The answer must be chocolate is a review of food blogger, Simply LaKita's visit to the World of Chocolate Museum in Orlando, Florida.
This week I was able to spend some time in sunny Orlando, Florida and even though I did not indulge in the fantasy of all that is Disney…I did take a trip to the World of Chocolate Museum and Cafe.
Yes…you did read that correctly…there is a whole entire museum dedicated to all things chocolate and so you know I could not resist checking it out.
This place is in a nice area that is pretty much off the beaten path and away from Disney World, but not difficult to get to at all. Upon entering the building the aroma of chocolate is the first thing that you smell as you immediately enter into the middle of a cafe which includes a long counter with lots and lots of chocolates for sale.
At this point, you may either choose to select your chocolates and choice of beverage, including wine or coffee and have a seat to enjoy the lovely atmosphere or proceed to the counter and purchase a golden ticket for the guided museum tour.
The beginning of the museum tour is introduced with a short video and personal tour guide who discusses the history of chocolate and how we came to know all about the chocolate of today. The museum displays everything associated with the chocolate process from planting (yes chocolate is a plant aka a salad) and harvest to machines and packaging.
Towards the end of the tour, you will enter into a cool LED lit room to view some wonderfully elaborate chocolate works of art.
Here are just a few…
Amazing right?? Yes, that is solid chocolate…YUM!
The tour ends with the viewing of many different molds of chocolate and my favorite part…samples of chocolate from around the world, some of which were tasty and delicious and some which were…ummm…errr….interesting.
All in all, I really enjoyed my time there and would recommend it if you ever find yourself in the Orlando area. However just as a warning after all of that chocolate tasting and enjoyment…you may find yourself exhausted from all of the chocolate that has entered your body.
Let's just say my evening ended a bit early 😉

The Commercial Real Estate Market Surrounding the Cracker
As mentioned before, Shell's Ethane Cracker Plant in Beaver County has the potential to greatly impact the area. As we discussed with employment, the ripple effect from the plant will help lead to an uptick in manufacturers, industrial companies, oil and gas, logistics and supply chain. General businesses that serve those industries will also see an increase in business. These industries include law firms, financial companies, hospitality companies and many more that will benefit from increased employment and money in the local economy. Saving projections for another time, here are some of the numbers associated with the real estate market that surrounds the site where the cracker plant will be located.
Within a 5-mile radius, there is an overall 4.4% vacancy rate, 455,404 square feet of vacant space and an overall average asking price of $7.39 per square foot per year. Industrial space, is currently averaging $3.23 with 92,800 sf vacant, which is an 3.3% vacancy rate. Office space is averaging $13.94, 90,090 sf and 4.8%. Retail space is $11.06, 272,514 sf and 5%. In terms of how long a space is lasting on the market, it is 1.8 months for industrial, 7.2 for office and 46.5 for retail. A previous version of this post cited availability rates, which were 8.7% for industrial, 8.5% for office and 11.5% for retail, equating to an overall rate of 10%. Availability rates include all spaces that are presently marketed for lease. That can include subleases, vacant spaces and spaces that are currently occupied but being marketed for lease (i.e. they still have a tenant for a short term, but the property is being marketed for future tenants). Things to note: This is a small sample size, so averages can easily be skewed by outliers. This is a relatively cheap area compared to the Pittsburgh market in general.
Within a 10-mile radius, the numbers are as follows: 4.9 % overall vacancy rate, 1,805,548 sf of vacant space and an average asking price of $8.79. Industrial space is $5.30, 842,748 sf vacant and has a 5.8% vacancy rate. Office is $20.12, 340,564 sf vacant and has a 5.8% vacancy rate. Retail is going for $10.14, with 421,666 sf and 3.7% vacant. Average time on the market is 6.7 months for industrial space, 9.7 for office and 33.7 for retail. Things to note: these numbers are closer to the overall market numbers with the spaces between 5-10 miles away greatly outnumbering those within the 5-mile radius.
Within a 25-mile radius, we're looking at $14.61 average asking price, 5% vacancy rate and 12,051,031 sf of vacant space. Industrial spaces are averaging $5.37, 3.2% and 2,442,729 sf of vacant space. Office numbers are $21.50, 7.7%, 6,915,034 sf. Finally, retail is $14.05, 3% and 1,949,549 sf. Average market times are 14.5 months for industrial, 25.5 months for office space and 19.1 months for retail. Things to note: This space includes parts of the Parkway West, West, Greater Downtown and Central Business District submarkets. While it does not cover a majority of the market geographically, it covers some of the densest areas and therefore covers a very significant amount of the commercial real estate within the market.
Key subleases
Since the plant will not be up and running until at least 2020 and likely later than that, the market will feel the impact from expanded construction operations first. While industrial, supply chain and manufacturing companies will have a significant impact later when they can take advantage of the polyethylene that is put out by the plant, those facilities won't be in full swing any time soon. If companies are moving here to take part in the construction boom, they'll likely want to avoid a long term lease since the peak of construct is temporary.
Here are some key subleases available in the West and Parkway West submarkets, which are where the largest uptick in office activity is expected.
1550 Coraopolis Heights Road has spaces of 25,742 and 26,362 sf available for sublease.
400 Lydia Street has 4 floors, each of around 8,930 sf available for 35,715 sf total available.
125 Enterprise Drive has 10,249 sf available.
Foster Plaza V will sublease any size from 100 to 5,000 sf.
1000 Omega will sublease from 5,330-31,122 sf.
500 Cherrington Parkway has 2,008 and 3,868 sf suites available.

What is the best way to protect and preserve timber gates?
With the extremes of the British weather protecting your gates is key to their longevity. There are many ways in which you can do this; these vary from paints to stains and oils. Preservatives can be water or oil based.
Rubbing oil into the wood is the most common way to preserve it. A good oil will soak into the wood's pores and slow the absorption of water which can cause rot. Just a few coats of oil can protect wood for years, but this depends on the quality of the oil and environment. If you find that oil is absorbed quickly then the wood has already dried out. Even if you are planning on painting your timber gates you may want to use oil first to stop them drying out.
Stain or paint the timber in the same direction as the grain, don't paint across the grain.
Paints should be obtained from a specialist manufacturer, some of whom give up to a 6 year warranty with their products.

This made-for-eating-outdoors dinner combines bright citrus with the sharp, herbal notes of rosemary and ouzo. Prep and Cook Time: 45 minutes. Notes: Ouzo is a widely available anise-flavored liqueur from Greece.
How to Make It
Prepare a charcoal or gas grill for medium-high heat (you can hold your hand at grill level only 3 to 4 seconds).
In a medium pot, bring chicken broth and 2 cups water to a boil. Add orzo and cook until tender to the bite, about 8 minutes. In a medium bowl, mix 1 tbsp. olive oil, lemon zest, lemon juice, chives, and 1/4 tsp. salt. Drain orzo and transfer to bowl; toss with lemon mixture. Cover and set aside until ready to serve.
Meanwhile, in a large bowl, combine 2 tbsp. olive oil, ouzo, rosemary, 1/2 tsp. salt, and pepper. Add shrimp and toss. Set aside for 15 minutes.
Trim ends off zucchini and cut on the bias into long, oval, 1/4-in.-thick slices. Brush slices with remaining 1 tbsp. olive oil and sprinkle with remaining 1/4 tsp. salt. Set aside.
Drain shrimp, reserving marinade, and thread onto skewers.
Grill zucchini slices and shrimp skewers, covered, 3 minutes. Turn slices and skewers over, brush shrimp with reserved marinade, cover, and cook until zucchini is soft and browned and shrimp is pink and starting to brown, about 3 minutes. Transfer to a platter and serve immediately, with lemon orzo on the side.
Note: Nutritional analysis is per serving.

In the 13 years our parents have owned this house the field behind has always been for sheep, but for some reason this year it's been planted with wheat. Last night I took an evening stroll through in the still-wilting heat with my camera in the hope of capturing the golden hour.
The light was a gift. It was still so warm the wheat smelled grassy-sweet in the sunshine and the red Wiveliscombe earth was baked red beneath my feet. I couldn't resist lying down in a furrow made by the tractor's wheels, looking up to the blue sky and breathing the scent of a British summer all around me.

How cheap sensors, ubiquitous computing, and networks of enthusiastic amateurs are building a new planetary nervous system
Migratory patterns of Western Meadowlarks (via eBird)Birding — the amateur pursuit of watching and monitoring bird populations — is a big deal. The numbers back it up. The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service puts the number of "wildlife watchers" in the country over 20 million. They estimate the industry is larger than $50 billion. But there is more to the story than legions of spotting scope-equipped, L.L. Bean-wearing retirees moving through national parks and recreation areas. Like everyone else, the birders are now wired up. In addition to notebooks and life lists, birders are now using apps and centralized databases like eBird and iNaturalist to quantify their work. This data is becoming the backbone for important ornithology work (even though it often doesn't receive any credit). By turning digital, researchers have been able to turn to statisticians and computer scientists to add quality control filters to the data, as well as tweak the interfaces to encourage more participation from ever growing number and diversity of people. They've also been able create beautiful visualizations, like this real-time map of submissions.
The birders are just the tip of the iceberg — a small sliver of a much bigger trend emerging around amateur science. Networks of makers are creating tools to explore, monitor, and understand our planet in an entirely new way.
The pace of innovation is staggering. There have been very public success stories, like the use of drones for conservation or the development of small satellites for continuous Earth imaging. These are more than just clever hacks. Each one adds a new tool to the toolbox of the growing army of citizen scientists around the world. These people — passionate networks of amateur and professional scientists — are busy wiring up the natural world with every sensor they can get their hands on. To paraphrase the ideas of Planet Labs CEO Will Marshall, these are the neurons of a new planetary nervous system.
Planet Labs doves in space. Credit: NASAI've had a front row seat to this emerging phenomenon. In 2012, my friend Eric Stackpole and I started the OpenROV project in his garage in Cupertino. We wanted a low-cost underwater drone to explore a submerged cave, and the commercial alternatives were far beyond our price range. In the years since, our idea has grown from just a few people working in a garage to a global community of thousands of professional and amateur ocean explorers, and evolved from a small project into a company that's building cutting-edge tools. Our latest project, the OpenROV Trident, raised over $800,000 on Kickstarter last October. The community of users have used the devices for everything from finding shipwrecks in Southern California to discovering a previously unknown fluorescent quality of a clam in the Cook Islands.
The OpenROV Trident#### A New Era of Citizen Science
The idea of amateur science isn't new. In fact, a few disciplines have been pioneering this approach for decades. Astronomy and ornithology both have a long track record of including the work of non-professionals in their research. In both cases, the formula is simple:
Low-Cost Tools + Open Standards + Connected Enthusiasm
In the case of astronomy, one of the main drivers of the recent boom was the development of the Dobsonian telescope. In the 1960s, John Dobson — a monk in San Francisco — contributed an entirely novel way to mount larger lenses using whatever materials happened to be lying around. He never patented his design, but instead set about teaching anyone and everyone the methods and joy of constructing their own telescope. He spent the rest of his life standing on street corners, traveling around the world, and inviting everyone he met to look at the stars. As Timothy Ferris wrote in Seeing in the Dark, it was these low-cost tools combined with the networking enabled by the internet that has fueled the renewed momentum for amateur astronomy.
Photo of John Dobson by Julie MichelleToday we're seeing this powerful trend emerge in dozens of other disciplines. Every component of that formula — tools, standards, and connectivity — are each, by themselves, going through a renaissance.
The most important change is in tools. The rise of the Maker Movement — a collection of new digital fabrication tools (like desktop 3D printers), a thriving archipelago of makerspaces, and the popularity of online design-sharing communities — has sped up the pace of prototyping and lowered the barriers to small-batch manufacturing. What used to take an entire company's R&D budget can now be achieved by two friends in a garage. We didn't have any money when we started OpenROV, but we did have access to TechShop in San Francisco, where we used a laser cutter to prototype the initial underwater robot design. This would have been impossible just a few years earlier.
Another effect of the Maker Movement has been Lego-ization of the smart phone — a side effect of their mass production, and the economies of scale that enables. There has been a proliferation of low-cost, modular computing devices like Arduino and Raspberry Pi as well as cheap, affordable sensors (accelerometers, gyroscopes, magnetometers, GPS, temperature, etc). Chris Anderson calls this the peace dividend of the smartphone wars. These have become the building blocks for a new generation of connected devices. It's the same forces putting computers and sensors on our wrists and in our thermostats. It's happening in the natural world, too, but we haven't stopped to give it a catchy name like "Wearables" or the "Internet of Things." Personally, I like Wildtech.
The Dissemination Lab in MadagacarThe tools for scientific research and exploration are especially ripe for this maker-style disruption. For the past half century, the key drivers of the market have been low volumes — limited to labs and research institutions — and high margins. Because the labs pay for the equipment out of grants and endowments, they have little regard for the large markups, especially when their research institution receives a direct percentage of that grant as indirect overhead. All the players in this game — the manufacturers, researchers, and institutions — have little reason to complain. It's the Scientific Industrial Complex.
But here come the makers, building tools for themselves and for each other. It's a textbook case of what Clayton Christensen, in his book The Innovator's Dilemma, calls a disruptive innovation, the process of technological evolution where a new design or business model breaks up the existing state of affairs by opening up the market to new and different customers.
#### Global, Open & Resilient
The maker-style science and exploration tools don't pander to the nuanced needs of researchers. The goals are broad participation. These projects become economically feasible and profitable at higher volumes, as opposed to the higher margins associated with the traditional research tools. But it's also ideological. There's a sense of purpose among these projects that permeates the business plans and organizational structures: the process of discovery and the pursuit of curiosity should be available to everyone.
This radical inclusion has a number of important spillover effects. The first is that these projects are born global. With OpenROV, our forums and discussions have always been an international collaboration. Some of our most important contributors lived halfway around the world, and we never met them face-to-face until many years into working together. We've shipped ROVs to almost every country, and have seen homebuilt versions of our design in even more surprising corners of the globe.
All of these projects are built on a foundation of openness. Influenced and built by open source software and open hardware scaffolding, the same methodology is being applied to the science itself. It's meta-level bricklaying. The best example is the Cubesat standard. Throughout the 1990s, there had been discussions at NASA and elsewhere about finding ways to reduce the cost of space science, but it took the enterprising of two professors to bring the idea to life. Bob Twiggs, a professor at Stanford, and Jordi Puig-Suari, a professor at California Polytechnic State University-San Luis Obispo dreamed up the Cubesat idea as a way to get smaller, cheaper satellites into space. The backbone of the idea was the the philosophy of standardization. In 2000, they published a 10 page document that outlined the basics: the size (a 10cm x 10cm x 10cm cube), the weight (less than a kilogram) and some ideas for framing, electronics and power. As explained, the Cubesats could be rigged with whatever experiment their makers could imagine, as long as they fit into those defined boundaries.
Given the exorbitant costs of rocket launches, they knew that the only way to get these experiments into space would be on the coattails of larger operations, so he created a specially designed orbital deployer as a way to piggyback on those launches. That was in 2003. Since that time, the CubeSat phenomenon has exploded. It's given rise to an entire industry as well as an entirely new genre of space science, from the Lightsail, which is prototyping a novel method of solar sailing, to the Firefly, which measures gamma-ray flashes coming from Earth's atmosphere.
Radical collaboration is pushing maker-style citizen science ahead at an increasing rate. It's becoming cheaper and faster to build on top of these open standards, which broadens the scope of what can be attempted, because so much more can be done with less.
More importantly, this model of science is broadening the scope of who can take part — mainly a function of falling costs. The tools for prototyping and question-asking are becoming more reasonable, and the open standards mean there are foundations to build on. But the real story of expanded participation has to do with connected enthusiasm.
Over the past few years, a new digital layer of connection has allowed enthusiasts to forge new bonds. The importance of community building was also pioneered by amateur astronomers and birders. The astronomers have long held star parties to get together and share tips and techniques. Birders come together for annual events like the Christmas Bird Count. The culture that emerges around these groups has always been an important glue for turning interest into networked science and discovery. Collectively, the group knows more than any one individual, and the internet enables this to happen at scale.
Citizen scientists are using all the tools available — social media, apps, mapping software, and Kickstarter — to find each other and share ideas. By digitizing the community effort, they've been able to do more, faster. People are now logging on to websites like Zooniverse and helping to identify galaxies and gravitational lenses. Non-astronomy disciplines are also getting in on the action. Zooniverse now runs projects based on everything from from identifying plankton to studying the collective intelligence of Wildebeest. Tools like OpenStreetMap and MapBox are allowing groups to quickly create knowledge maps of sightings and environmental data. But perhaps the most exciting congregation of amateur science enthusiasm is on crowdfunding sites, like Kickstarter and Experiment. Projects like Rainforest Connection and Open qPCR all found support and just enough funding to get off the ground. NSF grants require that you have a PhD and an affiliate institution. Kickstarter projects just need a community.
#### Mass Participation > Mass Communication
The impacts of these trends are just starting to be recognized: perhaps the tipping point was last year's White House ceremony on citizen science and crowdsourcing. Wherever this goes, we already know the importance goes far beyond just data collection. The true potential is the reimagining of science communication and engagement, and turning citizen science into civic action.
This is the largest and most hopeful part of the citizen science story: the sense of agency. For too long, science has been isolated in the ivory towers of academic institutions, only accessible to a few. This is a new way forward that invites everyone to explore, get involved and take responsibility: each of us a critical node in the new planetary nervous system.

Rush Limbaugh's "NFL… Bloods and the Crips…" Quote in FULL Context
This quote has been completely taken out of context by the usual racists and race hustlers to smear Rush Limbaugh. Well, here's the quote in FULL context. You can decide for yourself if it makes Rush "racist":
The Classless NFL Culture
January 19, 2007
CALLER: I've listened to you since September 11th, and I find that I almost always agree with you. I'd say I only disagree with you about 1.5% of the time coincidentally enough. But the reason I'm calling today, sir, is I wanted to get your thoughts regarding what LaDainian Tomlinson had to say about Bill Belichick this past week.
RUSH: Okay, I'm going to take your call, I'm going to use this to expand the answer to incorporate all of the National Football League if you don't mind.
CALLER: Not at all.
RUSH: To set the table for people who do not know, after the Chargers and Patriots game, the Chargers sitting around moping, all depressed, because they had the game won, it was just all kinds of stupid mistakes, and let me tell you what happened. Some of the Patriots went to midfield where the Chargers logo is and started doing an imitation of a victory dance done by Chargers player Shawne Merriman after he sacks a quarterback. Now, here are the Chargers who have lost a game they should have won, who lost a game precisely because of the same kind of behavior they're ripping the Patriots for, and LaDainian Tomlinson says that was classless, (paraphrasing) "We went in there, we beat them twice on their field and we didn't disrespect them. This obviously comes from the head coach," meaning Belichick. LaDainian Tomlinson was accusing Belichick of ordering his players and creating a culture that would make it okay for players to go on the field and taunt and so forth and so on.
Now, LaDainian Tomlinson to me is the classiest player in the National Football League. He doesn't do a dance, he doesn't spike the ball when he scores. He and Marvin Harrison are the two most classy individuals playing in the National Football League today, in skill positions. They just hand the ball back to the referee. They act like they've been there and done that, like scoring a touchdown is no big deal, they don't taunt, they don't act like they've been dissed or any of this. Let me tell you, the Chargers would not have lost that game were it not for a bunch of — I gotta be very careful here. It's not just irresponsible, but there is a cultural problem in the NFL that has resulted in a total lack of class on the part of professional players.
There was a play where Brady was third and long, he was sacked, fumbled the ball, the Patriots recovered it, it will be fourth and long, forcing an interesting decision late in the game by the Patriots. After the play is over, a Chargers player gets in the face of a Patriots player, head butts him and starts jawing. This is the reason these guys are getting shot in bars, folks, late at night. Fifteen-yard penalty, automatic first down. So for the Chargers to complain about the lack of class by the Patriots, I found laughable. I think something ought to be done about it, because I love the game of football, and I don't like the kind of culture that's taking over, that "you can't diss me, you can't disrespect me." After every sack, players are acting like they've won the Super Bowl, and they're prancing around with these idiotic dances. The latest thing is to act like they're making a jump shot in basketball. It's all done to taunt; it's all done to taunt the other team's fans.
I don't want boring football. I don't want the no-fun league, but you can certainly have great football games without a lack of class. I don't know how it's been allowed to happen this way. I guess the coaches don't feel confident to continue — this was very rare for the Patriots to act the way they did, and who knows what led to it. I don't think of Belichick as that kind of coach, but Tomlinson's words reverberated around the league. A lot of people said, "I'm glad he said something, because Belichick is getting away here with an image that he doesn't deserve." I've played golf with Belichick; he's a mild-mannered, soft-spoken man. I even saw him at a cocktail party here in Palm Beach before dinner one night. That whole organization to me exudes class, as does Tom Brady, and you don't see them doing this kind of stuff.
One of the reasons the Pittsburgh Steelers had trouble this year was a total lack of discipline, in addition to all their turnovers, total lack of discipline, 15-yard penalties, unnecessary roughness, taunting after plays are over, after successful defensive stands, they blow it. There's something culturally wrong here that is leading to all this. It's gotta be dealt with at the top, because it simply is classless. I can I understand LaDainian Tomlinson being upset because he doesn't do this stuff. But in the current NFL climate the best way for the Chargers to prevent that from happening is win the game and keep this insidious, ridiculous, boorish, classless behavior to a minimum so that you don't lose it on account of that. It's just disappointing, and it's a mystery to me why it's being allowed to continue. Well, actually, I understand partially why it continues, and that's because of ESPN.
ESPN lives off this. ESPN created Terrell Owens. Terrell Owens is who he is, but if Terrell Owens weren't constantly on television with his antics after touchdowns — I remember, I called this. You remember the Monday night game on ABC and Seattle when after scoring a touchdown, T.O. playing for the Fort'iners, pulls a Sharpie out of his sock, autographs the ball and gives it to somebody. I said, "Folks, this is going to lead to nothing but trouble." Everybody said, "Come on, Rush, lighten up, that was funny." It was classless. Go back and look at the greats who played this game. They would not do anything of the sort, maybe hand the ball off, but not pull a Sharpie out. Everybody started to talk about how much fun that was, ooh, how cool, how creative. Then we get Joe Horn of the United States Saints after he scored a touchdown pulling a cell phone out of his socks and faked making a phone call. Well, guess what shows up on ESPN? So these guys get validated, everybody wants to stand out, they want to get endorsement deals and so forth. So television, making stars out of people who engage in classless behavior helps lead to it and contribute to it. No question in my mind about it. I'll bet the guy that called from El Paso did not expect this as an answer.
RUSH: Look it, let me put it to you this way. The NFL all too often looks like a game between the Bloods and the Crips without any weapons. There, I said it.

WINSTON-SALEM, N.C. _ Bobby Allison, Richie Evans, Jerry Cook, Curtis Turner, Tim Flock, Glen Wood and Ralph Earnhardt have all celebrated in victory lanes here. Richard Petty smiled after winning his 100th Grand National race here. "Here" is Bowman Gray Stadium in Winston Salem, N.C. NASCAR history radiates from here. Here is also known to an entirely new audience as the Madhouse.
During the winter, History Channel aired a weekly series featuring select Modified division drivers from the Stadium. Filming took place during the 2009 racing year. The Madhouse title was derived from the blind drawing scramble to decide the feature race inversion when twin Modified features are held.
Tim Brown, Burt Myers, Junior Miller, Jason Myers and Chris Fleming were the core personalities and stories.
The Madhouse circles a football field used by Winston Salem State University. The speedway is a flat, paved quarter-mile. Same as a running track. The facility seats 17,000 comfortably with 6,000 seats on the frontstetch, 6,000 seats on the backstretch and joined by 5,000 seats in turn one and two. A basic U shape forms from turn four in the racecar direction to turn three.
A two-tiered guardrail lines the straighaways. The red and white barrier raises to three tiers in the turns. Some spots show their age with dents and bows from impacts over the years. A good arm could throw a baseball to the back stretch grandstands from the start/finish line.
A majority of the race meets play out in front of huge crowds that would make a majority of this country's grassroots track operators green with envy. On this particular night I visited, a packed house was accomplished with heavy gray skies and a serious rain threat. The very same weather system that caused havoc with the Talladega NASCAR schedule.
Eight-time Modifed division champion Brown said he signed autographs for fans as far away as Alabama, Virginia, Georgia, and West Virginia. Tourism for the Stadium was high on this warm, yet rainy spring night. The Madhouse show certainly had an impact.
A walk through the pit area brought a sense of fraternity and brotherhood. The local racers took pride in the speedway opening their gates for the 62nd consecutive year. And a newfound audience had migrated to visit. The support divisions also beamed with pride and optimism.
The pits are also equipped with a field house complete with visitor and home locker rooms. This truly is a shared football and racing facility.
People drive this sport. Beyond the stars of Madhouse are heroes and idols in every division. They are stars to someone. And there is plenty of heart at this level. Nobody shows a profit doing this. The racing is not about the money. The purse offered would not cover the equipment investment and expenses. These are racers here for racing love and passion.
Fans in the stands share a deep connection with their heroes, and enemies, on the speedway. They live and die for Saturday nights.
North Carolina congresswoman Virginia Fox was grand marshall for the 200-lap Modified feature. Fox received a commemorative plaque to honor her occasion and referenced she was going to show it off during her next speech on the House floor.
Area television stations were here with film crews. Radio stations, websites, and newspapers were covering the evening's action. Bowman Gray Stadium's opening night is always big. This was one of the biggest thanks to Madhouse.
In the press box, the phone constantly rang with fans wanting weather updates, ticket information, and directions to the track. As soon as the line was put down, it would ring again. A constant dispersal of information flowed. Empty seats were vanishing. The fan interest was accelerating. Nearly 17,000 seats were full in the rain.
Race time neared. The bright lights of the Stadium glowed skyward. The gray overcast skies disappeared into the darkness. Track wreckers, flatbeds, and the pace car circled the speedway in an attempt to keep the surface dry. The persistent sprinkles would not go away. The asphalt's shine increased.
As the scheduled post time drew closer, rain intensified and management was forced to postpone opening night. How big this event would have been with good weather is anyone's guess.
The sound of high horsepower engines and the smell of burned race fuel from practice and qualifying was still fresh in the air. Just a taste of racing action would have to do.
NASCAR's grassroots are as strong as ever if done right. Bowman Gray Stadium and Madhouse have their critics and proponents. No matter the reason, it was good to see healthy crowds and entry lists. That is good for all of motorsports.

Palau Launches Climate Change Policy, Action Plan Process
10 sector-based working groups meet to begin policy development
By Peter Erick Magbanua
KOROR, Palau (Island Times, Nov. 28, 2014) – Over 50 individuals from a broad range of sectors and areas of society attended the launch of the development of Palau's Climate Change Policy and Action Plan (CCP&AP) through the establishment of ten sector-based working groups that was held Wednesday at the Ming's Court of the Palasia Hotel.
At the inception meeting, President Tommy Remengesau Jr. gave the keynote address and asked that all stakeholders make time to participate in this important process, particularly the upcoming risk and capacity assessments that will be scheduled with each working group over the next three months.
Palau's Climate Change Policy and Action Plan is anticipated to be completed by the end of June 2015. Palau's Climate Change Policy and Action Plan will address climate change adaptation, disaster risk management, and the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions including protection of carbon sinks (both forests and oceans). It involves consultations with a wide range of stakeholders from national and state governments, the private sector, and civil society.
"Climate Change is a real life threat to us and we, the Small Island Developing States are on the front line. We must take action now to protect ourselves from the impacts of climate change," Remengesau said.
Work on development of Palau's Climate Change Policy and Action Plan has been ongoing since 2013 with support from the Secretariat of the Pacific Community (SPC) through funding from the European Union (EU) and the German Government (GIZ). This work included the preparation of a community engagement strategy and a climate change gaps and needs analysis for Palau in 2013. This final part of the process to develop Palau's climate change policy and action plan will involve extensive consultations with sector stakeholders to build a coordinated national policy framework which will include prioritized actions that are to be taken to build the resilience of Palau to climate change over the next five years.
The 10 key sector working groups formalized at the inception meeting are: Biodiversity, Conservation and Natural Resources (Water, Soil, Gas, etc.); Agriculture and Fisheries (food security); Utilities (Telecommunications, energy, water, solid waste and sewage); Critical Infrastructure (roads, ports, airports, schools, etc.); Tourism, Finance (including insurance and banking); Commerce and Economic Development; Health; Society and Culture; Education; and Good Governance.
The sector working groups will participate in risk and capacity assessments that will be conducted over the next three months by a team of local consultants (Sustainable Decisions and Partners, led by Tiare Holm) hired by SPC and Palau to complete the Action Plan for implementing the Climate Change Policy.
The process will also include developing longer term vision statements for each sector and a national workshop will be held in March 2015 to further refine and gain consensus on priority policy actions/directives required to address national risks, capacity building needs and work towards achieving disaster resilient, low carbon development for Palau.
"In order to access funding we need first to know and articulate what our priorities are, and this policy framework development process is an opportunity to get this information direct from all sectors. There is currently in excess of 40 billion dollars for climate finance, which will rise to 100 billion a year by 2020 based on developed countries commitments under the Convention, so there is funding available," National Environment Planner and National Climate Change Coordinator Charlene Mersai added.
The Inception Meeting was coordinated by the Office of Environmental Response and Coordination (OERC) with support from the National Emergency Management Office (NEMO), the Palau Energy Office, and the Weather Office on behalf of the Ad Hoc Committee on Climate Change (AHCCC) of the National Environmental Protection Council (NEPC).
Support for this work is being provided through the European Union-funded Secretariat of the Pacific Community (SPC)Global Climate Change Alliance: Pacific Small Island States (GCCA: PSIS) and the Building Safety and Resilience in Pacific Islands Countries projects, the German Agency for International Cooperation (GIZ) implemented Coping with Climate Change in the Pacific Islands Region program and USAID, in collaboration with the Secretariat of the Pacific Regional Environment Program and other regional partners.

Risking the Ax, Economist Martin Feldstein Speaks Out for Chopping the Deficit
Consider the plight of Martin Feldstein. The renowned economist, currently on leave from Harvard, has often warned that skyrocketing federal budget deficits pose a critical threat to continued recovery and to the nation's long-term economic health. Yet as Chairman of the President's Council of Economic Advisors, he is under considerable, if not always successful, pressure to keep his policy recommendations in line with the Administration's. This week President Reagan was to release his proposed 1985 budget, calling for a $180 billion deficit and no major new taxes. The budget could only have been a disappointment to Feldstein, who had called for substantially increased taxes to shrink the deficit. When correspondent David Beckwith interviewed Feldstein, 44, at his Washington office, Feldstein the economist spoke lucidly about the danger and cure of deficits. When it came to policy, Feldstein, the President's employee, remained outwardly loyal.
The Congressional Budget Office says that the deficit will come in just under $200 billion again this year, and the current prospect is for an accelerating deficit in coming years. Do you agree?
Yes, I think that's a fair assessment. If there is no policy action, the figure could soon be well over $200 billion, even with a solid rate of growth, falling unemployment, falling inflation and falling interest rates.
How did we get ourselves into this box?
The main reasons are that the economy suffered a longer recession than anybody expected in 1981 and 1982 and that inflation came down very rapidly. The high rate of inflation of the late 1970s had pushed people into higher tax brackets, so when inflation collapsed, the Treasury no longer reaped the benefits of inflationary increases in tax revenues. And we also didn't get all of the spending cuts that the Administration had proposed in its earlier budgets.
Are there any benefits to the economy from such huge long-term deficits?
There's no question that the tax cuts this year and the increase in the deficits that came with them stimulated consumer spending, helping the recovery in its early stage. The real problem is not with deficits in 1983 or 1984, but with the prospect of continuing and increasing deficits into the indefinite future. That's what worries so many economists and so many citizens.
What specifically do those huge deficit projections do to the economy?
They have two quite different effects. Large deficits use up the nation's savings. That keeps interest rates high and means less money is available for financing plant and equipment, housing and capital investment. The deficit outlook also has serious consequences in the near term by keeping the dollar too strong. That hurts our exports and makes it easier for foreigners to sell in the U.S., further depressing our own industries.
At some point, won't the increased interest charges on growing debt overwhelm our ability to finance them?
The growing debt adds substantially to interest costs. Our nearly $200 billion in national debt accumulated in 1983, for example, adds roughly $20 billion a year in permanent annual interest charges. If we add one trillion extra dollars to the national debt over five or six years, the extra interest on that would be roughly $80-to-100 billion a year forever. To put that in perspective, simply financing those extra $80 billion would require a tax increase of nearly 20 percent. Unless we decide to retire that debt, we will keep paying interest forever and ever.
The new budget assumes that the economy will grow 4 percent a year through 1990. With big deficits, is that realistic?
In a word, no. It's only achievable if Congress takes actions over the next two years that substantially reduce the deficits over the next five years.
Has the upcoming political campaign made the President unwilling to tackle the deficit problem?
It's true the changes proposed for calendar year 1984 are rather modest. But looked at over the next five years, there are proposals for more than $200 billion in cumulative deficit reduction measures. It's just a first step in getting the deficits down. More will be needed. The President's budget message last year contained measures that would have reduced the projected deficit by more than half, but Congress refused to deal with it. You're right that in an election year, there's no point in proposing measures Congress will ignore again. We'll have to wait until 1985.
Might 1985 be too long to wait?
I think it's very important for Congress to act this year on the proposals that the President has made now. It's important for people to understand that this is just a first step, that we'll have to come back and do more things, tough things, in 1985. If that's understood, we can continue to have a healthy recovery.
If we are in a downturn by 1985, then might the tough measures you talk about—spending cuts and higher taxes—be politically impossible?
That's true, and it's a real risk?

Listen to the voice in your head. I'll admit it, I don't always. However I did recently and it was a good thing. I was out a few weeks ago to watch and photograph the sunrise over The Bay of Fundy at a place called Cape Spencer on the edge of town. Shortly after the sun broke the horizon, I finished shooting, then I packed up and started to leave. I looked back one last time to make sure I had everything and I saw one other possible spot to photograph. Initially I was going to ignore the idea and just head home but I thought, I'm here so I'll take a look and see what happens.
It was a good day to listen to that voice in my head. The area of the cape I spotted was next to the water's edge, and it was a steep climb down along some very sharp and very large rocks. I carefully made my way down and ventured onto the small islands of rock and continued to shoot as the sun climbed higher.
As I carefully manoeuvred around the rocks I noticed the interesting flare that developed in between and around the boulders. Unfortunately the break in the rocks was also in a place that I couldn't position myself in front of because there was also a large gap in the rocks I was standing on and below the gap was the very cold bay. The live viewfinder is not something I use very often but it came in handy as I held the camera in my left hand while balancing everything and also trying to keep the horizon straight.
"I've found that luck is quite predictable. If you want more luck, take more chances. Be more active. Show up more often". – Brian Tracy.
I like the above quote because it not only applies to a photographer but to life in general. I've heard it said quite often by photographer friends and even me that "I was lucky to get the shot", when in fact there is generally a certain amount of preparation required, even if it's just being there. Sometimes it's that voice that puts us in the right place at the right time or just tells you to get ready.
I learned a valuable lesson that day. As much as photography is an art and there are principles to be followed there are also times we need listen to that voice inside prompting us to take a chance or to just show up. Since that day at Cape Spencer I've had more time to review my images and I've also had time to reflect on what else I learned that day. It got me thinking about that voice inside my head and how I should listen to it more often; with and without my camera. That voice may lead me to more unexpected photographs or it could also lead to more unexpected memories with my wife and kids, possibly a moment to even help a stranger. As we head into the Christmas season perhaps we all could take advantage of the opportunities given to us, just by listening to that voice a little more .

Billy Currington, 'Like My Dog' – Song Review
Billy Currington deserves more credit. The Savannah, Ga. born singer keeps releasing the country music equivalent of dimples. His songs -- including the newly released 'Like My Dog' -- are cute and a little superficial, but impossible to ignore or not fall in love with. Even if you hate dimples it's not because you hate dimples. It's because you're jealous of the person with dimples.
'Like My Dog' captures the mood Currington has set with hits like 'Good Directions' and 'People Are Crazy.' It's an instant hit, but because it's a little goofy, the song won't get nearly as much recognition for its craftsmanship as it deserves.
"Want you to love me like my dog does baby / When I come home I want you to just go crazy / He never looks at me like he might hate me / I want you to love me like my dog," Currington sings in the chorus. Each verse has at least one laugh out loud lyric.
"He never tells me that he's sick of this house / He never says, 'Why don't you get off that couch?' / He don't cost me nothing when he wants to go out / Want you to love me like my dog."
A guy doesn't even have to be married to appreciate this story. Women will love it because they have a better sense of humor than men. That's a fact. Look it up on Wikipedia! Or just listen to Currington's contagious second verse: "He never acts like he don't care for my friends / He never asks me, 'Where in the hell have you been?' / He don't play dead when I walk at him / I want you to love me like my dog does, honey."
Harley Allen and Scotty Emerick wrote 'Like My Dog,' and Currington included it on his 2010 album 'Enjoy Yourself.' Was there ever an album more appropriately titled?

BCDC and the next 50 years on San Francisco Bay
The San Francisco Bay Conservation and Development Commission is the world's first coastal protection agency. It was created thanks to the efforts of three remarkable women who started a movement that swept across the nation and the world. This year marks the BCDC's 50th year protecting the bay. The state commission is now taking on one of the biggest challenges the bay has ever faced — rising sea levels as a result of a changing climate.
In the early 1960s, Kay Kerr, Sylvia McLaughlin and Esther Gulick looked west from their East Bay homes and saw a shoreline and wetlands being defiled by garbage dumps and development. Together they founded Save the Bay and the successful public campaign to stop bay fill by creating the commission.
On this anniversary, it is appropriate to reflect on the remarkable legacy of those founders and to consider the new challenges that lie ahead.
Today, around the bay, we can see the commission's accomplishments. Before BCDC was created, families didn't stroll on bayside trails because none existed. The bay was shrinking by an astonishing 2,000 acres annually. The bay's wetlands and wildlife were vanishing.
After 50 years of groundbreaking stewardship, the size of the bay has increased significantly. We have the nation's largest urban wildlife refuge and thousands of acres of permanently protected diked former baylands. The bay shoreline is now fringed by hundreds of miles of trails, parks, beaches, promenades and restoration projects.
In addition, BCDC has approved billions of dollars of urban shoreline development. Restaurants, hotels and housing have been approved where appropriate. Fishing piers, kayak-launching facilities, marinas, a baseball park, museums and interpretive centers allow the public to enjoy the bay to an extent that was unthinkable 50 years ago. The bay has been woven into our families' lives and our region's economy in a manner that is envied globally.
Today we face a new challenge because of the rising sea levels that are resulting from our warming climate. State agencies such as BCDC expect no less than 3 feet and perhaps as much as 10 feet of sea-level rise by 2100. Absent regional planning, collaboration and action, those rising waters will inundate low-lying communities, businesses and natural habitats.
While we still need to minimize bay fill of wetlands and maximize public access to the bay shore and waters, our charge now includes protecting our natural and built environments from rising tides. Rising sea levels threaten our roads and highways, airports, transit systems, water treatment plants and power plants. Rising sea levels also threaten the wetlands and wildlife BCDC has worked so hard to protect and expand.
Meeting this challenge may seem as daunting a task as stopping bay fill in 1965. Inspired by the Save the Bay founders, we must begin with a shared vision for a healthy and accessible bay that is treasured by the communities that surround it. We must tap into the creative spirit for which our region is world-renowned. And, finally, we must work together — public agencies and communities of all types and located all around the bay — to ensure that all of us are protected from rising tides.
We can also work as individuals to protect ourselves and our neighbors from rising waters due to a likely El Niño, which could cause significant Bay Area flooding. Close to home, we can organize or volunteer for creek cleanups so our waterways can better direct water away from our homes.
On a larger scale, we can encourage our cities and counties to participate in BCDC's groundbreaking community-based Adapting to Rising Tides program and to authorize new Enhanced Infrastructure Financing Districts to fund local climate change adaptation efforts. The districts, new community mechanisms that replace old redevelopment agencies, can fund local climate change adaptation efforts.
The three women who founded Save the Bay launched a movement that resonated across the nation and the globe. We have a new opportunity today. If we meet today's challenge with a shared vision, the creativity that befits our region, and a spirit of public, private, and nonprofit sector collaboration, our children and grandchildren will be able to look out and see a vibrant bay transformed once again, thriving communities surrounding it, and a Bay Area that remains a global leader in meeting the challenges that face us all.
Zack Wasserman is chairman of the San Francisco Bay Conservation and Development Commission and a real estate/land use attorney. Barry Nelson is a BCDC commissioner and the former executive director of Save The Bay. To comment, submit your letter to the editor at www.sfgate.com/submissions.

- Lyle Jamieson Bowl Basics, The Easy Way
- Brand: Lyle Jamieson | Category: DVDs
Over the weekend, I get a e-mail notification from Wood Magazine that they have a new service where you can purchase and download video tutorials. You can find the service here. While this review is not about Iamplify, I would highly recommend it. While the price is the same as the DVD and the quality isn't quite as high, there is something to discovering a tutorial you like and then being able to watch it 20 minutes later without having to go to the store or wait for the video to be delivered.
Delivery aside, Lyle Jamieson's Bowl Basics video is awesome. He explains everything in a no nonsense manner that is clear and very easy to understand. I think it's a measure of how good his teaching methods are that I was able to improve on all four of the major cuts he describes (Push, Pull, Sheer Scrape, & Scrape) as soon as I went out to the shop. But it's not just about cuts. Everything you need to understand about turning bowls is in there. Whether it's setting up the lathe, the use (or non use) of the bandsaw for creating blanks, sharpening your tools or maximizing the use of your bowl gouge , it's in there. With over four hours of content,there is not any filler.
As valuable as I found the two videos, I did not agree with every thought process. Lyle primary likes to turn green wood. He doesn't mind that it warps as it dries. He is not a huge proponent of chucking the blank. I chuck my bowls. Warped shapes are not nearly as interesting to me. In my mind these are not deal breakers. Everyone is entitled to an opinion and he makes strong cases for his.
What can I say? I have watched these videos several times over the last week and with so much content I continue to pick up new things. More importantly I have made huge improvements in my turning with this video. While your mileage may vary, if you can only have one bowl turning DVD in your arsenal, this is it.

Thanks for the review, Tim. Actually, Jameison's video is $39 (plus shipping?) at his site and only $32 at the Wood video site, so besides being getting the video right away, its also quite a bit cheaper, esp if you have to pay extra for the shipping.
Looks like that's a pretty long video—4 hours 20 minutes according to Lyle's site. How long did it take to download?
#4 posted 08-13-2009 01:03 AM
I have high speed Internet so it less than an hour to download both videos. As I said, there is a lot of good content in there and not much if any filler. I still routinely watch it as I keep picking up new things. It's an awesome vailue if you like to turn bowls.

Compare these patterns to the situation you were in (or in which you, a family member, or friend is currently involved). This list may help you determine if there is cause for concern. Bear in mind that this list is not meant to be a definitive checklist to determine if a specific group is a cult or "cult-like." This is not so much a diagnostic instrument as it is an analytical tool.
1. The group displays excessively zealous and unquestioning commitment to its leader and (whether he is alive or dead) regards his belief system, ideology, and practices as the "truth," as law.
2. Questioning, doubt, and dissent are discouraged or even punished.
3. Mind-altering practices (such as denunciation sessions) are used in excess and serve to suppress doubts about the group and its leader(s).
4. The leadership dictates, sometimes in detail, how members should think, act, and feel. (examples can be: what to wear, what to watch, what to believe, who to associate with)
5. The group is elitist, claiming a special, exalted status for itself, its leader(s) and members (for example, the leader is on a special mission to save humanity.)
6. The group has a polarized "us-versus-them" mentality, which may cause conflict with the wider society.
7. The leader is not accountable to any authorities
8. The group teaches or implies that its supposedly exalted ends justify whatever means it deems necessary. This may result in members' participating in behaviors or activities they would have considered reprehensible or unethical before joining the group.
9. The leadership induces feelings of shame and/or guilt/or pity to influence and/or control members. Often, this is done through peer pressure and subtle forms of persuasion.
10. Subservience to the leader or group requires members to cut ties with family and friends, and radically alter the personal goals and activities they had before joining the group.
11. The group is preoccupied with bringing in new members.
12. The group is preoccupied with making money.

This afternoon Bill and Ben went tobogganing, so Carol and I hit the stores in town.
I thought I found the perfect souvenir of our trip to Arosa. I saw a blanket in a store window yesterday… it's wool with symbols you'd find on a piste map along the bottom. We went back and the blanket was gone! It was the last one and someone bought it yesterday. I looked at some others that seemed like they were similar, just to see if I'd have even forked over the money for the blanket. At 1300 Swiss Francs…. the answer was no.
I thought I knew of a good alternative souvenir: an Arosa tourism poster. We've seen them at our hotel and around town… old fashioned looking posters. I found a shop selling them and went in. The woman claimed they are all originals, not reproductions. And she sells them for between one and seven thousand Francs. So much for idea number two.
Carol wanted to check out a couple of stores with pretty coats in them. They weren't quite as expensive as the blanket or posters, but still too much to as much as try on.
Maybe I'll find something tomorrow.

They are based on animal / bug types and come in vibrant colours, they fold and are compact an ideal for taking away in the back of the car. Suitable for 1 to 3 years. Great for both indoors and outdoors ( current weather would indicate indoors ). We have had a store demo model out and are very impressed with the build quality and its light weight, the folding aspect is very easy and takes only a few seconds.

Field Work
Field Work
Members can join us on our on-going excavation, run by the Field Unit, open weekends from April till November. There are plenty of different aspects of archaeology in which you can get involved with: excavating, sieving, finds-processing, finds illustrations, all under guidance from members of the Field Unit, or you could sign up for a training week (here)
As a Field Unit we also undertake watching briefs, geophysics, and surveying and excavation of other sites. We also help monitor the Thames Foreshore with the Thames Discovery Program and take part in other community digs and events.
During our latest 'Watching Brief' on a Victorian building, the builder uncovered what appeared at first to be a sump. On further inspection it is a well. It measures approx. 37 feet deep and has a diameter of about 3 feet. The capping from the well is contemporary with the Victorian building, at the same time a lead pipe has been inserted into the water and heads towards the kitchen of the building, where the water would have been pumped using a hand pump. The rest of the well is much older and is contemporary with the 'big house' just down the road so has probably been reused from then. Interestingly there is no mention of the well in any maps. The well has been recorded and is waiting to see what the building inspector has to say about it.

Quantum magnetism in ensembles of large spin atoms present possibilities beyond those offered by spin ½ electron gases and effective spin ½ atoms. For example, magnetic phases, with topological properties applicable to quantum information manipulation may be accessed, or new mechanisms for the emergence of superfluidity evidenced. Parallels to magnetic frustration can be drawn. We are building an experimental apparatus for the manipulation of ultracold fermionic gases of strontium 87, with large spin F = 9/2, disposed in periodic potentials with tunable topology. In addition to its high spin, Strontium 87 presents original interaction properties : contrary to most species (e.g., chromium), the interactions between two particles do not depend on their spin projections. Only the Pauli principle, that prevents direct interactions between two identical fermions, indirectly produces effective magnetic interactions. We aim at studying how entanglement and magnetic order depend on the interplay between lattice symmetry and the SU(N) symmetry associated to these spin-independent collision properties, from the familiar SU(2) case common to electrons to the unexplored regime where N>4.
A key ambition of ours is to take full advantage of the narrow lines of strontium, so precious to metrology, to devise original manipulation and measurement protocols. In particular, we are developing a super-resolution scheme using a narrow transition to measure the spin of each atom in each lattice site, with a quantum efficiency close to one. The spatial selectivity being based on the energy selectivity of the transition instead of an optical resolution, our scheme can achieve the record resolution suited for short-spacing lattices with fast magnetic dynamics, 3D selectivity, and full spin sensitivity at once. Furthermore, the built-in single-site adressing makes initial state preparation and single-spin manipulation readily available. It can also be used as a local drain, to explore open system dynamics. This approach bridges precision measurements and many-body physics, and overcomes one of the main challenges of the field today: to marry single site addressing and full spin sensitivity.
Single-site, spin-selective addressing, as a probe of magnetisation in a lattice. We combine the efficiency of ion detection with the spin- and spatial-selectivity of a narrow line, in the presence of external magnetic and inhomogeneous laser fields. Here, atoms on sites are depicted as disks, spin state (mF) as colour. The detection here only occurs on the central lattice site and for spin mF (orange).

Named scholarships
When it comes to earning a college degree, the greatest obstacle can be funding.
For this reason, The University of Akron is pleased for the opportunity each year to assist talented, deserving students achieve their dreams, thanks to more than 1,300 named scholarships established through the kindness and generosity of thousands of UA alumni and friends, corporations, and foundations.
Scholarships truly are the best way to ensure that today's students persist to graduation. Scholarships allow students to enroll full time and remain focused on their studies; they also reduce drop-out rates, decrease the stress of student loans, and shorten the road to graduation.
The need for scholarships grows each year, however, as students continue to face an increased financial burden in pursuit of a college degree. In fact, 94 percent of today's baccalaureate students borrow to pay for college – versus just 45 percent in 1993. Across the country, the average college-related debt for borrowers in the class of 2016 was $37,172; for Ohio students, that figure was $30,239.
If you are interested in making a significant contribution to student success, please consider a gift to the MAKING A DIFFERENCE AND MOVING FORWARD scholarship campaign, which is the University's most important initiative. You may also establish a named scholarship at The University of Akron, which can be created to honor a living person, in memory of a loved one, or to contribute to the growth of an area of study.
To learn more, please contact the Department of Development at 330-972-7238.
How do I apply for a scholarship?
This is not the page to apply for scholarships.
Students who want to apply for scholarships should visit the scholarship page on the Financial Aid site.
The Department of Development does not accept applications for or distribute scholarships. Scholarships are distributed through the University's Office of Student Financial Aid.

Williams, Honorable James R. and Catherine D. Scholarship
James R. Williams, a 1965 graduate of The University of Akron School of Law and recipient of the 2001 Outstanding School of Law Alumni Award, is a dedicated public servant. He is a family man of faith and strong values. As a distinguished lawyer, jurist, and community leader, Judge Williams is an outstanding mentor and role model for law students, as well as for new and experienced attorneys. It is, therefore, a fitting honor that the friends, professional associates, fellow School of Law alumni, and other colleagues of The Honorable James R. Williams pay tribute to him with the establishment of The Honorable James R. And Catherine D. Williams Scholarship Fund.
The hallmark of Judge Williams' distinguished career is his service to others. Prior to becoming a judge of the Summit County Court of Common Pleas, Judge Williams served as the U.S. Attorney for the Northern District of Ohio and as Judge of the Akron Municipal Court. While in private practice, Judge Williams served for eight years on Akron's City Council. Early in his career, Judge Williams was a teacher in the Akron Public Schools and a senior staff member of the City of Akron's Department of Planning and Urban Renewal. Over the years, Judge Williams has demonstrated his commitment to bettering the life of others and his community through his role as a Civil Rights activist, as a leader of many civic groups, and his active participation in the Akron and American Bar Associations. As the principal founder of Alpha Phi Alpha Homes Inc., Judge Williams is a champion for providing housing for moderate and low-income families and senior citizens.
Judge James R. Williams is a native of Columbus, Miss. Following active duty with the United States Army, he and his wife made their home in Akron, Ohio. Judge and Mrs. Williams, the late Catherine Douglas Williams, have two children and four grandchildren.
The purpose of The Honorable James R. and Catherine D. Williams Scholarship Fund is to reward academic achievement and a history of leadership at the School of Law or in the community by upper-division law students who are members of the Black Law Students Association. In awarding The Honorable James R. and Catherine D. Williams Scholarship, individuals from both the day and evening divisions are eligible to apply. Law students with financial needs as determined by the Estimated Family Contribution (EFC) number will receive favorable consideration. Annually, the dean of The University of Akron School of Law will select The Honorable James R. Williams and Catherine D. Williams Scholarship recipient, upon the recommendation of the Law School's scholarship committee.

That is another very sweet and pretty nativity quilt. I just love the nativity ones.
I think that is so neat that the stuffing for your pillow is of pine needles. I wish we could have a real tree in our home as I would start doing this too. But alas, my mother is allergic to pine :/
Christmas blessings,

Sausages are much loved and enjoyed by individuals of all ages. Be it a child or a senior member of the society everyone loves their sausage done just right. It is only that the preference of the sausage changes with age and time. The children mostly flavor normal black sausage either with a bit of pepper in them or a splash of herbs. Adults prefer a lot of different varieties of sausages which range between- herbed sausages, mixed sausages, the spicy Italian chorizos, the English black pudding sausage, etc. There are countless varieties and all are generally easily available at your nearest super market if you do not have easy access to the butchers.
