For more than 22 years, Kenneth Green has lent his creative talent to Spelman College as a faculty member of the department of drama and dance. On April 8, 2010, in Sisters Chapel he'll add to an impressive and lengthy list of credits by producing "A Legacy of Change," the Founders Day Convocation commemorating the 129th anniversary of Spelman College.
"The work I've done at Spelman has been fulfilling," said Green, whose daughter, Milan, C'2011, attends Spelman. "It's often based in Black or African-American aesthetic. I'm most passionate about those works that live in a historical context where there is depth and meaning."
Green's passion is the perfect compliment to Spelman's legacy of producing leaders of African descent, rich in history and tradition. It was fitting that he was chosen, along with Jo Moore Stewart, director of publications, to create Spelman's 125th Convocation celebration, "The River That Flows Through Time," which set a precedent, changing the format and style of subsequent Founders Day convocations.
"Kenneth has a wonderful sense of how to bring history to life through dance," said Stewart. "His choreography and creativity has really served Spelman well over the years."
Originally from San Bernardino, Calif., Green has enjoyed a career of producing events, special projects, and theatrical presentations nationwide. He was casting director for Walt Disney World and Disneyland Tokyo professional talent division; and served as TV choreographer for the Walt Disney World Easter Parade Special. He has choreographed for Kodak, Head Sports Wear, Adidas and Wendy's; and has worked with countless celebrities, including Vanessa Williams, Donna Summer, Eartha Kitt and Diahann Carroll.
Always connecting Spelman to the community, Green has brought many high profile entertainers to the campus including actress Jasmine Guy, who recently directed the department of drama and dance's production of "The Bluest Eye."
Green, who also works with Office of College Relations on cultural events, continues to add to his impeccable body of work at Spelman, leaving a lasting impression with students, faculty and all who come to know him. Joy Brunson, C'2010, calls Green her mentor since being directed in numerous Spelman productions.
"Working with Mr. Green has been a huge blessing in my life," said Brunson, who starred in Spelman's recent production of " The Bluest Eye," was named a top pick to Columbia University's Masters in Fine Arts Acting Program, and will be seen alongside Jasmine Guy and Kenny Leon in "Kasha and the Zulu King," an animated series that will air on BET in October. "I've worked with him since I was a freshman, and he took me under his wing. Through his generosity and belief in me when no one else did, I've grown and been challenged, and I cherished every moment." – Lorraine Robertson is an Atlanta-based author, freelance writer, and regular contributor to Inside Spelman.

Creatures of Will and Temper is available for pre-order on Amazon! So, if you think a feminist retelling of The Picture of Dorian Gray with sword fighting and demons sounds cool, please do pre-order it or mark your calendars to go into a brick-and-mortar to pick it up when it comes in!
Many people agree with me that you should do this… among them, Diana Gabaldon, bestselling author of Outlander, whose blurb graces the cover, and who just causally name-dropped my novel today in The Washington Post. Yes, that Washington Post!
Here's a roundup of what people have had to say about this book (out Nov. 14th, mark your calendars, or just have an online store send you a copy the moment it's available!)
"An artful, witty, Oscar Wilde pastiche with the heart of a paranormal thriller." — Diana Gabaldon, bestselling author of Outlander

Thank you for reminding me about my rewards, Amanda! Sometimes I really need that.
Being a mom is tough work. I don't care who you are — rich or poor, married or single, first time or experienced, mothering is hard work.
This evening I made a new meal for my family. It was a spaghetti squash casserole filled with yummy veggies, fresh spices, and cheese. (Seriously, who can resist cheese?) I loved it. My husband loved it. My five year old loved it, and even my nine month old loved her pureed version. My two year old … not so much.
"Goosie no eat! Hurt Goosie mouth!" and "Icky!" were some of the more eloquent expressions she screamed as she threw each forkful to the ground to my happy dog. Because even my dog loved this meal. But not Goosie.
Halloween is coming up. I've been fretting about this holiday for a few months now. It has always been really important to me to make my daughters' costumes from scratch. This year, however, we have a lot going on, and every time I look at my sewing machine, I want to start crying. I simply do not have it in me to sew three costumes from scratch.
So we headed to the consignment store, and my heart actually started to pound in my chest as I laid my eyes on the most adorable little infant lion costume I had ever seen. It's all fur, and it has a huge head that pops out just above hers, and believe it or not, it was in her exact size. I looked at the price tag, and things only got better. So I ran home, laid her down, put it on her…
And she screamed. Like she has never screamed before. It kinda makes sense — what little baby would want to be eaten alive by a lion? But she just looked so adorable that I wanted to eat her up.
I, probably along with all of you, could come up with dozens and dozens of such stories. Stories where you pour your heart into something for your kids, not really wanting anything in return except perhaps a smile. And all you get are tears.
I said it above, parenting is hard.
And I think that's why sometimes non-parents wonder why we do it. Why do we pour our every waking moment into little beings when we could be out doing things for ourselves, saving the world, or even watching old E True Hollywood Stories?
Why would anyone possibly sign up for a 24 hour, seven day a week job with no opportunity to quit for a minimum of 18 years?
And I think the people who ask those questions just don't quite get the idea that we get paid. Big time.
They don't understand that for every long-labored-over veggie dish thrown on the floor, there are dozens of "thank-you mommy"s for a glass of milk or a cut up apple. They don't understand that for the screamed over baby costumes, there are years of delight as your toddlers and older children's eyes light up at the creation you have dreamed up just for them.
For every tantrum, there is a hug. For every fib, there is a contrite apology. For every sleepless night, there is a hug or a kiss or even just the knowledge that you are the comfort for someone who is in desperate need for it.
Motherhood is hard. In my thirty-five years, there is nothing that I have done that has proven more challenging. But even more so than that, motherhood is rewarding. It's a blessing. It's a gift. And I think that's something that all of us mommies know even in our most sleep deprived and frustrated states.
So next time someone without children asks you how or why you do it, just smile and know that the tender you get paid in is worth more than all the gold in the world.

I bought a Walgreens one as a back up but I've been using one from WalMart. The battery seems to be getting low and this is only my 4th cycle using it. The beep is starting to sound weird and sickly. I guess I need to get a different back up!
I have the BD Basal Digital Thermometer by BECTON DICKENSON, and it was not so cheap, and I've only been using it for two months or so. I bought it on line because the Rite Aid by my house did not carry them and neither did the medical supply store.
Filiadeluna, I don't understand what you mean by "flashing PAST the first temp."
Also, what are the signs of a dying battery - could that be what's going on with my muleheaded thermometer?
Yeah, I don't trust the Walgreens ones (and I used to work there ).
Well, on my thermometer I have to hold down the button *before* I turn it on. It flashes one temp VERY quickly (you almost miss it), and that's the saved temp, the one you took. Immediately afterwards it flashes 97.70 (the default thermometer temp). Lastly, it flashes to "LOW" or whatever, which means it's ready for you to take a new temp. I messed up some of my temps in the middle of the cycle b/c I thought they were 97.70 and didn't know you had to hold it down *before* turning it on.
My thermometer was only $6.99.

JERUSALEM (Oct. 14)
Premier Shimon Peres will make new proposals to President Reagan on how to bring Jordan and non-Palestine Liberation Organization Palestinians to the peace table with Israel, aides of the Premier told reporters here today. He will meet with Reagan in Washington later this week.
They said Peres believes the discrediting of the PLO and its discomfiture over the Achille Lauro hijack affair could be a propitious turning-point in Middle East peace efforts.
The Premier will make use of his visit to Washington to convince Administration and public opinion in the U.S. that there is a close, direct relationship between PLO leader Yasir Arafat and all of the PLO leadership with recent terrorist events in the Middle East, including the seizure of the Italian cruise ship and the murder of one of its passengers, Leon Klinghoffer, by Palestinian terrorists.
Peres has praised the U.S. interception of the four hijackers when the Egyptian airliner carrying them to freedom was forced by U.S. Navy fighter planes to land in Sicily. He called it "a landmark in the fight to eradicate terrorism" in a letter he sent to Reagan. He sent a similar letter to Secretary of State George Shultz.
At yesterday's Cabinet session, Peres rejected Likud demands for a full-scale policy debate by the Cabinet or the Knesset before his departure for the U.S. He said the positions he would present in Washington conformed to the policy guidelines of the national unity government drawn up by the Labor Party and Likud when they formed their coalition in September, 1984.
Peres' aides maintained that the guidelines allow the Premier to be flexible and forthcoming. He leaves tomorrow for Vienna to attend the meeting there of the Socialist International and then goes to Washington for meetings with Reagan and top Administration officials.
Peres is scheduled to address the 40th anniversary session of the United Nations General Assembly in New York October 21. Officials here said today he would cancel that appearance if an invitation was extended to PLO chief Arafat. The invitation was withdrawn today. (See separate story, P. I.)
Peres' letter to Reagan said: "We salute your courageous decision and decisive action. We congratulate you and the U.S. Navy on the flawless implementation: A major contribution to the international struggle against the double plague of cold-blooded murders and outright lies by both the perpetrators and their superiors. Your action is a landmark in the fight to eradicate terrorism and a shining example of your resolve."
Peres wrote to Shultz: "Dear George, I would like to express my personal admiration and a national sense of relief at your resolve in taking this action. We admire the decision as well as the flawless implementation by the U.S. Navy flyers.
"It is only through such demonstration of determination that the bloody nature of international terrorism and its cowardly lies can be exposed and eradicated. We stand reassured by the evidence that we are together in the war against terrorism."
But if Israel-U.S. relations have become closer as a result of the capture of the Achille Lauro hijackers, an open conflict brewing between Peres and Austria's ruling Socialist Party over Israel's bombing of PLO bases in Tunisia two weeks ago has clouded the Socialist International meeting.
Former Chancellor Bruno Kreisky, a deputy chairman of the Socialist International. has suggested that whoever ordered the bombing may no longer have a place in the International. Peres retorted sharply, calling Kreisky a "Jewish anti-Semite." Austrian Socialist leaders have defended Kreisky but, with a single exception, rejected the idea that Peres be ousted from the International.

A quick weekend update for you! This weekend I had the pleasure of visiting one of UK's most popular tourist destinations- Brighton. It wasn't my first time in Brighton, but what's so special about this city, is the new discoveries you make no matter how many times you've been there. My personal favourite being the boutiques. People must think I'm mad living in London and being impressed by boutiques in Brighton?! Well, these are somewhat different. If you're looking for something very original and unique Brighton is the place to visit. Especially the jewellery shops which sell a wide range of work from super talented young designers. So if you're looking for something special-head to Brighton!

20th Anniversary ¡Salud! The Oregon Pinot Noir Auction
The 20th anniversary celebration for ¡Salud!, Oregon's Pinot Noir auction will take place at Domaine Drouhin Oregon winery and at Portland's Governor Hotel on November 11 and 12, 2011. Marking this milestone, forty-two of Oregon's most respected winemakers have created small lots of unique, hand-crafted premier cuvées from the 2010 vintage, exclusively available during the two days.
"The ¡Salud! auction appeals to wine connoisseurs and collectors for the superlative wines and one-of-a-kind auction items," says event co-chair Will Neuhauser. "It's also significant that the program's history spans half the lifetime of our wine industry. This demonstrates the unwavering commitment by Oregon winegrowers for the mission."
¡Salud! is a program supported by the Oregon wine community and Tuality Healthcare to provide access to healthcare services for Oregon's seasonal vineyard workers and their families. Since its inception, the annual fundraiser has raised over $8 million. In 2010, over 3,500 people were enrolled in the program and nearly 200 worksites, including vineyards, received services.
This year's Legacy Award will be presented to Nancy and Dick Ponzi of Ponzi Vineyards in honor of their key role as founders of the ¡Salud! program, and their steadfast support over the decades.
"The event has become a highlight for the Oregon wine community," says Nancy Ponzi. "We get together, enjoy each other's wines and celebrate! Raising critical funds by donating your finest wines speaks volumes for the respect we all have for our seasonal workers. Without them, our wines would not be possible."
"Not only do we celebrate our past, but we actively look forward to the next 20 years," says Neuhauser. "As the need for ¡Salud! services continues to grow, we are broadening our fundraising efforts to keep pace with demand. Over the Anniversary weekend, we will introduce our Compañeros program, which will give wine lovers year-round benefits at multiple wineries and events, all while supporting the mission. It will also allow all Oregon wineries and vineyards to support ¡Salud! beyond the auction in ways that can fit their varied business models as they contribute to the future of our industry."
2011 "Vintner's Circle" wineries include: Adelsheim Vineyard, Elk Cove Vineyards, Raptor Ridge Winery, Amalie Robert Estate, Erath Winery, Scott Paul Wines, Antica Terra, Evening Land Vineyards, Shea Wine Cellars, ArborBrook Vineyards, The Eyrie Vineyards, Silvan Ridge, Archery Summit, Hamacher Wines, Sokol Blosser, Argyle, Ken Wright Cellars, Soléna Estate, Ayres Vineyard, King Estate Winery, Soter Vineyards, Beaux Frères, Lange Estate Winery, St. Innocent Winery, Bethel Heights Vineyard, Maysara Winery, Stoller Vineyards, Chehalem, Patricia Green Cellars, Torii Mor, Cristom Vineyards, Patton Valley Vineyard, WillaKenzie Estate, Dobbes Family Estate, Penner-Ash Wine Cellars, Willamette Valley Vineyards, Domaine Drouhin Oregon, Ponzi Vineyards, Winderlea Vineyard & Winery, Dusky Goose, R. Stuart & Co., Witness Tree Vineyard.
¡Salud! is a collaboration between Oregon winemakers and healthcare professionals to provide access to healthcare services for Oregon's seasonal vineyard workers and their families.
The relationship between vintners and physicians, united in their mission to benefit this essential workforce, is unique to Oregon. No other state in the country has such an effective and far-reaching program to support the seasonal worker population. Since 1992, the program has been supported by ¡Salud!, The Oregon Pinot Noir Auction, and other generous contributions.
20th Anniversary ¡Salud! Pinot Noir Auction Details:
Dates: November 11 and 12, 2011 Tickets: $395 includes Friday Tasting and Big Board Auction at Domaine Drouhin Oregon, and Saturday Dinner and Auction Gala at the Governor Hotel, Portland Tickets are available through www.saludauction.org

I dreamnt of being attacked and bitten constantly by a gray wolf last night The wolf kept attacking me, there was a point in the dream when I fought the wolf back and tore its head off. the wolf reformed hours later and began to attack me again. I fought it until it gave in. The wolf then became my friend and walked by my side.. I symbolize it as me having a tough time in life and fighting through it. Bravery,courage, and ability to overcome fear. The part when the wolf became my friend i think I symbolize it as the world having its messed up moments (the bad economy, no jobs, high gas prices) that makes it really hard to live if your a college student. BUT tough times don't last forever, and someday things will be the way they should be. ( in the economy)
I'd look at relationships at work or in your family. Is there a conflict that is just under the surface not being dealt with actively?

Oh, and I agree w/Mehonestly

avoid wolves at all costs :)
I'd say it means avoid wolves at all costs.
Dreams are for you interpreting, based on how you interpret the symbol, yourself, in your mind.

For a moment, we'll be pretending you're stock-standard, U-squared-C, Johnathon Quincy Taxpayer, the Nonexistant Man.

Wolves are predetors, and people are afraid of predetors, in old stories, wolves lso take the form of the antagonist - see: The Big Bad Wolf of Little Red Riding Hood or Three Little Pigs fame. We have ex<x>pressions like "A wolf in sheep's clothing", and "Thrown to the wolves", both of which carry some pretty heavy negetive connotations.

Remember how the wolf got his comeuppace in the "Sheep's Clothing" tale? We'll assume that you, at least a little bit and subconciously, think of wolves in such a manner.

You were consumed by the pack. The world is a cruel place. Do you feel it is out to get you and theres nothing you can do for yourself? That might be all your little dream means.

Alternatily you could be:

*looks up at the cop-out answer above*

Feeling consumed by Beauty, Solitude, Self Confidance, Pride, and possibly, depending on the colour of the wolves in question, Valour and Pride. Congratulations?
It means that you thought about being attacked by wolves while sleeping.

Likely the association came from you feeling fear / intimidation during the day.
i think you're stressed out. the wolves might represent all the things that are causing you stress, all the things you can't control and are eating you alive. pun intended.
Do you feel surrounded by wolves in real life? If you don't you will come to a point in your life when you do- so this dream is just a little reminder to learn the skills now of how to deal with such a situation ahead of time just in case it does happen in your life. Make sure you have the skills to handle anything in your life.

Red Bull MotoGP Rookies Cup Champ Hanika Signs With Red Bull KTM Ajo Moto3 World Championship Team
© 2017, Roadracing World Publishing, Inc. From a
press release
issued by KTM
Red Bull MotoGP Rookies Cup Championship Karel Hanika (98).

Red Bull KTM Ajo, the official KTM factory team for the Moto3 World Championship announced on Tuesday that they have signed Czech rider Karel Hanika for the 2014 season. The announcement follows that of the signing of Australian Jack Miller on the eve of the San Marino Grand Prix.
Red Bull KTM Ajo is currently leading the 2013 Moto3 championship with Luis Salom who will move up to Moto2 next season. The team's blue ribbon credentials are also underlined because it produced the first ever Moto3 world champion in Sandro Cortese in the competition's debut 2012 season.
Aki Ajo, factory team manager and his lineup are recognized as one of the most successful in the World Championship paddock and were the winning team in the small displacement class in 2008, 2010 and 2012.
Hanika has been the stand out rider in the 2013 edition of the Red Bull MotoGP Rookies Cup and has secured the title two rounds before the end of competition. He took three wins and four podiums in the 2012 edition of the Rookies Cup and so far has claimed six wins and three seconds in 2013. Born in Brno in 1996 he follows fellow Rookies graduates Danny Kent and Arthur Sissis into the factory team.
Aki Ajo - Team Manager: "We are very happy to bring Karel to Red Bull KTM Ajo. He is a very talented young rider who has had great races in the Red Bull Rookies Cup both this season and last season. It is an honor for Red Bull KTM Ajo to have these young riders coming through, with their desire to work hard and learn after their time in that magnificent competition. I know that Karel is very motivated for next year, and that is the most important thing."
Karel Hanika: "Moving up to the Moto3 World Championship with Red Bull KTM Ajo is a dream for me. In my opinion this is the best team in the series and a perfect opportunity for me. I have to make the most of this unique chance."
Hanika joins 18-year-old Miller in the 2014 team lineup. The Australian has looked impressive this season and is frequently up with the leading group of riders. He is currently seventh in the championship standings. Team boss Aki Ajo described Miller as "one of the biggest talents for the future" and said the team was proud to have him racing for them.
More, from a press release issued by Red Bull:
Karel Hanika is on his way to the 2014 Moto3 World Championship as a member of the Red Bull KTM Ajo Motorsport team. It is a fine reward for winning this year's Red Bull MotoGP Rookies Cup and he has an incredible legacy to follow. The team won the 2012 World Championship with Sandro Cortese and are leading the title chase this year with ex Rookie Luis Salom.
This weekend in Aragon though Hanika still has the final two races of the 2013 Rookies Cup to concentrate on and the 17-year-old Czech has unfinished business. He was forced out of Misano's race with an engine problem and spectated as the results produced his Cup winning points position, he certainly sees that as no way to end the season. He continued his crushing form with two German Championship wins in Hockenheim last weekend.
Hanika building on six
Already with six Rookies wins to his name this year he would love to make it eight and there is no chance whatsoever that this finale will be anything less than spectacular. That is the way of Rookies Cup and while Hanika cannot be caught, second placed could go to any of six young men.
Jorge Martín, the 15-year-old Spaniard, has a justifiable claim to it, he already has two wins to his name, the only one other than the Czech to get more than one and he pushed Hanika hardest for the title. Some bad luck and a below par weekend in Misano has meant that Manuel Pagliani is now only seven points behind. The 17-year-old Italian has been smooth and quick all season and victory in Misano accelerated his chase for second.
CEV leader still looking for first Rookies win
With 50 points on offer from these two races there is plenty more that can change. Marcos Ramirez is fourth in the points chase and has 24 to make up on Martín. The 15-year-old Spaniard leads his own national championship, the CEV, and has been third in the last three Rookies races. He is desperately looking for his first Cup win at the end of his second season.
In the same position is Stefano Manzi, the 14-year-old Italian, he has already been second three times this year including being robbed on the line in Misano by Pagliani. He has 27 points to make up on Martín and that second place. Another two adrift is Enea Bastianini, the 15-year-old Italian who won Race 2 in Jerez and was fourth in Misano.
The long shots
With very outside chances of that second place are 17-year-old Dutchman Scott Deroue, currently seventh in the table with that Silverstone Race 2 win and Diego Perez whose best result so far in his second season is second in Race 1 at Silverstone.
Statistics must be tallied at the end of the season of course but they are not what the Rookies Cup is about. It is the closest action in Grand Prix racing and that is what spectators and viewers will remember as much as who takes home the trophies.
That race action starts at 16.30 CET on September 28th with the year's finale at 15.30 on Sunday. The live show can be seen on TV stations around the world and on
with the build-up starting 10 minutes earlier.

Retirement & hunting/hiking in Wyoming
Greetings all, 9/14/12
I'm getting old (mid 50's) and am looking at retirement options for the next 5-10 years. I recently took two weeks, rented a car and drove all the back roads of Wyoming. What a beautiful state. I really liked the SE corner- the Torrington and Lingle areas. I like to hike and hunt, usually 2-3 times a month. I usually shoot pistols or rifles once or twice a week and like reloading and casting my own bullets (aka boolits). The Torrington/Lingle areas looked to have milder winters and less wind due to their lower elevations (about 4300feet above sea level) and hills to break up the wind.
So my question- would I be able to keep up with my hunting and shooting hobbies in that area during much of the year (excluding winter) and are there particular towns in this area you'd recommend? For what it's worth I am presently a doctor living in the tropics.
thanks- oldandslow

Don't retire....
It (retirement) really sucks big time.
I believed it would be like an extra long extended vacation,,,
No way - it's more like I said or did something inappropriate and got sent home w/no pay....

Retirement has been a blessing for me.
I retired in 2008 after 40 years bulding things that fly.
I have been able to spend a lot of time reloading and shooting. Going to the outdoor range this morning.
I play a lot of music and I am blessed to be financially well off enough to be debt free and able to indulge myself in firearms.
I can feel my physical abilities going away and have found it really does not matter. I do what I want to stay busy.
I lived in Wyoming a long time ago and it is a beautiful place.
You ought to PM KRAIGWY and ask him. He might just chime in here shortly on the subject.
I heard all the war stories about how retirement sucked and people wished they had not left their jobs.
That is not the case with me.
I am going to the RANGE. . .not to WORK.
I hope you follow through and enjoy your retirement.
I know I have.

Hey I might know a bit about retiring to Wyoming. I retired from the Anchorage Police Department in 1994 and moved to the NE Corner. About 10 miles from Newcastle right on the SD border.
I like to shoot, I like to hunt, and I like land cruising.
The SE part of Wyoming is nice, but you'll find a lack of public land that you'll find in other parts of the state.
As to wind. Elevation doesn't have a lot to do with it. If its flat (like the area you mentioned) you're gonna get more wind. You get use to it.
As mentioned, I like to shoot. I have my own range that goes to 400 yards. Been shooting here since I retired and no problems. About two miles from my house is an abandoned gravel pit on BLM land so I can get to 2000 yards or better.
Newcastle has a pretty good club (Weston County Sportsman's Club). We have a 300 yard outdoor range, a trap range, and an indoor range for winter shooting. $25 annual member ship gets you the combination to the range.
Spearfish SD isn't too far away (about an hour and a quarter drive) and every other week they have some sort of pistol match. Great people to shoot with and a lot of fun.
I got our club CMP affiliated and I'm getting CMP GSM matches and clinics going so we have some sort of rifle matches. The club just voted to get some targets so we can have some sort of steel matches going.
Hunting is pretty damn good here. Last year I left the house about daylight and was back by 9 AM (before wife got up to fix my breakfast) with my antelope.
I actually live in the Black Hills part of Wyoming. If you're into motorcycles you'll never find better riding then the Black Hills.
To the west is the Big Horns. Best horse back riding in the world.
As mentioned, I live in the NE Corner of the state. But this isn't the only area. Before you settle, travel the whole state, there are some dern nice places in Western Wyoming also.
Gun laws are reasonable. No permit required for CC.
Warning though, Wyoming is a pretty consecrative state. Big City ideals don't float here. People trying to change that don't fair well. We just want to be left alone to do our thing.
We do have a "Sundowner Law" meaning libs have to be out of town by sundown.

I never heard it referd to as the "sundowner law"!
Try and get away from the wind anywhere in this state, I dare ya!
Welcome to our humble State. If you do decide to move in, you will find that we are pretty close here. Being the state is just a hair over the 1/2 million mark in population, we tend to know each other pretty well. You will find that you can meet a complete stranger and in a few moments it will be obvious you have crossed paths before or have some common friends.
Our kids travel the whole state in sports, so if you attend a game, people will recognize you the next time.
Shooting in Wyoming is as easy as it gets. The eastern portions of the state are more privatly owned, but pretty much anywhere west of Casper is mostly public land and wide open for shooting.
The hunting in the Black Hills, as noted by Kraig is real good for antelope, whitetail and some elk along with turkey and sharptail grouse. The further west, as you get into the Bighorns and the Wind Rivers and the Absorokas, Mule deer and Elk become the major game animals, along with antelope on the high deserts along with sage grouse and blue and ruffed grouse.
Pheasant hunting is fairly poor in Wyoming, but moose and bighorn sheep hunting in the mountains is excellent, if you can draw a permit! We do have a small population of mountain goats that are hunted as a once in a lifetime lottery, but they are almost impossible to draw. And don't forget about the wild bison near the Jackson area. Someday I will get a tag!
If all goes as planned, wolves will be a preditor and leagl to shoot on site in all but the NW corner of the state come October 1. (I can't wait for that!)
And, as Kgaig said, we are who we are and don't like to be pushed in different directions. Firearms are in most vehicles and most kids learn to shoot early. Welocme to Wyoming.

Hiker 1,
You know how we tell that spring has arrived in Wyoming? All the license plates start turning green! Haha.
Just ribbing you. Have a great day, neighbor.

Green license plates refer to Colorado vehicles (which have green license plates).whose drivers go to Wyoming to play.
Did you hear that one day the wind stopped blowing in Wyoming?
They all fell down.
What's a Wyoming wind sock ?

Seriously, before retiring to Wyoming it might be a good idea to spend a February in the locale you're considering unless you plan to be a snowbird.
And indeed, do not expect big city services and help. The state isn't run that way. (a good thing, in my opinion)
God bless 'em for going to Constitutional carry :-)

To the OP. Best of luck to you. I'm sure you're going to love (wherever you choose to spend) your retirement.
I retired for a while. Traveled, but realized I don't really like it much anymore. (Hawaii, Mexico, etc.)
Then I got tired of watching the grass grow so I could have something to do.
I went back to school and got yet another degree, this time as an accounting major. Now I've got to get ready to sit for the CPA exam. If I am fortunate enough to get my CPA license, I hope to relocate to Wyoming or Montana, open a small accounting practice (setting my own hours and all), and pretty much do what you're talking about.
Hope I see you there.

Retirement isn't all it's cracked up to be.
Watching the grass grow just made me feel like I was killing time before the big dirt nap...
You're going to have a ball w/the new career.
Working because you want to is a lot more fun than working because you have to.

Thanks for the input gentlemen, 9/15/12
I appreciate the insight about retiring. I actually like my work so I probably will pick up some part time work (hospital or clinic) to keep busy and meet people. My medical specialty, Internal Medicine, is usually in demand in most small towns. I've got to remember to talk more about health care and less about shooting and hunting.
As for political views I am pretty conservative. When I was reading the Wyoming papers during my travels I noted one article where it was said they had diffuculty finding enough Democrats to run for political office. Right then I had the thought "this is the state for me." I prefer small towns and simple living.
Kraigwy- I spent a fair bit of time in your neighborhood. I came into Newcastle from Wright, ate lunch and then drove up to Upton and over to Sundance and then up to Devil's Tower. Beautiful country and certainly looked like a nice place to retire to.
Wyoredman- I did hit up many of the areas you mentioned. One question- a lot of the central land area seemed to be part of the Wind River Indian Reservation. Is there still a lot of non-Indian public land centrally for shooting and hunting/hiking?
To those Wyoming residents- I really enjoyed your state and stopped in all the small restaurants and guns shops I could find. Thanks for the hospitality.
best wishes- oldandslow

I retired 9 1/2 years ago at 55 and haven't regretted it for a second. When people think about preparing for retirement, they think about the money part. While that is important, I think your mental mindset and planning what you are going to do is more important. I started planning on retiring at 55 when I was 24.
For retirement, I moved to the remote mountains of Virginia into a 4600 sf house-$200,000-(near where I grew up). It has 6 1/2 acres with 2 good fishing ponds in the front yard. I have 4 geese, 7 goats, one donkey and one pony wandering around the place. My kids fondest memories of growing up was our camping trips so I bought a travel trailer for the grandchildren. I have two BMW motorcycles I ride through the mountains with other retired friends at least once a week in good weather. I have a 4X4 F-150 to wander through the backwoods. I have a 4X4 ATV to explore the backwoods where trucks can't go. I have 2 shotguns, 2 rifles and 2 handguns I can take out behind the house and shoot to my heart's content. I am an active member of both Kiwanis and Ruritan to help out children in the area.
I don't know how I ever had time to work and would hate the thoughts of going back to work.

Retired 8 years ago and moved from the wet side of WA to the Dry side (north Central WA). We have 10 acres and an 1800 sq ft cabin @ 3000' in teh Okanogna Highlands (snow all winter). Summer is spend in the "yard" trying to fireproof the 10 acres of open Pine, Fir and Larch...about 1/2 done. Winter is for play in the snow. We have a UTV (side by side ATV) for work and play. (it's Electric so I don't have to worry about driving 20 miles down the mountain to get more gas)
We have our own rifle range (200 yd) and pistol range (50 yd), and by using the attached carport off the garage as a covered firing position, we can shoot all year. Retirement is a lot of work...as was said, when did I ever have time to go to work?

Once you retire & go back to "just showing up" (not having the demands or pressures of a full time career position), you have more time to and less pressure on you when you are - talking non-shop.
Plus - it keep s you from falling into the "old person's syndrome" of having nothing to talk about but your health.
I swear by all that's holy, that that sort of crap put both my parents into an early grave...
They retired in their late 50's - moved to AZ. & a "retirement community", and all day long they and their "old folks" cronies did nothing but talk about their aches and pains & doctor's appointments,,,,medications and all that nonsense.
Believe me - if you have a chance to talk to a patient about non health issues, jump all over it & do them a huge favor.
You're probably going to add (quality) years to their lives.

Don't ask for ice cream on your apple pie in Wyoming. We stopped at some small town driving through and I wanted pie for dessert. I asked for a scoop of ice cream and the waitress said that was really weird. In fact, someone asked for ketchup for their fries the other day and freaked her out.
Must have been the Children of the Corn truck stop.
Besides that the country is really pretty.
As far as retirement, not really our venue - but if you still enjoy your job and can do it - don't retire. I've seen it all. Bitter folks still on the job. Happy retired, totally bored and still hanging around work.

We like Northern Wyoming except Gillette which is a stinky place. The area around the Big Horns is a favorite place to stop on our way through.
Sheridan is a friendly place.

Wyoming is a great state!
Well---I am one of them "greenies." I do like Wyoming!
Lots of freedom, nice folks (not lots of nice folks, cause there ain't "lots of people" ), lots of public land. No state income tax. Conservative. Nasty enough in the winter that Califonians don't move in by the train load and clutter up the state. Nice for 7 months most places. The NW corner has lots of amenities like the Bear Tooth Wilderness and Yellowstone.
Retirement just happened at our house. We have many things we like to do, and we were both ready to say to heck with working. We are sleeping better and staying busy. It is an adjustment, and lots of planning, investing time establishing enjoyable hobbies, and a positive attitude have been our main investment. We have some grandkids, and other family to visit with. We'll see. Neither of us are interested in returning to work at this point. More like, we are really interested in seeing if we can wear out our boat and catch a bunch of big fish, between her quilting and my shooting.

Travel; gunlawguide.com, David Wong...
If you retire or plan to travel around the USA/Canada, I'd suggest buying a current copy of www.gunlawguide.com . It'll help you stay; "street-legal".
David Wong, a respected atty who writes in several gun press publications wrote a practical gun/knife law guide too. Wong includes the US possessions & Washington DC(including US national parks). I'm not sure of the title.
Handgunlaw.us is free & useful too. It's updated often.
Travel safe & enjoy the sights, ....

W/some of the posts I've got to tell my story.
I was always a city boy who loved to shoot, hunt and fish.
I moved up into the Cumberland Mountains (the natives called it the "plateau.")
When I wanted to shoot I went out to the back yard and shot my handguns at my targets and dueling tree. If I wanted to hunt I walked down the hill off to the side of the house. If I wanted to fish I carried my canoe across the street to the bass pond. And I did a great deal of all those things.
But, and I'm ashamed to admit it, it got boring. Something about being able to, and actually doing, something so much, it just got old.
Go figure.

I've been retired for over 18 years.
If I get bored with shooting, I go fishing, if I get bored with fishing I go horse back riding or take trips on my Harley.
I became a member of the Patriot Riders and provide escorts and stand the Flag Line for my fellow veterans.
I some times just head out to Oregon to visit my kids or take my wife to OK so she can visit her mother while I clean out the turtles and bass out of her stock ponds.
I teach CMP and GSM clinics and run sniper schools for small departments.
Plus I shoot competition.
Being bored with retirement hasn't been a big problem with me.

text: Peter Rugg of The Pitch magazine's Wayward Blog recently conducted an interview with METALLICA's former performance coach Phil Towle (who was extensively featured in the band's 2004 documentary "Some Kind of Monster"). A couple of excerpts from the chat follow below.The Pitch: What's your relationship with the band right now? Phil Towle: I'm friends with the members of the band. I spoke to Lars [Ulrich, drums] just a couple of days ago, and we keep in close touch. There's no professional contact at this point in time. The Pitch: When you first started working with METALLICA, you said the results wouldn't be seen until the next album. Now that you're listening to the new album, what are the results? Phil Towle: I think they're in better shape to be successful creatively. And the music sounds like it to me. I feel their power. I feel their confidence. I don't feel them as tentative. I feel they're strong in their message musically and lyrically. It's all visceral to me. They feel like they're having fun and doing something they enjoy doing with each other. They feel to me like they enjoyed this project and enjoyed playing this music, and they did a great job. The Pitch: Where is this band psychologically compared to where they were when you met them? Phil Towle: I feel where we were before was in the process of construction. And there is great pleasure one ought to get out of the reconstruction phase. But it's different, like if you were rebuilding a house and you get to look at the foundation, and as you rebuild in the various different stages you appreciate what's done, and in the end the end product is what they're celebrating more now. They're celebrating what they're capable of doing. Although I'm real curious already to see what they're going to do with the next album. The Pitch: With the football teams, you can measure success in yards earned and Super Bowl trophies. Since music is more intangible, how do you know whether you helped METALLICA? Phil Towle: We were measuring success in terms of making sure the band regained itself. Some people say the band was saved because it was headed for destruction. Management was justifiably concerned the band was imploding and would die a death many bands do. And their personal behaviors were self-destructive, and their ways of interacting were self-destructing. Once you're on the other side of that, now you can start measuring objectively as much as you can in the artistry of it all. Albums sold: popularity. Of course, selling albums doesn't necessarily mean they're great. We can argue forever subjectively whether someone's a real talent. Celebrity doesn't mean they're a talent. To me they are now in a position to make a positive impact on our society. The Pitch: You know, a lot of METALLICA fans, seeing that documentary, thought your work with them was just proof the band was adrift and weak. That it was the least "metal" thing they could do. Phil Towle: I think people are taking a snapshot. They listen to a cut from "Some Kind of Monster" and they don't like the sounds and compare it to what they've heard before, so that becomes a failure to them. To a performance coach, that's part of a process. The members of METALLICA are better band mates, better human beings, fathers, not because of what I did but what we did on a consistent basis over those months and years. We took time out over the course of those months and years to explore our personalities. So I don't take a snapshot. I look at it as what it was during its time and serving its purpose. The Pitch: Given your background in psychology, do you think people have a point when they say the ["Death Magnetic"] album cover looks like a vagina? Phil Towle: Well… I hadn't thought about it that way. I've talked to a few people about the cover. People seem to like it. It looks like a crypt to me. Psychologically, the most important thing is why do we see it the way we see it. Why do I see it as a crypt? Am I influenced by "Death Magnetic"? To me it doesn't look that way but maybe it's because I'm coming up on 70. That's the wonderful thing about art. Read the entire interview at this location.

2K Games and Gearbox have finally revealed the previously hush-hush multiplayer modes of Duke Nukem Forever via the Official Xbox Magazine. And honestly, we don't know what the big fuss was about. Picture any mode you're ever played before in a multiplayer game and paste a bunch of Duke Nukem skins on all the characters. There you go. That's Duke Nukem Forever's multiplayer in a nutshell.
The specific game modes to be included are Dukematch, Team Dukematch, Capture the Babe (Capture the Flag) and Hail to the King (King of the Hill). As you can probably guess, Dukematch and Team Dukematch are deathmatch and team deathmatch, respectively. Teams will be broken into red shirts versus blue shirts. Not exactly rocket science.
Capture the Babe is really the only eye-catching mode included, and it has nothing to do with the actual gameplay. Instead, Capture the Babe lets you give a "reassuring" slap to the ass of your Babe when she starts to freak out. You smell that? It smells like controversy.
Duke Nukem Forever will launch with 10 maps out of the box. You can also expect a jetpack to show face in DNF multiplayer, as well as an experience point system that lets you customize your Duke. However, you cannot customize away his horribly out-dated flat-top crew cut.

Passions ran deep with the Baltimore "rowdies" prior to their attack on the Sixth Massachusetts Regiment. The plot to assassinate President-elect Lincoln on his passage through Baltimore on February 23, 1861 required the mobs to distract and incite the populace while the attempt was made on Lincoln's life. So with crowds already impassioned by secessionist fervor and the resolutions passed at a "States Rights Convention" held in the city, they were incited to violence - even treason - when the 6th Massachusetts, responding to President Lincoln's call for 75,000 volunteers, arrived in the city on April 19. While the Federal troops were approaching Baltimore, an anti-Lincoln rally was in progress.
The Sixth Massachusetts arrived at the President Street Station. Expecting trouble, those on the train were told to ignore insults and the throwing of stones and other objects, but "if fired upon, . . . your officers will order you to fire." The troops were to transfer to the Camden Street Station for the final leg to Washington by marching in military formation but it was decided to tow the cars by teams of horses for the cross-city trip. The crowd attacked anyway, resulting in the deaths of ten soldiers and eleven citizens.
With other northern troops prevented from passing through Baltimore, Lincoln feared for the defense of the capital surrounded by Virginia and Maryland. In a state of great agitation, he told the Massachusetts troops after their arrival, "I don't believe there is any North. The Seventh Regiment [NY] is a myth. Rhode Island [the First RI Regiment] is not known in our geography any longer. You are the only Northern realities."
The President ordered General Winfield Scott to bombard Baltimore "if necessary" and suspend the writ of habeas corpus "if absolutely necessary." Until the July 1863 draft riots, no other city acted as the mobs in Baltimore.

Tom Hanks, Julia Roberts, and Knitting: Enjoy!!
by Emma Grady, New York, NY on 05. 5.11
From the Hollywood hills to Machu Piccho, Peru, yarn graffiti is taking over urban to rural landscapes.
Chances are you've seen it in person--or if you frequent TreeHugger, you've at leastread about yarn bombing. Well, Sarah Gonzalez is making her directing debut with a documentary on the subject, but she needs help (via Craft). Watch the trailer:
Of course, I've read about the yarn knitting movement here on TreeHugger but I had no idea what a global movement it was. Plus, the doc focuses on interesting philosophical points surrounding the movement such as the intersection of this female-dominated craft with the male-dominated world of graffiti. From the filmmakers:
The primary goal of this documentary is to formally introduce the world to Yarn Bombing, giving a retrospective history...Topics of discussion will touch on why Yarn Bombing is dominated by women, how it differs from male-dominated crafts, and whether commissioned artists have "sold out" from their guerilla, graffiti roots.
Visit IndieGoGo to help the filmmakers get this documentary made, and don't worry if you're short on cash, they have a "Starving Artist" contribution at $10--every little bit helps!
Also a stylist and the founder of PastFashionFuture.com, Emma Grady is the resident fashion expert at TreeHugger.com. Find her on Facebook and Twitter.

Increasing credit restrictions over the past couple of years have had a noticeable effect on small businesses. Banks, stifled by their own capital needs, have put increasingly tighter regulations on small business loans. This has made it difficult for companies that seek to grow or recapitalize existing loans, buy equipment or real estate, add to their work force, and for entrepreneurs to start new businesses.
It has also constrained small businesses from producing new jobs to spur the economy which is what is needed during difficult economic times. In the past, the Small Business Administration (SBA) has offered small businesses loan guaranties through many of its loan programs and has also made government contracts available to small businesses.
However, 2011 may provide a light at the end of the tunnel for some small businesses in desperate need of funds. The Small Business Administration has introduced some much-needed programs, including the Small Loan Advantage and Community Advantage.
The SBA is confident that these two new initiatives will increase the amount of loans to those businesses in need of smaller business loans and to businesses in under-served communities. These two new initiatives build off the SBAs "Advantage" platform and will offer a streamlined application process for SBA 7(a) loans of up to $250,000.
The Small Loan Advantage Program has the following characteristics:
- Structured to encourage larger, existing SBA lenders (intermediaries) to make lower-dollar loans, which often benefit businesses in under-served markets.
- Maximum Loan Size: $250,000
- Guarantee: 85% for loans up to $150,000 and 75% for those greater than $150,000.
- Approval Time: Loans submitted electronically through e-Tran (SBA's electronic system for submitting certain SBA loans and loan servicing requests) will be approved within minutes. Other applications will be approved within one business day.
- Paperwork: Streamlined paperwork, with a two-page application for borrowers.
- Lender Requirements: Open to banks participating in SBA's Preferred Lender Program (PLP) which includes many of the nation's largest lenders.
- Time Frame: Implemented on or before March 15, 2011.
The Community Advantage Program has the following characteristics:
- Pilot initiative aimed at increasing the number of SBA 7(a) lenders who reach under-served communities, targeting mission-focused financial institutions which were not able to offer SBA loans previously.
- Maximum Loan Size: $250,000
- Guarantee: 85% for loans up to $150,000 and 75% for those greater than $150,000.
- Approval Times: Most loans will be approved within 5 to 10 days.
- Paperwork: Features streamlined paperwork, with a two page application for borrowers.
- Lender Requirements: Open to mission-focused lenders, including some Community Development Financial Institutions (CDFIs), non-profit Certified Development Companies and SBA-approved micro-lending intermediaries. Community Advantage lenders will be expected to maintain at least 60% of their SBA loan portfolio in under-served markets.
- Time Frame: Three-year pilot initiative. SBA will begin taking applications from mission-focused lenders interested in this program on or before Feb. 15, 2011, with loan applications accepted on or before March 15, 2011.
Smaller lending institutions have understandably been hesitant about loaning money; however, with the implementation of such programs, the guarantees will help assuage lenders worried about high rates of default during tough economic times.
Additionally, these new programs will put funds in the hands of the borrowers at a more efficient pace, thereby allowing them to deploy capital more quickly. Perhaps most importantly, the Community Advantage Program will help communities that have historically been under-served by working with institutions already experienced in lending in economically-challenged markets and also have management and technical assistance expertise.
It can only be hoped that in 2011 the economy will begin to bounce back thanks in part to the availability of more borrowing opportunities to companies and under-served communities.

A female teacher at a Maryland high school was charged Tuesday with exchanging sexually explicit photos with a student, authorities said.
Erin Thorne, 28, was charged with one count of displaying obscene matter to a minor and one count of solicitation of child pornography. She turned herself into police Tuesday afternoon, according to the Anne Arundel County Police Department.
Thorne was an English teacher, girls' basketball coach and student government association adviser at Broadneck High School in Annapolis, said Anne Arundel County Public Schools spokesman Bob Mosier. She has not been at Broadneck since November, when the school system was first notified of a possible inappropriate relationship and placed Thorne on paid administrative leave.
According to a charging document, a student who had graduated from Broadneck in 2011 said Thorne began pursuing an inappropriate relationship with him during the fall of his senior year.
Thorne asked the victim to send her naked pictures of himself, and he did so. In return, Thorne sent him sexually provocative, naked photos of herself. The photos were exchanged through text messages, the court document stated.
Additionally, the student told authorities that he and Thorne also had engaged in sexual activity, but that it began after he turned 18, according to the document.
Anne Arundel Superintendent Kevin Maxwell said Tuesday he will recommend to the Board of Education that Thorne be suspended pending termination.
"The kind of behavior that Erin Thorne is charged with engaging in cannot be tolerated at any school in our county, or in our nation for that matter," Maxwell said in a statement. "Preying on children in any way should not be excused for a single moment."
Last week, a science teacher at McKinley Technology High School in Northeast D.C. was arrested on a child pornography charge after he allegedly convinced a male student to take sexually explicit photos of himself. According to court documents filed this week, the teacher, John Solano, admitted to engaging in sexually explicit conversations with as many as 10 students during his teaching career.

Independent College, Homerton
Independent College, Homerton, later Homerton Academy, was a dissenting academy just outside London, England, in the 18th and early 19th centuries.
In 1695 the Congregational Fund was set up in London to provide for the education of Calvinist ministers, and to provide an alternative to the education offered by the Universities of Oxford and Cambridge, which was barred by law to English Dissenters. Around 35 of these so-called dissenting academies arose during the 18th century, offering education without the requirement of conformity to the Church of England.[1] They promoted a more modern curriculum of science, philosophy and modern history than the ancient universities who took a more traditionalist approach to learning. One of these was the Independent College, Homerton, which appointed Dr John Conder as President in 1754. It was supported by the King's Head Society.
In 1850 the union of the Homerton establishment with Daventry Academy and Highbury College resulted in the creation of New College London.[2]
Homerton College was known as King's Head Academy when it moved in 1768/69 from Plasterers' Hall, London, to a large house on the north side of the high street of Homerton, in the parish of Hackney, close to London, in which they sought to base all their teaching. The trustees were appointed by the King's Head Society and were strict Calvinists.[3] From 1817 the trustees were appointed by the Homerton Academy Society instead of by the King's Head Society. The name was changed to Homerton College in 1823.[3]
Teachers and students[edit]
Dr John Conder was the theological tutor at Plaisterer's Hall Academy in 1754; and residential tutor and theological tutor at Mile End Academy (1754 to 1769) then the theological tutor at Homerton Academy (1769 to 1781).[4] Dr. Daniel Fisher was the resident tutor at Homerton Academy (1771 to 1781); then the theology tutor (1781 to 1803).[5] From 1800 John Pye-Smith one of the best known non-conformist theologians of his day,was residential tutor and in effect principal at Homerton from 1805 to 1850.[6] The College boasted several members of distinction: one of its tutors, Henry Mayo, was described by James Boswell as Samuel Johnson's "literary anvil"; another was offered a Doctorate of Divinity by Yale College.
The College only ever had between 12 and 20 students at any time. In 1819 the society supported 12 of the 18 students with the remain 6 by the Congregational Fund Board.[3] This allowed the College to train ministers who came from the poorer non-conformist communities, such as Ezekiel Blomfield,[7] who led congregations in Wymondham, Harleston and Wortwell in Norfolk.[8] Ministers trained at the College also chose to become missionaries, such as Edward Stallybrass, who became a Congregational missionary with the London Missionary Society to the Buryat people of Siberia.[9][10]
Evolution into Homerton College, Cambridge[edit]
In 1824 the building itself was added to and partially rebuilt. Not long afterwards, following the liberalisation of access to English universities, the work of the dissenting academies could become mainstream. University College London became the first English university to admit students without a need for conformity to the Established Church. In 1850 the College was refounded by the Congregational Board of Education to concentrate on the study of education itself. It did so by transferring its theological courses to New College London, whose Congregationalist Principal was the Rev. John Harris DD. The Congregational Board purchased the buildings at Hackney and the students and staff moved into the vacant college buildings at Cambridge. Initially taking the name of Homerton New College at Cavendish College, it shortly became just Homerton College, Cambridge, with John Charles Horobin as the first Principal.[11]

James Pearsall & Co.
James Pearsall & Co. is a long-established silk thread manufacturing company in London.
The firm was founded in 1795 as Pearsall & Green, wholesale and retail silk merchants. The company supplied the lace industry in the west of England, which was flourishing at this time. The company shop at 134 Cheapside, London EC. became a well known resort for the ladies of London to buy silks for the knitted and netted purses fashionable at this time.
In 1865, William George Rawlinson, a silk merchant from Taunton in Somerset, purchased the company, by now titled James Pearsall & Co. Rawlinson left the company name unchanged and ran the business in connection with his silk mills in Taunton.
During the early and mid 19th century, the staple trade consisted of the import of Berlin wools, needlework and embroidery silks from Germany, together with a considerable trade in silks for fringes, scarves and for use in machines.
The company continues today as Pearsalls Ltd., producing silk thread for embroidery and gosamer silk thread for fly tyers and fishing rod makers.
