Editor's Corner
Ron Rowland
The Federal National Mortgage Association (FNMA), better known as Fannie Mae, and the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation (FMCC), better known as Freddie Mac, are Government Sponsored Enterprises ("GSEs"). Although they are not actual government entities, they have historically enjoyed a public perception of being so. Many investors treated their bonds as though they were backed by the full faith and credit of the U.S. government. In fact, the media usually portrayed the securities of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac as having an implicit government guarantee.
As their names imply, these firms are in the mortgage business, and the financial crisis of 2007 and 2008 brought their survivability into question. They were on the brink of bankruptcy in 2008. At one point, the government was thinking it might take over the firms. Alternatively, it was considering making their "implicit" guarantee an "explicit" one with a $5 trillion backing.
In September 2008, both Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac were placed into conservatorship, which was viewed as one of the most sweeping government interventions to ever be undertaken in the financial markets. The firms issued new senior preferred stock and common stock warrants to the Treasury, essentially making the Treasury 80% owners, and dividends on previously issued securities were suspended indefinitely.
Despite the dire outlook for those prior securities, many fund managers decided to gamble and loaded up at discount prices. In 2012, Congress amended the terms of the bailout. Referred to as the Third Amendment, it allowed Treasury to have nearly all future profits from the two firms.
Meanwhile, fund managers decided to file various lawsuits (about 20 in all) against Fannie and Freddie, charging breach of contract in regards to dividends, liquidation preferences, and future profits. Today, U.S. District Court Judge Roy Lamberth rejected the claims on the first of those lawsuits, stating the 2012 amendment "requires Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac to pay a quarterly dividend to Treasury equal to the entire net worth of each" entity, minus a small reserve that shrinks to zero over time.
In other words, the Judge told investors their lawsuits (and anger) are misdirected. Instead of suing Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac for following the Third Amendment, they should be suing Congress for passing the law. Stay tuned. This one is not over. Stock prices of both firms were about 35% lower in today's trading.
Sector categories continue to weaken with five more moving into the red this week. The newcomers' momentum scores went from being slightly positive to slightly negative. Although the changes were small, it was enough to reverse the direction of their momentum. Health Care kept its top ranking, a position it has now held for five weeks. Technology maintained its second-place ranking, although its momentum score dropped down to single digits. Consumer Staples and Financials swapped positions, with the defensive nature of Consumer Staples giving that sector the edge. The Financials sector is barely clinging to a positive trend and will likely be the next to turn negative. The five categories that moved to the red occupy the fifth through ninth places and consist of Materials, Telecom, Utilities, Consumer Discretionary, and Industrials. Real Estate was the only sector to not lose momentum over the past week, although it didn't gain any either and will have to be content with its "unchanged" status. Energy continued to weaken and fell further into negative territory.
The relative strength ordering of the style categories is unchanged from a week ago and continues to indicate a defensive posture. Capitalization is the predominate characteristic determining relative strength, with the largest stocks showing the most resilience in this market. Growth has an edge over Value within each capitalization strata. Mega Cap is on top, followed by Large Cap Growth, Large Cap Blend, and Large Cap Value. They are the only four style categories able to avoid negative momentum scores this week. The three Mid Cap categories were in the green a week ago, but they now find themselves on the red side of the ledger. The four categories representing the smallest capitalization stocks were the only ones in the red last week, and they have now moved into deeper downward trends. Small Cap Value is on the bottom.
Once again, the U.S. is the only global category with positive momentum, although it is in jeopardy of joining the other regions in negative territory. The cap-weighted benchmarks used in our rankings allow the U.S. to post a positive score despite the fact the majority of its sectors and styles are in negative trends. Japan held relatively steady in a volatile week, which allowed it to move up a notch to second place. World Equity fell to third due to weakness outside of U.S. markets. China, Canada, EAFE, and the U.K. maintained their third through seventh place rankings, although they all increased the magnitude of their negative trends. Europe had a bad week, but it's not immediately obvious from its two-position climb in the rankings. Sometimes relative strength just means "less weak" than the others. Emerging Markets and Latin America are two such "others" that dropped in the rankings with Latin America feeling the most pain. Pacific ex-Japan is on the bottom for a second week
[The Third Amendment may] "raise eyebrows, or even engender a feeling of discomfort, but any sense of unease over the defendants' conduct is not enough to overcome the plain meaning" [of the language of the law].

Replacement Teeth
A denture or a complete denture as it is often called, is an appliance that is inserted in the mouth, replaces natural teeth and provides support for the cheeks and lips.
Most dentures are made of acrylic and can be fabricated two different ways.
- A conventional denture is made after all the teeth have been extracted and the tissues (gums) have healed.
- An immediate denture is fabricated and inserted immediately after the teeth are extracted and the tissues are allowed to heal under the denture.
- An upper denture is made from acrylic and is usually the same color as the gums. it often covers the palate (roof of the mouth).
- A lower denture, also made of acrylic, is shaped like a horseshoe to leave room for the tongue.
The teeth are made of plastic, porcelain or a combination thereof. Dentures can be fabricated to fit over endodontically treated teeth and a complete denture can be attached to dental implants to allow for a more secure fit of the appliance.
Over the course of time the jaw bone will slowly shrink and the gum ridges will recede due to the extraction of the teeth. This results in the dentures feeling loose. Sometimes the alignment of the upper and lower dentures can feel fof too. We recommend relining dentures in order to minimize looseness and to keep the jaw alignment normal.
Regular dental examinations are still important for the denture wearer so that the oral tissues can be checked for disease or change.

Communicate With Your Animals
My mother was in some ways a woman of the times. She hauled water from a well to feed and clean her children, as well as her home. She also made her own bread and jams from the local berries we picked. She also put up preserves for the winter and grew her own vegetables.
Just outside our backdoor was my mother's vegetable garden, and the shed where she had to take the wood from for the big kitchen stove. Daily, my mother would come out of the house to complete her chores, and to this present time and I can clearly recall a blue jay bird that used to squawk at her. It was not just idle chat on the blue jay's part. He would squawk, my mother would respond, and it always appeared as if he could completely understand what she was saying.
My siblings and I took it for granted that my mother could easily communicate with our fine feathered friends, and we assumed other people could do this as well. Read the rest of this entry »
Animal Afterlife
I was doing a remote viewing reading recently for a friend, whose golden retriever had gone missing, to see if I could locate the dog. I saw her in a pasture, near a barn. There happened to be a farm right up the road from my friend's house, so that is where she went.
She sent me a message later to let me know that she had found her Daisy, near a barn, like I had seen her. The owners had been trying to figure out who she might belong to. They had just taken a picture of her and was about to get posters made to share around, in hopes of finding her owner.
I was so happy for my friend, because she got Daisy four years ago, after her previous dog, Honey, had passed. Honey lived for nearly 8 years, before passing due to health issues. They were so connected, and she has always felt that Daisy and Honey have many similarities. She even felt at times that Honey's spirit may have reincarnated through Daisy. Honey also looked just like Daisy, both golden retrievers. Read the rest of this entry »
Losing Chopper
I have been putting off writing this blog. It still hurts to write about losing my dog, Chopper, in October of 2016. It stays with me. Clearly, I am not over this loss. If a dog can be a soulmate, Chopper was one of mine. Is this a metaphysical topic for a metaphysical blog? I would say yes. How much more spiritual can building a loving relationship with another creature be? And them allowing you to sit with them while they pass?
I met Chopper when he was two years old. He was at a shelter a couple of hours away from my home. His foot was injured from trying to paw his way out of the kennel and he had non-contagious mange. He smelled awful! Read the rest of this entry »
Asking Your Angels For Assistance
"You have four beautiful angels with you, and you aren't even communicating with them!" These were the words of another psychic at a psychic fayre I was working at several years ago. I had never met him prior to this particular event, and he shouted those words at me as I was walking through the entrance towards my designated work table, to get ready to set up.
And he was so right. As much as I still vividly recalled my vision of angels when I was nine years old, and as much as I was using angel cards in my own readings, and constantly telling my client aware of the angels all around us, I hadn't been speaking much with my own angelic team.

The Paranormal Power Of Cats
Cats are often depicted in ancient Egyptian art and artifacts. The Egyptians actually worshiped cats as gods, and believed that they took on a spiritual importance. They were considered to be a sacred animals with magical powers.
Ancient Egypt was said to be one of the most advanced civilizations in human history, capable of architecture, that by today's standards would be difficult, if not impossible to construct. But, did they also possess otherworldly knowledge that has been forgotten?
Some myths and folklore also claim that cats can walk in and out of the spirit world with great ease and at will. It was also believed that when a house cat would disappear, with no plausible explanation, that it had found a portal to the other worlds and is exploring them and will return just a mysteriously as it had disappeared.

Healing With Music And Sound
"Music hath charms to soothe the savage breast, to soften rocks, or bend a knotted oak," wrote William Congreve in his classic poem, The Mourning Bride. He seems to have understood that music can soothe anyone who might be be stressed out, overwhelmed, anxious or depressed.
Studies indicate that music and sound heal us in a multitude of way, perhaps even at the cellular level. Long-term patients, nursing home residents, and chronically depressed people have been found to experience healing through sound.
Ancient cultures from Egypt to Japan to Australia used the secrets of healing sound. What these long-ago people instinctively knew, we now attribute to the effect of certain wavelengths upon our brains to calm, relax, and heal. As with acupuncture, these sounds may be able to reset our internal balances and remove negative energies. Read the rest of this entry »
Pets In Heaven
It is a very sacred experience having pets here on your earth dimension. as it opens up many opportunities for you to continue with your expansion and your evolution here on this planet. There is a purity and sanctity in their love for you that you will find no place else.
Your pets bring many gifts and blessings to you, helping you to stay present in your life, in your day and if you are able to bring your pets to work on occasion, if at all, this is a very healing experience for you both.
Julie is quite privileged to be able to work at home. In the beginning, her pets were quite an annoyance as she went about busily with her tasks, but as she began to open up to the idea of being more present, more aware and not so caught up in the busy-ness of doing, she began to realize a great opportunity that her pets presented to her.

When Angels Approach
It's no surprise that angels are always around. After all, they are immortal, timeless, and beyond time and space as we know it. They come to guide and comfort us in the times of our greatest need, without even being asked.
But how do we know when they're especially near? Do they appear in the ways we're used to seeing in movies and television shows? Not quite. It's a little more subtle than that.
Look for the signs. One object automatically associated with angels is, of course, feathers. Yes, they do have wings! If you start to find feathers, especially soft, downy white or grey ones, in places they wouldn't ordinarily be found, that's clue number one. The same is true for random sparks, or flames. These can be anything from a brightly colored individual flame to a glowing bubble or orb. Read the rest of this entry »

Fri July 21st Lecture with Franklin Habit
The lecture will be held at the Wagner House at 1 E Spring St, Freeport, IL 61032. Free to the public, any donations for Halos of Hope will be graciously accepted. Please see the registration page to sign up for this lecture.
7 pm Franklin Habit Lecture – Impractical Magic: Oddities and Curiosities of Weldon's Practical Needlework.
Beginning in the 1880s, and for decades thereafter, the editors of Weldon's Practical Needlework provided an enormous audience of amateur craftswomen with patterns for garments designed to be warm, strong, long-lived and, well, practical. But Weldon's had another side, too. A side that proposed the knitting of covers for tennis balls, of knitting whips for children, and of covering open flames with crinkled tissue paper. In this illustrated talk–not for the faint of heart–we'll take a look at what our great-great-grandmothers got up to after they'd already knit a sufficiency of Socks for Invalids.Warning: May induce seizures in persons with good taste.
Sat July 22nd Classes with Franklin Habit
There are only 20 spots in each class.
To register please call Wall of Yarn at 1+815-616-8402 today
The classes will be held in a private room at the Wagner House at 1 E Spring St, Freeport, IL 61032
Morning Class 9 am – 12 pm
Introduction to the History, Methods, and Styles of Lace Knitting
Session length: 3 hours
Class fee: $45 (non-refundable as 50% is a charitable donation)
Class Description: In this session we'll examine the fundamental principles and techniques of knitting's grandest tradition. Students will learn about the history of lace knitting, and the development of the art in three parts of the world (Russia, Estonia, and the Shetland Islands) in which the craft was developed to the highest level of artistry. We will not only discuss, but practice and play with some of the methods and motifs that distinguish each of these traditions, and view beautiful examples of lace both modern and antique. Whether you are merely curious about lace or a devoted practitioner, there will be something for you to enjoy.
Participants should be familiar with the basic of knitting (casting, binding off, knitting, purling, yarn over, decreasing); and willing to work from charts.
Required Materials
One ball smooth (non-fuzzy), sport- or worsted-weight (example: Cascade 220, Cascade 220 Sport, Universal Yarns Deluxe Worsted, Dale Baby Ull, or any similar yarn) in white or a light solid color. Wool or another non-slippery animal fiber is recommended. If you cannot handle wool or do not knit with animal fibers, select a fiber that pleases you.
One pair straight needles (8″ or longer) or circular needle (16" or 24" suggested length)–in whatever size will give you a drapey gauge in the yarn of your choice; this will likely be larger than you would select for knitting plain stockinette.
Notions: Scissors, yarn needle, stitch markers (6), pen (or pencil) and paper for making notes. (note-taking is highly advised!) Row counter recommended, but optional.
Afternoon Class 2pm – 5pm
Working with Antique and Vintage Knitting Patterns
Session length: 3 hours
Class fee: $45 (non-refundable as 50% is a charitable donation)
Class Description: Don't let the tiny type and archaic language fool you: there's a goldmine of beautiful, functional designs waiting to be rediscovered within the pages of Victorian and Edwardian books and magazines. What's more, learning to work with old patterns will make you a stronger knitter–better able to cope with and troubleshoot any pattern. In this session, we'll discuss the history of published patterns; the selection of appropriate yarns and needles; methods for deciphering arcane recipes; and "reverse engineering" from photographs and extant pieces. You don't need to be a historian or re-enactor to enjoy this class–just a knitter with a curious mind.
1 ball smooth DK, sport, or worsted weight yarn (i.e., Dale Baby Ull, Hikoo Simpliworsted, Cascade 220 Sport or Worsted, Universal Yarns Deluxe Worsted) in white or a light color
1 pair straight needles or 1 circular needle, size 4–4.5 mm or size appropriate to your choice of yarn
Notebook and pen or pencil for making notes (important!).

|VARIOUS and SUNDRY AUTOGRAPHED MATERIAL
|Home | Multi-Signed | 5 Most Historic Flt's | Moonwalkers | 1st 43 | In Memory | Other | Yuri Gagarin-1 | Yuri Gagarin-2 | Forgeries
Presented here is an assortment of various autographed space material - From Yuri Gagarin to the International Space Station
|Apollo 13 flown material from Aquarius and Odyssey
As mementos of the spacecraft that saved their lives, the Apollo 13 crew removed netting material from doomed Lunar Module Aquarius. After safely returning to Earth, couch material was removed from Command Module Odyssey, that they returned to Earth in, and this flown material was later affixed to specially prepared cards that were presented to various personnel involved in the successful rescue of the Apollo 13 crew from their near-fatal lunar mission.
The two cards shown on the left are two of the many that were specially prepared to be presented as a way of thanking the many NASA and contractor personnel who were involved in the rescue of the Apollo 13 crew. The top card has netting attached that was a part of LM Aquarius and the bottom card has couch material that was removed from Odyssey. Both cards are personally signed by the crew of Lovell, Haise & Swigert, plus the KSC launch Director, Walter Kapryan.
These cards generally had the name of the individual applied that they were presented to, but these failed to be used in that manner. Instead, they were probably excess cards not used and then stored away & even probably forgotten about by a NASA official who was probably involved in their distribution. He was Tony Broadway and his widow contacted space collector-dealer Ken Havekotte in the late 1980's inviting him to go through her late husband's space belongings stored in her garage in Florida. There Ken discovered a number of these Apollo 13 "flown" cards, which is the origin of these two particular cards shown here.
|Letter from Fred Haise concerning the Apollo 13 flown material
This excellent handwriten letter from Fred Haise resulted from my inquiry to him about the two cards I owned that had Apollo 13 spacecraft material attached. Mr. Haise kindly took time to inform me in this 2000 letter about the material and, significantly, it came from one of the Apollo 13 astronauts & who was also involved in the creation of the cards.
Contained in this fascinating & informative letter, is the comment that Mr. Haise was actually the one who personally removed the protective netting from LM Aquarius, stating: "I pulled it loose from the restraining straps or snaps before we abandoned Aquarius."
There exists a relatively large number of these Apollo 13 cards with flown material affixed from Aquarius & Odyssey & they are seen occasionally. The most significant thing about these cards is that they have attached actual pieces of the two spacecraft, unlike most collector-owned space flown material that was usually carried aboard & stored away to serve as souvenirs & gifts.
|Apollo 13 crew signed lithograph
I obtained the crew's autographs on this standard and official Apollo 13 crew litho TTM (Through the mail) in the late '70's or early '80's. Another crew photo, picturing the original Apollo 13 crew in Apollo white spacesuits & including original Apollo 13 crew member Ken Mattingly, also was taken. But because of his exposure to German Measles just days before the launch, Mattingly was replaced by back-up Command Module Pilot Jack Swigert, who flew in Mattingly's place with Mattingly later flying on Apollo 16.
|Cosmonaut Yuri Gagarin
On April 12, 1961, Russian Yuri Gagarin became the first man in space. He led the way into space for the more than 500 people who have flown in space since his one orbit flight.
It's my opinion that one of the necessary parts of any space autograph collection would be a genuine Yuri Gagarin autograph. This is mine and it took me many years before I found one that I was confident was authentic. I bought it in 2001 from a dealer on eBay and his reputation and the autograph's provenance gave me confidence to finally add a Gagarin autograph to my collection.
I'm one of many who believe that the majority of Gagarin signatures in existance are bogus - either forgeries or officially sanctioned "secretarial" signatures that were applied by others to the bulk of autograph requests that Gagarin received for a while after his historic flight - a flight that made him the most famous person in the world for a time. (See "Yuri Gagarin-1" and "Yuri Gagarin-2" for much more information on Gagarin's autograph).
|Mercury Redstone-3 "Freedom 7" Liftoff
This is one the most famous photographs from the US space program. It pictures the MR-3 Redstone rocket at liftoff, and carries astronaut Alan Shepard aboard Freedom 7. MR-3/Freedom 7 resulted in America's first manned spaceflight, but Russian Cosmonaut Yuri Gagarin had achieved man's first orbital spaceflight less than a month earlier. But Shepard's modest 15-minute sub-orbital spaceflight did signal America's entry and start into the space race to the moon.
Alan Shepard nicely and kindly autographed this glossy photo of the event and also added the name of his spacecraft and the date that America's manned space program began: "5/5/61."
NOTE TO COLLECTORS: Alan Shepard signed and personalized this glossy photo and added under his signature "Freedom 7/ 5/5/61." Many collectors and dealers prefer photos without any personalizations and this particular glossy would be much more desirable, and valuable, without the personalization. So, this being a slick paper glossy, it is possible, even easy, to remove the "To Mary" with a liquid chemical and end up with a much more desirable Alan Shepard signed MR-3 launch glossy with only the great "Freedom 7/ 5/5/61" inscription included.
Then why not remove the personalization? Since I own it I am free to do whatever I wish with it, of course. But many collectors, me included, feel that artificially removing part of what Shepard intended would constitute tampering and be wrong. But this doesn't stop others who are more interested in the monetary side of astronaut autographed material. Removing personalizations from glossies is a common practice for dealers and for those with intentions to sell the item (Removing the "To Mary" personalization would increase its value about 50%). But often the ink is removed but a tell-tale impression is left in the tampered-with glossy. So collectors should use a magnifying glass to check for impressions left in glossies without a personalization but having an open area where a personalization may have been.
|"God Speed, John Glenn"
Those famous words, spoken by CapCom Scott Carpenter at the moment of liftoff of Mercury-Atlas 6 with John Glenn inside the Friendship 7 Mercury capsule, are probably one of the 3 or 4 most historic and well-known quotes to come from the US manned space program. Those words were Carpenter's way of bidding John Glenn goodbye and good luck in his dangerous and historic attempt to accomplish America's first orbital spaceflight.
|Letter flown and written aboard the International Space Station
Presented here is a letter flown and written aboard the International Space Station by ISS Expedition 9 Commander Gennady Padalka. Padalka and Mike Fincke were aboard during the 35th anniversary of the Apollo 11 moonlanding and Padalka quotes Neil Armstrong's famous words in his letter dated July 20, 2004. Three onboard cancels/cachets were applied to the letter, including the ISS postmark/cancel, and also applied to the letter was the Expedition 9 cancel/cachet and official ISS onboard cancel/cachet.
Of special note is the paper that Padalka used for this letter. He used the back of an EVA checklist page taken from an ISS onboard manual. The sheet is entitled "EVA Notes and Reminders" and concerns "Bolts 11/12 Alignment Features" and has three illustrations. Some of the printing and illustrations show through from the other side.
Gennady Padalka, Mike Fincke and this letter, and cover it was enclosed in, all returned to Earth onboard a Soyuz spacecraft after they were replaced by the Expedition 10 crew.
|Apollo 14 launch litho autographed by ten moonwalkers
My biggest collecting regret is my failure to get all 12 moonwalkers' autographs on one item. I collected through the '70's and '80's when having one item signed by all 12 moonwalkers was possible, but for various reasons failed to try. One thing that discouraged and prevented me from trying was the extreme risk of sending something thru the mail as many as 12 times and have it return each time or everything would be lost.
But belatedly, in about 1991, I did start and this autographed Apollo 14 launch litho is the result. It started out with Alan Shepard's signature and I originally thought of having it signed only by the Apollo 14 crew, but then just started sending it TTM to other moonwalkers to get as-many-as-possible of the 12. It's nicely signed/inscribed by 10 moonwalkers and makes for an impressive item in my collection, but it's also somewhat of a sad reminder of what should or could have been.
I know of a few collectors who tried to get an item signed by all 12 moonwalkers and one collector had a very sad result. In the late-'80's, he sent two lithos previously signed by a number of moonwalkers to Dave Scott, who had been inconsistant about signing, and they never returned. One of his lithos had 8-9 moonwalkers signatures and could have probably been completed later by all 12 if it had returned.
My litho signed by 10 moonwalkers was mostly accomplished by TTM requests, but two autographs were acquired in person: Buzz Aldrin in 1996 while on his "Tiber" book tour and Gene Cernan in 1999 while on his "Last Man on the Moon" book tour.
So my moonwalker signed litho has signatures of 10 moonwalkers but it still lacks autographs of moonwalker #1, Neil Armstrong, and deceased moonwalker Jim Irwin.
|"Full Moon" lithograph autographed by 14 of the 24 Apollo Lunar astronauts
I obtained this "Full Moon" lithograph from Galaxy Space Autographs in 1999 and it came with autographs of 12 of the 24 Apollo Lunar astronauts. Since then I have met Gene Cernan and had him add his autograph and recently Ken Mattingly added his. It now bears autographs of 14 of the 24 astronauts who took part in the eleven Apollo missions to the moon.
Those autographing include 7 of the 12 moonwalkers, plus two of the three Apollo 8 crew members, Frank Borman and Jim Lovell. Some enterprising collectors have had Buzz Aldrin, John Young, Dave Scott and Mike Collins add their autographs to their Galaxy "Full Moon" lithos. Some of these "Full Moon" lithos must have autographs of 19 or 20 of the 24. Of note, either Aldrin's or Collins' autograph added to the original 12 would result in an item autographed by at least one crew member from all 11 Apollo Lunar flights.

I loooove jelly beans.I love that they are gluten free.They are natural and delicious.They are so chewy which i like.
MY FAVORITE! I ate these at school all the time as a little snack. However, there's only a small number of jelly beans in each snack pack, which is the downside. Totally worth your money, though!
This is my favorite brand for jelly beans. They all have a great flavor. With other brands I end up picking out the ones I don't like.
My child loves anything sour!!! Definitely going to look for them next time I go shopping they seem a lot healthier than regular jelly beans!
These are a great snack for on the road. I usually always have a bag of these when going on road trips.
I don't know if the bag I had was old or if what I had was normal, but these just tasted so weird. They all left a weird after taste in my mouth. Not something that I would spend money on, but I would eat them if it was all I had.
This is like eating sour patch kids but in jellybean form! perfect amount to snack on
I love anything sour but I have never tried this kind and I would love to try it.
My son loves these and there natural!! Perfect for that on the go snack. Perfect size to fit in your bag
I love the ingredients that are in this product, I Love the taste and price. I usually purchase the single packs from a local smoothie king and they are great.
Where can I buy these?
I have never seen these before are they good?
How do they taste , are the sweet also?
Where do they sell these at??
Do these contain a lot of sugar?

Happiness, now 25% off. Icons of modern consumerism, the shopping mall is and will always be the best place to squander our youth. We are mallrats.
Wednesday, August 09, 2006
Oh my god, they killed Park Lane. You bastards!
Read the full story.
The loss of another mall is a sad day in retail history. The opening of The Summit Sierra surely was the nail in the coffin of this mall. Speaking of coffin, since this mall is listed as haunted, what happens to the ghost? Will it inhabit the new structure? Maybe move in to Gottschalks? =
Please share your memories of Park Lane here.

I don't know much about Park Lane, but I hate to see another mall die.
- Georob said...
Mallrat put it best in his review when he said that Park Lane probably wouldn't survive in a larger area.
I know little of the Reno market, but it would appear that Park Lane probably should have disappeared a long time ago and probably would have had Gottschalks not stepped in. (I'm assuming they took over the Sears spot)
Yes, it would have been great to see them pick up stores like Old Navy, Ross, and the like. But those retailers and any smaller tenants attracted to them are likely going to want visibility from the parking lot, making the existing design impratical.
Had the mall remained an outdoor faclity, it would have been much easier to renovate via a partial teardown.
- BIGMallrat said...
I think Gottschalk's took over the old Weinstocks and they just knocked the Sears down. I can't be sure, but that's how I remember it.
I wonder what will happen with Shopper's Square across the street and the dead mall, Reno Town Mall, just down the street.
- Georob said...
I looked at an aerial of Park Lane on Google Earth, and it would appear that there is an open area with a path running through it leading to what I assume is the theatre complex. I'm guessing that is where Sears was.
I'd love to know why Sears left. Sears stores quite often stay put no matter what happens to the rest of the mall. (Florin Mall is an example) In fact, I know of a mall in Houston, TX(Westwood) that was converted entirely to an office complex EXCEPT FOR SEARS which is still there to this day.
With TWO anchors,(Sears and Gottschalks) Park Lane could have stood a better chance, though it wouldn't have gotten the theatre.
Which brings me to this question. We see a lot of older malls acquiring multiplexes as anchors, yet they very often wind up separate and across the parking lot from the main mall. You'd think that these theatres could attract restaurants and other tenants to the adjacent mall spaces if they were actually PART of the mall itself.
Is it a security issue, or the theatres wanting parking lot frontage? Either way, those don't sound like insurmountable design challenges to me.
- BIGMallrat said...
That is a good question. When they put a cinema in Bayfair Mall, it's so far away, you might as well drive from the mall. You'd think the mall would want the people to walk over and eat/shop before or after a movie. That may explain why the food court in Bayfair is dead.
Park Lane did the same thing... and yes, taking the old Sears land. I once found a picture showing a plan for an expanded Park Lane, with the mall being pushed out, and curved, to the cinema. Although, the expansion may not have been enclosed. It probably would have had the usual power center restaurants (Texas Roadhouse, etc). In fact, we may still see something similar in a new shopping center that may replace Park Lane.
One place where the cinema was done properly: Eastridge Mall. The lines for movies stretches into the mall, which gives lots of exposure to nearby shops and the food court.
Sometimes they do it right, sometimes not.
- Georob said...
I tried to dig up some history on Park Lane and...
Did you know back in 1999, that Max Baer Jr.(that's right, Jethro!) looked into buying Park Lane to develop a Casino/Hotel on the property? I can just see it now....
JETHRO: Hey Uncle Jed, I just done bought me a SHOPPIN' MALL
JED: Welllll Doggies! Now don't you go tearin anything down until we talk to Mr. Drysdale.
Unfortunately, Uncle Jed is no longer around to talk the new owners out of tearing down Park Lane.
- Barbara said...
As a resident of Reno for 25 yrs, I remember its having been an outdoor mall to begin with, really our only mall in those days. There was a charming little Matterhorn bakery and we did all our Christmas shopping there. I think it could have survived where it is, if all the big name stores had not decided to chase the new housing which by its nature is moving further out from the center of town.

Vendor Newsletters | June 2012
Businesses frequently use fixed wireless circuits as their primary broadband access solution. However, since Internet access has become the lifeblood of so many companies already using wireline access solutions (T1, Ethernet over Copper, etc.), many are turning to fixed wireless as a back-up measure to support business continuity and network redundancy.
The majority of Internet access outages are due to problems with local access, usually involving accidental fiber cuts or issues with shared copper wiring during inclement weather. So it makes a lot of sense for Internet-dependent businesses to use fixed wireless back-up circuits as a failover measure for local access continuity. After all, if Internet access is interrupted, there can be significant impact on productivity, sales and revenues. Read more
Wi-Fi and Mi-Fi in the Workplace
In the United States, Wi-Fi connections account for more than 37 percent of digital traffic over mobile phones and about 90 percent of Internet access from tablets, according to an Accenture article in Outlook.
These statistics point to the growing importance of Wi-Fi as a consumer tool, but many experts — including consultants in Accenture's technology group — are convinced that business enterprises in energy, utilities and healthcare industries will increasingly utilize Wi-Fi in the workplace and beyond the office environment.
Accenture cites Marathon Petroleum as an example. The company recently implemented a solution that integrates Wi-Fi, location-based technologies and small gas detectors worn on a jacket or shirt lapel to remotely monitor incidents involving its employees over a facility covering nearly 1,000 acres. Fixed Wi-Fi access points installed in trucks provide flexible coverage for workers moving around larger areas, and mobile units are connected to Marathon Petroleum's central communications room by cellular networks.

Here's the photo as it appeared in the newsletter.
Actually the pond, as it was called, was in an area known as Collendale, which after WWII was full of temporary buildings designed as housing and classroom space for the returning veterans who studied at Syracuse University under the GI Bill. Here's a map from 1949.
And an aerial from 1953 showing the pond at the right side of the image, just west of the five angled buildings.
The pond is still visible in this 1960 color map
But by 1962 when this map was drawn, it had been drained and had become a parking area for the new Manley Field House.
Here is an aerial showing the location today.

Experience Moot
Pretoria Moot is North of central Pretoria. It is bordered by Meintjieskop to the south, Skurweberg or Vlakkopies to the north. The Pretoria Moot area has a strong sense of community with generations returning to live in the unique 'urban village' setting. The current Home Owners and Residents Association strives to maintain the restful atmosphere and currently employs a private security company, on behalf of the residents, to aid with crime prevention. This is proving to be effective and is supported by the South African Police. This unique atmosphere and the semi – rural setting of the suburb contribute strongly to its ongoing popularity and good capital growth. A further unique factor is the Academic Hospital which is located 3kms beyond the area. A number of specialising doctors leave and arrive annually and seek to buy property close to the hospital for the period of their specialisation.

Few things would make Terry Deary, the children's author, disown his native city.
But he says that if even one of the 25 candidates fielded by the British National Party wins a seat in council elections next month, he will end his unofficial role as ambassador for Sunderland and Wearside.
"I will stop saying I am from Sunderland," said Mr Deary, 57, who champions his area during his travels around the world as the creator of Horrible Histories, which has been translated into 20 languages. "I wouldn't be able to feel proud any more."

Greetings CHCS Family,
We have some very exciting news to share with you. After many months of searching and many rounds of interviews, the Chattahoochee Hills Charter School has a principal! We are happy to announce that Walter Buttler will be starting on July 1st as Principal of CHCS.
We had an amazing first year, and we couldn't have done it without the support of many. First, we must acknowledge our two key administrators this year: Mrs. Jeanelle Greene Wright and Mr. Rick Lennert. Mr. Lennert and Mrs. Greene Wright stepped up to the challenge of leading our school and did not disappoint. Since February, they have both worked tirelessly to serve our mission, and, as a result, we've provided hundreds of children with an educational opportunity of a lifetime. We've asked Rick and Jeanelle to resume their previous leadership roles and to help us build a strong future for CHCS, and they've stayed on without reservation.
Second, we have to recognize our amazing teachers. They took on the challenge of our new school and we can't be prouder of the work they've done. We all see happy and healthy students every day who show up excited to learn and to be inspired by our natural world. And we're so happy that so many of our teachers are returning next year.
Finally, we need to thank each of you. We know that you placed your trust in us: the Board, the teachers, and the administration. The dedication and commitment you've shown to our school and our staff is overwhelming. Whether you volunteer in the classroom, help out around campus on work days, or put in nights and weekends with the PTO, this school would not be the success it is without your help. THANK YOU!
When we began the search for our next principal, it was our responsibility to get the best principal for our school and our students. We considered our current administrative team, and we also sought external candidates. We had over 30 people apply for the position from across the country. We built a special website for our recruitment efforts, and targeted advertisements and candidates that shared attributes with our mission
Candidates went through an extensive process: phone interviews, written assessments, and a grueling two-day interview process with every board member and members of our parent community. Those that made it through that process were invited to our school to be principal for the day while being observed by faculty and the board. We even had our Fourth Graders ask questions to each candidate, and they ask some tough questions!
We also solicited feedback from the teachers and surveyed them about their thoughts on the school and on the finalist candidates that visited CHCS as "Principal for the Day." We also surveyed several parents and looked for key issues from the 2014/2015 school year that had to be addressed before entering into the 2015/2016 year. All of that data was collected, measured, and deliberated upon in what our liaison at Fulton County Schools called one of the more rigorous processes she's ever heard of.
We understand that many of you were able to meet Mr. Buttler when he visited the school as a Principal Candidate. If you haven't met him yet, we will be hosting a meet-and-greet with Mr. Buttler in conjunction with our PTO. We hope you'll join us in welcoming him to the CHCS family.
To give you a sense of who he is as a leader, here are some of the things our staff had to say about him:
Mr. Buttler was very personable and eager to listen. He was great with the kids, patiently answering all of the questions they asked. He was very professional and courteous. He seemed genuinely interested in our school.
He came in our class, read a story, and taught a phonics lesson with our scholars. He also left a note with three encouraging bullet pointed compliments. He was very professional!
I liked that he had prior teaching experience and that he immersed himself into the classroom. He provided positive feedback to my teaching as well.
Mr. Buttler seemed very well prepared and professional. I felt he was the strongest candidate based on my interactions.
One other key sentiment from teachers and parents alike was the need for more communication. Both groups requested that communication, along with our curriculum and school culture, must be our primary focus as we enter into this 2015/2016 school year. We'll begin that soon, as we launch a new website with new tools for you to stay in touch with us, and for us to stay in touch with you.
In closing, we wanted to share some more exciting news. The school's foundation has received an anonymous $250,000 challenge donation to accelerate the agricultural mission of our school. Soon we'll couple our unique classrooms with an outdoor learning environment and farm that furthers our mission of inspiring children with the natural world. The plan that's hanging in the front office is about to come to fruition.
If you have any questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to contact us. Thank you for being incredible parents in the 2014/2015 school year. We're looking forward to an even more amazing 2015/16 school year.
Clay, Monica, Russ, Leroya, Rebecca, Warren, Xeron, Tim and Tom
The CHCS School Board

Sustainability Impact Assessments
The concept of sustainable development has gained tremendous popularity since Rio but is still challenging to consider in everyday political practice. The Parliamentary Advisory Council on Sustainable Development, in its opinion on the 2004 progress report on the National Sustainability Strategy of the Government of the Federal Republic of Germany, thus asked for an instrument to assess legislation on its sustainability. On 28 February 2007 the Parliamentary Advisory Council on Sustainable Development held a public hearing on the Sustainability Impact Assessment instrument, which aimed at discussing existing concepts for Sustainability Impact Assessments as well as their integration in parliamentary procedures.Read more

There is a rapidly growing body of literature analysing and discussing measures to achieve the integration of environmental concerns into other policy areas (environmental policy integration, EPI). The project aims to structure these findings and to identify avenues for future research.
The project focuses on two main themes:
- Is it possible to identify modes of governance which are typically used to promote EPI at particular levels, eg. local/regional, national, EU, global? If so, which governance modes are typically used at which levels Read more
