Pena Seals Win # 80 for Rays
I was watching ESPN's Baseball Tonight last night and was a bit flabbergasted that the guys on the panel have pretty much given up on the New York Yankees with 29 games to go in the season. Now I am a true Rays fan and not a Yankee fan in any measure of the word, but I would think you would wait until there are maybe a dozen games before dooming a franchise. The reason I mention this is that the Yankees 12 year post season run seems to have run it's course.
I am glad that we will take that sacred position in the post season away from the boys in the Bronx, but at what cost will it be to us next year. We all know that Hank Steinbrenner will be reloading the team with a pitching staff next season and it should be a dogfight from day 1 in the AL East.
I actually think we took everyone by surprise in the AL East this year. The Yankees and Toronto Blue Jays might have thought they have a year before we might stick our heads into the top spot in the division. But leave it to us to ruin everyone elses plans for us. By staying on top of this division, we will set a standard that you will have to play to stay at the top from this moment forward.
Boston has been getting all the headlines for it's injuries this season, while we have stayed a bit under the radar and also won in spite of key injuries in the begining, middle, and end of our season. that is a true testament to the squad that Rays Manager Joe Maddon has built since the spring, and will carry into the first post season action of our franchise.
We all knew that Eric Hinske would have a great year, but he has sttod up amazingly during Carl Crawford's absence in leftfield. Hinske is hitting .400 since Carl hit the DL in Seattle, and is showing no signs of letting up at the plate. Willy Aybar has been amazing at the corner and has taken some heat on defense, but his offense has picked up just in time to ease the burden of Evan Longoria's wrist situation.
The Rays have a great chance to gain Percival and Longoria back on the roster during this homestand, and that would be amazing news considering we have a monster stretch of games against divivion foes in their house coming up in the next week or so. The presence of those two players should put the spark back into the Rays' both in the pitching staff and the plate as Longoria makes a late charge in his bid for the Rookie of the Year honors.
The Rays truly dodged a bullet last night against Toronto starting pitcher David Purcey. The 6′ 5″ lefty was hitting all his spota and his curve had an amazing 5 inch break on it last night that promted 11 Rays to swing and miss. To put his game into prospective, Pursey came into the game with a 2-5 mark and a unimpressive 6.15 ERA. By the end of the night he had the Rays hoping they will not see the tall lefty again in Toronto next week.
In the 4th inning last night, Carlos Pena hit his 27th homer to right field and gave the Rays the lone run they would need for the victory. Pena went 2-3 on the night, also getting a single to right in the 1st inning. Only Carlkos Quentin ( 14 ) of the White Sox has more homers since the All Star break than Pena (12).
Pena has 6 homers in his last 13 games, and 12 in his last 29 games for the Rays. Pena is batting .246, which is highest average he has had this year. No other first baseman in the AL has more homers than Pena this season. His 72 homers over 2007-2008, is second in the AL only trailing the Yankees Alex Rodriquez who has 82 homers in the two year span.
Rays starter, Matt Garza picked up his 11th victory last night in the pitchers duel. Garza was going for his 3rd victory this season over the Jays. In his last 3 starts against them, Garza was 2-1 with a 0.39 ERA. In his last start against Toronto Garza posted a 5-hit complete game in the Rogers Centre in Toronto.
Garza last night pitched 7.2 innings of 6 hit ball and earned his 3rd shutout of the season. Garza threw 115 pitches and got 5 strikeouts on the night. Garza only had a small handful of men in scoing position last night. The Jays ended up leaving 8 men stranded on base, with no baserunner getting past second base all night long. Garza had 4 innings of 4 batters or less on the night to secure his 11th win.
On the night, the play that would define this game was not a homer, or a well picthed curve. It was a high hit long fly ball to leftfield that Justin Ruggiano jumped up and took off the green wall to seal the win for the Rays. During the last homestand, Ruggiano made a questionable play in left during the late innings of a game against the L A Angels.
Tonight Ruggiano made up for that play and more on a running and leaping grab of Rod Baraja's sure extra base hit off the plastic in leftfield. The play was worthy of a Top 5 ESPN play of the night, but the panel was in a "throwing mood" and only gave Ruggiano a Honorable Mention.
To put this play into prospective, the play would have put Barajas on second base and in postion to maybe tie the game for the Jays. Ruggiano was rewarded with a shaving cream pie from Rocco Baldelli during his interview with Todd Kalas on the Rays Television Network.
Last night was the Rays 80th victory of the season and puts their home record at 48-19, only 1 victory shy of the Chicago Cub's major league high of 49 wins at home this year. The win was also 10 more than the Rays previous franchise win record and kept them 3.5 games above the Boston Red Sox for the division lead.
The Rays have currently 28 series wins this year, top spot in the majors this season. The Rays will be going for series number 29 as the Jays and Ray and are the best in the majors.

Firstly, im just trying to optimise my experience with playing FFVII and FFIX on my Galaxy S (still at least a month until i can get my SIII ). Everything is perfect with the inbuilt plugin, but is pixelated.
OpenGL is smooth and looks great, but has a couple of problems that i cant find a way to fix.
first off, for both games, when framelimiter is turned off, the games run anywhere from 60-200fps (the opening for FFXI flies by lol). But when i turn the limiter on, the FPS drop to sub 40. Also on both games, the "battel swirl" animation is just a black screen, with slowdown to ~17FPS, with speedup in battle (FFVII is perfect speed in battle, FFIX is around 40ish.) Both have "garbage graphics" errors out of battle, but perfect graphics in battle.
I did have a problem with the cursor in FFVII (the white hand) being black, but that seems to have fixed itself (plugin not loading correctly maybe? it was only noticed right after switching to OpenGL).
I have tried every option in the plugin settings one by one, and all together to try and fix these issues, bit to no avail. Im hoping to have the graphics perfect on my Galaxy S before i get my SIII, so that i dont have to fiddle too much with settings.

More than 25 years of ministryTimothy Kellgren has made a lasting impact on the community of Petaluma, Calif., through the many social ministries he has founded and supported in more than 25 years of ministry with Elim Lutheran Church. His impact on this community is so deep and lasting that in 2014, the same year as his retirement, the city of Petaluma voted Pastor Kellgren as 2014 Citizen of the Year. Kellgren is a man whose faith has made him an activist for a better community and a better world in ways large and small; global and local.
Kellgren had his eyes constantly on the needs of the Petaluma community. Affordable senior housing, shelter for the homeless, food resources for the community, a preschool and a medical clinic are all results of Kellgren's tireless work to help his congregation live out their faith in the community. A congregation member says, "In Tim's view, all of these activities are simply the result of acting upon his Christian faith—a faith that calls him to 'radical love' for his fellow humans and to strive for social justice in every corner of the world." These effective and creative ministries offer the church community a way to live out their faith and share their gifts through service and relationship with their neighbors in the community.
Kellgren's leadership led Elim Lutheran church to ministry across the globe, as well. A relationship with the New Life Band from Arusha Tanzania developed into ongoing support for the ministry of the church in Tanzania. Elim Lutheran has provided support to build a hostel where female students, teachers and visitors live while teaching, learning and serving. This relationship between Elim and the New Life Band has resulted in shared ministry between the United States and Tanzania and many visits for education, worship and building lasting relationships. He also initiated the congregation's annual mission to build houses in Mexico.
Pastor Kellgren was loved deeply by his congregation at Elim Lutheran during his many years there. Kellgren prioritized building relationships with his congregation, especially the children and youth. One congregant says that Tim offered the "most engaging preaching I had ever heard—at once deeply comforting and rousingly uncomfortable to the material and self-focused aspect of myself" while another declares that "we as parishioners could see the faith, love and Holy Spirit literally pour out of this man, week in and week out!" Pastor Tim was a truly gifted leader, talented preacher, effective teacher, and a man of many accomplishments, but he will be remembered for his unwavering faith in Christ that was always central to his ministry.
Less than 25 years of ministryNijhar Jharia Minz-Ekka is a true pioneer in women's ministry in India and will be an inspiration to women in India for years to come. Her passion for sharing the gospel as far and wide as she can has been a worldwide adventure, from her native northern India, to Minnesota where she completed her Master of Theology at Luther Seminary and her Ph.D. at the University of Minnesota. Minz-Ekka holds the honored distinction of being the first woman to be ordained in her church body and the first woman in the North Western Gossner Evangelical Lutheran Church in North India to earn a Ph.D.
Ministry in northern India is in Minz-Ekka's DNA. She is a fourth generation Christian leader in northern India, a region where the church is still being established and ministry can be dangerous work. A colleague says that "watching the ministry she and [her husband] Neeraj and her parents have dreamed of and brought to reality demonstrates faithfulness to the gospel, and lives filled with faith to purchase property, develop the mission of the school, raise funds and complete a Ph.D., all while raising four children. Her dedication to her faith and work speaks to her commitment to her calling to ministry."
The Christian community in Ranchi, India, led by Minz-Ekka and her family, works not only to build the church and share the gospel, but also to build a Christian seminary to educate the whole community. When developing the mission of the Navin Doman Theological College, they have been diligent to offer holistic programs giving the students opportunities to grow in Christ and serve the entire community by being salt and light. Apart from theological education, students are nurtured to be mentors to children in the neighborhood. As part of this, the school offers English classes, Bible studies, general health information and health clinics. Plans for the future include community health ministry, trainings for lay ministers and teaching better agricultural practices. This openness to the community can lead to better understanding and acceptance between diverse religious groups in the community.
Working with women has been a cornerstone of Minz-Ekka's work in India and the United States. During the construction of the theological school, she often intentionally sought out interactions with the women working as laborers. She approached each woman regardless of her faith and asked them to share their stories. By listening to them, she gave them dignity and helped them understand their value and see the importance of their work despite a culture that told them otherwise. This intentional listening helped these women to regard the Christianity she represented with respect. Minz-Ekka has a gift to connect with people in love and openness, making genuine connections and sharing her faith.
More than 25 years of ministryRachel Thorson Mithelman is a vibrant leader whose passion is helping congregations extend a welcome to the communities beyond their doors. Following 10 years in rural and small town ministry, she spent over 20 years in two downtown congregations, Our Savior's in LaCrosse, Wis., and St. John's in Des Moines, Iowa. In these congregations extending hospitality has resulted in congregational renewal. One parishioner wrote, "She helped us become aware of tremendous needs in the LaCrosse community and especially in our neighborhood. She would preach on these pressing issues from the pulpit, teach the gospel of hospitality and justice in Bible study and tell stories about the people she was meeting and ministering to in church council, board and congregational meetings. She stirred our hearts and led us to act."
This gift for helping downtown congregations that were once much larger and more prosperous continue in vibrant and meaningful ministry includes helping them review and give thanks for their heritage while exploring and rejoicing in the unique gifts given for the present moment. In partnership with Mithelman, the congregations in LaCrosse and Des Moines have both embraced new identities as centers for mission, grateful to serve Jesus as he appears to them in the unique downtown community: in the homeless and hungry, the wealthy, the traveler and the artist, as well as those often rejected by others because of their sexual orientation or gender identity. With Mithelman's help, these downtown congregations have established thriving community relationships through feeding the hungry, sheltering survivors of domestic violence, providing clothing for women in poverty, and reaching out to children in under-served neighborhoods through after school instruction in the arts.
Mithelman helped her congregations see the needs of neighbors around the globe as well as those next door. She was one of the early supporters of the Lutheran World Relief Coffee Project, and has assisted St. John's in establishing a companion parish relationship with a congregation in the Pare Diocese of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in Tanzania. She has led several journeys by St. John's members to Tanzania to foster relationships, worship together and participate in projects benefitting women and children.
Mithelman is a faithful leader for her community. A congregant leaves words of praise: "Pastor Rachel provided the moral and spiritual guidance that helped us see the face of Jesus in all those who came to our door, a reminder that we were not burdened but privileged to serve others."
TRUTH Houston, Missouri City, Texas
Wherever there was a challenge that needed a gospel witness in his community, Stephen Quill was on the forefront of using innovation and creativity to address a human need, to unite a divided community or to address a pressing social issue.
The list is huge. And most of the initiatives he started continue to this day. Some of these initiatives include the Austin Hispanic ministry program, the New Hope Free Clinic, Family Promise for the homeless and many MATRIX experiences.
Quill is also adept at getting others involved. In order to sustain these ministries, congregation and community leaders were needed to serve with their gifts and talents as well. He introduced new ministries and followed through with their visions and commitments, even in the face of initial resistance from people in his congregations and communities.
As one of Quill's colleagues remarked, "No matter how long it takes or tough the fight, Steve never gives up and always believes that if the cause is right, then God will bring people to see the light." In all of his ministry, Quill has remained focused on the gospel message. He is well known for his inspiring preaching. In the words of one colleague, "Steve is truly evangelical, in the sense that the table he sets is for all. Steve has been able to keep an open heart and mind for all kinds of people without forgetting that his purpose is to make the gospel known in word and deed."
Quill finds pleasure not in the success of numbers, but rather the success of communities in meeting the needs of those who have been cast aside, and in authentic relationships honoring differences and unity. Another colleague says, "Steve's preaching comforts the afflicted and afflicts the comfortable." In the words of his own bishop, Michael Rinehardt, "Pastor Stephen Quill is a gift to the ELCA."
Your support ensures that future church leaders can pursue their call in ministry.

text: I recently worked with a client that had figured out half the formula for content marketing. The problem was the other half. The company had invested many thousands of dollars into building a library of white papers written by professional business communicators, but it then hid this treasure on its website behind a byzantine registration wall that involved email confirmations, a membership form and renavigation from the home page. Not surprisingly, performance was atrocious. Search engines couldn't see the content, and the haiku-like descriptions gave visitors no idea what they would get for their trouble. The company had invested in all the hard stuff but neglected the basics. This situation isn't unusual. I recently visited the site of a large, well-heeled b-to-b software company that was bulging with white papers, e-books and videos. The problem was that access to most of the content was blocked by lengthy registration forms that led to two phone calls from salespeople. Treating your top-of-the-funnel prospects like that is risky business. Marketers constantly wrestle with the lead-gen conundrum. They hate to spend good money on content without getting a lead in return; but getting that contact information requires hiding content where search engines and passers-by can't find it. Much of what sits behind lead-gen walls shouldn't even be there. Early-funnel content that's intended to create awareness and build thought leadership should be easy for search engines and visitors to find. Similarly, content that's more than a year old has probably exhausted its lead-gen potential and can be exposed to the world. If you're going to firewall content, at least give the search engines something to work with. Write robust summaries and descriptive headlines that encapsulate key points and lead people to want more. Why pay for 5,000 words of wisdom if you're only going to expose 10 of them to the outside world? See how Forrester Research and Gartner Inc. promote their paid research for inspiration. You should also conduct a content audit. Often companies are shocked to find how many of their assets are concentrated at the top of the funnel or in one type of medium, such as white papers or slide decks. Look at your content portfolio as a cube, with the x-axis being content type, the y-axis denoting stage of the funnel and the z-axis depicting media. You want to fill as many of those squares as possible. For example, a customer case study can be packaged as a video, text and audio interview, and angled at prospects at the middle and bottom of the funnel. Don't be afraid to reuse content. It may be possible for a thought-leadership white paper to be easily edited and repackaged as a decision-maker's checklist. When you're paying by the word, wring the most value out of every syllable. Paul Gillin's latest book is "Attack of the Customers: Why Critics Assault Brands Online and How to Avoid Becoming a Victim."

There seems to be some who have the attitude that religious people are BAD people. If a religious person does anything good in their life it is seen by some that they are only doing it for their eternal life not for the sake of doing something good. As if the only thing they live for is their eternal so-called reward in heaven.
Is it black and white?
Are they bad people just because they believe in God? There are many good people who are believers. Many. They may not have fully thought through WHY they believe in God or the evidence that supports that there IS no evidence for a God or they would be Atheists. But just because they haven't walked the same journey you have in life, or were born in to a religious family, does this make them a bad person?
Some of you seem to think that just because a person believes in a God, this somehow makes them bad. If you truly believe this I have a questions for you:
Who are YOU to judge another person like that? Are you not then just as judgmental and closed minded as the very people who you say are bad people? Does this make YOU a bad person?
Think about it.

Tom - I agree. On a related note, from the Buddhist psychotherapist, John Welwood:
"The word compassion literally means "feeling with." You can't have compassion unless you're first willing to feel what you feel. Opening to what you feel reveals a certain rawness and tenderness—what Trungpa Rinpoche spoke of as the "soft spot," which is the seed of bodhicitta [kindheartedness]."
People who really know themselves can understand others better. People who can admit their badness can understand it in others.
Richard Dawkins doesn't know when to shut up. In my opinion, in his position, he should be more responsible and just use his brain more. If I've come up with an alternative - he should have done the same, it wasn't difficult, and he's much more brainy than me.
Belle, I think it's up to you to present some kind of alternative position which other people can learn from and follow. If you've got the ideas - you put them together, since no-one else is going to. That's all that RD does. His ideas aren't even particularly good. He just has a big mouth and lots of money. He's in a position of authority since he went to Cambridge and is a famous scientist, and is very brainy. Well, we all have a brain and a computer. It's all about the D.I.Y. action.
How many atheists I wonder could say the same thing about a theist.
Richard Dawkins would be one of them. He and the ex Archbishop of Canterbury were quite friendly and he respects him a great deal.
What if being a free thinker involved the ability to identify with religions to the extent that you could refute their claims based on their own language?
How can you refute fantasy with fantasy, Belle? How can someone refute claims that present no evidence, based on other claims that present no evidence?
It would require some humbling and empathy.
It would require circular logic, fallacies and using "feeling" as proof. None of which is humbling. It is embarrassing and detrimental to any debate or meaningful discussion.
But it would go a longer way in allowing atheists to be heard for what atheism really is as opposed to turning people off with contempt and ridicule.
Daniel Dennett for one, is very mild and polite in his interaction with theists and he is one of the "four horsemen". Hemant Mehta is the "Friendly Atheist" yet his voice tends to be cast down with the "hateful" atheists. Seth Andrews (The Thinking Atheists) often has theists as guests on his show, and often is a guest on theist shows, and is very kind and respectful, yet Seth gets countless hate messages and posts on his facebook page, in his email and so on.
How many atheists send death threats to theists, Belle? What if being a theist involved the ability to identify with non believers to the extent that you could speak to them without labeling them as baby eating monsters or feeling the need to "save them"?
That is why most atheists treat theists with ridicule and contempt, Belle. Because they treat us with worse.
"That is why most atheists treat theists with ridicule and contempt, Belle. Because they treat us with worse."
But Milos, these are the morals of the playground. Would it not be nice for atheism to move forward - past the age of 8?
"What if being a free thinker involved the ability to identify with religions to the extent that you could refute their claims based on their own language? It would require some humbling and empathy. But it would go a longer way in allowing atheists to be heard for what atheism really is as opposed to turning people off with contempt and ridicule."
With the emphasis on the free and thinker.
@Belle -
"... the ability to identify with religions to the extent that you could refute their claims based on their own language?"
I don't see any need to refute their claims. There's nothing inherently wrong with believing in God - or even inaccurate. I see a need for religious people sometimes to become less confused about what's important.
Milos: Because they treat us with worse.
Some of them, most of them, or all of them?
Does it matter to you?
Not generally no. I tend to keep them further from me, not letting them get as close, not telling them as much as I would normal people, not joking with them like I would my normal friends, but they're not bad. They CAN be bad, but so can any single person you meet, religious or not, black, white, whatever. Anyone can do bad things and be considered a bad person for doing those bad things.
Bad really isn't the word for it.
Ignorant is.
Frankly, I do not like theists.
I think, for the most part, the religious ones are ignorant mightier-than-thou pricks.
But then again, non-religious theists are much more common where I live. Most people here identify with a religion, but never pick up a bible and never go to church. I like those theists.
You don't like theists.
I like those who lead theists less; they are con artists, swindlers.
People are born neutral and it comes down to how they are raised to how they view the world. It is more than black and white but religious or not is not the defining factor in what makes someone good or bad. The definition of what is bad is an individual one for the most part but also to an extent is the concept of good. A person may do something good with the belief that it will benefit them in some way, but is the good they have done undone by this belief? No the good was still done and visa-versa with bad . There is an old saying some of the worst decisions where made with the best intentions in mind.
Peace be the Journey

More cartoons for you all and this time you will learn "how to draw a cartoon fish", step by step. Cartoon animals and creatures can be very easy to draw because they are big, bold and very circular at times. The fish I will be giving you all a lesson on is a salt water species and they are called "blue tang". You may notice that this particular fish looks a lot like the fish from Finding Nemo, and if you thought that, than you are right. I figured the best cartoon fish to do a tutorial on has to be of simple shape, and the fins have to be pretty wide and easy to draw. Dory is probably my favorite character through the whole movie and I think it has a lot to do with her voice actress "Ellen DeGeneres" because she has an incredible extreme comical sense of humor. Anyway I think you will find this fishy fish a very easy sea animal to draw and I hope I see it uploaded to your artwork section soon from one of you artists out there. I have to go because now I am getting tired. I still have two more lessons that I need to submit so try and stay tuned in for those. Peace out and happy drawing.

Picturesque Courtyard Garden
Big ideas bring enchantment to a courtyard garden
- « prev
- next »
- 1 of 19
Downsizing from a family home on a large suburban lot to a garden home means less maintenance. But it can also mean less privacy. Birmingham, Alabama, residents Judy and Jim Carns didn't let narrow lot lines infringe on their planned lifestyle change. Instead, they built a home with a walled garden that offers plenty of seclusion as well as an enchanting setting that never fails to delight guests.
Photography: Jean Allsopp
Garden design: Max Garcia and David Swindal, GartenFest, LLC, 205/414-6740, gartenfestllc.com.
Interior design: Kitty Rochester, 205/902-6243.
Arched Entry
When the couple moved in, they had little more to work with than a brick patio and Birmingham's red clay soil. Enlisting garden designers Max Garcia and David Swindal, Judy asked for privacy, sanctuary, and a garden that looked as if it had always been there. "Even though our house is new, it has an old-world ambience that sets the tone for the gardens," she says.
Eye-catching Garden Walls
The designers set about adding structure to the existing 10-foot-high garden walls that surround the 3,000-square-foot area. "We didn't want the walls to look like a fortress," says Garcia, "so we varied their treatments, adding brick, fountains, planters, niches, and tall foundation plants."
At the home's entrance, a loggia opens onto the front garden. A row of 'Emerald Green' arborvitae blocks the street view. Another wall covered in creeping fig ivy overlaid with a crisscross trellis of 'Confederate Jasmine' separates the courtyard from the neighbors. A burbling fountain drowns out street noise.
Bordered by Greens
Surrounding the fountain, hedges of clipped 'Winter Gem' boxwood frame beds filled with Judy's favorite hues of purple, pink, and lime green. A spray of 'New Dawn' roses cascades from the center arch of the loggia. "The blooms are magnificent," says Swindal. "Even when they fall, they create the most exquisite pale pink carpet. You have to cherish them to the very last petal."
Narrow Garden Path
An antique iron gate accesses a 5-foot-wide alley that leads to the rear loggia and garden. Dense with ferns, hostas, and impatiens, the border of the sandstone path brims with blooms and texture. "This is my favorite part of the garden," says Judy. "It reminds me of a narrow alleyway in Charleston, South Carolina. The front garden reminds me of Tuscany—though I have never been there," she adds with a laugh. "The back garden recalls New Orleans and Savannah."
Antique Iron Gate
Keys hang from the antique iron gate that opens onto a beautifully landscaped sandstone path, leading to the rear garden.
Layering on the Charm
Much like these old cities, the garden evolved without any strict plan. "Judy would see something in a book, or we would have an idea and we would make it happen from there," Swindal says. "I'm the dreamer, and Max is the one with the skill to make things happen."
Courtyard Sitting Area
So Garcia and Swindal worked to fill the back courtyard with Southern ambience. "Because of the tight constraints of the lot and the height of the walls, interior windows looked straight out to the bare stucco walls, so we also had to create a view," notes Garcia.
Chock-full of diverse flora, including boxwood hedges framing seasonal blooms, dwarf fruit trees, and "Little Gem" magnolias, the Carns garden provides a constant flow of colors and fragrances that change with the seasons.
Furniture with Patina
Antique French chairs mix with new iron seating throughout and contribute to convivial gatherings.
Bubbling Fountain
Water splashes from a lion's head set into a brick arch into an aquatic garden brimming with lotus and lilies. The brick helps break up the expanse of the stucco walls.
Pop of Color
A fuchsia bloom contrasts shiny green leaves.
Shaded Arbor and Sitting Area
An arbor offers a shady spot along the back wall of the back courtyard. "My garden is a mix of formal and casual," explains Judy. "I love the casualness of black-eyed Susans and sunflowers combined with elegant and dazzling tropicals like orchids and mandevillas."
Garden Details
From every vantage, there is something to behold. Judy enjoys the comfort of the loggia, and the front garden's stone bench is "my little private place where I enjoy meditating and just being still and quiet." Sometimes, she steps out onto the roof of her second story just to take it all in. "You can see the whole garden from up there," she says.
Back Loggia
Extending from the home's dining room, the sheltered indoor/outdoor room offers cushy rattan seating with Sunbrella-fabric cushions.
An Array of Flora
Although the garden is only five years old, mature plantings, climbing vines, and hanging baskets combine in clever arrangements to give a timeless feeling.
Lotus Flowers
A lotus blooms in the back fountain.
Judy Carns poses with Buddy, her cavapoo.
The home's structure allows for plenty of seclusion and solitude behinds its stucco walls.

Maybe because in less than a month me and the Mr. will be going to Portugal for our summer vacation, and we can't stop thinking about it, I decided that this week I would share a couple of my home country design products and interiors.
I'm starting with the One.2, a coffee table by Lisbon based design atelier AMPLA. The One.2 is a unique and contemporary piece that shows a concern for design sustainability, as it uses natural and recyclable materials and it's production is planed to reduce waste.
I love it for it's simplicity, both in shapes and materials of choice (colourless tempered glass and a structure of plywood), it would look lovely in my Scandinavian home. But I'm also drawn by the One.2's component of fun and versatility. For someone, like me, that is constantly wanting to change and move things around the home, a table with a wooden structure that can be easily reversed in order to show a different look (no need for tools) is quite appealing.

The One.2 is being sold in Portuguese interior design shops, but you can contact the atelier AMPLA to inquire about availability and shipping costs for your own country.

A lot of men in matching bright polo shirts started a sideline brawl during their sons' Pee Wee football game in Pearland, Texas. One 12-year-old was thrown "12 to 15 feet" by an opposing coach. Video after the jump.
"He picked me up by the back of my shoulder pads," said one Hurricane, an earnest 11 year-old named Stone, "and threw me." Both teams were barred from competing in the postseason, several coaches were suspended, and two were banned for life. Someone in the stands caught the mayhem on camera. Yes, folks, when coaching your kid's pee wee football team doesn't provide adequate secondhand glory, you can always become a YouTube spectacle in your middle age.

At first glance these photos by Andre Ermolaev look like twisting abstract paintings, but in reality are aerial photos of rivers flowing through Iceland's endless beds of volcanic ash. Given its name and stereotypical depiction it's somewhat surprising to learn that the small country named after ice is home to no less than 30 active volcanic systems. You'll remember the eruption of the massive Grímsvötn volcano just last year that spewed some 120 million tons of ash in the first 48 hours and snarled air traffic for days. Of his photographs Ermolaev says:
Iceland is a wonderful country; I would even say that it is a true paradise for all the photo shooting-lovers. But what has become a real discovery for me is the bird's eye view of the rivers flowing along the black volcanic sand. It is an inexpressible combination of colors, lines, and patterns. The photo represents the mouth of the river falling into the ocean. [...] A little bit upstream there is a yellow-colored brook flowing into the river, but yellow currents fail to mix with the main water flow. One can estimate the scale judging by the car tracks that are clearly seen on the black sand. This is just a river, just a volcano, just our planet.
You can see much more of his work over on 500px. (via my modern met)

Dec. 18, 2003
By Leila Wai
The Honolulu Advertiser
HONOLULU, Hawaii - When Santa Clara forward Keith DeVey launched a shot at Michigan goalkeeper and teammate Kelechi Igwe put the rebound away, it was more than just a goal.
"It pretty much assured us that we were going to go to the final four," DeVey said.
DeVey, a redshirt freshman from Kula, Maui, was credited with an assist in the Elite Eight game of the Men's NCAA Division I Tournament. Santa Clara beat Michigan, 3-1, on Dec. 5, to advance to the College Cup, college soccer's version of the Final Four.
"That was probably the most exciting assist I ever had," he said. "I got the ball and beat a player and was on sort of a breakaway. I took a shot but the goalie blocked it straight up in the air and another teammate ran up and headed it in."
The score had been 2-1 with just under 10 minutes remaining in the game, and Igwe's goal all but put the game out of reach for Michigan.
In the College Cup, Santa Clara played Indiana in one semifinal, and lost 1-0 in double overtime. Indiana later defeated St. John's, 2-1, to capture the national championship.
"It doesn't ease the pain. That doesn't comfort me, to know that we lost to the eventual national champions," he said. "We know we could have beaten them and been the national champions."
In 20-degree weather, "definitely the coldest I've ever played in," DeVey said that the atmosphere at MLS's Columbus Crew Stadium was "really exciting."
"It was definitely the biggest game I've ever played in," he said.
DeVey, a 2002 graduate of St. Anthony, has played in 19 games with nine starts. He finished the season with three goals and an assist for seven points.
He sat out November with a left hamstring pull, and returned to action in the tournament's Round of 16 wearing a brace.
"Any time you're not on the ball, you aren't progressing," he said. "I had to get my touch back. (The time off) wasn't good for me, but I came back fast."
To get to the College Cup, Santa Clara also beat Southern Methodist (1-0, 4-1 on penalty kicks), Loyola Marymount (1-0, OT), and Coastal Carolina (3-2, OT).
SMU features sophomore Duke Hashimoto, a 2001 graduate of Iolani from Kapolei, who had an assist in the loss. Adam Sthay, a 1999 graduate of Punahou from Honolulu, and Darin Fajota, a 2002 graduate of Maryknoll from Honolulu, play for LMU.
"It didn't really matter," DeVey said about facing other players from Hawai'i. "I didn't really know any of them."
DeVey said he knew of Hashimoto, but didn't speak to him or any of the other players from Hawai'i.
He walked on at Santa Clara last year because he said the coaches didn't know a lot about him. He said it gave him time to get adjusted to the level of college soccer and learn the ropes.
This year, there is another redshirt from Hawai'i at Santa Clara, Chad Imhoff-Sils, a 2003 graduate of Kamehameha from 'Aiea.
"We talk to each other about how different it is from Hawai'i soccer," DeVey said. "It's a lot more strict and organized (at Santa Clara)."
Besides the stresses of preparing for the College Cup, Santa Clara was in finals week. DeVey said he had to reschedule his four finals to Monday and Tuesday, giving him only one or two days to study, because the Elite Eight game was the Saturday before.
"It was kind of hectic," he said. "I did whatever I could get in. I think I did good enough (on his finals)."
He did well enough on the field, starting the final two games for the Broncos. And despite the rich tradition Indiana had in the College Cup with six national championships, he was still unhappy with the loss.
"We were equal if not better," DeVey said. "We had plenty of goal-scoring opportunities. When you get that far, any team can win it."

Well folks, I managed to get about 50% of my to-do list completed. I went into this weekend with the best of intentions, but I fell short of my goals. Does this ever happen to you? I was not as productive as I had hoped to be, though I can't blame myself completely. Things just didn't fall into place as I expected.
I did make my famous pumpkin pancakes for my guests' breakfast on Sunday morning. I only ate half of one, with no maple syrup. Yes, I'm back on a diet. My friends and I are going on a cruise in February, and with the upcoming holidays, I figured it was wise to start now. Three pounds down, 17 to go!
I also managed to get about 90% of my outdoor Christmas lights up. This coming weekend is the St. Mary's, PA Light-up Night when Santa comes to town and all the lights are turned on. Yes, it's before Thanksgiving, but that's how they roll.
Speaking of which, I have a little Public Service Announcement. If someone wants to start decorating for the holidays now, the day after Halloween, or even in mid-July – let them. It's going to be all right. You'll be fine. I just find it funny that every time I post a picture of my holiday decorations a few people get themselves all worked up because "it's not even Thanksgiving yet." I am fully aware that it's not Thanksgiving, but my life and business require me to get a head start on these things. And, to be honest, Christmas is the bomb! I love looking at the lights, the colors, the sparkles – they make me happy. It takes a lot of time and work to decorate forthe holidays, so I'm going to enjoy everything as long as possible. So, I beg of you, just think for three seconds before posting a comment about someone's holiday cheer.
Other than that, I got some writing accomplished, way too much stressing and thinking done, and a little weirdness thrown in for good measure.
Off to complete some more tasks! And, according to UPS, my dining room chairs should be delivered today! Woot Woot!
What did you accomplish (or not) this weekend?

Mossberg's Mailbox
How to Find Low-Cost DSL Service
There's no other major item most of us own that is as confusing, unpredictable and unreliable as our personal computers. Everybody has questions about them, and we aim to help.
Here are a few questions about computers I've received recently from people like you, and my answers. I have edited and restated the questions a bit, for readability. This week my mailbox contained questions about finding low-cost DSL service, choosing video-editing software and transferring files from a Windows PC to a Mac.
If you have a question, send it to me at firstname.lastname@example.com, and I may select it to be answered here in Mossberg's Mailbox.
Last week, you mentioned that DSL Internet service is available in the U.S. for $15 a month. I can't find anything nearly that low. Can you elaborate?
Verizon, which is an Internet service provider operating in 28 states plus the District of Columbia and Puerto Rico, has an entry-level DSL plan for $14.95 a month. According to the Verizon Web site, this plan requires a one-year agreement, but it isn't a teaser price that lasts for only a few months. You also get the first month free and they throw in the DSL modem. For this price, you get a DSL line that operates at speeds up to 768 kilobits per second for downloads and 128 kilobits per second for uploads. That's more than 13 times the maximum download speed of a dial-up connection.
More info is at: www22.verizon.com/forhomedsl/channels/dsl/packages/.
I realize that this plan, or any Verizon plan, isn't available in the other 22 states. And, I realize that, even where it is available, it may not be possible to get it at your house because of the technical limitations of DSL, which works well only within a certain distance from a phone company office. I also know that such service, at any price, is often unavailable in rural areas.
But, for tens of millions of people, this is a very inexpensive way to get broadband. It's less than America Online charges for dial-up service.
A friend of mine is looking for some video-editing software to be used on a PC running Windows. What software would you recommend for this application?
I haven't tested this category of software in a while, but any of the leading software packages should do. They include Pinnacle Studio Plus, Adobe Premiere Elements and Roxio Easy Media Creator. The first two are video-editing programs. The last includes a video-editing program, but it is a suite that also handles things like music and photos. Of the two video-only programs, Pinnacle's is probably best for a novice user. It costs about $90.
I know the Macintosh can handle most common types of files used on Windows computers. But my question is more basic: if I switch to a Mac from Windows, how do I physically transfer my files?
If you buy your new Mac at an Apple store, Apple will do this job, or part of it, free. According to the Apple Web site, you can just bring the two computers to the store, and a "Genius" — Apple's name for a tech support person in its stores — will move all the files in any folder you choose on your Windows machine onto your new Mac. Presumably, this would include the My Documents folder, which contains most of the data files on most Windows PCs. The "Genius" will also do this for $50 for people who bought their Macs elsewhere. There is some fine print to this deal. For details, see: www.apple.com/switch/howto/genius.html.
There are also numerous ways to do this yourself, depending on the capabilities of your Windows machine. You can copy the files from the old computer onto an external hard disk, or a USB thumb drive. You can burn them onto CDs or DVDs. You can copy them to the hard disk of an iPod, if you haven't filled it up with music, and if you configure it for use as a disk drive.
Because the Mac can read Windows-formatted disk drives, you should be able to plug any of these devices into your new Mac, or insert the CDs or DVDs, and they should show up on the Mac's desktop. Then, you can simply copy the files to folders of your choice on the Mac's hard disk. You can also email files to yourself, or transfer them over a local network.

Minister of Social Development, Dr Zola Skweyiya, witnessed the delivery and was so impressed with the quality, efficiency and capacity of the organisation, that he requested we prepare a proposal for his department on how to spend R400 million in the most cost effective and efficient manner to benefit the rural poor. The delivery of food parcels was the most relevant at this period and was selected as the initial idea from the 9 point proposal given to the Minister. We were then asked to design the contents of the food parcel; this we did and it was whole heartedly accepted. Next we were asked to tender for this food parcel roll out as this is the normal manner in which government functions. We refused. We stated that we are an NGO and not a business, that our advice is free and we are not interested in tendering for any government programme. We were asked 5 times to reconsider our response; we refused.
Gift of the Givers Food Parcel Project was initiated in October 2002 after the World Summit on Sustainable Development at Nasrec, Johannesburg. It was whilst exhibiting at this event, there appeared a write up in the Sunday Times that 167 children in the Eastern Cape had died of starvation. This situation in a country like South Africa, so rich in resources, was totally unacceptable. Gift of the Givers responded to the hunger crisis in that region and delivered 2000 food parcels to hunger-stricken families.
In February 2003 we received notification that whilst food parcel delivery had gone on tender and awarded to large companies in 7 provinces, the Ministry of Social Development had approached Treasury and requested that tender rules be waived and that Gift of the Givers be appointed as preferred provider in KwaZulu Natal and Eastern Cape. The request was granted. We were given R60 million to roll out 204 000 food parcels in these two provinces. Whilst 5 companies each had to share the food parcel tender in the other provinces, we were the sole provider for the two provinces mentioned. We also set up the system and the logistics that all providers had to follow; we were the cheapest, the fastest, the most efficient and even provided services and facilities beyond what was requested in the contract, all at our own cost. We are the only NGO in the history of South Africa to be given R60 million by government.
Through the programme we created 7 permanent and 20 temporary jobs , we imparted managerial, supervisory, technical and woodwork skills, recycled waste matter, all at our warehouses and created hundreds of temporary jobs at the point of food parcel delivery. We are the largest food parcel delivery agency in South Africa. In the pictures that follow, the first photo gallery deals with this initial food parcel programme preparation; the other pictures deal with our food parcel delivery over the years.

No parallel to Hyderabad's Muharram procession in India
With about 200,000 Shias, Hyderabad is home to the second-largest Shia community in India, after Lucknow.
With about 200,000 Shias, Hyderabad is home to the second-largest Shia community in India, after Lucknow.
Hyderabad: It is that time of the year when an atmosphere of grief envelopes parts of the old city of Hyderabad, as loudspeakers from dozens of ashurkhanas blare 'marsiye' (elegies) and 'nohay' (poems expressing sorrow). Ashurkhanas are community spaces where Shia Muslims gather for mourning during Muharram. Ashurkhanas derive their name from ashura, the 10th day of Muharram, which is also the climax of the period of mourning that marks Muharram, a commemoration of the martyrdom of Hussain Ibn Ali, grandson of prophet Mohammed, in the Battle of Karbala 14 centuries ago. This year, ashura falls on Sunday.
The sermons by zakirs (Shia clerics), describing the events of Karbala, amid cries and beating of chests by mourners create a pall of gloom in Darulshifa, Noor Khan Bazar, Purani Haveli and the surrounding localities in Hyderabad. Addressing majalis (congregations of mourners) at ashurkhanas, the zakirs, with their exceptional oratory skills, give a detailed account of the events that led to the martyrdom of Imam Hussain and his family. The sermons by zakirs make one relive the events of Karbala, for it feels like those events are happening before one's eyes.
The historic ashurkhanas are abuzz with activity throughout the nights as mourners clad in black make their offerings to alams (or insignias of the martyrs) and attend the gatherings. The majalis, which began with Muharram (the first month of Islamic calendar), reach a crescendo on 10th Muharram, the day when Imam Hussain and his followers were martyred in 61 Hijri or 680 CE at Karbala in present-day Iraq. Muharram rituals are all aimed at remembering the great sacrifice of Imam Hussain and his followers, who refused to bow to despotic and tyrannical authority.
On 10th Muharram, a massive and historic 'Bibi ka alam' procession is taken out with the alam on an elephant. The procession passes through parts of the old city, with thousands of people, irrespective of religion and caste, standing along the roads to pay their respects. The Muharram of Hyderabad draws people from not just different parts of Andhra Pradesh but also other states like Karnataka, Maharashtra, Tamil Nadu and even from northern states.
With about 200,000 Shias, Hyderabad is home to the second-largest Shia community in India, after Lucknow. Shias point out that there is no parallel to Hyderabad's Muharram procession in the entire country. "If Mysore is famous for Dasara and Mumbai for Ganesh festivities, Hyderabad is known for its Muharram," said Taqi Askari Vila, a member of the Shia community. The majalis continue for two months and eight days at over 800 ashurkhanas in Hyderabad. Some of these were built by Qutub Shahi rulers.
The Badeshahi Ashurkhana, the oldest in the city, was built in 1594 by Mohammed Quli Qutub Shah, three years after the construction of Charminar, the symbol of Hyderabad. Some people believe that Quli Qutub Shah named the city after Hyder, one of the names of Hazrat Ali, son-in-law of Prophet Mohammed and father of Imam Hussain. The Bibi ka Alam, assigned to Prophet Mohammed's daughter Bibi Fatima Zehra, was raised by Hayat Bakshi Begum during the reign of her son Abdulla Qutub Shah.
According to historians, the rituals of mourning during Muharram started in the Deccan during the 14th century. It received royal patronage during the times of Qutub Shahis, who were Shias. Over the centuries, the local customs and traditions in different parts of the kingdom came to be associated with 'azadari' or mourning. It is not surprising that in several parts of the Telangana region of present Andhra Pradesh, Hindus observe Muharram in their unique and distinct style. Even in Hyderabad, some Hindu families have been serving as caretakers of the alams for decades.
Though Asaf Jahs (Nizams), rulers of erstwhile Hyderabad State, were Sunni Muslims, they continued to patronise the observance of Muharram. It was during their time that special colonies for Shias were built in Darulshifa and surrounding areas. It was during the Asaf Jahi period that several ashurkhanas were built. The ashurkhanas enjoy special status as they are believed to have relics belonging to the martyrs of Karbala. One of such ashurkhana is Alawa Sartooq named after a son of Imam Hussain. Azza Khana Zehra on the banks of the Musi river is another famous ashurkhana built by the Nizam.
Another special feature of Moharrum in the city is the presence of about 40 'matami' or mourning groups, whose members recite elegies and also resort to self-flagellation. To show solidarity with the sufferings of the Imam and his family members, the groups of devotees inflict wounds on themselves by using sharp objects like knives and blade-encrusted chains. The streets in Shia-dominated areas wear a different look, with several roadside stalls (known as sabeel) coming up to provide water to people.

Four members of the Cameron University faculty and staff have been selected as this year's recipients of Cameron's University Choice Awards. Dr. Thom Balmer, Debbie Clark, Dr. Carla Guthridge and Dr. E. Ann Nalley received their awards during a ceremony tonight on the Cameron campus. Each received a plaque recognizing his/her achievement as well as a $1,000 stipend.
"The Cameron University Choice Awards were created in 2009 to recognize members of the campus community who exemplify the vision of the university," says President Cindy Ross.
Nominations were made by CU students, faculty and staff. In order to be eligible, nominees must have been employed full-time at Cameron for at least one year.
"As with previous years, this year we received nominations for a number of deserving individuals, which is evidence of the high regard in which our faculty and staff is held," says President Ross. "Nominators were thoughtful and effective in articulating why the individual nominated was deserving of the award. Cameron is proud of its outstanding faculty and staff, and we are happy to recognize those selected to receive a University Choice Award."
The University of Choice Award
The "University of Choice" Award recognizes a current staff or faculty member who is making outstanding contributions toward making Cameron the "University of Choice" by providing students a top quality education. Dr. Carla Guthridge, Professor and Chair, Department of Biological Sciences, is the 2012-2013 recipient. One nominator wrote of Guthridge's work on several projects that, once implemented, will directly benefit Cameron students. These include the development of a new Associate in Applied Science degree in laboratory technology, which is currently undergoing the approval process and which includes a cooperative agreement with Great Plains Technology Center, and a proposal to develop another degree. Guthridge also participated in the development of the design concerts for the construction of teaching laboratories at the CU-Duncan campus, which will greatly expand Cameron's educational programming. Yet another nominator – one of Guthridge's students – noted that Guthridge played a significant role in the student's ability to transition back into college to obtain prerequisites required for application to a physician assistant graduate program. "She willingly gave me knowledgeable advice to succeed in my pathway, which led to an interview at the program of my choice," the nominator wrote. "I am thankful for Dr. Guthridge's continual faith in her student's success and her ability to recognize and develop her students' strengths that will lead to success. She is an amazing inspiration and gift to those she surrounds."
The College Experience of Choice Award
The "College Experience of Choice" Award recognizes a current staff or faculty member who is making outstanding contributions toward providing students the "College Experience of Choice" by fostering a traditional collegiate atmosphere. This year's recipient is Dr. Thom Balmer. In addition to his teaching responsibilities as an assistant professor in the Department of Psychology, Balmer is Cameron's current Faculty in Residence, a program designed to help improve student academic performance. In this role, Balmer holds at least two educational programs per semester and maintains office hours to provide career and academic advice to students. According to the nominator, Balmer also takes advantage of numerous opportunities on campus to interact with students in non-curricular settings. "He really tries to connect with the on-campus students by dining in the cafeteria with us and playing pool," the nominator wrote. "He also provides workshops for us during the academic year and asked for our input on topics and food for the next event he would be hosting. He shows an interest in the events that the Student Housing Association puts on and typically stops by to mingle with everyone."
The Location of Choice Award
The "Location of Choice" Award recognizes a current staff or faculty member who is making outstanding contributions toward making Cameron University the "Location of Choice" for community and regional events. Debbie Clark, General Services Foreman of Custodial Services, is the selected recipient. "Debbie's professionalism and consistent dedication in making certain everything is in place for events and functions is a 'behind-the-scenes' operation that is meant to be never noticed, and that is why Debbie deserves to be recognized," wrote one nominator. Another said, "She is friendly, outgoing and enjoyable to work with when she has to come in after hours to help with set up for an event. You never hear her complain. She is a team player, and she manages one of the largest departments on campus and handles the various employee personalities very well." Still another said of her, "Our campus is a cleaner, more enjoyable place to work, study and visit due to Debbie's continuous hard work and commitment to Cameron University. Debbie is instrumental in making Cameron the 'Location of Choice' for academic, regional and statewide events."
The Partner of Choice Award
The "Partner of Choice" Award recognizes a current staff or faculty member who is making outstanding contributions toward making Cameron University the "Partner of Choice" by expanding existing and developing new community and area partnerships that contribute to the growth and prosperity of Southwest Oklahoma. The recipient is Dr. E. Ann Nalley, Professor of Chemistry and Clarence E. Page Endowed Chair in Math and Science Education. The nominator enumerated several examples of Nalley's efforts to create partnerships, writing, "Dr. Nalley has maintained her contacts with Cameron alumni and is continually creating opportunities to engage them," a reference to the symposium she created that brings alumni back to campus to address current students. The nominator also cited Nalley's participation in grant writing workshops sponsored by the Oklahoma State Regents for Higher Education (OSRHE), which includes her mentorship to junior faculty at other Oklahoma universities, as well as her service on the Regents Research Advisory Board and the summer science academies and workshops for teachers she has coordinated through OSRHE. Also receiving mention was Nalley's work to secure internships for Cameron students. "For more than 30 years, Dr. Nalley has worked as a consultant for local industries in the community. She arranges for her students to work as interns, formalizing the process through a grant from the Oklahoma Center for the Advancement of Science and Technology (OCAST)."

Good Hunters Are Good Scouts
To locate a particular type of animal, do a little research to find out what sort of habitat that animal likes. Then find detailed maps of areas where you think that type of habitat exists. Keep in mind the things all wildlife need—food, water, shelter, and space in a particular arrangement. Circle likely spots on your map, and then go out and see what you can find.
Learn to look for natural signs that animals leave. Learn what a particular animal's track looks like. Animal droppings can tell you a lot about what kind of animals are around, what they are eating and when they are using a particular area. The skills you acquire in looking for wildlife come in handy during hunting season.
When you're trying to identify wildlife that's far away, it can be helpful to use binoculars or a spotting scope. Never use your riflescope to identify an animal. Remember, when you are pointing your scope at an animal, you are also pointing your rifle at that animal. What if the "animal" turns out to be another hunter? Use your riflescope only to aim and shoot.
To be absolutely certain of the identity of your target, always look for more than one identifying characteristic before taking the shot.

Architecture and the Senses; A Sensory Musing Park
Project (Thesis)
Sarah Stein, MARCH
Thesis committee chair: Garth Rockcastle FAIA, Professor
Thesis committee member: Ronit Eisenbach, Associate Professor
Thesis committee member: Madlen Simon AIA
Full text available at: http://drum.lib.umd.edu/handle/1903/14615
This thesis studies the relationship of architecture and the senses. The first part of the document explores sensory characteristics and how they work. It defines their importance in allowing humans to navigate complex environments. The second part of the thesis looks directly at environmental stimuli. It seeks to qualify and associate physical variables with particular sensory responses. The goal of the research is to create a set of standards by which architecture can design "for the senses". The design project will put to test the principles organized from research through a series of architectural installations that harness both natural and man-made stimuli. The methodology with which stimuli are engaged will highlight time, place, and the awareness of being. Each installation is part of a greater constellation that can be sequenced in a variety of ways, experienced uniquely each time, and even added to by visitors and artists.

The Adopt-A-Park Program was established in 1989 by the Winston-Salem Recreation and Parks Department. It is now coordinated by Keep Winston-Salem Beautiful. The program provides the community a chance to become involved in the beautification and enhancement of our parks. The publicly-owned parks could use your personal concern and attention - you can help by participating in the Adopt-A-Park program. Individuals, groups, neighborhood associations, religious institutions, schools, and businesses may have a chance to contribute to the enhancement of their community parks and to provide a much-desired service to our city. The Recreation and Parks Department provides normal maintenance of the parks. But the adopter of the park would provide extra care and attention, which makes a park more beautiful.
Special projects may be undertaken in your park with the approval of the program coordinator and the Recreation and Parks Director. The proposal for a project needs to be in a written format and submitted to the coordinator. The coordinator will discuss the project with the Director. You will be given a response and any special guidelines for your particular project.
Recognition will be given by the placement of a sign in a prominent location with your group's name on it in your adopted park. The sign will remain in the park until your adoption term has ended.
