Romantic Hotels in Gatlinburg TN
Can you believe it is May already? This is the fifth month of the year, folks, which means only one thing: four quick weeks and we are almost half way done with 2015. It is really difficult to believe.
For some of us, May is a romantic month. You might celebrate your anniversary in May, too. What better way to say "I love you" all over again than with a weekend getaway at Zoder's Inn in Gatlinburg TN? Here's the reality: chocolate gets eaten and jewelry gets misplaced or broken after a few years. But memories of a trip taken together are forever. Nobody can take that gift away from you.
Besides, trips also represent the gift of time to each other. Time has become a precious commodity these days. Time is money, sure, but time is also love. When somebody truly gives you time, away from social media channels, TV screens and cell phones, you know they love you and appreciate time with you.
With our peaceful scenery and the sounds of a rushing mountain river, we believe that Zoder's Inn and Suites has a spot on the list of romantic hotels in Gatlinburg TN.

An anniversary break to remember
Kerry James wants a £3,000 holiday with history and culture for two
My husband and I would like to book a special holiday for our silver wedding next year. Our budget is £1,200 each if we need to pay for extras such as car hire, petrol, meals, and £1,500 each if everything is included. We would like to be away for about ten days in the school summer holidays.
My husband does not enjoy excessive heat and would not enjoy a beach or activity holiday, or anything that requiresformal dress. We are both quite interested in a river, coastal or rail journey and prefer scenery and small towns to large cities. We are also interested in history and culture. What can you suggest? - Kerry James, via e-mail

My husband (writer/director) and I (producer) recently read a post on Stage 32, that a US team shot their film in eight days (with an additional three days for rehearsals), with two main cast, few locations and the dramatic concept of topical storylines, that unfolded through video chat. This is a solid idea when shooting a feature on a micro budget, because it requires minimal angles and set-ups, which allows you to shoot more scenes of dialogue per day.

Winter is Coming... For Recovery
Ok, ok, so maybe this blog post isn't QUITE as dramatic as Han Solo being frozen in carbonite, but I felt like the reference was fitting. I'm also about the gratuitous use of television and film references already used in the first few moments of this blog.
I was lucky enough to be given a few cryotherapy sessions from the great people at Restore Cryotherapy here in Austin to give an entirely unbiased synopsis of getting frozen for three minutes and living to write about it! What a deal!
As with anything - I'm always down to try it. But I can't say that I wasn't a little skeptical about the idea of cryotherapy. There's been mixed research on the discussion of ice baths for post-race/workout performance and recovery. This was taking ice baths to a whole other level. But I had tons of friends who had raved about the healing benefits of the freezes so, in typical fashion, I was eager to succumb to peer pressure.
I showed up at Restore and was politely escorted into the back room, where there was a changing room. Here, you strip down to your birthday suit (or not, if you're a dude), grab a robe and some of the classiest grandpa slippers of all time. Slip on some of your dad's old black (but very warm!) socks and you're ready to go. Oh, and don't forget to wipe yourself down. Sweat is a serious no-no, since the wetness will immediately freeze to your skin, in what I can only imagine is a severely unpleasant experience.
The cryotherapy chamber is exactly what you would imagine a life-size upright deep freezer would look like. It opens from the side and your grandpa slippers daintily step onto the frost-covered platform, convinced you'll immediately freeze to death. Have you ever had a phobia that you might one day get locked into the walk-in coolers at a restaurant? That's exactly what this conjures up.
As you stand on the platform, some nice sadist (read: employee) slowly adjusts the platform so that just your head is above the freezing level. It's a bit of a social experiment, to be honest, because from this high vantage point, I'm 100% and completely convinced that those down below can see me standing naked in this freezing chamber and they're just being polite. This is completely false, also, but I calmly tell myself that boobs are boobs and this is Austin, right?
Just before the freezing begins, they exchange your warm and cozy robe for a pair of oven mitts (I mean, that's what I tell myself they are). I promptly place my hands on my chest. Here we go. Are you ready? Doesn't matter. Time to go!
The machine gears up. The liquid nitrogen is pumped into the chamber and the temperature lowers down into the -200F region. The carbonite slowly pours in from all sides, but you only feel a slight tingling. This isn't so bad Chewy. Make sure you take care of the Princess.
Hmm. That's not quite right.
In reality, you spent about three minutes in the ice chamber. It pumps the liquid nitrogen in and immediately you feel a bit of a cold sensation. As you get colder, your body begins to vasoconstrict, keeping all the warm blood around all of the key internal organs. This is the same super oxygenated blood that will be released throughout your body once you step out of the chamber - distributing all of the nutrient rich blood to your sore and tired muscles. In this insane Austin heat, it feels a little bit like sticking your face into the freezer after a hot, sweaty run. Glorious. It feels good for about a minute and then you realize it's damn cold. I've found that it helps to bounce around a bit in the chamber to keep the blood flowing in your legs. It might also help to complain and whine a bit about how cold it is, how much you time you have left, and how much you don't like the cold. But maybe that's also just me.
In reality, the experience is pleasant. In each of the different times that I've tried the therapy, I've found that different parts of my body react differently. On my first time, I was acutely aware of how cold my hip bones were. On the most recent, it was my arms that felt the most numb.
But here's what everyone wants to know: Does it work?
I'm a big proponent of the recovery day. I tell my athletes this constantly. Take a day off - rest - recover. Rest days aren't meant to be days to go for a "short jog" or a "quick yoga session." Sit down. And I think that the cryotherapy works into that greatly.
I went in to my sessions with Restore on several different occasions: post-workout & on recovery days. I can definitely say that I could tell a big difference in my muscle soreness the remainder of the day and the following day. The three minutes doesn't seem very long, but I was able to feel a big difference almost as soon as I was finished. And the next day, I felt even better! My usual stiffness had receded and I felt fresh! After the most recent cryotherapy session, I hit a new squat snatch PR of 90 the next day! I would definitely say that that is a win. I also have it on good account (thanks for the tip Chuck!), that a dual session of the Normatec recovery boots (I can't rave enough about these1) followed by a freeze (aptly named the "Squeeze & Freeze" by Mark Goldberg) makes for one of the best recoveries. Definitely on my list to try!
What they say about revving up your metabolism is also true! Due to a large amount of energy being used to regulate the body's temperature, a cryotherapy session can increase the number of calories burned. While I can't attest to that exact science, I can say that I was ravenous the rest of the day! A perfect way to refuel on a rest day!
Another added benefit to cryotherapy - besides the metabolic increases and inflammation reduction - is the increased quality of sleep! I slept like an absolute baby after my second therapy session.
As with anything, I think it's important to stay on a regimen with recovery. There are plenty of benefits from cryotherapy, but I think that maintaining a schedule and going frequently is going to give you the best results. I love that it only takes a few minutes, so it's incredibly easy to schedule -even in my busy daily life! It is definitely something that I will be adding and keeping into my recovery routine and I hope to see where it leads!

Trump slammed for policies on immigrant children, and UN
President Trump came under fire this week for a series of policy slips ranging from the mishandling of immigrant children to his administration's rejection of the fundamental principles of human rights. Ironically, the mishandling and abuse of immigrant children at the border is in fact a human rights issues that Trump can no longer address. But how is he worse that Duckworth and the Democrats?
By Ray Hanania
America's racist UN Ambassador Nikki Haley announced this week that she was withdrawing the United States from the important United Nations Human Rights Council, while her boss President Trump closed his eyes to the suffering of immigrant children at America's borders.
Meanwhile, Trump's critics, Democratic hypocrites, denounced Trump, but stopped short of denouncing Israel.
In other words, it's wrong to withdraw from the United Nations Human Rights Council but it's not wrong to close America's moral eyes to the mass murders committed in Gaza by Israel's military.
The withdrawal is prompted by her blindness to human rights violations by Israel against Palestinian civilians. More Palestinian civilians have been killed as a result of human rights violations by Israel's Apartheid Government int he past decade than any other people on the planet.
But according to Nikki Haley, the criticism of Israel's murder of civilians more than 150 in the past six weeks and the maiming of more than 20,000 during the same period is not a human rights issue. The truth is that Haley represents a rejection of international human rights and an embrace of fascism, as long as fascism reflects her political agenda of protecting apartheid military regimes.
Like many Democratic officials who have attacked Trump, however, U.S. Senator Tammy Duckworth issued a statement that denounced Trump's withdrawal from the UN Human Rights Commission but then shrieked in fright at the idea of criticizing — aghast! — Israel, a foreign country.
Duckworth is much like most of the Democrats who claim that Trump is a fascist extremist who is racist, sexist and discriminates against foreigners who enter the country illegally. The Democrats are the same or worse.
How can Duckworth attack Trump for withdrawing from the UN Human Rights Council and then defend Israel's atrocities against Palestinian civilians in the Gaza Strip who have been killed by Israeli soldiers hiding behind bunkers on Israel's side of the border with Gaza using high powered rifles? All of the civilians killed, more than 150 in the past eight weeks, have been killed while protesting on the Gaza side of the Israeli border.
Among those killed intentionally by Israeli soldiers who scoped them out and fired single bullets into the victim's heads were a dozen children and one female nurse who was treating some of the more than 20,000 civilians who have injured or maimed by the carnival-like killing atmosphere Israel's government has created along the border.
Israeli civilians actually bring lunch and picnic blankets and sit on their side of the border and cheer each time a Palestinian's head explodes in blood when hit by an Israeli high powered sniper shot.
Here is Duckworth's hypocritical statement, suggesting that she is no better than Trump and that her protests are in fact worse because she claims the moral high ground over Trump:
Duckworth Statement on Trump's Withdrawal from U.N. Human Rights Council
In response to the Trump Administration's announcement that they are withdrawing from the United Nations Human Rights Council one day after it criticized Donald Trump's inhumane policy of separating asylum-seeking parents from their children, U.S. Senator Tammy Duckworth (D-IL) released the following statement:
"The United States has long been the world's conscience, playing a leading in role in promoting human rights around the globe. Under Donald Trump, that is clearly no longer the case. Our President embraces dictators and tyrants who have murdered and abused their people. He elevates officials in our government who authorized and enabled the indefensible and illegal use of torture. Now, his administration is withdrawing from the UN Human Rights Council one day after it criticized Trump's inhumane policy of tearing thousands of families apart and intentionally inflicting trauma on children and parents seeking asylum.
"We know the UN Human Rights Council is far from perfect. It has long ignored the human rights abuses of its members and I have been critical of its mistreatment of our ally, Israel. But America withdrawing from the council does not make the world a better place, it only reduces our nation's ability to affect change and improve the conditions of the people living under oppressive regimes. This decision also causes further damage to our country's standing and sends another signal that we have abandoned the values that made America the envy of the world."
Another hypocritical group is called "Refuse Fascism which released the following statement denouncing Trump's policies against immigrants but remained silent on civilians murdered by Israeli military snipers:
The horrendous obscenity of a regime ripping children from their parents, put in cages, or locked up in tent cities; the demonization, criminalization, and hunting down of immigrants across the country; vilifying them as "animals"; and denying asylum even to women who are fleeing domestic abuse and battery:
ALL THIS HAS GOT TO STOP and it has got to STOP NOW. Everyone with a conscience and any humanity should join or organize protests NOW.
Waiting for Mueller or the elections ignores the determination of these fascists to shatter these normal channels. Waiting means thousands more children stolen from desperate parents! Waiting til November means losing our humanity!
In the Name of Humanity,
We REFUSE to Accept
a Fascist America!
This Nightmare Must End:
The Trump/Pence Regime Must Go!

Ah, Spring. No fever. No cold. H.o.p. is miserable with allergies.
I asked H.o.p.'s permission first before I took the 2 photos, expecting a, "No, I'm sick." Instead, he gave a small smile and nodded his head yes, then returned to napping. He's been out all day. The television is on, tuned to Turner Classic Movies, and he hasn't even cared what's playing, even though it's all old films. Once, when he had his eyes vaguely open and on the screen, I asked, "Would you like to watch something else?" He shook his head neither here nor there, held a handful of Kleenex to his face, blew his noise, then passed out again.
iPhone Hipstamatic capture run through the Lo-mob app. With this one I then took it into Photoshop to do some postprocessing.

H.o.p., the past several years, tends to only nap on the futon when he's not feeling well. A reason I was hoping for a photo is because, at 12, his profile still looks remarkably like it did at the age of 6, when I took the below photo.

Course Reserve Policies & Procedures
Florida Gulf Coast University Library provides Course Reserve Services to facilitate access to supplemental reading material for students enrolled in classes taught by FGCU faculty. This Course Reserve Policy provides information on the regulations and processing procedures governing the acceptance and circulation of reserve material. Justification for exceptions to these guidelines must be submitted in writing to the Course Reserve Manager at email@example.com.
Placing Items on Course Reserve
FGCU faculty and instructors may submit materials to be placed in the course reserve collection for classes being held in the current or upcoming semester. A completed reserve request form must be submitted for each title to be placed in the collection.
When multiple instructors request that the same item be placed on reserve during a semester, the item will be listed in the course reserve database under the name and course number of each instructor. The item will be given the shortest selected loan period.
In order to assure prompt processing of items requested for the Reserve Collection, faculty/instructors should follow these procedures:
Books, Media Materials, etc.
- Provide an accurate bibliographic citation and call number from the Library online catalog. If item is not owned by Library, search for citation in a bibliographic source, such as WorldCat or Books Print, to facilitate Library purchase of the item.
- Complete the appropriate Course Reserve Request Form for Books or Media
- When Request Form is presented along with the item at the Circulation Desk, processing time is reduced.
Articles, Book Chapters, etc.
- Provide accurate bibliographic citation from the Library's online catalog. Also include volume number, issue, and page numbers of the article.
- Complete the appropriate Course Reserve Request Form for Articles or Book Chapters
Note: Items which are accessible through the Library's electronic resources, we will send a link to the instructor to forward to their students.
Loan Periods
Faculty may select a loan period for the circulation of the reserve material from the following:
2-hours (in-library use only)
3-hours (in-library use only)
1 day, 2 days, 3 days, or 7 days
Selection should be based on length of readings and class size. This loan period will not be changed during the semester. Photocopied articles in hard copy circulate for the 2-hour loan period only. All Course Reserve and Permanent Reserve materials circulate to non-FGCU affiliates for 2-hour loan period, in-library-use only.
Check-out limits
No more than two reserve items per course may be charged out to a single borrower at one time. (Exception: book sets, or items comprised of several pieces that must be used together).
Personally Owned Materials
- Items will be marked or labeled for identification and circulation purposes.
- Owner must surrender control of the item to the Library during the period the item is held in the Reserve Collection.
- While every effort will be made to safeguard materials, the library will not be held responsible for any damage, theft, or loss of personal items placed in the Reserve Collection.
Material Not Eligible for Course Reserve
- Reproduced articles, book chapters, audio or visual materials that exceed the fair use provisions as outlined in the Guidelines for Classroom Copying of Books and Periodicals
- Materials grouped together so as to constitute an anthology of works. Such "course packets are not in compliance with "fair use" provisions of copyright law or guidelines. Written evidence of permission from all copyright holders and proof of payment of royalty fees is required. Faculty may use the services of the Campus Bookstore to legally produce Course Packets
- Materials not owned by the FGCU Library, or the requesting faculty member without explicit written consent from the property owner
- Materials borrowed from another library (Interlibrary Loan items)
- Items that are too bulky, heavy, or oddly shaped that they are not conducive to appropriate processing, labeling, handling, shelving or circulating
- Media materials that require equipment or software for use that is not owned or supported by the Library
Copyright Compliance
The FGCU Library determines copyright compliance based on the Guidelines for Classroom Copying agreed to by the Association of American Publishers and the Author's League of America. The purpose of the guidelines is to state the minimum standards of educational fair use under Section 107 of H.R. 2223. For more complete provisions of copyright law as it pertains to copying for educational purposes see the U.S. Copyright Office's Circular 21 Reproduction of Copyrighted Works by Educators and Libraries. In addition, provisions of the Digital Millinium Copyright Act of 1998 are considered when determining compliance in the access, manipulation and use of digital materials. For more thorough explanation of copyright law refer to the Library of Congress U.S. Copyright Office website at http://www.copyright.gov. The Library will refuse any material that it deems not in compliance with copyright laws and guidelines.
Copyright Permission
Library Services will obtain copyright permissions, and pay reasonable royalty fees for items placed in the Reserve Collection. The Library uses the online service of the Copyright Clearance Center to obtain the majority of the copyright permissions. Occasionally rights holders must be contacted directly, which may delay processing the item for the Collection. Permission may or may not be granted by the copyright holder.
Copyright permission is needed when placing the following reproduced items (print or digital) in the Reserve Collection:
- Print or digital material for more than one semester
- All scanned and digitized items
- Copyrighted workbooks, tests, test booklets, or answer sheets
- Reproduced a material that exceeds the brevity guideline
Processing Time
Materials placed on reserve are usually available for use within three (3) business days after receipt. Every effort will be made to process materials and make them available in a timely manner. Factors that may affect processing time include:
- Incomplete request forms or inaccurate citations.
- Difficulties receiving permissions or locating copyright holders.
- Request Forms not accompanied by the materials.
- Materials that must be purchased by the FGCU Library.
- Untimely submission of Request Forms and materials.
Access to Course Reserve Material
Course reserves will be made available in one of two formats, hard copy or digital.
Hard-copy materials
Hard copy (printed) items are accessed through the Course Reserve database and online catalog. (Personally owned items in the Course Reserve Collection are only assessable through the Course Reserve database.) Materials are housed in the Reserve Collection at the Circulation Desk. A FGCU ID or other acceptable library card is required to borrow hard copy course reserves. (See Circulation/Borrowing Policy for more information).
Digital materials (E-Reserves)
Articles/book chapters are scanned and made available in digital form whenever possible. These titles are accessed through the Course Reserve online database.
The most recent version of Adobe Acrobat Reader is required to view items made available online in pdf format.
Removing Items from Reserve
All Course Reserve items (print and digital) are removed from the Reserve Collection at the end of each semester. Faculty may select an earlier removal through indicating an "off reserve" date on the Reserve Request Form.
Faculty may not remove materials from the Course Reserve Collection, including personal items, for later return to the Collection during the same semester. Faculty must check-out course reserve material through the normal circulating process, adhering to the designated loan period
Retaining Materials on Reserve
In order to retain reproduced or digital materials on reserve for a second semester (consecutive or not) a copyright permission must be obtained and often a royalty fee is required. Additionally, a new Reserve Request Form must be submitted, as if it is a new request. (Material need not be resubmitted provided that the new Reserve Request Form is submitted before materials are removed from the Reserve Collection at the end of the semester.)
Fines and Replacement Costs
Overdue Course Reserve materials are fined at 25 cents per hour, per item. There is no maximum overdue fine. (See Circulation/Borrowing Policy for more information on overdue fines, replacement costs and fine appeals.)

In a society where helping yourself has become the norm, it seems like fewer and fewer people still have the courage to ask someone else for help. Some people are embarrassed to ask for assistance. They are reluctant to let others know they are unable to do something.
People are afraid to ask for help for many reasons but most commonly, especially in the competitive business world, we fear someone will use our weakness to our disadvantage.
"There is an understandable fear that if you let your guard down, you'll get hurt, or that this information you don't know how to do will be used against you," said Garret Keizer, the author of Help: The Original Human Dilemma.
You may fear revealing your weak points will change your co-workers' opinion about you, or that you will lose control over the situation. After all, no one wants to appear incompetent or needy. In reality, though, you may be doing yourself more harm than good. Most people find satisfaction in helping others, and enjoy helping -- if only they are asked.
"When we support other people to be more successful, we discover opportunities for collaboration that ultimately enable us to be more successful ourselves," saidJanine Garner, author of From Me to We.
Adopt the attitude that you're giving someone the opportunity to shine while, at the same time, achieving your own goal. Here are some tips to keep in mind when you decide to ask for help.
1. Be honest
The best way to ask for help is to simply tell the other person what you need. Be honest and confident, and use a straightforward approach.
2. Choose the best method
Determine whether it is better to ask for assistance in person or through email or phone. Verbal communication is often best if your request is of a sensitive nature.
3. Watch the body language
When you ask for help in person, observe the other person's body language and gestures. These can tell you if they comfortable with your request or reluctant to help you. If they are not enthusiastic, move on as it might be best to ask someone else for assistance.
4. Pay for help
It may be easier to hire help than ask someone to help you as a favor. Since it is often difficult to get everything done on your own, hiring someone can give you time to hone the skills at which you excel.
5. Be open to receiving
When in dire need, be open to accepting assistance without feeling as if you have to return the favor or repay the debt.
6. Express gratitude
If someone helps you out, tell them you are truly grateful. Write a thank-you note, make a phone call or do something special in return.
The next time you feel like you need to ask for help, just do it. Remember, it doesn't reflect upon you as a person, or mean that you are incompetent or unprofessional. It means that you are a strong, self-confident person who is not afraid to admit that sometimes you too need the assistance and support of other people to achieve your business or personal goals.

SASKATOON - A study on dementia says improvements are needed in support for families, access to timely diagnoses and better tracking of the brain disease.
Professor Debra Morgan from the University of Saskatchewan says she was surprised to find there were a lot of patients who were not diagnosed until they ended up in long-term care.
The study tracked all new and current cases of dementia from all health regions in the province.
Between 2012 and 2013, there were almost 3,300 people diagnosed with dementia in Saskatchewan, which represents about seven in every 1,000. There were 13,000 previously diagnosed cases.
Morgan says the number of people with dementia was lower in northern and remote regions, but adds researchers aren't sure why.
Morgan says early diagnoses and early intervention can improve outcomes and make dealing with dementia much easier.
"(People) don't seek a diagnosis because they have a perception that nothing can be done and that's not true, there are medications that can help some people and services are available like respite and day programs that are specifically tailored to people with dementia that can help," she said.
Early diagnoses and treatment is particularly difficult in rural and remote areas which tend to have an older population, Morgan said.
"Providing care to people with dementia is challenging and especially in the rural communities providing a specialized service is difficult when you have sparsely populated areas and a limited number of health care providers."
Morgan also said many people were only diagnosed when they entered a nursing home.
"They never had a diagnosis that was recorded in a doctor visit or they were never prescribed medication for their dementia, so there's some issues there that suggest we need to be diagnosing people sooner."
The report also calls on the province to come up with a new strategy to deal with dementia, as well as making doctors, patients and families more aware of the disease.

Snorkeling in Hawaii was so much fun! What a cool thing
to be able to take a glimpse into the underwater world
we normally only get to imagine or see in TV. There was
so much to explore, and to think we were just in a little
cove. A drop in the bucket, so to speak. There is a whole
'nother world down there. This planet of ours is a truly
fabulous place.
We were fortunate enough to bring back so many pictures,
thanks solely to David, who did an incredible job with the
underwater camera we rented. Let's get down to it.

us to come and enjoy. What an amazing place.

By David J. Barboza
Remember that bus tour of the southern San Fernando Valley I wrote about back in April? That was part of the reconnaissance for SurveyLA's Group 4 surveys. Recon also includes the driving of every street in the survey area and quickly identifying things that appear to merit more scrutiny. Once this is done, survey teams go out and give each property a closer look. That's what I got a chance to do last week with Christine Lazzaretto and Robby Aranguren, Principal and Planning Associate respectively at Historic Resources Group (full disclosure: I also work part-time for HRG).
Our destination was Toluca Lake. Specifically, a residential area south of Riverside Drive and north of the Lakeside Golf Club. The club is aptly named, since it does indeed sit beside the lake that gives Toluca Lake its name. The district's buildings are all detached houses of varying styles and ages on large blocks, linked by a mesh of narrow, often curving streets.
The day had one overriding goal: to figure out if an area called the Toluca Lake Residential District will make the grade as a historic district as part of SurveyLA. Remember, SurveyLA isn't going to directly result in any historic designations (i.e. the formal legal recognition and protection of a historic resource by some level of government). Instead, SurveyLA is a planning tool, that can be used for many purposes, including nominating significant properties or districts for designation.
The Toluca Lake Residential District is an area that was identified in the recon phase as a potential historic district because of its Period Revival style architecture, connections with the entertainment industry, and because of the way it illustrates automobile suburbanization. The team defined a tentative period of significance for the area as well: 1923 (the date of subdivision) to 1945 (the last year of World War II). The survey team's job was to finish checking each of about 150 properties in the district to determine if each is a "contributor" or a "non-contributor" to the potential historic district.
To be a "contributor" in this case means being historically significant along the lines above and having enough historic integrity to convey that significance. According to the Secretary of the Interior, historic integrity refers to how the location, design, setting, materials, workmanship, feeling, and association of a property convey (or don't convey) its historical significance. To use an analogy, Sherlock Holmes is to historic integrity as Professor Moriarty is to alterations. If a property has too many alterations, it loses its ability to convey its significance, and will not contribute to any potential district identified as part of SurveyLA. Properties built outside the period of significance are not recorded as contributors.
The Survey Process
The process of documenting the district followed three basic steps. Public outreach and recon precede these steps:
1) Photographing a group of buildings, sometimes repeatedly in search of the best possible shot and uploading those digital photos to the Field Guide Survey System (FiGSS) GIS application on the portable computer in the car. Sometimes trees, light/shadow issues, fencing, or vehicle/pedestrian traffic can complicate survey photography. Please note that the photos used in this post were shot by the author, and were taken more quickly and at lower resolution than the actual survey photos.
2) Discussion and documentation. In this step the team compares ideas for styles or building materials that are tricky to identify, then enters data into FiGSS. Some properties were entered both as individually significant resources and separately for their status as district contributors or non-contributors. To determine contributor or non-contribuor status, much attention is paid to the degree of alteration in the structure. Properties that are entered as individual resources have more detailed architectural descriptions that include information on the following: setting, facade composition (degree of symetry), plan (shape as seen from overhead), construction (materials used on the underlying structure), cladding (material covering wall surfaces), roof type (e.g. hipped or front-gabled), roof material, roof features (e.g. dormers), porch, door and fenestration (window arrangement, style and materials).
3) Office research at a later date if necessary (e.g. to check historic Sanborn fire-insurance maps to see if a tricky property has a later addition). Follow-up documentation then occurs based on the office research.
Notable Finds
The team entered descriptions for several interesting properties that appear to be individually significant. All properties entered as individually significant are also district contributors. Some examples follow, see the captions for details:
Other Happenings
For lunch we kept things local at Sweetsalt on Riverside Drive, which was just outside the district we were surveying. I had the Champagne Chicken Salad, which was pretty interesting because it was a vegetable-based salad with grapes in it. Good stuff, but I digress 🙂
Another thing that came up in the field was "the green layer." That's the informal name for the information people submit to SurveyLA, which survey teams use in the field. It shows up as green polygons on FiGSS maps. We got a chance to use the green layer at the William Klump House. Thanks to data we got from the public, the survey team had rich background information on Klump, who was an important developer in the San Fernando Valley, especially around Toluca Lake. This house was documented individually.
At one point we came across a house that was clearly being renovated. So, how does SurveyLA approch documenting properties that are being altered at the moment the team sees them? The team photographs the property in its current state and makes a note in FiGSS that it should be surveyed at a later date. However, it is sometimes possible to tell on the spot that the alterations have compromised the building's integrity.
At another point, we had a run in with the law. An LAPD officer drove by in his patrol car and asked us what we were doing. This is something that comes up in field work from time to time. It can look a bit suspicious when people are documenting a property, taking photographs, and making notes for several minutes (don't worry, we're harmless!). When asked, survey teams explain that they are conducting an architectural survey and will provide official letters from the City of Los Angeles describing SurveyLA upon request. Survey teams do not enter private property. All survey work is done from the public right of way. Because survey teams are contractors, they don't have City of LA ID cards. Once we explained our business, the officer was even kind enough to tell us about a nearby neighborhood with properties he thought we shouldn't miss!
It was great to get out in the field and see the survey in action. If you have any information that could help survey teams evaluate properties, please let us know!

Long time ago I wanted to write this article to let everyone read this.
But I couldn't do that.
Because that time I doesn't translate Hormones The Series successfully.
Now this time is for this article!
Wow!!! That's really great to create new article that was from really Campzzz.
For my blog, if I didn't write and translate any Hormones The Series, ART BOX THAILAND articles were the most popular article in my blog. And I ever heard some news about ART BOX THAILAND was changed destination to the place that I felt very lucky due to that place is EM DISTRICT!!! That was near my workplace so when I worked off, I could walk to ART BOX THAILAND easily. That day is Friday, the first day of ART BOX THAILAND that started until new year 2016. So how differences was ART BOX THAILAND at EM DISTRICTS? Let's check it out.
From workplace to ART BOX THAILAND
After time of working off, I walked to fingerprint scanner and I verified my work time. Then I opened the glass door and walked away from office. The way I was walking to elevator looked like there are some ghost was haunting. It's really dark and some neon flashed. But… Don't worry about weird and gross things because that time was 6:00 PM. After that I pressed down button to get out of my working place building.
The elevator opened. There weren't many people as same as morning with rush hours. Every morning looked like I was playing Call Of Duty games with Hardpoint Mode that I was staying at movable elevator near to floor I was staying. For evening time, Looks like there were a few people were going back to their home. At elevator, there were many gorgeous office ladies who smiled to me sweetly. The lady who wore read cloth, white – yellow skin, straight hair, black hair color and small eyes as same as Jane were available together at building due to there are many ladies with Chinese race were working at here.
Then elevator opened to lobby floor. Looks like freedom was near. I decided to walk to toilet for changing clothes to red-black shirt. That was my favorite shirt I had ever used every event I had gone. If I went to ART BOX THAILAND with office uniform, Oh No!!! Everyone in ART BOX THAILAND would to say "hey!!! change your cloth now baby."
I got out from Interchange 21 and I was going to cross Sukhumvit street. I didn't have reason to cross the street with crossed bridge because Sukhumvit road was really narrow and crossing with zebra line is appropriate. OK, I still walked to cross area. I walked at footpath for several minutes. Looks like there were many foreign people who walked together at footpath near Sukhumvit road. There were Japanese at here. Some Japanese people carried her child and walks with her husband. Oh!!! Wasn't it heavy?
Finally I found zebra line to cross the street. Now let's cross
I ran to the island that center of Sukhumvit road. Oh!!!
Beep Beep
Holy shit!!! That aggressive driver!!
I was near accident. In Thailand, zebra lines doesn't have meaning to them. When they saw some people who were crossing the street, they drove their car very fast and didn't allow people who were crossing to cross the street. Another foreign people (often on Japanese) blamed about drivers in Thailand that never allowed people who were crossing the street crossed successfully. If they had a child, were they ruthless to kill somebody?
This wasn't first time I was near accident, but this was seventh time that I felt frightened when I crossed the street.
Finally I could cross this damned street successfully.
I walked from my workplace to EM DISTRICT with near 1 Km. That wasn't far. There were many people who were walking at here. But looked like students from Sainamphung school, the school that have only girl students. Beside of footpath to ART BOX THAILAND have many signs that told about gorgeous identity of EM DISTRICT. This place was in an operation to build something but stayed at EM District. Some rumor ever told me about this place that ART BOX THAILAND was staying is the place of EMSPHERE, department store from the concept that was preparing to build after the success of EmQuartier.
Finally I had walked to this target places. ART BOX at THE EM DISTRICT
ART BOX THAILAND at THE EM DISTRICT still used concept about using containers to be a property at their flea market. This was very individual. Actually concept about flea market at urban places was created from INTHEBOX, but INTHEBOX is so small and that was selling fashion stuffs. Then ART BOX THAILAND was created with "enormous flea market in the center of urban." Not only containers, at the ground was put with many small rocks to be more beautiful to look. At containers you must pay 5 Baht to enter. What the heck? But they had reason of this.
Why this containers were beautiful? Because 5 Baht you paid to stuff was the money to fix some dirty area and cleaned this place. So didn't blame about having cost to enter.
At THE EM DISTRICTS, There weren't have the tree of life as same as QSNCC. But it substituted with the green light of life. Ah…. That was really good.
Next paragraph I won't write much. So let's looks pictures from ART BOX THAILAND NOW!
I don't have comment about fashion zone because at that time I was paying attention to food zone. Then ART BOX THAILAND @ THE EM DISTRICT also had concert that you can reserve some seats and can eat, listen live music together.
Finally I walked to food zone from ART BOX THAILAND. You should know first about food zone from this flea market is really expensive due to every cafe/shops they put some creativeness to their products. That idea was same as Japanese. Why Japanese products was so expensive? Because owners put their heart of paying attention to their products certainly.
Looks like there were many couples walked together. This place wasn't focused to couple much. This was the flea market of single people.
So if you wanted to eat some foods in ART BOX THAILAND, I recommended to eat some foods that really freak, unusual and rare to find at another place. But looks like I had 1 meal and 1 drink to let you know. That was really delicious and healthy.
First, Japanese meal food truck "Kofuku"
Actually I didn't want to eat at this food truck much, but waitress was cheering me a lot about rice with curry that was really delicious.
When I walked to Kofuku. There were many people that was walking at ART BOX THAILAND. Ah… But Kofuku was my choice to go due to nobody was sitting at here. So I put my bags to the seat. Then waitress walked to me.
"What menu do you want?" Gorgeous waitress asks me with her cheerful feeling. Ah… I was hungry!!! So I picked the menu and looked to the most interested menu from that paper chart. Ah…
Tonkatsu Curry!
Looks like Japanese design have 2 types. If isn't calm, it maybe colorful and a lot of texts!
🕛 4 minutes later 🕐
"Here. That is 75 Baht." Waitress served that Tonkatsu Curry to me and I paid this to waitress. For this food truck, you must pay first before you eat. That was really instant.
OK. That curry smells made acid in my stomach activated. And that time I was really hungry. so every meal or foods I thought that was really delicious.
Tonkatsu curry is used paper dish that was easier that uses ceramic dishes because food trucks might not have washing dishes system. So using paper dishes was suitable and it could save the world for being enabled to recycling. (except spoon and fork that was made from plastic).
Wow!!! Looks like this attracted me a lot. Ready to eat…
First feeling when I eat this is…
Holy shit!! That is really fucking delicious!
I was honest to say about… Japanese meals was really great. No menus made me felt disappointed. But Japanese menus were really fucking expensive. If you want to eat quality, see Japanese food.
For 75 Baht I paid to this food truck, looked like that was really worth. Actually 75 Baht I paid was really cheap because another meal was really fucking and insane expensive. (Started to 100 Baht.)
Second, B.B.Q. at Grill Now
Looks like this was the cheapest food in Art Box Thailand with price 30 Baht. It was a BBQ with pork. So what taste was if good? Let's check it out.
I bought a BBQ from this shop. She gives a paper cup with BBQ to me. Looks like design from this shop isn't cool much. No No No… No design at here. But I didn't care what design of this product, I cared about taste from this BBQ more than everything.
After I paid money to merchant, I got a cup of BBQ. I picked BBQ from the cup and I ate it immediately.
Feeling when I ate it was…
….. !!!?
No comment about this. Because it looked like BBQ near my home. Taste from this BBQ is really same, ordinal, standard. I really disappointed about this BBQ. It should be 10-15 Baht, not 30 Baht. Reason I wanted some expensive things from this flea market is "I want something that was amazing and unpredictable." For this BBQ, I felt disappointed.
Finally "F****** berry smoothie!"
Yes, in Thai was called "โครตเบอร์รี่". "โคตร" or "โครต" was meant "fucking" as adjective. So this smoothie I wanted to drinks was "Fucking berry!"
After I was tired to find another interested food, someone yelled me to cheer buying. Oh!!! That made me frightened. After that I still find, find and find another interested food that shouldn't be expensive more than 100 Baht. Among of crowd, I couldn't decided immediately.
Finally I found interested food, but it was really expensive. That was really premium quality if I eat. I thought premium quality should be only gadgets, not of any foods.
"Why this flea market is so expensive." I blamed myself and kept seeking another shop.
But one thing I couldn't lie to you
This flea market wasn't made for single people.
That was reality of ART BOX THAILAND. It was really great dating place. There was some mini concert, so this should be great dating place too.
Finally… I found some shop that have interested smoothie name. It's "Fucking berry." Fucking berry was a smoothie that mixed with many berry fruits to be the healthy drink. Looked like this was interested for me. Long time ago I didn't eat some berry fruits. So now this was my opportunity to eat them!
"Hi, I want 1 glass of fucking berry" If this menu was available outside Thailand, that name maybe banned. But for me, Fucking berry had name that I wanted to interest immediately. Looks like that was miracle.
The appearances from fucking berry was red smoothie from berry fruits. After doing smoothie, they put some pieces of berry fruits from their refrigerator to be topping. There were many lovely berry fruits that was topped such as strawberry, blueberry, etc. But before topping with piece of berry fruits, they topped with yogurt first.
Ah… That was really love to eat. That strawberry was really big. I wanted to try this now.
When I sucked that fucking berry I felt.
Holy shit!!! the precious smoothie that was valuable as diamond was available in this world!
Although I talked too much, but it's real, real and very fucking real. From my life, this was first time I saw the most precious smoothie. This smoothie made me remember it forever.
Not only very high healthy, quantity from this fucking berry is very high too. Time usages of drinking this smoothie was more than 20 minutes. That was very worth to buy at ART BOX THAILAND!!
After I was impressive to fucking berry smoothie, I still sought more delicious and freak foods at ART BOX THAILAND. Ah… This time was 20:00 hrs. There were many people at here. More crowd and I walked, I crashed to another people!! Oh… I'm sorry.
Looks like ART BOX THAILAND wasn't my favorite place. I might change my destination… NOW!
20 minutes later…
I walked from ART BOX THAILAND to EmQuartier. Looks like my fucking berry smoothies was empty. Ah…. I may come to my home.
Looks like ART BOX THAILAND at The EM District made me disappointed about… No cheesy ball sold at here. I missed it very much. But advantages from this was near at my workplace. Looks like I will come to this place every Friday. I really love it and this place was my new destination that substitute from Siam Square. It looked like the paradise of the nighttime.
I recommend you to go to this place if your workplace is near ART BOX THAILAND.
But if your workplace, school, university wasn't near ART BOX THAILAND, I didn't recommend to go that because at THE EM DISTRICT was placed at the center of area that has many problems about traffic.
Tonkatsu curry : 10/10
F****** berry smoothie : 10/10

Home sweet home: Seven local volleyball teams open playoffs on home court
Matt Thissen's been burned before.
Every year, the Golden Valley volleyball coach tries to crack the Sac-Joaquin Section's power rating formula, hoping to see which playoff seed his team has earned.
The section seeding committee uses the ratings as a playoff seeding guide.
However, they often will juggle teams around for different reasons.
For instance, the committee tries to award outright league champs with a first-round home playoff game.
The section also avoids matching up two teams from the same league in the first round.
"There have been a couple occasions in volleyball and basketball, where we didn't get the seed we earned," Thissen said.
"You kind of have to hope and see what happens. This time, it was a little bit of a relief."
Golden Valley (15-2) will enter the Division I playoffs as the No. 3 seed on Tuesday when it hosts Stockton Edison at 7 p.m.
Golden Valley was one of seven area teams to qualify for the Sac-Joaquin Section playoffs. All seven earned a first-round home game on Tuesday night.
In Division II, No. 5 Buhach Colony (14-2) will host No. 12 Rio Americano, and No. 8 Atwater (12-3) opens up against No. 9 Pleasant Grove.
One of the more intriguing matchups in the Division IV bracket is No. 12 Escalon visiting No. 5 Hilmar.
Other local Division IV matchups include: No. 10 Capital Christian at No. 7 Mariposa and No. 9 Loretto opening against No. 8 Le Grand.
Stone Ridge Christian earned the top seed of any area team with a No. 2 seed in Division V. SRC will host No. 15 Valley Christian.
Thissen knew a fall to No. 4 would have meant being placed on the same half of the bracket as top seed Nevada Union, which has won six straight section titles.
"We've made that trip to NU three times," Thissen said. "Two times it wasn't pretty at all. One time we had a chance.
"It's nice to know if we're fortunate enough to play Nevada Union it will be in the finals on a neutral court."

Private sector development and dealing with the changing business environment were the main topics of the opening panel of the European Bank of Reconstruction and Developments (EBRD) 24th Annual Meeting held on May 14. Bringing together executives and entrepreneurs from the EBRD region with foreign investment capital, the panel, The (R)evolutionary Road: Company Stories Made Real, summarized what these changes meant for businesses, and how they navigated through adversities and overcame obstacles.
EBRD President Suma Chakrabati opened the Business Forum with a keynote speech reflecting upon what the private sector needs from public institutions coming from the Banks experience and setting out the EBRDs response to the challenges ahead.
While speaking about achieving success in businesses, Chakrabati noted that leadership and favorable policy regulations are some of the most important principles. And in order to promote investments and improve the business climate in Georgia, EBRD and the Georgian Government signed a memorandum of understanding to form the Investors Council in Georgia.
The panel featured entrepreneurs of different fields, who individually shared their success stories with the audience. For instance, Vaja Jhenti, the President and CEO of Trans-Oil Group, recalled that the Trans-Oil Group of Companies started its grain and agro trading activities in Moldova and Ukraine in 1996. At that time no one believed in that. [The success] is all about the vision and taking risks, he noted adding, that challenges come every day, sometimes unexpectedly and you need to know how to deal with them.
Full Story...
Aiming to discuss the growing need for companies to innovate and embrace diversity within their organizations, the EBRDs Annual Meeting brought together representatives of politics, business and research institutions at the Driving Change: Gender-Responsive Practices in Business panel on May 14. Companies who carry out gender-responsive practices achieve effective and efficient positioning in the market, stated the participants.
According to the Women Matter report of 2013 by McKinseys, the corporate culture plays a pivotal part in developing gender diversity at senior levels of corporations. The study shows that corporate culture is as significant as an individual point of view in whether women believe they can succeed.
Designed to assist women to manage and grow their own small and medium-size enterprises, the EBRD created a Women in Business program providing credit lines and offering customized advice for women entrepreneurs. Thus, the topic has been a main feature of the Business Forum since 2002, attracting more and more participants and attendees each year.

To live a Thriving lifestyle is to take back control of your life from intrusive symptoms, anxiety, stress, phobias, and any limiting beliefs which have a negative impact upon your health, happiness and success. To truly Thrive, however, is not only about living free from symptoms, it encompasses far more than that.
Through exploring your psychological foundations and developing self-efficacy, symptom resolve is encouraged as a positive accomplishment in learning to Thrive. As many people suffering from common psychological and health-related conditions maintain the disempowering belief that their symptoms are happening to them, consequently they often feel completely powerless to improve their situation. The Programme challenges this perception, teaching you how to manage your thoughts, emotions and beliefs, so that you are in control of your life.
Thrive Programme courses require weekly commitment, and help to keep up momentum in following the structural learning process, ensuring you are putting in persistent and continuous effort. Through gaining a further degree of self insight, you will feel more motivated to question yourself in applying your new found knowledge of how symptoms are created and maintained. Research proves you are more likely to engage your skills and put in determined effort, if you have belief in your internal resources and are confident in your ability to challenge and achieve.
What is so unique about The Thrive Programme?
Although many other training courses and techniques do focus upon some similar concepts to Thrive, most do not explore to the same degree of detail the underlying fundamentals, nor do they integrate the knowledge in such a comprehensive manner.
The Programme's success is due to the combination of gaining incredible depth and clarification into your psychological behaviour, your thoughts and decisions, accompanied with specific techniques and exercises practised in between sessions, which are absorbed with internal responsibility and positivity.
The Thrive Programme is delivered in an empowering way and is easy to understand with all information backed by established research, and examples given.
Its continued success in progressive practice is evidential with the submission of hundreds of testimonials from Thriving clients!

5 Ways to Love Like it's Your Last Day on Earth
"Relish love in your old age! Aged love is like aged wine; it becomes more satisfying, more refreshing, more valuable, more appreciated and more intoxicating!" -Leo Buscaglia
This article is dedicated to Lindsey's grandfather, James Melvin "Mel" Dalton, who passed away at the age of 91, on Sunday, March 24, 2013. His funeral was this past weekend.
Sometimes people believe that it isn't as bad when an "old" person passes away because that person has "lived" their lives. The flip side to this, however, is that they've had more time to make an impact on the hearts of their loved ones.
Lindsey's grandpa and grandma have been side by side for 64 years! And through these 64 years, they have been relationship role models for Lindsey, and more recently, for David too.
In a time when we are surrounded by many broken, superficial, or unhealthy relationships, it can be very powerful to identify relationship mentors/role models in our lives. What made their relationship so powerful, especially as they grew older, was that they lived by the following principle:
Live like it's your last day on earth… No. Love like it's your last day on earth.
That doesn't mean to love carelessly. It means to learn to forgive, to let go of the little things, and to focus on appreciation. Lindsey's grandparents achieved this kind of congruence through hard work and dedication to love.
With that framework in mind, we've learned 5 keys to enhance Relationship Zen:
1. Create shared experiences/rituals
Do you share recurring experiences that are unique and unifying? Some examples are sharing your favourite tea and cookies together, grabbing some lunch and sitting in a park, appreciating the sunlight on a porch, going for drives or walks, and making bedtime and the morning a sacred time for your relationship.
2. Create shared language/symbols
In your day-to-day conversations, do you share positive stories or symbols that are unique to your relationship? Or, do you tend to bring up the times when your partner was disappointing? Or, the last time they did something that made you angry? The Daltons regularly shared positive memories and stories with each other – Lindsey's grandparents constantly reminisced about happy moments. This allowed them to return to the present with even more appreciation for each other. Did you know that when you recount a good memory your brain actually releases the same happy hormones that it had when the experience occurred?
3. Make laughter a larger part of your dialogue
Are you getting an appropriate dose of positive laughter? Or, have most of your conversations become a little boring and repetitive? Lindsey's grandmother loves comics and this is something that would make them laugh together when she would read them out loud. Her grandparents both had an amazing sense of humour that kept them (and others!) laughing. Even when struggling to take breaths in the hospital, Lindsey's grandpa still made us laugh. This kind of laughter is disarming, heart-warming, and unifying.
4. Focus on high value interaction
Do you spend "quality" time engaging in conversation and doing team activities? Or, do you spend most of your time "together" in a passive or non-engaged/connected way? Lindsey's grandparents would rarely be in their private worlds when they were together (whether hooked onto the phone, computer, newspaper, TV, etc) – they certainly focused on each other. Remember, being present is one of the easiest and most impactful gifts that you can give to yourself and to others.
5. Exude care
This is difficult to describe because it's felt intuitively. Care is the result of a deep appreciation for the other. Care is often demonstrated through action, not through words. Lindsey's grandparents were continuously looking out for each other's best interest, safety, and health. Her grandfather, in old age and with multiple health conditions, would go down to the basement to grab things that her grandmother needed because she has arthritis… even if it took him twice as long to do so! This didn't come from a fear or insecurity – they balanced each other out and really cared for each other in every sense of the word. Cute eh?
We hope that you're able relate to some of the concepts. Although they may seem like "common sense", if you look around they aren't so "common".
James Melvin Dalton always said: "We must have done something right!" Well, grandpa Dalton, I think that's the understatement of the century. You and Grammie have shown us what love in this world can look like and we will honour it to the best of our ability. Thank you.
RIP Grandpa.
Thanks for reading everyone. As usual, please continue the conversation on Facebook or in the comment section below.

Jeremy and Chase
Jeremy Cousins and Chase Zacha are not the first guys that you would expect to be running a CrossFit Affiliate, and they wouldn't have it any other way. After becoming friends in CrossFit, they explored various other forms of fitness and fun including mountain biking, rock-climbing, hiking, and even Spikeball. It was these events that led them to the realization that fitness should be fun, plain and simple. CrossFit is a great way to get in shape and feel better, but it doesn't stop there. Jeremy and Chase wholeheartedly stand by the notion that there is a life to be lived and we are meant to go out and live it. They are the first to encourage you to go out and climb a mountain, get in the ocean, run a marathon, or simply go outside and play with your kids. They have set up CrossFit Thousand Oaks to aid you in your quest for a fun and fit life. Don't worry though, they're still not afraid to throw around some barbells, drag some tires, and push themselves to the limit inside the gym. Jeremy is the Head-Coach, so you'll typically find him leading classes and telling lame jokes. Chase is behind the scenes handling the business side of things but also loves to throw down with his friends in class. Along with their awesome team of coaches, they have set up CFTO to be a hub for community fitness at it finest.

This recipe is so easy I was hesitant about posting it. It's just toasted bread, cheese and a dollop of jelly after all. Then I remembered the number of times this simple combination has saved me when I needed an easy appetizer of a dinner party or a simple late-night snack.
There must be at least one or two people out there who will appreciate the simplicity of this recipe. You're out there right? If you are, clap your hands and scream, "I'm here! I'm here!"
A little louder, I can't quite hear you.

Tropical Gardening Helpline: Hawaii Tropical Fruit Growers Conference offers knowledge by the bushel
Leonard asks: I would like to expand my edible garden a bit and was thinking of growing some fruit. Any suggestions on what grows best here? I'm at about 1,000 feet elevation above Kailua-Kona.
Tropical Gardener answer: Lots of wonderful tropical fruits will grow well at your location. You might consider starting with a few easy ones. Meyer lemons are always a good choice. Strawberry papayas are tasty and produce fruit within a year as do bananas. The apple banana is especially tasty. At your elevation, most mango and avocado varieties will also do well. Grafted trees can be at full production within five years.
If you want to try growing some more exotic tropical fruit you might want to attend the upcoming Hawaii Tropical Fruit Growers Conference. The theme this year is Bringing It All Together and will feature some excellent speakers and breakout sessions.
This year's festival will be held on Oahu at Leeward Community College in Pearl City starting at 9 a.m. Thursday with several farm and nursery tours. Registration at the College is Thursday evening starting at 5 p.m. A pupu party is scheduled 6-7 p.m. followed by the keynote speech by Peter Salleras from Australia.
Peter and his wife, Alison, own and operate the 220-acre Fruit Forest Farm in Queensland where they have about 10 acres planted in tropical fruit trees. Peter will talk about his passion for the efficient growing and packaging as well as the profitable marketing of the fruit he grows. Hawaiian fruit growers will definitely come away with some good ideas.
Starting at 7 a.m. on Friday, attendees may review the trade show and network among themselves before the presentations by HTFG, UH and Leeward Community College personnel on agricultural updates begin in Lecture Hall 201B. After lunch, a series of short informational sessions on a variety of topics of interest to tropical fruit growers will take place. Friday's dinner speaker will be Mike Gabbard from our state Legislature.
The lecture hall will open early again on Saturday for the trade show and networking. Breakout sessions on topics relating to tropical fruit growing will begin at 8 a.m. with a talk on avocado rootstocks at 10. Following that, more breakouts will be offered. After lunch, Steve Murray will share his passion for growing fruit commercially.
Steve is a fifth generation farmer who grew up on Murray Family Farms located near Arvin, at the southern end of California's Central Valley. His onsite research facility holds over 500 species and 2,000 varieties of rare fruit. Steve is a vendor at five or six farmers markets a week and was voted top farmer at the Santa Monica market. He is a rare fruit enthusiast and will doubtless share his enthusiasm and lots of information with attendees.
Breakout sessions on relevant topics will round out Saturday's schedule with a networking and wrap up dinner planned for Saturday night.
A series of mini-conferences are planned for the following week on the neighbor islands. Speakers Peter Salleras and Steve Murray will travel to Kauai on Monday, September 24. They will be on Molokai on Tuesday, on Maui on Wednesday, in Hilo on Thursday and in Kona on Friday.
The Kona mini conference on Friday will be a special meeting of the Kona Chapter of the Hawaii Tropical Fruit Growers. At 9:30 a.m. folks will meet at the HTFG office in Kealakekua at 81-6393 Mamalahoa Highway and car pool to Gerry Walsh's new orchard. The group will tour the orchard and learn about the work Gerry's is doing there. By 1 p.m. guests Peter Salleras and Steve Murray will be on hand at the HTFG office to speak and answer questions.
A complete schedule and an opportunity to register for the conference are available at http://hawaiitropicalfruitgrowers.org/28th_Annual_HTFG_Conference_Agenda.pdf.
If you can't attend the conference but would like information about fruit trees that are available locally, go to the Plant It Hawaii website at https://www.plantithawaii.com/fruit-variety-guide. It has lots of information that you might find helpful. Their annual sale in Hilo is on Nov. 2-3. If you can't make that, you can get trees from Tropical Edibles Nursery in Captain Cook. Give them a call at 328-0420 and see what they have or can order for you.
Email plant questions to firstname.lastname@example.com for answers by Certified Master Gardeners. Some questions will be chosen for inclusion in this column.

It is scary to see how invasive vines are taking over huge amounts of land on the Big Island. And it isn't just one vine, there are several. I don't see any way to combat these awful plants. Anyone got any ideas? There are huge areas of land that have been essentially lost on other islands and it is happening here now too. This is worse than any other invading plants I have ever seen. It does not seem to even be an issue being discussed by the DOA. Maybe they just have given up. Just open your eyes as you drive on Mamalahoa Hwy and note the areas lost to those vines. It is only going to get worse, and quickly.
