Bill Mallonee - Amber Waves
My personal favorite is a song called "Faith (Comes Soaked in Gasoline". It was influenced by Steinbeck's "Grapes of Wrath". His portrait is of the discrimination and degradation felt by the residents of depression era Hoovervilles. Not constrained by time, those analogies are just as relevant today. Loss is a central theme on "Amber Waves". In the song "Long Since Gone" he says, "In a sea of progress history doubles back to shake hands with you. When you've got nothing to trade on...you've got nothing left to lose".
Though not as heralded, Mallonee's songwriting is on the level with Dylan or Springsteen. The lyrics on "Amber Waves" strike the soul. The musical arrangements are for the most part Americana. Although he does employ a Mellotron, which is something you don't hear very often. He does not lose sight of the fact that a listener wants a good melody as well as impactful lyrics. After all, it may be the lyrics that give a song meaning, but the tune is what keeps it in your mind. In short, good tunes accompany the message, and the combination of the two is what makes "Amber Waves" so special.

Kris Kristofferson - New Album
Kris Kristofferson will be releasing his first album in 4 years. "Feeling Mortal" is garnering a lot of advance buzz. Combine the aforementioned praise with the simple fact that it is Kris Kristofferson receiving it, it will likely be worth buying without sampling.

AWT - Best of 2012
As it seems to be the case every year, there was way too much good music produced in 2012. I try hard to keep up with new releases, but it is often at the expense of time that would otherwise be spent on my favorites. However, for the purpose of "cussing and discussing" here is my attempt to rank my favorite albums of 2012:
1. Chris Knight - Little Victories: This may be a bit of a surprise, but this album really meant something to me. There is an honest and heartfelt message of perseverance and hope. His message of survival in hard times derives from his roots. Plus he calls Little Debbies groceries, and that puts "Little Victories" over the top.
2. The Lumineers - Self-Titled: The way they took the musical world by storm is really amazing. Hype usually turns me off. In this case I am glad to see that a group that can put together a body of excellent songs can get this much notice.
3. Mindy Smith - Self-Titled: A brilliant singer-songwriter released what is perhaps the best album of her career. Her lyrics are moving and profound, but it is her rich vocals and passion give life to her words.
4: Sons of Bill - Sirens: The song "Santa Anna Winds" hooked me on my first listen. Every song after that kept me listening. A true Americana Rock masterpiece. The Sons of Bill have an almost universal appeal.
5.Alabama Shakes - Boys and Girls: I could almost say "See The Lumineers above". The Shakes also came out of nowhere to receive a lot of fan fare. They recorded in and hail from the Muscle Shoals area, and the geographic influence shines forth. Their music is both Southern and Soulful, with a balanced mix of tempo.
6. Buddy Miller and Jim Lauderdale - Buddy and Jim: These old friends should have recorded together a long time ago. Let's hope there is more to come.
7. Mumford and Sons - Babel: They set the bar high on their previous released. On this release, they raised it. I can't wait to see what they do next.
8. Tift Merrit - Travelling Alone: "Bramble Rose" and "Another Country" are two of my favorite female Singer-Songwriter albums. She may have beat them both this time around.
9. Shovels and Rope - O be Joyful: I was joyful from the first listen. Every song is excellent. They take traditional Americana and make it feel like Rock.
10. Corb Lund - Cabin Fever: Pure Country from rural Canada. The duet with Hays Carll, "Bible on the Dash", and "Gothest Girl I Can" are also the two funniest songs of the year
The next Ten:
11. Steep Canyon Rangers - Nobody Knows You
12. Wrinkle Neck Mules - Apprentice to Ghosts
13. The Avett Brothers - The Carpenter
14. Jack White - Blunderbuss
15. Justin Townes Earle - Nothing's gonna change the way
16. Bruce Springsteen - Wrecking Ball
17. Dr. Dog - Be the Void
18. Old Crow Medicine Show - Carry Me Back
19. Ryan Bingham - Tommorrowland
20. Whispering Pines - Self-Titled

By Karen-Lee Pollak June 14, 2017, 8:12 PM EDTLaw360, New York (June 14, 2017, 8:12 PM EDT) -- As part of President Trump's massive deportation plan, several anti-immigration bills have recently come before the U.S. House of Representatives that focus on immigration enforcement. On May 24, 2017, the House Judiciary Committee passed three bills — the "Michael Davis, Jr. and Danny Oliver in Honor of State and Local Law Enforcement Act" (the Davis Act), H.R. 2406, and H.R. 2407. And on the evening of June 7, 2017, the House passed The Anti-Border Corruption Reauthorization Act (H.R. 2213). These four bills create an unprecedented expansion of...

History (HIST)
English (United States)
In past study of the Tudor period, the role of aristocratic women has either been overlooked or has not been fully explored. Aristocratic women of this period were actively involved in complex and far-reaching networks that they deployed throughout their daily lives and in times of particular crisis. This thesis will also look at how Margaret Tudor's unique case highlights the robust networks women formed in every strand of society. By exploring the ways in which these women formed connections and utilized links, the roles Tudor aristocratic women inhabited will become more clear.

TUSCUMBIA, Mo. (AP) - Investigators in Miller County say human remains found in woods last month belonged to a man reported missing more than four years ago.
The sheriff's department said in a statement on Wednesday that dental records helped confirm the remains were Ricky Wierman, 54, who had been living in the woods.
The sheriff's office says, while a cause of death hasn't been determined, there's no immediate indication that foul play was involved.
Wierman was reported missing in July 2012.
The University of Missouri's anthropology department assisted in the identification effort.

- What would life be like in the North Korean economy?
- How would things be different in the economy of Chad?
- In this lesson, you will have the opportunity to compare these two economies to the U.S. economy, and you'll practice using some tools that can help you to study any economy in the world.
- Task
- In this lesson you will define market economies, command economies, and developing economies. You will also compare one country with another by reference to factors associated with economic performance.
- Process
- First we need to take a moment to look at how economists categorize economies. A market economy is characterized by private ownership of the means of production (for example, farms and factories), and supply and demand are responsible for the price and allocation decisions. The United States, Hong Kong, and Germany are considered market economies. A command economy is characterized by government (or central) control ownership of the means of production, and with a central authority setting prices of goods and services and for most allocation decisions. North Korea and Cuba are command, or more specifically communist, economies. A developing economy is one which is not yet industrialized, but is developing. Chad, Ecuador, and Bangladesh are considered developing nations.
- In this lesson, you will compare several aspects of the economies of the United States (representing a market economy), North Korea (representing a command economy), and Chad (representing a developing economy). Post assignment in Canvas - Unit 5-4. Due at the end of class.

(Supply and Demand)
This lesson is designed to review the three types of productive resources-natural resources, human resources, and capital resources-needed to produce goods and services. Students will use the internet to identify examples of each - first in the production of pizza, then the mining of gold during the California gold rush.
Key Concepts: Demand , Natural Resources , Shortage , Supply , Surplus
Students Will (Students should be able to respond to items below after completing activities.)
- Identify productive resources as natural resources, human resources, and capital resources.
- Explain the laws of supply and of demand.
- Explain how a market clearing price is established.
- Define surplus and shortage.
Every day bread arrives at grocery stores, toys are sent to toy stores, and raw materials are delivered at manufacturing facilities. Yet students have little understanding of how people decide how much of a good or service should be produced and at what price. In this lesson students review the productive resources used to produce goods and services, and they learn how decisions are made in a market economy through the interactions of buyers and sellers. With an understanding of how markets work, students will be better prepared to make decisions both as consumers and producers.
- The Art of Pizza: Provides information on an Italian pizza company. Students will use this article to answer questions on human, natural, and capital resources.
- Activity 1: This is a worksheet students will complete on the demand schedule for slices of pizza.
Activity 1
- Levi Strauss: A short Biography: The Levi company website provides information on the creator of Levi Jeans.
- New Perspectives on The West: Levi Strauss: Information provided by PBS on the creator of blue jeans Levi Strauss.
- www.pbs.org/weta/thewest/people/s_z/strauss.htm
- Blue Jeans: Provides a history of the blue jean. www.ideafinder.com/history/inventions/bluejeans.htm
- Mining for Gold: Provides information on the resources needed and used to mine gold. www.kidport.com/RefLib/UsaHistory/CalGoldRush/MiningGold.htm
- Levi Strauss: A short Biography: The Levi company website provides information on the creator of Levi Jeans.
- Activity 2: Students will use this worksheet to create their own graph of the market schedule for blue jeans.
Activity 2
- Activity 3: Students will complete this worksheet on economic concepts taught in this lesson.
Activity 3
Part I:
Many things are needed to make a good or a service. These things are called productive resources.
Productive resources include human resources, natural resources, and capital resources.
- Define human resources as the workers.
- Define natural resources as things that come from nature and are unchanged by human hands. Think of examples of natural resources. [Water, air, trees, minerals, animals]
- Define capital resources as man-made tools and equipment used to produce a product. Think of examples of capital resources.[Factories, equipment, and tools such as hammers, saws, and computers]
Students will read the art of pizza article. Students will use MS Word to record their responses. They will use this site to find the following:
- An example o.f a human resource in the first paragraph. [Baker]
- An example of a natural resource in the fourth or sixth paragraph.[Herbs, tomatoes, garlic, onion]
- An example of capital resources in the fourth paragraph. [Mixers, oven]
Part II:
Pizza is a very popular food. Americans eat 350 slices every second and consume 100 acres of pizza daily.
You will have $10 to spend. You will not have to spend the whole $10, but cannot spend more than $10. Think about how many slices of pizza you would be willing and able to buy at each of the following prices. Write the number of slices you would be willing and able to buy at each price in the chart.
You should have completed a copy of Activity 1. You are to ask three of your friends how many slices of cheese pizza they would be willing and able to buy at each of the various prices, if they had an extra $10 to spend.
After completed Activity 1, transfer the information to the Demand Schedule for Cheese Pizza. The table should show amounts for each student - how much each is willing and able to buy. Students should add how many slices their three friends are willing and able to buy at each price and determine the total amount demanded at each price and record it under the column labeled total.
Part III:
Students are going to apply what they have learned to blue jeans.
To learn more about the gold rush and blue jeans, students will use these these sites:
Inform the students that mining for gold required many productive resources. To find some of the resources used, students should access the Mining for Gold site.
- Students will look at the picture and find an example of each type of productive resource-natural, human, and capital.
- During the Gold Rush, Levi Strauss made durable pants for the miners out of canvas. Later he made the pants from a heavy blue denim called genes in France, which became "jeans" in America. Even today, consumers love to wear jeans.
Online Activities
- To review, instruct students to complete Activity 3.

Covey Habit#4 Think Win-Win - Win-win sees life as a cooperative arena, not a competitive one. Win-win is a frame of mind and heart that constantly seeks mutual benefit in all human interactions. Win-win means agreements or solutions are mutually beneficial and satisfying. We both get to eat the pie, and it tastes pretty darn good!
Thinking on the Real World
- What's wrong with our economy and how can we fix it?
- What kind of world is likely, if we take no deliberate action?
- What kind of world do we want?
- What kind of world is possible, if we act effectively?
Things to Consider:
- Informed and voluntary exchange is a win/win situation for the traders.
- Domestic and international trade, money, foreign exchange
- How Markets work when they are in competition, incentives, information, and property rights exist.
- Supply, demand, relative scarcity, relative prices, entrepreneurs, profit competition, and market failures
Activity 1- Due at the end of class
Project - The Colonial Economy from 1600-1750
England's policy of mercantilism deprived colonial landowners of opportunities to purchase luxury goods. Only bare necessities seemed to make it to the colonies. This lesson will introduce students to the types of goods that were available for purchase at a typical colonial store. Students will complete this project in sections: activity 1 - 4 to be compiled for their presentation to the class and to the school. Save/post all assignments in your folder Unit 5 on your desktop.
Economic Principles:
Analysis Skills
Chronological and Spatial Thinking:
- (-20 pt.) Use complete sentences. Check your grammar and spelling. One page minimum. Your name should be at the top right corner, your topic (Market to Market) - centered. Each paragraph should include at least five sentences.
Use MS Word to complete the responses to the prompt below.
- Students will place key events and people of the historical era they are studying in a chronological sequence and within a spatial context; they interpret/create time lines (20% of grade).
- Students will explain how the present is connected to the past (20% of grade), identifying both similarities and differences between the two, and how some things change over time and some things stay the same.
- Students will judge the significance of the relative location of a place (e.g., proximity to a harbor, on trade routes) and analyze how relative advantages or disadvantages can change over time (20% of grade).
- Students will use the link below to begin / complete their project
Things to consider
Check your pockets, how much money do you have? What coins or paper money (dollars) do you have? Do you get an allowance? If you do, how much do you get? The last time you went shopping how much did you spend?
Activity 2 - Due at the end of class
- belief in the benefits of profitable trading; commercialism.
- historical
the economic theory that trade generates wealth and is stimulated by the accumulation of profitable balances, which a government should encourage by means of protectionism.
- historical
Eighteenth Century Shopping
Colonial Market Place (Main Street / Town Square)
- Students will create a Virtual Museum based on a colonial market place.
- Students will research and create the merchants shops that they think might be found in a colonial town between 1700 and 1775.
- Once they have decided on the types of shops, they will create the products that might be found in their shops and how to make them.
- The following are some crafts/products options below:
- The majority of these crafts can be found in COLONIAL AMERICA COOPERATIVE LEARNING ACTIVITIES and FELICITY books by American Girl.
- Projects Amer1700
- Trade - Market to Market

British Battleships 1919-1945 Hardback
by R. A. Burt
This superb reference book achieved the status of 'classic' soon after its first publication in 1993; it was soon out of print and is now one of the most sought-after naval reference books.And with good reason.
Offering an unprecedented range of descriptive and illustrative detail, the author describes the evolution of the battleship classes through all their modifications and refits.
As well as dealing with design features, armour, machinery and power plants and weaponry, he also examines the performance of the ships in battle and analyses their successes and failures; and as well as covering all the RN's battleships and battlecruisers, he also looks in detail at the aircraft carrier conversions of the WWI battlecruisers Furious, Glorious and Courageous.British Battleships 1919-1939 is a masterpiece of research and the comprehensive text is accompanied by tabular detail and certainly the finest collection of photographs and line drawings ever offered in such a book.
For this new edition the author has added some 75 new photographs, many of them having never appeared in print before, and the book has been completely redesigned to fully exploit the superb photo collection.A delight for the historian, enthusiast and ship modeller, it is a volume that is already regarded as an essential reference work for this most significant era in naval history and ship design.
- Format: Hardback
- Pages: 448 pages, More than 300 b/w photos & 325 line illustrations

Lions Gate is really on the animation kick. For those not familiar with them, they are a movie company that has their hands in all sorts of film related businesses. Probably most known for their distribution arm, they are responsible for putting out mid to low budget films. ...continued...
Take for instance "Food Fight". This is an animated film being put together by Threshold. I'm sure you've heard of this movie, it is the one that takes place in a grocery store and uses an unbelievable amount of product placement. So much in fact, that I'm not sure I will even be able to watch the thing. After all, I often grit my teeth when watching a movie and the main character drinks a can of Coke, or the camera discreetly focuses on the Mercedes logo before the hero jumps in and speeds off. Think of an animated film with hundreds of product placements as the main characters! bleh.
Speaking of Food Fight, this film has been in production for what seems like forever. I'm not sure what is going on over there. Between them and Delgo, the two movies have been in production for what seems longer than most of us have been alive.
Back to Lions Gate. Looks like they are getting ready for another CG film. The information is confusing. I'm not sure if Threshold is going to do this film, or Lions Gate is doing it (if anyone knows, please chime in). The script is from the 1969 children's book "Sylvester and the Magic Pebble". Is anyone keeping track of all of these movies?! Time to add another one. It will be called "Sylvester".

On Tuesday I shared with you a layout that I made using the Imaginisce "Hello Cupcake" collection, today I have a card to share with you using the same line, this card is also a project that I designed for Cord Scrapbook Studio as well.
I used the 6x6 paper pad to create this card, as I mentioned on Tuesday as well, the 6x6 papers are great (especially for cards) because of the tighter patterns. I also love them because it is so easy to create multiple cards and not have a ton of paper left over that you are not sure what to do with.
Material List:
*6x6 paper pad
*Cardstock: Kraft
*Sticker Stackers
*Cats eye ink: Chesnut

Hirose's DF58 series connectors are an ultra-low-profile wire-to-board power connector that enables the continued miniaturization of consumer and portable electronic devices. With a pitch of only 1.2 mm and a stacking height of only 1.0 mm, the DF58 series connector presents the industry's lowest profile when used with 28 AWG wire. The DF58 series supports higher currents of up to 3.0 A, making it ideal for a wide range of applications.
The DF58 series power connector features a Vertical-insertion / Swing-extraction (ViSe) lock that provides a robust and reliable connection. The ViSe lock combines a positive lock mechanism that produces a high retention force to prevent cable removal with a friction lock that prevents connector floating when mated. The double-lock design ensures rugged performance for devices that are often exposed to high vibration, shaking, or rattling.
The DF58 has a two-point clipping contact design that optimizes the contact force. This lowers contact resistance and reduces temperature rise, further reducing component degradation, and has a rated voltage of 100 V AC/DC and an operating temperature of -55°C to +85°C.

Vodka is the most consumed alcoholic drink in the world. Perhaps because of its neutral character that blends seamlessly with juices and soft drinks.
Born in the Middle Ages, and its origin is not clear, I will dispute Poland and Russia. Nowadays very balanced and high quality in many other countries vodkas are produced. With the exception of trace amounts of spices, the vodka is composed solely of water and ethanol. Is generally produced through the fermentation of grains and other starch-rich plants, such as rye, wheat or potato.
Although in their home countries is consumed alone, in a frosted glass, and always a drink, in the rest of the world consumption dominates so famous cocktails like Screwdriver (Screwdriver), the Vodkatini the Caipiroska and the celebrated and restorative Bloody Mary.
These are some of the most rare and special vodkas which can be found in the international market.
Diva Vodka
Scottish exclusivity. It is considered the world's most expensive vodka. Diva Vodka is produced in the Blackwood Distillery in Scotland and its manufacturing process is triple distilled. In the first phase, the vodka is filtered ice, the second is filtered with charcoal Nordic birch, and the third phase is filtered through a fine sand of diamonds and gems.
The luxurious and artistic container Diva Premium Vodka determines the final price, since each bottle design incorporates thin and delicate gemstones from topazes and rubies to emeralds and diamonds.
Legend of Kremlin Vodka
Russian tradition. Vodka Legend of Kremlin is born in Russia. It is produced from specially selected, artesian well water located in the same distillery grains and natural ingredients. It is made entirely by hand and is distilled five times. Its production is limited, and those who tested highlight its refined flavor and aroma.
So far, this vodka has received eleven major awards and nine gold medals in major international competitions. The bottle design is reminiscent of the traditional vodka bottles nineteenth century. Its peculiarity is that it is a kosher vodka.
Belvedere Vodka
Polish character. Belvedere is the first super premium vodka in the world and represents the pinnacle of the Polish vodka tradition. Using only the finest grain is distilled by hand to create the perfect balance of character and purity. Belvedere Vodka is the true expression of luxury vodka. Completely free of additives, diluted with water from artesian distillery itself. Belvedere combines over 600 years of experience in the production of vodka with an unwavering commitment to quality.
This is a vodka with own attributes that generate a host of subtle sensations: a light vanilla flavor, sweetness with a smooth rye flavor and a nice creamy mouthfeel. It has a smooth, clean finish.
Ciroc Vodka
French savoir-faire. Ciroc is a vodka that could be labeled as unusual and extravagant. Is it made from French grapes instead of potatoes, rye, wheat or corn, which are the ingredients commonly used in the traditional vodka. The juice is squeezed from the grapes and then cold fermented and distilled. This vodka has a distinctly different flavor and aroma typical vodka, as to be made with grapes projecting an intense fruity flavor. The Ciroc vodka comes in a bottle of fine, highly stylized elongated form, with the image of a grape and the French national symbol, a rooster.
Studer Classic Vodka
Swiss efficiency. A vodka of extraordinary quality Studer Swiss Classic only be manufactured using the best preparation for grains and purest water in the Alps. The traditional recipe for this sublime vodka is secret and has more than 120 years. The best wheat is distilled three times by skilled craftsmen who use this water to the Alps. The resulting nectar rests in oak barrels until the right time for bottling. The Studer Swiss Classic comes in a beautiful spherical glass container that holds within it a representation of Mount Matterhorn, iconic emblem of the Swiss Alps.

Kick it up a notch.
Tailored to competitive riders, the Mavic Women's Ksyrium Elite Jersey maximizes comfort during intense racing events and rigorous training rides. Its ergonomic cut follows the body's contours to eliminate irritation, but without being overly tight and restrictive. The mainstay of the jersey consists of Wick Matrix, which pulls moisture off your body for rapid evaporation. Ultimately, this leaves you cool and comfortable, even when you're sweating profusely on the road. Further contributing to its cool-wearing sensation, Air Mesh side panels ventilate areas prone to perspiration build-up.
Smooth flatlock seams won't chafe sensitive skin, allowing you to ride for hours on end without succumbing to irritation. Reflective highlights boost overall visibility to passing vehicles after dark. Plus, there's a standard three pocket configuration along the backside with an additional zippered compartment for separating daily essentials, such as cash and keys. All four of these pockets feature uni-directional mesh, which prevents fully loaded pockets from awkwardly sagging.
- Reviews
Great slim fit, visible color
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
- Fit: True to size
- Size Bought: Medium
The fit is perfect for me. Sleeves don't gap and fit around the waist is just right. I like the additional zip pocket in the back. I've received several compliments on the fit. However, I noticed I have a small snag, so fabric durability might be an issue.
pretty good
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
- Fit: True to size
- Size Bought: Medium
Ordered this jersey in a medium, moreea blue color which is more of a green, almost teal. It fits pretty well, quite snug as a jersey should but I have enough stretch across the shoulders that its comfy. Roomy back pockets and a full zipper are awesome, with a little zipper bonus pocket in the back. It has a flattering cut and design without being too girly. Seemingly not my go-to jersey but still good.

Throughout this grand design of things you'll get an A+ just for effort. Where you misplaced me personally ended up being in your particulars. You know, people say, the devil is in the details… And that couldn't be much more correct right here. Having said that, allow me say to you just what did work. The article (parts of it) can be extremely persuasive which is most likely the reason why I am making the effort to opine. I do not really make it a regular habit of doing that. Next, although I can certainly see a jumps in logic you come up with, I am not really sure of just how you seem to unite the ideas which inturn make the conclusion. For now I shall yield to your point however hope in the foreseeable future you connect the facts better.

To James Madison from James Maury, 14 September 1802
From James Maury, 14 September 1802
Liverpool 14th. Septemr. 1802
I have the Honor of your letter of 17th. June & will make application in the manner you have been so obliging as to point out.
Wishing much to have you furnished with the particulars of Imports & Exports as your circular of 1st. Augt. 1801, I applied to the Person who has the exclusive privilege of granting such information from this Custom House. He informed me it would so entirely occupy the time of one Clerk that he could not undertake it for less than sixty Pounds annum. I did not consider myself warranted to pay such a sum for it, & therefore have made it out in the best manner, I could from such documents as I could obtain, & now have the Honor to inclose you a statement of them for the last six Months ending 30th. last June. I have not the means of distinguishing those in ours, from those in foreign, vessels. However the imports in the latte⟨r⟩ have been very inconsiderable & the exports a mere trifle. The number of our vessels cleared out from this port during the aforementioned period ⟨has⟩ been one hundred & one. Indeed they still possess so decided a preference for conveying the produce of this country to ours that it may be sa⟨id⟩ we monopolize that branch of the carrying trade.
I enclose an act of Parliament passed near the close of the last session, of which I was not apprized until very lately By it the permission of importing in American vessels certain articles not the produce of the U.S.A. to be warehoused for exportation, is continued until January 1804. But it is important to the Merchants to know that Cotton not the produce of the U.S.A. can no longer be admitted in our vessels for home consumption as it was during the late war. With Perfect Respect I have the Honor to be Sir Your most Obedient Servant
James Maury
The preceding is the full transcription of a document that was previously abstracted in The Papers of James Madison, Secretary of State series. The original abstract contains additional annotation and source information.

It's Friday! We hope everyone is staying safe and out of harms way of Hurricane Isaac. Here are ways you can help and stay prepared for hurricane weather through the Red Cross. We will continue to update our Handson Network disaster web page as we receive new updates.
Today's guest post is written by Meredith McPherson, Senior Manager of Marketing and Communications.
I don't know about you, but I love seeing my little Skype icon blinking on my computer screen. To me, it says, "Somebody needs me for something." It's kind of like the Bat Signal for Gotham, except my weapon is my pen (or keyboard) and I don't have nearly as cool a car as Batman does.
So, a few weeks ago, when Skype pulled me out of the depths of invoices and other boring but necessary tasks, I selflessly answered the call. It was my colleague (and friend) Lori Jean, who manages all of the content, workshops and programming for our annual Conference, letting me know that she needed my marketing skills to launch the Call for Presenters (CFP) process for our 2013 Conference. Unbelievingly, I blinked at the screen for a beat and the following conversation ensued:
Aniya Wells is one of the most passionate writers you'll ever meet. Though her writing interests run the gamut – from personal finance to health to current events and more – her primary interest is modern higher education. She serves as a reliable online degree guide for students by contributing for www.onlinedegreeprograms.com blog. Don't hesitate to contact Aniya for questions or comments at firstname.lastname@example.com.
One of the things I sometimes read about is the homogenization of our nation's communities. After travelling across the country for five weeks, I am happy to report that we continue to live in a land of great regional character. Even volunteer experiences vary across the country.
A perfect example for me was participating in my first-ever Human Cattle Drive in Sheridan, Wyo., (also known as the Trail Tromp) to break in a gorgeous new 12-mile trail. The pathway was created through voluntary conservation easements and orchestrated by a team of volunteers with the Sheridan Nature Conservancy. The community volunteers literally stomped the trail down and simultaneously raised awareness and enthusiasm for this amazing new community asset.
Today's guest post is written by Krisca Te, who works with Open Colleges, the leading provider of TAFE courses equivalent and counselling training in Australia. When not working, she enjoys spending her day with her 4-month old son.
I have a friend who recently asked me why I volunteer my time at a local charity. "If I were you," he said, "I would have spent my time on the beach. Or take on a second job. In this economy, nobody can afford to volunteer."
He has a point.
On Monday, August 20, our Atlanta Points of Light staff volunteered with Friends of Disabled Adults and Children (FODAC). FODAC collects donations of medical equipment and supplies to repair, clean, and match to people with injuries or disabilities who are having trouble accessing this equipment.
We arrived and went on a tour of the extensive building, where they work on repairing wheelchairs and mobilized scooters, store wheelchair parts and assorted medical supplies in a large warehouse and run an extensive goodwill. What a great organization giving back to the Atlanta community and worldwide.
Seattle is actively creating and cultivating spaces for community connections.
Two of my Seattle meetings took place on strolls through the Seattle Art Museum's Olympic Sculpture Park, which used to be a petroleum transfer and distribution facility. Today, thanks to philanthropic and volunteer leadership, the site has been transformed.
With unobstructed views of Puget Sound and the Olympic Mountains, the garden circles a bold, red Calder sculpture, "The Eagle." The park is dotted with chairs to facilitate conversations in any and all groupings.
My Seattle hosts said the Sculpture Garden has become a gathering point, offering free yoga on the grass, food trucks and farmers' markets, art classes, performances and family festivals like the Salmon Return Celebration.
Michelle Nunn finds inspiration in Portland, Oregon.
I am fascinated by people's stories of the sparks that ignite their passion to change the world. When I was in Portland, Emily Gilliland, executive director of Oregon's Campus Compact, laid three different matches on the table to illustrate the ignition points in her service journey.
Barbara Dillbeck taught elementary school in Michigan for over 20 years and is currently the Curriculum Director of generationOn. She is an active grandmother of four and an avid animal welfare advocate.
My 'Point of Light' is a dear friend who has enriched my life in so many ways. She has shown me what pure joy looks like, helped relieve stress, listened carefully to all I have to say. She is compassionate, empathic, dependable, and bearded – yes, bearded.
Michelle Nunn reflects on her families experiences at the national parks this summer.
My son, Vinson, is a great enthusiast for earning badges and pins of any sort, so we became devotees of the Junior Ranger program as we traveled through the national parks this summer. To earn his badges, we identified sage brush, learned what Sitting Bull did during the Battle of the Little Big Horn (stayed with the women and children), and discovered how long it took to carve the figures on Mount Rushmore (14 years).
Today's post is written by Hannah Oshin, a Points of Light Corporate Institute fellow and AmeriCorps Alum.
A company has goals, responsibilities and a duty to their stakeholders. There are a set of products and services to be developed, marketed and sold to the masses. A brand created, a mission established and a group of people hired to devote a 24-7 schedule to its success. Now, there is also an overwhelming demand for companies to act as civically engaged citizens.
We've made it to Friday again! Hope you have some fun volunteering to look forward to this weekend. Our staff will be partaking in a volunteer service project this Monday at Friends of Adults and Disabled Children. Look for our blog recap next week.
Exciting news today- the White House will honor 12 AmeriCorps Alums as Champions of Change, including our very own Delores Morton. Watch the events live and learn more at WhiteHouse.gov/live.
Here are the news from this week:
Morgan Tracey knows a lot about the word "champion." She's from Champion, Ohio. She's training to be an Olympic champion in skeleton, a sledding event similar to the luge. And on Friday,
she'll be named a White House Champion of Change for her outstanding record of community service.
Tracey put in thousands of hours becoming an athletic champion - and a civic leader.
Today's second blog for the Investing in Innovation series, is written by Dan Morrison, founder and CEO of Citizen Effect.
The Investing in Innovation blog series highlights world-changing ideas and startups and is made possible by the Civic Accelerator, a Points of Light and Village Capital venture. If you would like to have your civic-focused startup considered for inclusion, please inquire here.
Simone A. Bernstein is a junior at St. Bonaventure University in upstate New York. She is a summer intern at generationOn, an active volunteer in her hometown of St Louis, Mo. and in her college community. Simone co-founded VolunTEENnation.org, an online resource for youth to easily find volunteer opportunities.
Michelle Nunn writes about her service trip stop in Sheridan, Wyoming.
Imagine that you are driving down the road with your dog in the back, minding your own business when you find yourself being followed by a woman who parks when you park, then jumps out of her car, races to your side and starts talking about the difference you can make by contributing to the local animal shelter.
We are excited to announce the release of the Points of Light Service Ambassador program!
The Points of Light Service Ambassador program celebrates and recognizes key influencers, media personalities, celebrities, musicians, sports figures, and sector leaders for their belief in the power for people to create change while providing a platform to promote their philanthropic brand.
Good morning! I don't know about you, but i've enjoyed watching the Olympics these past couple of weeks and will be sad to see them go. In order to hold onto them a little longer, enjoy some more Olympic themed volunteer news from the week below:
Hammers and rakes and gloves! Oh My! Yes, these were just a few of the tools that Points of Light employees sorted, labeled, and painted on July, 25, 2012, when we volunteered to help with the Atlanta Community Toolbank. Upon entering the toolbank, Points of Light staff received a brief orientation and tour of the warehouse from the Atlanta Community Toolbank's Master Tool Librarian C.J. Clark. From this orientation, staff members learned about how the toolbank is impacting the surrounding community with its tool loan system.
Lauren Stock, age 13, is an eighth grader at Greenhill School in Dallas, Texas. Outside of school and High School Heroes, she dances, plays softball and is involved at her synagogue. She is a 2011 generationOn Excellence in Leadership and Service awardee, an honor that recognizes young people's impact on local, national and global communities and inspires those around them to do the same.
When I was 9, my mom was diagnosed with t-cell lymphoma, a rare form of blood cancer. My mom's treatment included more than 600 hours of chemotherapy and extended hospital stays. In addition, the doctors said she needed a stem cell transplant to survive. I didn't know anything about a stem cell transplant and neither did the rest of my family.
On July 26, Target launched a back-to-school education giving program, called Give With Target® in New York City with Disney Channel actress and Hollywood Records recording artist Bridgit Mendler. The program runs through Sept. 8, 2012 and is part of Target's plans to give $1 billion for education by 2015.
Minneapolis has long been considered a bastion of civic virtue, and for good reason. With the highest volunteer rate among large cities, the city understands the impact of giving back.
HandsOn Twin Cities – the longest operating volunteer center in the country – continues to find new ways to create change. I had the chance to meet with its board members and staff, led by Executive Director Kristin Schurrer, to learn more about their evolving work.
For those looking for innovative ideas, here are two: HandsOn Twin Cities will sponsor a speed-volunteering experience (think speed dating and you'll understand the matching that goes on!) for 10,000 people at an event at the Mall of America. And the group will also launch a skills-based, done-in-a-day volunteer expo in the fall.
Today's guest post, first of the Investing in Innovation series, is written by TJ Muehleman, co-founder and CTO of We&Co.
As a graduate of Atlanta Village Capital and a soon-to-be-graduate of Georgia Tech's Flashpoint, We&Co has the unique perspective of having gone through two different accelerators. So, I didn't hesitate when I was asked to offer up my thoughts on what to keep in mind when doing an accelerator program.
Michelle Nunn continues her service tour with a stop in Milwaukee.
I must confess that my concept of Milwaukee was a bit trapped in old stereotypes. I was expecting a cold Midwestern city with musty factories and dusty breweries. That's not what I got.
As we pulled in for a short visit, I was taken in by the fabulous lakefront parks, spectacular new Santiago Calatrava-designed Museum of Art, and the rivers winding through the cities with kayakers and scullers pulling into shore-side cafes and pubs. We discovered a Safe House spy restaurant with trapdoors and a password-only entry point that was great fun for kids and adults alike. It is a city of secreted charms.
Happy Friday! Here is our Olympic themed edition of the news this week - we hope you enjoy. Have a great weekend, and go U.S.A!
1) This week the AmeriCorps Alums Blog featured an Olympian who is a Teach For America Alum.
2) 5 Olympic Tips Of Volunteer Recognition.
3) 6 Olympic Athletes Who Give Back via Take Part.
4) Mother Nature Network blogs about generationOn's summer campaign.
5) The Future of Giving: Warren Buffett and Connected Philanthropy via Forbes.
Michelle Nunn shares her experiences in Chicago on her Service Tour across country.
You can't help but marvel at Chicago in the summertime. On an evening stroll from the Museum Campus down the lakefront and up through Grant Park to the new Millennium Park, you see extraordinary cultural institutions, beautiful parks, a lively street life and wonderful restaurants.
But what isn't so visible – a collaboration of business, civic and government leaders, all determined to take on tough city problems in smart, new ways – is just as noteworthy.
Here are three organizations that are engaging business in innovative ways:
Today's post is republished from the Billion + Change blog on July 19, 2012. This post was contributed by Michelle Nunn, CEO of Points of Light, and includes her reflections on A Billion + Change's Forum at the White House on June 27, 2012.
Can you imagine a future where 500 companies decide to collectively lead social change and tackle the most pressing challenges of the 21st century through skills-based volunteer service (SBV)? This is the future that A Billion + Change discussed recently at a national forum at the White House, "A Billion + Change in Action: Connecting to the Future of Corporate Service.
Today's post is written by Clay McMullen, 18, from northeastern Ohio who is a first-year student at Duke University in Durham, NC. He is the Founder of the Wetlands Education Team and a member of the 2011 PARADE All-America High School Service Team, an award recognizing outstanding young service leaders presented by PARADE Magazine in partnership with generationOn, the global youth service division of Points of Light.
"Ewww. I'm not touching that stuff," the kids always squeal. But, composted animal and human sewage can be valuable.
Michelle Nunn makes a stop on her service tour at HandsOn Battle Creek.
When William Keith Kellogg established his foundation in 1930, he provided simple instructions: "Use the money as you please so long as it promotes the health, happiness and well-being of children."
From the foundation's inception, Battle Creek – founding home of the Kellogg Company and current home of the foundation – has enjoyed the bounty of W.K. Kellogg's rich philanthropic tradition.
Here's what impressed me most during my visit with Jim Pearl and his team at HandsOn Battle Creek.

text: Digital Newspapers Flip Lower Class Readers, Democracy The Bird By Greg |October 1, 2007Share By Greg |October 1, 2007Share The NYT reports this morning that newspapers have grown tired of shelling out stockholders' hard- … well, earned cash to try to lure non-wealthy readership. Instead, papers are focusing on gaining and retaining a smaller, "better" circulation. Buried deep in the piece is the fact that the LAT leads the nation in declining readership (and they said this town isn't a news leader). But what's missing from the piece is any talk about what effect this business strategy will have on democracy. Sure, newspapers make mistakes. But we'd much rather have the hoi polloi (as well as they hoity-toity) get their news from this than this. Share http://adweek.it/2l6A5c4 copy Adweek Adweek

The next garment is the Post Edwardian Day Dress.
As I was doing my research, I was not thrilled with any of the images that I found as most just looked like the ones from the Titanic movie (with Leonardo DiCaprio) or they had more lace work then I can deal with right now. I finally came across this image and I was sold…
So to go along with Erick's vest that I will outline later, I am thinking of doing a silk teal with the following trim:
I don't know what fabric yet, but seeing as I don't have the corset finished yet or the mock up of the dress done, this isn't a huge problem.
This is the pattern I will be using for the base on both the evening and the day dress, how you lay the top layers and set up the trains.
The day dress will have a lace GUIMP, and look close to View A. When it comes to the lace I am probably going to do some more research and then look for some antique lace.
