First ladies' inaugural gowns through the years
As everyone wonders what first lady Michelle Obama will wear to her second Inaugural Ball on Monday, we're taking a look back at the fashion choices of other first ladies throughout history, including inaugural gowns and dresses worn to state dinners and other important events. These photos, from an exhibit at the Smithsonian's National Museum of American History called "The First Ladies," start with Mary Lincoln's purple velvet dress from the 1860s and take us on a style journey all the way to Michelle Obama's 2009 silk chiffon gown that put designer Jason Wu on the map.
Mary Lincoln (1861-1865)
This outfit, believed to have been made by African-American dressmaker Elizabeth Keckly, was worn by President Abraham Lincoln's wife during the winter social season of 1861-62. All three pieces are piped with white satin. The daytime bodice is trimmed with mother-of pearl buttons. Its lace collar is of the period but is not original to the bodice. The evening bodice is trimmed with lace and chenille fringed braid.
Julia Grant (1869-1877)
The wife of president Ulysses S. Grant wore this white silk damask evening gown in the early 1870s. According to the Grant family, the rose-patterned fabric was a gift from the emperor of China. The underskirt is a reproduction.
Lucy Hayes (1877-1881)
The wife of President Rutherford B. Hayes wore this gold damask and cream satin grown in 1880 to the White House New Year's reception and later to a February reception for diplomats and members of Congress. It was made by Mrs. M.A. Connelly, a New York dressmaker.
Frances Cleveland (1885-1889; 1893-1897)
The original floral chine skirt and peach velvet bodice were probably made around 1895 by the House of Doucet of Paris for President Grover Cleveland's wife.
Edith Roosevelt (1901-1909)
President Theodore Roosevelt's second wife wore this robin's egg blue silk gown with a design of plumes and birds woven in gold thread for the 1905 presidential inauguration. The pattern for the fabric was destroyed so that the dress could not be copied. The skirt was altered and the original bodice removed before the dress was donated to the Smithsonian.
Edith Wilson (1913-1921)
President Woodrow Wilson's wife wore this black charmeuse satin dress trimmed with beads, black velvet and white net from the House of Worth in Paris in 1915 for a private dinner party at the White House.
Grace Coolidge (1923-1929)
The wife of President Calvin Coolidge wore this brown chiffon and lace flapper-style dress trimmed with metallic thread and a brown velvet bow. She gave the dress to her White House maid, Maggie Rogers. It was likely shortened to be worn by Maggie's daughter Lillian.
Lou Hoover (1929-1933)
The wife of President Herbert Hoover wore this dark gray silk crepe evening gown with metallic thread brocade.
Lou Hoover (1929-1933)
President Herbert Hoover's wife wore this floral-patterned silk day dress fastened at the waist with a costume-jewelry brooch.
Eleanor Roosevelt (1933-1945)
President Franklin D. Roosevelt's wife wore this slate blue silk crepe evening gown designed by Sally Milgrim for the 1933 inaugural ball. Embroidered with a leaf-and-flower design in gold thread, it featured detachable long sleeves (not displayed). The belt buckle and shoulder clips are made of rhinestone and moonstone.
Mamie Eisenhower (1953-1961)
The wife of President Dwight D. Eisenhower wore this rose-colored silk damask ball gown designed by Nettie Rosenstein to a 1957 state dinner at the British Embassy.
Jacqueline Kennedy (1961-1963)
The fashion icon and wife of John F. Kennedy wore this yellow silk evening gown with an overlay of crepe chiffon designed by Oleg Cassini in 1961 for the administration's first state dinner for Tunisian President Habib Bourguiba.
Lady Bird Johnson (1963-1969)
President Lyndon B. Johnson's wife wore this yellow satin gown and sable-trimmed coat designed by John Moore to the 1965 presidential inauguration. Aware of the tradition of donating the dress for display at the Smithsonian, she chose a simple design that she thought would age well.
Pat Nixon (1969-1974)
President Richard Nixon's wife wore this mimosa silk satin gown embroidered in gold and silver and encrusted with Austrian crystals to the 1969 presidential inauguration. It was designed by Karen Stark for Harvey Berin.
Betty Ford (1974-1977)
Since there were no formal inaugural celebrations when Gerald Ford became president, his wife chose this pale-green sequined chiffon gown embroidered in a chrysanthemum pattern to represent her in the Smithsonian's collection. The dress was designed by Frankie Welch.
Rosalynn Carter (1977-1981)
President Jimmy Carter's wife had previously worn this gold-embroidered sleeveless coat over a gold-trimmed blue chiffon gown to the 1971 ball celebrating her husband's inauguration as governor of Georgia, and she wore it again for the 1977 inaugural ball. The dress was designed by Mary Matise for Jimmae.
Nancy Reagan (1981-1989)
President Ronald Reagan's wife wore this beaded, one-shouldered white sheath gown of lace over silk satin to the 1981 presidential inauguration. It was designed by James Galanos. She also wore white gloves by Galanos, beaded shoes by David Evins and carried a purse designed by Judith Leiber.
Barbara Bush (1989-1993)
The wife of President George H. W. Bush wore this royal-blue gown with a velvet bodice and asymmetrically draped silk satin skirt to the 1989 presidential inauguration. It was designed by Arnold Scassi. She wore her trademark costume pearls with the gown and carried a purse designed by Judith Leiber.
Hillary Clinton (1993-2001)
The wife of President Bill Clinton wore this violet beaded lace sheath gown with iridescent blue velvet silk-mousseline overskirt to the 1993 presidential inauguration. It was designed by Sarah Phillips and made by Barbara Matera Ltd., a New York theatrical costume maker. She wore beaded shoes by Bruno Magli and carried a purse designed by Judith Leiber.
Laura Bush (2001-2009)
The wife of President George W. Bush wore this ruby red gown of crystal-embroidered Chantilly lace over silk georgette to the 2001 presidential inauguration. It was designed by Michael Faircloth. She also carried a purse designed by Judith Leiber.
Michelle Obama (2009 to Present)
The wife of President Barack Obama wore this one-shouldered white silk chiffon gown embellished with organza flowers with Swarovski crystal centers to the 2009 presidential inauguration. It was designed by Jason Wu.

Besides the $33,000 version at Boucheron, you can find macaron charms and necklaces on Etsy at Bling and Pink (with Swarovski pearls no less) or at Fatally Feminine on page two. She also has cupcakes and other delights to extract large sums of cash from our possession.ReplyDelete
Happy Bastille Day!!

I love your blog, I never been in Paris, but I am Spanish and olwais I go to Biarrtitz. you know anicing about it? My nex travel is to Paris and with your blog I know more with the city=) It is my blog http://aboutmyfashionlife.blogspot.com/ If you like it fllow me please =)
Wow!! That's pretty cool, Carol..ReplyDelete
Happy 14 juillet to you, too... (We don't call it Bastille Day in France)... I don't know why- but I can ask my hubby...
Also, I've been seeing marcarons in Martha Stewart's magazine, "Living" quite a bit -- but they call them "macaroons" and I'm not sure why - since it's NOT the same cookie AT all...
Maybe you can be the macaron spokesperson in the U.S. - and make sure everyone's got it right!
Take care,
- Heather T9:17 AM
Well, here is 29"one type of macaron necklace, but not exactly the one you were looking for (very cute as well though!):
Bonne journée!
- Leslie in FL10:16 AM
Well this is close and I bet she could make whatever you wanted....Love your blog and I as well am a watercolorist, obsessed with travel and paint food as much as I can....Could we be related? :-)ReplyDelete
- Dana S.11:10 AM
Hi Carol,ReplyDelete
Check out these links for wonderful macaron necklaces. Now I want one too! You inspire me every day!
- Becky12:04 PM
Bonjour Carol!ReplyDelete
Loved today's post. Google macaron necklace if you haven't already done so.
There are some cute alternatives BUT if you track down the one in your pic
PLEASE share the info.
Love your blog and art !
I have a saying in my classroom. HF! BC!
(Have Fun ! Be Creative!)
You are a great example.
Couldn't find THAT necklace, Carol, sorry--hope someone finds it for you--it was made for you, that's for sure! Lovely watercolor!ReplyDelete
6 macs for $5 - comment c'est possible?ReplyDelete
That packaging for the macs you thought of buying looks PERFECT for mac protection!
Aw that would have been such a fun day! We're having our french festival this weekend, I cannot wait! And what a cute dog.ReplyDelete
Happy Bastille Day!
Bonjour Carol,ReplyDelete
I was there too and had a great time checking out all the goodies but my favourite was Le MacarOn Cafe. I bought a box of six, lavender, espresso, mango, apricot, nutella et rose / lychee. If I close my eyes, I feel as though I am in Paris. They are delightful and perfect. And yes, I complimented the young lady on the necklace. So sweet!
I love the beautiful pristine white apron the assistant in the macaron shop is wearing - I would definitely buy my macarons from there - attention to detail and all that - so Parisian !!ReplyDelete
Dianne xx
I LOVE the pictures you've taken! :D especially the last one of the macaroon necklace, that one's probably my favorite!ReplyDelete
Ooooh, la, la. Well, someone had to type it.ReplyDelete
My late Dad's birthday was July 14, so I've been aware of the date's significance for decades.
Sorry to have missed the NYC celebration, but ... did find on Sunday in my local farmers' greenmarket, some perfectly ripe peaches (des peches, n'est pas) and so perhaps when the 14th arrives, I will have many remembrances.
Your photos and commentary are marvelous.
Necklace is fabulous!ReplyDelete
looks like the bastille in NYC was wondeful, a full gastronomic festivity.
We shall be celebrating tomorrow in Paris!
Here's a little peek on the jet practice for the parade on the Champs Elysées from last week!
Carol, if I see that necklace, I will buy one for you! And I will salute you, in stripes, while eating beaucoup des macarons demain! xoReplyDelete
- Cindy in San Diego6:46 AM
I love your blog . . . but no time to tell you how great you are . . . just got this email from La Garconne . . . the red ballet flats are on sale!ReplyDelete
Thanks for writing such a wonderful blog.
$265.00 for plain old red Repettos is not a 'sale' price Cindy in San Diego...ReplyDelete
I'd rather go to Paris...
LOVE your blog. And dream of owning one of your watercolors. I don't know if you've already received an answer to your question about where to find the macaron necklace, but I believe you'll find it at fr.dawanda.com. If you enter 'macaron' in their search box, you'll find 86 pages! of macaron jewelry, including necklaces, bracelets, keychains, earrings, rings, and more. They have them in clay, crocheted, and in miniature.ReplyDelete
and here are more links to macaron jewelry:
Bonjour Carol! Merci bien for the assistance in finding a copy of la Pâtisserie de Pierre Hermé. I have finally ordered my copy from Librarie Gourmande. Now to get an autographed copy of Macaron... I've heard rumours he is about to re-print en anglais, mais, je préférerais ce livre en français.ReplyDelete
Love your blog... hard not to, since I too am passionate about all things French, not the least of which, Paris! I'd move there tomorrow if hubby would just agree to it!
While I did not find the "exact" necklace, perhaps this collier macaron is remarkably similar... n'est pas?
Bonne chance avec votre recherche! Et merci encore...

More than 5,000 Butler County residents will be affected by the change aimed at keeping the five commission districts populated evenly.
By a 4-0 vote, Butler County Commissioners Dan Woydziak, Peggy Palmer, Jeff Masterson and Mike Wheeler approved changes to commission districts within the county during their meeting last week.
After several weeks of lengthy discussions and two public hearings, the commissioners voted for changes that will help keep the county's population as evenly distributed among the five districts as possible.
The commissioners also wanted to keep as much urban/rural balance within each district as they could.
A total of 5,055 residents will be affected by the commission district changes.
The last time re-districting was done in Butler County was in 2003, when the commission expanded from three to five members.
Commissioner Bruce Harris did not vote, as his resignation was effective Dec. 18.
A resolution to accept the re-districting of Butler County will be presented to the commissioners for approval at a later meeting.

With planners and appointment books, missing appointments and overbooking clients are a thing of the past. These planners ensure that you are always prepared for the days, weeks, and months ahead. From business lunches to upcoming trips, your entire schedule is at your fingertips. Planners are great if you're on the go, but if you need something in your home or office to keep you on schedule, Staples has a huge selection of monthly calendars and desk calendars.
Convenient Scheduling
Planners and appointment books allow you to schedule your time by the hour, week, month, or year. Choose planners with date sheets if you need to schedule meetings or appointments in 15- or 30-minute intervals, or choose a planner with individual weekly or monthly pages if you prefer viewing multiple dates at once. You can also purchase planners if you need to start planning your schedule for the upcoming year. These portable planners and appointment books let you record information at a moment's notice. Choose planners that include a small notepad and pen to ensure that you're always ready to jot down important information. Dry erase calendars are another great option if you're constantly changing your schedule.
Academic Use
Teachers and students can use academic planners to schedule their workloads, allowing them to keep better track of looming tasks. Teachers can use appointment books to schedule weekly lessons, semester exams, and other essential assessments. Students can use planners to jot down test dates, arrange study sessions, and keep track of their professors' office hours. Teachers and students can place flags and tabs in their planners as visual reminders of test dates or upcoming holidays.
Stylish, Compact Designs
Planners and appointment books come in a wide variety of styles and colors. Select binder-style planners or spiral notebook designs. Some planners have durable leather covers, and others feature pages with colorful numbers, stripes, or floral designs. These planners are also compact, so you can easily slip them into your laptop bag or purse.

The PTR has once again revealed the possibility of new heirlooms. For the last couple of years there have been heirloom rings that were datamined out of the PTR, but we still haven't seen them in-game. The legs showed up at the same time as the rings, and we have had those for a while now but who knows whether these new items will really be available or not, and if so then when?
When and if these new heirlooms do become available, I will update my existing guide, or write a new one to make sure that all of your heirloom needs are covered from which ones you need or want for which class, to which enchants you'll want to put on them as well. Until they are confirmed to be in the actual patch, I'll just stick with this guide to give you an idea of what's there.
This post will show you all of the new heirlooms that were found in the 5.2 patch, and compare them to their existing items so that you can see how they compare and whether or not they might be on your list of things to do once they go live.
[Update: I found a blue post yesterday that confirms that these new upgraded heirlooms will in fact be in the 5.2 patch, as well as the new shields and off-hand item. The price for the upgraded versions of the heirlooms is the same as the current version of the heirloom plus you have to turn in that old heirloom. So, if you want a level 85 heirloom, they basically cost twice as much as the original because you have to turn in a copy of the original in order to get it.]
The Cost of New Heirlooms
We don't have any idea right now what these will cost. The assumption is that they will cost Justice Points as the current heirlooms do, but we don't know what the prices will be, whether they'll be the same as the existing heirlooms, more expensive, or if they'll get the current price and the old ones will get cheaper. We don't know if the current heirlooms will no longer be offered, or if you'll be able to trade them in for a discount on the new ones. There's plenty of speculation out there, but so far I haven't found anything to confirm, well…anything.
How much do these new heirlooms cost? We don't know.
Will they cost gold, honor, justice points, or something else? We don't know any of that, either.
Will we be able to trade in current ones for new ones? I doubt it.
Will the old ones magically turn into the new ones? I doubt that, too.
[Update: We do know the cost of these heirlooms now. The three brand new heirlooms are two shields (one tank, one caster) and an off-hand item, and each of those costs 2,175 Justice Points. The upgraded versions of the heirlooms which will scale to level 85 instead of level 80, require you to turn in the original heirloom and then also pay a number of Justice Points equal to the original cost of the item. So far their PvP heirlooms have not been confirmed, though they have been data mined. So we don't know for sure if you will be able to upgrade those or not. We also do not have any word on whether or not you will be able to get the upgraded versions through the Argent Tournament or the Darkmoon Fair.
My suspicion is that those will continue to provide ways to get the base heirloom, but that they will leave the upgrades as a way for people to dump their Justice Points. I could see the Darkmoon Fair maybe getting the upgrades, but I don't think the Tournament will since it's part of the level 80 world where the new DMF is a part of the level 85 world.
[Update: Confirmed that you can use the Darkmoon Faire to upgrade your heirlooms, the follow the same pattern of requiring you to turn in your old version plus pay the full cost of the original again. Also found that you cannot buy the new off-hand item via the Faire at this time, though it is available for Justice Points. The shields however, apparently never made the cut and are completely unavailable.]
Comparing New vs. Old
I was going to try to do a side-by-side comparison of the heirlooms to show you how the 5.2 heirlooms stood up to the current ones, but Wowhead apparently only has stats for the maximum level of the new heirlooms, which is 85. That makes doing a direct comparison impossible since the current versions only go up to level 80 and I can't see what the level 80 stats are for the 5.2 version. However, that doesn't mean we can't make an educated guess, right?
So for this little test we're going to look at the current heirloom Bow, the Charmed Ancient Bone Bow, and compare that to the 5.2 War-Torn Ancient Bone Bow.
CABB: 68 Agility, 68 Hit, 68 Crit (at level 80)
W-TABB: 267 Agility, 267 Hit, 267 Crit (at level 85)
That's quite a difference, right?
The best way I could see to compare these was to take an existing heirloom that's good until level 85 and compare its own stats at level 80 to itself to see what kind of percentage it comes out to. Since stats are added to items in different proportions based on the item slot in question, I decided to check multiple items as well.
Ancient Bloodmoon Cloak (Lv 80): 57 Stam, 38 Int, 25 Crit, 25 Haste
Ancient Bloodmoon Cloak (Lv 85): 224 Stam, 149 Int, 99 Crit, 99 Haste
Burnished Helm of Might: (Lv 80) 68 Str, 103 Stam, 47 Parry, 43 Expertise
Burnished Helm of Might: (Lv 85) 267 Str, 401 Stam, 183 Parry, 169 Expertise
Mystical Kilt of Elements (Lv 80): 103 Stam, 68 Int, 45 Spirit, 45 Crit
Mystical Kilt of Elements (Lv 85): 401 Stam, 267 Int, 178 Spirit, 178 Crit
The stats for the cloak range from 25.25% to 25.50% when you check what percentage the level 80 version is compared to the level 85. For the helm, stats range from 25.44% to 25.69%, and for the legs the range is 25.28% to 25.69%. If you average all of the stats for all three items, then you come up with 25.45%.
If you do the same calculation on the two different bows, you'll see that the stats are each 25.47%. So the new items seem to follow more or less the same scaling format that the current items do, which means that the most likely result will be that the new heirlooms are exactly the same as the existing heirlooms with the exception that they scale up to level 85 instead of only level 80.
With that knowledge in mind, I think the most likely thing we'll see in relation to the cost of these 5.2 heirlooms is that they will be the same cost as the existing heirlooms.
And since the 5.2 version will cause all of the current ones to become redundant, I expect that they'll make the level 80 versions simply no longer available for purchase. [Update: We now have confirmation on the costs. Upgraded heirlooms will require you to turn in the original heirloom, plus they will cost you the same amount of Justice Points as the original. So basically, these upgraded versions of the heirlooms cost twice as much as the original, and you lose the original if you upgrade it. As the items are completely separate, you will need to re-enchant them.]
I would love to see them add a way for us to upgrade our current heirlooms into these new versions, but Blizzard is all about making you play the game to get things in the game, so I'm leaning towards a whole new grind starting all over again. Since there's only 5 levels worth of difference, I think that's going to be their justification for making you pay the full price on the new ones. I would love to see reduced costs or other methods of obtaining heirlooms, but I think Blizzard feels pretty good with where they're at right now and probably won't bother changing it.
Some of the posts that I've seen people discussing these on, and even some of the comments on Wowhead suggest that they've finally given us a set of armor for plate-wearing casters (Holy Paladins), but that's not the case. They do have an upgraded version of the plate shoulders that already exist in the game, but there is no chest, helm, or legs to go along with them. So if you want to level a Holy Paladin, you'll still be rocking those mail heirlooms on into 5.2 and beyond for the foreseeable future.
Completely New Heirlooms
There are also a few brand new heirlooms that were found in 5.2's data that do not currently have a related item in-game.
Weathered Observer's Shield Caster Shield
Flamescarred Draconian Deflector Tanking Shield
Musty Tome of the Lost Caster Off-hand
Inherited Mark of Tyranny PvP Battlemaster's Trinket
[Update: The only item from this list that made it into the game in 5.2 is the Musty Tome of the Lost. The shields did not make it in, nor did the PvP trinket.]
The first two items are shields, but the PTR database on Wowhead doesn't list any stats on them at all. If you look at the original items that these are based on, which all heirlooms are, the Observer's Shield was for casters (spirit and intellect) and the Draconian Deflector was for tanks (dodge). The Musty Tome of the Lost is a caster off-hand that gives Stamina, Intellect, and Haste.
The fourth item is a PvP trinket, but not the kind that breaks crowd control effects. Instead, it increases your maximum health for a time. This will allow you to pair it up with the current PvP heirloom trinkets, or the more improved 5.2 versions so that you can have both trinkets providing you with a boost to your PvP stats. [Side Note: Even the 5.2 version of the PvP trinkets that break CC effects still have a 5 minute cooldown.] [Update: None of the Honor heirlooms have been confirmed yet on the 5.2 PTR. So the two shields and the off-hand have been confirmed, but the PvP trinket has not.]
Another Look at Rings
We first found out about these rings when information was datamined from the 4.3 patch and we started learning more about the Darkmoon Faire. We still haven't seen them introduced to the game yet, but that's the same time we also found out about the heirloom legs that were only recently introduced.
Antique Myrmidon's Signet: Strength, Stamina, Hit, Crit, +5% Exp
Burnished Dark Iron Ring: Strength, Stamina, Dodge, Expertise, +5% Exp
Gleaming Seal of the Archmagus: Stamina, Intellect, Crit, Haste, +5% Exp
Ornate Band of Accuria: Agility, Stamina, Crit, Haste, +5% Exp
[Update: As of 5.2, these rings are still not in the game.]
The first ring will be for Strength DPS classes, the second for Strength Tanks (possibly all tanks), the third for DPS and Healing Casters alike, and the last one for Agility DPS classes and possibly Agility Tanks. Also, note that these rings are all unique-equip which means you can't wear two of the same ring. So melee DPS will likely wear the main ring along with the Strength or Agility DPS rings (whichever isn't their primary one), Tanks will use the tank ring along with either the Strength or Agility DPS ring that's appropriate for their class, and casters will pair the Archmagus ring with either the Strength or Agility DPS ring depending on whether Hit or Haste is more important to them.

Micron announced the RealSSD C300 with 6Gbps SATA support early in December. It partnered with the Marvell Technology Group to create a new proprietary controller that will be used exclusively with Micron's latest generation of SSDs. The controller supports the use of ONFI 2.1 34nm NAND flash memory sourced from IMFT, Micron's joint venture with Intel.
The drive is able to reach a sustained sequential read speed of 355 MB/s, and a sustained sequential write speed of 215 MB/s. It is also much faster than Intel's 160GB X25-M as seen in the attached graphs. Testing was conducted by Calypso Systems, an independent third party tester, and shown to DailyTech today at Storage Visions.
"The C300 SSD not only delivers on all the inherent advantages of SSDs – improved reliability and lower power use – but also leverages a finely tuned architecture and high-speed ONFI 2.1 NAND to provide a whole new level of performance," said Dean Klein, Vice President of Memory System Development for Micron in December.
Many consumers have heard of Lexar Media, the consumer branch of Micron Technology which includes Crucial branded products. Crucial will be the first to launch the new SSD, branding it the Crucial RealSSD C300. It will start to ship to the channel in late January, and will be available for sale in early February.
"We've had tremendous response from the industry since we introduced the Micron RealSSD C300 drive in early December, and we're eager to get it into the hands of consumers," said Justin Sykes, Micron's Director of SSD marketing. "With its award-winning service and support, and global reputation for excellence, Crucial is the ideal brand to deliver our latest RealSSD consumer drive."
The RealSSD C300 will be available in 128 and 256GB capacities, and will be packaged in the standard 2.5-inch form factor. A five-year limited warranty will be standard. Crucial is also considering bundling the drive with cloning software for those who wish to transfer their files and settings, and a desktop bundle may include a mounting bracket.
"The Crucial RealSSD C300 drive is the fastest drive we've tested to date," said Robert Wheadon, Lexar Media's senior worldwide SSD product manager. "The big 'wow' factor for consumers is a marked improvement in boot-up times – the Crucial RealSSD C300 drive is blazing fast, like no other SSD we've ever seen in the Crucial Performance Lab."
While Crucial will focus on consumer sales, Micron itself will focus on the tough OEM SSD market currently dominated by Samsung, Toshiba, and Intel. OEM sales will focus on both 1.8-inch and 2.5-inch models for notebooks and netbooks, but the embedded market is also an option. Micron expects that its newest SSDs will available as option in computers by the time the busy back-to-school shopping season swings around.

This is the only place I dare voice this opinion and why I hang around this forum.
I know the majority of members here will reply that it is because he does not exist.
But it is becoming clearer to me that I really am completely alone.
The people at the church I go to don't know about my hardships; I haven't told them because they see me as the strong competent nurse I used to be.
Everywhere I turn for help has some reason to deny me.
No loving god would allow this to happen.
Religions need books because they don't have gods.
I'm so sorry.
You have to be strong for him, but he still has to be strong for you.
I'm guessing he doesn't have the resources to go? How long has it been since he's seen his mom? Losing someone far away is so different from losing someone close. Does he have family here to share this hard time with? People who love her?
You will need to support him through the waves of pain and grief.
But that does not mean that your pain and fear and compounding problems are not still dominating YOUR life.
Your relationship needs to be about mutual support, and this is a time in which you both need lots of support.
I send you hugs and warm thoughts across cyberspace.
Got a forclosure notice. They refuse to hold for my disablilty claim to be completed.

Description: The yanagiba is a traditional Japanese knife used to cut boneless fish fillets. It is mainly used for a drawing cut. The heel of the knife is placed on the fish and the knife is lightly pressed down, letting the weight of the knife do the work while drawing the blade toward you. Sashimi knives are also excellent for slicing other boneless meats.
Knives by Teruyasu Fujiwara are among the best performing knives anywhere. The quality of the sharpness is exceptional and the edge retention is nearly unparalleled. Additionally, the hand-hammered surface reduces the likelihood of food sticking to the side of the knife while slicing.
Teruyasu Fujiwara the fourth has named these knives Maboroshi no Meito, �Visionary Sword Celebrated in Victory" -- a bold claim, but one that is deserved. Fujiwara�s knives exceed all expectations of performance and edge holding.
Over 130 years ago, Teruyasu Fujiwara the first began his career as a master blacksmith, forging farm tools. When his son Fujiwara the second was of age, he was apprenticed to the famous Tokyo swordsmith Masahide Suishinshi. After some years of training, he retuned to his father�s shop and commenced his successful life as a master swordsmith. The family continued this tradition until sword making was restricted after WWII. By the end of the 1960s, the Fujiwara family began making kitchen knives.They were determined to make knives that would make a swordsmith's family proud. To this end, they spent the next ten years developing the steel and techniques necessary to forge-weld stainless steel with high carbon steel and then properly temper the blade. It took all of the knowledge gained by the family from more than 100 years of forging swords to successfully produce their current offering of kitchen knives. Since the late 1990s, Fujiwara the fourth has continued the family tradition.
These knives are completely hand forged by a true master. The hard shirogami #1 (white carbon steel) cutting edge (Jigane) is laminated to softer stainless steel (Hagane). This technique results in a knife that has the performance of a carbon steel knife (a keen, long lasting edge and ease of sharpening) without many of the maintenance issues (rusting and oxidation). The blade is then hardened to Rockwell 64-65 (very hard!)
Traditional Japanese chef's knives differ from European-styled knives in that they are sharpened with a bevel on only one side. The opposite side is slightly hollowed. Because of this, these slicing knives can generally be honed to a sharper edge than can double bevel knives.
The D-shaped handle is formed from ho wood, a close relative of magnolia. The handle has a front ferrule formed from buffalo horn. Each blade comes razor sharp. Designed for right-handed use.

On a recent morning, large trucks rumbled on a swath of land north of Paynes Prairie Preserve State Park.
On a recent morning, large trucks rumbled on a swath of land north of Paynes Prairie Preserve State Park.
In some directions, the land was largely barren. Except for two protected stands of cypress trees, the ground was a mix of dirt and mud worn by the tracks of trucks and heavy rolling equipment.
Heavy machinery has downed trees and brush to clear the land. Branches and tree trunks were gathered into a huge pile and set afire.
Gainesville officials plan for the scene to change significantly in the next 12 to 18 months.
These early stages of work on the long-planned $26 million Paynes Prairie Sheetflow Restoration Project will transition over time into the construction of basins, a pond, channels and some 125 acres of artificial wetlands planted with native vegetation to temporarily store and then scrub water that will flow onto the prairie and eventually into Alachua Sink.
The project's roots date back to 2002, when the Florida Department of Environmental Protection declared Sweetwater Branch and Alachua Sink to be polluted waterways.
The state required that the city of Gainesville clean up the pollution since the primary sources of pollution were stormwater runoff from a roughly three-square-mile urban area near the prairie and discharge from Gainesville Regional Utilities' Main Street sewer treatment plant.
The runoff and discharge flow through Sweetwater Branch to the prairie and then through a canal excavated in the 1930s into Alachua Sink.
Working with state agencies, the City Commission approved the sheetflow project as the plan to address the pollution back in 2007.
Some $5.2 million in state and federal grants are going toward the costs. The remainder is covered by a 69.5 percent/30.5 percent split of GRU sewer revenues and Public Works stormwater revenues.
The city's project will include filling in the canal to restore the natural "sheet" flow of water across the prairie and to the sink.
GRU also is in the midst of a $1.4 million upgrade to the Main Street treatment plant to reduce its environmental impact on Sweetwater Branch. Rick Hutton, supervising utility engineer with GRU, said the sheetflow is designed to reduce the levels of nitrogen in the water flowing through Sweetwater Branch while the wastewater plant improvement will cut phosphorus levels.
Once the sizeable construction project on the land at the north end of the prairie is complete, the city's plan is to open the approximately 260-acre site to the public as a park — with some three miles of trails, an open-air pavillion and viewing platforms.
Alice Rankeillor, the GRU project manager for the sheetflow project, said public access to the site is likely some 18 months away.
She noted that there are similar projects that have been fully restored and opened to the public in other areas of Florida.
"We used them as inspiration for our design here," Rankeillor said.
In Central Florida, the Orlando Wilderness Park was developed at the site of man-made wetlands designed to reduce the levels of nitrogen and phosphorus in effluent before it discharges into the St. Johns River.
At Green Kay Wetlands in Palm Beach County, an elevated boardwalk system winds through hundreds of acres of man-made wetlands built to filter several million gallons of treated wastewater each day.
Near Melbourne, the Viera Wetlands were constructed to scrub discharge from a wastewater treatment plant and have become a popular area for photographers and bird watchers.
The future may hold a similar scenario for the Paynes Prairie Sheetflow restoration area. Right now, the present day is a little less picturesque. Crews are clearing land and adjusting the topography to prepare for the construction of three cells of wetlands. Temporary canals also are in place to divert the flow of Sweetwater Branch and Tumblin Creek away from the construction site to keep it dry.
Jim Hudson, construction superintendent with Wharton-Smith Inc., said the plan is to have the first area of wetlands — cell three — ready by September in order to plant vegetation there.
Nearby resident David Godfrey has served as a neighborhood liaison as the city has worked through the design and now the construction of the project.
"Ultimately the goal of the project is worthwhile," he said. "The water going into the prairie has issues. That is not good for the aquifer or the prairie. I've seen the end result of these projects in other areas and I think it will be a positive thing for the wildlife and the prairie."

It truly is an inspiring place to walk through before each meeting. As a reminder to all of those who attend (new members as well as current ones) the invites for our events are hosted by meetup.com. Just search for "Apartment Therapy" and you'll find us. If you haven't joined us yet, please do so — and if you have joined us in the past, please continue to join, learn about designers first hand from Maxwell's 1-on-1 interview with them, and mingle with your fellow attendees afterwards.
MAXWELL GILLINGHAM-RYAN: Mira Nakashima-Yarnall was born in Seattle, Washington in 1942, and grew up in New Hope, Pennsylvania, where her father, George Nakashima, built his home and studio in 1943. Mira received her Bachelor of Arts in Architectural Sciences at Harvard University in 1963, and then went on to complete a Master of Architecture at Waseda University in Tokyo, Japan in 1966. She returned to New Hope in 1970 to work with her father, and became Director of Nakashima Woodworkers when her dad passed away in 1990. Mira completed a book on her father's life in 2003 entitled, Nature, Form & Spirit: The Life and Legacy of George Nakashima, and she received the first Medal of Honor for Lifetime Achievement in Decorative Arts in 2008. In 1996, the first "Altar of Peace" was completed as part of the Foundation for Peace, the goal of which is to install an Altar on each continent. They are currently at work on the 4th Altar, to be installed at the Desmond Tutu Peace Center in Cape Town, South Africa.
The first time I spoke with Mira was for one and a half hours on the phone. What I learned is that her family's story is such an international one. I'd like to start out by asking you to share the story of how your grandfather found his wife.
MIRA NAKASHIMA-YARNALL: My grandfather came to the states in the late 1800's. At the time, Japanese were not allowed to intermarry with Americans, so there was a "picture bride" system used, where the groom would see a series of pictures of potential brides. He arrived in Seattle and found her photo. On my grandmother's side, she had visited a fortune teller who told her that she would "marry a poor man from a far distance." They had four children, the oldest of which was my father, George (1905). My grandfather worked for both a trading company and a Japanese newspaper in the US.
MAXWELL GILLINGHAM-RYAN: Your father went to MIT for architecture, and when he graduated he sold his car to go travelling, correct?
MIRA NAKASHIMA-YARNALL: Yes. He graduated in 1930, and at the time, it was cheaper to buy a steamship ticket and travel the world than own a car (and of course, there wasn't a lot of work in the US at that time anyway). He had been in Paris in 1929 so he decided to go back there in his travels.
MAXWELL GILLINGHAM-RYAN: His story is very much a depression-era tale. After Paris he went to Tokyo, where he had never been, and got a job with an architect. Architecture continued to be a lifelong passion from there, correct?
MIRA NAKASHIMA-YARNALL: Yes. In fact, he worked for Frank Lloyd Wright in Tokyo for a short while and didn't get along with him very well, so he went to work with another architect, Antonin Raymond, whom Wright had partnered with on the Imperial Hotel. He came back to the US in 1943 and rescued us from the (internment) camp we were at in Idaho.
MAXWELL GILLINGHAM-RYAN: (Antonin) Raymond was very into concrete, and your dad actually did a project for him in India, correct? And then, after working in Japan and India, he returns to the US and decides not to pursue architecture anymore. Why was that?
MIRA NAKASHIMA-YARNALL: He was about to get married, and he saw a Wright building in California and became discouraged about US architecture! The whole architectural world wasn't right, and it was a major hassle to build and get commissions. He decided to start a furniture company, as furniture was something he could completely control throughout the entire process. He could make it in his own shop, and work directly with the client. This is how he started his shop — and contrary to popular belief, he did originally start on his own.
MAXWELL GILLINGHAM-RYAN: So tell us how he got you and the family out of the camp.
MIRA NAKASHIMA-YARNALL: We were interned in 1942, but luckily he was still friendly with Mr. Raymond, who had moved to New Hope at that time. In 1943 he contacted my dad and said he had some government contract work, which he could use as a reason to help get the family out of the camps.
MAXWELL GILLINGHAM-RYAN: And when he got you all out, he decided he wanted to do something non-threatening (to stay under the radar) so he went to New Hope and became a chicken farmer, yet quickly got sick of it.
MIRA NAKASHIMA-YARNALL: That's right. He started making furniture by hand, but he also got a contract to work with Knoll Studios. So he did mass-produce some items at the time with Knoll. Luckily, he retained the right to make similar products by hand in his own studio; it wasn't considered a conflict of interest.
MAXWELL GILLINGHAM-RYAN: And I'm sure he enjoyed the control over that part of the process.
MIRA NAKASHIMA-YARNALL: Yes. My dad was at an ashram in India in the 30's (one of his stops on his world travels) run by Sri Aurobindo. While in the ashram he was given the name "Sundarananda," which means "one who delights in beauty." My father believed that he was a conduit for something greater than himself, and he kept this belief throughout his life, and especially in his work.
MAXWELL GILLINGHAM-RYAN: So is every table different?
MIRA NAKASHIMA-YARNALL: Yes, it completely depends on the piece of wood.
MIRA NAKASHIMA-YARNALL: This is the first table made on the east coast (1930's)
MAXWELL GILLINGHAM-RYAN: How unusual were these designs at the time?
MIRA NAKASHIMA-YARNALL: At the time, the term "freeform" really just meant something made by the human hand, not the freeform "shape" that we think it to be now. Shippers used to look at the tables and say that they were cracked and emphasized that it wasn't their fault! We told them they were like that on purpose, which seemed crazy to them. We were buying up scrap that others didn't want — imperfect pieces thrilled my father, and obviously, these became his signature look.
MAXWELL GILLINGHAM-RYAN: I understand that he designed hundreds of pieces for this home. It was a huge commission for him.
MIRA NAKASHIMA-YARNALL: Yes, it was. It opened in 1975 and the Ambassador of Japan came to the opening. It was a big deal.
Q:I'm curious about the design process for new pieces — do you look to your dad or to yourself during this process?
MIRA NAKASHIMA-YARNALL: My dad died in 1990, and at that time we had a huge supply of wood. We also had a lot of great folks who trained with my dad who stuck around, which was lucky because we also had a huge backlog at that time. One of our client's houses burned down as well, so we really had a lot of work to focus on. First, we built a barn to house all the wood (the one you saw in the slides). Then, we focused on filling all of the current orders. We were really afraid that the secondary market would dry up at this time — many people thought that everything should be discounted because everything from then on was a "reproduction" of my father's designs. I don't think people realized the team we had in place for so many years under him was fully trained firsthand in his designs. We do create variations of dad's designs, because in reality, every piece is different because every piece of wood is different. Things made by hand are each different by nature, and we see a need for that now more than ever. In NYC for example, nature is not as prominent in your everyday life, and we feel that is a very important element.
MAXWELL GILLINGHAM-RYAN: So your pieces are based on your dad's designs, but you also create Mira designs, correct? Although regardless, it sounds like you always look to him for techniques.
MIRA NAKASHIMA-YARNALL: Exactly. In fact we have a large redwood roof that just came to us that I'm very excited about. We stood it on end to fit in the barn.
Q:What is your process in selecting wood?
MIRA NAKASHIMA-YARNALL: Sometimes we ask people what space the item will go in, but more often these days we are asked about cost first and we work backwards from there. In fact, we have a table in-house now that is for the President of South Korea, and he's quibbling with us about the price!
MAXWELL GILLINGHAM-RYAN: I'm sure that in the selection of wood people like to be very involved.
MIRA NAKASHIMA-YARNALL: Yes, they like to pick their own wood and be very involved. Some even pick their wood by the internet, which is very difficult for me to understand.
Q:How large a part does biomimicry play in the design process? In terms of how it's evaluated and how it's shaped, etc?
MIRA NAKASHIMA-YARNALL: We usually buy logs whole. We look at them overall, and also oversee the milling process. You really need to imagine what you are going to be using it for in the end to understand how it's going to be milled. It takes 5-6 years to dry, so this is a very forward-thinking process. We go by dimensions, size, and thickness as we think about how it's going to be used. And when you look at a milled plank and see its natural contours, it starts to become clear how we want to work with it. Modification is very much dependent on each individual piece.
Q:First, I want to thank you for being here. I'm just in awe of you and your work! Could you tell us a bit about where you get your logs and how much they cost?
MIRA NAKASHIMA-YARNALL: The walnut and cherry logs come from Pennsylvania, although we do have some from New York and California. Up until now, there was a big building boom in Pennsylvania so the trees had to be moved, which gave us a lot of inventory. Black walnut trees drop nuts that no one likes so those are removed. The cost is about $4 / rough board, but a lot of work is done to it after that, of course.
MAXWELL GILLINGHAM-RYAN: The trees in the slides look very large.
MIRA NAKASHIMA-YARNALL: English Walnut roots don't grow in California so they actually take them down and graph them onto other trees to grow. They can grow up to 5' across.
MAXWELL GILLINGHAM-RYAN: So before we close I want to ask about working with your dad. I know that you started working with him in 1970, and you told me that he wasn't that easy to work with.
MIRA NAKASHIMA-YARNALL: He wasn't. I don't think he ever trusted me and my work. You have to understand that he was a total perfectionist, so to trust anyone with his wood, even family, was difficult. Also, he was non-verbal. He expected you to just figure things out. We live across from the shop, and when I first started working with him my kids would see me walking home at the end of the day and would say, "oh, did you get fired again today, mom?"
MAXWELL GILLINGHAM-RYAN: Your brother never worked for him, right?
MIRA NAKASHIMA-YARNALL: That's right! He didn't want to be fired every day. Visit nakashimawoodworker.com for more information on Nakashima, his products and his legacy. The property is open for tours on Saturday afternoon and is a mere two hours from New York City. Come visit!
Thank you Mira Nakashima-Yarnall!
Congratulations to the evening's winner of Mira's Beautiful book, Nature Form & Spirit: The Life and Legacy of George Nakashima.

Group gives grant to expelled gay student
Christopher Curtis, PlanetOut Network
Wednesday, January 12, 2005 / 05:53 PM
SUMMARY: James Barnett made headlines when his Dallas-area high school expelled him after he admitted he was gay. Now an LGBT scholarship organization has pledged to help the honor student.
High school senior James Barnett made headlines in December, when Trinity Christian Academy, a Dallas-area private school, expelled Barnett after he admitted he was gay. Now a national LGBT scholarship organization has pledged to help the 18-year-old honor student.
On Tuesday the Point Foundation, which supports academic achievement in higher education for LGBT students, awarded Barnett an academic honorarium to help him attend college later this year.
"We are pleased to present this honorarium to James, an outstanding student turned away simply because of his sexual orientation," said Vance Lancaster, executive director of the foundation. "This is a sadly common and very real example of why Point Foundation scholarships are necessary."
The grant amount will be determined after a financial review in the spring, the organization said.
In an interview with the PlanetOut Network, Barnett spoke of the recent hardships he faced at school and at home because of his sexual orientation.
"Private schools need to let it be known where they stand on the gay issue," he said. "Had I known that Trinity was going to expel me, I would have moved to (a different school). Life does really get rough in high school."
"About a year ago, I was suicidal from the pressures of being a gay kid in a private school," Barnett revealed. "I felt like I was the only gay kid."
Then Barnett discovered gay chat rooms on the Internet, which lead him to one run by XY magazine. At last Barnett could talk to people his own age, he said. But when XY told its Web site users it planned to charge for the service, Barnett panicked. "If you haven't told your parents (you're gay) you can't have them see a credit card charge to XY magazine," he said.
So Barnett created his own Web site, my-boi.com, which doesn't charge users. Barnett insists the site is not for "hook-ups" but to alleviate the sense of isolation many people his age experience when they first come out.
Word of the Web site got out around the campus of Trinity Christian Academy, and soon Barnett found himself summoned by the school's chaplain.
"The chaplain asked me if I was gay and I said, 'Yeah,'" Barnett said. "I had no idea that this was going to get out because I thought this was simply counseling."
Barnett waited until his parents were summoned. "When I saw my mother she said, 'What did you do?'" Barnett said.
The school principal then told Barnett's parents their son was gay and told Barnett he could either leave quietly or be expelled for violating the school's "immoral behavior" clause of the student code of conduct.
Brian Chase, a lawyer for Lambda Legal, told the Dallas Morning News the school was within its rights to force Barnett's expulsion. Texas, Chase noted, has no law prohibiting discrimination based on sexual orientation.
"Trinity did what they did for image and political reasons," Barnett said, claiming he harbored no ill will toward Christian conservatives.
"The Christian conservatives I've met have only loved and embraced me." Barnett considers himself a Christian conservative, and revealed he voted for President Bush during the November election.
After being expelled, Barnett's parents took him to counseling in the hopes they could change their son's sexuality. "And they got shot down. They were told they are the ones with a problem," he said.
Despite the obstacles he faces, Barnett believes his story is very important for other LGBT students. "I didn't know this was happening to other kids across the nation. I thought this was a unique case. But apparently not."
The school principal then told Barnett's parents their son was gay and told Barnett he could either leave quietly or be expelled for violating the school's "immoral behavior" clause of the student code of conduct.

From time to time, I get the question "What do you do when somebody gives you a book if you can't find pricing data for it?" Like everything else I do, this is not a situation that allows for a simple answer. There are three possibilities, all of which I have used: Skip It, Wing It, Let the Market Decide.
Enough items came in this year which are unique or so rare that I will have to use each of these methods. There is a file of personal pictures and documents which a Famous Person kept on hand to use for advertising purposes. There are pictures of the family, pictures of the log cabin once occupied by the family, pictures of the various buildings used by the family firm, newspaper clippings, advertising materials from the company, etc. The file came to the Newberry, which carefully kept one of each of the items, but the company had a lot of duplicates, to be used whenever the marketing committee (or whatever they would have called it in the 1880s) felt the need. A few of the advertising materials are valuable in themselves, but there must be some way to sell the whole thing as a lot. I may think that one over for another year.
For the second time in our history, we have been given a book so pornographic that no book dealer will admit having a copy. This one is SLIGHTLY less pornographic than the last one—I don't think we'd be busted—at least in Illinois—for selling it. But, um, I think I will explore that a little more carefully. (I did find one LIBRARY which owns a copy: they call it a psychological study).
We have that book by Pulitzer winner Robert E. Sherwood, which he has inscribed. It also contains a personal letter telling a lady he'd be glad to inscribe a few copies for her, saying he's sorry he missed her at Moss Hart's party, and promising he does SO recall when last they met, because someone made a remark about his wife at that particular party. This is rather chattier than most celebrity letters I get in, so I have plunked a large price on it. I don't happen to know what anecdotes about Mrs. Sherwood are worth, but maybe this is one you haven't read.
In the past, we have put things up for Silent Auction: a book quilt, a celebrity bookstand. This year we are going to put up three such nifties, partly because we think they'll amuse you and partly because I have no idea what to charge. In the estate of Helen "The Cemetery Lady" Sclair, we received her personal copy of the Andreas History of Cook County, Illinois, in an undistinguished library binding and with dozens of her bookmarks sticking out of it. I'll let the market decide what to pay for that. Rev. John M. Buchanan, of Fourth Presbyterian, sent over a number of books from his office as he moves into retirement. Among these was his hymnal: just a plain basic hymnal in which he has written his name. I don't see any other notes in it, but it is an Association Item, and I'll be interested to see what the market will do to the price of that.
And among the Roger Ebert donation were three or four books inscribed to him. The books inscribed by Harlan Ellison will be found at exorbitant prices in the Colectors'-Signed section. But the one in which Elmore Leonard has written "As Saul Bellow would say 'Best Wishes'" is going to the silent auction shelf. An inscription like that is not picked up in every balcony.
Drop by, look around. Ask about the box of pictures and stuff from the Famous Person, if it intrigues you: we can certainly make a deal. Do not ask me about the pornographic book. Officially, I haven't even seen it. Probably read about it in a book somewhere.

A test to determine whether women can go braless in public. The tester lifts a breast, places a pencil under it, and releases the breast. If the pencil falls down, she can go braless (under a shirt, of course). If the pencil is held in place by the weight of her breast, she should wear a bra.
I took the pencil test and decided that the halter top was a bad idea.
by Sprvxn December 26, 2006
In the days of racial segregation in Africa, people of mixed races, or those who looked like they were of mixed race were subjected to the penicl test to decide what race they were. A pencil was placed in thier hair, and should it fall through they were classified as white, and were given the priveliges that were assocciated with white people. Should the pencil not fall through thier hair, they were classified as black and treated as such.
The pencil test was humiliating, and even if someone were to be classified as white, they would still not be totally accepted, and would instead be refered to as 'coloured'.

NAMPA, Idaho — About 220 people attended Canyon County's first-ever Ag Forum, which brought local business leaders together with farmers, who drive the county's economy.
The two-hour forum hosted by the Nampa Chamber of Commerce will become an annual event and one of its main focuses will be, "How do we protect an asset that is very important to our community?" chamber president and CEO Debbie Kling said.
The event is designed to bring farmers and the business community together and help facilitate the continued development of agriculture and agribusiness in Canyon County, she added.
"What can we do in Canyon County, in Nampa, Homedale, Parma and Caldwell to (foster) the long-term relationship with agriculture and business that can take us into the future?" Kling said. "We are going to look at how we can build these relationships going forward."
The forum included about 20 farmers, representatives of major agribusiness and seed companies, FFA members, and leaders of the county's business community.
"Farm Bureau could not have scripted this any better," said Caldwell farmer Sid Freeman, president of Canyon County Farm Bureau, a major sponsor of the event.
Freeman said his group would help ensure the forum continues "next year and the year after and the year after. We're going to make it happen."
Attendees heard presentations from Gov. Butch Otter, a rancher who was born in Canyon County, and Idaho State Department of Agriculture Director Celia Gould.
Otter and Gould praised the chamber for hosting the event.
"The Nampa Chamber gets it. You understand the importance of Idaho agriculture to your economy," said Gould, who also encouraged farmers to tell the story of agriculture to non-farming audiences.
"We do not do a good job of telling our story," she said. "We can't do that any more. We have to let people know who we are and what we do for them. We need to tell the story."
There are almost 2,400 farms in Canyon County, far more than any other county in Idaho, and they produce about $420 million annually in cash receipts.
Though small in size compared to other Idaho counties, Canyon County farmers produce about 140 different agricultural commodities.
One of the event's purposes was to highlight how important agriculture is to the local and state economy and Chanel Tewalt, assistant to the ISDA director, reminded people that both farm-gate receipts and ag exports in Idaho set records in 2013.
"Agriculture generates more sales in Idaho than any other industry, it touches every person and every corner of the state and, when agriculture does well, we all benefit," she said.
Michael Swanson, an agricultural economist for event sponsor Wells Fargo, told the audience that global monetary and political issues could impact how U.S. agriculture fares in the near future.
However, he added, "Wells Fargo thinks agriculture is going to be one of the (United States') bright spots for many, many years (to come)."

Bob AKA Owner
As a kid, I always liked comedy and would listen to albums by George Carlin, Bob Newhart, Bill Cosby, and Lenny Bruce. Despite my enjoyment of these great talents, I decided to pursue an unfunny career and left Los Angeles for San Francisco State College to be a lawyer. When that did not hold my attention, I switched majors and ended up getting a Bachelor of Arts Degree in Communications.
