The Mobil 1 Twelve Hours of Sebring Presented by Fresh From Florida celebrates its 60th running this weekend, with Sebring International Raceway's tooth-loosening concrete runways hosting the opening round of the new-for-2012 FIA World Endurance Championship. This week, in our final story counting down to that milestone race, five-time winner Tom Kristensen looks back on his record-breaking Sebring victory tally – and ahead to potentially adding a sixth on Saturday, March 17.
The master of endurance
Tom Kristensen has earned the nickname of "Mr. Le Mans" for his record eight wins in the 24 Hours of Le Mans. But the French classic isn't the Dane's only record-setting race, as he also has the most overall wins at Sebring, with five in central Florida's grueling, 12-hour test of endurance.
Impressively, of those five, four have come with brand-new cars whose first serious test out of the factory was Sebring – talk about in at the deep end... The BMW V12 LMR kicked it off in 1999, and then three generations of Audis followed, with wins in the R8 in '00 (BELOW), the R10 TDI in '06 and R15 in '09. Sequentially, his third win capped the venerable R8's Sebring career in '05.
"The race has an enormous importance because you are coming into a new season," Kristensen says. "Of my five victories, all but one came with cars that had only been tested, not raced – and actually racing a car is a totally different challenge to just putting on miles in testing. Twelve hours is a long way on a track like Sebring, especially with a new car. This race lays down the fundamentals of the season and let's you know if you got it right…or didn't.
"The importance of the race has grown with the success of the ALMS, there is no doubt about that," he adds, noting that all five of his triumphs have come in the American Le Mans Series era at Sebring, now supplemented by the all-new FIA World Endurance Championship's season opener this year. "It was already a classic race, but with the ALMS it has a strong series behind it. There's no doubt it will grow again now it is a round of the world championship. Of course, I am very happy that it is part of the world championship."
Picking a favorite victory of the five, it turns out, is easier for Kristensen than merely answering with the default "every one was special" line.
"They are all good, but the first one is special because (BMW factory team) Schnitzer had to push hard to be there," he says of the 1999 win (RIGHT). "We'd had a lot of problems with the differential in testing, and at one point it looked like we might not go to Sebring, but we made it. I took the checkers after a nice fight [with Dyson Racing].
"The other favorite moment was in 2005 (BELOW), when we had our inter-Champion Racing fight for the whole race, and it was me and Allan [McNish] for the last couple of hours. I asked [technical director] Brad Kettler if he wanted a photo finish. He said, 'No, no, keep the hammer down.' They are my favorites because I was in the car for the finish at the end and we had close fights both times."
One time when he came second, in 2001, had an added poignancy as it was the last win for his Audi teammate Michele Alboreto, who died a month after the race in a testing accident in Germany. Alboreto co-drove with Kristensen's longtime co-driver Rinaldo Capello and Laurent Aiello.
"I had a nice fight with Capello," Kristensen recalls. "That was the time I got the penalty [for speeding in the pits]. This is also one of my favorites, but as the years go on you remember the victories more. I got done on pit-entry speed for the final stop. Thinking back, I think it was probably right. And, on the other hand, it is nice that Michele [Alboreto] won his last race."
As with most Sebring competitors, and winners, Kristensen understands the challenge of the track and mastering what essentially is a throwback circuit in the modern era.
"The circuit really is a step back in time," he says. "It's not so different to when Stirling Moss and Mario Andretti were driving around it. It's just been optimized. The bumps are as bad as everyone says. The big ones are on the concrete surface at T1 and T17.
"The track needs to keep its character, but it needs to be modernized in some ways. We know because we were there in December. The pit lane had been extended, so you can't go out wide, which means T1 will be slower."
Although Kristensen's Audi for this year's Sebring is the 2011-spec R18 TDI, not the manufacturer's new hybrid version set to premiere when the WEC returns to Europe, the data acquired and race mileage from Sebring is always good preparation for the other classic on the WEC calendar, Le Mans.
"The race is always at the beginning of your program leading up to Le Mans," he explains. "You can't run your complete Le Mans car but, for the mechanical side of the car, the engine and the gearbox, it gives the basics a damn good test because of the temperatures and the loads you get over the bumps."
The five-time winner is certainly a master of the track, and he seeks his sixth win in the 60th anniversary running with Capello and McNish in the No. 2 Audi R18 TDI. Others may covet glory, but to achieve it they need to overcome two huge challenges – the race track itself, plus that guy Kristensen.
The 60th Annual Mobil 1 Twelve Hours of Sebring Fueled by Fresh From Florida takes place at Sebring International Raceway, Fla., March 14-17. This year, adding even more luster to this classic event, the race is once again the opening round of a world championship – the 2012 FIA World Endurance Championship.

Before anything I feel so happy and proud and all grown up because people have actually asked me questions a good enough number of times for me to have a FAQ page. Okay moving on..
Are you Filipino?
Yes, as stated in my /about page.
What do you use to edit pictures?
I use Seashore.
Is that really you with Darren? You've met Darren Criss?
Yes, that's me. I met him in December last year.
Where did you get your Slytherin jacket?
I got it from a local mall here in the Philippines. My *~soulmate~* Chynna got it first and I practically copied her and searched for it in the department store.
You ship Dramione? Can you suggest me some fics?
I will be posting a Dramione fic rec soon, if I get around to it.

HAZELTON, Pa. (Official Wire) — Mitt Romney is trying to steer his bus tour back to middle-class economic issues as he visits three communities in Pennsylvania following a detour caused by President Barack Obama's new policy on the deportation of young illegal immigrants.
The presumptive Republican presidential nominee plans to keep up his focus on jobs and the economy, arguing that he's the candidate who will give average Americans a "fair shot" at prosperity.
Romney is targeting smaller cities and towns through the state's conservative midsection. He planned stops Saturday at a casting and machine company in Weatherly, a convenience store in Quakertown and an old iron furnace in Cornwall that's now a national historic landmark.
The tour is intended to challenge Obama in states where he's strong — the president won Pennsylvania in 2008, and no Republican has won the state since 1988. In 2008, Republican nominee John McCain won two of the counties Romney plans to visit.

Camping Laws and Locations
Hey all, I am looking to find out if anyone has any info on the camping laws in Alabama. Specifically for "primitive" camping. As in, pick a spot in the middle of nowhere and pitch a tent, etc. I know in Michigan you had to get a free permit from the DNR and attach it to a tree and couldn't be in one location for more than 15 days. Here in Florida where I am at they have designated "primitive" sites and you are SUPPOSED to camp anywhere else except campgrounds. (I think campgrounds are great for some things, but when I go camping I don't want to see any other people. I like to get away)
Also, does anyone have any good places to go in southern Alabama? If so, would you mind giving a few decent ones away to a fellow .org member? Feel free to PM it to me if you don't want it public and I promise to leave it as I found it minus whatever dead wood laying around I can find for a fire. Thanks in advance. -Aaron |

No one is sharing huh? I drove about 150 miles yesterday through Conecuh national forest and didn't find anything that looked appealing. Man, this part of the country sucks for this sort of thing. Guess I will keep searching.

Overcome your disclosure problems. By Steve Collings
Over the last few years the accountancy profession has become increasingly more and more bureaucratic, with much more emphasis being placed on disclosures and the overall way in which financial statements are prepared, from the big 'blue-chip' companies' right down to Jo Bloggs Joinery Company Ltd down the road.

I agree that this is a very useful and informative article. I was unaware that the basis of the stock valuation was required so that one point alone has helped me.
Just wondering though - what is the potential outcome of these errors and / or omissions being made? They are not going to be rejected for these type of mistakes when (from what I hear) 1 in 4 filed accounts contain more serious material error than disclosure omission.
Thank you for your feedback - I am pleased you have found this article helpful.
Thank you also to those that have rated it so highly - I very much appreciate that.
Kind regards
This is a succinctly written and informative article that will help all of us smaller practitioners with limited resources. I am one of those practitioners in the article that does not have reliable software but following this article have decided to jump ship and get some software.I for one did not realise that you had to disclose a controlling individual or charity donations so that is a lesson well learnt.
thank you for doing this for us it is appreciated.

I just finished reading GTD and don't understand the mechanics of how you relate the NA lists to the original projects lists generated by the in- basket filling and "triggering" ideas listing. Once you have your projects, figured out 2 or 3 next actions for a project, placed one on the appropriate NA list, and completed it, do you cross it off the NA list and immediately return to the projects list for the NA for that specific project? Where do you keep the other 1 or 2 NAs that you have figured out but haven't written on an NA list?
Also, where exactly do you keep the project source material- in a separate filing system from the alpha one?
Finally, are random notes about agendas and other writings kept in the reference system or with the project resources and do you integrate the project files in with the alpha filing system or keep them separate as well?

Things The Emmys Taught Us
The world's absolutely abuzz over news about the Emmy Awards, which are kind of like television's Oscars and very important. In case you missed them, here are some things you should know about the winners, the losers and the critics.
- Everyone loves Neil Patrick Harris. And how could they not? He came out singing cabaret and danced away with our undying love. Not that he didn't have it before. After this evening's turn as the show's host, we're pretty sure Harris should master the ceremonies of every Hollywood event ever.
- Kristin Chenoweth will soon be the hardest working woman in Hollywood. The adorable actress—once known mostly to the Broadway crowd—stole the nation's heart by crying after winning best supporting actress for Pushing Daisies. The show's been cancelled and Chenoweth, bless her, reminded the world that she needs a job: "I'm unemployed now, so I'd like to be on Mad Men. I also like The Office and 24."
- Tina Fey fans are upset that Toni Collette won the "best comedy actress" award for United States of Tara, which we actually enjoy. Well, Jeff Jarvis is upset, at least: The journalist and internet aficionado twittered, "best comedy actress was a crime". But, whatever, because Fey won for her SNL Sarah Palin impersonation.
- In other-SNL news, Justin Timberlake took home a trophy for his "Dick in a Box" routine. But that was announced last week, so hopefully you knew that.
- Sure, Fey didn't win, but that doesn't mean the Academy doesn't still love 30 Rock: the incredibly popular show won "best comedy series" and Alec Baldwin walked away with a "best actor" statuette. That's his second, for the record.
- Speaking of seconds: Mad Men again won "best drama series" and best writing for a drama series. Does this mean the show will continue to be a popular culture darling? Not if you ask Matthew Greenberg from True Slant — he thinks the consecutive win will alienate those who don't already watch it, because they'll think it's elitist.
- If Greenberg's right, there could also be a backlash against Glenn Close: the Damages star once again won for "best actress" in a drama series.
- Comedy Central's no doubt pleased with Jon Stewart and the Daily Show crew: they won "best writing" for a comedy, variety, etc series. And, yes, Stewart commended Neil's hosting abilities. He also made a joke about going backstage to watch football, which was competing on another network and became the butt of many tiresome jokes.
- LA Times writer Tom O'Neil has crowned Bill Maher the biggest Emmy loser in history because Maher, whose show was nominated in the aforementioned variety category, has lost 22 times over the course of his career.
- Remember how we said Harris should host everything? He may have some competition from Hugh Jackman, who won for original music for his Oscar dance routine.
- Hey, did you know Sarah McLachlan's still around? And she's still singing "I Will Remember You." While, yes, we should take a moment to recognise the departed—Bea Arthur!—certainly there's a less maudlin, predictable soundtrack.
- And on that note, here's a list of the winners.

BOSTON (August 16, 2005) — Noting a looming crisis in library leadership nationwide as a record number of senior librarians begin to retire, the national Institute for Museum and Library Services has awarded the Simmons College Graduate School of Library and Information Science (GSLIS) in Boston more than $780,000 to establish a unique doctoral program in management leadership.
The Institute's three-year grant of $787,465 will fund the establishment of a Ph.D. program in Management Leadership at the Simmons GSLIS. The program will prepare 15 full-time, working professionals in library and information sciences to move into "next generation" senior leadership posts in libraries and other information-related organizations. Courses will be offered on a flexible schedule, and will allow students to customize their study and research to their career needs and the needs of their employers.
The grant was awarded by the IMLS as part of their 2005 Librarians for the 21st Century program.
In addition to training leaders for management of complex, information-based organizations in a global society, the Simmons Ph.D. program will develop a body of scholarly and practice-based research that it will disseminate to the profession, and will continually update and examine leadership issues in information-related organizations.
"There is an urgent need for new models of senior leadership as library managers and directors retire in record numbers," said Simmons GSLIS Dean Michele Cloonan, "We are especially delighted with this opportunity to help shape the future of library leadership.
"Organizations are growing more complex and are changing rapidly in today's global society, and the highest level of knowledge and intellectual capital are critical for their success. We look forward to providing a leading program in higher education that gives the next generation of leaders the most up-to-date intellectual and experiential tools necessary for success."
The program's principal organizers are Simmons GSLIS professors Peter Hernon and Candy Schwartz, both recognized leaders in their fields. For more information about the management leadership Ph.D., contact Schwartz at email@example.com.
The Simmons Graduate School of Library and Information Science, established in 1902, was one of the first schools of its kind in North America and currently is one of the largest. The school educates approximately five percent of the nation's librarians and supports more than 9.000 alumni in library and information science positions around the world, many in leading national organizations.
In addition to the Ph.D. in Management Leadership, the Simmons school offers academic programs in archives, library, and information science. These include a Master of Science, as well as a Ph.D in Library and Information Science to begin in 2006. The school also provides specialized degree, dual-degree, and continuing education programs.

The Real Format War Has Yet to Begin
HD DVD is dead, but Blu-ray fans (is there such a thing?) shouldn't pop the corks just yet. The real format war hasn't even started.The HD DVD vs. Blu-ray skirmish serves as a prelude to the real battle: discs vs. hard drives. At some point, an enterprising company will come out with an economically-viable, high-capacity, hard-drive-based device that can output in 1080p. When this happens, the days of disc-based media will be numbered, and that's when the real battle will begin.
Disc-free media is a disruptive technology, and disruptive technologies are the ones that change things. Consider the evidence: the digital revolution began when CDs blew cassettes out of the water and years later, DVD's digital superiority dismantled VHS. In each of these situations, the upside of the new technologies was clear. Consumers understood that an investment in these newfangled discs would lead to a better audio/video experience. And it didn't hurt that these new formats were lighter and thinner.
To me, Blu-ray is SACD with a bigger budget. Sure, it's better than DVD, but it's not disruptive. It's an incremental improvement that hinges on a technology (1080p) most people don't use or understand. But a hard-drive system ... now that's disruptive. No more discs to manage. No more stupid DVD towers to buy. All you need is one simple box.
Congratulations, Blu-ray. You've won the right to be a technological stepping stone.

How would you help the unemployed?
Greg Mankiw tells us that Jay Leno decided to put on a show in Detroit to help the depressed area, and put up free tickets so that unemployed people can get to see him. Some enterprising unemployed chappie took the view that Jay Leno won't put food on their tables, so got a free ticket and stuck it on eBay. Last we heard, a ticket was going for a heady $800.Now, if you were Jay Leno, seeing some unemployed folks taking the opportunity to make a few hundred dollars by selling something which was of little value to them but much value to someone else, what would you do?Yep. He requested that eBay pull the listings, which they have since done. Help for the unemployed, indeed.(Thanks: Netsmith.)

I will deliver in seperate stylesheets, but I would like to have some backup if the importing should fail, caused by path issues eg.(I have no control over the execution environment) Considering Colin's remarks, about xsl:next-match etc, it is an exercise which may be next to impossible (at least far from trivial), but I maybe wrong... Can you change the URIResolver? Because if you can, you can place all stylesheets into one stylesheet, id them (with xml:id), use use-when on them so they won't be called prematurely, and let the URIResolver resolve to parts of the same stylesheet (the id'ed parts). Probably the easiest to do (if this is an option at all) to use your own scheme so any existing schemes are not messed with. If XSLT 2.0 weren't too strict, you would have an easy solution as follows (which illustrates my idea, hopefully the indentation isn't messed with by my Thunderbird...): <xsl:stylesheet version="2.0" xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform" xmlns:xs="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" xmlns:include="http://include" extension-element-prefixes="include"> <xsl:import href="multiple-stylesheets-in-one.xslt#include-me" /><xsl:template match="/"> <xsl:text>text-main</xsl:text> </xsl:template> <include:stylesheet use-when="0"><xsl:stylesheet xml:id="include-me" version="2.0" xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"> <xsl:template match="/"> <xsl:text>text-include</xsl:text> </xsl:template> </xsl:stylesheet> </include:stylesheet> </xsl:stylesheet>Saxon will throw an "A stylesheet cannot import itself" error, even though you aren't really importing oneself. Which is why you will have to come up with your own scheme, or a location of your stylesheet which is not recognized by the processor as being the same: <xsl:import href="http://otherhost-to-same-location/multiple-stylesheets-in-one.xslt#include-me" /> but I don't know (not tested), if the #-syntax is supported this way (I remember a few W3C notes on the subject, but I can't recall whether it is legal and whether only the node with "include-me" will get selected). I'd be curious if this is a feasible path for you, if so, we can elaborate a bit on it. Cheers, -- Abel BraaksmaPS: without the xsl:import the use of xsl:stylesheet inside the extension element is legal (at any other place it wouldn't), it is ignored by the XSLT processor. --~------------------------------------------------------------------ XSL-List info and archive: http://www.mulberrytech.com/xsl/xsl-list To unsubscribe, go to: http://lists.mulberrytech.com/xsl-list/ or e-mail: <mailto:xsl-list-unsubscribe(_at_)lists(_dot_)mulberrytech(_dot_)com> --~--

1. Registration of promotional actions
2. Applying for funding
Registration of promotional actions
Eligibility and evaluation criteria
Registration of awareness-raising actions promoting sustainable urban mobility is open to everyone – groups of people, NGOs, social partners, research/teaching institutions, local/national authorities, public institutions, or public/private companies are all welcome to apply. An eligible promotional action can be limited to a specific day or last for several weeks/months; it can be a one-off event or a recurring activity.
However, each promotional action must meet the following conditions:-
The registration form must be submitted in clear, standard English;
The action must take place in an EU Member State, Iceland, Liechtenstein or Norway;
The action must promote a behavioural shift towards a more sustainable urban mobility culture;
The organisation promoting the registered action must not be involved in the production or the promotion of any products, actions, or events that are potentially harmful to citizens;
The action must not encourage unlawful behaviour or civil disobedience;
Entrants must be aged 18 or older.
If your promotional action is selected, you will be allowed to include the European Commission logo, accompanied by the words 'Participating in the European Commission's Sustainable Urban Mobility campaign' and the 'Do the Right Mix' signature, on your webpage and social media pages. Further details are specified in the 'Toolkit for Campaign Participants' that will be sent to all successful candidates.
The right to participate in the Sustainable Urban Mobility campaign is given to actions as entities themselves and not to institutions or companies. In practice this means that the associated campaign materials can be used only on web pages promoting the action and not on every page of an organisation's website, for example. Affiliation with the campaign is in no way intended to serve as endorsement of commercial advertisements, products or services.
By uploading campaign materials, participants confirm that they have the full ownership of the rights to these materials. The applicant agrees that the European Commission reserves the right to use the uploaded materials and content in any form for the purpose of promoting the Sustainable Urban Mobility campaign.
The jury's decision is final. The jury also reserves the right to reject a registration that does not comply with the requirements of the competition. By submitting a registration, entrants accept that they do not have legal recourse to challenge the jury's decision.
By registering a promotional action, the entrant accepts that s/he has read and understood the competition rules.
Applying for funding
Eligibility criteria
Requests for co-financing of campaigning activities will be considered as eligible if they meet the additional criteria below:
Only non-commercial enterprises, in other words organisations such as NGOs, local authorities, public bodies, schools/universities/research institutes can apply for funding.
You will have to provide digital scans of official documents attesting to the legal status of your organisation (e.g. scanned statutes, pages from official journals, a copy of the resolution, law, decree, decision or any other official document establishing your organisation as a public organisation etc.). Please ensure that these documents mention the non-profit character of your organisation according to its legal status.
Applications for the second round of funding must be submitted before 00:00 (CET) on 31 May 2013;
The campaigning action submitted by the applicant should take place between 1 July 2013 and 30 June 2014.
Funding cannot be used to finance staff costs, equipment and overheads.
If your promotional action is selected to receive funding from the European Commission's Sustainable Urban Mobility campaign, these funds cannot be used in conjunction with other European Union funds, e.g. European Regional & Development funding or Trans-European Transport funding, etc.
When registering your promotional action, an organisation can only apply for funding once, regardless of how many actions are registered.
Please note that campaigners in Bulgaria, Greece, Italy, Latvia, Romania and the UK are not eligible to apply as these countries already receive targeted support for setting up national campaigns.
Evaluation criteria
The principal aim of the campaign funding is to financially support promotional activities with strong visibility, as well as those demonstrating networking and multiplication effects at the local, regional, and/or national or even EU level. Applications should include clear and realistic targets, and be based on well-structured and coherent partnerships.
More specifically, the selection committee will employ the following evaluation criteria:-
Creative and strategic approach: Is there an innovative dimension to the described campaigning activity? Has the applicant provided a detailed roadmap? What target groups have been identified?
Expected impact: How ambitious is the proposal? Will the impact be measured? Are there concrete performance indicators included? How many people will be targeted? Is the aim to change travel behaviour? In how many towns/cities will the activity be organised? Will the activity be promoted at the local/regional/national level? Will there be any long-term impact?
Likely media interest: Which media will be targeted? Are experienced communication staff involved? What are the key messages? Which communication channels and marketing tools will be used? Is there a media contact database?
Synergies with relevant EU campaigns, initiatives, and policies in the field of transport, energy and environment: Is the activity linked to the European Mobility Week and/or the Sustainable Urban Mobility campaign in terms of message(s)? Is there a clear link with other relevant EU policies and programmes?
Multiplier effect: Is there potential for the campaign activity/outcome to be adopted and promoted by other campaigners/stakeholders?
Coherence and management of stakeholder partnerships: How many partners are involved? Is there a coherent, complementary partnership? Is there a clear division of roles and responsibilities? To what degree will the partnership contribute to the success of the campaigning activity?
Financial state and cost-effectiveness: Is the requested co-financing coherent with the proposed campaign activity? How significant will the impact be, considering the proposed level of investment?
Applicants must comply with the additional rules outlined below:
The reimbursement of costs will only be carried out after the promotional action has taken place. Reimbursement will only be possible if official receipts (including company information, a reference number, VAT number, date, and all relevant details regarding the purchase) are presented for all purchases. Receipts for items/services below the amount of EUR 100 will not be considered.
An activity report should be submitted within one month after the completion of the action.
Only costs outlined in the application form during the registration process will be reimbursed.
If your promotional action is selected for funding, you will be allowed to include the European Commission logo, accompanied by the words 'Supported by the European Commission's Sustainable Urban Mobility campaign' and the 'Do the Right Mix' signature, on your webpage and social media pages. as specified in the 'Toolkit for Supported Actions' that will be sent to successful candidates.
Money should be spent on communication and promotion only, and not equipment.
Budget shifts can be accepted as long as they are motivated, proportional and approved by the 'Do the Right mix' campaign.
In case your promotional activity will be organised in the scope of EMW 2013, it needs to establish a clear reference to this year's theme of "Clean air - it's your move!".

Horsham Escorts are based in a town in England in West Sussex which is on the upper reaches in the river Arun. This is in the centre of the Weald. This area is 31 miles from London. According to census 2008, Horsham has a population of 55,657 people. Horsham District Council is the administrator of this town.
This historical town is the largest town in the Horsham District Council area. The second local government of this market town is West Sussex Country Council, situated in Chichester. A good range of Parish councils are also been found over there for the administrations.
Topographical situation of this town is very admirable. It is 50 meters above the sea level. The Weald has taken an very important role to this country.
There are two explanations about the origin of the name of this town. The first is, in 947 AD, at the time of king Eadred's, this town was the place of sailing horses. And the name was originated from 'Horse Ham' as the name has been settled. The second thought is, 'Horsham' is a contraction of 'Horse Ham' named after the Saxon warrior who was said to have been given lands in the area.
Horsham Escorts can find real bargains here as Horsham is a market town involving itself with many other farms till the 20th century. The main trading thing is brick from wealden clay of this town. Wealden Brickworks are still being operated at two miles north of Horsham and there are disused workings throughout the area, notably at South water which is now developed as an education centre and leisure park.
20th century has given the highest prosperity to this market town which was the Victorian era. As it has its good historical valuation, it has a good percentage of keeping records of its history. Photographs of different value added pictures are being saved very lawfully of this town.

Who we are
The Salvation Army Vancouver Homestead is a residential Support Recovery Program for women seeking recovery from substance abuse. Our aim is to create a safe and secure place for women to address the unique bio-psycho-social-spiritual needs they face in their recovery, therefore facilitating remarkable healing.
The Homestead's programs are based on a community living environment, where we are supportive of one another's journey. Healing occurs in the process of journeying together through recovery, as we learn about ourselves and how to cope with the feelings we have in everyday life.
The Vancouver Homestead is licensed through The Vancouver Coastal Health Authority.
What we do
The Vancouver Homestead operates two programs. Support Recovery is a first stage program, focusing on the initial recovery process. Priority is given to building the life skills necessary to live drug and alcohol free. Through one to one and group counseling, psychoeducational classes, and life skill teaching women learn a new way to live. The Support Recovery program has capacity for twenty four women. The minimum stay in the first stage is 12 weeks.
Homestead's second stage program focuses on long term stabilization for women who have graduated the first stage. Eight beds are set apart in a space independent from the first stage program for the women who desire to live in a supportive community environment while reintegrating into the larger community. Women in this stage must continue to set and work toward recovery goals, while seeking long term safe and affordable housing, enrolling in work ready programs, or furthering their education.
The Vancouver Homestead has a unique focus on spirituality. We believe that every person is on a spiritual journey, and our spiritual beliefs shape who we are. As such, the Homesteads programs facilitate a journey to exploring our spirituality.
Intake Process
The process for intake to the Support Recovery program is:

Very nice little county park. We were the only occupants in the park. Very clean restrooms and it was patrolled by deputy during the evening. Very quiet and would highly recommend this park for overnight or multiple days. It is outside of the city a ways so stock up on food and fuel before heading to the park. Good base camp for activities in the area. Would definitely stay here again. We camped here in a Motorhome.

This is a small, quiet, out of the way campground. There are 15 electric sites with some primitive campsites. All pads are gravel and level side to side, and mostly level front to back. The site are not huge, but wide open enough at the front to make parking a large trailer easy. The restroom/showers were very clean. It is about 10 miles west of the Purdue campus. I stayed while attending a home football game, and will use this campground again. Reservations have to be made with the Tippacanoe County Parks department over the phone, receiving a mail-in reservation form that must be returned with a check. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

Very secluded, county owned park. Gravel sites. 1-9 are shaded along wooded ravine. 10-15 are in open area across road. Dump station is very convenient. Small, stocked pond onsite great for kids fishing. Excellent area to ride bikes. Near larger county park with trails and disc golf course. Less than one mile from full golf course. Facilities on site for retreats, receptions, family reunions etc. (Was originally a 4-H camp in 1920s). Shower house for CG is very new- nice, large and clean. Reservations are made through the county park department. This is a great place to stay for a quiet getaway. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

Southern Illinois food pantry says it's needs more food
ANNA, Ill. (AP) — Officials at a southern Illinois food pantry say they're in dire need of help to keep their shelves stocked.
The (Carbondale) Southern Illinoisan reported Saturday that the Shawnee Development Food Pantry in the Union County town of Anna suspended operations for two weeks earlier this month because there was no food to give away.
Officials say that's the first time in 20 years that the pantry has had to close its doors.
A truckload of food arrived a few days ago, and should last until the end of the week. But officials say they'll have to close again if no more food arrives.
They say the pantry typically serves about 200 households monthly, but that number has climbed as high as 335 households as more young families seek help.
Illinois prison officials: two meal-a-day plan more costly upfront
SPRINGFIELD, Ill. (AP) - Serving Illinois prisoners two meals a day instead of three was supposed to save the state money.
But Corrections Department officials told lawmakers this week it will cost $200,000 per prison to implement the "brunch" program.
Corrections spokesman Tom Shaer now says the main goal is to reduce inmate movement - a cost savings - and avoid serving breakfast in dark morning hours.
Prisons in Robinson and Galesburg have begun the program and the Mount Sterling lockup will follow soon. Shaer says the rest of the two dozen state prisons could follow after Jan. 1.
Prison director S.A. "Tony" Godinez said in early 2012 it would save $2 million in the following year. Shaer says there might be savings down the line but security is the top concern.
Chicago man gets 30 years in drugs, firearms case
CHICAGO (AP) - A federal judge has sentenced an Illinois man to 30 years in prison for convictions on narcotics and firearms charges.
Thirty-five-year-old Joel Rivas was sentenced Wednesday by U.S. District Judge Amy St. Eve. The U.S. Attorney's Office announced the sentence Thursday.
Rivas was convicted in July of drug charges, including conspiracy to distribute more than five kilograms of cocaine, and illegally possessing two guns.
The former Elgin resident was living in Chicago when he was arrested in 2010. That's when authorities say they found cocaine, marijuana and guns in an Elgin storage unit.
Prosecutors claimed that Rivas and another man, Ismael Miranda, distributed wholesale amounts of cocaine and marijuana to customers in Illinois between 2007 and 2010.
The 36-year-old Miranda pleaded guilty and was sentenced to 20 years in prison.
Governor Quinn not discouraged by lack of votes during veto session
WHEELING, Ill. (AP) - Gov. Pat Quinn says he's not discouraged that lawmakers came away from two days of their fall veto session without tackling any of the major issues on their agenda.
The Chicago Democrat says the days were valuable for discussion to "lay a foundation" on the state's pension crisis and same-sex marriage.
However, neither issue came up for a vote before lawmakers left town.
They'll be back next month. Quinn says that'll be the time to take votes.
A bipartisan panel has been tasked with coming up with a solution to Illinois' nearly $100 billion pension problem, but the panel has been stalled on a plan that would save an estimated $138 billion.
Meanwhile, advocates and opponents of legalizing same-sex marriage both held rallies this week in Springfield.
Illinois lawmakers consider change to puppy "lemon" law
SPRINGFIELD, Ill. (AP) - Lawmakers are working to change a small mistake in Illinois' new pet "lemon" law.
Democratic state Sen. Dan Kotowski, the legislation's sponsor, told a Senate committee that there was an error in the legislation that was passed by both houses last spring.
The amendment to the law allows owners to return a pet or be reimbursed for veterinary costs if it is discovered an illness was not disclosed by the seller. The original legislation said pet stores would have to pay owners up to twice the cost of the pet to offset treatment costs. Kotowski told a Senate committee that number should be changed to require reimbursement to match the cost of the pet.
The measure passed the Senate and now heads to the House.
IL Veto Session: Gambling, funding requests on day 2 agenda
SPRINGFIELD, Ill. (AP) - Illinois lawmakers are returning to the state capitol for a second day of their annual fall veto session.
After getting off to a sputtering start Tuesday, the schedule on Wednesday is shaping up to include a hearing on gambling and more requests by state agencies for additional funds.
Horsemen and officials from the Illinois racetracks want lawmakers to authorize a law that allows for online betting. And lawmakers are reviving talks on a larger gambling bill that stalled this spring.
Tuesday also saw a gay marriage rally as part of an effort to make such unions legal in Illinois.
Lawmakers have yet to address the state's $97 billion pension shortfall and tax incentives aimed at keeping Archer Daniels Midland Company's global headquarters in Illinois.
Illinois veterans could have easier access to medicinal marijuana under bill
SPRINGFIELD, Ill. (AP) - Sick military veterans who want medical marijuana would get it more easily under legislation that's getting committee approval.
The House Judiciary Committee sent Rep. Lou Lang's bill to the floor for consideration.
The Skokie Democrat is the sponsor of Illinois' first law legalizing the use of medical marijuana. Gov. Pat Quinn signed it in August.
But it requires a sick person to get a letter from a doctor. Veterans home doctors are federal employees - barred from approving cannabis use.
Lang's legislation would allow veterans to get a letter from the Illinois Department of Public Health certifying he or she has a condition that qualifies for marijuana treatment under the law.
The committee voted 10-6 to move the bill to the House floor.
Illinois bill would impose stiffer penalties for gun crimes
SPRINGFIELD, Ill. (AP) - A lawmaker pushing legislation to stiffen sentences for gun crimes called off action on the bill Tuesday.
Ryan Keith is a spokesman for Rep. Mike Zalewski of Riverside. He says Zalewski is still meeting with opponents of the bill with an eye toward compromise. It was scheduled for a committee hearing Tuesday.
The measure would require a 3-year prison sentence for illegally packing a loaded gun. Felons and gang members could get 10 years in prison.
Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel has made it a legislative priority because of rampant gun violence in Chicago.
But the National Rifle Association is worried that law-abiding gun owners who are in the wrong place at the wrong time could get socked with a three-year sentence.
Thousands expected to rally for same-sex marriage in IL capital
SPRINGFIELD, Ill. (AP) - Thousands of disappointed Illinois residents are expected at the state Capitol to rally for same-sex marriage.
Organizers say several thousand people are expected to take part in the "March on Springfield" -a grassroots effort to urge the passage of same-sex marriage legislation in Illinois.
The Illinois Senate approved the measure last February, but the measure has stalled in the House. Speaker Michael Madigan has said about a dozen votes are still needed.
The event will begin with a noon concert followed by a rally at 1 p.m. and a 2:30 p.m. March. Democratic Sen. Dick Durbin and Democratic Gov. Pat Quinn are participating in the event. The governor says he will sign legislation if passed by the General Assembly.
Currently 13 states and the District of Columbia allow gay marriage.
Furloughed federal workers must repay unemployment in Illinois
SPRINGFIELD, IL (AP) - State officials say federal employees in Illinois who were furloughed during the shutdown have to repay unemployment insurance benefits.
The Illinois Department of Employment Security said Monday in a release that preliminary data shows that of the 2,937 federal workers who applied for unemployment insurance, 577 went on to be paid benefits. That represents a total of $231,174.
The department says that the employees will be sent notices that the money must be repaid. If it isn't, department officials can take steps to recover the money like garnishing tax refunds.
IDES Director Jay Rowell says the partial shutdown "needlessly scared" scores of workers.
The partial federal government shutdown lasted 16 days.

The Unmarked Tomb of a Well-Known Soldier
Today many of us in the United States will visit cemeteries and find other ways to honor those who made the ultimate sacrifice while serving in the Armed Forces.
Memorial Day, observed annually on the last Monday of May, began in the nineteenth century as Decoration Day in memory of those who died in the American Civil War. It soon included all who died in military service — especially following World War II — and the name was officially changed to Memorial Day in 1967.
Remembering Those Who Went Before
Not to be confused with Veterans Day (November 11), which honors all military veterans (both those who died in service and those who did not), Memorial Day has become an occasion, over tim…

Fred Astaire dancers coming to Eagan.
The Apple Valley Business Campus proposed by developer Mark Hebert has won City Council approval to build two big warehouses for office and industrial use.
The council approved a final plat, site plan and building permit for Hebert, who has begun grading the site, said Bruce Nordquist, community development director. He said the city is extending two roads into Hebert's property: Flagstaff Avenue going about a third of a mile north from 147th to 140th Street, which will be extended from there east to Johnny Cake Ridge Road. The road work was slowed while the city negotiated an easement from Magellan Pipeline Co., which has a fuel line running through the campus site.
Once 147th Street -- on which work was to begin last week -- reaches the campus, Hebert plans to erect two warehouses, each of 50,000 square feet or more, Nordquist said. He noted Magellan plans to expand its tank farm at Flagstaff and County Road 42.
Time Square spruces up
The council, acting as its Economic Development Agency, has approved a $157,000 forgiveable loan to renovate the Time Square shopping center northwest of County Road 42 and Cedar Avenue. The money is excess taxes generated in a nearby tax increment financing district, said Ron Hedberg, Apple Valley's finance director. The loan is forgiven if the shopping center stays for at least five years. The city has made similar loans of about $150,000 each this year to Wise Swim School and AV 147 Properties. Both projects are renovating old buildings for new uses.
A winning remodeler
James Barton Design-Build of Apple Valley recently won two Chrysalis Awards for outstanding remodeling projects.
Barton's winning projects for 2012 were in the categories Kitchen Remodel $50,000-$75,000 and Bath Remodel $40,000-$60,000. The annual Chrysalis Awards have been made since 1994 to recognize excellent residential and commercial remodeling projects in the region and nation.
"To win multiple awards in these highly competitive categories demonstrates our ongoing commitment to excellence," said owner James Madsen. "It's exciting for the entire team to receive this recognition for our hard work and dedication."
Eighty-one U.S. remodeling companies were named winners out of 420 applicants in the annual Chrysalis Awards for Remodeling Excellence last month, reported Globe Newswire. Entries were judged in 16 categories for overall design, the creative use of space and materials, and the degree to which the project enhanced the original structure.
Coming and going
The Apple Valley Chamber of Commerce notes the city is gaining a new business but losing two others.
Auto Zone plans to build a 12,629-square-foot building on a nearly two-acre site near Foliage Avenue and 151st Street, northwest of Home Depot. But two women's clothing stores, Fashion Bug and Avenue, are closing.
Elsewhere, foundations are poured and the steel beam framework is going up for a new CVS Pharmacy in Burnsville. The drug store, expected to open in October, sits on the site of the former TCF Bank at Burnsville Parkway and Nicollet Avenue.
Farmington held a ribbon-cutting last week for Ameriprise Financial in the City Center shopping area downtown off Elm Street.
Fred Astaire Dance Studio has moved from Inver Grove Heights to Eagan. Although a store and office are still in progress, the dance floor and sound system are ready to go in Suite 700 at 1975 Seneca Road, said owner Chad Lessard. Salsa, ballroom dancing and other classes are held Tuesday to Friday from 1 to 10 p.m. and Saturday from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. For a peek at the studio, go to www.fredastairemn.com.

Friday Edition
For the next couple of months, or some undetermined period, we will have, as you can see at the top of the right column on this screen-page, a small memorial to Anita Roddick. She challenged all of us to consider our business, of 1 or 1,0001 employees, a force for positive, broad-based social change, while also contributing to traditional capitalist growth through investable profits and job creation. The right thing is also the profitable thing—a message and method to which I, as well, have devoted my career.
(The memorial also links to this excellent article in the Telegraph, which reports on an interview recorded shortly before she died.)
yes tom...when I work at the front lines I often use her quote "If you think you are too small to make a difference, you have never been in bed with a mosquito" Her passing is a great loss...
Posted by Mike Neiss at September 19, 2007 7:51 PM
'Gain' can be developed from that 'loss'... by adopting and adapting more of 'her kind of stuff' into our normal activities.
Posted by gulliver at September 19, 2007 9:55 PM
It's your blog, do what you want. Bear in mind, though, that to many, Ms. Rodick was a hypocrite. There's an old saying about heros and "feet of clay."
Posted by Mike at September 20, 2007 10:15 AM
Thanks for doing this.
Anita and Gordon are two of our local heroes, and every time I drive past the HQ it makes me remember that we CAN make a difference.
And to Mike who says she was a hypocrite: There's another saying from the same book you quoted: "whoever is without sin can cast the first stone".
I don't expect perfection of my heroes, only that they live what they believe and try to make a difference.
Mark in West Sussex, England
Posted by Mark Harrison at September 20, 2007 3:09 PM
Let us please be dignified and not argue about Anita – we should just celebrate her life. When I did my MA Management (Health Care) in the mid 90's her book 'Body and Soul' was the one I enjoyed reading most. (In fact probably the ONLY one I actually ENJOYED) If you really want to know what is crap in business then don't listen to management academics and management consultants (including me) but simply read 'Body and Soul.' Anita Roddick was just an amazing woman and my biggest regret is that she was not in charge of every business school in the UK.
Posted by Trevor Gay at September 20, 2007 4:30 PM
I am certainly not without sin, but I am certainly without the sin of hypocrisy. I am not judging Ms. Roddick, only mentioning that there are many who do not believe she did live what she believed, or at least live what she wanted us to believe. Hero worship is a dangerous past-time.
Posted by Mike at September 21, 2007 6:40 AM
Discourse about business & wonderful individuals like Anita are certainly part of free world non-socialism though ... no need to be self promoting & laissez faire. Body Shop, L'Oreal & animal testing & cancer causing cosmetic ingredients are all topics quite easily researched to draw an informed opinion. Free enterprise & $1.4B & capitalism are not perfect but can be quite magnificent - caveat emptor - buyer beware! :>}

On a cold wet winters morn, near Christmas time 1976, my old mum dragged me through the poring rain to a little, quite scruffy, weird smelling shop in Kensington Gardens, Brighton. And at an irritable age 10, I was peeved to say the least.
I remember sitting in a backroom full of boxes and weird looking things I couldn't quite make out. Mud, yes MUD was all over the walls, grass seed piled in heaps, coconuts plied high…... Weird, just weird…. 'Mum,' I cried, 'you can't work here, it stinks.'
Then this even weirder hippy looking women wearing baggy dungarees and wild fizzy hair stormed in the room and shouted something like, 'Sorry… late… a whole F***ing lot of Hemp just fell out of the Van…..'
'Mum, Mum,' I secretly thought, 'you can't work here.'
'Hi, I'm Anita….' and shock my Mum's hand with jolt…………….
She suddenly turned and look at me, and in commanding voice: 'Get out of those wet things you silly boy, and don't sit on those boxes, and….'
My mum did take the part time Crimbo job, and yes, on occasion dragged me back to the shop not sit on those smelly boxes.
Things got weirder.
I not only overheard quite strange conversation about how Madagascan women smothered themselves with bees wax to ward off the sun, and how Chilean Men would rub hot chillies on the face to keep flies away. This women Anita, who apparently owned the shop, would rub coconut on her own nut to straighten her hair…. 'Ho boy, what absolutely bizarre place,' I sighed.
New years day 1977, sales time, Anita asked if I could keep the store room tidy, as it was chock-a-block with customer in the front shop. 'You can take home some menthol litmus oils… Good for the chest.' (I was Asthmatic). 'Ho thanks!'
What struck me - with my hard earned 10 year old business acumen - was that the shop was busy all day. Why would anyone want to buy Prune Shampoo, or Tree Bark to rub off hard skin? But she must be doing something right…. Right??
I was glad to get back to school (for once). But what was my first assignment my English teacher gave? Yep! 'What did I do over the holidays?'… 'Ho boy, ho boy!!'
When I gave the essay in, I got an 'A.' Unusual for a distracted dyslexic. It did make me think though. About how listening and observing can lead to new insights and ideas. But more, how earwigging and gawking in unusual, even wired places can give extraordinarily original experiences.
Nita…. I never did get the chance to thank you. Take look at me now. Sleep tight Nita. I wont for get.
