8. A Joker, Court Jester, or Jokester have become the images associated with April Fool's Day.9. Some people spend a lot of money and time planning elaborate jokes.10. April Fool's Day is not an official holiday.

does anyone have a screen cap of mark wahlberg fake cock in the movie boggie night?
does anyone have a screen cap of mark wahlberg fake cock in the movie boggie night?
that thing looked so fake.
I cant even tell you how many times i've to the sight of him..that bod, hands, voice. shitt. i actually have a friend who dated him before the marky mark days. she said the day he got out of jail was the best fuck of her life. soo jealous.
He was so gangster with his briefs!
I have been in love with him ever since I was a young lad. WOW! He is so fucking beautiful... Thanks for sharing the pics...
So with a bod like that, does anybody know the real reason why Our Georgie dumped him for Matty?
Well I hear "prison pipe" is the best.
Me too!
Should have known I wasn't straight when I got hard just at the sight of him in those calvin klein commericals back in the early 90's.
looks like he's packin a thick one..what you think?
Mark was real cock teaser in those ads for CK! He could have been one great gay porn star with that body and cock.
I agree lalala00:
yeah , he was hot as hell when he was younger...I wacked off more than once lookin at marky pix...dude has to be bi..just has to be
I really like the "yeah... you feel it baby?" in "Good Vibrations", such a hot deep voice...(although not so much in the rest...oh well)
he used to be soooo hottt!!!
used to? i'd still bang him in a nano second!
yah, i'd do him anytime...
He is so hot. I have liked Mark.
yea he is hot
An will always be hot.
He is one of my all-time favorites. He has only ripened over the years.
i personally think that since he has gotton older he is much better looking. What surprised me about him is he is turning into a fine actor.
^^I agree 100%. He has definitely gotten better as he got older. He'a more professional now.
yup and even me, tavares, the meanie who hates pretty white boys (oh, please) loads to him back in my high school days.
Bad actor but one of the hottest men alive. Mmmmmm
he is really really hot !!!
The guy is a pretender and a scuzball. He has been in trouble before because of his comments against blacks, asians and gays (Marky Mark days). He became a "hip-hop" star because it was all part of the money making image his publicists needed in order to penetrate the deep pockets of suburban teenage girls. There were far better talents out there doing the exact same thing the only problem is that they couldn't be marketed to white girls.
When the money from the "music" dried up and he became yesterday's news lo and behold the transformation from Marky Mark to Mark Wahlberg the actor. Now he looks at his Marky Mark days with shame and contempt. I wonder if Marshall Mathers III (a.k.a. Eminem) is next. Wahlberg is just another reprehensible opportunist who has always been a whore to big money and cheap fame.
As far as his body goes... Not all bigots are toothless, old, fat guys... there are plenty of bigots and gay bashers out there with six-packs, hard asses and big dicks... if you go to prison just like that asshole Wahlberg did, you'd find plenty of those.
Damn...He was a kid that came from nothing that did the marky mark thing to pay the bills..he even admits it today, his brother got him through the door. He's grown up a lot, and is now a respectful actor.
and a note, he was never a gay basher..Madonna's publicist started all of that after he had words with her. Guy has a gay brother that he has taken care of throughout the years.
This is something I just don't understand: If you don't like the celebrity that the post is about, why open the thread at all?
Can't we all just get along?
Quis custodiet ipsos custodes?
I want it to be known that not every gay guy thinks with his dick and is a sucker for pecks and a six pack on an absolute jerk.Originally Posted by Gunnar
I forgot the name of the movie, but isn't there a movie he made where he just lets the boys come out on screen. I forgot the name, but I remember hearing about it, I believe on VH1 I Love the 80's.

OK - I admit it - I over his Calvin pics back in the Marky Mark days. Looking at him now tho, I wonder why. Well - we don't all age as gracefully as Ben Browder - LOL.
Not to ruffle any feathers, but am I the only one who thinks the passing of time has been kinder to bro Donnie? Recently caught him in Saw II, and thought he was lookin' quite nice.
He's still got the hot body, but he's definitely looking a little rough in the face lately.
I cant get enough of this man! i have to go whip out my copy of boogie nights!
i would bed him in a second
^^I'd have to agree. all night long
Not that this makes it any better but he did something to a Korean shop keeper...robbed him or something and made racial remarks...it wasn't against Blacks. He is loved and respected more than our other hometown boys Affleck and Damon around here, especially among blacks and latinos...Originally Posted by Oden_grey
He keeps it real...real hot.
His looks and personality are totally different things. I don't know his personality, but he still has one of the hottest bodies and faces I've ever seen. I like his younger pics, but that's probably just b/c he's more my age in those. Great pics here too.
Is Mark Walberg related to Donnie Walberg (New Kids on the Block)?
I saw the "Right Combination" music clip in youtube and he and mark does look a like.
The best underwear ad campaign to date. It still makes me hard as a rock!
Yes. They're brothers.Originally Posted by JumboJimmy
And I loved Marky Mark in "I Heart Huckabees."
theirs pics of him in underwear were u can see the outline of his real cock
Is he hung???
i think hes slightly above average but nothing to really brag about. ive only seen it in his underwear flaccid though, and i dont really think penis size can be judged by a flaccid cock they just change size to much when flaccid to judge
There used to be zillions of Mark Wahlberg nudes. So many that a lot o' people got tired of 'em. Real nudes. Nothin' fake. I might have one left. There might be some fans of his more devoted than myself.
Hung? He has a very good looking dick. Nothin' humungous.
i saw a bunch of pics a long time ago, but they were all fake, are u sure urs were real?
i think a lot of people just believed they were real because of the almost naked pics he always had of him
Where does one find these almost naked pics??

It started a few years back, and now I'm emotionally attached to using them: emoticons – especially the smiley/frowning/winking ones – in business communications. To me, they're like a visual alternative to the exclamation mark, underscoring a point, a feeling, an excuse, bad news, an apology.
So when PR Daily ran a piece this week called Does the Smiley Face Have a Place in the PR Workplace?, it caught my attention. The article, by Arik Hanson, notes that it was only recently that emoticons were reserved for online chats or text messages, but they soon started showing up in Tweets and Facebook posts by businesses. Now, they're a staple in many business emails.
Mr. Hanson takes an "it depends" approach on their use. If writing to the CEO of a key client, an emoticon is unacceptable. If it's to a client you've known for years, one who's also a friend and the note is more lighthearted in nature, then yes, it's perfectly ok.
"I probably err on the side of being extra chummy with many of my business contacts," Mr. Hanson admits. "In some cases, people might say I lack professionalism. But I would say I'm building relationships." He adds, "As a consultant, I know clients want to work with people they like. It's hard to do that if people see me as a robot who's incapable of having fun or showing personality. So I see the smiley face as a way to lighten up business conversations from time to time."
I surveyed my Facebook friends on the matter. Most felt emoticons had no place in business communications.
"Business emails should be precise. Avoid emoticons and abbreviations," wrote Terri Lee Ryan, Claudette Roper and Jonathan Lehrer. Elaine Soloway agreed, adding, "And I don't like any of those abbreviations like LOL." Hedy Ratner was more direct: "I hate the little icons for business communication. Childish. Not serious."
The exception was social media expert Mana Ionescu, who responded: "I think the smiley emoticon is ok in moderation – when it's important to get across a friendly tone, in customer service emails or when in doubt about how a message would be interpreted. However, I would only use LOL sparingly, if at all."
So I'm going to commit "emoticon-ocide," starting today. I will not haphazardly use emoticons or abbreviations in business communications again. Nor will I substitute them with an exclamation mark. There's one exception. Tony, I'm not quitting "GTG."
What do you think? Doemoticons and abbreviations ever have a place in workplace communications?

Making a decision to sell your home is always a bittersweet experience. It's the place where you have created memories, planted roots and decorated in your own special way. So when is the right time to sell your home? I tend to stay in a home for 10 years before I get the urge to make a change. I can't explain why this is the case, but as my life changes, so does my desire to move to a new location.
I just listed my apartment with a broker after being in it since 2002. This time, I was perfectly comfortable living here until I had an incident that required new floors. Having to move out for six weeks, I decided to do a full rehab and while it was like new, sell it. As the last Deco style nickel door knobs have been placed on my new doors, I feel a bit remorseful, as it looks beautiful. I should have rehabbed it years ago.
Yet, I know the time to sell is now. According to my broker, Leslie Ann Bodell, Prudential Rubloff, the housing market is greatly improving, with inventory down 40 percent from last year. Housing inventory is tight. There are more buyers looking to purchase a house and much less choices for them. Sales prices are also up 20 percent from the lows of the past few years. Buyers are also looking for homes that are already updated, rather than dealing with fixer uppers, where they have to live on a construction site.
It is time for me sell while my home is looking so good.
Pictures of my new walnut floor, black slate, new doors and nickel hardware are being taken for the listing. It will soon be in the MLS and strangers will be viewing my private life. Our home that has given us much happiness will soon belong to someone else. It will need to be cleaned every day rather than once every two weeks to make sure it is ready for the showings. It is tough to keep a home looking perfect. No shoes, just slippers and a daily mopping will keep it clean.
As this process begins, we look toward our new adventure. I don't know where we are going to live, but in my heart, I know it is the right business decision. Our house has never looked better and there are buyers looking for a great home at a good value. My advice in this current real estate market is to put a little money into your home to get it in a 'move in' condition and to find a good broker who loves and understands how to sell your home.
It was in this home where I watched my now deceased cat, Patti, jump from the table to the sofa and where I cared for her before she died. She loved crawling under the Christmas tree. It is where my Yorkie puppy, Charley, played and grew up. My husband and I have grown closer here over the past 11 years. We have watched people we loved pass away and our careers change.
Selling your home is more about the memories than the home itself. We will always remember the time spent here. It is time for another family to create their own memories. Letting go of your beautiful home is an act of love.

Amid All This Chaos
December 3, 2009 by TMO
By Beena Inam, Muslim Media News Service (MMNS) Pakistan Correspondent, from Islamabad
Lions' Chairman Zafar Iqbal, with his wife Shazia Zafar and their daughter, in Islamabad. |
In the midst of all the pandemonium, there are a number of people and organizations who are beyond doubt serving the humanity and making a difference.
Whether it is toward the vision disability, education, health and dowry, Lions Clubs International (LCI) is there for all and sundry and so is its Multiple Council Chairman, Zafar Iqbal.
Their 45,000 clubs and more than 1.3 million members make Lions Clubs the world's largest service club organization.
According to their web site, LCI, founded in Chicago in 1917, has grown into a worldwide organization, helping where help is needed for nearly 100 years. There motto is "We Serve."
Melvin Jones, Chicago business leader, founded the Club and built its foundation. Since1925, conventions are held every year. Helen Keller, political activist who was also deaf and blind, participated in 1925 convention and about 14,000 Lions attended the convention from everywhere around the world.
Due to Keller's challenge the club today is among some of the highest rank organizations. She challenged, "knights of the blind in the crusade against darkness."
The organization is preeminently notorious for combating blindness.
"From that day till today lions are working for the blinds," Iqbal said.
In Pakistan, LCI began burgeoning in 1956. Cyrus F. Minwalla, owner of Hotel Metropole, was a Founder, and First District Governor of LIC known as Father of Lionism in Pakistan and President Iskander Mirza as Patron of Lionism in Pakistan.
Now, Iqbal monitors the whole affairs of LCI in Pakistan and coordinates all five districts, three in south and two in north which breaks down into 478 clubs. Each district has minimum 35 clubs. Although all the clubs are autonomous in their policies, their focus, endeavor and purpose is identical.
"I am a country head of this institution in Pakistan," Iqbal said. He visits all clubs and governors as a MCC and meets head of the state and head of the provinces.
Every district has its own governor but their jurisdiction and authority is restricted to their clubs, "my responsibility is along with the governor to see after the district," Iqbal said.
Around the world, LCI consist of 22 boards of directors, who run the club. No women became a board of director until 1998 when Nilofar Bakhtiar, a public official in Pakistan, became the first lady international director in their board, Iqbal said. It is an immense acclaim for Pakistan.
In Karachi, LCI have 3800 underprivileged children in 22 schools in diminutive areas. Iqbal said they work from zakat fund.
They perform 25,000 cataract surgeries every year. Two years ago, when he was the sector coordinator of campaign SightFirst from 2005 to 2008, they campaigned world wide for blind people and helped raised two hundred and twenty two million dollars all over the world, Iqbal said.
"More than four million people will be cured for blindness. About 17,000 people everyday becomes blind. Every five seconds one person is getting blind. According to World Health Organization (WHO) if we didn't do anything by 2020 this figure will be doubled. We have to join hands with them," Iqbal said.
They begin from screening and going to schools and visiting undersized areas. They set eye camps; treat people who require surgical treatment for cataract, trachoma, river blindness, childhood blindness and glaucoma.
"We do lot of work but the main focus is toward the welfare for blind people," Iqbal said.
He added, "White cane stick that blind people use is because of the lions' invention. We celebrate blinds day on Oct 14. White cane safety day is because of our struggle that it was passed in American Congress. Through United Nation's recognition it is celebrated all round the world."
At present, Lions club is functioning in 205 countries. "We are bigger than united nations,"Iqbal said.
He said they have so great collaboration with United Nations that every second Monday of March, United Nations whole building is vacant for lions club and lions can go anywhere in the building. He further said they can even hold a conference in secretary general's room.
"It's a tribute or compliment from United Nations to the lions club," Iqbal said.
In 2007, Lions Clubs got an inimitable award that Lions Club International is the world largest service project association.
Every club has a project. They dispose eye camps, food and youth camps.
Iqbal said, "Our club is small. But even we try to do one or two projects. Active members in our group are seven but total there are 20 people in our group…. Some clubs even have 10 to 20 projects running."
For becoming a lion that is the member of the LCI is by invitation only.
"Attend our meetings so we can see that your thinking isn't coming in our way. One must be service minded, should have a concept of charity and be loyal to the country. If a person believes in charity but is not loyal to the country than he can't be a member of our club," Iqbal said.

When news leaked in December that Major League Baseball was investigating a positive test result showing elevated levels of testosterone in their seemingly clean National League MVP it was a shock to all fans and a punch in the gut to the rising star. This week, baseball arbitrators made a historic decision by clearing Braun's name and lifting the 50-game ban levied upon him.
While the Milwaukee Brewers outfielder can now proceed with his career, his reputation is still somewhat tainted by the allegations. However, the scenario could have been much worse if Braun hadn't been prepared. Spending three months awaiting the decision, Braun took some important steps to avoid tainting his image further, which can be useful to others caught in the middle of a personal brand controversy.
1. Stick to your story, but don't say too much.
Braun never wavered from his innocent plea and stuck to his mandated position not to comment on the details of the case. This worked in his favor as it helped the public avoid rushing to judgment. If news breaks that attacks your personal brand, consider the 'no comment' approach until you have thought through the impact of your words. When you do make a statement, take time to craft it to sound firm, confident and humble. Stay out of the spotlight and don't stir things up until you have all evidence to prove your position; basic PR101 on this one.
2. Rally support.
Braun benefited from the backing of his organization, his past reputation as a positive member of his community and a few famous friends. It doesn't hurt having NFL MVP Aaron Rodgers in your corner. If you find yourself in the cross-hairs, be sure to call upon your best assets to back you up and help validate your position of honest character. Aligning yourself with well-respected people makes you appear to share equal values.
3. Do not attack the opposition.
Braun declared that there were unique circumstances around his testing scenario. He also called the result of his test, 'BS', but he never directly bad-mouthed MLB: likely a good plan considering the organization is his employer and helps ensure he'll receive the $140 million+ he's owed over his career. Getting angry or defensive makes you look guilty even if you aren't. Having a clean, calculated and evidence driven defense through more formal channels is a far better approach than lashing out in fear of what a false accusation can do to your personal brand.
4. Be grateful.
Thank your supporters. Thank those that are not rushing to ostracize you. Thank the press for respecting your privacy. If your name is finally cleared- thank everyone!
5. Keep it Positive
Braun received plenty of media backlash when the news broke. Although this image terrorizing will likely continue amongst those that feel Braun got away with cheating, the court of justice has spoken in his favor. What Braun did right was his avoidance of engaging with negative voices. Whether it is a Tweet, blog post, article or message board comment there is likely more damage to be done by trying to fight back against 'trolls' who get their kicks tarnishing reputations of others. To recognize their opinion validates their voice. Do not provide your enemies with the fuel to keep the controversy burning. Focus on the positive.
Ryan Braun arrived at Spring Training today with a fresh start. He faced the darkest scenario an athlete can and prevailed. Braun has worked his entire life to build a reputation of strong, moral and generous character. He has made ample proclamations about his respect for his profession and disgust of cheaters. By standing for something in advance, he was able to bring the public on his side. By following the steps above, he was able to keep them there until his name was cleared.

Pure Silk Mock-Neck Sweater
Soft and silky sweater
My husband has been looking for a quality mock turtle neck that fit around his neck without being too loose or too tight. He is about 5' 5" tall and the sleeves are long without excessive scrunching at the wrist. I gave him one for Christmas and he like it so much, we ordered a second color.

Very Versatile
I bought these in several colors for my husband. They are great alone or under sweaters. They are soft and comfortable to wear. I think the black one with black slacks is dressy enough for most occasions. They pack well without wrinkling and will be great for travel. Best of all, my husband likes them.

Beautiful but...
Purchased for my husband, it fits extremely well and the color (pepper) is gorgeous. However, it showed up with two very odd stains on the folds so I am returning for exchange.

Nice fabric
Exactly what I wanted for wear under a blazer, but just a bit smaller cut than expected

Loved these turtlenecks
Gave these turtleneck sweaters to my sons, one is typically hard to please. Both loved them. They looked great on. I'm planning on buying more.

This is very light and so comfortable. Perfect under a coat or vest.

Great travel sweaters
We purchased this sweater in four different colors. My husband was happy with the fit. Sad part is that Travel Smith chose to reduce the price, since we purchased them..
