I questioned the amount of baking soda. I've never used that small an amount for this sort of recipe so I doubled it to 1/4 t. and glad I did. Think more would have been okay too but the recipe is wonderful and I don't mind the density.

the taste is rich and buttery, the texture more like a cake than a bread. the lemon adds just the right amount of zest to perk up the flavors.
amusgrove Posted: 12/02/12
I found it doughy and not nearly as good as my wonderful zucchini bread with cream cheese. Not worth changing my recipe for this. The lack of lift has to be due to the small amount of baking soda and the reliance on sour cream for lift. Also, the flavor of lemon was negligible. But, if you must, take note of other reviewers suggestions and double both the baking soda and lemon zest. Not one I will make again.

This bread is delish!!! It is a great alternative to the more traditional spiced zucchini bread I grew up with. Don't get me wrong, I still make the cinnamon laced bread from my childhood, but this bread screams summer! The lemon flavor is very refreshing without being too overpowering. I love the small loaves. They make for wonderful gifts! The bread if moist and flavorful. With an overload of zucchini I plan on making several batches to share and freeze to enjoy later! Highly reccommend!
RochellePills Posted: 08/11/12
Now I know what to do with those 2 # green monsters that seem to appear on my door steps overnight!!!! I agree with others, it does make it better to add just a touch more of zest.
BelindaGowan Posted: 08/30/12
I've made this three times and it disappeared overnight each time! I used yellow zucchini and made a glaze with the juice and powdered sugar.
Caththefoodie Posted: 08/08/12
I made these combining other posted reviews. My muffins were made with 2 T. fresh lemon juice, grated lemon peel, the vanilla greek yogurt instead of sour cream. I will make these again but they are too sweet for my taste. Nex time I wll cut the sugar to one cup and use fat free sour cream and perhaps add 1/2 t. vanilla extract. I baked at 325 for 30 minutes and yielded 16 muffins. They did not brown on top remaining very light in color.
Couchmore Posted: 07/28/12
Delicious! Very moist. I used vanilla greek yogurt instead of sour cream, and added 1T fresh rosemary and 2T lemon juice. I made muffins...baked for 25 minutes and the recipe made 16. This one's a keeper!
kasmil Posted: 08/06/12
I made this recipe as directed. It was very dense (which I loved), but I had to bake it 10 min. longer and it didn't have much lemon taste. I think I'll take other people's lead and add lemon juice and extra zest next time.
connieswed Posted: 08/01/12
made this exactly like the recipe, would add another T. lemon zest. really lovely bread
mgraham Posted: 08/01/12
Delicious and moist. Nice change from the usual zuchini bread. I did use 2 tablespoons of lemon zest and added in some lemon juice. Have already made a second batch.
Cheryl242 Posted: 11/12/12
I thought the idea of this made into muffins sounded really good, and they were OK, but kind of flavorless. I used more lemon rind than called for, too, but think they could use some frozen lemonade mix added in addition to that. I had to put a light glaze on top to jazz them up just a bit. That helped, but think next time I'd add about 1/3 cup frozen lemonade mix to the batter along with additional lemon rind, and still might need a light glaze on top. (lemon juice, rind, and powdered sugar) Not sure I'll try them again, though,
MotorcycleCook Posted: 07/31/12
This was delicious. My loaf pans were larger than 3x5 so I made 2. Mine did not turn out as tall because of the pan size so I don't think mine are as pretty as the ones in the magazine. Loved the lemony flavor, it totally disguised the squash. I will definetly make this again.
MKaminski Posted: 04/21/13
Based on other reviews I increased the baking soda to 1/4 tsp and the lemon zest to 2T. I also added 2 T lemon juice and 1 tsp vanilla. I baked it at 325 degrees in a 8.5x4.5x2.5 loaf pan (with overflow in 3 muffin cups). The muffins baked for 25 minutes and the larger loaf pan for 1hr 25min.
OhMamaMimi Posted: 08/24/14
Oh my goodness! So moist and not too sweet. I made a couple of changes to the recipe - doubled the baking soda to 1/4 tsp., and used 1/2 butter, 1/2 olive oil (instead of total butter, which tends to make cakes and cookies dry and harden so fast!) I also added 1 T. lemon juice to the batter. It was melt-in-your mouth good. :-)
robertajmc74 Posted: 06/26/14
This bread is very good. I did how ever make a few changes. I used whole wheat flour instead of all-purpose. I cut back the sugar by 1/3 cup and used greek yogurt instead of sour cream. It was moist but firm like a bread should be. Love the lemon and poppy seed together. I will make this again.

consists of 9 releases.
Released September 1999

Crabs in all forms and sizes, not just the giant enemy variety.
Crawling is a form of locomotion in which a person lies down and uses the hands and knees to move around, or by dragging the body along the ground.
An attack that does more damage than usual, usually affected by random chance and some sort of modifier.
A non-interactive sequence within a game most often used for plot advancement.
A specific number that briefly floats above an enemy after an attack which displays the exact amount of damage the attack has done.
Deadly Gas is used in many games as an obstacle and usually causes the player's health to degenerate over time.
The main line of distinction between victory or failure in video games, death is the process of a biological being ceasing to be alive.
Voice actors don't always get an NPC to represent them. Sometimes voices have no visible speaker.
Dragons were originally messengers from heaven, according to early Buddhist texts. In video games, they are mostly adversaries to be overcome, but there are some exceptions.
Carefully exploring a large, labyrinthine area full of enemies (i.e., a dungeon) in the hopes of finding treasure, leveling up, or completing a specific task. Having their roots in tabletop games, video game dungeon crawls are found almost exclusively in RPGs.
The 1999 Electronic Entertainment Expo (E3) took place at the Los Angeles Convention Center in Los Angeles California on May 13-15.
Certain abilities are often associated by Elements, like magic. Any kind of magician or creature(ie. Dragon) that uses Earth-related spells or abilties falls under this cathegory.
The Classical Elements are usually considered to be Earth, Water, Air and Fire. In modern science, the Periodic Table has increased the number of elements to 118.
Experience Points are part of a character advancement system commonly found in RPGs. These points are generally gained by defeating an enemy or completing a task.
A powerful release of energy. This energy is usually expelled in all directions very quickly, typically giving off orange or red flames.

A person, often a gypsy woman, gifted in diviniation through some kind of inate power or mysticism, usually with the aid of a crystal ball.
A frog is a small and usually green amphibian that can swim, hop, and ribbit. Sadly, most of them aren't princes.
Game Over originally appeared in pinball machines, and later, arcade machines. When players lose at a game, it is game over.
Earrings, greatswords, and rubber suits. Some party members simply don't have the assets needed to wear these items.
A common location in games, specifically RPGs. Usually inhabited by ghosts and other creatures from the beyond.
These spooky entities are the spirits of the dead, returned from beyond their graves for generally sinister purposes. There's generally about even odds whether a particular ghost will be helpful or malevolent towards the living, but some ghosts just want to be left alone entirely.
A gigantic dweller of the deep; this creature has been featured in many video games, movies, stories, and legends. Beware, when a giant squid is near, for death (or fun) follows.
These are endings that aren't just good, but they give you everything you could want. The world is saved, the hero gets the girl, friendships are made that will last forever, everyone is safe, the villain is gone for good, and all loose ends are wrapped up forever.... unless a sequel is made.
A heads-up display is a graphical overlay of vital information used in most modern games.
More effective than any hospital. These games let you heal damage; ranging from a black eye to a gunshot wound, just by having a snack.
Health is a value that gauges how much damage players can take in a game before they die or pass out. Also known as life in some games. Health is usually represented by a bar or a percentage instead of an exact amount. Found in most non sport games

The 10-year-old girl who was suing her mom's ex-boyfriend in attempts to get her dog back has been reunited with the pet. Adrienne Lenhoff, the girl's mother, tells Fox 2 attorneys arranged for the ex-boyfriend to bring the dog to their new home on Friday. The dog was brought over while Hannah Wise was still at school, and when she came home she was greeted at the door by the dog, Mystery. Hannah explained at a story-telling event last Friday night at the Charles H. Wright Museum of African-American History that the ex-boyfriend agreed to take care of the dog while she and her mom got settled in a new home. Once they were settled he would not return the dog.

Stocks struggle as crisis in Europe deepens
European debt troubles remain in the foreground, and protests turn violent in Spain and Greece. US new-home sales fall, but prices soar. RIM advances after announcing more subscribers.
A day after the Dow posted its biggest one-day loss in nearly a month, U.S. stocks slipped as investors followed the unfolding events in Europe, specifically in Spain and Greece. Stocks remained lower after data showed new-home sales fell in August, though prices soared.
The Dow Jones Industrial Average ($INDU) was was down 10 points at 13,447. The S&P 500 ($INX) was down 5 points at 1,436. The Nasdaq Composite ($COMPX) was down 22 points at 3,096.
Tuesday's sell-off
On Tuesday, Charles Plosser, the president of the Philadelphia Federal Reserve Bank, said he does not believe the Fed's latest stimulus campaign will do anything for economic growth. Markets skidded after his comments.
The Dow Jones industrials ($INDU) fell 101 points to 13,458, their third straight decline. The S&P 500 ($INX) was off 15 points to 1,442, and the Nasdaq Composite ($COMPX) was down 43 points to 3,118, its second loss in a row. Apple (AAPL), the biggest influence on the Nasdaq-100 ($NDX), was down $17.25 to $673.54.
Concerns over the effect of a slowing global growth on company profits also heightened Tuesday after Caterpillar (CAT) became the latest high-profile company to cut its outlook.
- MORE MARKETS | Commodities | Treasurys | Currencies | World stocks
After positive housing data Tuesday, figures were mixed Wednesday. Sales of new single-family homes in the U.S. fell slightly in August but held near two-years highs. Sales dipped to 373,000 from July's slightly revised level of 374,000, the Commerce Department said. Economists had expected new-home sales to reach 380,000, according to Briefing.com.
The median sales prices, however, soared by 11.2% in August to $256,900, the highest level in more than five years and the biggest monthly increase ever recorded.
Housing data released Tuesday showed home prices increased for the fourth month in a row, to their highest level in nearly two years. Although cheered at first by the data, markets reversed course after Plosser's remarks.
Applications for U.S. home mortgages rose 2.8% last week, the Mortgage Bankers Association said Wednesday, as interest rates dropped to record lows in the wake of the Fed's latest stimulus efforts.
Concerns about Spain and Greece
Meanwhile, in Spain, anti-austerity protests in Madrid turned violent. Also, the Catalonia region announced early elections that could lead to the country's most economically important region to declare independence from Spain.
The Spanish government is expected to announce the 2013 budget and an economic plan on Thursday. Some observers are speculating the government might announce a bailout, while others think it will wait until Italy asks for help as well. Borrowing costs, however, surged for Spain on Wednesday. Not helping matters was a letter from Germany, Finland and the Netherlands on Tuesday implying that any rescue funds Spain receives for its banks will remain part of its public debt.
Another problematic eurozone country, Greece, is facing a 24-hour general strike to protest austerity measures. Meanwhile, European Central Bank executive board member Joerg Asmussen said in a newspaper interview Wednesday that the ECB won't take part in any potential debt restructuring of Greece and that the country's external financing needs can be met only by member states.
Global markets
As worries over Spain and Greece escalated, European stock markets moved sharply lower, following Wall Street and Asia markets' steep declines that were prompted by Plosser's comments.
Asian markets suffered a sell-off Wednesday, with Chinese stocks falling to their lowest level since January 2009 and Japanese shares tumbling as many companies began to trade without rights to their latest dividend payouts.
The euro fell to a more than two-week low against the dollar, while the dollar strengthened against a basket of six major currencies. Crude oil futures extended their losses, falling below $91 a barrel in Asian trading.
Stocks to watch
Research In Motion (RIMM) shares rose in after-hours trading Tuesday after the smartphone maker said it had added 2 million subscribers to its BlackBerry service and showed off a new mobile operating system, which won't be out until next year.
Jabil Circuit (JBL) shares were down after the provider of electronic-design services reported lower profits that missed analyst estimates. The company also issued a fiscal-first-quarter earnings outlook late Tuesday that also fell short of most analysts' forecasts.
RadioShack (RSH) said CEO James Gooch will step down effective immediately as the company seeks to revive its flagging fortunes, Reuters reported. CFO Dorvin Lively will be the interim CEO.
Government added 4,000,000,000 more to the deficit every day so far this year. Ben is shoveling in ?,000,000,000 into the market every day. Where is the audit of the Fed. Harry? Thanks for squashing Rand Paul's call for a full audit. Liberal sleaze ball politics under the direction of the imposter messiah. Obama lied when he said you can't change Washington from within. His Chicago mob style rule has proven that by him protecting the crooks in his cabinet at the tax payer's expense. No real solutions, just empty promises and plenty of blame to go around.
Yep the real housing market data is horrible but hey what do you want to believe the horrible truth or the rose colored Obama numbers.
So much for a housing recovery it's tanking again.
New home sales in August hit an annualized rate of 373,000, which is slightly down from July's revised rate of 374,000, and worse than the rate of 380,000 that had been broadly expected.
100% correct! This should include the truth about our deficits, debts and unfunded liabilities. It should also include the truth about gov spending - specifically defense spending, entitlement spending and "bridge to nowhere" spending. In addition, a full audit of the Federal Reserve and of our physical gold holdings should be conducted and made public.
"When you want to help people, you tell them the truth. When you want to help yourself, you tell them what they want to hear."- Thomas Sowell
Most of our politicians only tell us what we want to hear.
WASHINGTON, DC: The White House announced that for the first time in decades, our sitting American President spoke at the United Nations but chose not meet with even one world leader at the United Nations General Assembly meeting. Further, it is now believed that Barack Hussein Obama is actually Chauncey Gardiner! The White House also stated that this is the fault of George W. Bush also!

Folks there is no crisis in Europe heck the Wall Street bankers over there are getting trillions of euros from the European Central Bank. In order to pay for the new laons the super rich are taking out over there to increase their wealth they (the 1 percenters) just want most of Europe to get paid what Chinese workers get paid 25 cents an hour so that the huge profits the 1 percenters will make off keeping prices at levels as if people were making $100,000 euros a year and only getting paid 25 cents an hour.
The increased profit margins will work wonders for the bottom lines of all European companies expect those silly enough to have moved operations over to Chinese where the minimum wage is going up to 50 cents an hour.
Yep European companies are going to be floating in euros soon as they get trillions from their central banks and double their profits by decreasing their labor costs.
Yep FREE MONIES OUT THERE GRAB YOURS before the Wall Street bankers get it all

Qualified Residential Mortgage and Risk Retention
Proposed QRM rules may lead to high down payment requirements.
On Aug. 8, 2014, NAR President Steve Brown provided comments to the U.S. Department of Treasury in response to a request for Public Input on Development of Responsible Private Label Securities (PLS) Market.
On Feb. 26, 2014, NAR sent a letter to the House Financial Services Committee's Subcommittee on Capital Markets and Government Sponsored Enterprises for a hearing on the Dodd-Frank Act's impact on asset-backed securities.
On Oct. 30, real estate and finance industry groups, including NAR, sent a joint trade letter the agencies responsible for the QRM rules (the Federal Reserve, FDIC, HUD, SEC, Department of the Treasury, and the FHFA) regarding commercial real estate elements of the re-proposed rule on credit risk retention ("the Re-proposal").
NAR believes that aligning the QRM definition with the QM definition removes the risky product features and low- or no-documentation lending that led to increased defaults, without excluding those buyers who are unable to afford a high down payment.
On behalf of the leading advocate for homeownership and housing issues, NAR President Gary Thomas recommended essential reforms to the current housing finance structure that will benefit consumers.
NAR President Gary Thomas talks about the successes of QM/QRM rulemaking, and the coming debates over the reforms of Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac, and the FHA.
The six financial federal regulators [HUD, Fed, FDIC, FHFA, OCC, SEC] responsible for writing and implementing the Qualified Residential Mortgage rule, or "QRM", re-proposed the rule after receiving considerable pushback from NAR, other housing industry groups, consumer groups, and lawmakers.
Proposed revisions to the qualified residential mortgage rule announced today will help millions of people buy homes and strengthen the mortgage market, says NAR President Gary Thomas.
"I am pleased to announce a significant victory for REALTORS® and homebuyers. Because of REALTORS®' efforts, and other important stakeholders, the administration just announced a proposed rule that will preserve low down payments for qualified homebuyers."
The re-proposed Qualified Residential Mortgage rule announced this morning is a victory for homebuyers and the future of homeownership in this country.

Animated GIF is not
really a video format. It is a sequence of GIF frames stringed together. Due
to the 256-color limitation of GIF, the color is dithered. The compression is
not that great, so the file size tend to be large given the frame rate and resolution.
However, since GIF is supported by all web browsers without any add-on, it
is a great way to create small video thumbnails. Generally, the resolution should
be kept small (80x60, for example), the frame rate should be kept low (4 fps,
for example), and the duration should be kept under a few seconds.
Animated GIF is not really a video format. It uses 256-color GIF compression,

PILOT ROCK - Weston-McEwen's volleyball team picked up another pair of wins Saturday, dropping Pilot Rock, 25-7, 25-19, 25-12 and Irrigon 25-10, 25-11, 25-18 at Pilot Rock.
Morgan Entze led the TigerScots with 17 assists, 15 kills and seven aces, while Jordan Reger added 28 assists. Tiffany Cain knocked home 18 kills with three aces, and Renee Baumann had 10 kills and six aces.
The TigerScots also got seven aces from Jaymie Zimmerman and nine kills and three aces from Haley Freske.
"We got a lot of great performances from our team, but I have to point out the defense we got from LaAnne Harnden and McKayla Carlin," said W-M head coach Shawn White. "They really helped carry us in both games."
The win gives the TigerScots the league title heading into their regular season finale Tuesday at Elgin.
"This was our homecoming week and a long week in general for our girls," White said. "I'm proud of how they responded. This is a good place for us to be right now."
W-M is now 24-2 overall and 13-0 in league play. Districts for the TigerScots begin on Saturday.

It's soon to be Aprils' Fool Day...
That being said, I wouldn't mind seeing an archipelago-focused expansion (the pirate aspects of WoW have always been some of my favorite parts), but I do think they could name it better than something like 'Mists of Pandaria' plus I don't think ALL the islands necessarily would have to have a pandaren race living on them.
That being said, I agree with somebody here who said there probably won't be a new playable race - they already did that with Cataclysm - and we will likely get a hero class in the next expansion. Brewmaster actually doesn't sound like such a bad idea, but I'd kind of hope it would be something with a little more dignity. Monks and whatnot.
Still, I CAN see the next expansion (lvl85-90) being centered around exploring the islands of WoW because they've already started experimenting with underwater zones and obviously there probably would be some of these included in a project like this, too.

Actually the hero class WOULD have to be pirates in an expansion like this. I mean, c'mon!

A major fundraiser helping women and children escape domestic violence is a huge success. StarTran's annual "Stuff the Bus" campaign raises much needed money for Friendship Home. Organizers said Lincoln's generosity this past weekend goes a long way to help women all year.
Lincoln residents filled several buses with everything from diapers to cleaning supplies. "Stuff the Bus" organizers said the 14th annual fundraiser for Friendship Home raised $35,000 in cash and items. The proceeds will ensure women and their children escaping domestic violence have a safe and clean place to stay.
Sherry Ehrlich, a Friendship Home volunteer, said "Stuff the Bus" is a great time to raise awareness about Friendship Home. "When you have shelters that aren't publicly seen or known, it gives us a chance to interact with the community, so that they know what's going on at the friendship home since they can't come there and tour," Sherry said.
The fundraiser took place this past weekend. Volunteers were stationed at Walmart and Sam's Club with a list of Friendship Home needs. Shoppers bought items and stuffed them into the bus.
If you weren't able to make it out to help stuff the bus and would still like to contribute, it's not too late. You can call Friendship Home's development office at 402-434-0167.

Abiotic In Situ Technologies for Groundwater Remediation Conference (118 pp, 1.4 MB)
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Conference on Abiotic In Situ Technologies for Groundwater Remediation was held in Dallas, TX, August 31-September 2, 1999. The goal of the meeting was to disseminate current informaton on abiotic in situ groundwater treatment technologies. Although much information is being provided about biotic groundwater remediation approaches, less is known about abiotic processes. There is a recognized need to communicate current design and performance data, technical feasibility, implementation impediments, and cost information to regulators, decision makers, and other stakeholders who would benefit from this type of technology transfer.
The development of cost-effective in situ treatment technologies is a major priority for the EPA's Office of Research and Development, the National Risk Management Research Laboratory, and the Technology Information Office of EPA's Office of Solid Waste and Emergency Response. EPA is particularly interested in disseminating information to potential users of these technologies to promote more-effective application to sites that have, historically, been difficult to remediate.
The conference provided information on treatment technologies in the following areas:
- Permeable Reactive Subsurface Barriers (Treatment Walls)
- Thermal Enhancement Treatment
- VOC Stipping Treatment
- Chemical Oxidation Treatment
- Geotechnical Methods and Treatment
- Reactive Zones Treatment
- Technical Practices and Design Considerations
- Economic Considerations
This document includes conference presentations on these topics, as well as case studies. Presenters are listed on Page 109. These proceedings will be useful to environmental and regulatory personnel at the Federal, State, and local level; university professors, researchers and students; and private-sector personnel including industry representatives and environmental consultants.

From the bright lights of Los Angeles to the bluegrass of Louisville, Ky., lofts have become the choice places to live. And many of the 2006 MFE award winners are at the center of this architectural action, capitalizing on renters' and buyers' desire for urban-style living even in the heartland. These winners show us all how to build a loft of distinction–whether it be an inventive adaptive reuse project with exposed wood beams dating back to the early 1900s or new construction with soft-loft features such as oversized windows and open floor plans.
Credit: The Hanover Co.
Such lofty efforts weren't just limited to loft projects. All the winners you'll see here found imaginative ways to set their projects and initiatives apart from the competition. A handful of projects introduced new architectural features to their neighborhoods, such as Forest City Residential's 100, a high-rise winner that added a metal-and-glass façade to a predominantly all-brick neighborhood just outside Boston. And Cabrini First Hill Apartments, the senior housing winner, actually piloted a new financial formula to help develop extremely low-income housing in the high-cost Seattle market. How's that for a lofty ambition?
–Rachel Z. Azoff
High Design: 100
Drive across Boston's Charles River and you'll see a high-rise apartment building glimmering in the distance. With its steel-gray façade and angular shapes, the 18-story 100 brings a new dimension to the Cambridge landscape. The 203-unit luxury apartment community completes the build-out of University Park at MIT, Forest City Residential's 27-acre community in Cambridge, Mass., that features 2.3 million square feet of office, residential, and retail space.
Inside, the apartment community makes an equally impressive statement. Units offer three levels of finishes with options that include granite countertops, marbles bathroom finishes, European cabinetry, and stainless appliances and backsplashes. The property's high-end amenities include basics such as concierge services and a WiFi lounge to the more unusual indoor bicycle parking, private dining room with catering kitchen, and a small park. These amenities and finishes are designed to appeal to a group the developer has dubbed "city samplers," people who want their home to be a peaceful respite of green and quiet near an action-packed city. "They want to dip their toes into cosmopolitan life, but they don't want to give up some of the things they like best about living in the suburbs," says Paton. These lucky residents get it all.
New Neighbor: Prado on Lake Avenue
Pasadena, Calif.'s Lake Avenue is best known for its string of high-end shops. So, with limited residential options, the neighborhood offered a big opportunity to create high-end housing for renters willing to pay a premium to live in the center of the busy retail, office, and restaurant district. The Hanover Co., based in Houston, stepped up to the challenge with Prado on Lake Avenue, a 103-unit luxury apartment community replete with all the latest bells and whistles, plus 8,800 square feet of retail and 10,000 square feet of office space.
Prado on Lake Avenue also fits into the neighborhood aesthetically, borrowing nearby elements of classic, international style architecture. But one design feature stands out from all the rest: an intricate public art display that took a year and a half to create. The artists held a photo shoot with a large cross-section of city residents, and the images of 50 people are captured in a glass panel set into metal canopies that project out from the building. The subjects' shadows were then sandblasted in the sidewalk below–a lasting impression indeed.

Crown Jewel: Loft23
Loft23 sits in the middle of University Park at MIT, its copper patina and glass exterior and contemporary design setting it apart from the nearby traditional red-brick buildings and acres of green, manicured parks.
The 56,600-square-foot residential building, which offers 51 lofts, is one of the final buildings to be constructed by Forest City Residential as part of the 2.3 million-square-foot master planned development adjacent to the Massachusetts Institute of Technology campus.
Herring says Boston-based design firm DiMella Shaffer Associates suggested Revere copper as the building skin because copper is used as a decorative element on many brick buildings in Boston. "We thought it would be a great material to use for the entire structure," she explains, adding that the copper is found locally.
Despite its unique blue-green cladding, Loft23 relates well to the surrounding buildings, Herring says. "There's something really appealing about how totally and completely different it is sitting in this sea of brick buildings," she notes, adding that Forest City called on engineering specialists to ensure the copper cladding was waterproof.
By using copper cladding, Loft23 adheres to green building principles (the cladding was made of 95 percent recycled material). Moreover, the building, which has seven floor plans ranging from 770 square feet to 1,111 square feet, has a green roof that protects the roofing membrane, and meets the city's strict stormwater management requirements. "Loft23 is surrounded by taller buildings, and we wanted something nice for them to be able to look down on," Herring notes.
Loft23's interiors continue the edgy, industrial theme with open floor plans, polished concrete floors, 12-foot to 14-foot ceilings, floor-to-ceiling windows, granite countertops, stainless steel appliances, and wood cabinets stained a deep red color.
"Loft23 is stunning, and residents appreciate its special character," Herring says. They certainly do. As of September 2006, the property was 98 percent leased.

Survey Says: Loft-Right Lofts
Students have strong opinions and aren't afraid to be heard. That's what developer Smithfield Properties quickly learned as it began building Loft-Right Lofts, a modern, edgy loft-style complex for upperclassmen at Chicago's DePaul University. The developer, determined to gear the property to its target student renters, held a series of focus groups to decide on everything from the building's name to design elements and amenity options. Above all, students said they wanted housing close to campus that provided more of an "off-campus" independent living experience.
The land parcel's unusual dimensions of 125 feet by 456 feet, however, presented a significant challenge for the project team; Loft-Right Loft's length is equivalent to a 45-story building laid down on its side. To help break down the never-ending hallways, the Chicago office of Gensler, the project's interior designer, designed each unit entrance with its own wall covering and patterned carpet."The idea was to create a sense of destination for each room–your wall covering, your carpet, and your doorframe," says Bill Smith, principal of Smithfield Properties.
Loft-Right Lofts
Senior Showcase: Cabrini First Hill Apartments
Determined to build affordable senior housing in the high-cost Seattle market, the Low Income Housing Institute went where no other developers had gone before: It devised a unique financial formula combining HUD 202 funds and low-income housing tax credit equity. This untapped formula allows the non-profit organization to rent the units at the Cabrini First Hill project to residents who spend 30 percent of their income on rent. Plus, 20 percent of the units are set aside for the homeless and another 20 percent for the disabled. The project also has 7,000 square feet of commercial retail space.
"We leveraged sufficient capital resources to make a very high-quality senior housing development work, but without the HUD 202 rents, the projects wouldn't be affordable to extremely poor seniors," explains Sharon Lee, executive director of the Seattle-based Low Income Housing Institute. She expects the formula to serve as a national model for developers. "So far a lot of other projects across the country, and their sponsors have called us for help and advice." In addition to the HUD 202 grant and tax credit investments from Enterprise Community Investment, funding sources include the Washington State Housing Trust Fund, Federal Home Loan Bank, Bank of America, and Fannie Mae.
To help with residents' needs, an on-site resident services coordinator provides case management and referral services. Local service providers include the Catholic Community Services of Western Washington, Swedish Medical Center, and the social services agency Horizon House.

Beyond Barracks: Gateway Village
It's always sunny in San Diego–unless you are one of the thousands of servicemen and servicewomen seeking a decent and affordably priced place to live. San Diego is an expensive city, and much of the military housing in the area is antiquated and unsuited for the needs of today's families.
That's why the Department of the Navy tapped Clark Realty Capital to replace Gateway Village–a World War II-era military housing complex on 43 acres in San Diego's Point Loma neighborhood–with modern townhomes.
Designed by Silver Spring, Md.-based Torti Gallas and Partners, the new Gateway Village provides housing for 460 Navy and Marine families. It mixes Spanish Colonial and Mission-style architecture and is designed as a traditional neighborhood development with open landscaped areas, front porches on every unit, and "tot lots" that encourage pedestrian activities.
"These families need to interact and bond with each other when their loved ones are deployed," Schafstall says. "A community like this helps build strong support networks."
Because the Navy is concerned about "families living on top of other families," all units are two- or three-story townhomes with detached garages and private back yards. The units, which average 1,800 square feet, have an open floor plan with full-sized kitchens, either three or four bedrooms, and between 2.5 and 3.5 baths.
"Gateway Village offers the same finishes and amenities that you would expect in a for-sale market," Schafstall says, pointing out that all units boast solid-surface countertops, stainless steel sinks, high-speed Internet access, built-in computer desks, and walk-in closets.
Gateway Village has emerged as the premier military housing in San Diego; the project is fully leased, with a waiting list to move in.
Gateway Village
Useful Again: New Holland Apartments
Like many small towns, Danville, Ill., desperately needed good, affordable housing. That need was evident when the New Holland Apartments began taking resident applications: Nearly 250 families applied for the spots, even though the historic building has only 46 units.
Built in the early 1900s as upscale housing for retirees, the five-story New Holland Apartments is now owned and managed by Crosspoint Human Services, a local nonprofit that provides housing and other assistance.
The challenge: To create a design that allowed for historical preservation, energy conservation, and environmental remediation. Because New Holland Apartments is on the National Registry of Historic Places, the façade could not be changed, and all windows and brick had to be repaired and or replaced.
Crosspoint obtained funds from several different sources to pay for the $7.2 million renovation, says executive director Thomas Pollack. The project received $2.9 million in low-income housing tax credits from the Illinois Housing Development Authority, as well as a 30-year, 1 percent mortgage for $1.8 million; $211,000 in grants from the Illinois Clean Energy Community Foundation; $1.2 million of historic tax credits; and grants from several private foundations.
With the funds, Crosspoint was able to restore 75 percent of the original interiors and 90 percent of the exterior, Morse says. The building also hopes to achieve silver or gold LEED certification; it uses 50 percent less energy than similar buildings because of the 70 300-foot-deep geothermal wells located under the parking lot that provide all heating and cooling for the building.
"Not only were we able to restore a historic building to Danville, we were able to provide affordable housing to the community," Pollack says.

Artful Approach: Columbia Crest
Surrounded by landfills and rundown buildings, the Perry Homes public housing complex was one of the toughest neighborhoods in Atlanta. Today, the neighborhood has been revitalized through the development of a 500-acre master planned community called West Highlands, which offers a mix of rental units, senior housing, and single-family homes.
The 152-unit Columbia Crest, developed by Atlanta-based Columbia Residential, is the newest rental community to open in West Highlands. The property, along with the rest of the master-planned project, was funded by a $25.1 million HUD Hope VI grant, $53 million in tax-exempt bonds, and $350 million in private debt and equity.
Designed by James, Harwick + Partners, Columbia Crest's architecture complements the Arts and Crafts feel of the surrounding buildings–particularly Columbia Heritage, the senior housing project next door, says Ron Harwick, a vice president with the Dallas-based firm.
Harwick says addressing the street and the park across the street proved to be the most challenging aspect of the design. "We set the building back in different segments so it has a faceted façade that addresses the park very well," he explains.
With a cultured stone and stucco façade, varying building elevation heights and an interior courtyard, Columbia Crest is similar to typical market-rate complexes. It offers 5,536 square feet of ground-floor retail space, a swimming pool, and a parking structure with decorative panels so it looks like a residential building.
Columbia Crest
Quick Turnaround: Midtown Exchange Apartments and the Chicago Lofts
The mammoth, 1.2 million-square-foot historic Sears, Roebuck building–the largest building in Minneapolis–sat vacant for more than a decade as developers tried and failed to come up with a viable reuse for the structure. The eyesore towered over a neglected neighborhood in desperate need of new housing choices and job opportunities. This summer, the neighborhood's cry for help was answered: The derelict building was transformed into a mixed-use masterpiece featuring 88 loft and penthouse condo units, 219 rental units (including affordable units), the headquarters of Allina Health Systems, and a global food market.
In 2004 the city of Minneapolis, which had acquired the building, selected The Ryan Cos. to serve as the project's master developer and general contractor, who in turn chose Sherman Associates to develop the housing component. Thus began the mad dash to the finish line. Piecing together multiple sources and layers of public and private funds typically takes years to put together. But to meet the timeline of the office anchor, Sherman Associates was required to start construction Sept. 1, 2004, just five months after being selected as the housing developer. Therefore, the firm had to close on the majority of its portion of the project financing–$90 million–by Dec. 31 of that year. "We worked on it day and night," recalls George Sherman, president of Minneapolis-based Sherman Associates. "There were a couple of humorous times when people went home at 2 a.m. and came back at 7 a.m., looked at each other, and said, 'Why did we even bother to go home?'"
The long, often sleepless, nights paid off: The project has proved to be a powerful catalyst for the revitalization of the neighborhood, where home price values have risen by 300 percent to 400 percent.

All Aboard!: The Depot
Stunning views and a contemporary design that features attached garages and a train-shaped space make The Depot a popular place to live in downtown Fort Worth, Texas.
Developed by Dallas-based Carleton Residential Properties, the 210-unit Depot sits on six acres near an active rail line. "It's a great location near downtown, and the in-town cultural market has consistently been the strongest and the most consistent in the entire Dallas-Fort Worth metro area," says Printice Gary, managing partner of Carleton Residential Properties.
The Depot draws its name from the historic Cotton Belt Railroad Freight Depot, which now serves as the complex's leasing office. (The local historical preservation society had mandated that the depot building be preserved, along with certain elements of the vintage warehouses that also sat on the site, says Ron Harwick, vice president of James, Harwick + Partners, the Dallas-based firm that designed The Depot.)
The salvaged metal roof trusses were used as decorative elements on the buildings' brick and stucco façade. Recovered wood planking also serves as stairs in the loft units, and brick pavers circle the swimming pool and new building entries.
"We tried to take an eyesore and create something that would be well-received," Harwick says. "Making it look like a train and integrating the trusses and other materials into the design was very successful." The Depot was more than 90 percent occupied as of early September 2006.
The Depot
Retro Class: Union Square Condos
Going back to school has never been so hip. With the motto "Old School, New Cool," the marketing materials for Union Square Condos play up the building's unique history as Grand Rapids, Mich.'s Union High School, which operated from 1875 to 1968. "Once we chose the name Union Square, we knew that the school theme had to be a part of the project," says Brad Gruizinga, president of Union Square Condos, the project's developer.
And the developer pulled off the concept in eye-popping style, incorporating the school theme into all components of its marketing and advertising campaign with the help of a local advertising firm, Grey Matter Group. The most memorable piece: a sales brochure meticulously created to resemble a spiral school notebook.
"The overall strategy was to provide a memorable experience when you visited our offices and our models," says Gruizinga. "We wanted it to be an experience you would tell your friends about." The strategy worked: The company sold more than 85 percent of its 180 units in less than a year.
Union Square Condos
Group Effort: National Gables Day
Each October all Gables Residential associates are given a day off, but it's not to go Halloween costume shopping. It's for National Gables Day. Each corporate and on-site office is closed and employees–from company executives to on-site leasing and maintenance staff–work together on community service projects. "For many people, Gables Day is the favorite day of the year," says Sue Ansel, Gables' chief operating officer. "People feel so good about having the opportunity to give back to their community."
In the past, the company's regions have each tackled varying projects, such as beatifying public parks, repairing homes for the elderly, and supporting children's programs. But in 2005 the company united for one monumental cause: helping victims of Hurricanes Katrina and Rita. This focus was a natural fit for the company, as the concentration of its properties is along the country's Southern crescent, says David Fitch, president and CEO of the Atlanta-based apartment company.
Gables founded its annual community service day in 2000, and each year the firm contributes $100,000 toward the event –not to mention thousands of man-hours and the paid day off for associates." And to further strengthen the community service spirit, associates are strongly encouraged to be active in their own communities beyond Gables' formal volunteer activities, Ansel adds. The company has already begun planning activities for next October's big event.
National Gables Day
Marketing Made Easy: eMarketing
Camden Property Trust's corporate marketing department previously received more than 1,000 requests for unique marketing materials annually. But, after rolling out eMarketing, Camden's comprehensive, Web-based marketing solution, the company's marketing department today receives fewer than 25 unique requests annually.
"We're trying to get economies of scale with marketing, but the reality is that each community has its own particular marketing and advertising needs," says Trish Hoffman, vice president of marketing for the Houston-based apartment owner, manager, and developer. "Now, we're spending our time more wisely because we're leveraging the marketing campaigns that we already have."
Camden's eMarketing site includes a selection of fully integrated advertising and promotional materials, a shopping cart that enables online ordering, and customization of content specific to an apartment community or market.
"There are more similarities in marketing problems than you would think–either situations with vacancies in a particular style of apartment home or targeting a specific audience like students, families, or seniors," Hoffman notes.
Community managers can jump online, use the search function to find a campaign that supports their marketing problem, and order the different components that they need. "The templates are already in the system, and managers are just customizing them with their own text," Hoffman explains.
Then, the program's built-in workflow guides managers through ordering and the materials are sent to a corporate marketing manager for review. Orders are received within eight to 10 days; previously, they didn't ship for six weeks.
"With eMarketing, community managers no longer have to be in the creative business because they have a repository of campaigns that are on trend and represent our brand," Hoffman notes.

TEAMS: Michigan Wolverines
Is Michigan overrated or is Alabama just that good?
I guess the coming weeks will give us a more definitive answer but what was very clear tonight was Alabama being the far superior team in Arlington as they rolled in a 41-14 victory over Michigan.
The only real offense Michigan was able to muster was a 71 yard pass from Robinson to Jeremy Gallon which set up a six yard TD run for Denard. The disparity though between the two teams on both the offensive and defensive sides of the ball was really remarkable. It often times looked like a bunch of men playing against a bunch of boys while that gap between No. 2 and No. 8 in the preseason AP rankings looks to be huge.
In all fairness though to Robinson, Al Borges' game plan looked awful from the start as he tried to pick apart an Alabama defense that obviously made him pay. Hopefully he learned his lesson.

Descendants of John Johnson, son of Michael Johnson
of Goochland County, Virginia
By Bonnie Flythe
Feb. 29, 2004
© 2004
John Johnson, son of Michael and Sarah Watson Johnson, first appears as a neighbor in a patent by James Johnson in 1718 in a location that would become Goochland County. He was probably born before 1697 in New Kent or Henrico County. In 1719, he patented his own land:
Patent. July 12, 1718. By John Johnson for 400 acres, Henrico co. on north side of James River. Bounded by Chas. Eavens, on n. side & near head of Tuckahoe Creek, his own, James Johnson & Michael Johnson (Foley Vol. I55)
The wording of this patent indicates that John already owned some land. Perhaps it was the land given to him by his father-in-law, John Pledge. This land was later referred to in John Pledge's will.
John's father died about this time and along with his brother James, John submitted an inventory of Michael's estate to the court in Henrico County:
Aug. 22, 1719. Inventory of Michael Johnson. Value 63/9/6 by George Payne, William Hodges, Robert Adams. Presented by John & James Johnson and recorded 5 Oct. 1719. (Weisiger PI, 166)
His second land acquisition, in 1732, was for another 400 acres between Lickinghole and Byrd Creek further west in what had become Goochland County:
Patent. April 11, 1732. 400 acres to John Johnson land on north side of James River, on branches of Deep Creek of Lickinghole Creek and those of the E'most branch of Byrd Creek. Bounded by George Southerland's land, crossing Duncan's Branch to Tindal's land. (Foley, Vol. I, 88)
A Benjamin Johnson also patented 400 on Byrd Creek on the same day and date of John's patent. It is likely that Benjamin was John's brother. The next year, John acquired an additional 400 acres near Lickinghole and Byrd Creeks bordering the land he had previously purchased in that location.
Patent. Sept. 12, 1733. John Johnson... 400a. Goochland co. on the branches of the Lickinghole and branches of the Byrd; adj. Thomas Tindal, (his own) John Johnson; and on a branch of the Dunkan's Branch. Paid 40 shill. (Book 15, 119)
John Johnson's wife was Mary Pledge. He married her before 1720 probably in Henrico County. John Pledge's will was recorded March 6, 1720 in Henrico Co. (Weisiger Pt1, 167):
Will of John Pledge. To daughters Agnes Pledge, Martha Pledge, Judith, Anne Pledge and Mary, now wife of John Johnson, each, items, also to daughter Tabitha Pledge, items.
Wife to give what she can conveniently spare to my two grandchildren born of my daughter Elizabeth Strainge, dec'd, now living with me.
To son-in-law John Johnson, 100 acres to be taken off the upper side of land where I live, in consideration of his looking after my son John Pledge for life.
The rest of my land I live on, 200 acres, to my son William Pledge, but loving wife Dorothy to enjoy the plantation for life.
All the rest to wife, who is to be executrix
Dated 22 Nov. 1760
Wit: Mary Hutchens, Hester Childers, Tabitha Childers, Joseph Pleasants
Recorded 6 March 1720 (Weisiger, PI, 167)
Dorothy Pledge was living on Nov. 2, 1726 when she and William Pledge were witnesses to the Goochland County will of Thomas Carter (Weisiger,1736-1742, 19). Her maiden name is unknown.
John himself wrote his will on July 30, 1750 and died by the next February. He was at least 54 years old.
Will of John Johnson. July 30, 1750 Goochland Co.

Rec; Feb. 19, 1751. (DB# 6,121)
In leaving 50 acres to his brother Isaac, John indicated that his father did leave a will, but Michael Johnson's will has been lost. Stephen Benjamin Johnson was not called brother by John in his will and most likely he was the son of the Benjamin Johnson who died in 1744 leaving the widow Agnes.
Children of John and Mary Pledge Johnson
I. Daniel Johnson (bef. 1729-aft. 1764)
Daniel inherited 400 acres from his father, but did not live on it for very long. In 1754, he sold the 400 acres to James George.
Feb. 9, 1754. Daniel Johnson to James George, for 89 pounds, 400 acres on Lickinghole & Byrd Creeks. Bounded by William Webb, James George, Duncan's Branch, William Davis.... land "where Daniel Johnson now dwells" Wit: John I Bibey, Timothy Reach, Wm. Mann(?), Jr. Rec: May 21, 1754 (DB#6, 361).
Where he lived after this is not clear. He seems to be the Daniel Johnson who married Hannah Edwards about 1755. They were the parents of Martha (b. 1756), Jesse (b. 1759), Ann (b. 1761) and Thomas (b. 1764) according to the Douglas Register (Jones, 224).
In 1762, Daniel and Hannah sold 100 acres on Genetoe Creek to John Johnson.
Oct. 21, 1762. Daniel Johnson to John Johnson for 40 pounds, 100 acres Genetoe Creek. Bounded by Henry Gray, John Turner, & Samuel Richardson. Wit: Isum Johnson, Joseph Johnson, David Johnson, Bartholomew (X) Turner. Signed: Daniel Johnson, Hannah (H) Johnson. Rec. Nov. 16, 1762. Relinq dower. May 17, 1763 (DB#8, 304).
In 1758, this land had been purchased from the heirs of John Hix:
David Hix to Daniel Johnson for 30 pounds, 100 acres on Branches of Genetoe Creek. Bounded by Henry Turner, Samuel Richardson, & William Johnson's lines "being the land and plantation where John Hix formerly lived". Wit: Wm Miller, John Laprade, John Woodall, Willm. Woodall. Signed: David (his X Mark) Hix. Rec: Aug. 15, 1758 (DB#7, 315)
Daniel may have purchased a total of 200 acres or this second deed refers to the same tract of land, but affirms the sale by Elizabeth & William Hix to Daniel Johnson of their share of the inherited property.
April 18, 1759. Elizabeth Hix and William Hix to Daniel Johnson for 30 pounds, 100 acres on the branches of Genito Creek bounded by William Johnson, Samuel Richardson & Henry Turner being the land whereon John Hix formerly lived. Wit: William Miller, John Laprade, Samuel Perry & Miller Doggett. Rec: Dec. 18, 1759 (DB#8, 80)
John Hix had died in 1748. His will mentioned a grandson James Johnson Hix and Isaac Johnson was a witness. There was probably a relationship between the two families, but the specific nature of it is not known.
After 1764, Daniel & Hannah are untraced and are presumed to have moved away.

v 2. Jesse (July 23, 1759- )
v 3. Ann (Oct. 23, 1761- )
v 4. Thomas (June 15, 1764- )
II. John Johnson (bef. 1729-1781 Lun.Co., Va.)
John and his wife Ann sold their 400 acres on Little Byrd and Lickinghole Creek to James George in 1752.
Sept. 26, 1752. John Johnson to James George for 80 pounds, 400 acres on Little Byrd & Deep Creek of Lickinghole Creek. Bounded by George Sutherland, Duncan's Branch, Thos. Fendals, George Sutherland. Wit: Josias Payne, William Murry, Thomas Poor. Signed: John Johnson Rec: Sept. 26, 1752. Ann wife of sd. Johnson relinq right of dower (DB#6, 247)
They seem to vanish from the records of Goochland after that and may have moved to Lunenburg County with some other members of the Johnson family. In 1781, a John Johnson wrote a will there leaving a widow Ann. The will mentioned sons Jacob and John and the executor was Isaac Johnson, son of Michael and Sarah Johnson.
Children of John Johnson and Ann ____ Johnson
v 1. John. He is untraced here.
v 2. Jacob. He is untraced here.
III. Joseph Johnson (ca. 1720-1781)
He must have been born about 1720 or possibly earlier. He married Sarah Harris before 1757. His wife's ancestry is not known at this time. In that year, his daughter Ann was born, but his will indicates that he had older children. According to the Rev. Douglas, on Aug.13, 1760 his son David was born. Joanna was born Feb.19, 1765 and Thomas on Dec.2, 1767. The Rev. Douglas also mentions a funeral service for one of Joseph Johnson's children. The identity of the child is not known.
Joseph and Sarah may have moved to the western part of the county about 1763. That year, they sold the land Joseph inherited from his father John. Mary Pledge Johnson, John's widow & mother of Joseph relinquished her dower right. She obviously outlived her husband by many years.
Mar. 1, 1763. Joseph Johnson sells to John Guerrant, for 191 pounds "land whereon the sd Joseph Johnson now lives containing by estimation 200 acres... it being part of a tract of land granted by patent to John Johnson, Dec. & by him devised to ...... Joseph Johnson." Bounded by James Johnson, William Haws (?), John Johnson, Benj. Warkins, on Dover Mill Creek. Wit: Thomas Binford, Joseph Mason, William Hodges, David Johnson. Signed: Joseph Johnson. Rec. May 17, 1763. "Mary Johnson mother sd. Joseph & Sarah his wife" relinq dower (DB#8, 331)
In 1777, Joseph Johnson signed a deed of gift to his son John. This John is an older son of Joseph born before the Rev. Douglas began keeping the Register.
_________1777. Joseph ___________ to John Johnson so[n of the s]aid Joseph Johnson for the natural love he has for his son, John Johnson a tract of land containing about 100 acres bounded by Jacob Laine, Daniel Young, Rattlesnake Run, Joseph Jen_________. (deed continued page 7) Signed: Joseph Joh________ Wit. Abram Parish, James (+his mark) Martin, John ( ( his mark) Martin. Ackn & rec. Aug. 7, 1777 DB#1, pg. 4. (TLC, 1)
The deed is recorded in Fluvanna County. Rattlesnake Run, a branch of Bird Creek, was near the north east corner of the county.
Another land transaction occurred in 1778 when Joseph & Sarah sold 106 acres on Byrd Creek to Thomas Martin. This Thomas Martin may have been a relative by marriage.
Aug. 21, 1778. Joseph Johnson & Sarah his wife sell to Thomas Martin of Fluvanna co., for 190 pounds, 106 acres. Bounded by the Byrd Creek, John Johnson, Jacob Laine, John Gilbert, Turner Anderson, Samuel Richardson. Wit: Jos. Hayden, John Martin, John Gilbert. Signed: Joseph Johnson, Sarah Johnson. (DB#12, 178).
Joseph's undated will was probated on Nov.19, 1781 when he was probably in his sixties. His daughter Joannah is called Joannah Moss and, since she married Nathaniel Moss on Dec. 31, 1780, it is obvious that her father wrote his will after that date. The complete text is as follows:
In the name of God Amen. I Joseph Johnson being sick in body, bit in my perfect senses and sound Memory do make this my last will & testament
First, I bequeath my soul to God that gave it & my body to be buryed in a Christian like manner at the discretion of my Executors and as touching Such Estate as it has been please to God to ______ with in this life, I dispose of in manner following after my Just debts being first paid.
Viz. I lend to my beloved wife Sarah all my Estate both real and personal during her natural or second Marriage which may first happen to support and raise and Educate my young children on & at her decease
Item I give to my daughter Mary Cock five Shillings sterling
Item. I give to my son John Johnson five shillings sterling
Item. I likewise give to my Daughter Ann Haden five shillings Sterling
Item. I give my whole Estate both real & personal to my four youngest children Benjamin Johnson, Joannah Moss, & Thomas Johnson & Patsey Johnson to them & their Heirs forever after their Mother's decease or second marriage which may first happen to be equally divided amongst them. Except a horse colt and saddle which I singularly give to my son Thomas Johnson besides his equal part with my other three youngest Children . my desire is that none of my slaves should be sold but that my children may make out one amongst another with out selling them and if one of my four youngest Children should die without heirs my will and desire is that his her their parts shall be equally divided amongst them that are living of my four youngest children before mentioned, Benjamin, Joanah, Thomas & Patsey or such of them as may be living. I appoint William Price & my son Benjamin & my wife Sarah Executors to my last William & Testament
Signed and delivered in the presence of David Shelton, John Williamson, William Haley.
Signed: Joseph Johnson
At a Court held for Goochland County Nov. 19th, 1781. This writing was presented in court, proved by the oaths of John Williamson and William Haley to be the last Will and testament of Joseph Johnson dec. and ordered to be recorded. Then on the motion of Benjamin Johnson one of the executors herein named who made a _____________ with Peter Parrish and Barret Farrar his securities entered into bond conditioned as the law requites. Probate _____ was granted ___________. (DB#13, 152)
In 1782, the tax list in District #6 in the western part of the county shows a Sarah Johnson with three slaves, but no Joseph Johnson. No Josephs are listed until 1787 and that Joseph is described as "son of James".
The children of Joseph and Sarah Harris Johnson
v 1. Mary (ca. 1748- )
Benjamin Cock married Mary Johnson some time before 1769. On May 24 of that year, a daughter Ann was born to the couple. A Benjamin Cock was on the 1800 Goochland Co. Tax list, but this couple is untraced.
Ø 1. Ann (May 24, 1769- )
v 2. John (ca. 1750- )
John married Judith Martin probably in the 1770s. They had: David Harris Johnson on Dec.10, 1779 and Judith Martin Johnson on Jan. 27, 1782 according to the Douglas Register (Jones, 226). The mother of Judith Martin Johnson was listed as "Molly" Martin by the Rev. Douglas, but this is probably an error.
In 1783 in Fluvanna County, John and Judith Johnson sold the land given to John in the Fluvanna deed of gift signed in 1777 by his father.
Mar. 31, 1783. John Johnson & Judith his wife of Goochland Co. to John Gill for 200 specie, 100 acres of land on northern branches of Great Byrd Creek, being the land whereon sd. John Gill now lives, joining the land of Jacob Layne, Thomas Martin, Samuel Richardson and Alexander Toney. Signed: John Johnson, Judith (her + mark). Wit: William Barnard, Samuel Richardson, Joseph Haden, Gent. Rec.: Apr. 3, 1783 Fluv. DB#1, 449. (TLC, 48)
Also in 1783 in Goochland County, John and his wife sold what appears to be the remainder of their land:
Dec. 15, 1783. John Johnson & wife Judah to Charles Goodman for 60 pounds, 100 acres more or less on branches of Little Bird. Bounded by Daniel Grubb, William Anderson. Wit: John Dykes, jr., Abrame Parrish, John Grubb. Signed: John Johnson, Judah Johnson (DB#13, 259)
They may have been leaving the county and are untraced after this date
Children of John Johnson and Judith Martin Johnson
Ø 1. David Harris (Dec. 10, 1779- )
Ø 2. Judith Martin (Jan. 27, 1782- )
v 3. Ann (Nov. 21, 1757- )
She married William Haden in Goochland on Oct. 31. 1775. Both are described as being "of Albemarle". They moved to Logan County, Kentucky and have descendants there.
v 4. David (Apr. 13, 1760- )
v 5. Benjamin (b.bef. 1760- )
Benjamin may be the same person as the "David" mentioned by the Rev. Douglas in his Register. He was described as a younger child in his father's will, but was made an executor. Joseph probably did that in 1781 because his son Benjamin was of age. Therefore, he must have been born in 1760 or before. No son named Benjamin is listed in the Register and this leave some uncertainty.
Benjamin Johnson "son of Joseph Johnson" married Anna Norvell, daughter of James Norvell on Sept. 1, 1779 (Williams, 46). DNA testing has proven that a descendant of this man was a descendant of Michael Johnson.
v 6. Joannah (Feb. 19, 1765- )
Joannah married Nathaniel Moss on Dec.31, 1780 (Jones, 36) and they moved to Georgia.
v 7. Thomas (Dec. 2, 1767- )- Untraced here
v 8. Patsey (ca. 1770)
Martha married Daniel McCary on Dec. 25, 1792 with Thomas Martin as surety (Williams, 57).
IV. James Johnson (ca. 1725- )
He married Mildred Mims in 1751 (Jones, 28). James Johnson and Mildred Mims were the parents of Sarah (b.1755), Martha (b.1758), Mary (b. 1760), David (b. 1762), twins John and Benjamin (b.1764), Judith (b.1765), James (b.1767), and Nansy (b.1769) according to the Douglas Register (Jones, 225).
Several years after the father's demise, they sold James inheritance from his father John.
Jan. 4, 1757. James Johnson and Mildred his wife to William Harves (Harris?) And Tabitha his wife of Hanover Co. For 11 pounds, 200 acres "being part of a tract of land taken up by Michael Johnson grandfather of sd. James Johnson" Bounded by Tuckahoe Creek. Wit: Isaac Shepherd, Wm. Miller, John Hughes, James Tompkins, Wm Graves. Signed: James Johnson, Mildred Johnson Rec. Jan. 18, 1757. Mildred Johnson relinq dower right. (DB#7, 142)
Roughly a month later, James and Mildred purchased some acreage further west in the county on Lickinghole Creek.
Feb. 12, 1757. David Mims to James Johnson for 30 pounds, 58 acres on Lickinghole Creek. Bounded by Mim's Bridge, Edward Scruggs, Church Rd. Wit: John Smith, Thomas Mims, John Wright. Signed: David Mims. Rec. July 19, 1757 (DB#7, 182)
However, they sold that land a few years later.
May 21, 1762. James Johnson & Mildred his wife to Alexander Baine of Henrico county for 45 pounds, 58 acres. Bounded by Mims Bridge on Lickinghole Creek, Edward Scrugg's line, Church Rd. Wit: William Prosser, John Mims, Thos. Davenport. Signed: James Johnson, Mildred Johnson. Rec: Sept. 21, 1762 (DB#8, 298)
In Order Book #12 the February 1773 Court mentions a suit by Carter & Trent against "James Johnson (Lickinghole)". This was probably Mildred's husband, but that is not proven. The James Johnson who married Rachel Haden is consistently referred to as James Johnson, Jr. in the Court Order Books of the early 1770s. James Jr., son of James Johnson the Elder died before the August Court 1773 & further research would help distinguish the two men.
In 1784, a James Johnson was on the Personal Property Tax List for 1784 in District #4 which was on or near Lickinghole Creek In 1786, Dabney Wade was to pay the taxes of "James, est.?" It is difficult to be sure about the meaning of this, but in 1787 the only James listed in the Reconstructed Census in the west end of the county was "James (old)". By this time the term old might fit John's son James.
A James appears in the tax lists of 1789 &1790. In 1791, he was listed as "levy free" and in 1794 the entry was "James, David Johnson exempt". 1795 had "James paymt David Johnson" and 1796, 1797, & 1798 "James exmt". After 1798, James does not appear in the tax lists of the upper district (Personal Property Tax List, 1782-1809).
It seems that James, son of John may have been disabled & that his son David took some responsibility for handling his father's affairs. Further research would clarify this. James and Mildred Johnson have not been definitively traced after 1769.

How much will it cost me to participate in the Hubbard Program?
Hubbard Fellows receive a stipend for living expenses and groceries, and a free room. Transportation to the grocery store will also be provided. Since this is an intensive program, Fellows must be available full time throughout the program and the stipend is intended to enable full-time study.
Can I get an application fee waiver?
There are limited funds available to cover fee waivers, which will be determined by need. Generally, if a student has qualified for and received a Pell Grant—and can document the financial aid award—he or she is eligible for a fee waiver. Documentation of a financial aid award is required. Please contact email@example.com for more information.
How do I make my travel arrangements?
Fellows will need to make their own travel arrangements, but transportation from the airport to campus will be provided. All participants should report to the residence hall on Monday, June 3, 2013, and should plan to return home on Friday, June 28, 2013.
There are very limited funds available to defray travel expenses, and awards will be determined by need. If you are accepted into the Hubbard program and wish to apply for travel assistance, please send a short statement describing your need to firstname.lastname@example.com by April 5, 2013. We also require that you submit documentation to show your need.
I participated in a pre-law program in the past. Am I eligible to participate in this program?
Yes, if you have participated in a summer pre-law program or a PLUS program before, you can participate in this program.
How much time will I spend in classes?
The Hubbard Program is intended to be a full-time commitment. By agreeing to participate in the program, you agree that you will neither be employed nor have any other commitments that would prevent you from giving the program your full attention.
The program runs from Tuesday, June 4 through Thursday, June 27, 2013. Hubbard Fellows must agree to participate in all scheduled activities for the entire four-week period. Classes will be conducted Monday through Friday from 9 a.m. to approximately 4:30 p.m. Please be aware that some programming will be scheduled during evenings and weekends.
What classes will I take and what will I learn?
Summer 2013 substantive course: Introduction to Contracts
This mini-course will serve as an introduction to the study of contract law. We begin with an overview of the law of contracts—the types of promises that are legally enforceable, and more particularly, why those promises (and not others) are enforceable, which raises questions we will need to consider about the theoretical underpinnings and practical justifications for our system of contract law. The course then proceeds, as an actual first-year law school Contracts course might, to contract formation and the mechanics of offer and acceptance. This is the heart of the course, where you will learn how to brief cases and prepare to present them in class, where, under the Socratic method many law professors use in teaching first-year courses, you will be called on to answer questions about the cases and the principles of contract law to be gleaned from them. Finally, at the end of the course, we will talk about law school exams and how to prepare for them, and there will be an exam, which will be graded and discussed in class.
Who will be teaching me?
College of Law Faculty and Staff
Where will I live while participating in the Hubbard program?
Housing has been arranged in the Mayflower Residence Hall on the University of Iowa campus. Mayflower rooms are arranged in suites of two rooms connected by a shared kitchen and bathroom. There will be four people assigned to each suite (two per bedroom).
Parking is available at Mayflower Hall on a first-come, first-serve basis.
Mayflower is not far from the law school, where classes will be conducted. Students participating will also have access to many of Iowa's facilities, including lounge and study areas.
Do I have to live in the residence hall?
Yes. To build a sense of community among students in the Hubbard Program, we expect that all program participants live together in the residence hall. If you already live in Iowa City, and living in the residence hall would impose a serious burden, you should contact us at email@example.com. Any participant granted permission to live outside of the residence hall will be required to participate in scheduled activities, including those that take place in the residence hall.
How will I get to the law school?
The Mayflower Residence Hall is a scenic 20-25 minute walk from the College of Law. A free campus bus is also available. There is VERY LIMITED parking available near the law school for a fee.
What type of clothing should I bring?
Iowa City is known for its beautiful, but hot summers. The weather in the Midwest can be unpredictable. In addition to the usual clothing for hot summer days, you should expect some cool days and evenings. The typical range in June is 60-85 degrees. The classroom might also be cooler due to the air conditioning. Iowa summers can be rainy, so be sure to bring an umbrella.
You can dress casually for class, but you should bring at least one or two outfit(s) suitable for business occasions.
What will we do for fun?
Iowa City is a great college town. It has been consistently ranked as one the top small towns in America, and top five college towns. You will have plenty of time to do things with your new friends.
Will this program get me into law school?
No. There will be sessions that inform Hubbard Fellows about the application process and choosing a law school. Students must be admitted into a law school based on their own merits.
Will this program prepare me for the LSAT?
Students should note that the Hubbard Program is NOT intended to serve as an LSAT preparation course. The goals of the program are to introduce fellows to the legal profession, to assist them with analytic and logical reasoning skills, to enhance problem-solving skills, to develop critical reading skills, to promote active listening, and to facilitate advocacy.
How many Hubbard Fellows are chosen?
How are Hubbard Fellows selected? Is there a minimum required GPA or SAT/ACT score?
No. We evaluate each file to ultimately arrive at a diverse group of students. Each applicant is evaluated based on his/her personal statement, transcript and GPA, letter of recommendation, and standardized test scores.
When can I apply?
Now! Must be postmarked by March 22, 2013.
Who is eligible to participate in the program?
College students enrolled at two- and four-year institutions, in all majors and from all backgrounds, are invited to apply. Students cannot already have a bachelor's degree when participating in the program.

I received a sample before it hit stores from Crowdtap. (Awesome site) We LOVED it in my house. It is smooth and creamy, quite different from what is on the market right now. It has a much smoother, lighter texture than similar type products or say peanut butter. If you love chocolate, you will most likely love this new Hershey's spread. It comes in a couple of varieties, I received the chocolate and almond kind. It went well with so many things, can go on fruits, crackers, sandwiches, with various other toppings or by itself, and so many more. Get creative if you want, or just eat it by the spoonful. Its up to you!
