IT ISN'T often th.t a 24‐year‐old minor government functionary gets a chance to say no to a President of the United States. But that is what happened seven years ago, when Richard Blumenthal, then the White House choice for director of the Volunteers in Service to America (VISTA) rejected the appointment because of sharp disagreetnent with President Richard M.Nixon's Indochina and domestic policies.
Now at the relatively ripe age of 31, Mr. Blumenthal is the new United States Attorney for Connecticut.
Asked what he saw as his role in his new office, Mr. Blumenthal said:
"My role will be that I am the chief law‐enforcement attorney and chief litigator for the United States Government in Connecticut. As to policies and priorities, I will be making those decisions after I have had a chance to talk with officials in the Justice Department and with individuals who are now in the United States Attorney's Office in Connecticut."
Mr. Blumenthal is succeeding Peter C. Dorsey, a 46‐year‐old Republican who resigned recently after three years on the job, charging that President Carter had not honored a promise to keep politics out of the Justice Department. Mr. Dorsey blamed "political considerations" for his replacement before the expiration of his four‐year term.
Mr. Blumenthal was interviewed earlier this month, before being sworn in to his new $41,500‐a‐year position, in his small, monastic office at the Stamford headquarters of Cummings & Lockwood, one of the largest and most prestigious law firms in New England. One of its founders 77 years ago was Homer Cummings, who was to become Attorney General under President Franklin D. Roosevelt. The firm employs 73 lawyers, who occupy most of the sevenstory building at 1 Atlantic Street in the center of Stamford's business district.
A sun‐tanned 6‐footer, Mr. Blumenthal, who confessed to playing. "a lot of tennis," jogging and swimming a mile a day at the local "Y," Mr. Blumenthal wore a conservatively cut, dark‐gray pinstripe suit tailored by J. Press, a light‐blue shirt and a dark‐green figured tie.
Mr. Blumenthal was born in New York City on Feb. 13, 1946. His father, Martin, a native of Germany, is a partner in a commodities brokerage firm. His mother, the former Jane Rosenstock, a graduate of Radcliffe College, died in 1969. His 28‐year‐old brother, David, is a physician who has just completed his internship at Massachusetts General Hospital in Boston and is now working on public‐health issues for Senator Edward M. Kennedy of Massachusetts.
After attending the Riverdale Country School in New York, Mr. Blumenthal entered Harvard College in 1963, gradu ated four years later with a bachelor's degree, magna cum laude and with a Phi Beta Kappa key. He was editorial chairman of The Harvard Crimson and a member of the varsity swimming team.
While a senior at Harvard, Mr. Blumenthal decided to focus his honors thesis on the community‐action program of the Office of Economic Opportunity. The faculty member who supervised his work was Daniel Patrick Moynihan, who is now the Democratic junior Senator from New York.
After spending the summer of 1966 as a reporter‐intern at The Washington Post, Mr. Blumenthal, armed with a fellowship from Harvard, studied at Trinity College, Cambridge, England, and then became a member of The Post's London bureau. In December 1968, Mr. Moynihan joined President Nixon's White House staff as what was described then as its "liberal in residence," and counselor to the President. Soon after, Mr. Moynihan invited Mr. Blumenthal to join him as a staff assistant to the President.
The Administration's antipoverty programs engaged much of Mr. Blumenthal's time, and he also acted as liaison between the White House and the Mayor of Washington.
On July 14,1970, The New York Times, in an article from Washington, said in effect that the White House had chosen Mr. Blumenthal to become director of VISTA, the domestic counterpart to the Peace Corps, in the hope that he could help convince young dissidents that the Administration was mindful of their concerns about war, racism and poverty.
The article reported that authoritative sources had said that Mr. Blumenthal had told the White House that he could not accept the post because he would not be able to express loyalty to Mr. Nixon's programs. Mr. Blumenthal, according to the authoritative sources, had told the White House that the President should find "a Republican who could defend with real loyalty what the President is doing."
In the interview at his office at Cummings & Lockwood, Mr. Blumenthal, who described himself as a "liberal Democrat," said that the information in the article was accurate.
He said that he decided in April 1970 to leave the Nixon Administration because of "a combination of circumstances." These included, he said, his feeling that Mr. Moynihan would soon leave the Administration and the fact that he himself had become "severely disappointed" in what he saw as a lack of initiatives in the area of antipoverty programs and domestic needs "because so much was going to the Vietnam war."
"In April 1970," Mr. Blumenthal said, "I left the Administration and went into the Marine Corps. That was one of the great moments of my life." But before he left for the Marine training base at Parris Island, S.C., Mr. Blumenthal said that he had his "last personal interview" with President Nixon in the Oval Office.
"We talked of the work I had done. I told him the reasons I was leaving. His reaction was subdued."
Referring to his departure from the Administration, Mr. Blumenthal recalled that he had "tried to work it out in a very low‐key fashion and was embarrassed that it got into the press."
After his talk with President Nixon, Mr. Blumenthal said, he arrived by bus the next morning at Parris Island and was "a shaven‐headed Marine Corps private." After six months of basic and combat training he was released from active duty into the Marine Corps Reserve as a private first class. Following five and a half years in the Reserves, he was discharged as a sergeant, having fulfilled the program's six‐year military obligation.
In the fall of 1970, Mr. Blumenthal entered Yale Law School, where he served as editor‐in‐chief of The Yale Law Journal and from which he graduated in 1973. He then served for a year as law clerk to Judge Jon 0. Newman of the Federal District Court in Connecticut, and the following year as law clerk to Associate Justice Harry A. Blackmun of the United States Supreme Court.
In 1975, he worked as administrative assistant in Washington to Senator Ribicoff, and the following year joined Cummings & Lockwood. He was also ac tive politically as coordinator in Stamford of Jimmy Carter's Presidential campaign, as campaign manager for State Representative Elmer W. Lowden, Democrat of Stamford, and as treasurer of the Stamford Democratic Party's finance committee.
Mr. Blumenthal, a bachelor, lives in what he calls a "modest cottage" in North Stamford, and intends to commute from there to the United States Attorney's office in New Haven.
In parting word, he said that he did not want to be known only "as the young fellow who said 'no' to Nixon." He said that he regarded his service as a law clerk to "two very distinguished judges" as "more formative and very important in shaping my career and shaping my view of the law."
Mr. Blumenthal declined to be drawn into a discussion of his possible ambitions in the future other than filling his new post of United States Attorney for Connecticut, which he said "will be challenge enough."
"I went into government service out of an interest in public service and that interest is still very much at the core of my lite," he said. "I was discouraged at a lot of what I saw about the motivations of certain public figures and I would say that insight more than any other single factor caused me to leave.
"It was a disillusionment with people as much as a disillusionment with policy. I became a lawyer because I felt would give me the skills that would enable me to contribute to public service."■

The day has finally come: Patches, the last of Peanut's nine babies, has left the nest.
It's been an amazing experience for the whole family, these hamster pups. Peanut was quite the little mother, nursing her crew almost non-stop for two weeks before weaning could begin. I couldn't help but wonder if she'd done it before. If not, I sure could have used instincts like hers seven years ago. That said, it's clear that Peanut is ready go solo again. (She's been caught pinning Patches to the wood chips as if to say, "My cage. My wheel.") As for the rest of us, we won't be forgetting them any time soon.

Commercial roof restorations Auckland
It is not always necessary to do a full reroof on a commercial roof if the integrity of the roofing sheets are still in good condition.
Commercial roof resurfacing in the form of painting will revive an tired roof and ad that layer of protection to extend the life of the substrate.
Roof paint and coatings available today can also help to keep surfaces cooler by reflecting more sunlight before it's absorbed as heat. This can translate into large power savings where the building is temperature controlled overall. All of our coatings are manufactured to the NZ climate.

Holiday Howls from the Mountain
Rescue and sanctuary for the "mythunderstood," abused, and forgotten since 2002
Winter is a beautiful time up on the mountain here at Full Moon Farm. The wolf dogs love the cold and snow! However, winter is a very difficult time for us at the Sanctuary.

Our residents will live at the Sanctuary for the rest of their lives and are deserving of your support.

Our Woofer Spotlight is on Shylo!
by Meg Ellis
Please welcome Shylo, out newest High Content Wolfdog, rescued in August 2011. Shylo was seized by Beaufort County SC Animal Care and Control on abuse and neglect charges. The prior owner was tried, pled guilty and convicted of Animal Abuse and fined heavily. Shylo lived in an 8 x 10 kennel, standing in his own feces, eating moldy food, for nearly 5 years.
Upon intake at BCACC, Shylo, then known as Shadow, weighed a mere 64 pounds and was carrying a heavy parasite load. He was betted at the shelter while awaiting the trial of the prior owner. After the hearing, Shylo was transported to Full Moon Farm, where his diet was modified to put weight on him, and he was treated for hookworms once again. Wee are happy to report that Shylo weighed 90.5 pounds when he was neutered in October and is healthy and happy.
Will YOU help Shylo?
We are seeking assistance to build Shylo a new enclosure, away from the volunteer parking area. (He is a bit timid and shy, but once he gets to know you, he is a real love bug!) We are hoping to raise $750.00 and recruit new volunteers to help us build his new habitat, where he can be paired up with an altered female and really enjoy his new life. If you can help, please make your donations here, and for fencing supplies or to sponsor Shylo, and to help with labor Visit our Volunteer Application here.
Volunteer Focus - Lynda Nichols
Each month we will feature one of our amazing volunteers at
Full Moon Farm
By L. Cascio
This month we would like to shine the light on Lynda Nichols who comes to us all the way from her home in Silver Valley, NC! Lynda drives three hours one way to volunteer at the Sanctuary, and when she arrives she literally hits the ground running. She exudes hopeful, enthusiastic, get the job done, energy! Lynda is hard working and does everything from sorting though mounds of paper work, looking into funding and grants, to cleaning the cabin, creating community with the other volunteers, building pens, scooping poop, digging holes to fill in "dens" and interacting with the woofers. In rare quiet moments you can find her taking magnificent pictures around the farm. We are very blessed to have her enthusiastic supportive energy at the Sanctuary!!
Lynda, a native of Kentucky and former Earth Science teacher, wife, mother and photographer, misses the beauty of the mountains of Kentucky where she feels deeply connected to the natural landscape. Lynda wrote: "In the early morning light, with the mist coming off the water, the mountains towering over me, the trees wearing their best Autumn dresses as if to please only me, and every hairpin turn brings new food for the hungry soul." We hope she finds some of the beauty and connection in Black Mountain as she works tirelessly supporting FMF!
Lynda started working with wolfdogs several years ago in Kentucky. Her daughter, Billie, while in college did a 500 hour community service project at a wolfdog shelter. Lynda missing her daughter deeply decided to join her as a volunteer! Even though Lynda volunteered there for a few years, after arriving at FMF, she stated "The first thing I learned is that I didn't know anything. I have learned more in the months I have been here than I did all the years at the Ridge."
Lynda lost her son, Josh, in 2009 in a devastating road accident and finds that the busier she is the better she feels and throwing herself into projects gives her a positive outlet to make changes. When asked why she comes to the farm she expressed: "I'm working physically and mentally. I'm interacting with amazing people and learning. I'm finding my balance and I've learned that to laugh again is not a betrayal, it is life affirming. I'm unsure as to whether I do more for the farm or whether the farm does more for me. I am finally beginning to heal…"
Lynda, we deeply appreciate all that you do for the farm!
Next month we will feature our hardworking new Caretaker, Nathaniel Tingle.
Black Mountain Holly Jolly and the Christmas Parade
Holly Jolly and the Black Mountain Christmas Parade are two long standing Howliday traditions for Full Moon Farm. Our Ambassadog, River, greeted many of the town folks Friday evening December 2nd. We visited with many local friends and River won the hearts of new friends. Thank you to all for the generous offerings you placed River's donation vest and Thank you to everyone to helped with our display table at Holly Jolly!
On December 3rd, did you see us walking down State Street at the annual Black Mountain Christmas Parade? We had a great time throwing out candy and walking the critters.
Nancy Brown walked River, Lindsey Rue walked Ms. Indy, Powell and Meg walked Ozzy and Kim Tulloss-Smith walked Juneau. Ozzy girl came to Full Moon Farm as a sickly, shy and withdrawn woofer did a fantastic job in the parade keeping her cool and greeting viewers. We are all so proud of her! River of course was a pro and quite the parade politician. The wolfdogs inspired such delight in the parade goers!
The parade banner was carried by Nancy's grand nieces – Anissa and Amaya Avila. Nathaniel, our caretaker, brought up the rear of our group with the trailer hitched to the back of our truck where Allison, her two fur kids Porter and Carly rode. We were assisted with the dogs and parade greeting by Sarah Hallback, Jessica Galloway, Cory Sistare, Chris Puliselic and Donna Wade Wiedrich and her son Daniel. Thank you to our Van driver and Santa look alike, Vincent Barco.
Capital Donations and Services Needed Immediately!
Full Moon Farm is in dire need of donations of either a tractor or backhoe, and/or the services of both.
The driveway is in terrible shape. In the past, a neighbor maintained the driveway, but he is no longer able to do so. Having a tractor for grading and snow removal is now mandatory.
The creek next to the cabin has undermined both culverts and is running underground, precariously close to the cabin. We must divert the creek upstream above the pens and cabin, short term, clean out and cut back the banks, reinstall the two culverts and redirect the flow through them. Professional help is needed soon, during the winter, before the spring rains wash away the logging road and the lower driveway.
Please contact Nancy at 828-664-9818 or firstname.lastname@example.com to offer your services or donations. Thank you!
Please Contact Full Moon Farm!
Sponsor a Full Moon Farm Wolf Dog
Full Moon Farm is funded by your generous donations and our Sponsorship Program. You can provide for the animal of your choice, or, as a "gift", sponsor an animal for a loved one. We offer 3 payment types, $20.00 monthly, $120 semi yearly and $240.00 yearly. Please see our website for additional information, and Become a Sponsor!
Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn Part 1
A Howling Good Time!
By Allison Frady
Everyone that's anyone knows what a big deal The Twilight Saga has become in today's society, not only to tweens and Twi-moms but it also appeals to the Full Moon Farm community. That's why when The Carolina Cinema in Asheville invited the farm to the opening weekend of the big movie, we jumped on the opportunity. Full Moon Farm brought a little bit of the Twilight movie to life by bringing some of their ambassadogs to the event for people to not only meet but also get to take a picture alongside a life-size cutout of their favorite character and a wolfdog.
We also had an information table setup with an awesome raffle with over $150 worth of Twilight merchandise that every true Twi-Hard would go crazy for. The local TV news crew, WLOS came out to the event to help bring in more people to raise money for the residents at the farm. Full Moon Farm was at the event for the midnight opening, Friday, Saturday and Sunday. Multiple wolfdogs were in attendance, River, Shango, Carly, and Porter. Since we are a wolfdog rescue most of the volunteers tend to lean towards Team Jacob but after a weekend long poll at the opening in the end Team Edward came out on top along with all the wolfdog residents thanks to the generous donations of the devoted Twilight fans and even some of the employees of The Carolina Cinemas that wanted to support Full Moon Farm.
"Throwdown" Music Benefit at The New County Music Bar
By S. Greene & L. Cascio
Our "Throwdown" Music Benefit at The New Country Music Bar in Hickory, NC on November 11 was a great success! Full Moon Farm volunteers Sharon Greene and Trey Merrill had a huge part in organizing and participating in the benefit. We all enjoyed great music and had lots of fun! Nancy took the stage with River to talk about Full Moon Farm and won many hearts as usual. River however was not sure about all the loud music and bar atmosphere after a few hours was looking for some fresh air, peace and quiet in the parking lot. River is such a patient Ambassadog Angel!
Thanks to all who came out and supported Full Moon Farm. We would also like to thank the musicians, Trey Merrill, Throwdown Jones and Buick McKane, who gave freely of their talent. Also, a big thank you to those that helped make it all happen, Allen Merrill and Dave Osbon for providing lights and sound, all the staff at The New Country Music bar, and to the owner Sheila Hilderbrand for letting us use her establishment and letting us have all the proceeds from the door. We hope to make this a yearly event!
FMF Miracles on the Mountain:
Savannah Boy/He Man follow up
He Man (aka) Savannah boy and now named Bear, has found his forever home with one of our Full Moon Farm supporters!! Many of you remember this beautiful black woofer and generously made donations to help with his extensive medical care to save his leg after his severe leg injury. We so appreciate you coming to his rescue with your positive support but still owe $250.00 on his Veterinarian bill. It is because of your donations that this Miracle on the Mountain for Bear occurred!
Bear has found a happy loving home where he has completed his physical and spiritual healing journey with his new family and pack. He has the good fortune to share his new home with another woofer! We miss Bear but so pleased and happy for him!
He Man/Bear and Scout are playfully whooping it up in this picture!
**NOTE: We occasionally re-home pet quality wolfdogs with our volunteers, friends and supporters of the farm with a proven record of successful wolfdog ownership and adequate fencing. We do not however adopt out for a fee.
Thank You Wishes!
We owe many supporters and volunteers big thank you wishes. Next month we will feature individuals. This month we are pleased to introduce our Business and Professional supporters!
Thank you to the Carolina Cinemas for hosting us at the Twilight events, to Animals R Us Veterinary Clinic deserves a huge thank you for discounting their services to Full Moon Farm.

Of course, thank you to The New Country Music Bar in Hickory for opening up their establishment for the "Throwdown" Music Benefit, along with the bands Throwdown Jones and Buick McKane for making the event a huge success. Thanks to the Greg Biffle Foundation, through their generous grant, we were able to buy fencing material, a new gate for the driveway, tires and more! As always, thanks to Berry's Garden Center for stocking our favorite kibble, and last but not least Carolina Bison and Manna Food Bank for their surplus meat donations which make our woofers very happy!

The direct marketing business is the most suitable business style for a global business, since it does not need any shops. In a way, if a consumer in Japan get a foreign catalogue and buy something from it, it means that the cataloger entered in the Japanese market. In short, how much you are prepared to pay to gain customers in Japan will decide how far you will go into the Japanese market. There are three major steps to launch into the Japanese market.
First step: Introducing yourself
Ask the Japanese media to introduce your catalogue. Inform Japanese consumers that you will send your catalogues to Japan upon request.
Second step: Language service
Produce order forms and catalogues in the Japanese language. Even just the order form in Japanese will be useful for the Japanese consumers. If you can conduct a customer service in Japanese as well, that would be very kind to the Japanese consumers.
Third step: Establish footings in Japan
Establish footings to improve customer service and your distribution system. One of the successful examples of this is L.L. Bean.
?In the third step, there are two ways to establish footings; independently, or with Japanese partners. For the independent example, Land's End established its branch company, Nippon Land's End in response to increasing orders from Japan. For the latter examples, Eddie Bauer has a partnership with Otto-Sumisho and Quelle has a partnership with Matsuzakaya Department Store.
?The language barrier is probably higher than you think in Japan. Many Japanese are shy in speaking English, and if they are forced to do so, they may give up ordering your merchandise in the first place. But it does not mean that they do not understand any English. Most of them, especially the younger generation, can read and write basic English. So, at least the orders and questions should be taken by fax, not only by telephone. Fax is convenient from the point of difference in time as well. If you can prepare the order form in Japanese, it would be better.
?In Japan, there are several laws and regulations for the sales and mail-order business, and you have to observe those laws and regulations. For example, in Specified Commercial Transaction Law, it is decided that the direct marketer should carry the following information in their catalogues: name and address of the marketer, sales price, delivery time and charge, payment method and due date, return policy, valid period of the catalogue, available quantity of the merchandise (if the quantity is limited), and so on. In order to avoid any possible troubles with Japanese consumers, this information should desirably be in Japanese.

This course is very complete, the readings are understandable and also the classes. It does require some more time comparing to other courses, but it's definitely worth it. I've learned so much i can't even believe it.
The only thing i'd maybe change is in one of the modules (week 5) it's kind of confusing how to submit the results of a review of some essays. that's it.

Inspiring leadership through emotional intelligence is a new way of managing people compare to what we usually follow. Though I have randomly practised some of the techniques while I manage or coach people, I did not apply it intentionally.This course gives really good fundamental awareness about emotional intelligence and its applications which I can use more inspired way. Moreover, lectures are clear and interesting with a lot of additional materials where we can study without spending the time to get further material in order to get a broader knowledge.

I have never regretted enrolling in the Inspiring Leadership through Emotional Intelligence course. It has indeed been a course that has provided me with new knowledge, ideas, and a broader perspective relating to ;life in general. How could I be in a position to understand emotional, social and cognitive intelligence and their applicability in my personal life, work, and relationship? Not to mention dealing with chronic stress as a leader and the need for renewal. Professor Boyatzis is such an intelligent professor. One thing that made fell in love with this course is the exercises, the ALA, PLA. The course is a combination of both theory and practice which I thought was the best for some of us which brought out some hidden talents. The lecture notes, videos, reading materials and various case studies were excellent. In my candid opinion, human beings will make life more better including nature surrounding us if most people will have the opportunity to take this course. Many thanks prof. You are genius!

Week 4 Sept. 11-15
This is what we were up to this week. Please visit the home page for a few pictures of Weaselhead and Dot Day.
Math: This week we learned about representing large numbers in multiple ways and explored the app called Number Pieces which gives us a visual representation of numbers We also tackled a small problem called "Build it Up" and uploaded it to FreshGrade for teacher feedback. Students completed a small place value check-in which will be uploaded to FreshGrade early next week.
*Parent Math Corner* YouCubed is a great resource that is compiled by Stanford University professor Jo Boaler and is grounded in current research on math education. I use it for my own professional growth and it has a great section for parents as well. https://www.youcubed.org/resource/parent-resources/
Science: On Tuesday we headed to the Weaselhead and explored the wetland area adjacent to the Elbow River. We were greeted by many large dragonflies and a small group of female mallards. Students had the opportunity to examine the living (biotic) and non-living (abiotic) components of a wetland and complete a few activities in their wetland journal. We also did some observations of what the ecosystem looks like in the fall. Thanks again to our parent volunteers - we couldn't do it without you! We will revisit in each season to observe and predict the changes we will see. Back in class students chose a specific type of wetland to research and will report back to their group next week on what they learned. This research has also been uploaded to FreshGrade.
Humanities: The students started the week by examining the impact the hurricanes had on Florida last weekend. We have moved on, and the students began their research on a Canadian Province. They are working with a partner to become an expert on one province. They will then create a presentation so their research can be shared with the class. We will all learn a bit more about the provinces that make up our vast country. Students should expect to be sharing their understanding by Sept. 27th.
Dot Day: Around September 15th educators around the world celebrate the book, "The Dot" by Peter Reynolds. Today the grade 5 classes enjoyed the story and participated in several dot day activities. We "made our mark", as we worked together to solve clues to open a breakout box, create dots that came to life with Quiver, and build a dot mosaic.
Camp Sweet: 5.4 leaves for camp Monday morning. We depart shortly after 9, so an early arrival isn't required. Students will need to be dropped off, as gear doesn't fit on the busses. We will return Wednesday. We should be back to the school right around 3:00PM. Please follow the packing list, and send a warm sleeping bag and clothes that can be layered. The mornings are quite cool, so your child may want gloves and a toque. If the days are warm we will spend time in the water, so water shoes, a swim suit and towel should be included. We do not need a white shirt (as stated on the packing list) that was only for the grade 7 camp.

As I wheeled my luggage out of Ayers Rock Airport, the colours struck me.
Everything had been cast in a primary hue, with the saturation ramped up: the soaring blue skies, the green grass, the red desert. I was in the "red centre" of my own country. And yet I gazed around in awe of its foreign terrain, as if it were an alien landscape. Uluru/Ayers Rock hovered on the horizon, 25 km away but clearly visible over the flat planes.
It was a blistering 35 degrees Celsius, but I was so preoccupied by my new surroundings that I barely noticed the heat.
As I started the ignition of my rental car, my nerves twinged.
I'm alone, in the desert. I'm going to be driving around in the desert, alone.
(Story continues below the following photo diary…)
1. Me at Uluru Ayers Rock/ 2. Uluru at sunset/ 3.Grass seeds against the horizon at Uluru at sunset/ 4.Uluru at sunrise/ 5. Driving to Kata Tjuta/ 6. Kata Tjuta on the horizon/ 7.Desert outback landscape during The Valley of the Winds hike/ 8.Desert outback landscape during the Valley of the Winds hike/ 9. The Valley of the Winds signpost/ 10. Desert photography
(Continued from above…)
I was worried about getting lost, hitting a kangaroo with my rental car, running out of petrol in the middle of nowhere and dying of dehydration, or meeting an outback serial killer, like the one in the terrifying Australian movie Wolf Creek.
Essentially, I was concerned about all of the usual things that city-slicker Australians consider to be the dangers of going into the desert. Despite Australia being 18% desert, and how much we love playing up how dangerous our country is to tourists, most of us are pretty happy staying on the coast. Only 3% of our total population can be found living in desert regions.
Always one for the dramatic, it wasn't entirely a surprise that most of my fears turned out to be pretty irrational.
Far from dangerous, the area around Ayers Rock Resort and Uluru-Kata Tjuta National Park only has a few main, easy-to-navigate roads, lots of other cars and everything is well sign-posted. There are plenty of kangaroos and emus around, however, particularly at dusk and dawn. So care on the roads is definitely needed.
One of the key attractions of visiting The Red Centre is, of course, to see Uluru/Ayers Rock. The iconic rock is made out of orange sandstone and spans approximately 10 km. The world heritage site is owned and administered by the Aborigines, to whom the rock has great spiritual significance.
It's disrespectful to the Aborigines to climb the rock, but a few years ago most tourists would do it anyway. Thankfully, now most people opt not to climb the rock out of respect for the local indigenous people's wishes.
I went to see Uluru at sunset on the first evening of my trip. It was just incredible. As the sun dips down behind the iconic rock, Uluru lights up and starts to glow an incandescent, rose gold. The glow fades slowly as the sun slips behind the horizon and, with the diminishing light, stars start to burn pinpricks in the clear sky, intensifying as the night deepens.
The following day I returned to experience the rock at sunrise. It was spectacular. The planet Venus twinkled to the left of the rock before the sun rose, and to say that it was a unique view of the planet would be an understatement. Venus melted steadily into the sky as the sun emerged from behind Uluru, covering the landscape in light.
That afternoon I drove out to see Kata Tjuta, a large group of domed rock formations. Once there, I did the Walpa Gorge Walk and the Valley of the Winds Walk. Both offered gorgeous, scenic views and were pretty easy walks, despite the heat and swarms of flies.
The flies in The Red Centre are a force to be reckoned with. As a result, one of the most fashionable trends in the area is to wrap your face up in a fly net before going outside. My pride just couldn't take that, so I opted for an incredibly strong insect repellent instead. It was so strong that it ate some of the plastic off my camera's buttons when I sweated it off while taking photos.
On the last night of my stay I did the Ayers Rock Resort Astro Tour, which an awe-inspiring experience. The group was taken out into the desert and given an outdoor astronomy class by a passionate astronomer. He brought the sky to life for us with two high-powered telescopes, iPads and his enthusiasm to talk about the universe.
The next day, I returned to Sydney's milder temperatures exhausted, with a deeper tan, a new appreciation for the Northern Territory and a smile on my face. Some of my friends thought going to Uluru by myself was a bit random, but I think it makes for an ideal "alone" getaway. The lack of companionship and chatter allowed me to really absorb and meditate on the beauty that the unusual landscape had to offer. I know that I'll be back to the Top End for more, one day.

New Product Source for April
Here's another product I thought was interesting.
I use something similar and enjoy using it to
cut my CD covers. Scrapbooking is another popular
hobby that seems have taken off. Lots of people
looking for supplies.
It has lots of TV exposure and might be a good item
to include with others on your website.
Perfectly cut crafts every time
Do the job right with the Craft-Lite Cutter. It's
the first sliding trimmer with a built-in light so
you can see what you're cutting. There's even a
fold down guide to hold your paper in place and
a swing out ruler to ensure perfect cuts in any
direction. The Craft-Lite Cutter gives you
precise cuts in seconds. No more mistakes, no
more ruined projects.
Ditch the scissors
Just slide the rolling blade for unrestricted,
accurate cutting. It's great for photos, scrapbook
embellishments, paper and other materials.
Includes 3 interchangeable blades allow you to
add creativity and flair to your projects.

Tips for Raising Your Margins & Profits on eBay
The following information was sent from eBay's
marketing people and we wanted to share it
with you.
Use Optional Features
A recent study by the Parthenon Group indicated
how powerful eBay's optional features were in
raising margins & profits on eBay.*
Bold featuring increases final price by 24% and
bids by 23% on average (the most effective feature
overall for the $1.00 cost).
Highlighting increases final price by 15% and
bids by 12%.
Gallery featuring increases final listing price
by 11% and bids by 15%.
Featured Plus! Listings increased final price by
47% and bids by 65%.
Many sellers develop a features usage strategy by
monitoring listings in the categories they sell.
Maximize your ebay Store
Try listing items with a lower average sales
price in your eBay Store. This will also allow
you to merchandise these items using the
Merchandising Manager feature (offered through
Featured and Anchor Stores) and take advantage
of the Store Inventory's lower cost insertion fee.
In addition, opening an eBay Store can
significantly increase a seller's gross sales
on average, a seller realizes a 25% incremental
increase in gross merchandise sales (GMS) after
opening an eBay Store.*
Try New Listing Strategies
Try multiple selling formats among your product
types. Fixed Price auctions, multi-item BIN,
wholesale lots and other item "groupings" can help
allay high costs. Reduce your cost of doing business
on eBay by testing and integrating $1 No Reserve
listings into your selling strategy. Start items
(or a portion of item listings) at a low price,
such as $1 No Reserve. Often times, these items
sell above retail value due to the excitement a
low starting price causes in the marketplace.
Look to the Community
Check out what other sellers on the site are
currently doing to sell items on eBay. The
community boards are also a great place to find
helpful information on new listing strategies
direct from the community of sellers.
Do your homework
Review category specific information and data to
help grow your business and increase productivity
and profits.
Read the monthly Seller Newsflash for innovative
ideas from other sellers and eBay. If you do not
currently receive this Newsflash, you may receive
it in your email inbox by visiting the link below
and updating your communication preferences to
receive 'eBay Email'.
eBay's Seller Central
Provides monthly information on categories with
high buyer demand. This information can be
invaluable when testing new products and expanding
your eBay business.
Only you know what works best for you. Try
different things start by taking risks with low
cost items first and ladder your way up to high
average sales price items.
For example, there are sellers who sell laptop
computers on ebay starting at $1 every day.
* Please note: We cannot make any representation
that a seller's specific item's final price, bid
count, and conversion rate will increase by the
weighted averages noted.

Google Docs Getting Offline Access
by Rafe Needleman
Google Docs' word processor is finally getting
offline access. Using the free Google Gears
extension, users will soon be able to read and edit
their files even when they have no Internet
The Gears-enabled version of Google Docs will roll
out to users over the next few weeks, starting
in April. If you don't have access to the feature,
just keep trying, Google Docs product manager Ken
Norton said. You'll know you have the feature when
you see a little "offline" menu item in the upper
right of your document window in Google Docs.
Offline access for Google's spreadsheet and
presentation app will follow after the word
processor rollout is complete, Norton said, and
will be read-only to start.
Google Docs will not, at first, let users create
new documents while offline. The feature's
first-use case is, "I'm amending a document and I
lose my Internet connection," Norton said.
Document creation capability will come eventually.
Of course, users will not be able to collaborate
in real time when offline, or see if other users
are simultaneously modifying a document they are
editing in offline mode. Google Docs will "do its
best" to reconcile changes made by multiple users
when one or more are offline,
Norton said. If there are conflicting edits, a
dialog box will pop up when an offline editor
comes back online.
Offline access is a necessary feature to make
Google's productivity suite a competitor to
Microsoft Office. However Google Docs' feature set,
while improving over time, still falls far short of
the functionality available in the Microsoft suite.
The only other Google application to use Google
Gears currently is the RSS reader, Google Reader.
A few other apps use Google Gears, such as
Remember The Milk.
Mozilla maintains that HTML 5, which includes
specifications for offline access tointeractive Web
sites, will obviate the need for Google Gears.
That'snot likely to stop people from trying the new
offline version of Docs.Norton reminded me that
Gears is open source, and that it is "the onlyway
to bring offline support to the entire Web audience
as a whole." Gears does indeed run on more
platforms than HTML 5 today, however it still
doesn't cover every Web platform: Google Gears runs
on Firefox 1.6 and above (but not beta 3) on
Windows, Mac, and Linux. It also supports
Internet Explorer 6.0 and higher on Windows.
There is no support for Safari, Flock, Opera,
Maxthon, or mobile browsers.

Check Out Your Page Rank
This month I wanted to bring out a handy SEO tool
for checking websites' link priority, according to
Google's Page Ranking (PR). Of course, it's free
to use!
Use this tool when adding links to your link
exchange and seeking sites with higher rankings
to help boost your rankings.
The scale runs from 0 to 10 and is calculated by
over a hundred different variables. Small business
sites may have a ranking of 2-4, while ebay.com
only scores an 8 as of April, 2008!
2010: D-day for the Internet hits "full capacity"?
by Christopher Null
Doom-filled warnings arrive from AT&T this week.
The company says that without substantial
investment in network infrastructure, the Internet
will essentially run out of bandwidth in just
two short years.
Blame broadband, says AT&T. Decades of dealing
with the trickle of bandwidth consumed by voice
and dialup modems left AT&T twiddling its thumbs.
The massive rise of DSL and cable modem service
in the 2000s has had AT&T facing a monstrous
increase in the volume of data transmissions. And
that's set to increase another 50 times between
now and 2015. That's enough, says AT&T, to all but
crash the system.
In response, AT&T says it's investing $19 billion
to upgrade the backbone of the Internet, the
routers, servers, and connections where the bulk of
traffic is processed. Of course, AT&T is using this
breathlessness in part to point fingers beyond
simple broadband use. Web video (especially
high-definition video) is the most commonly
mentioned bandwidth hog. AT&T says video alone
will eat up 80 percent of traffic in two years
vs. just 30 percent now. One wonders how YouTube
doesn't collapse under the pressure.
Meanwhile, many are wondering whether this is
prelude to AT&T announcing (or not announcing,
but doing anyway) a traffic prioritization/shaping
system like Comcast has been tinkering with...
and which has earned it nothing but scorn. Net
neutrality (which would forbid premium pricing
for certain Internet applications and destinations)
is a topic that continues to be hotly debated on
Capitol Hill, and telcos are anxious to kill the

iOffer.com, the 'Make Me an Offer' Ecommerce Site
by Greg Holden
Wouldn't it be nice if buyers and sellers could
exchange goods online the way they do in the real
world? When you see something you want in a
physical store or marketplace, you don't keep an
eye on it for a week and then bid furiously on it
just a few minutes before a predetermined ending
time occurs, do you? If sales worked that way in
the brick-and-mortar world, businesspeople would
find it hard to survive. Instead, you either pay
right away or make an offer and then bargain with
the seller until you agree on a price.
That's the kind of thought process Ryan Boyce and
some friends went through in 2002 when they created
the online marketplace iOffer (http://www.ioffer.com).
This site, which is becoming increasingly popular,
allows buyers to make offers and to negotiate with
sellers without a hard-and-fast deadline.
"There was a group of us in the beginning; some were
friends, and some had worked on a Web site called
eWanted.com," explains Boyce. "We were in the right
place at the right time. One of us was using eBay to
buy a hard drive, and he set his alarm clock to get
up at 2:30 am when the auction was ending. He looked
tired when we all met the next day. We did some
brainstorming and said, "There's got to be a better
way to buy something. There are plenty of other hard
drives for sale online, so there's no reason for him
to be up at 2:30 a.m. to save a couple bucks. Why
couldn't he just buy it the way you would in
real life?""
iOffer was launched on May 1, 2002. Boyce, who
started out as a network engineer, is now CEO of
the San Francisco-based company. He originally
helped set up the infrastructure and network for
the site, and still does some programming
when needed.
The site provides a dramatic contrast to eBay's
auction sales formats. First, you don't have to pay
anything to create a listing on iOffer. You can set
a starting price if you wish. But if you don't know
what something is worth, you can simply invite
prospective buyers to make offers. In this case,
you leave it up to the buyer to suggest a reasonable
price. You can either accept that price or make a
counteroffer. Offers go back and forth until a price
is agreed upon.
"Although eBay was in the back of our minds, we wanted
to create a better alternative," says Boyce, who is 28
years old. "We never looked at eBay so that we could
copy them. I think eBay is more about the experience
than the auctions. We've tried to develop live
interactions. More than half of our buyers get
notification with only five to ten minutes of lag
time," he says.
iOffer offers many innovative services for both buyers
and sellers. For example, sellers can open stores,
and the site has a discussion area along with "clubs"
that members can join. iOffer has a local service that
lets individuals find buyers and sellers in their
immediate area. And software tool called Mr. Grabber
takes your unsold listings from eBay or other sites
and imports them to iOffer so you can resell them.
"We can find out right away if people like or hate a
new feature. It's the instant gratification of being
able to look at a page and change it right away that
makes it all worthwhile," he says.
Of course, it takes courage to stick to change when
there are complaints. Boyce remembers what happened
in 2006 when the site's architecture was rewritten
from scratch. "Half a year later, nobody was using
it. It was hard to explain to our customer base.
They kept saying, "Why did you change that?" We'd
outgrown our old systems and had to do it," he says.
Like any online business, iOffer has faced a series
of other challenges. One is adverse selection:
buyers attracted by the free listings but whose
merchandise simply wasn't desirable. "We had one
seller who listed around 20,000 items," recalls
Boyce. "Only half had a picture. Some photos were
blurry, and some listings only had three-word
descriptions. He never sold a single item." The
problem is not only attracting sellers with good
inventory, but simply having an adequate mix of
buyers and sellers, he adds.
Boyce believes that the computer has replaced the
TV as the major form of entertainment, and the key
is embracing the whole mobile connectivity. "We see
a lot more consumers online everywhere. Most phones
have the capacity to get online and take a picture,
so we have a notification feature that lets sellers
be connected all the time," he says, adding that
the feature is still in beta testing. iOffer sends
notifications to buyers and sellers, and plans to
enable sellers to list items for sale from their
mobile phones.
And more people are connecting to iOffer. He
estimates that last year, there were two to four
thousand sellers online at any given time. In the
last month or two, seven to thirteen thousand
sellers have been waiting to accept offers.
One factor is the economy, according to Boyce.
"I don't want to call it a recession, but when the
economy is down people tend to buy more used
merchandise and to sell more of their own stuff.
They don't have extra money to make purchases,"
he says.
Boyce also finds that sellers are increasingly
disenchanted with eBay. "Sellers don't like the way
eBay treats them, and if they can find an
alternative, they will. We have the buyers.
This last week was our busiest week on record,
and I don't see it slowing down. We are seen as
Number Two in the auction space. We may be a
distant Number Two, but that's an important
place," he says.

Bolt of Cloth celebrates the textiles and the spirit of creativity which drives us all. With the popular business swelling with new products it's no surprise the stockist of designer fabrics and home furniture has expanded its business from one store to three.
Owner Suzannah Tonascia established the business on Madras Street back in 2009 and after the February 2011 earthquakes was forced to relocate to The Colombo in Sydenham.
In a bid to expand the business and reach the growing number of online customers, an Auckland store was opened in June, 2013 and incorporates Finnish textiles, homewares and clothing brand Marimekko.
In its latest move, a third store was opened at The Tannery's Emporium in Woolston earlier this year.
Suzannah talks to us about the latest trends and fabric tactics.
What materials and designs are on trend right now?
Bright punches of colour and combining fabrics in unique and novel ways are two key trends we are seeing right now. It's all about breaking the rules and being individual.
What materials would you suggest to people who want to create a cosy home this winter?
Softer elements like fabrics are perfect for insulation, absorbing sounds and making homes feel personalised and finished rather than sterile and show homey. While roller blinds are practical, there is nothing quite like closing curtains in winter for cosiness and then snuggling up to a pile of feather filled cushions on your couch. Make sure you have some lighting on dimmer switches or some free standing lights for moody perfection.
Can you tell us anything about the new products you'll be getting in stock?
We are always getting new products in stock! We've just released a winter collection of wool/alpaca cushion covers which are warm and tactile, and perfect for mix and matching.
We have a really interesting new collection of Marimekko fabrics, ceramics and homeware arriving in July – lots of purples (inspired by the Pantone colour of the year), and a mix of elegant pieces with a folksy collection. We are also launching our own range of roller blinds and ottomans shortly.
Which upcoming designers should we look out for?
You have to keep an eye out for the winner of this year's Bolt of Cloth Textile Design Award. Last year's winner was ex-Christchurch designer Josie Dawson and we have her stunning designs in store as cushion covers.
We will be working with this year's winner (entries close at the end of August) to get their designs in store in a suitable format by Christmas. We hope to have something exciting and inspiring to show you and be able to support an up and coming designer in the process.
Solid colours verses patterns, how do you use them and where?
I personally love patterns, but solid colours allow you to mix up more colours and patterns together in a way that works. Colour is an interesting thing, as the more you have the more you can get away with – and for lots of us, the happier it makes us feel.
Will customers be able to take advantage of special offers or promotions this season?
Yes. People who are signed up on our website as members already get lots of special offers. We email them a secret code every two weeks which enables them to buy certain items at a discounted price that isn't shown online or in store. This is free and anyone can join at www.boltofcloth.com
We are also working on some very attractive packages for people needing to furnish windows in their whole home, and an interior design service that will enable clients using it to buy at reduced prices.
Do you have a favourite designer? Who is it and why?
That is a really difficult one as I like so many designers and for so many reasons. I love Florence Broadhurst for her timeless elegance and how cleverly she designed Etsuya Furuya for her quirky irrelevance and how untraditionally Japanese her work is.
I also love Sanna Annka for her modern folksy vibe (she has a funky new collection out at Christmas) and of course Maija Isola for her trail blazing designs for Marimekko which are still going strong 50 years on.
Do you prefer stand alone products or a combination to create an impact?
Definitely a combination. I think how you combine items is the magic ingredient that
makes each of our homes unique. The same object can look completely different in each environment it goes in – human creativity is limitless!
What process do you go through to determine what products make it into your stores?
It is a combination of instinct with some method. For fabrics, it's about whether I feel our customers will love the colours and the design ,combined with the practical element of that fabric in terms of how I can visualise it being used and whether it is actually going to work for that. Some fabrics have been designed to just be more useful than others. There is no crystal ball unfortunately!

text: It is an October evening in Beijing, well past dark but the streets still crowded with rush hour traffic, and I am walking through a wide railroad underpass heading toward a Wal-Mart that I can see on the other side of the tracks. The acrid mist of polluted air turns the dim underpass lights into fluffy, yellow marshmallows. I join a single-file line of pedestrians pressed to one side, cautiously bucking a continuous stream of approaching homeward-bound cyclists, four and five abreast, none with lights or helmets and completely silent, the concentration of riding a few inches from others on all sides preventing any conversation and draining all expression from their faces. The only sound is the buzz of a thousand bicycle chains passing over cogs. The cyclists emerge quietly out of the dark, acidic fog and flow past us as relentlessly and inevitable as the future.

Play and learn sessions
The best way to make the most of bridge lessons is to practise applying them before you forget what it was you have been taught! Our aim is to offer two supervised play sessions in a week, one in the morning and a second in the afternoon. Mostly these will be scored as Chicago, meaning players cut and play four hands with pre-determined vulnerability, scoring game and slam bonuses on each deal, rather than at the end of each rubber. We will be on hand to offer supervision and advice if for example you get stuck and have forgotten what a bid means.
The scores rack up quickly in Chicago and a fresh cut for partners can be made after each completed Chicago. It is a fun way to play and means that even if there are an odd number of players, you will never have to wait long to get a game. Chicago was invented by a group of commuters to the American city of the same name, who wanted to find a version of the game that they could play and finish during their half hour commute each day.
If there is sufficient demand, and we can find a suitable venue, we are also considering offering duplicate sessions as well. These are slightly more complicated to organise and not everyone is able to commit three hours to play to the end, which is necessary for the scoring to be fair to everyone who is taking part. But it is a good way measuring your progress towards becoming a better player and appeals to those of a more competitive nature.
See also our plans for weekly Bridge sessions at The Trout in Godstow and Jacobs Inn in Wolvercote. These regular Tuesday morning sessions when you can play pre-dealt hands (to learn from) or supervised cut-in Chicago with your friends or fellow bridge enthusiasts.

Slimani named with Aguero and Hazard in Best XI
Algerian striker Islam Slimani has been named in the team of the tournament for the 2017/18 English League Cup, thanks to his brilliant performances throughout the competition.
He scored four goals in three matches, and has been named in the Best XI in a team that also includes some of the world's footballing superstars such as Sergio Aguero and Eden Hazard.
Prior to the final, no player had scored more goals in the competition than the 29-year-old who scored in three different rounds when he was at Leicester City.
Slimani scored two goals against Sheffield United and one goal against Leeds United, who are both in the Championship.
However, his best goal for sure was his thunderous strike with his left foot from outside the box against Premier League side Liverpool, to knock them out of the competition.
The Best XI was named as the tournament comes to a close this weekend, and Slimani should be very proud to have made it into a side boasts some real star quality.
2017/18 Best XI in full: Norris (Wolves), Bryan (Bristol City), Flint (Bristol City), Holding (Arsenal), Hazard (Chelsea), De Bruyne (Man City), Wilshere (Arsenal), B Silva (Man City), Murphy (Norwich), Slimani (Leicester) and Aguero (Man City).

Vasseur had "fingers crossed" for Raikkonen reliability
Alfa Romeo Formula 1 team boss Frederic Vasseur admits that he had his fingers crossed during the Chinese GP due to concerns over the reliability of the Ferrari power unit in Kimi Raikkonen's car.
Unlike rivals Haas, the Hinwil team had chosen not to take the new spec of control electronics offered by Ferrari after the problem suffered by Charles Leclerc during the Bahrain GP, and opted to stick with the first version.
On Saturday, Antonio Giovinazzi's qualifying session was ruined by a recurrence of the issue suffered by Leclerc, and the Italian was given a fresh example of the old spec for the race.
However, Raikkonen stuck with his original unit, and inevitably there was a risk that he too would have problems.
In the event, the Finn enjoyed a successful charge from 13th on the grid to ninth, logging points for the third race in a row after an aggressive drive.
"I had my fingers crossed on the pit wall," Vasseur told Motorsport.com. "It was not easy to push on the buttons! I think overall it was a good Sunday for us, we had a good recovery compared to yesterday.
"It's important for us to score points every race and be consistent. We know perfectly well that if we want to stay on the top of the rest – I don't care if it's P4 or P5 – if we want to stay like this we have to be consistent over all the races, and be able to score points in every single event."
Vasseur says that Raikkonen, who was frustrated to lose some performance in the closing stages while chasing the cars ahead, continues to impress the team.
"He's scoring points, even when he's starting 13th. He was a bit upset not to be able to catch Ricciardo and Perez at the end, which is a good sign!
"The pace was there, and I think we were even able to catch Ricciardo and Perez, but we had some small damage 10 laps before the end on the front. We also lost temperature in the front tyres, mainly due to the fact that we lost downforce."

I have a blog; you're reading it. I hate it. I hate blogging. I hate technology. I'm 80 years old, and I just want to sleep.
I want to be a writer in the golden age of writing, because pretending to care what other people say just to "build a following" is horrid. Also, I don't have to get a following. I don't want to go on six different sites just to get my story out there.
I feel like an 80 year old woman that got sucked into a millennial's body (I had to Google how to spell that). I love my phone and couldn't live without it, but I hate that I can't. I just want to read a goddamn book once in a while.
This is why I am not a millennial (Had to look it up again).
I don't understand Twitter and forget about Tumblr. Forget about it. What even is it?!
Half of my pictures end up like this:
Because I didn't know it was going to take a picture when I tap the screen.
I just learned how to listen to a Podcast, and I have back problems. Click here to see.
I also have stomach problems. Click here to see. So if you were going to say well back problems aren't that bad, there's more. Not only do I have to walk hunched over sometimes, but I also have little control over my bowels.
I love 80s music more than current music. My karaoke version of Toto's Africa brings tears, of laughter. I don't have a link for that, and hopefully there is no evidence. If you don't know the song, here is the original.
I can't keep up with all these different news channels nowadays. I just want one paper with everything I need in once place. If I missed a story, it's because it wasn't important.
And YouTube. I would love to have a YouTube Channel, but the editing and the shooting; I can't do it! I want to make a YouTube Channel back when you could have shitty lighting and no experience, like making amateur porn.

Jennifer's Journal - March 2013
My name is Jennifer Beightol. I am the Listing Coordinator here at The DeLois Smith All Star Team, Realtors. Like many of you, my husband and I are not originally from Hattiesburg. It has been nearly thirteen years since we made the decision to move to Hattiesburg. We wanted our daughter to have the opportunity to grow up in the same type of environment that we had grown up in. You know that wholesome "Walton's-like"… life centers around family, church, community and oh yea … Ike Godsey's Store… type of environment.
Definitely not the fast paced work around the clock environment we were living in Atlanta. So we packed the truck, loaded the van and moved ourselves and our five year old to Hattiesburg. It was a difficult transition at first, especially for the five year old who wondered where the rest of the mall was. But, I am pleased to report we adapted and for the most part have been very happy with the move.
Hattiesburg delivered! Family was a big reason for our move to Hattiesburg. It was very important to us that our daughter be raised around her extended family….to have that connection. At the time of our move my husband's immediate family had also relocated to the "Burg" from Waynesboro. Now we were no longer the only Beightol's in town. It was a wonderful change to be able to have Sunday lunch with family again. We found an amazing church. I am still often awed by their caring, goodness and generosity.
Ours is just one of the churches in Hattiesburg… there are many… filled with wonderful people doing wonderful things. I am proud and humbled to say we have been warmly invited to worship with quite a few of them. The church truly is a cornerstone of life in Hattiesburg.
The people of Hattiesburg treat you like a neighbor. This is never more evident than in the wake of disaster. Following the tornado of February 10, so many members of the community came together to help people they never met take those first steps back to normal. That is just the way things are in the "Burg". Oh yea… I can't forget… Ike Godsey's Store – well Hickman's and Kress Department Store might be a thing of the past …and the Mom and Pop curb stores of our youth might not be exactly what they once were… but the children have their hang-outs and gentlemen still get together for coffee and conversation. So as far as achieving that goal of a "Waltons-like" environment for our daughter to grow up in…Hattiesburg may not be Walton's Mountain… but it is a pretty great place to raise a family.
