Get It Together: Act Like a Lady on FacebookFriday, 10 June 2011 16:22
Ladies, in case you missed the memo, here you go: Now that the entire world is on Facebook (yes, this means your grandma too), we must watch the things we say and do on the site.
When it comes to Facebook, there are eyes on you even when you don't know anyone is watching. You enjoy spending time on Facebook and Twitter... I get that. But you're a lady first, and a social networker second.
IS FACEBOOK A RELATIONSHIP KILLER?Saturday, 25 February 2012 14:12
According to a new survey by the American Academy of Matrimonial Lawyers, one in five divorces involve Facebook. An amazing 80 per cent of divorce lawyers have also reported a spike in the number of cases that use social media for evidence of cheating. Facebook was by far the biggest offender, with 66 per cent of lawyers citing it as the primary source of evidence in a divorce case. MySpace followed with 15 per cent, Twitter at 5 per cent and other choices lumped together at 14 per cent.
Flirty messages and photographs found on Facebook are increasingly being cited as proof of unreasonable behavior or irreconcilable differences. Many cases revolve around social media users who get back in touch with old flames they hadn't heard from in many years. Facebook also opens a the door a lot of spying, stalking, and jealousy-driven acts. It seems the new social network jargon is developing with words such as Facestalking. Now Facebook has been branded by some as a relationship killer.
Tune into "Let's Get It On w/Relationship Coach Sadie" this Sat to discuss and find out how to keep facebook from ruining your relationship.

The Good and The Bad of Social Networks|Special Guests: Jerseylicious and Glam Fairy Stars Briella Calafiore and Jessica RomanoFriday, 23 November 2012 13:48
Social Networks have become a fantastic way for people to reconnect, and socialize around the world. Popular Networks like Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram have become viral as well as International brands. The more people that sign up the less people see of each other. Social media has become the most common communication tool since the cell phone. Aside from convenience, and popularity these networks are used by many as a stepping stone in entertainment. Social media sites/apps are not only great for communication, but also as a means to market, advertise, promote, and date, leading to our next point Social Temptation.
Many will say that dating has become a staple for many of these sites allowing users to change their relationship status from "it's complicated" to "divorced." Influencing many outcomes of relationships today from simple random comments, messages, or "likes" can mean the end for most men and women in relationships who can't control their urge to flirt, or post for attention.
For the other person in the relationship this can have a "by any means necessary" effect, and thus they begin to monitor their significant other or crush's activity on all social accounts. If lucky
enough steal their passwords or identity in order to spy or trick friends and family. While some may find social networks a personal barrier, relationship problem, or personal playground, it is more so an extracurricular activity. Tonight on the "Only Women Wear High Heels," show we get into "Social Temptation," and much more when Briella Calafiore and Jessica Romano from "Jerseylicious" and "Glam Fairy," Join us! You don't want to miss this 11pm est. Only on BKS1Radio.com

Special Guest: J. Nicole
Twitter: @myjnichole/ Facebook/jnichole/Juliet Jones
Juliet Nichole Jones (known as artist J. Nichole) is a native of Pennsylvania, and an Inspiring Contemporary Gospel Artist who has a love of ministry and music. With her unique and anointed voice she is reaching beyond the traditional gospel sound and gospel audience. Honored by colleagues, and adored by the public this singing sensation is truly an inspiration. She is the daughter of a musician father and an evangelist/songwriting mother, and has had much support from her influential yet talented parents.
Her career began at age 7 where she began to sing in local talent shows. By age 8 she became little Miss Southern PA where she won her first trophy. By the time she was 12, she knew in her heart that singing was what she wanted to do. She accepted the Lord into her life, and one day while watching a show on TV she saw a blind girl give her testimony and sing beautifully for the Lord. J. Nichole was immediately inspired and wanted to sing with the same enthusiasm as the blind girl did. During Church service one day JNichole prayed and asked God earnestly from her heart to bless her with the same enthusiasm to sing.
Little did she know, God heard her prayer request, and years later it would manifest into a reality. While in her college years, J. Nichole enjoyed singing and touring as lead vocalist with a top 40 band in PA. She then placed law school on hold, and headed out to LA to pursue her music career. While in L.A. she had the pleasure of working with many influential artist in the music industry in the pop/ r&b markets, performing at local venues with her girl group at the time, as well as a pending deal with Sony that unfortunately fell through.
After many obstacles faced in L. A. as a single mother during that time, J. Nichole started to faithfully attend church and study the word and it was then when she quickly re - dedicated her life back to the Lord. She immediately realized God had other plans for her and her music career as a singer, writer and entrepreneur. Currently she is working on her brand new Gospel CD titled "No More Runnin".
She released the first single from that CD titled "Do you know him" in 2012, then in 2013 she released the second single titled "Get your Spirit UP" currently in rotation on Wamo 100.1 AM/FM Gospel's Best Sunday's with Brother Marlon, and many more. She is also taking the internet radio by storm (KROV 97.1 FM, Magic 102.3 FM on Radio Synergy 1, Racman Radio, CJB Radio to name a few). She is lined up to appear on WLCF TV the Spotlight, Bobby Jones Presents for New Vision Productions for the Impact TV Network, and the Iowa Gospel festival in the summer of 2013.
J. Nichole has been extremely honored to be selected as a performer for the 36th Annual Festival of Black Gospel in NY on March 1, 2013 along with other amazing and anointed artist such as Jonathan McReynolds and Anita Wilson to name a few. While inspired by many artist in Gospel such as Mary Mary, Fred Hammond, Nicole C. Mullen, James Fortune and Fiya as the list can go on - J. Nichole carries a unique style all her own. When she isn't singing or pursuing her doctorate degree JNichole enjoys spending time with her family or doing volunteer work with her local church in New Jersey.
She also enjoys working with her mother Yvonne in expanding their non-profit organization "My Spirit in Motion", which involves many outreach programs /missionary work. The mission is to defeat the kingdom of darkness with a vision of helping others. Ultimately, J. Nichole's prayer is that her spirit-filled singing will touch the lives of countless of millions of listeners through numerous appearances on radio, television, and concerts throughout the United States and foreign lands.
Special Guests: Valentine
"Merging the genres of dance/pop and industrial rock, Valentin sings from a typically dark and occasionally cynical perspective of that infamous, and often unpredictable, four-letter word: love. He draws influence from a wide variety of artists (Nine Inch Nails, Lady Gaga, Marilyn Manson, Savage Garden, and Robyn to name a few), but he pushes himself to stick to his true colours. His favourite colour is black."
Special Guest: Angela Spivey
Some people find their calling early in life. The Princess of Gospel, Angela Spivey, is one of them. The Chicago native joined the children's choir at her father's First Corinthians Missionary Baptist Church and made her singing debut at the age of four. A year later, at the ripe old age of five, she became the choir's director.
Angela would go on to form the nine-member Voices of Victory, a young adult choir that quickly grew in membership and prominence around Chicago. Now, some 37 years later, the choir comprises 65 members and Angela remains true to her calling: To spread the word of God through music and to use her anointing to heal others.
Launching a career as a gospel recording artist wasn't Angela's goal. In fact, she was content to sing in the church and vehemently opposed the idea of recording. But others saw the need for her ministry on a larger scale and, eventually, so did she. "People started pushing me to record, but I never wanted to do it. We recorded 'Victorious Praise,' our first CD, in 1993," she recalls. In 1997, she was the lead vocalist for the GMWA Gospel Announcers CD's outstanding track, "So You Would Know How Much I Love You." She followed up with 1999's "Glory, Honor and Praise."
For someone who was reluctant to record, Angela was on a roll. In 2002, she was joined by ten members of her choir for the recording of "I'm Determined," the CD that put her front and center in the gospel industry, netting several 2003 GMWAs, including awards for Female Vocalist of the Year, Traditional Album, Traditional Song, Traditional Best Video and the coveted Artist of the Year. She was also nominated for a 2003 Soul Train Lady of Soul Award in the gospel CD category.
But with all that she has achieved, at least one person was convinced that Angela had not gotten her just due. That person would be Pastor DeWayne Harvey, CEO of her new record label home, Innovative Records. "Angie's been a hidden talent," he says. "People know about her, but her success in terms of sales, outings, venues, and all the things that come along with a good gospel artist just aren't there. That's my goal. I know her voice is anointed and designed to reach not only people here in the United States, but all over the world."
Angela's forthcoming CD, her sixth, "He Keeps His Promise," produced by Harvey, Antonio Wimberly and Etienne Porter, serves up an array of spiritually uplifting songs; notable among them is the title track, which is the CD's debut single. Spivey's new release is destined to be one of her greatest. Harvey and his crew of producers have not only captured the essence of what Spivey does, but have given her a new look and sound. This new sound is evident in that lead track as well as on the standout second single, "God Cares." Spivey said that the songs stretched her out of her comfort zone; however, the results of moving out are amazing. Spivey says, "It's new, it's fresh, almost as if I have been reinvented."
Additional gems on the album are the poignant "My Outcome is Victory," penned by Spivey; "Let God Do It," a song penned by Harvey; and "I Wanna Be Ready," which is traditional yet new.
Angela says that every song she records has to resonate with her spiritually and emotionally. It's not just about a funky beat or a catchy hook. It's about telling a story, dispensing wisdom and drawing on the word for healing, comfort and discernment. "I try to seek God and hear God, so that the song that He gives me will be a blessing to someone else," she says. "I want to let people know that their outcome is victory if they trust God. I want to tell them that their joy is coming in the morning. A lot of people need to know that if they can just hold on until morning they can find joy. I want songs that will touch the hearts of men and women and help them to realize that bad situations are not that bad after all."
As Angela prepares to follow in the footsteps of her father, she looks forward to continuing her musical ministry as well. She says that even though she has always known her calling, it's clearer now than it has ever been, much clearer than when she was that four-year-old girl singing in her father's church. "I've grown spiritually," she lends. "When you look at my overall picture, I've changed. I'm not that little girl Angie anymore. I'm a woman who knows God and loves God. That's my calling."
Are You Caught Up In Beauty?Thursday, 01 May 2014 20:21
Are You Caught Up In Beauty?
What do you see when you look in the mirror? Do you see a beautiful person? Are you caught up on society's obsession of beauty? Do you like the size of your lips, the color of your skin, the shape of your nose, or texture/length of your hair? Do you wish you were thicker or smaller? Are you constantly comparing yourself to someone else's beauty? Do you wish that you could look like them? Do you feel that attractive people receives more attention? Does beauty really matter in the work place, media, or society?

We are in constant fear that people will judge us or talk about the way we look. But if worrying about our appearance or obsessing over the way we look becomes a daily, or hourly, occurrence eventually it may interfere with our relationships, work and school.
Those fears and insecurities may prevent us from doing things we enjoy or pursuing opportunities to meet our goals. Are you caught up in beauty? Is body image issues worrying you? Are you making yourself feel depressed, anxious, or alone, talking to someone may help. Join the ladies of OWWHH Friday night 11:00 pm est on Bks1radio.com.
The truth is how other people see us or whether we fit someone else's standard of beauty isn't important. What's important is that you love yourself!!!!!!!

Could State-of-the-Art Management Make Shellfish Disease Problems Worse?
Current shellfish disease management might let new diseases slip by.
Virginia Sea Grant aims to maintain sustainable and thriving commercial and recreational fisheries and aquaculture production in Virginia through cutting edge research and "feet on the boat" extension work. Extension staff at VIMS and Virginia Tech specialize in fishing gear design, recreational fisheries, and finfish and shellfish aquaculture.
Extension projects include:

District Projects
The Platte Canyon Board of Directors approved the Capital Master Plan for 2016 - 2025. The purpose of the master plan is to itemize, prioritize and schedule water and wastewater infrastructure expansion, rehabilitation and replacement projects as well as vehicle purchases to enhance the accuracy of budgeting and cash flow analysis. As the District's facilities age and approach the end of their useful life, the capital plan enables the District to be proactive in confronting water and sewer system modifications and rehabilitation.
The 2016 - 2025 capital plan proposes expenditure of $1,251,326 in 2016 and $5,148,712 over the ten year planning horizon. This compares with projected expenditures in last year's master plan totaling $5,604,884.
Expenditures called for in the 2016 plan will result in a reserve fund balance of $9,466,403 at the end of 2016. This amount has been determined by the Board of Directors to provide adequate reserves to meet expenditures proposed over the next 10 years without a reduction in services or an increase in tax revenues, tap fees or annexation fees.
Vehicle replacement costs for the period between 2016 and 2025 are projected to be $1,275,000, $285,000 less than the amount proposed in last year's vehicle replacement schedule. Two mobile units are scheduled to be replaced in 2016; one pick-up truck and a combination valve operator and vacuum trailer. The two units are projected to cost $80,000.
Total capital expenses over the ten year planning period are projected to be $5,604,884. Cash financing is anticipated for all capital projects and no increases in property tax rates, tap fees, or service charges are proposed over the ten year period.
Capital projects proposed for construction during 2016 include the following:
Scott J. Morse (formerly Columbine West) Pump Station Rehabilitation - The 43-year old Scott J. Morse pump station provides peak water flow and fire flow capability to 330 homes in the Columbine West Subdivision located generally between S. Pierce Street, W. Coal Mine Avenue, S. Wadsworth Blvd. and W. Ken Caryl Avenue. Numerous small leaks have occurred on the steel piping within the pump station, and the pumps and motors have not been replaced or had major work since they were installed in 1972. The cost to make repairs, replacements and upgrades to the pump station and piping is estimated to be $718,750.
For the current status of this project, please click here.
Normandy Estates Subdivision Water Main Replacement - The second water project for 2016 proposes replacement of 1,083 feet of 6-inch cast iron pipe in West Portland Drive between West Ottawa Avenue and South Sheridan Boulevard in the Normandy Estates Subdivision with 1,083 feet of 6-inch poly-vinyl pipe. The existing pipe has experienced three breaks caused by external corrosion. The estimated cost of the project is $223,434.
For the current status of this project, please click here.
Normandy Estates Subdivision Sewer Rehabilitation - During the past two years, District operations staff conducted a comprehensive condition assessment of all 8-inch and 12-inch concrete sewer pipe and determined that all 17,826 feet of concrete pipe needs to be rehabilitated. As such, all the concrete pipe has been scheduled for rehabilitation between 2014 and 2019. The first phase of rehabilitation occurred in 2014 with the cured-in-place lining of 1,814 feet of 8-inch and 625 feet of 12-inch concrete pipe in the Columbine Heights Subdivision. Phase two of this project, completed in 2015, consisted of cured-in-place lining of 3,383 feet of 8-inch pipe in the Normandy Estates Subdivision. Phase three, scheduled for 2016, consists of cured-in-place lining of 3,234 feet of 8-inch pipe in West Rowland Avenue, West Plymouth Drive and West Quarles Drive also in the Normandy Estates Subdivision. Fifty-six service connections will be reestablished and 64 manholes will be spray lined as part of the project. The estimated cost of the project including design engineering and contingencies is $213,848.
For the current status of this project, please click here.
Miscellaneous Sewer Rehabilitation - The capital plan for 2016 also reserves $25,000 for cured-in-place lining of unspecified segments of sewer pipe. These funds will only be spent in the event that routine video inspections reveal a need to perform immediate repairs of existing sewer mains.
More information relative to the above mentioned projects will appear on the web site when scheduling information is available.

'Congratulations' MGMT, you lead the top new album releases for April 13
MGMT's second Columbia release is Tuesday's (April 13) biggest release, but there are other goodies: For "American Idol" fans, as Jason Castro puts out his first full-length set, vets Jeff Beck and Natalie Merchant return after seven-year absences, and Coheed & Cambria rock your world with their fifth studio album.
Jeff Beck, "Emotion & Commotion" (Atco/Rhino): In Beck's first album in seven years, he uses his stunning guitar work to unite a hodgepodge of music including a few originals, covers of "Somewhere Over the Rainbow" and "Nessun Dorma," and portion of a movie score to "Atonement" into a somewhat cohesive work.?)
Laura Bell Bundy, "Achin' and Shakin'" (Mercury Nashville): She may be a Broadway baby, but Laura Bell Bundy certainly has a name made for country music. Bundy, who's appeared in "Legally Blonde," "Wicked" and "Hairspray," has traded in the Great White Way for Music Row. First single "Giddy on Up" is climbing both the country chart and the dance chart, courtesy of a kicking remix.
Jason Castro, "Jason Castro" (Atlantic): "American Idol" contestant as best known for his long dreadlocks as his strong vocals releases his first full-length post-"Idol" album. Assisting him were producer Eric Rosse, as well as songwriters Marc Roberge of O.A.R, and Zac Maloy, who wrote for David Cook's set. Castro starts a tour April 17 in Dallas.
Coheed and Cambria, "Year of the Black Rainbow" (Columbia): Shades of "Star Wars 1: The Phantom Menace." For its fifth studio album, hard rock band C&C goes back to the future. The latest in its series of concept albums, "Year of the Black Rainbow" is, thematically, a prequel to its previous four albums. It comes with a novel for your reading pleasure.
Kaki King, "Junior" (Rounder): Guitarist known for her impressive fretboard tapping abilities turns to producer Malcolm Burn to create a dreamscape with her airiest vocals yet.
Natalie Merchant, "Leave Your Sleep" (Nonesuch): Really? This is what we get after a seven-year wait? Merchant takes lyrics from such brilliant poets as Robert Louis Stevenson and e.e. cummings and writes music around their words. Maybe she's got writer's block?
MGMT, "Congratulations" (Columbia): Duo of Ben Goldwasser and Andrew VanWyngarden's second Columbia set, and follow up to "Oracular Spectacular," is a trippy serving of electro-psychedelic pop, but we're sure you already know that since it leaked a month ago and has been available for streaming since then.
Straight No Chaser, "With a Twist" (Atco/Atlantic): This male a capella group has been around much longer than "Glee," but maybe the interest in that show's reinvention of pop classics by ensembles will help propel these former Indiana University students into the stratosphere and leave listeners not shaken, but stirred. After two successful holiday sets, the ten piece now tackles such tunes as Red Hot Chili Peppers' "Under the Bridge," Oasis's "Wonderwall" and Coldplay's "Fix You."

George Borst C'70 took a step back in the same business classrooms he graduated from 45 years ago to share some of his own experiences in business with Mount students. Borst served as Toyota Financial Services (TFS) Regional CEO for 11 years and had a wealth of information to share with students. Discussions in Business Policy and Society classes ranged from simply starting out in search of a career to the advanced topics of ethical behavior in the workplace. Shannon Greene C'15 said, "Mr. Borst stressed corporate social responsibility and volunteering in the workplace as well as a discussion on the transition from college to corporate as budding young business people."
Borst had varying messages for the different classes he attended but the overall the message Borst had for students stressed finding your own path but also how to address ethics in an environment where no one comes from the same ethical or moral background. Along with ethical standards Borst concluded by encouraging the young business minds in the classes to give back. Borst's own philanthropic pursuits are not limited to monetary terms; he volunteers his time as well. Bringing Toyota Financial Services' philanthropic efforts to new heights during his time with the company, Borst ensured the company practiced what they espoused.
After leading TFS out of the early millennium and into the past decade, Borst currently serves as executive advisor to the CEO on global issues in operational and financial decisions. During his time with TFS, Borst led the company through numerous crises including global recession, unprecedented automobile recalls, and the 2011 earthquake and tsunami in northeastern Japan which wiped out many of Toyota's suppliers. Though the company faced many hardships, it became the nation's largest captive finance company during Borst's leadership.

|Named in honor of Charles Darwin, the father of evolution, the Darwin Awards commemorate those who improve our gene pool by removing themselves from it.
Depth of a Fisherman
(9 January 2002, New Zealand) A fisherman was swept away from the wild West Coast beaches of Auckland, pushed to sea by 12-foot swells encountered after ignoring warnings of the impending danger.
Onlookers could only look on in conditions too poor to allow for a rescue attempt. A Surf Lifesaver reported seeing the man standing and fishing as swells broke over his head in the wake of the oncoming gale.
His body was recovered not far from the rocks.
He is not the first fisherman to drown recently off the West Coast beach. Another man tied himself to the rocks to prevent being swept away, and was drowned by the incoming tide.
A story of yet another fisherman's odd capsize.

On the days when the answers don't seem so easy to process and the challenges are even greater, I know that the folks at PMG Awareness Organization are there to help me. We celebrate the milestones together and sympathize in a way that no one else can. I have made connections with others who have helped to navigate this road.

Mandy, thank you so much for taking the time to review our organization! We consider it the greatest of honors to be there to help support our families!
This charity represents a HUGE part of my life !! It represents my son and the fight for awareness of pmg !
PMG affects each person in a different way and there is no question that without the help, support guidance that this group provides, many of us would be lost at trying to understand what our kiddos face. We cannot say it enough... Thank you thank you thank you!!!

I found PMGA a few years back and we were fortunate enough to attend the conference in 2013. It was so amazing to meet all the families who just get it! Since then we have stayed in touch and enjoyed getting involved with PMGA to help spread awareness and raise money for research and future events.

My daughter is 3 years old and has PMG, the PMGA Organization has given me so much information to help us understand more clearly her condition as well as ongoing support. It's so amazing to talk to other families out there that just get it! We are anxiously awaiting our next convention to get to all be together in the same room and see how far all of our kids have come.

My son was diagnosed with PMG earlier this year, and PMG awareness organization is one of the only resources us PMG families have. The medical knowledge is limited and this has been my main source of advice.

myself being a PMG survivor, the oldest living survivor has given hope and possible futures for many families struggling with this nasty disease, we need more research, congress to get involved so we can get the proper medical treatment and understanding about our seizures.

I am a 55 year survivor f PMG and 2 other brain disorders and finding PMG awareness in 2012 helpedme to understand my condition lot better and to give hope to others.

When our infant daughter had her first MRI and they found the malformations in her brain, it could not have been more terrifying. The world and future we thought we knew had been destroyed and what replaced it was total unknown. Being diagnosed with something that is so uncommon means you have very few places to turn to for help. The PMG Awareness Organization was life saving for us, as it gave us info even our pediatrician couldn't and connected us with other families who had been in our shoes, and they were able to give the support and guidance we desperately needed.

Great place to find support and information about PMG.

This group is a God send. We did not know alot about PMG when Jorden was born 14 years ago. But because of what this organization has done to promote awareness it has changed the lives of many. They support the families as best they can with research info and other things. They were there for us when we needed them most. That was when we lost Jorden. I still follow them and know we will always be part of the PMG family. Great group of people who love our PMG Angels and Families.

My daughter has PMG and PMG Awareness Org has helped us learn so much! Not only have we learned about the condition, but I have been able to refer medical professionals and therapists to the organization to learn more about her PMG as it is so rare. It has also helped create a network of support for those of us with PMG in our lives. WONDERFUL organization!!!!

Fostoria council OKs parks supervisor
FOSTORIA – At Mayor Eric Keckler's request, council agreed to renew retired Fostoria Parks and Cemetery supervisor John Potteiger's seat on the Tree and Beautification Committee at Tuesday night's council meeting. The term is to expire at the end of this year.
Potteiger has spent more than 20 years on the committee providing guidance and advice. His passion for trees has been passed to his son, Jon, who has served the city of Tiffin in the Park and Recreation and Public Works departments as an arborist for many years.
Council also approved modifications to a section of the city's personnel and policy manual that describes employee benefits for full-time employees. The ordinance was passed as an emergency.
Council approved a liquor license and transfer request for Fostoria Pantry, from DPK Conrad Inc. to Great Scot.
Council President Doug Pahl appointed At-Large Councilman Brian Shaver to serve on the finance committee.
Second readings were given of an ordinance authorizing the city to negotiate a mutual aid agreement for fire protection with Hancock County, and amending the traffic control map in establishing a handicapped parking space at 151 E. Fourth St.
Council is to meet at 7:30 p.m. Feb. 18 at the municipal building.

This spring break, we took the kids on a road trip to a city just a 3.5 hour hop-skip away. Though it's a fairly big city and crazy close to our St. Louis digs, strangely I'd never been. While our two oldest were bummed that we weren't going somewhere more luxurious (Our high schooler let us know that our planned trip was pretty lame in comparison to the European jaunts of which his classmates bragged.), we decided to save some dough and keep our holiday fairly local. Kansas City is a pretty place that boasts more fountains than Rome–a fact I doubted when my husband enlightened me. After some 'sploring, it became clear that this was the case. Who knew this little city in Missouri was so pretty and sophisticated? It also appeared that the city itself was more densely populated than our own. Of course, maybe it's just the areas I saw.

When you have kids, the impending cost of their college education is like a giant, hairy elephant standing in the room, casting a shadow over your financial future. When you have three kids, that elephant gets even bigger and hairier. Unfortunately for us, our financial situation up to this point hasn't allowed for us to make saving for our kids' college the priority it should be. After paying our bills and covering expenses, there has been barely enough to make ends meet. As such, we really have no college savings to speak of for our children up to this point. This isn't something we are proud of, but a problem that obviously needs to be corrected.
To make no bones about it, college is expensive. It has gotten much more expensive than it was when I graduated with a Computer Science degree in they year 2000. Even if my kids decide to go to an in-state public university (and I will strongly suggest this), the cost of college these days is enough to break any bank. The University of Missouri's website estimates in-state costs at $9,000 annually for tuition alone, and over $22,000 annually after room, board, books, and other expenses are factored. This means that the cost of a four year bachelor's degree can approach six figures, which is staggering.

It seems like everyone I know has a wooden plaque in their home with a list of family rules. Always be kind. Say thank you. Forgive. Laugh often. I wondered what it would look like to have a plaque with only money rules. What would yours include? Here's what mine would look like:
1.) If you're sorting or folding someone else's laundry and find money, congratulations! It's now your money.
2.) It is your job to keep your room and bathroom clean. You also have to complete your chores to my satisfaction, not yours, and in a timely manner. If your shared bathroom is a mess, no one gets any allowance.
3.) When you are doing a paid job for me, you are not a legal employee of mine. That means that your pay is subject to change and will if you give me any attitude about said job. Paid jobs are also to be completed to my satisfaction, not yours.

One thought before I talk about me,
I would like to thank all those people of my parents generation.
They endured the depression and WW2. Without their hard work and fortitude
all of this would not be possible. Thank You ! click for more info
link TO 100 years
I made this web when I ran for ARRL Idaho Section Manager back in 2006, I lost !!
so I added lots more pictures & changed some stuff and now its my on-line ham history.
Enjoy looking at the pictures, and remembering how it was in the ""good old days"".
Note: UR good old days might be happening right now, so make the best of them !!!!!
This is a tale about Me, and Ham Radio. It's been my hobby for a long time,
I'm no one extra special, not a world class DX'er, not on the DXCC honor roll, I
haven't developed anything that changed history, I'm just a ham that loves his hobby.
I've been blessed with a good life filled with Ham Radio and great ham friends.
Because I'm a ham, I had a good job for 30 years (I'm retired) , I met my wife of 30+ years, (still married).
My entire life has revolved around Ham Radio ....................
I would like to thank my parents for spending their hard earned money on my radios
and insisting I got an Associates Degree in electronics. (Central Technical Institute , KC MO)
Don't stop here, there's lots more pictures down the page. Contact John: k0ip((at))ida.net , phone 208 251 6441

John Wilson KØIP
raised in Shawnee
I've been interested in radio since I was in grade school, I
loved to tune around on my aunt's old 40's upright radio back in Lenexa , out on the back porch. What a kick, VOA or maybe Radio Moscow softly floating in and out of the noise.
You might remember, back in the 50's when life was simple,
being there on a warm summer evening, out there on the back porch
with that old radio.
Back when even AM broadcast band DXing was great fun.
They spoke English & played rock & roll on AM.
by the way, there were very FEW FM stations, FM was a new frontier.
the first stereo FM broadcast happened june 1961..
I got one of those Popular Electronics magazine,
SWL calls, WPEØANT..
WNØDYU - 1962, Hallicrafters HT-40 &
what else was going on in 1962 ?? John F
Kennedy, president, the
Rolling Stones were brand new, as well
as the Beach Boys & the Beatles --
Telstar was launched ,
I've been active for 54 years.
Excluding the time I was in Vietnam
Sorry, no hamming from that war zone, however, during my 6 years in the USAF ,
I got to know some great HAMS, many became life long friends..
|I worked in the PMEL, Precision Measurement Equipment Lab, we repaired and
calibrated test equipment.
I was stationed at,
1. McCoy AFB, it's now Orlando international airport.. (MCO)
2. Takhli Royal Thai AFB, Thailand (HS6ADE) see picture below
3. Cam Ranh Bay - Vietnam
4. Edwards AFB Ca.
5. AFCENT (NATO) southern part of The Netherlands (PA9VW) see picture below
Life in the Air Force was a great time and a great learning experience.
After serving almost 6 years active duty, I felt it was time to get out ! and find something else to do...
After my discharge, I stayed and worked in Holland for Elektor Publishers for about
2 years.
I was on the English Editorial Staff. I'm sure my High School English teacher(s) are 'rolling in their graves', just thinking about me doing anything with English!.
Uitgeversmaatschappij Elektuur B.V. Beek (L) The Nederland's. http://www.elektuur.nl/
I then landed a good job with Union Pacific Railroad !
I've been busy with the
Pocatello Amateur Radio Club since
1979 when I was transferred to
Union Pacific Railroad. I worked in the communications department. I was hired by K Ø I J,
mainly because as a young ham I had a Model 15 Teletype in my bedroom, I had some idea how it worked.
I was hired to repair Teletype's, back then the Railroad still used Model 28, 35 & 37 Teletype machines.
But times were changing fast and those old Teletypes didn't stay around long. UPRR used thousands of Model 40's for years..
I still have two Model 28's in my shack.
I retired from the Union Pacific Aug 2007, with 30 years of service.
After retiring from the Railroad, I , at the advise of a friend
(?) , went
off for a months training to become a ships Radio Officer,
I got my second class radio TELEGRAPH license, GMDSS maintainer & operators license, and the STCW training, I became a
US Merchant Marine Officer (USGC), joined a union hoping for a 3 month job, I didn't want a career, just a 'one off' 3 month cruise,
to see the world.. HI HI well that never happened, too far down the roster, so I applied for a job as an electronic technician with the
Military Sealift Command, one day they called said I was hired and ask when I could report to Norfolk, VA .. for a permanent job.. I ask
how long I might be on one of those military ships, answer 6 to 9 months,, well ??? I turned down the job offer.
I'm proud I was accepted, but that's a long time on a ship, and would have been a waste of my time and their money, it was
best to let someone that needed a job have it ..
I was transferred by UPRR to Pocatello Idaho, my home since 1979.
That year I met my wife Pat on Christmas eve at WB7SDR's QTH. (sk)
We had a daughter,,, she's all grown up now, Married, and
we have two grandson's. She graduated from ISU in 2007,
Her husband graduated in 2011. That's Idaho State University, here in Pocatello.
Then she graduated from the S.J. Quinney College of Law at the University of Utah,
with a Law Degree.. After a year in Montana as a public defender, she is now with the Bannock County
Prosecutors office. here in Pocatello, my wife is sure happy they moved back to Pocatello..
Back in 1999 I changed my call to KØIP. I operate a lot on 6 meters (DN32) and
like a good contests, any contest where Idaho is a multiplier. OK I admit it, I like being the DX !!!!
contests like ARRL 10 Meter, June VHF, SS I enjoy putting Idaho on the map.
I was sorry to see the end of the CW requirement, I was never a good CW operator, and seldom used it,
but it's part of Ham Radio, and it should be required. It was a sad day for Ham Radio when CW went away, ,
14 Feb 1991 is the day Ham Radio changed forever. Quite honestly the beginning of the end.
CW was "the" true indicator of a persons desire to be a ham.
With No Code, there are hundreds of thousands of licensees, but fewer & fewer hams.
Several years ago, I was part of the
Union Pacific 150 year anniversary "on the air" operation,
I haven't stopped hamming, I'm probably busier than ever. everyday is filled with Ham Radio.
I have so many pictures on this web I don't know if I should add more? in 2014 I was busy chasing the W1AW's around
the USA, Then by accident I found out I was worth 35 points, (ASM) so got on the radio working folks as fast as
possible for the Centennial points challenge. 6075 (LoTW) QSO's that counted for the Centennial points challenge,
in actual fact, Club Log shows my total Q's at 8333. The number 6075 only included ARRL members and NON-dupes,
some of you guys need to get a logging program, and use it,
might i gripe , I worked some of you 15 times on the same band and mode.. Driving me crazy, ,, Hey it was all fun ..
during 2014 I hosted W1AW/7 at my QTH we ran 20-15-10 meter SSB the first week and various bands
and modes the second week , a grand total 12450 Q's from my station as W1AW, with lots of help from many guest operators.
here's a link with details and pictures LINK : W1AW at KØIP's. I personally made 7774 Q's as w1aw/7 .
My Take on things , the state of ham radio :
As more and more of the Old timers go SK, especially those WW2 Vets and the 1950's crowd, the hobby is changing before our eyes, today
about 50% of those licensed are what I call Know Nothing Technicians. not No CODE, but NO Nothing .
They don't really want to be a Ham, they are only interested in emergency com for their church or other organizations (?),
most of them are totally inept, don't depend on your average technician to save you in an emergency,
they'll be lucky to save themselves, or be able to grab their British ""back sides"" with both hands ..
THEN the more curious group, those getting a license just to add it to a list, the list of other unused wallpaper on their resume' ???
Most of these people are never heard on the air, not even on 2 meters. I don't think most ever get a radio. STRANGE ??
Hopefully 1 in 100 might actually discover Ham Radio and HF and move on to better things than their Chinese HT.
FYI, 1% the sad fact is that 1% of 300,000 technicians is only 3,000. It might be different is some parts of the country,
but here in Idaho its depressing at best ;-(
It is unfortunate the FCC and others developed a DEAD END license class, the Technician ! enough said, now repeat after me...
10-4 good buddy and take another swig of that punch !! HI HI

Here's some pictures of me, doing
mostly "Hammy" things,
to enlarge the pictures -- just -- Click'em to make'm bigger
|HS6ADE, Thailand 1970, my first Collins a KWM-1
talking with my friend WØTM
(Gary) on the MARS phone patch from Takhli, he bought a KWM-1 at Associated Radio
(overland park, ks).
My dad built two custom wooden boxes, one for the radio , one for the PS. He APO mailed them
to me..
For whatever reason there was a tri-band beam at the PMEL building where I worked, who knows why it was there? It was pointed at the USA, no rotor. My boss let me setup my station on a shelf in the store room, This was actually a perfect place. I could run it there for lunch and "work a bunch".... hi hi
I was on the air for 6 weeks, working over 800 stations on SSB & CW. WOW, what pile-ups,, If I had been more industrious I could have worked 8000. But there were many too many two legged distractions downtown.. HI HI
Then the unexpected, I was transferred to Viet Nam..
Note: the KWM-1 had No RIT and no way to work Split. I worked a lot of CW because I could actually hear more that the ROAR of thousands of SSB signals at once. That J-38 Key is the same one I used as a Novice, it's the same key I use today.
|Play'n the fool,,-- Cam Ranh Bay, Viet Nam --
I couldn't transmit, but did some SWLing. I have to admit, I had a indoor 20 meter dipole strung up in the Hootch, and worked a few stations (maybe 10) "bootleg" with my Thai Call, but I really decided that wasn't fair, or legal, and who know what US listening station might have me in their cross hairs ,,
|1970 --
doing my job at the Cam Ranh Bay PMEL ! I worked on TACAN simulators,
including the AN/ARM22 . I calibrated and repaired hundreds of them! It seemed like
millions, it's a 4 piece heavy beast !! Note the "dolly". it broke down in 4 pieces for shipment.
WoW they gave me a rifle & bullets too! I made several cross
country trips to other Bases. thankfully, I never got shot at !
|Collins anyone ?? me and
W6ZSL (sk) Lancaster CA 1972
Don was a great friend and mentor.. south of Edwards AFB, CA -
Sunshine Rancho's subdivision. A great friend , his daughter custom made me that sweatshirt.
|PA9VW. While I was stationed at Edwards
AFB I purchased my second Collins radio,
an S-Line I got it from Henry Radio in Anaheim. I took it to my next assignment, Holland. When I returned to the USA, I sold it to my friend ON8PO, His First Collins.
now he's probably the largest Collins and Military radio collector in the world.

|A Central Electronics CE-20A with the command
transmitter converted as a VFO,
I had a CE 600L with one 813. a CV57 receiving converter and a Teletype Model 15.. WOW, great fun, you could find UPI or AP transmitting 60 WPM News day & night. That old Model 15 had a workout for many years.... The SP-600 was from MARS and with a CE Sideband Slicer, it was a great receiver.. Lots of other WW2 military receivers,, Hey,, the more the merrier !! RIGHT ??, I used an AN/ARC-1 for 2 meter MARS, using the dynamotor and lots of 24V. This is what I call REAL HAM RADIO
|My favorite contests is the ARRL June VHF.. In Idaho its not always a tropical paradise. In 2002 I
almost froze __ NOT GOOD.. Just cold, and LOTS of wind (note white
What I won't do for a few extra contacts ! I must be nuts!
June in Idaho at 9000' is typically not a warm place..
in 2007 we used mother nature to keep the beer cold, that's W4OV standing guard..
I have to admit, I've quit mountain topping, too much work, sometimes way too few
contacts. good thing for beer, in 2007 we only worked 5 stations via E skip. FIVE !!

|In 2003 things were perfect, the propagation gods
were good to us, we worked 400+ stations. on 6, 2,

|Here's a little story that I think is so appropriate
|Final Thought for the next generation of hams
At birth we board a train and meet our parents. We
believe they will always travel by our side. However, at
some station, our parents will step down from the train,
leaving us on this journey alone.
As time goes by, other people will board the train, and they
will be significant - siblings, friends, the love of your life, children,
and many others. Some will step down and leave a permanent
vacuum. Others will go so unnoticed that we won't realize they
vacated their seats.
The train ride will be full of joy, sorrow, fantasy, expectations,
hellos, good-byes, and farewells. A successful ride requires
having a good relationship with all passengers. We should give
the best of ourselves.
The mystery to everyone is, we do not know at which station
we ourselves will step down. So, we must live in the best way,
love, forgive, and offer the best of who we are. It is important
to do this because when the time comes for us to step down
and leave our seat empty we should leave behind beautiful
memories for those who will continue to travel on the train of life.
I wish you a joyful journey on the train of life. Reap success
and give lots of love.
Lastly, I thank everyone I know for being a passenger
on my train.
If this is your idea of ham radio, (note HT)
GET A LIFE and GO AWAY
This page is dedicated to all those Hams I knew that have gone SK , especially
to our veterans,
those WW2 guys were really what made Ham Radio a great hobby which lead to a great profession .
