Become a member of the JACL
Every day, the JACL provides leadership on a national scale that affects the lives of Japanese Americans and all Americans. Now is an important time for you to join the JACL to support the work that protects and promotes the Japanese American community throughout the United States.
If you wish to become a member, you can renew online by clicking here or please download and complete the Membership Application form and send it to JACL National Headquarters along with your membership payment to:
JACL Membership Department
c/o JACL National Headquarters
1765 Sutter Street, San Francisco, CA 94115
Our web membership management system is currently under construction
If you have any questions or would like infomation about joining JACL, membership benefits or services, please contact the JACL membership coordinator.
Phone - 415.921.5225 ext. 25 or E-mail - firstname.lastname@example.com
The original purpose of the JACL was to promote the interests and welfare of the Japanese American community. The scope of that mission has broadened to include the entire Asian American community. The National Headquarters in San Francisco together with regional offices in Los Angeles, Seattle, Chicago, and a legislative office in Washington, D.C., works on a continual basis to build a foundation of opportunity and equality for the Asian Pacific American community.
With its long history of successful civil rights advocacy, the JACL has been able to build a strong network of public officials and other like-minded organizations. The JACL has recognized the importance of working in coalition with other groups in order to promote the interests of all Americans, and has thus concerted their efforts with organizations such as the Organization of Chinese Americans, NCAPA, APIA Vote, and The NAACP, among others.
The JACL responds to defamation and hate crime incidents wherever they occur. We confront the use of racial slurs in the media or wherever else defamation occurs. Our staff and volunteers often work with law enforcement to ensure the thorough investigation of hate crimes and hate incidents.
The JACL monitors and advocates for or against legislation in Washington, D.C. that affect civil rights and the well-being of our community.
The JACL promotes teaching of the Japanese American historical experience, including the World War II internment in school classrooms. We accomplish this by producing educational materials, presenting teacher-training workshops and participating in educational conferences attended by teachers throughout the country.
Leadership Development
The JACL provides programs that develop and train future leaders who will act for positive social change for the Asian American community. We encourage young people to participate in our Internship and Fellowship programs. We sponsor the annual JACL/OCA Washington, DC Leadership Conference where participants establish valuable relationships while learning about the issues that affect their community. We present workshops on college campuses that teach leadership skills, cultural identity and campus organizing.
Cultural and Historic Preservation
The JACL believes it is important to preserve the unique history of Japanese Americans. We accomplish this by initiating and supporting legislation such as the Internment Camp Preservation bill. The JACL supports local efforts to preserve the remaining "Japantowns," which were the cradles of our community. The JACL promotes the culture and arts of our community through the many projects and events that are organized and supported by our national network of chapters.
1930s – We advocated amending the Cable Act to restore American citizenship to American women of Japanese ancestry married to Japanese nationals; helped push through the Nye-Lea Bill, which provided citizenship for U.S. Army veterans of Asian ancestry.
1940s – We played a key role in establishing the 100th/442nd Regimental Combat Team; successfully advocated the defeat of alien land laws in California, Colorado and Utah; initiated the first attempt to seek remedies for the internment by supporting the Evacuations Claims Act.
1950s – We played a key role in supporting passage of the Walter-McCarran Act that gave our Issei the ability to finally become U.S. citizens; joined in an amicus brief with other civil rights organizations in the landmark Supreme Court case of Brown v. Board of Education, which ruled that separate educational facilities are "inherently unequal."
1960s – We advocated for an amendment to the 1965 Immigration Act repealing racial immigration quotas, allowing for substantial immigration from Asian countries; participated in the March on Washington with Martin Luther King, Jr. and led the effort against federal anti-miscegenation laws and for major civil rights laws to ensure the rights of all Americans.
1970s – We launched the national Redress campaign to seek remedies for the injustice of the internment; led the successful effort to repeal Title II of the Emergency Detention Act and supported a national effort to gain a Presidential pardon for Iva Toguri for the injustice of her conviction as the mythical "Tokyo Rose."
1980s – We initiated and advocated for passage of legislation establishing the Commission on Wartime Relocation and Internment of Civilians that investigated the facts and circumstances surrounding the internment; devoted substantial resources and effort in gaining passage of the Civil Liberties Act of 1988, which embodied the recommendations of the Commission in providing an apology and monetary compensation to nearly 80,000 Japanese Americans.
1990s – We continued advocating for civil rights by addressing legislative efforts to deter hate crimes and discrimination against Asian Americans and others victimized by racism and other forms of intolerance; approved a resolution in support of ending discrimination against gays and lesbians in the military and all other such employment discrimination; successfully opposed California Assembly Resolution 181 which would have required public schools to teach that there was some justification for the internment of Japanese Americans.
2000s – We joined with other APA organizations in an amicus brief supporting the University of Michigan affirmative action program; joined in an amicus brief in Donald Rumsfeld v. Jose Padilla, challenging provisions of the USA Patriot Act; initiated and supported passage of HR 1492, authorizing $38 million for the preservation of internment camps as historic sites; released new curriculum guide, The Journey from Gold Mountain: The Asian American Experience.

found a new home!
Plenty of my friends are looking
for one too. Find a pet to adopt.
Find a pet to adopt |
My name is Anubis!
Facts about Anubis
- Breed: Basenji
- Color: Red/Golden/Orange/Chestnut - With White
- Age: Adult
- Size: Small 25 lbs (11 kg) or less
- Sex: Male
Anubis's Info...
I am already neutered, housetrained, purebred, in need of an experienced adopter, up to date with shots, not good with kids, and good with dogs.
Introducing Anubis - a 5 year old human and dog friendly boy who can be handled all over. Anubis is very active and playful, but seems to have learned to play very inappropriately with his mouth in a previous life, particularly with males. Because of this, he would be best in an adult-only forever home, though he might also be fine with very mature older teenagers. He is improving, but he will nee...d his new family to be very consistent with redirecting and calming him. He appears to be quite trainable given how well he focuses on his humans. Anubis clearly enjoys companionship and would be best with someone human or dog to be with him regularly. He has lived with a larger non-basenji. Any canine companions should not take poking or noise personally, since Anubis will insist on play and will shriek like a little girl if his skin gets a little pinched or pulled (even though he is not taking it personally). Anubis is in the Tampa Bay area. His adoption fee is $200.
Other Pets at Camp Basenji
Why Adoption is a Great Option
Anubis, a Seminole Basenji dog was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Basenji for sale in Seminole, or seeking a Basenji dog from a breeder in Seminole.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in Seminole already know the personality and tendencies of their pets. This means they can match you with the right pet. That will makes it much easier transition to owning a pet for yourself and your new pet.
- On average adoption fees are much less than you'd pay a Seminole breeder, or pet store. Plus most often rescue pets have already been to the veterinarian for a check-up, had a round of vaccinations, and are spayed or neutered. That is a lot of savings!
- You will become a hero, and give a needy dog or cat a loving home. In fact, there are even Basenji breeders who help with Basenji rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in Seminole paves the way for another one to be saved.

no packaging!!! comes inside a little recycled paper bag- very eco friendly indeed
let's talk about the product....it's all natural. it smells a bit like vanilla. i use it when i want to pamper myself, it's very glittery and iridescent and i don't think it looks childlike i think it looks prettttty.
i love it!
I really like the smell of this product. It's amazing. I want it bottled so I can wear it as a perfume. However, this massage bar is heavy on the glitter. And when I say heavy, I mean HEAVY. I love glitter. I wear it on my face all the time. But this bar has big blue glitter that stick to absolutely everything and are hard to get off. Don't buy this if you are afraid of going to work or school with blue glitter allover your face. The scent and moisturizing properties of this bar are great. The oils in it soak into your skin and you can definately tell a difference. However, it a but of a hassle putting it on because all the glitter makes it a bit scratchy. The solid lotion encasing the glitter is quite smoothe though, and started melting as soon as it hits your skin. I had my boyfriend rub this allover my back one night, and although he didn't use it on himself at all and he washed his hands right after, he had blue glitter on his face for over a week. I had to wash my sheets due to the glitter. Too much glitter!!! They should have put a slight blue shimmer or something in it instead...
1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
i love the smell of this!!! very crisp and clean. the iridescent glitter is a huge plus for me. i love the color (blue/purple), it's one of my faves. for me, the glitter does rub off easily and the scent itself doesnt last too long. i usually let it sit on my skin for a few seconds before rubbing it in, otherwise it does seem scratchy on my skin. i can see this lasting very long, consider it's almost impossible to use too much product. the name is cute and the price is reasonable.
This smells absolutely fabulous, kind of like vanilla and champagne, weird combination I know, but yummy none the less.
But this is not for the shy, this is highly glittered to the point that some would feel that it is obnoxious. I'm a makeup artist, so when doing things for customers or even myself its fun to use this for parties. This would be good for those hardcore twi-fans and wannabe vampires.
This type of glitter will make you shine whenever the light hits upon you. I do not suggest to use this on your face, or near your face because the bluish-purple glitter being quite chunky. Getting this in your eye could be quite painful, so I would keep this to arms and chest. I will warn you though this glitter lasts long after the next shower, and can transfer to the clothes you put on next, so be wary of that. If you do not have a problem with that, this is absolutely great, but not an everyday thing.

More reviews by Fairypants1986
LOVE LOVE LOVE THIS! The smell is gorgeous, like fruity champagne! I use this after a long bath when getting ready for a big night out and it leaves me moisturised, smelling amazing and glittering like a disco fairy!
My only complaint is it dries out fast- so keep your bug in an airtight tin!
Much sparklier than I anticipated, which was a funny surprise! At first you can't see all the sparkles, but start to move in the light and bam they're everywhere! Personally, I didn't have them shed all over my house, which was handy, but they were definitely a lot of them. Really sweet smell and nice and soft, but don't buy as a massage bar unless you are keen for a lot of shimmer and shine!
This is my #1 favorite product from LUSH. It smells so divine. I wish this was actually a perfume. This really works as a bath melt or just on the skin, but it looks amazing on my legs for going out at night. It's light irridescent glitter, not super bright so against pale skin, you won't even notice until some sort of light hits you. When I've applied it over self tanner, it gave that pretty shimmy effect. I honestly love it mainly for the scent though, it's so subtle & sweet smelling. If you're a glitter fan, you definitely need this.
I dont really smell anything in these...and I hate the glitter. But they are great for the hair, eyes, and lips too....very festive!!
Let me start by saying this: I LOVE the Glitterbug. The iridescent purple-blue sparkles that mesmerize me for minutes at a time are completely inappropriate for school or work (and thus, I rarely use it) but I love it all the same. I adore the scent. BUUUUUT the last time I used it was in April... and now it's almost December and I'm STILL picking bits of the distinctive glitter off of my boyfriend every two weeks or so (even though he never used it on himself). If I wasn't so amused by its longevity (and irrationally infatuated with it in general), I'd be thoroughly annoyed.

2 Hard Core Princesses take on the World: AKA my hips are so sore!!!! UPDATE 20/3.
Hi there and thank you for reading our little trip report. Let me introduce you to us: DD:My funny, cuddly, cute and quirky 16 year old princess. She's all about Disney, Dr. Who, Harry Potter and Star Wars: my only daughter and my baby girl, who turned 16 in January. We had originally planned on a Disney Cruise with DH and some other loved ones, but DH had an opportunity to go golfing with his buddies in January and DD reminded me that I told her we could go back to the World for her sweet sixteen. Hey, you don't have to twist MY arm! Me: generally organized, mature and self-employed health professional who turns into a giggly 5 year old the second I pass under that beautiful WDW archway! Mum to 2: my DS who will turn 22 this March, is in university and is basically non-Disney and a bit of a homebody. Makes for an easy, non-guilty farewell! We've been to Disney as honeymooners, with my parents twice when my babies were younger: DDs first trip when she was only 8 months old! We took another trip when the kids were 10 and 16 and then DS decided that was enough for him. We went back to the world with DD once as VoluntEARS in 2010 after a cruise and have stayed on property before and after visiting family in FLA 2009 and our 2011 DIScruise vacation. My tally is 10 times at the world: my first, when I was ten years old and was first introduced to my darling Mickey. Basically, we cannot resist that MOUSE! We had originally planned our vacation at the AoA resort, in a mermaid room, as Ariel is a favourite and quite frankly, the rooms looked adorable! Who wouldn't want to shower in Ariel's treasure trove?! I mean, REALLY? When I learned about Play/Stay/Dine, I called and knew Id have to switch resorts. If DH had joined us, we would have opted for Port Orleans Riverside and taken the regular DDP. DH likes to sit down for table service once a day. He would say hes more dignified that way, but I will say, hes not a hard-core as we are! I knew we would enjoy being close to the new resort and eating at the Landscape of Flavours, where there would be a lot of veggie options for DD. I chose a standard room at POP, hoping for a room in the 60s section, facing the lake, close to the bridge. The change in our package was less than $60 and gave us QSDP for 6 days. DD doesn't like being limited to TS every day and quite frankly I feel that it takes away a lot of park time(remember: we're hard core!) Since, I read the DISboards, I knew I could make good choices and find great veggie options in QS restaurants. As well, we looked forward to spending time at a resort which we had made wonderful memories twice before. Stay tuned to fast forward to Feb 12 and our travel day in the next post.

As a result the most up-to-date US crime statistics have just been released for 2008. If you don't realize or believe that crime is a major [...]

Quoted from Valerie Hi everyone, my name is Valerie and I am just starting the BTD today(6-23-07)
Quoted Text I just read the first book. I have read some articles on here. I am so excited! Who would of thought your blood type had anything to do with how your body reacts to food, how you feel and how you lose weight? That is amazing. This is a true eye opener for me. I am an O. I just turned 40. I am 5"4", 255lbs. I weigh more now than I have ever weighed in my life. I have tried to lose weight for years. Nothing has worked. I ache and hurt everywhere. I have migraine headaches. I have low blood sugar spells pretty regularly. I sleep every minute I can because I am exhauseted. I have no energy. I cry for no reason. My hands and arms fall a sleep during the day and especially when I sleep. I went to the doctor last year and had a complete physical. My cholestrol is 264 but that is all they found wrong. They said I was depressed and put me on antidepressants and wanted to put me on cholestrol medicine. I said no to the cholestrol medicine. I went off of the Lexapro after a few months and went to counseling for 6 months. I have spent a lot of money and I feel exactly the same. I am so excited about the BTD! It gives me great hope!
Quoted from Valerie I am very shocked about the no wheat, since everywhere you look and hear, they say how good it is for you.
Quoted from Valerie Thanks for all the great ideas to help with the headaches and food withdrawls. I am struggling and this is really hard to change my old ways of eating and living. Thank-You Peppermint Twist for your insight on the hidden corn, wheat and sugar. I never read labels before.
Quoted from Valerie Thank-You to all who have giving me other helpful websights and their testimonials to read. Thanks!!! for all the ideas to help. I have never belonged to a forum and this is awsome.
Quoted from Valerie I read that a type O should not drink lemon water with chorophyll. I bought Kyo-Green. Is Barley and wheat grass alfalfa? Should I avoid this product, since I am an O?
Quoted from BTD FAQ - What about "wheatgrass"?http://www.dadamo.com/faq/smartfaq.cgi?answer=988882645&id=988813483 The sprouting of wheat into wheat grass destroys the lectin that is problematic in wheat. Sprouting also beneficially changes the nutrient profile of this grain, resulting in a nutrient-dense, enzyme-rich superfood. Because of these factors, I consider wheat grass to be an excellent addition to the diet for all blood types. As far as an amount, use your own judgement. Because of the concentrated nature of this food, a little goes a long way, so if you have not enjoyed wheat grass juice before, start with a smaller amount.

The question: When it comes to Scout Gathering, can they do it in the outskirts of the city?
My guess is "no," though it's not specified in the rule book. The closest it comes to the answer in on page 26: The player declares which of their cities the scout is "sending" the square to during the Start of Turn Phase, and all of the icons in that square (including trade, production, culture, coins, and resources) are then considered to be in that city's outskirts for the rest of the turn.
I'm thinking that you can't double down on a resourse square either with 2 scouts. But I could be wrong.
Please, someone help me.
Thank you.

text: It's been a hot minute since we've had anything from Monsta, but we're happy with what we've got now. "Tudo Se Foi/Gone" as you can guess is a moombah flavored cut. The new freebie cut comes with a video following the trio around their UK travels as well as some mental footage of their live shows. The track has a moombahcore edge, but still squarely fits under the moombahton umbrella, rather than just some 110 BPM type of jam. The track has none of Skaar's signature vocals, but it's this video that really has us paying attention.

Anise oil is also obtained from the fruit of the Chinese star anise (Illicium verum), an unrelated, slow-growing evergreen tree native to SE China and NE Vietnam that can reach 60 ft (18 m) in height. The unripe, anise-flavored, star-shaped fruit of the tree is used whole or ground in Asian cooking as spice and in traditional Asian medicine. A compound extracted from the fruit is used to make the anti-influenza drug oseltamivir (Tamiflu).
Anise is classified in the division Magnoliophyta, class Magnoliopsida, order Apiales, family Umbelliferae. Star anise is classified in the class Magnoliopsida, order Illiciales, family Illiciaceae.
Annual herb (Pimpinella anisum) of the parsley family, cultivated chiefly for its fruit, called aniseed, which tastes like licorice. Native to Egypt and the eastern Mediterranean region, anise is cultivated throughout the world. Aniseed is used as a flavouring and as a soothing herbal tea. Star anise is the dried fruit of the evergreen tree Illicium verum (magnolia family), native to southeastern China and Vietnam. Its flavour and uses are similar to those of anise.

Anise or Aniseed, less commonly anís (stressed on the second syllable) (Pimpinella anisum), is a flowering plant in the family Apiaceae, native to the eastern Mediterranean region and southwest Asia. It is an herbaceous annual plant growing to 3 ft (1 m) tall. The leaves at the base of the plant are simple, 0.5 in - 2 in (2 - 5 cm) long and shallowly lobed, while leaves higher on the stems are feathery pinnate, divided into numerous leafs. The flowers are white, approximately 3 mm diameter, produced in dense umbels. The fruit is an oblong dry schizocarp, 3 - 5 mm long. It is these seedpods that are referred to as aniseed rather than what the name suggests.
Pimpinella species are used as food by the larvae of some Lepidoptera species (butterflies and moths), including the lime-speck mug and wormwood mug.
Best growth is in light, fertile, well drained soil. Start plants from seeds as soon as the ground warms up in spring. Because plants have a tap root they do not transplant well after established, so start them where they are to grow, or transplant while seedlings are still small.
Containing liquorice-like components anise is sweet and very aromatic. It is used to make the following confectioneries: Aniseed balls (Britain), Humbugs (Australia), Aniseed wheels (New Zealand), pizzelles (Italy), pfeffernusse (Germany), and knotts (Norway). Aniseed is also used to make the Mexican drink "atole de anís" or champurrado which is similar to hot chocolate, the Turkish drink Raki (alcoholic beverage),the Greek Ouzo, the Italian Sambuca, the spirit absinthe, the favourite for Arabic Arak, some root beer such as Virgil's Root Beer in the United States and as a digestive after meals in India. It also is used to make the dough, when preparing the famous Peruvian dessert "Picarones." In Colombia, it is also used to add to the national drink aguardiente, in which, depending on the region, more or less anise gives the typical drink its distinctive flavor.
Anise can be made into a liquid scent and is used for both hunting and fishing. Anise smells similar to liquorice and is put on fishing lures to attract fish. Anethole, the principal component of anise oil, is a precursor that can eventually produce 2,5-dimethoxybenzaldehyde which is used in the clandestine synthesis of psychedelic drugs such as 2C-B, 2C-I and DOB. Anise is also the main flavor of absinthe as well as being used as a flavoring for pastis, ouzo, pernod, sambuca, rakı, Becherovka, anice tutone, Chartreuse and other liqueurs. Anise has a particular effect on some dogs that parallels the effect of catnip on house cats. Some cats as well seem attracted to anise. Anise is perfectly safe for cats and dogs alike to ingest.

I am having some second thoughts after placing a deposit on a Harman Oakwood yesterday. While I did like the unit better it is 300 dollars more then the Jotul. The thing that made me second guess my decision was that the Harman is rated at 42,000 BTU's while the Jotul is rated at 70,000 BTU's. Can this be true for two similar units or is the Jotul's numbers inflated? Can anyone comment on the build quality of the two. I know Harman is established, but obviously not as well recognized as the Jotul and is new to the cast iron wood stove market. My local dealer recommended the Harman, but am surprised they did not mention the BTU difference. I have a modern colonial about 3000 sq. ft. Thanks for your input. |
Follow-Up Postings:
you should buy the stove that will heat the area. 3000 sq ft is double the size of my house. my stove puts out about 42-48k btu, i forget, it is a vc defiant encore. i'd question the ability to heat the whole house with the harmon. now if you are just heating say 1/2 the house then it seems like the correct size. a stove that heats a house that is 1/2 or twice the size that you intend to use it for will be a problem. the former will leave you cold the latter will broil you! tom |
Sorry, while it will primarily heat the downstairs half of the home, we found it helps by elevating the upstairs 5-10 degrees as well. We use it more to supplement our homes heat which is 4 zones so pretty economical. I primarily wonder if Jotul's claims are true and how the Oakwood stacks up against it. |
Jotul's claim are true based on my experience with the stove. (A family member installed a smaller version and it worked very well. I don't know Harmon, but Jotul has a good burn, long holding heat, and good size ash pan.) But only install for the size of space you are trying to heat, otherwise you will not get the most efficient burn and will have creosote problems. This applies to any wood stove. |
Are there any Oakwood owners here that like or dislike their unit? |
I have the Harman Accentra and heat about 3000 sq ft. It is the primary heat source and keeps the area around 71 degrees on the coldest days, low teens. BUT, we have a open floor plan and newer construction with plenty of insulation. I would assume the Jotul unit would burn considerably more fuel to aquire the BTU rating. I run through 80 pounds a day burning full tilt. Not familiar with the other unit but can't say enough good things about Harman. Good luck |
This discussion is about comparing two different wood stoves, not pellet stoves as the Accentra is. |
Anyone have experience with the Harmon oakwood? I am considering it vs the jotul oslo. The top load seems useful, but I am leary of the secondary combustion and its stated output of 42k btu is dramatically lower than the jotul at 70k?? |
Well if your final decision is between a Jotul 500 and a Harman Oakwood . you can't make a bad choice. As for Harman being a new company "new", is any company being in business less that 28 years? Jotul inflates the Buts Lets face it xx amount of BTUs are derived from fire wood 2 cu Ft of fire wood produces the same amount of BTUs Now a stove's efficiency will capture more Btus than a lesser efficient stove. Since the Harman Oawood emits 2 x less particulate matter one can rightfully assume that it is burning up more and producing more heat. The Oakwood is one of the cleanest stoves ever tested by The Epa A better measure for comparisons is the actual firebox size X capacity holds x amount of wood and will b produce x amount of BTUS. For some reason Jotul does not specify fire box size. But others on my forum Hearthtalk.com have measured theirs and it is about the same size as the Harman Oakwood and Vermont Casting Encore a a little less that 2.5 cu ft. In order for the jotul to obtain 70,000 it must be constantly loaded and fired hard to the point of overfiring the stove The Harman estimates are closer to real world conditions and expectations not inflated. This might be a factor to consider, all Harman's are made in USA By American factory workers Jotul imports its casting from Europe fine quality castings. But should one crack are you willing to wait 4 months till one is shipped from Europe, Even if out of stock Harman can have a new part cast and delivered in less than a week the distance to foundry is less than 400 miles Let me explain my knowledge base I an a co owner of Hearthtalk.com forum I have actually visited the foundry and seen these castings made I have witnessed the enameling process. One major manufactures gives me stoves to Beta test them in the field Soon I will be receiving there newest line of inserts to test out. I am also a nationally certified building and Mechanical inspector I have inspected hundreds of there stoves installed Personally I own two top loaders. I find the convience un matched. I feel one can load more wood than any front or side loaders One annoyance to Jotul is the secondary burn tubes hinder its loading capacities Can't quite get as much in their stoves as a top loader Cant pack it as tightly therefore less wood to produce BTUS per load.. Getting back to my original statement: There is no bad choice between either stove both are of high quality. As for meeting your heating needs, one has to set realistic goals. Wood stoves are area heaters I would like t0 further this discussion at my other forum to bring in other experts. Personally my patriotism flavors my choice preference. I support American manufactures and American workers . I feel we already have an import imbalance, why add to it at the expense of more American citizens? |

Sayonara to Hello World Premiere
The Secret City Film Festival in Knoxville, TN will become sheer magic this weekend with the world premiere of our feature film on magician Steve Marshall. Sayonara to Hello screens at 5:30pm Sunday, September, 23rd.
There are a lot of things I can say about this film, but why not let Nancy Largent, from the Chapel Hill Recorder tell you all about the film and Steve in this excellent review of the film? "Nic Beery, Carrboro resident and highly acclaimed documentary filmmaker, has just released his first full-length feature film, Sayonara to Hello. This is a thoughtful, honest portrayal of a modern-day magician trying to make ends meet." Read it all HERE.
What? We were on the radio too? Yep, Frank Statio had Steve and I on his radio show, The State of Things, to discuss the film and our outrageous adventures. He then had the amazing Doug Largent Trio on to play live and talk about the effects composing and recording the S2H soundtrack had on their psyche. Listen to Steve and me HERE, and listen to Doug Largent HERE.
While we're at it, only if interested, learn more in this nice biography Nancy also did on my life. "After a lifetime of adventures, Nic Beery, the founder of the Carrboro Film Festival, landed in Carrboro, North Carolina in 2005 by sheer luck. Fortunately for our community, he is here to stay." Read the whole thing HERE.
As always, Sayonara to Hello is on sale in our merchandise section of BeeryMedia.com
September is a super big month for us here in the edit suite! Thanks for your continued support.
Directing Reel
Beery Media just put together a demo reel that focuses on directing actors and dialogue. It is exciting to see how snippets of films and productions work away from the whole film in which they are a part of. I hope you enjoy this demo reel.
Sayonara to Hello now Available on DVD!
Available online HERE.
The magic has been bottled. Our feature length doc that tells the story of one man and many dreams is now available on DVD and we couldn't be more excited. Thank you for all of your support, and the film is inspiring and getting rave reviews. Please consider buying a copy to support the arts and this production.
If you ever wanted to live your dream or recapture the magic of life, this film is for you.
Sayonara to Hello is a documentary about living your dreams. Many times childhood dreams get set aside for the realities of life such as paying bills, taking care of others and obstacles that are set in front of us.
S2H is, at its core, the story of one man's journey. Steve Marshall wanted to be a professional magician since he received his first magic trick as a christmas present when he was eight years old.
He has been a professional magician since we was 16 years old, performing magic for guests in the lounge of his local Holiday Inn in Florida.
That was 1981. It's now 2012 and Steve is still living his dream, no matter how hard it has been at times. And 2011 was hard. His adopted country, Japan, was hit with a devastating earthquake, tsunami and aftershocks. Steve and his family were safe, but much of his work dried up. Steve needed a plan to keep working.
S2H focuses on the travels of Professional Magician Steve Marshall as he returned to the US after fourteen years of living and performing in Japan's best showrooms and on television. Steve embarked on a month long east coast tour performing and giving lectures. Many of his routines were presented for the first time in English.
Joining Steve on this journey was his mentor, fellow performer Billy Scadlock. Billy is a clown, Charlie Chaplin impersonator and mime. On this trip he added to his resume the jobs of tour manager and driver.
Filmmaker Nic Beery documented this trip, but went way beyond the tour and performances themselves. The film searches for what it takes to live a dream that originated in an eight year old boy 40 years ago. How that decision has shaped Steve, what sacrifices he has made and how live performers are finding fewer and fewer places to perform in today's hi-tech world.
Finally, the route Steve took during the tour was almost the same one he and filmmaker Nic Beery took in 1984 when they first met as clowns with Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey Circus. The documentary will feature archival footage of that tour and discuss what thirty years of life will do to you.
The tour and shoot was from September 3rd to October 1st, 2011.

The beauty of Hillsborough, NC
The Orange County Visitor's Bureau asked us to spend some time in Hillsborough, NC with our cameras. What we found was beauty, community, food, drink and music. Hillsborough is a lovely town that I love to ride my bike and meet up with friends. Take a visit, you'll be glad you did.
A&E and the Documentary Channel
What's exciting about shooting a professional interview for A&E is how we can transform a small hotel room with a king sized bed in the middle of it into a great looking interview studio. This weekend BeeryMedia.com had the pleasure of working for both A&E and The Documentary Channel. They are promoting new documentaries that you will be seeing on the big screen this summer and fall. My recommendation? Go see Bart Layton's "The Imposter". He's the gentleman in these photos and his film still has me thinking two days later.

Sayonara to Hello focuses on the travels and adventures of Steve Marshall as he returns to the
United States for a magic lecture tour after 14 years of performing as a magician and comedic actor in Japan.
When the earthquake / tsunami of 2011 devastated much of Japan and made working as an
entertainer almost impossible, Steve teamed up with mentor and Charlie Chaplin impersonator Billy Scadlock and filmmaker and former clown partner Nic Beery with a plan to tour the East coast towns he and Nic had visited as clowns with the Ringling Bros Circus back in 1984.
Beery's film goes beyond the tour and performances,searching for what it takes to live a dream that began 40 years ago.
About Nic Beery

His films have been in over 50 festivals from Cannes to New York City, and have won numerous awards, including a recent Emmy nomination and the 2009 Indie Arts award winner in The Independent. Nic is the owner of BeeryMedia.com, a boutique video production company in Carrboro, NC, and co-founder of the Carrboro Film Festival.

Some people have their own server where they store pictures and post from there. If you don't have your own server, you'll need an online hosting site like Photobucket.com or Imageshack.us. Both are free, but you do have to setup an account with Photobucket. There is also a pay account option if you want to take advantage of the perks, but you don't have to just for posting pics here on the forums.
To post pics using Photobucket....... 1. Click on Browse and navigate your hard drive to where your picture is.
2. Double click your picture, and it will appear on the Browse line.
4. After a brief moment, the screen will change and display your picture with four different posting options underneath it. You want the third option that says "HTML Tag."
5. Paste it right into your message box above or under your typed message. If you paste more than one pic, paste them under one another in the message box, not on the same line. So, you'll want to hit your Enter/Return key two times, then paste the next picture. You can type in between the pastings if you want. Photobucket archives pictures for you, meaning they will stay there in your account for you to copy and paste for years to come. You can always delete them if you want. However, if you delete them while they are being hosted somewhere, they will no longer show up wherever you posted them on the internet. So, they will disappear from here on the forum pages. To post pics using Imageshack....... 1. Click on Browse and navigate your hard drive to where your picture is. 3. It will change over to a new screen to display many hosting options. You want to scroll down and select the third line from the bottom that says "Hotlink for Websites."
4. Click on that line to highlight it, then right click the line to select copy (or cut). Paste it right into your message box above or under your typed message. If you paste more than one pic, paste them under one another in the message box, not on the same line. So, you'll want to hit your Enter/Return key two times, then paste the next picture. You can type in between the pastings if you want. Resizing Pictures Graphics that are too large will knock the forum page out of whack and make it difficult to read messages and replies. Please be sure to resize images that are wider than 600 pixels before posting them. If you don't have an image editor on your computer, there are many online image editing sites you can use to resize them. If you're not sure how large your pictures are, paste them into your message box here and then you can see them after clicking preview but before clicking on submit. The preview will show your message and pictures in their entirety for your editing and resizing descretion. |

Bestlawn, Your procedure makes posting pictures very easy. This should be in the lawncare forum FAQs I wish gardenweb was more responsive to its members requests in terms of upgrading pages, FAQs ect. I know you have made several suggestions that seem to fall on deaf ears. Apparently Gardenweb's greatest interest is for their pop-up advertizers. Thanks for posting these instructions. |
Bill, I agree. I've emailed in an attempt to get an FAQ list started for the Organic Lawn Care forum, and to get the Organic LC forum to show up as a link on the regular LC forum. I've emailed requests several times. How frustrating..... Dan |
Last night I had just got done running no-adware on my computer to remove any spyware. Five minutes later, I used the links in this thread to go to Imageshack and Photobucket. Immediately after leaving their websites, I noticed my computer was slower than normal. So, I ran no-adware again and presto 13 new critical spyware items kicked up. I guess that's the price you pay for free software |
It's too bad there's no way to make a posting like this "sticky" so it would stay near the top. Does anybody know if the FAQ is still being maintained? Maybe this could be added to the FAQ. |

Just thought this post was worthwhile for those who haven't seen it yet. |
Every once in a while somebody asks, so here it is. |
This is useful info. |
On a related note, this thread shows how to resize pictures. |

Bestlawn, I have lurked on this forum for several years. I've always been afraid to totally kill the old Fescue lawn and grow Kentucky Bluegrass. But I am finally ready to make the switch. I know the best time to do this is in the fall. But do you think I have any chance of success trying to do this in the spring? I've always read your advice on KBG with great interest. I appreciate your feedback, or anyone else's for that matter. |
Stoptheweeds created a new thread for the lawn question. If anybody has answers, reply to the other thread and keep this one related to posting pictures. |

"There are stories that everyone at the magazine has loved over the years — Oscar de la Renta's house in the Dominican Republic, all of Karl [Lagerfeld]'s houses, Madonna's...old house in the English countryside," said Hamish Bowles, Vogue Living's editor in chief and editor of the book. "We wanted to get a mix of fashion designers and the kind of creative style makers that Vogue applauds and give insight into the further creative process of creative minds."
The idea for the book, said Bowles, has been kicked around for many years, but the editors began work on it while putting together the first Vogue Living magazine last summer. Vogue editor in chief Anna Wintour oversaw the book, but Bowles edited the stories and wrote the introduction. Calvin Klein, whose minimalist loft overlooking the East River appeared in Vogue in the mid-Seventies, wrote the forward. Knopf will produce 25,000 copies in its initial run.
"Vogue Living: Houses, Gardens, People" is a nod to the fashion monthly's previous book, "Vogue's Book of Houses, Gardens and People" published in 1968. The title overlap, said Bowles, was Wintour's idea. As for the price, Bowles said it's a bargain. According to bookseller Alibris, the 1968 version goes for about $500.
Meanwhile, the second issue of Vogue Living will hit stands Oct. 23 with a 500,000 rate base. Last year's edition was polybagged to 300,000 subscribers, and a spokeswoman said plans are the same for 2007. Newsstands sales for the 2006 copy reached about 145,000 copies, a spokesman confirmed. Comparatively, Architectural Digest sold about 102,000 copies per month on average in the last half of 2006, according to the Audit Bureau of Circulations — although Vogue Living was on newsstands for three months.

Barnum circus elephant emblem forced into painful cuteness: Kenny Be's Sign Language
Where would PETA wash their cars?
The elephant seen in the photograph above squints his eye and squeals in pain from the burning caused by the car wash cleaning solution. The sign graces the Jumbo Car Wash, which was named after the first elephant purchased by P.T. Barnum (in 1882), and is located near the neighborhood that bears the Showman's name. Where are the People for the Ethical Treatment of Animal-Art protesters?
If my many years of watching Flintstones cartoons are correct, Jumbo must also buff the car with his feet and use his trunk to vacuum the floor mats.
This isn't the only instance of circus-elephant-inspired suffering inflicted on the Barnum neighborhood. First up: the painfully cute contortions of "Effie."
Multiple trunk fractures cause Effie to scream in pain.
The photograph above, taken in March of 2010, shows Effie the Elephant wallowing in sand and self-pity during the winter of her discontent. This sculpture was created with a nod toward P.T. Barnum's famous circus elephant and sits in Denver Urban Garden's Cedar Park at 174 South Knox Court. Effie was created out of rebar in chicken wire in 1996 by artist Calvin Farrow with the aid of neighborhood children who slapped on the concrete. Sadly, in keeping with Barnum's elephantine reputation, little thought was given to Effie's preservation.
Page down to see how a batch of new concrete has now gotten Effies's trunk all out of joint.

on March 5, 2013You know how you know someone is not merely a dick, but a vicious, inhumane dick?
They keep killing something after it's dead.
Nevertheless, Section 510 of the latest legislation, introduced by House Appropriations Chair Hal Rogers (R-Ky.), reads: "None of the funds made available in this Act may be distributed to the Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now (ACORN) or its subsidiaries or successors." Jennifer Hing, a spokeswoman for the committee, said the line was "a typical provision that is included in most appropriations bills."
In the long view now, it's plain that the assault on ACORN was the opening general mobilization in the final assault on minority voting rights that found its way into the Supreme Court last week. (And thanks again, Democrats, for chickening out so thoroughly.) But, as Steve M at No More Mister Nice Blog has been saying for months, in the fever-swamp section of the Great Republican Terrarium, ACORN still exists as a bustling in reeds that scares the swamp people into obeying the gods. These people are out of their minds.

That Story About El Al Attendants Is Fake
Israeli airline may have the world's hottest—but not officially
I saw, via a tweet from Israel's Chicago consulate, that the World Air Hostesses Association had named El Al's the "most attractive flight attendants" in the world. Judging from two flights on the Israeli airline last month, it didn't seem the most implausible fact, but I like to verify. Subsequent Googling reveals that the Association is not a thing, and that the story is somewhat bogus and probably completely bogus. The "news" was broken by a website called Tourist Israel, which cited a source in the "Chinese media" (maybe this blog post?). At least one other blog has also found the evidence wanting.
Still, we can safely go out on a limb and propose that El Al has the world's highest percentage of Jewish flight attendants, right? And, for a certain sort of discerning customer, that's more important anyway.

(CCB insisted that we not mow the lawn before Easter, so I made sure to take full advantage of the tall weeds.)
Where oh where…
There it is!
I spy with my little eye…something green and beery.
Speaking of beer: roller derby. Finally got myself out to see a Sarasota Roller Girls bout. I admit to feeling a little competetive with the Roller Girls (and their northerly counterparts, the Bradentucky Bombers), due to the crowds they draw, while I can't even get my own mother to come to a hockey game. But bless them derby chicks, that's one hell of a spectacle. I don't think we'll be adding fishnets or nicknames to any upcoming Ms Conduct tournaments (as much as we'd love to have a fourth of the Roller Girls' fans–and sponsors), but we've already marked our calendars for the next derby bout against the Bombers–conveniently just up the road from our house at Florida Wheels.
Me and CCB with fellow mag employee MuscaWTF. (Don't blame me; that's a CCB-given nickname.)
Leave it to Little J to fudge with the camera settings and snap some pretty cool pics.
A Roller Girls' jammer moves in for the score.
This bout was a bit of a blowout, alas, against a team from Gainesville (which, it should be noted, has a convenient college recruiting pool. Just sayin'.) But my, don't we Ms Conduct veterans know what it's like to be the newbies in a statewide league. Chins up, Roller Girls, being the underdog is especially fun when you start whoopin' up on people.
After the derby, we headed downtown for some to-die-for mac 'n cheese at Stairway to Belgium. Also: this random dancer at Sports Page. Because, I guess, why not?
The weekend ended with another great Easter tradition: lamb and spanikopita dinner at my parents' house.
CCB, Pa and Managing Maxine star Sharon Spelman, with husband
Steve Johnson, at our lovely (and riotously funny) Easter dinner.

Insulin-Like Growth Factor I, Recombinant, Rat (IGF1) |
10ug 50ug |
Molecular Biology | Storage: -70°CShipping: Blue Ice |
Insulin-Like Growth Factor I, Recombinant, Rat (IGF1) is a well-characterized basic peptide believed to be secreted by the liver and to circulate in the blood. It has growth-regulating, insulin-like, and mitogenic activities. This growth factor has a major, but not absolute, dependence on Somatotropin. It is believed to be mainly active in adults in contrast to Insulin like Growth Factor 2, which is a major fetal growth factor. Biological Activity: Rat IGF-1 is fully biologically active when compared to standards. The ED50, was calculated 2 methods: 1. Stimulation of protein synthesis in rat L6 myoblasts ED50 was found to be 30ng/ml. 2. Type 1 IGF receptor binding assay ED50 was found to be 10ng/ml. AA Sequence: The sequence of the first five N-terminal amino acids was determined and was found to be Gly-Pro-Glu-Thr-Leu. N-terminal methionine has been completely removed enzymatically. Storage and Stability: Lyophilized powder may be stored at -20°C. Stable for 12 months at -20°C. Reconstitute with sterile ddH2O, aliquot and store at -20°C. For maximum recovery of product, centrifuge the original vial after thawing and prior to removing the cap. Further dilutions can be made in assay buffer. Molecular Weight: 7.7kD |
Purity: ~95% Analysis by RP-HPLC; Reducing and non-reducing SDS-PAGE. Form: Supplied as a lyophilized powder. Reconstitute with sterile dH2O PBS to 0.1-1mg/ml, which can be further diluted into other aqueous solutions.

I don't think heaving is as much a problem to iris as having too much water and bad drainage. I'd be more inclined to put pine boughs over them than pine needles so air circulates better but the boughs capture snow and frosts. |

It didn't take long for Pedro Almodóvar to realize that Penélope Cruz was going to deliver one hell of a performance in Volver. He sensed it on the first day of shooting when, in character as the tough, working-class single mom Raimunda, Cruz sat chitchatting with her sister, daughter, and senile old aunt. As she munched on cookies, the actress gently brushed away some crumbs that had fallen onto the dining room table. That simple, unscripted gesture of tidiness convinced the director that something special was happening. ''She was completely in contact with the soul of the character,'' the Spanish director recalls. ''From that moment, I knew she would do extraordinary work.''
No arguments here. In Volver, a tragi-dramedy about mothers, daughters, and some not-so-nice men who try to come between them, Cruz proves that her wondrous turn in Almodóvar's All About My Mother was no fluke, and that despite all those Hollywood misfires, she is, in fact, a splendidly gifted actress. Throughout the movie, she juggles a dizzying range of emotions fear, exhilaration, fierce maternal love often in the space of a single scene. With her hair swept into a tousled updo, her eyes lined heavily in black kohl, and her svelte frame made curvier by much-discussed bum cushioning, the Madrid native radiates a womanly sexiness reminiscent of such great European actresses as Sophia Loren and Anna Magnani.
To earn her first Oscar nomination for a role she honed with her longtime friend Almodóvar should be doubly gratifying for Cruz, 32. ''I felt so alive working with Pedro,'' she said last fall. ''This movie has given me so much happiness as a human being, not just as an actress. It's a time of my life that I will remember when I am an 80-year-old woman.''

I was given a large banana plant earlier this spring.
It's a very nice plant. I have taken good care of it, it has new leaves that are edged in red....looks strong and healthy...but, i'm just not a banana kinda girl. I would love to trade my banana plant for something else.
I would love to maybe find a Mandavilla or something along those lines to trade for it...but, I'm open to trades. I'd like for it to be a plant that would fit right in and be happy in my greenhouse.
I can take a picture for you so you can see the banana....as I have no clue what type of banana it is. lol |

well, if you want to come here sometime soon or hold it until my Sept swap I would be interested in it. AHHH and you could bring me a handful of pennywort too LOL. Let me know and we can decide what you might like for it :) :) Fran |
I'm not exactly sure what I'll be doing that far out.... There have been posts for some swaps I'd love to go to...but, unfortunately I have to work around my husbands work schedule...and that is an ever changing thing. Do you have anything that vines? Like Passiflora or something like that? I know they do pretty well in greenhouses. I looked at your list, but I got confused as to what you were offering and what you were asking for. I'm easily confused though. |
