Information about John F Kennedy University out-of-state students, and registering for discussion sections and departmental seminars. As a student, your first stop should be the registrar's office, where you can pick up a free copy of both the academic calendar and course catalog, in order to find available credit classes that you may be interested in taking. Then get a copy of the schedule of classes, so you can plan a workable weekly schedule for yourself. Finally, check with your major department for assistance with prerequisites, tuition payment deadlines, and John F Kennedy University student life information. Please use the form above to request admissions info for John F Kennedy University.
College freshman taking a full courseload go on to complete their degrees at a much higher rate than those students who study part-time. When choosing a major, plan ahead and be sure that you are picking courses that will meet transfer requirements of other colleges and universities later on. Further, by choosing your major early, you may be able to take some required core classes in a community college, saving both time and tuition fees.
Look at all the schools in your state first, as in-state tuition may be lower for state residents. The course catalog will outline which classes are required for a particular major, and what minimum GPA you'll need to maintain your class standing. Please contact the academic advising staff at the school you are interested in applying to about their specific guidelines. Beyond consideration for John F Kennedy University out-of-state students, you may think about Niagara County Community College auditing classes for complementary electives to your primary course of study.

IBM ThinkVision L190
IBM ThinkVision L190
The IBM ThinkVision L190 is as simple as an LCD monitor gets. This analog-only model takes a just-the-facts-ma'am approach, eschewing advanced extras in favor of simplicity and a low price. As its boxy, businesslike shape suggests, the L190 performs better at office tasks like displaying text than at presenting complex graphics. On our multisize fonts test, the L190 made regular and reverse text of several sizes look sharp and readable. Our testers voiced no major complaints about graphics, although some noted that the default settings were a little too cold to make our fruit tart test photo look appetizing. All in all, the L190 received a rating of Very Good for text and Good for graphics.
Usability is the L190's strong suit. The manual includes black-and-white diagrams suitable for printing, and it defines the three color presets in real words (6500 degrees Kelvin as "pink white," for instance). Even without a manual, navigating the basic, well-organized screen adjustment menus with IBM's usual wavy buttons takes little effort. Though I'd have liked the stand better if it had offered height or swivel adjustments in addition to tilt, it certainly does feel sturdy.
If you're replacing a CRT or a smaller LCD, the L190 will suffice for general office use. If price is paramount, you may want to compare the L190 to Samsung's SyncMaster 915n, a similar monitor that cost $40 less at time of testing.
The IBM ThinkVision L190 delivers crisp text in an easy-to-use, no-frills package.
IBM ThinkVision L190
19-inch screen, 1280-by-1024 native resolution, 13.4 pounds, one analog input; tilt adjustment; TCO'03-compliant. Three-year warranty (including backlight); 24-hour daily tech support.

No-frills, no-fuss model is inexpensive and easy to use. It's a sure hand at text, but less spectacular at graphics.

Why Porto?
It could have been anywhere. Well, anywhere within a couple of hours from London, with convenient flight times that didn't interfere with school drop-off. With good dining options. Not to mention a bit of culture. Oh, and somewhere warm would be nice (in November). This, was the brief I got from from my best friend – some explicit, some less so, but I know her well. I chose Porto for our weekend destination, mainly based on photos of pretty blue tiles (azulejos) that kept coming up on Pinterest. Read more

There are a few moments where you wonder if humanity needs a good kick up the bum to get itself a sense of perspective. Either that or we are just getting old.
The latest craze down under, and we kid you not, is to pretend you are a plank in a public place, and photograph yourself being wooden.
Now there is nothing new in this. British PM David Cameron was the first plank to be elected to the House of Commons and some of the most lucrative Hollywood performances have come from planks.
But planks are not really known for their comedic effect. They are, basically, too plank-like. So idiots in Oz pretending to be planks are about as funny as a Tory politician cracking a funny about asylum seekers or an Apple fanboy making a Windows blue screen of death crack.
According to the Brisbane Times, planking is developing into an internet craze with the Planking Australia Facebook group having almost 10,000 "likes". The group now has more than 160 fans and plans to get the term into Wikipedia.
In Europe and Japan, planking is known as 'the lying down game' and is hardly a blip on the social radar. It took off in Oz after it was recently featured on The Footy Show.
Already right plankers have caused problems for the local plod. People have been climbing on high objects like bridges to be planks. What we don't understand is why the local cops don't help them exit the gene pool by looking the other way.
"It's all about the photo and being creative and getting a laugh. While you're doing it you're just giggling and thinking, 'I look like an idiot',' one planker is quoted as saying.

Intel's new Bay Trail-T SoC appears to be ready for launch.
According to VR-Zone, the new SoC will official launch on 11 September, giving manufacturers plenty of time to come up with cheap x86 tablets in time for the holiday season.
It appears that Intel will introduce a total of four SKUs in the first batch. The Z3740 and Z3770 feature two memory channels, four CPU cores and 2MB of L2 cache. The Z3740D and Z3770D will be cheaper versions, with a single memory channel. The core count and cache size are the same across the range.
The Z3740 and Z3740D should end up clocked at 1.8GHz, while 3770-series parts will run at 2.4GHz. That sounds rather high for an x86 quad-core with a mobile thermal envelope.
The dual channel parts should offer 17.1GB/s memory bandwidth, while D-series parts with a single memory controller top out at 10.6GB/s. Non-D parts also support DDR3L-RS 1333 memory and up to 4GB of memory, while D-parts support DDR3-1066 and up to 2GB of memory.
The GPUs are different, too. D-parts support resolutions up to 1920×1200, while their non-D siblings can handle displays up to 2560×1600.
Since Intel doesn't like to talk TDPs anymore, it is merely stating that the Scenario Design Power (SDP) of the chips is between 2W and 2.4W.

Newsday: Sequestration's effects: WIC program may cut free food to low-income children
Four-year-old children in low-income families who receive free milk, fruit and vegetables through a U.S. government nutrition program might be turned away within weeks if federal spending cuts take effect March 1.
Administrators with the Women, Infants and Children program say they would have to trim their caseloads by 600,000 applicants or participants across the country because of the spending cuts. Four- and five-year-olds would probably be affected before infants and toddlers, said Douglas Greenaway, president of the National WIC Association, a Washington nonprofit group.
Programs serving low-income women and children will be squeezed if President Barack Obama and Congress don't reach agreement soon to avert the automatic spending cuts. Early- childhood education, home heating assistance, housing vouchers, domestic violence prevention, nutrition and child-care programs would all be affected.
"It's been hard to break through on this, even the press didn't believe it was going to happen," said California Representative Barbara Lee, a Democrat who voted against the 2011 Budget Control Act that established the cuts. "It's really very tragic, and in many ways this is very un-American."
If Congress doesn't act, federal spending will be reduced by $85 billion in the final seven months of this fiscal year and by $1.2 trillion over the next nine years. Half of the cuts would come from defense and half from domestic spending. The reductions were designed to be so unpalatable and arbitrary that lawmakers would come up with a way to replace them.
While scheduled cuts to defense and such programs as air-traffic control and food inspection have been well documented, the reductions in social programs mainly benefiting women and children are receiving less attention though they will be far- reaching.
Much of the effect of the cuts, known as sequestration, won't be seen right away and federal officials can only make estimates. It's possible that Congress and Obama will reach a deal to turn off or replace the cuts.
The human toll of sequestration on women and children may be most vivid. Most entitlement programs for the elderly, mainly Social Security and Medicare, are protected because they are considered mandatory. Spending programs affecting women and children are at risk because they are classified as discretionary and are funded annually.
"Kids didn't crash the economy, their mothers didn't crash the economy," said Michael Petit, president of the Every Child Matters Education Fund in Washington, who called the cuts to children's programs unfair. The government has a "long tradition of providing aid to the most vulnerable among us.
"While Democrats and Republicans say they oppose the March 1 spending reduction plan, last year House Republicans voted to replace some of the automatic reductions with cuts to additional programs benefiting women and children that currently are exempt. Included were Medicaid, about 70 percent of whose beneficiaries are women, the Children's Health Insurance Program and food stamps, two-thirds of which go to women.
"House Republicans have twice passed plans to replace the sequester with common-sense cuts and reforms that protect national security," House Speaker John Boehner, an Ohio Republican, said in a Feb. 20 Wall Street Journal opinion piece.
Budget Committee Chairman Paul Ryan of Wisconsin and other Republican leaders have maintained that the longer the U.S. delays curtailing social safety-net programs to address the budget deficit, the more painful future cuts will be.
More than one in five children in the U.S. were below the poverty line in 2011, according to the Coalition on Human Needs in Washington. Ninety percent of single-parent families are headed by women, and these mothers have the highest poverty rates among all demographic groups, according to an Ohio State University study.
For 2013, the cuts would include $2.1 billion to education programs, $354 million to nutrition, $124 million to child welfare and $596 million to early childhood programs, according to First Focus, a Washington advocacy group for children and families.
That means an estimated 70,000 fewer children would be enrolled in the Head Start program that provides preschool and nutrition programs; 144,000 fewer children would be vaccinated; and 1.2 million fewer students would be served by Title I, the largest federal education program for disadvantaged youth.
The Child Care and Development Block Grant, the main source of federal child-care subsidies for low-income working families, will assist 55,000 fewer children nationwide if the cuts occur, according to an estimate by First Focus.
Women's health programs also would be hurt. In California, 1,455 fewer women will be screened for cancer through breast examinations, mammograms and pap tests, according to a fact sheet from Sen. Barbara Boxer, a Democrat.
The Violence Against Women Act would lose more than $20 million, preventing 35,927 victims of domestic violence in the U.S. from receiving assistance, according to the Justice Department. The Planned Parenthood Federation of America, which provides family-planning services to women, says Title 10 funding for such programs may be cut by $16 million.
The WIC nutrition program serves 9 million women and children monthly, including 2 million infants. Participants have to be in families with income of no more than 185 percent of the poverty level. The program's administrators say choosing who doesn't get the services will be difficult.
"We're essentially triaging," said Greenaway with the National WIC Association. "It will likely be older, healthier children still at nutrition risk but less nutrition risk" who will be turned away, he said. Most WIC administrators budget two months in advance, he said.
Those advocating for children, especially those from low- income families, lack the political clout of other groups.
AARP, the largest U.S. group representing senior citizens, spent $9.9 million on lobbying in 2012, and the defense industry spent $129.3 million that year, according to the Center for Responsive Politics, a Washington-based research group. The Children's Defense Fund, one of the largest child advocacy groups, spent $8,182 on lobbying last year.
"Because they're more vulnerable populations it's easier for politicians to push them around," Petit said.
Spending on programs affecting children has represented about 10 percent of total federal outlays in recent years, compared with 41 percent spent on the elderly and disabled through Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid, according to a report by the Urban Institute in Washington.
In 2011, federal spending on children's programs fell for the first time since the early 1980s, dropping by $2 billion in 2010 to $376 billion, as total federal spending rose. Many states also have reduced spending on community programs that assist children and their mothers.
Education programs would be affected by federal spending cuts, often in addition to state and local funding reductions. Education Secretary Arne Duncan said yesterday at a Bloomberg Government breakfast that schools on military bases and on Native American reservations will see the most immediate effects because they rely on federal aid.
In the independent school district in Killeen, Texas, which includes the Fort Hood military base, $2.6 million in federal aid could dry up, according to the Department of Education. That would follow a $17.5 million reduction in biannual state funding.
"It filters through everything, in our teacher-pupil ratios, less technology in the hands of students, less professional development," said Robert Muller, the district superintendent.Duncan said there's no way to avoid affecting students if the automatic cuts occur."
In schools, 80 to 85 percent of costs are people," Duncan said. "I have no ability to miti
gate this and say it will be OK."

'True Bobcat'
Jan. 3, 2011 at 5:01 p.m.
Updated Jan. 2, 2011 at 7:03 p.m.
REFUGIO - Manuel Obaya V is only 16 days old, but he already knows how to make an entrance.
The son of 27-year-olds Hope Zuniga and Manuel Obaya IV, of Refugio, was born Dec. 19 at Refugio County Memorial Hospital - the first baby delivered there in 10 years.
The county hospital stopped delivering babies in July 1973 because most expectant mothers were going to obstetricians in Beeville and Victoria at the time, said Lydia Schlabach, hospital administrative assistant.
But every so often, an expectant mother, like Zuniga, waddles into the county hospital's emergency room.
"They did a good job," said Zuniga, cradling Manuel in her arms.
The moments leading up to Manuel's birth were nothing short of panic-stricken.
Zuniga had awakened at 3 a.m. with contractions. The pains weren't too strong and they were erratic, so her husband, who works with tile design in Rockport, decided to go to work.
By the time he had gotten home at noon, contractions were steadily about five minutes apart, so they went to Christus Spohn Memorial Hospital in Beeville.
The hospital required the contractions to be five minutes apart for an hour for it to be considered full labor and Zuniga was only five minutes apart for 45 minutes.
Zuniga and Obaya were sent back to Refugio, being told that it was a false alarm.
Returning home that Dec. 19 evening, Obaya went to H-E-B to get some groceries while Zuniga rested at home.
When her husband got home an hour later, he didn't find Zuniga resting, but instead in full labor, with contractions two minutes apart.
"I just made them forget everything they knew," Zuniga said about what happened in room 3 just minutes before her son's birth at 8:47 p.m. "They panicked. I panicked."
Dr. Nathan Wright helped deliver Manuel.
Wright would have preferred to have a pediatrician on site to deliver the baby, but the delivery went well.
"It was unexpected. But she came in, and she needed to have him," Wright said.
After the delivery, Zuniga and Manuel were taken to Beeville for observation.
Both Zuniga and Manuel were home for Christmas.
The couple's other two children Faithlynn, 4 and Amberlynn, 3, don't yet understand the uniqueness of their baby brother's birth, but they have already welcomed him with open arms.
"I wanted a brother," said Amberlynn as she passed her little brother his pacifier.
Both daughters help Zuniga, now a stay at home mom, with the little things.
Though giving birth in Refugio wasn't planned, knowing her son is one of the few who can say they were born in town in recent history is amazing, Zuniga said.
"He's a true Bobcat," she said as she adjusted his red cotton hat.

In late August, Bellevue sophomore AJ Rossman traveled to Montenegro and Serbia to represent the United States Cadet National Team in the Darko Cucic Memorial Invitational. Rossman was one of just 13 athletes from across the country — and the only athlete from outside of California — chosen to represent Team USA in the prestigious tournament. Rossman earned his selection after a nine month tryout process that began at a local ODP Camp in November 2014.
Rossman started every game and helped guide the United States to seventh place against the best youth teams in the world. Joining Rossman on the squad were 13 of the best rising freshman and sophomores in the country.
Rossman's selection marked the second straight year in which a Bellevue Wolverine earned a starting spot on a US National Team travel squad. Last summer, recent graduate and Stanford-bound Marco Stanchi was the starting center for the US Youth National Team and participated in the FINA Youth World Championships in Istanbul, Turkey.
We recently asked AJ to recount his once-in-a-lifetime experience representing his country in Europe:
Nine….That's the number of days I spent in Seattle during the summer between my freshman and sophomore year at Bellevue High School.
I spent so few nights at home because I was training and competing in Long Beach, CA and Europe as a member of the Cadet National Team for USA Water Polo.
Several weeks were spent in Long Beach preparing for the Darko Cucic tournament in Serbia. I was one of 13 boys from the Jr. National Team selected to travel to Serbia, and the only one selected from outside of California.
Our coach, Gavin Arroyo, is the current Long Beach State Coach. Gavin is a two time Olympic water polo player and played on the U.S. National Team for eight years. He shared a lot of new drills and taught us interesting techniques and strategies, using funny stories and analogies to get his point across. Everyone on the team thought he was an outstanding coach and mentor. He's the only coach I know who can make similarities between passing and fishing.
We left for Europe on August 3rd, and spent one week training in Montenegro, a former Yugoslavian country on the Adriatic coast. It's a 9 hour time difference from Seattle, but the coaches had us in the pool within 30 minutes of arriving, so it didn't take us long to adjust. Our hotel was in the town of Herceg Novi and included an indoor pool where we could easily roll out of bed and practice twice a day. We practiced and scrimmaged with the Montenegro Cadet National team throughout the week to prepare for the tournament.
Between practices, we did get to explore Montenegro. There was a market near our hotel where we all bought inexpensive t-shirts and shorts. I was able to get a soccer jersey for 10 Euro (about $10), much cheaper than in the U.S. The beaches were beautiful. One of the three coaches with us on the trip was from Serbia so one day he arranged a boat trip for us to explore the coastline filled with caves and rocky beaches. And, one night we went out for dinner and ate fish that had literally just been pulled from the sea.
At the end of the first week, we took a bus up to Dubrovnik in Croatia to train in the sea. The beach already had a rectangular set of buoys to outline the space where we would play, and we just had to drop in goals at each end. It was difficult to train in the sea because the water is so salty, but the cove where we played was beautiful and the water was really clear.
While we worked hard in the water, our week in Montenegro was awesome. Everyone had packed a suitcase full of food as we were told prior to the trip that the food wasn't very good. We were surprised to eat a lot of great meals at the hotel during this first week – beef stew with vegetables, pepperoni and salami, cheeses, and lots of great pastries.
Once we wrapped up training that first week, it was off to Serbia. The tournament was played in a town 2 hours south of Belgrade called Kragejuvac.
We stayed in a dorm-like building that housed all the athletes. Our rooms were across the hall from the Serbian team and a lot of late nights were spent talking to them. We also shared our food with them as they weren't allowed to leave the dorm. Our coaches let us leave the building as needed, primarily to buy food as the food served in the cafeteria was largely inedible.
There were 14 experienced teams competing in the tournament, including the best of Eastern Europe such as Serbia, Croatia, and Hungary. Unlucky for us, our first three games were against these teams. Serbia beat us soundly in the first game. The games between Croatia and Hungary were tight, but we ended up losing by three goals in each game. We finally tied Slovakia. And, then we defeated Australia and France handedly. While France was the least talented team, they liked to fight the most. I received several punches to the face and many other guys on my team got in fights with the French players.
Our final game was against Germany, and we beat them 10-7 to finish in 7th place.
At the end of the tournament it was time for trading. This is when all the teams trade their t-shirts, jackets, backpacks or other gear for that of another country. One of my teammates knew one of the Italians so he negotiated a trade for me. The Italian gear was the most desired, so I had to trade my USA jacket just to get a t-shirt. The Hungarian team also had some really cool gear that they were willing to trade. One of the players was offering a brand new plush robe and I was able to give him 60 Euro for it.
During our trip home after so many hours of training and competition, my parents asked me what I missed the most about being away.
That was easy to answer. "My bed."
My experience with the Cadet National Team process this year was incredible. Despite the countless hours of training and hard work, the rewards were great. Playing on the National Team gave me the opportunity to see a part of the world I might never see again while getting to compete against some of the best teams in the world. I also made great friendships and have new memories I will never forget.

Page # 155 paragraph 1 and pg 157
What a bunch of SHOW- OFFS! I mean,what real classically trained ballerina would end her dance by doing splits and cheesing(which BTW,means smiling)like she just got her braces off or something.Iwas like,"Hey girlfriends ! This AIN'T Dancing with the stars!" But I just said it in my head,so no one else heard it but me.Any way, when our music came on, Chloe must have completely forgotten we were supposed to be doing a ballet routine because she started doing some funky dance moves like she was one of those half -rotted zombie from the Thriller music video.The next thing I knew ,Zoey was acting like a zombie too,so I didn't have a choice but to follow along .Plus ,I figured our teacher would probably knock off a few points off our grade if Chloe and Zoey were staggering around like the undead and I was doing ballet plies in first and third position.

Now you have seen how Makenzie looks like .Here is something that symbolically represents her.Makenzie is like the fashinista at school who always disses everyone.She constantly applies ten layers of lip gloss before doing almost anything.Whenever I read the word, "lip gloss" in the book I instantly know something that has to do with Mackenzie. Mackenzie even used her favorite lip gloss and wrote, "bug girl" on Nikki's locker.You could tell it was her lipgloss because she used that perticular lipgloss in fround of everyone .
4.What's the book title and authors name again??
A passage that has vivid setting is when Nikki describes how someone from her class looks like.When I read the paragraph the character that was described reminded me of a Barbie doll.The character contrubutes to the scene because Mackenzie gave Nikki an invitation to give to Jessica to her party. Jessica was the Barbie doll I was talking about earlier.But ,Nikki thought that the invitation was actually for her.So Nikki gets all excited for the invitation that wasn't for her and Jessica notices that Nikki took her invitation and is steaming mad.Nikki turns around to see that Jessica was part of Mackenzie's group .The Barbie doll group. Nikki sees that the invitation couldnt have been for her but for another person in the CCP .
8. Out of all the characters in the story I am most like ......
I am just like Nikki Maxwell
How am I like her??
Well, I just moved to a new school and trying to fit in. I also have a annoying little sibling that is always bothering me and a older one too . I have a few main best friends that always help me when I'm in panic mode.We always stick with each other and never get into many fights.Just like best friends should.
9. Connect to the world .
10.Theme Time
I think the theme of the story is when ever you are feeling sad ,your friends can always brighten up your mood.In the story Nikki was tripped by someone and Chloe and Zoey were the only people in the whole school who made Nikki feel better after her fall.Chloe and Zoey helped Nikki clean some of the food that was on her and made Nikki feel less sad.Here are some quotes from the story." WHAT'S UP, GIRLFRIEND!! For some reason, seeing them made me start crying all over again.Soon, three of us were just chilling out in the janitor's closet talking about the drama with Jessica and Mackenzie.'' (pg 116 Nikki is talking) " Pretty soon the lunch period was almost over.Chloe and Zoey helped me scrub most of the food stains off my clothes with paper towels and hand soap from the sink .''(pg 118 Nikki is talking)
This is the paragraph where I found a vivid setting .
She had long blond hair and was wearing a pink, glittery lip gloss, a pink sweater ,a pink miniskirt, and a headband trimmed with fake pink diamonds. If a had spotted her in Toys "R'' Us, I swear i would have probably mistaken her for a new fashion doll.(pg 75)
Mackenzie's group
Nikki's Group
This is how Jessica looks like
This is the actual picture of the book.But it is supposed to represent Nikki's diary.The diary is important in they story and is the key symbol because it has the whole story wriiten it.It also is about her diary,what's in her diary, and evrything else that is related to her diary.The whole story is based and written about Nikki's thoughts and life.The whole story is written like someones own diary from middle school.
A key symbol ....hmmmm...
In the story Nikki is new a new student at a new school .She is trying to fit in and not be a dork .She misses her old school and wants to move back.Many people from around the world move all the time and miss their old homes and schools. Moving to a new place happens everywhere and at anytime .This happens in society all the time.Also fitting in a new school school is very hard. I think everyone faces with moving to a new place , a new city, country ... or even continet . This happens all the time.
This picture is to represent that moving is possible all around the world.
I hope you enjoyed my presentation about my book of the month. I hope you get to read the book someday.
This picture is about a cartoon character that talks way too musch.And her talking is like an incessant.
An important value in the story is
An important value in the story is friendship .Throughout this book friendship is hinted.When Zoey and Chloe were having a fundraiser for books, Nikki had to draw a tattoo on people to get books.Nikki kept on doing a lot of work and didn't say anything after a while.Just to keep her friendship between her friends fine.But, later then quit.Than her friends apologized to her and they became friends again.
Another one of my masterpieces
Another time was when Nikki's painting for the art competition was accidentally destroyed. Nikki's friends secretly took pictures of other art pieces she made .Here is a quote from the story.''Well, after we heard about the accident with your painting, we rounded up with the kids with your best tattoo artwork, and Brandon took pictures of them during lunch.Then he printed out the photographs on the computer in the newspaper office.Mrs. Peach let the three of us work on your entry the entire afternoon in the library.We call it The Student Body.''(page 273 Zoey is talking)Later at the end of the book Nikki learned to accept her friends with their craze of books .She decides it wouldn't be so bad to go to National Library Week in NYC.Here is the last quote that shows friendship in the book.''But the strangest thing was that I was actually starting to look forward to attending National Library Week at the NYC public library .And we had a good chance of being selected.I mean ,just think about it! Chloe ,Zoey and me in Manhattan for five days without our 'rents! How EXCITING would THAT be ?! In the whole story friendship is shown to be an important thing .

2015 Year-End Giving
Each year we share a story about the impact Neighborcare Health has had on our neighbors. This year we are sharing Ted's story. In 2015 Neighborcare Health served more than 60,000 patients, including many who were homeless or recently homeless like Ted. With your help, we are able to create caring healthcare homes for those who need it most.
Dear Friends,
I met Ted at Neighborcare Health's Ballard Homeless Clinic; he was one of our first patients. He was skeptical at first, but came in to see what we were all about.
"I've been to a lot of hospitals and clinics, and none of them have the same attitude, or the concern. The feeling that I get when I walk into Neighborcare is just – it's nice. All of the staff at Neighborcare have a genuine concern for everybody's welfare. It's a good feeling.
They've helped me with all my ailments. They helped with my medications, with my blood pressure, COPD. I wouldn't have even known about any of these things had I not gone to the clinic. I never even checked my blood pressure. Now it's all under control and I feel a lot better. I live in the same building as the clinic, now, so I never miss an appointment."
The annual One Night Count identified a 21% increase in the number of homeless people on the streets and in shelters. Neighborcare Health currently has six programs focused on caring for the homeless, and supporting their transition into stable housing, which includes Ted.
Our ability to develop and sustain these, and all of our programs, largely depends on the generosity of individual donors. Will you consider making a gift of $125 to Neighborcare Health today to support our work to create caring healthcare homes for our neighbors?
"The clinic and everyone over there, literally took me off the street and saved my life – they really did. I'd still be sleeping in a bush if it weren't for them. I wish there were more people like Jodee. I wish there were more people like you."
Thank you for considering a contribution today.
Neighborcare Health Medical Assistant Neighborcare Health Patient
P.S. The average life expectancy for people who are homeless is between 42 and 52 years, compared to 78 years in the general population. You can help people like Ted beat the odds to become housed and healthy with your donation today at https://donate.neighborcare.org/.

Libya, Syria (and Beyond) LiveBlog: Closing In on Qaddafi's Hometown
See also Syria Document: New Leader of the Opposition Ghalioun "We Must Act Swiftly and Decisively"
Full Text of Leaked UN Document on Post-Gaddafi Libya
2018 GMT: Al Arabiya, Sky News, and our earlier report seem to be all leaning on a single source that Khamis Qaddafi has been killed. Andy Carvin asks, and we echo, where is the body? Why the rush to bury him? Are there pictures? Video? DNA samples?
The outside world has been burned by these sorts of reports before. During the fall of Tripoli, there were multiple reports, from sources inside the NTC, that many of Qaddafi's sons were detained. Those reports turned out to be false, and the only reliable report, that Mohammed Qaddafi was captured, was undone by his escape.
So far, we remain skeptical.
1911 GMT: Al Jazeera provides us this update, details on the claimed killing of Qaddafi's son and military commander, Khamis Qaddafi:
Khamis Gaddafi, Muammar Gaddafi's son, was killed in a battle between Tarhoni and Bin Walid on Sunday, according to a rebel commander in Tripoli who spoke to Al Arabiya.
Senior rebel officer, Colonel Al-Mahdi Al-Haragi, in charge of the Tripoli Brigade of the rebel army, told the Reuters news agency he had confirmation that Khamis was badly wounded in the clash near Ben Walid and Tarhoni.
He was taken to a hospital but died of his wounds and was buried in the area, Al-Haragi told Reuters, without giving the timing.
No independent confirmation of the death was available.
1900 GMT: A very safe, very dry James Miller finally has internet access, and so is able to update the readers on two major developments in Libya...
The first development is that Algerian Foreign Minister is claiming that Muammar Qaddafi's wife, daughter, two of his sons, and their children have crossed over the border into Algeria:
The Egyptian news agency MENA, quoting unidentified rebel fighters, had reported from Tripoli over the weekend that six armored Mercedes sedans, possibly carrying Gadhafi's sons or other top regime figures, had crossed the border at the southwestern Libyan town of Ghadamis into Algeria. Algeria's Foreign Ministry had denied that report.
Ahmed Jibril, an aide to rebel National Transitional Council head Mustafa Abdul-Jalil, said if the report of Ghadafi relatives in Algeria is true, "we will demand that Algerian authorities hand them over to Libya to be tried before Libyan courts."
The second juicy piece of news is that an opposition fighter commander in Tripoli has told Sky News that Muammar Qaddafi's son, Khamis, has been killed. That is a developing story.
1859 GMT: A beach-side residence in Tripoli, owned by the Gadhafi family, is being used by the opposition fighters who fought in the Zawiya campaign.
1845 GMT: Khamis Gaddafi, Muammer Gaddafi's son, is claimed to be killed by the opposition forces.
Sky's chief correspondent Stuart Ramsay, who is at the scene, said a man claiming to be Khamis' bodyguard confirmed that he had died in the vehicle.
1840 GMT: A video footage showing Syrians marching in Deraa today.
1835 GMT: In the clashes that took place between the Yemeni government and al-Qaeda militants, near the city of Dufas in the southern province of Abyan, 10 soldiers and 26 militants were killed, according to military sources. Another 38 militants and about 30 soldiers were wounded in the clashes.
1820 GMT: According to an Algerian official who spoke to the AFP, Gaddafi's second wife Safia, his sons Muhmmad and Hannibal, and his daughter Ayesha are in Algeria now.
1800 GMT: According to the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, the death toll in the Sarmin district of northwestern Idlib province increased to five, including a child. The number of wounded increased to 60. Considered with one person killed in the town of Qara outside Damascus, the total number of dead people is six!
1745 GMT: Having found out around 150 dead bodies in a warehouse used by the Khamis Brigade, the International Criminal Court (ICC) prosecutor Luis Moreno-Ocampo said he may also apply for an arrest warrant for Gaddafi's son Khamis.
As known, the ICC has already approved warrants for the arrest of Gaddafi, his son Saif al-Islam, and Libyan intelligence chief Abdullah al-Senussi on charges of crimes against humanity.
1700 GMT: Egyptian border guards seized a "large quantity" of weapons at the border with Libya.
1630 GMT: While the opposition forces are attacking to the coastal city of Sirte from both rebel-held Ras Lanuf and Bin Jawad in the east, and from Tripoli and Misrata to the west, Al Jazeera's Hoda Abdel Hamid reports from Nawfaliya:
We have been standing here at Nawfaliya junction for the past few hours.. from what we understand, now Nawfaliya is totally under control of the Libyan fighters. They say the Gaddafi fighters are not there anymore..
The fighters are gathering here, this is the main road that leads to Sirte, about 130km from here. They are trying to stay a bit back because we have heard a lot of NATO activity over the last few hours. We have heard some jets as well as some strikes. NATO has been intensifying its heat in and around Sirte over the last 48 hours..
1525 GMT: Is ice being broken between the Libyan opposition and the Algerian government? Algerian Foreign Minister Mourad Medelci held talks with Mahmoud Jibril, the head of the NTC's rebel executive committee, on the sidelines of an Arab League meeting in Cairo, according to Algeria's stateAPS agency.
1500 GMT: Al Jazeera's Zeina Khodr reports from Yarmouk base used by the Khamis brigade.
1425 GMT: The Local Coordinating Committees published its statement on the issue of "taking up arms or international military intervention" and decided that it is "unacceptable politically, nationally, and ethically." The statement reads:
In an unprecedented move over the past several days, Syrians in Syria and abroad have been calling for Syrians to take up arms, or for international military intervention. This call comes five and a half months of the Syrian regime's systematic abuse of the Syrian people, whereby tens of thousands of peaceful protesters have been detained and tortured, and more than 2,500 killed. The regime has given every indication that it will continue its brutal approach, while the majority of Syrians feel they are unprotected in their own homeland in the face of the regime's crimes.
While we understand the motivation to take up arms or call for military intervention, we specifically reject this position as we find it unacceptable politically, nationally, and ethically. Militarizing the revolution would minimize popular support and participation in the revolution. Moreover, militarization would undermine the gravity of the humanitarian catastrophe involved in a confrontation with the regime.
Militarization would put the Revolution in an arena where the regime has a distinct advantage, and would erode the moral superiority that has characterized the Revolution since its beginning.
Our Palestinian brothers are experienced in leading by example. They gained the support of the entire Palestinian community, as well as world sympathy, during the first Intifada ("stones"). The second Intifada, which was militarized, lost public sympathy and participation. It is important to note that the Syrian regime and Israeli enemy used identical measures in the face of the two uprisings.
The objective of Syria's Revolution is not limited to overthrowing the regime. The Revolution also seeks to build a democratic system and national infrastructure that safeguards the freedom and dignity of the Syrian people. Moreover, the Revolution is intended to ensure independence and unity of Syria, its people, and its society.
We believe that the overthrow of the regime is the initial goal of the Revolution, but it is not an end in itself. The end goal is freedom for Syria and all Syrians. The method by which the regime is overthrown is an indication of what Syria will be like post-regime. If we maintain our peaceful demonstrations, which include our cities, towns, and villages; and our men, women, and children, the possibility of democracy in our country is much greater. If an armed confrontation or international military intervention becomes a reality, it will be virtually impossible to establish a legitimate foundation for a proud future Syria.
We call on our people to remain patient as we continue our national Revolution. We will hold the regime fully responsible and accountable for the current situation in the country, the blood of all martyrs – civilian and military, and any risks that may threaten Syria in the future, including the possibility of internal violence or foreign military intervention.
To the victory of our Revolution and to the glory of our martyrs.
1355 GMT: France reopened its embassy in the Libyan capital Tripoli after six months.
1235 GMT: Syrian soldiers are saying they have sided with the anti-government protesters.
1220 GMT: At least one person has been killed and more than 20 wounded during raids in Sarameen, in Idlib province, according to the London-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights (SOHR) and the Local Co-ordination Committes.
However, activists claimed that two were killed in the Sarameen district in the northwest province of Idlib and another was killed in the town of Qara outside Damascus during an arrest operation. So, the alleged death toll is three now!
1200 GMT: Despite NATO's "mission complete" statement, Liam Fox, the British Defense Minister said:
As soon as they [civilians] are no longer threatened by remnants of the Gaddafi regime the NATO mission will be over. The easiest way for it to end is for Gaddafi's men to lay down arms. The regime needs to recognise that they need to work with the NTC.
National Transitional Council head Mustafa Abdul-Jalil had something to add: "Gaddafi is still capable is doing something awful in the last moments."
1135 GMT: Human Rights Watch said that detainees in a warehouse near Tripoli were executed by members of the Khamis Brigade, a powerful Gaddafi military force run by Muammar Gaddafi's son Khamis, on August 23. Within three days the same warehouse was set on fire but the cause is unknown, according to the organisation. A survivor said that 153 names were read out on the day of the killings.
1130: See the leaked UN report on post-Gaddafi Libya calling for the deployment of military observers and police force for the transition period for elections.
1125 GMT: Mustafa Abdel Jalil, Chairman of the National Transitional Council (NTC), said: "Had NATO not supported Libya there would have been a major massacre." Meanwhile, NATO representatives said their "mission is incomplete."
Bahrain's King Hamad bin Isa Al Khalifa has indicated the regime will dismiss charges against some pro-reform protesters.
The remark was made in an address on Sunday for the imminent end of the Muslim fasting month of Ramadan. The king said, "There are those who are charged with abusing us and senior officials in Bahrain, we today announce that we forgive them. Although I do not like to interfere in the course of justice, I would like to confirm that all the cases of civilians will have their verdicts issued by a civil court."
King Hamad also said that he had given orders to solve the problem of employees and students who were dismissed: "When we see workers at their work places and students at their learning institutions, while some other workers are not working and other students are not studying, we are prompted to look into their situation in order to help them join their colleagues and classmates."
And the monarch urged those who had been mistreated in custody since the beginning of February's uprising to file a complaint, saying that the law allows compensation for them.
King Hamad asserted, "The recent period was painful to all of us. Although we live in one country, some have forgotten the inevitability of co-existence. Therefore, we should not abandon our belief in having the same and common future, and should not lose trust in each other as brothers, colleagues and citizens."
A military spokesman said insurgents have freed more than 10,000 detainees since entering Tripoli last week. Ahmed Bani added, however, that the whereabouts of about 50,000 people are unknown.
There have been protests in Misurata, Libya's third-largest city, against the reported decision of the National Transitional Council to appoint a former official of the Qaddafi regime as the head of security for the capital Tripoli.
After reports claimed the NTC Prime Minister, Mahmoud Jibril, would appoint Albarrani Shkal, a former army general, about 500 demonstrators gathered in Misurata's Martyrs Square, shouting that the "blood of the martyrs" would be betrayed by the appointment.
Misurata's ruling council lodged a formal protest with the NTC and warned that, if the appointment were confirmed, Misuratan units on security duties in Tripoli would refuse to follow NTC orders.
Many Misurata residents blame Shkal for commanding units that besieged the city during the spring, killing hundreds of civilians.
NTC sources say Shkal became an informer for the opposition in May, passing valuable information back to the opposition base in Benghazi, Libya's second city.
The Syrian opposition has named a 94-member Transitional National Council, chaired by Burhan Ghoulian, a Syrian-French professor at the Sorbonne in Paris.
In a separate entry, we feature Ghoulian's call at the end of the May for co-ordinated and sustained action against the Assad regime.
The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights claims Syrian troops in tanks and personnel carriers moved this morning into the village of Hit, two kilometres (1.2 miles) from the border with Lebanon, with heavy gunfire heard since 9 a.m. local time (0600 GMT).
Cameraman wanders down the maze of tunnels underneath former Libyan leader Muammar Qaddafi's compound, gets lost:
Rudaw reports that Kurdish parties largely boycotted a conference in Istanbul last week amongst the Syrian opposition.
Barzan Bahram, a Syrian Kurdish writer, accused the Muslim Brotherhood of trying to control plans for Syria's future, "The Muslim Brotherhood is trying to exploit the change that is about to take place in Syria for their own gain. And the Turkish government is throwing its full support behind the Islamic groups to bring them to the forefront."
Bahram continued, "Any Syrian opposition conference will not succeed without an active participation of the Kurds. Also the opposition must take into consideration the location of the conferences."
Shelal Gado, a leader in the leftist Kurdish Party of Syria, said that some Kurds may have attended the conference but contended that they did not represent an umbrella group of 11 Kurdish parties.
Libya's National Transitional Council said Sunday that it will not extradite Abdelbaset Al-Megrahi, the only person convicted over the 1988 bombing of a Pan Am flight over Lockerbie, Scotland, as he had already been tried.
Al-Megrahi was convicted in January 2001 of the bombing, which killed 270 people, but was freed in August 2009 after doctors said he had terminal prostate cancer. He now lives in a family villa in Tripoli.
The general impression on Sunday was of the slow move towards the "normal" in the Libyan capital Tripoli, with the National Transitional Council trying to establish authority and services. The city is reportedly "calm" this morning.
Meanwhile, the gradual build-up to a battle --- in essence, a final showdown with the old regime --- in Muammar Qaddafi's hometown of Sirte, east of Tripoli, continues.
Al Jazeera English's Zeina Khodr reports this morning that the advance of fighters towards Sirte has been slowed by a lack of skilled reinforcements: "There are no lack of men who actually lack weapons, but what you lack are trained fighters. Until Tripoli is secure we are not going to see these fighters...you are going to need them if you are going to open new battles like in Sirte or in Sabha, further south another stronghold of the Libyan leader."
In Syria, activists say security forces dispersed an overnight sit-in at Badr Mosque in Malki, an upscale area in the centre of Damascus. The demonstration started with about 200 people and was later joined by some worshippers. The Local Coordinating Committees claim around 10 protesters were detained.
Syrian forces have also reportedly surrounded Rastan, north of Homs, after Saturday's stories of the defection of soldiers in the area. At least 40 light tanks and armoured vehicles, and 20 buses full of troops and Military Intelligence, were deployed at 5:30 a.m. local time at the entrance to the town.
Damascus has presented the Arab League with an "official objection" over Saturday's statement by League Foreign Ministers demanding an end to the conflict.
Syrian officials said the meeting agreed on a visit by Nabil Al Araby, the Secretary-General of the Arab League, but also accepted that no statement was going to be issued.

Mobius is a 7 yr old Australian Cattledog. She is full sister to Linux, half sister to Troy and step-sister to Klein. Mobi loves to be hugged - a lot. By everyone who visits the house. She talks alot, watches TV and even has the commercials with dogs in them memorized by the music. She loves watching hockey, soccer, Meerkat Manor and Febreeze commercials (they always have dogs in them!) ... Mobi isn't fond of toys or 'playing' with other dogs or getting her fur ruffled. She loves to sleep in and has to be coaxed outside in the morning. Her favourite things are riding co-pilot in the truck, Milkbones (but not the black ones!), liver, and horse poop (fresh or frozen!).View Profile
Klein is a 7yr old Rotti-Shep and she is step-sis to Mobi, Linux and Troy. She is very quiet, shy and very leery of strangers; she knows who to trust from the get go and does not let anyone on the property she does not know. She loves swimming, chewing pillow corners, chasing the horses, riding in the truck, chasing a stick, ball, squeeky toy ... anything airborne! And of course, horse poop (fresh or frozen!). She understands only 7 words and phrases: "swimming", "truck", "cookie", "horses", "scratch bum?", "Tim Horton's?", "bad pillow!!!" ... She is the kindest, most peace-loving dog I have ever met ... :)View Profile

Council MinutesThursday, June 5th, 2014
May 6, 2014
Those Present: Matt Argyle, Ada DeClark, Joe DeClark, Glenn Hunter, Clerk Lynette Smith, Doug Thompson, Mayor Bob Van Cleave, Mable Whitmore, Ryan and Corbin Spencer
Meeting called to order: 7:05 pm Invocation: Councilmember Ada DeClark
The chair entertained a motion from councilmember Matt Argyle that the council accepts the published agenda. Councilmember Joe DeClark seconded the motion. All were in favor and the motion carried the council.
Minutes from the April 1, 2014, regular council meeting were read. The chair entertained a motion from councilmember Glenn Hunter the council approve the minutes as read. Councilmember Joe DeClark seconded the motion. All were in favor and the motion carried the council.
Three bids to mow the city park were received in the office. Two out of the three bids were pretty much the same. Councilmember Ada DeClark made the motion to have the Mayor call and interview the bidders that were the same, about insurance, how often they will mow and then he can make the decision as to who to hire. Councilmember Glenn Hunter seconded the motion. All were in favor and the motion carried.
Mable Whitmore represented the Twin Creek Days Committee. She passed out a schedule for the day and made assignments for councilmembers to take care of that day. The City will still take care of the lunch for the day and councilmember Glenn Hunter will be responsible for ordering and gathering everything for the lunch. Councilmember Joe DeClark will clean up the tables and help serve the luncheon. Councilmember Ada DeClark will be responsible for the treasure hunt/treasure pool and councilmember Matt Argyle will take care of the advertising.
Doug Thompson asked the council about their thoughts on using Roto Rooter to maintain the city sewer lines, to clear at least one section a year, to prevent any large blockages in the system like what happened last fall. The Roto Rooter business has relocated to Montpelier and would be very convenient for us to use. Doug will get an estimate from him for the council to approve how many sections we can perform maintenance on each year.
Doug has found a few issues with the water system throughout the City recently with pressure reducers, valves and eroded lines. He received an estimate from Ferguson's for the materials to fix lines at Don & Paul Clark's in the amount of $2,020.00. Councilmember Ada DeClark made the motion for Doug to make the purchase for the materials from Ferguson's in the amount of $2,020.00. Councilmember Joe DeClark seconded the motion. All were in favor and the motion carried. Doug informed the council that there are two sets of pressure reducers and some valves which have gone bad and need to be replaced. He will speak with Idaho Rural Water to see what our options are and speak with contractors that would be willing and certified to perform the work. When these fixes occur, the City water will all be shut down for a short while if everything needs to be completely replaced. We will also work on getting estimates on how much all of this will cost to the water fund.
The council discussed the LHTAC street grant briefly and said that they are still researching possibilities. There is some confusion on the wording in the grant letter that Lynette will call LHTAC to get cleared up about correct dates.
Doug also informed the council that he will be doing lots of road patching along various streets this summer. He was notified that there is about $10,000 in the current budget for him to do so.
Doug received a bid from Sims Construction for putting up a new roof on the City Shop. After much discussion the council agreed that they would like to maintain the building that we have before going through the expense of building a new one, such as the shed for all equipment. Perhaps the equipment shed will be put off for another year at least. They will make more of a concrete decision about what to do with the buildings until we know further on our water situation within the City.
Reed Clark has offered to fence the sewer ponds, and he has already done the other side about a year ago. He will perform all of the labor if the City will pay for the materials. Doug will get a bid from Reed listing the expense of the materials for the council to approve.
Councilmember Joe DeClark reported that he attended an LHTAC meeting this past month and that it was mostly about all of the bike races that will be going on in this area over the summer.
Councilmember Ada DeClark reported on the Easter Egg Hunt which she received lots of great feedback on and will plan to do it again next year. She also proposed for the water budget to be reopened for the next meeting.
Police Report: Officer John Martinez made 24 contacts for the month of April.
Maintenance Report: Doug Thompson gave his report for the month of April stating that he turned water services off at one location and on at two locations. He received his lab sample tests which were good. Taylor Construction is coming back and getting set up and ready to resume construction sometime next week. He tore down the trees behind the City Hall building and took a few loads to the dump with them. At the cemetery, he marked a grave for a headstone to be put in and put some backfill on a few sunken graves. He issued dog warnings to those who haven't purchased their licenses yet, marked some areas for DigLine and attended the LHTAC meeting with councilmember Joe DeClark. He also overhauled the lawn mower and mowed the lawn at the City Park.
Office Report: Clerk Smith reported that there are 16 delinquent water and sewer accounts for the month of April. She bought new phones from King's of Montpelier because the Caller ID stopped working on the old phones. She ordered new coupon payment booklets for the next two years and will compile a letter to send to all citizens with the new books. She informed the council that she will be changing her office hours for the summer to Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday from 9:00 am – 12:00 pm. A customer has complained about their account being a month behind. Lynette researched the issue and his account has continuously been a month behind since before she was hired in 2011. The council agreed to make everyone's lives easier by removing one month's worth of services from his account. Lynette will compile a letter to Randy Toomer for the Mayor to sign notifying him of the council's decision granting him a one-time credit to his account.
The chair entertained a motion from councilmember Matt Argyle the council approve checks and vouchers for the month of April 2014 in the amount of $11,139.97 in the general fund, $72,772.82 in the water fund, $26,399.94 in the sewer fund with all funds totaling $110,312.73. Councilmember Glenn Hunter seconded the motion. All were in favor and the motion carried the council.
The chair entertained a motion from councilmember Ada DeClark that the council adjourn from the May 2014 council meeting at 9:15 pm. Councilmember Matt Argyle seconded the motion. All were in favor and the motion carried the council.
Respectfully submitted,
Lynette Smith, City Clerk

Janis Joplin
January 19, 1943 - October 4, 1970
"On stage, I make love to 25,000 different people, then I go home alone."
Janis was in LA, taping her final album, "Pearl,"
in October of 1970.
Findadeath friend David Lewis sends: The only song (on the album) she does not sing on is (supposedly) the last song she was to finish, but instead died. Buried Alive in the Blues. Weird huh?
After recording on the evening of the 3rd, she and band member Ken Pearson had a couple of drinks at Barney's Beanery.
Just after midnight, they drove back to the Landmark Hotel, at 7047 Franklin.
Inside room 105, she shot up her last fix of heroin. She returned to the hotel lobby to get change for a five dollar bill, for cigarettes. She chatted casually with the hotel clerk, who later said she seemed perfectly natural (and he didn't know who she was). When she returned to her room, she collapsed beside the bed, almost breaking her nose. She was wedged against a bedside table, with a cigarette in her hand.
John Cook, one of her band members, became alarmed when she didn't show up for the recording session the next morning, and after unsuccessfully trying to reach her by telephone, he went to the hotel, broke down the door and found her dead.
She was 27 years old.
Coroners case #70-10463:
June 2007: A little explanation from Findadeath Family member Mel: From what I can tell, she was lying in kind of a weird position when she died, more on her left side but with the right side of her face and nose smashed into the carpet. I say this because of the notes regarding the "liver mortis" noted on her body. Liver mortis is a discoloration that occurs in mostly dependent areas of the body, where there is pressure. It is graded on a scale, with 4 plus being the worst, which is what she had. This means maximal discoloration. You'll notice that he mentions the skin in those areas "doesn't blanch with pressure" or something to that effect. Basically, those areas of her body were purple, and the color did not disappear when the skin was pressed. I can tell you, she was not a pretty picture, lying there purple-faced, with blood in her mouth and froth coming out. Although there were Dalmane tabs found on the bed, according to the toxicology report she had nothing but heroin in her system. (Heroin breaks down chemically into morphine). There were no barbiturates, no sedatives, no speed. The drugs they tested for are in any standard tox screen. I guess it was a particularly strong batch of heroin that got her. Heroin/morphine depresses the respiratory system, so she basically ended up drowning in her own secretions, but I doubt if she knew it - she was probably out cold. And soon-to-be REAL cold.
Mel also attached a great picture of Janis' name carved into the table at Barney's Beanery,
and this nice shot of the authentic to the time kitchen in the room.
Findadeath friend Bec sends us: I
recently purchased the book "Hippie" by Barry Miles. It had a
bit in there about Janis that frankly I hadn't heard before...
"Janis returned to room 105 at the Landmard Motel, where she and some of her musician's were staying, at about 1 a.m. Earlier that day her connection had delivered $50 worth of heroin to her. But her dealer himself was not an addict and whenever he received a new consignment, he usually had a "tester" check it for him to see how pure it was before stepping on it accordingly. But his tester was away. He sent it out anyway. The smack turned out to be between 50% and 80% pure - eight times stronger than people were used to. Eight people would die from using that batch over the weekend; Janis was one of them."
On October 10th, she was cremated at Westwood Memorial Park. Her ashes were scattered over Stinson Beach, in Marin County.
Janis had provided $1,500 dollars in her will for a funeral party, where The Grateful Dead performed for 200 of her friends. Findadeath.com friend Beca tracked down this copy of the invitation.
How absolutely fantastic. The party was held at The Lion's Share, 60
Redhill Drive, in San Aselmo.
June 2007 Findadeath friend Jenny in Marin County got this great picture of the building where Janis' wake fest was held.
Thank you Jenny.
Other new findadeath friend Gaelan also did a photo trip to the locale, and notes that this business now occupies the building.
Thanks so much you guys.
Trivia: In 1995, bricks from the Joplin childhood home in Port Arthur, Texas, went on sale for 40 bucks a pop.
The Landmark Hotel has since been renamed The Highland Gardens.
Findadeath.com friend Michelle in Texas sends us this: Just some trivia from your favorite dyke in Austin, Texas. Janis attended the University Of Texas at Austin in the early 60's. They voted her "Ugliest Man On Campus". Also, one of her first gigs in Austin was a place called Threadgills, which now is a popular local chain of restaurants.
Meredith Montgomery send us this:
Janis did indeed attend the University of Texas in Austin, as I did from 1984 to
1989. My boyfriend and I went to Threadgills, hoping to be a part of history.
Instead, we received the lousiest service I've ever had at a restaurant. I
wasn't hungry that day, so I just wanted to order an iced tea. My boyfriend
wanted just an order of fries. The bitch waitress remarked that if we wanted
hamburgers (they only serve entree kind of food) that we should have gone to
McDonald's. We tipped her a penny and left. I hope it was cooler when Janis
performed there.
Updated September 11, 2002:
So, a buddy of mine was staying at the Highland Gardens a couple of weeks ago. I went to visit him, and the place was just like I remembered. I glanced down the hallway that led to her room, which has NOT changed numbers, 105.
The people that used to run the hotel, never liked to talk about the Janis thing. Since I left LA the last time, the hotel changed hands, and rightfully, the new owners think its great! You can even request Janis's room.
This guy I was talking to in the lobby, started telling me stories about various incidents that he believe are Janis, but only when someone says something about her.
Those 8 by 10's of celebrities that grace every single business in LA, fly off the walls. Doors slam shut, etc. Nothing too destructive, but again only when someone discusses Janis. One other incident involved the phone lines going nuts at 3 in the morning. Every single phone from every single room started ringing at the switchboard. The guy calls the owner, and the owner is just as dumbfounded. Then the owner says, "It must be Janis." Instantly the phones stopped ringing. A little creepy, then as we're talking, the phone starts ringing. He says, "Good evening, Highland Gardens Hotel." No one there. It happens again, and again, and again. At least 6 times. It wasn't major creepiness, but it was kinda cool to think it just might be Janis.
On November 26th 2003, my pal Brian celebrated his birthday. Brian met Christine at my Death Hag get together last June, and they are the cool new Findadeath couple. To celebrate Brian's birthday, Christine rented room 105. Yeah, THE room. We got in, and we marveled at the authenticity of much of it.
Running around saying things like, Janis used this faucet!
My pal Ted from www.celebritycollectables.com sent me a copy of Janis' autopsy report for the occasion, and with that information I was able to pretty much pinpoint Janis' final landing spot.
Then we went out to Barney's Beanery, just like Pearl did, and after we passed the absolute hunkiest doorman on the planet,
we indulged in the Beanery's famous fare.
Above the table where we ate, there were the former tables of the place, hung from the ceiling. According to the waitresses (who was all of twelve), this is the one that Janis supposedly scratched her name in, but for the life of us, we couldn't find it.
Actually, I doubt any of them even know who Janis was. Still, what a terrific night. Thank you guys, for including me in.
October 2003 from Findadeath.com
friend Gerry Dickert: I'm the managing editor for a newspaper called The Beaumont Enterprise in
Beaumont, Texas. In our files I found the following photographs of Janis.
Thought they would be a nice addition to your site. I've added an
attribute on the photograph to keep the boss-guys happy here.
Some information on the photos:
Janis returned to Port Arthur, Texas, for her 10th year high school reunion on August 15, 1970. She attended Thomas Jefferson High School, which no longer exists, having been merged with other of the city's high schools into one mega-school in recent years. Pictured with Janis are, from left, Gilbert Cadena, Glenda South Standoffer, and 1960 TJ Class President Clarence Bray.
This was the childhood home of Janis, located on Procter Street in Port Arthur, Texas, where she lived until the age of 4 years old. When this picture was taken, in 1980, it had already been saved once from demolition attempts by the city in 1978 when Groves, Texas, builder Howard Riggs bought the property to save it from being razed. Having bought the property for his daughter, a Janis fan, Riggs was disappointed when his efforts to refurbish the home and see it become a museum fell short. The home was eventually torn down by the Port Arthur city housing department in January 1980
City workers work on the ruins of Janis' childhood home in January 1980. Through deterioration and vandalism, the home had diminished to the point of unacceptable standards, according to the city, and was razed.
Thanks tons, Gerry.
Feb 2003, Findadeath.com friend Mark Smith sends us this: Here is a photo of Janis Joplin's house in Larkspur. This is her "house in the woods" that she bought a year before her death - and still owned at the time of her death.
The house had been sold by the estate when this photo was taken, around 1980. Thanks Mark!
This just in, from Findadeath friend Amber:
Some info that I remember but have yet
to find anything online to substantiate. I think this is a mix of things I
remember from some TV biography of Janis and from some books I read about her
years ago...
In early 1970 Janis and a friend went off to Brazil for a few months because Janis wanted to get clean. She was successful (at least temporarily) and while there she met an American man that she fell quickly in love with. They returned to the U.S. together, but the relationship dissolved not long after their return. She started to fall back into the rock n roll lifestyle so to speak, and he wanted no part of it. She laid down the vocal track for Me and Bobby McGee. (My own interpretation is that the song has at least some basis in that failed relationship) That night she overdosed. The next morning the band members were in the studio waiting for her to arrive and finish up the track. As your account already includes, one of the band members broke down her door and found her body after they were unable to reach her by phone. The band went back to the studio days later and finished the instrumentation to the track. The album was released, and Me and Bobby McGee became her first song to reach #1.
Janis was honored at the Grammys in 2005 by her old pal Kris Kristopherson, Joss Stone and Melissa Etheridge. I thought Melissa rocked it, and seeing Janis' brother and sister in the audience made it a real moment, I thought. I just watched it again, and this video effing rocks.
June 2010 - recently Troy and I went to the Grammy museum in downtown LA. Right this minute there is an exhibition on Janis, Jimi and Jim. I had never been to the museum, so was pretty psyched. I'll give it an OK. If I didn't mind putting on nasty dirty headphones, I may have enjoyed it more. Honestly, they should make them disposable, it was disgusting. One thing that made the trip totally worthwhile - Joplin's psychedelic Porsche was there.
Apparently it was owned by her brother, who used it for errands etc, and was in pretty bad shape - now it's been restored, and it's pretty darn cool. Here is the interior, where no doubt Janis would punch it and burn rubber.
The custom designed hood
and boot.
It's worth a trip to the Grammy museum - actually you can probably just go in the front door and see it, and not have to pay. Worth it.

I think that what she meant was that the stones you first become interested in are the ones that are not only attractive to you, but also connect with you in some way. Stones, crystals, and so on resonate with energy, and those energies can reflect on people, sometimes like magnets where the energy between two magnets can pull each other towards one another, just as well as they can force each other apart.
Each stone also has properties that can be seen as magical or spiritual. For example Tiger's Eye is a stone that is regarded for it's protective qualities, thus many people often use the stone for protection and may use the stone in protection spells, or carry the stone with them as a protective charm. Smoky Quartz is used to absorb and bind negative energies and influences, some people may use this stone in spells to banish negativity whether it be from yourself or others, again some people may also carry this stone around them for this purpose.
Just to clarify, however, stones can be used for many purposes, each stone or crystal has their own unique energy signature and properties associated with it, and you may read or find that some stones have more than one use or property associated with them. You will also find that the uses and properties of each stone may vary differently, and this is because different people, different cultures and traditions believe things differently so I advise that you do some research for each new stone you get, and don't take the first thing you read or hear about as truth. In time you will learn that each stone for you has it's own uses and properties that are specific to you and you alone. Anyway here are some books that might help you read more on stones and crystals etc:
Cunningham's Encyclopedia of Crystal, Gem & Metal Magic (Cunningham's Encyclopedia Series) by Scott Cunningham (1998)
I hope this helps,
Green Blessings,

Plus, he's an amazing ball player. in 2012, Bryce was the first rookie ever chosen for the All-Star team and was the National League Rookie of the Year that year. Since then, Bryce has racked up amazing numbers and is considered one of the best in the game.
