5 Minutes with a NWA Mom: An interview with Megan Cuddy

Name: Megan Cuddy

Son’s name and age: Hudson, 5

Where are your favorite places to play in NWA? We love to be outside! We enjoy Naturals games, backyard barbecues, local parks, and golf cart rides.

Tell us about a “regular” day in your life:

After I get Hudson off to school, I typically head to my office at Economic Opportunity Agency (EOA) in Springdale. My work varies each day, but the mission remains. As the Director of Advancement, I strive to move the organization forward through fund development, marketing, communications, and community relations.

A regular workday could include securing donations, tours of EOA Children’s House, meeting with donors, writing a grant, managing social media for the organization, composing the newsletter, or planning an event. I currently serve on the Board of Directors for the Association of Fundraising Professionals, my typical day could also include some time spent fulfilling the obligations as board treasurer.

After my workday, evenings vary greatly from taking Hudson to one of his activities, a Junior League of Northwest Arkansas board meeting or general meeting, dinner out with my Diva Dinner Group, vegging at home on the couch with my family, or a combo of several of those activities.

How do you celebrate great things that happen in your life? Dinner and wine with friends.

laughWhat was the last thing you laughed out loud about? Probably something my 5 year old said, he is quite the comedian!

When you think of your home, what immediately comes to mind? My family

What’s something your friends might not know about you? I think most of my friends know pretty much all about me, I am a pretty open person.  If they don’t know it, then I probably don’t want it in this article :)

What’s something you’re looking forward to? We purchased land almost a year ago with the intention of building a house. We’ve had a few set-backs, but we are back on track. I am looking forward to establishing our new family home in Elm Springs.

What’s your favorite restaurant in this area? I have several – Pesto Café, Meiji, Guido’s Pizza, Crabby’s, MJ’s Pizza, The Steam, Iron Horse…I could keep going, there are so many great places to eat in NWA.

What makes you happy? Spending time with my friends and family….and naps, I love naps!

If your life was a movie, what would the title be? Organized Chaos

If you received a large sum of money and never needed to work again, what would you do? Donate to my favorite causes, make sure my close friends and family are taken care of, and then slow down, relax, and enjoy!

One word to sum me up: Inclusive

5 Minutes with a NWA Mom: An interview with a mama of 5, Kristen Hargett

kristen-hargettName: Kristen Hargett

Kid’s names and ages:

I have five kids – Matt is 13, Drew is 10, Bekah is 8, Jonathan is 2 and Nate is 3 months

Tell us about your newest addition!

Nate is our newest arrival and was born at the end of July.  He is such a trooper and the day after he came home from the hospital was hanging out at swim meets cheering on his brothers and sister as they swam in the Tristate Championships.  He was pretty popular at the meet being two days old ;).

He was my smallest kiddo – one pound smaller than his sister and over two pounds smaller than Matt!

What’s the best part of having a big family?

Haha all the birthday cake!

In all seriousness we love our family and love the memories we create together.  The kids are pretty close with each other and love having each other in their lives.

What’s the most stressful thing?

LaundryLaundry!  It’s never-ending!

What’s your favorite movie?

I’m not sure if I have a favorite but I enjoy suspense/thrillers but not popcorn flicks.

What did you want to “be” when you grew up?

My plan had been to go to law school.  I graduated high school a year early, came to JBU and was a pre-law/Political Science major, did a semester in Washington, DC interning for Congress and then kinda adjusted my plan along the way.  I went to grad school and completed the Master of Science Business Leadership & Ethics degree at JBU then went on to do a bulk of the Counseling program before deciding to stay home full time with the kids for this season of life.

What was the last thing you laughed out loud about?

Our two year old has gotten really into watching the Cubs play (my husband and I are from the Chicago area) and one morning woke up and instead of cartoons he pointed to the tv and asked for “bay-ball”

If you could master one skill you don’t have right now, what would it be?

I am LOVING watching the Chip & Joanna show on Netflix and seeing the way they completely redo a space — and on a budget.  I would so love to have that kind of talent.

What’s something your friends might not know about you?

That I struggle with insecurity.  I second guess a lot of what I do, write, say, what I wear, the whole shebang.

What would be your “perfect” day?

House clean (and stays that way the ENTIRE day!), spending time with my family — maybe even sleeping in! And someone else cooked and cleaned for all the meals.

If you were gifted with a large sum of money, how would you spend it?

sea-shellMaybe on a dream vacation.  We’ve always talked about renting a cottage on a beach (think “Beaches”) and spending time with my family there.  Most of our trips end up being going “home” to see family in the Chicago area.

Where’s your happy place?

Growing up my family would spend summers and getaways in Door County, Wisconsin.  Remembering our trips makes me happy.

What do you most want people to remember about you?

That I try to show people that I appreciate them.  I am the crazy mom that brings cookies to the hospital for the nurses and staff when I’m in labor ;)

You did what???

:) I gave them to everyone – the front desk registration clerk, my ob, anesthesiologist, nurses, janitors – everyone who was taking care of me — and had the keys to the medicine cabinets. I was induced at 39 weeks so I could make plans.  I decided to make my own hospital gown for this one, too ;)

You made your own hospital gown??

Haha yeah totally did!

kristen-h-homemade-hospital-gownOne word to sum me up:

I’m not good with one word things… I hope it would be kind.  That’s what I try to teach my kids to be.

5 Minutes with a NWA Mom: An interview with widow Robin Smith

robin-smith-and-her-late-husband-croppedName: Robin Smith

Kid’s names and ages: Trinity 36, India 24, Taylor 19

What are your favorite spots to visit in NWA?

I love to try new eateries…I used to do a lot of camping with my family and riding trails with friends, not so much these days…I also loved to entertain and cook for people I love.  I love being with my family.  WAC plays, Crystal Bridges…

We know your husband recently passed last year. What advice would you give another grieving wife?

Keep breathing.  Don’t let anyone try to tell you when and how you should grieve.  Accept help.  Trust God, even though you have no clue why this had to happen.  Keep talking to God even if you are mad.  Keep breathing, again.  Try visiting with a grief group.  Hospice in our area has 6 week grief classes often.  I found them helpful.  I have attended two sessions since my loss March 2015.  I speak with clergy.  I speak with a counselor friend.

I have found that I can cry anywhere without shame…the grocery store..a restaurant.  It is what it is.  Talk to your physician.  My physician has been a great help.  Keep breathing.  Your grief is your grief.  Do the best that you can.  There is no time limit.

How have you been able to keep going?

My kids…I want to spend as much time with them as possible before it is my time.  Faith in God.  If it weren’t for those two things, I’m not sure I would survive.

What do you most want people to remember about you?

Robin Smith

That I tried.  That I had the best of intentions.  That I loved.  That I tried to be selfless.  That I loved God and prayed for others.

What’s something your friends might not know about you?

I am hard on myself.  More than they know.

What’s a sure-fire way for you to wind down when you’re just exhausted?

In grief, just peaceful quiet.

If you could vacation anywhere in the world this winter, where would you go?

Somewhere beautiful and peaceful.  Hot or cold.

What’s something you’ve always wanted to learn?

To play the piano is one thing.  So I had my kids in piano for 8 years living vicariously through them.

What’s something that you would enjoy teaching others?

To be authentic.  Teaching myself this also.

What’s the last thing you took a picture of?

My sister and two people that she thinks a lot of.

What’s been the happiest moment in your life so far?

Marrying my best friend and him telling me often through our marriage that he has had a happy life with me… and becoming pregnant with my two bio children…I had to go through fertility…I ovulated twice and have two children to show for the efforts and God’s grace.

One word to sum me up:

K.C. Pummill & Julie Smith: The sisters behind the NWA Boutique Show

It’s no secret that we LOVE the NWA Boutique Show. We’ve been a media sponsor for years at the show and always have a booth there with a fun giveaway.

This year the show is on Nov. 11-12 and we’d love for everyone reading this to stop by and see us while they shop the show. There are over 150 unique boutiques represented and it’s just a beautiful event. The merchants pull out all the stops to decorate their booths and to offer awesome, quality items.

We also love two of the main mamas behind the show, K.C. Pummill and Julie Smith (pictured above, L to R). These two women are kind, considerate, organized and FUN, even when things are stressful leading up to the event weekend. K.C. is the mom of three children — two daughters and a son. Julie has three daughters — with a fourth baby girl on the way! Congrats, Julie! :)

We asked them a few questions about how the show got started — and what it takes to pull off such a massive event. Here, we pull back the curtain so you can see a little of the magic behind the Boutique Show!

A Q&A with (sisters) K.C. and Julie:

Sisters being silly

Sisters being silly

Q: We were surprised to find out a few years ago that you two are sisters! Are lots of people surprised by that fact?

A: We get it both ways! Some people get us confused for one another because we look alike, but some people have known us for years and didn’t even realize!

It’s always funny when a long-time merchant or business partner has that moment of realization.

Q: Did you two start out working together to bring the show to NWA?

A: Julie: K.C. started the show in 2006 with a small group of like-minded merchants (she was actually a merchant for the first several years of the show, while also heading it up!)

The show and its needs grew over the years..but it wasn’t until our mom “prayed me back from Texas” that I joined K.C. as the social media coordinator.

Q: What’s it like to work with your sister?

A: Julie: Ha! K.C. says she pays me to hang out with her! We love working together! Sometimes we get just about nothing done because we have so many other things to catch up on, but it is an awesome opportunity. We say our train of thought is more like a Ferris wheel… it takes a long time to get back around to business, but it’s pretty fun!

Q: Do you have lots of help?

A: K.C.: Oh yes! We have been fortunate to have a solid group of other mamas that enjoy coordinating the various aspects of the show. We’ve got some amazing ladies: Cathleen Hood, Kathy Wetsell, Vanessa Miller, Melanie Reeh, and Tiffany Haas. Plus our adorable, hard-working interns: Jordan Ragan, Hannah Gibson, and Emily Weech. It’s really like a close knit little family! We love getting to have an excuse to be around each other!

Q: How long has the show been running?

A: K.C.: Since 2006 we’ve done 12 shows. So we’ve been at it for 10 years!

Q: Why do you think so many people LOVE this show?

A: KC: We work really hard to cultivate a collection of incredible, quality merchants that will bring unique items to Northwest Arkansas. There’s a fun vibe, lots of energy, and it’s a great kick off to the holiday season! We’ve got festive music, decor, and food….there’s just a lot of energy in the place.

People are like, “Are you pumping oxygen in this place?! It’s like Vegas in here!”

We have hundreds of applications and we sort through them meticulously during merchant jury to select exactly the right mix for our audience. We stay really focused on our target audience.

The NWA Boutique Show team

The NWA Boutique Show team

Q: And we couldn’t help but notice you’ve helped lots of charities and merchants along the way, right?

A: Yes, we’ve been able to give tens of thousands of dollars away to local charities! We have a heart for small business and for our community. We support the projects of the Junior League of NWA , Fayetteville Junior Civic League, Salvation Army of Northwest Arkansas, The Women’s Auxiliary of NWA, Northwest Arkansas Arts Foundation, local schools and churches, CASA… and dozens more over the years!!!

We built this show essentially during a recession to help small business owners stay afloat when many couldn’t afford to have brick and mortars (physical stores).

For many merchants, this is their main source of revenue for the year!

boutique-show-logoQ: Tell us about the process of deciding which businesses get to be in the boutique show. How do they make the cut?

A: Returning merchants have first right of refusal each year. Then we look for merchants that bring something unique to the show or round out the mix. We look carefully at what they’re planning to bring –  limiting overlap is important to us, so shoppers get the most variety possible and merchants have less competition!

Q: Can you tell us about a few of the unique boutique newcomers this year?

A: Julie: We’re excited to have a few new booths geared toward kids, like Kindness and Joy Toys! In the stationary department, Paperwerk is bringing some fresh new designs for cards, journals, and invitations!

Locals will be happy to know that Hill City Popcorn will be joining us this year as one of the food vendors. Believe it or not, there are some NWA residents who haven’t gotten to experience this yumminess yet, so this will be a great treat for everyone!

presentGarden Living will be bringing some gorgeous, unique outdoor decor, so that’s fun and new!

We’ve really upped our fashion game over the last couple of years. This year, Hazel’s Haven, out of Fort Smith, will join us with some pieces that shoppers will LOVE!

Also just have to mention Bubble and Fizz Shop – this will be a perfect booth to grab some fun stocking stuffers for kids, tweens, and family members of all ages!

Q: If someone is on the fence about going to the show, what would you tell them?

A: K.C.:  You have more boutiques under one roof than both the NWA malls combined! Seriously – you could knock out your holiday shopping in one day!

Get a taste of 150 boutiques that would take you weeks to explore if you were going around town. So save gas money, come to the show, and finish up your Christmas list!

5 Minutes with a NWA Mom: An interview with French teacher Kelli Doss

Name: Kelli Doss

Kid’s names and ages:

Samantha (19) and Josephine (6) – They go by Sam and Jo.

What’s it like being a mom to one in elementary school and one in college?

I like being able to enjoy them one at a time. However, I wish they were growing up together.  Sam is having to miss Jo’s birthday parties which can be really hard.

Your daughter has a really cool major in college. What is it again?

Sam is majoring in Urban Studies with a concentration in Environmental Science and Sustainability.

eiffel-towerWhat was your college major?

I got a BSE in French from Arkansas State University.

How did you decide to be a French teacher?

I started taking French in 10th grade.  I totally adored my high school French teacher, Sheila Goodfellow.  She’s an amazing person and a wonderful teacher.  I just decided then and there that I wanted to be like her when I grew up.  She seemed so happy every day, full of so much life.

Was there another profession you considered when you were a kid?

When I was much younger I wanted to be a pharmacist (like my dad), an interior designer, or an aerobics instructor.

What was the last thing you laughed out loud about (in class)?

We played Pictionary today to review some holiday vocabulary.  We decided to play girls vs. boys.  The boys were cracking me up.  They would draw one single line and someone from their group would shout out the correct answer.  They were on fire!

What’s your favorite “me time” spot?

I love to hang out in my backyard.  It’s very peaceful.  I sit back there and dream of the deck that I hope to have one day.

If you could vacation anywhere in the world, where would it be?

I’ve been to a few countries in Europe, but never Germany.  I would really like to go to Germany and eat some good sausages, see some castles, and visit Dachau.

What’s something your friends might not know about you?

My friend know everything about me.  I have no filter.

the-secret-gardenWhat book has influenced you the most?

I don’t know if any books have influenced me, but I really love Memoirs of a Geisha and The Secret Garden.  Those are a couple of books that I have read more than once.  I do love to read.  I read much more in the summer.  During the school year, I unwind with Netflix.

What’s your favorite music and why?

I really love Madonna.  I think she’s amazing.  She’s not afraid to say or do anything.  I’ve been a fan since I was a child and have had the opportunity to her in concert 4 times.  Her shows are incredible!

OK, you once mentioned in a comment on Motherlode that to re-energize yourself you do a handstand against a wall. Is this still your go-to? :)

From time to time, I do need to do a handstand.  It feels truly incredible.  I hope it’s something I can always do.  Physical activity in general re-energizes me.  It’s amazing what a walk can do for my mind and body.

What do you most want people to remember about you?

Wow. This is tough question.  I hope people think I was real.  I have a hard time being anything but me.

One word to sum me up:

Al-Awlaki Asks Why 16-Year-Old Grandson Was Killed by Drone Strike

Abdulrahman al-Awlaki.

Though everyone already knew that U.S. forces killed American Al Qaeda preacher Anwar al-Awlaki in a 2011 drone strike, the Obama administration only admitted in May that he was among four Americans targeted overseas. The government’s justification for killing one of its own citizens without due process is still sketchy, though Attorney General Eric Holder assured us it was, “lawful, it was considered, and it was just.” The White House has been even more evasive about why al-Awlaki’s 16-year-old son was killed by a drone two weeks later, saying only that he and two other slain American citizens “were not specifically targeted by the United States.” In a devastating New York Times op-ed published Thursday, his grandfather, Nasser al-Awlaki demands to know why. “My grandson was killed by his own government,” he writes. “The Obama administration must answer for its actions and be held accountable.”

In the op-ed, Nasser al-Awlaki describes his grandson Abdulrahman as a typical teen who “watched The Simpsons, listened to Snoop Dogg, read Harry Potter and had a Facebook page with many friends.” In September 2011 he left home without permission because he wanted to find his father. He turned up at a cousin’s house in southern Yemen and called after learning of his father’s death to say he was coming home. Two weeks later, Abdulrahman, his teenage cousin, and five other people were killed in an open-air restaurant. al-Awlaki writes:

I visited the site later, once I was able to bear the pain of seeing where he sat in his final moments. Local residents told me his body was blown to pieces. They showed me the grave where they buried his remains. I stood over it, asking why my grandchild was dead.

Before his son was killed, Nasser al-Awlaki, with help from the American Civil Liberties Union and the Center for Constitutional Rights, filed a lawsuit challenging the government’s authority to carry out the “targeted killing” of Americans. After that case was dismissed on procedural grounds al-Awlaki filed another suit, and on Friday he’ll go before a federal court in Washington to continue seeking “answers and accountability.”

Dish makes advances on DirecTV

Charlie Ergen is looking for a ride — on Brian Roberts’ coattails.

With regulators about to begin considering the antitrust issues raised by combining two giant cable companies — Time Warner Cable and Roberts’ Comcast — the Dish Network boss is making advances on DirecTV.

Ergen’s thinking, sources said: If they let the No. 1 and No. 2 cable guys get together, why not us?

Ergen reached out to Mike White, CEO of rival DirecTV, soon after Comcast announced its $45 billion takeover of TWC on Feb. 13 — to discuss a possible hookup, according to a report.

But White brushed the thought aside, thinking regulators at the Department of Justice would never go for it.
Regulators rejected a previous marriage proposal between the two in 2002.

But 2002 might as well have been 1902, as the landscape has dramatically evolved in the last 12 years, with distributors claiming they’re competing with market-share-grabbing telcos and with a myriad of over-the-top online video plays like YouTube and Netflix.

“They’re going to let Comcast ram the gate open,” said one pay-TV industry veteran. “Charlie has been groping around with spectrum. He’s in a mess with LightSquared. They need each other to survive.”

Discussions within Dish, with 14 million subscribers, about approaching DirecTV and its 20 million subs have been in the wind since Comcast made its play for TWC, sources said.

The recent Ergen move was reported Wednesday by Bloomberg.

“It’s a great time to draft on the momentum that Comcast and [TWC] are going to achieve, and they will,” said industry consultant Jimmy Schaeffler of The Carmel Group.

Pay-TV subscribers fell by 251,000 last year, SNL Kagan reported earlier this month, while the satellite sector grew by a measly 170,000 subscribers.

Craig Moffett, cofounder of MoffettNathanson Research, wrote last year that the synergies of a merger between the two satellite players would be an eye-popping $30 billion — more than Dish’s $28 billion market cap.

In a report out Wednesday, Moffett said the odds of getting a Dish-DirecTV merger past Washington are “very, very low” because competition in the pay-TV market would be reduced from three rivals to two in 46 percent of the US.

In rural areas (about 9 percent of the US), options would go from two to one, Moffett wrote.
Dish and DirecTV declined comment.

News of the talks sent DirecTV shares up 5.7 percent, to $77.34. Dish shares popped 6.3 percent, to $62.09, Wednesday.

Acquisition and Custodial History

The California State Archives acquired the John L. Burton Papers following his final term in the State Legislature.

John Lowell Burton, Democrat, served in the California Legislature and United State House of Representatives from 1965 through 2004. He was first elected to the California State Assembly in 1965 and served through 1974. In 1974, Assembly Member Burton was elected to the Ninety-third United States Congress by a special election to fill the vacancy caused by the resignation of United States Representative William S. Mailliard. While in Congress, Burton served alongside his brother Phillip Burton, also a prominent member of Congress who was known for his advocacy of AIDS research. Burton was re-elected to the four succeeding Congresses, until leaving Congress in 1983. After a five year break from elected office, during which time he sought treatment for drug and alcohol abuse, Burton returned to the California State Assembly in 1988 and served until 1996. In 1996, he was elected to the California State Senate, where he served until 2004; from 1998 through 2004 he served as Senate Pro Tempore. His 3rd District included the cities of Belvedere, Corte Madera, Cotati, Fairfax, Larkspur, Mill Valley, Novato, Petaluma, Rohnert Park, Ross, San Anselmo, San Rafael, Sausalito, Tiburon, and Santa Rosa within the San Francisco, Sonoma, and Marin counties.
John Burton was born on December 15, 1932, in Cincinnati, Ohio, but was raised and educated in San Francisco, California. He graduated from San Francisco State College in 1954 and University of San Francisco Law School in 1960. He served in the United States Army in between his undergraduate and law school years from 1954 through 1956. After graduating law school, he was admitted to the bar and worked in a private practice law firm until he was elected to the State Assembly in 1965. After leaving the State Senate in 2004, he lobbied for Pacific Gas and Electric. Burton was twice served as the California Democratic Party chair in 1973-1974 and again in 2009. He founded the John Burton Foundation in 2004, a non-profit organization and dedicated to improving the quality of life for California's homeless children and developing policy solutions to prevent homelessness.and He has one daughter, Kimiko.
As a State Legislator, Burton's legislative interests were varied, but his main efforts focused on asset forfeiture, CalGrant scholarships, occupational safety and worker's compensation, CalPERS and CalSTRS benefits, California's enforcement of the McBride Principles in Northern Ireland, medical licensing for subacute care facilities, ethical treatment of animals, domestic violence, tribal-state contracts, ocean and environmental protection, and open meetings and access to government information. In 1994, Senator Burton introduced bills relating to poverty which mocked his opponents' vague campaign statements, a technique that he employed on a few occasions during the remainder of his tenure.
During his term in the California Legislature, Burton served on the following committees according to the California Legislature at Sacramento (Handbooks) and the California Blue Book:

Scope and Content

The John Burton Papers consist of 17.5 cubic feet of textual records and audio/visual materials. The records are organized into the following record series: Bill Files, 1987-2004; Hearing Files, 1992; Asset Forfeiture Files, 1987-1996; and Press and Media Files, 1997-2004. The Papers do not cover Burton's 1965-1974 time in the Assembly. The Bill Files document Burton's legislative activity during his term as a member of the California State Legislature. As an Assembly Member and Senator, Burton introduced several bills dedicated to some of the pressing issues among his constituency in San Francisco (for example, AB95, AB1418, and AB4230 in the 1989-1990 session; SB1008 and SB1215 from the 1997-1998 session) although he devoted much of his legislative energy to a handful of major issues facing California.
Burton sought to create legislation which would enforce California's observance of the McBride Principles in Northern Ireland during the ethnic conflict in the early 1990s. The legislation he introduced placed financial ultimatums on California firms that conducted business with Irish companies in violation of the McBride Principles (AB2443 from 1989-1990; AB1330 from 1991-1992; AB1527 from 1993-1994; SR8 from 1997-1998; and SB105 from 1999-2000). Burton also introduced several bills designed to increase the financial and physical safety of people in need of workers' compensation and sought to strengthen occupational safety (for example, AB2277 and AB3587 (1991-1992 session); AB1002, AB1003, and AB2634 (1995-1996); and SB424, SB1407, SB1705 (2001-2002). He was a strong advocate of alternative medicine (such as AB1552, ACR150 from the 1993-1994 session; AB1002, AB1003, AB2690 and AB2696 from the 1995-1996 session), particularly acupuncture and naturopathic medicine. Burton also introduced bills relating to correctional facilities and procedures, the prison system, and the death penalty (for example, AB713, AB1294, AB1871, AB2246, AB 2256, AB2302, AB2373, AB3586, and AB3675 (1991-1992); much of this legislation sought to ease penalties on women who were in prison for murdering their domestic abusers. Similarly, he introduced tough legislation protecting women and children against domestic violence (such as AB2167 from 1989-1990; AB25, AB197, AB226, AB2472, AB88X, AB93X, AB95X, AB97X, and ACR10 (1993-1994) and advocated for affordable, responsible infant and child care (SB542 and SB1241 from the1999-2000 session and SB1897 from 2003-2004). He widened the scope of the CalGrant program for students seeking higher education (SB1787 and SB1788 from the 1999-2000 session). Burton also advocated for the ethical treatment of animals (horse tripping bills AB2537 and AB49X in 1993-1994 and SB1520 regarding force-fed birds in 2003-2004) and the environment (SB1562, the California Resources Legacy Bond Act in 1999-2000; SB1318, the Water Security, Clean Drinking Water, Coastal and Beach Protection Act of 2002; and SB1319, establishing the Ocean Protection Council in 2003-2004).
One of Burton's primary political causes was protecting innocent people from asset forfeiture due to false suspicion of illegal drug activity. Previous to 1994, if a person was suspected of growing, manufacturing, or trafficking illegal drugs, law enforcement had the right to seize any property that may be connected from drug trafficking, including suspected profits from the trade. Because of this law many innocent people lost homes, vehicles, land property, and even cash. Burton's efforts recognized the several individuals affected by this law. The Asset Forfeiture Files includes the background, studies, and press articles Burton collected on the issue, and in 1993 he turned his concern for innocent victims into legislation with AB114.

No further accruals are expected.

Collection Overview
Table of contents What's This?
The papers of American physician Sylvester Maxwell Lambert (1882-1947) relate primarily to his public health work for the International Health Board of the Rockefeller Foundation. He worked in this capacity in Oceania between 1918 and 1939, documenting the prevalence of hookworm and working to eradicate ankylostomiasis (hookworm disease). The bulk of the collection is Lambert's research materials, which comprise first-hand accounts written by both Lambert and his aides, and were used as references for Lambert's memoir A Yankee Doctor in Paradise, co-written by Wallace Irwin. Other significant series are correspondence, Lambert's medical and personal writings, and photographs and lantern slides documenting primarily Pacific Islanders and village scenes.
Born in New York on December 28, 1882, Sylvester M. Lambert graduated from Hamilton College in 1903 and from Syracuse University in medicine in 1908. During the summer of 1907, Lambert took a position as a medical nurse with the Southern Pacific Railroad in Mexico where he met Eloisa Tays, whom he married in 1912. After practicing medicine in Mexico until 1916, Lambert joined the United Fruit Company Medical Service in Costa Rica for two years. Twice during this time Lambert was rejected for commission in the Medical Service of the United States Government because of his poor eyesight, so he opted instead to join the Rockefeller Foundation in July of 1918.

    The Uplifters Club derived from the dinner meetings of a group of Los Angeles Athletic Club members, prominent amongst whom was Harry Marston Haldeman. Their first official dinner as Uplifters was held on December 10, 1913 and their purpose was to "uplift art, promote good fellowship and build a closer aquaintance," among members. Social traditions that were established in addition to the dinner meetings included Annual Outings and Poets' Dinners, and High Jinx. L. Frank Baum was a founder member and wrote the official song, "Haldeman."
    During the twenties, the Uplifters acquired a country home in Rustic Canyon, Santa Monica, which was incorporated in 1920, after which the history of the management of Country Home and the Uplifters Social Club are intertwined. A Club house was built and dedicated in 1923 and other facilities added included a polo field. Social events continued through the thirties and, gradually dwindling in number, into the forties. The Club ended in 1947.

Comments on: Update on Roman House occupation; Teach out: the City’s secret finances & lobbying activities Sun, 11 May 2014 22:46:52 +0000 hourly 1 By: occupylsx Thu, 26 Jan 2012 13:21:22 +0000 think will take a bit more than that!

By: Barbican Investment Banker Wed, 25 Jan 2012 23:00:21 +0000 This article is very interesting.

I fully understand the concerns of local residents abhorrence to the presence of the Occupy protesters.

The thought of having these people roaming around the Barbican concerns me, there are children who regurlary visit the Centre, there is a school. Who would want their children to walk through a protest, or experience conflict between the Police and protesters. Have a thought for the teachers supervising 30 children in the midst of a protest. The truth here is, schools will not visit the Centre due to schools concerns with the safety of their pupils.

The departure of protesters from Roman House is welcomed, but I feel the real reasons for the departure is a deception from the truth.

The movement claim :-
“Occupy London was contacted by individual workers employed by Berkeley Homes who were concerned for their job security as it transpired they were recently employed to help renovate the building.”

Berkley Home statement was :-
“It is not safe for public use, there are holes in the floors and we are in the early stages of asbestos removal”

The thought of day to day exposure to asbestos would drive anyone out.

One other observation, the Barbican residents comments on this forum are a stark contrast to the Occupy statement:-
“Response from local residents was tremendous with some coming up to occupiers to wish them support and find out more.”

By: Emily Wed, 25 Jan 2012 17:12:47 +0000 Finally someone talks some sense! I’m not a fan of vehment hatred for capitalism, it wasn’t capitalism that got us into this mess, it was cronyism and there is a huge difference.

By: Phil Wed, 25 Jan 2012 10:25:31 +0000 It’s too easy to simply ‘blame the banks’. The cause of the recession was massive and unsustainable private debt, which brought the creditors down – i.e. the banks – and which governments decided to underwrite.

Nobody forced people to take out multiple credit cards, or to buy houses costing several hundred thousand (in your currency of choice) with 120% mortgages on interest only despite barely earning above minimum wage. Banks made this very easy for people, but the blame must be shared among all.

By: Bryan Lawrence Wed, 25 Jan 2012 07:48:34 +0000 The people of Occupy certainly represent ME. When I look at what my local council, county council and national government do, I see that NONE of it is for me or my fellow citizens. It is always for the benefit of a large company of some sort. When we have a plan in place for self-build housing on ex-government land, then I MIGHT have time for our ‘leaders’. Until then, the only people with any real vision of a better quality of life is the Occupy movement. Telling them to ‘get a job’ serves no purpose whatsoever. They have jobs – informing us, the blinkered public 99%.

By: Another Barbican Resident Tue, 24 Jan 2012 20:00:48 +0000 The source was the employees themselves, on the day before Pasha closed down, thanks to your presence and the impossibility of anyone getting to their shop for the first weeks of your so-called ‘occupation’ – i.e trespassing and fouling a beautiful part of my home City.

By: Chicken Suit Tue, 24 Jan 2012 18:38:40 +0000 Don’t get distracted by ‘tittle tattle’. It is important that we challenge the authorities who are abusing their power and keeping secrets whilst proclaiming ‘transparency’. The treasury when selling the Gold, The RBS bonuses when we are ‘Shareholders’ the exploitation of the workers … Action does make small differences, intelligent words can change people.

By: James Newman Tue, 24 Jan 2012 12:11:50 +0000 “You have no idea what you are doing. You are an embarrassment to us genuine, peaceful lefties.”

I’m embarrassed by someone who calles themselves genuine and peaceful as if to suggest the rest of us in Occupy are neither. Like Simon said, If your not brave enough to do the action then you shouldn’t be insulting those who are brave enough.

“And you won’t even publish this comment, such is your commitment to “freedom”. Wimps.”

Another assumption about the occupy movement that has been proven wrong. Have you never been to an Occupy camp?

By: Pierre Tue, 24 Jan 2012 09:35:43 +0000 Oxford City Council works a lot like this, the University owns so much land and has so much influence that the city almost has a system of dual-power.

By: John Tue, 24 Jan 2012 03:18:43 +0000 nice piece and we steamrolled the trolls in the comments…

View Full Version : SOMEBODY tell me why the fuck these guys are doing so well!!!

06-11-2007, 12:30 AM
The Last Act of Defiance. They are a local band here in Tucson. They are full of themselves and their music is terrible. But people eat them up. They are ALWAYS getting huge shows (Reel Big Fish, Authority Zero, Saves the Day, RX Bandits, Gym Class Heroes, Plain White T's, Bayside, just to name a few) and it makes no sense whatsoever. I have inadvertantly seen them live about 3 times and I've yet to be impressed. Somebody tell me I'm not going crazy!

06-11-2007, 12:40 AM
Uh, wow, how the fuck do they get shows? They sound pretty boring to me.

06-11-2007, 12:52 AM
MY band is better than them, and I don't even think too highly of MY band. And believe me, they are even worse live than they are in these recordings.

06-11-2007, 02:12 AM
They've got a quality that people already know in the music they listen to and respond to. It's not about who's better - don't be a tool and blindly go on believing that it is.

06-11-2007, 09:07 AM
Oh, I didn't mean to have it come across like I think we deserve all this attention and they don't. I just meant to say that I don't think to highly of my own band and I think that they are worse than us. I just don't see the appeal (or talent) that these guys have.

06-11-2007, 12:30 PM
Didn't like Pennyless Thoughts and Vinegar, but I could at least tolerate the other 3 if they had a different singer. I don't really like his singing. Bandwagon is their best song.

06-11-2007, 01:28 PM
Aw, someone's jealous!

06-11-2007, 01:30 PM
Don't like them but I see why people like them.

06-11-2007, 02:55 PM
They sound pretty shit. They definitely aren't the first shit band to find a following and get gigs.

06-11-2007, 05:12 PM
Because people post threads about them on forums.

EDIT: Does Bandwagon remind anyone of a crappy Don't Drag Me Down by Social D?

06-11-2007, 05:26 PM
It kinda reminds me of that song Dain. But I can't see how posting this on a forum would get them success. They still suck.

06-11-2007, 05:32 PM
They do suck. I got sick of that Bandwagon song in one minute, and I tried listening to some of the others. They really do suck. Tell them to go listen to some Led Zeppelin, then they'll know real music.

06-11-2007, 05:42 PM
WHat I'm saying is even though Thomas is saying they suck, he's still giving them free promotion.

06-11-2007, 06:34 PM
Don't worry, it's the same everywhere. It's not a matter of who's better, but a matter of who can sell the most tickets.

But yeah, they do suck. A lot.

06-11-2007, 07:04 PM
hey guys while you're at it, check out my band http://myspace.com/dtoxrockers

06-11-2007, 07:13 PM
Good work. I give it a 5/5.

06-13-2007, 08:19 PM
I actually went to go see them again last night. The vocals were actually clear. I was surprised. Of course, all the songs were very simple and they still didn't show any talent anywhere, but they got a bit better from the last time i saw them.

And Dain, if it's making a negative image for them here, is it really promotion?

06-13-2007, 08:38 PM
All publicity is good publicity?

06-13-2007, 08:40 PM
Exactly, just because your saying there bad doesn't mean that everyone you link them to is going to hate them. You will probably gain them a fan or two by putting the link here.

06-13-2007, 08:56 PM
Which is fine by me as long as they explain what exactly appeals to them. I didn't come to here to lower their fanbase, I just wanted to make sure I'm not crazy for not liking them.

06-13-2007, 09:15 PM
Bad Publicity FTW! [/whoringband]

06-19-2007, 03:14 PM
the recordings i do all by myself sound better then that...they genuinly suck!:p

A Big Difference

Last week appears to have been the last time during which the Legislature will meet in 2011. While the Legislature could technically still return this week, it is unlikely we will do so.

The last few days of this legislative year contrasted heavily from the last days of previous sessions. I think this is probably the first year where I did not feel like I had been run over by a truck during the last two days of session.

During the last two days of session in previous years, countless numbers of legislative initiatives were placed on the House of Representatives’ calendar with little notice. These proposals contained any number of suspicious proposals that did not have time to be vetted by public purview. This was possible because House rules at that time did not require bills to wait on the calendar prior to consideration in the last two days.

Legislators were asked to vote on a large number of provisions they had little time to read. You can only imagine how challenging it was to read large bills that had just been posted to the calendar a few minutes before they were put on the floor for a vote. This had to be completed while listening to debate, considering other bills being debated at the same time, and which also had just been placed on the consideration calendar. It was a gargantuan task.

During those last days of session, I used to spend a great deal of time rapidly scanning through page after page of proposed legislation in an attempt to catch any new proposals contrary to the principles on which I base my vote.

I am delighted to report this year that things were much different. The new House rules dictated that legislation must be processed through a public conference committee process, and required the proposals to be placed on a legislative calendar with several hours of notice to lawmakers and the public.

There were several bills that contained new proposals, and in some cases, amendments were attached to bills in the conference committee process which were significantly different from the previously vetted version of the bill. However, it was not difficult to keep up with the legislation because it was placed on the calendar for consideration and the new House conference committee process allowed for the public vetting of many of these new proposals. This made it far less likely that a legislator would vote for a bill only later to realize that it contained a proposal of significant impact which he/she did not support.

There was no significant need for a last-minute rapid scan of the bills shortly before the vote. In addition, the House only had to work late only two nights of the last week. The practice of deliberating policy proposals late into the night hours is a habit that leads to very bad policy making.

I am convinced that the new rules deterred a lot of possible legislative mischief because legislators would surely have hesitated to introduce controversial proposals into the new process. It is my opinion that these latest rule changes are dramatic in scope and have made a substantive positive difference in the legislative process.

One More Week!

Legislative leaders negotiated a budget agreement with the Governor last week and came to terms with proposals for redistricting the House and Senate. With these issues addressed, legislators have been encouraged to move their bills through the conference committee process with the expectation that the group could adjourn for the year as soon as this week.

The House officially approved the redistricting plan I wrote about in last week’s update. The plan experienced little opposition and was adopted by a vote of 93-3. It now heads to the Senate for approval.

The Senate has also announced their redistricting plan. The Senate plan will reduce the number of Senate districts which crisscross House District 31. Four of these districts currently divide up Logan County. Logan County will now be placed into Senate District 20. The new Senator for Logan County will be Senator David Myers from Ponca City. This district will also cover all of Noble, Pawnee, and part of Kingfisher Counties. Logan County accounts for over 50% of the population of the new district.

The change will also affect the Edmond legislative delegation; a third Senator, Senator Rob Johnson, will join the group as the Senator for the west side of Edmond. The Senate will vote on their plan this week, and that vote will be followed by House consideration of the plan.

There are a number of state government modernization issues that are still working their way through the conference committee process. It will be my responsibility this week to ensure that these issues don’t get lost in the process and will hopefully be approved and sent to the Governor.

The outstanding modernization issues include the proposal to consolidate five state government agencies, establish a business-friendly licensing one-stop shop, consolidate the state’s information technology infrastructure, create a series of taxpayer transparency review processes, consolidate the state’s payroll processing infrastructure systems, and enact the Governor's proposal to the save significant taxpayer dollars through the use of an electronic payments system for the state’s vendors.

There are many millions of taxpayer dollars of savings at stake with these bills. I hope to have good news to report next week.

This will also be the last week that the House District 31 constituent survey is available. If you have not had a chance to take the survey and you live in House District 31, please visit and let me know what you think about some of the issues the Legislature has considered this year.

A Little Thing I Wrote for Shades

Have you read Shades: The Departed?

Shades is an online free magazine that is well worth reading.

I've directed you to the April issue on the Civil War. If you turn to page 46 you will find an article called "Civil War Costume" which I wrote for the magazine. It's illlustrated with over 30 Civil War era photographs.

Don't miss the other articles in the April issue, they are all excellent. The May issue can be found online as can all other back issues.

Mary said...

Very interesting article and that is a great publication.

Lisa Wallen Logsdon said...

This was a VERY helpful article. I have 5 photos that I believe are all tin types (is that the only one a magnet will stick to?) 3 of them have the stamps on the back. These five photos have been one of my hardest brick walls. I don't know who they are but they have to be family and I've nearly worn my brain out trying to discover who they all are. If I could have one wish......

Cindy Bergeron Scherwinski said...

Terrific post and I love Shades. Thanks ..

What a Story I Have to Share!

Coffin Plate of Isaac Vollck 1831-1904
Today I became the very excited owner of the coffin plate of my 2nd great grandfather, Isaac Vollick.

Isaac was born in 1832 in what was then Upper Canada (present day Ontario) and he died in 1904 in Hillsdale, Simcoe Co. Ontario. I've never found his gravestone or burial site, nor his wife's even though I know what cemetery they are in.

I hear you asking "ok what's a coffin plate and why is this a great story?"

Coffin plates were decorative adornments attached to the coffin that contain free genealogical information like the name and death date of the deceased. After the funeral service, these plates were often given to family to take home as a memorial to the deceased.

My becoming the owner of this coffin plate is an amazing story. I call it The Domino Effect, meaning everything had to fall into place, one tiny moment at a time.  Here is how it happened, step by step:

1.  Last week I realized I could not log into my website AllCensusRecords.com as I did not remember my password. No amount of searching found it so I did the usual thing - hit the "I forgot my password" link on my webhost. No problem, they email a new temporary password. But I wasn't sure what email address I had used to sign up on this host.

2. After checking my main email addresses with no luck (no response from the web host) I realized my account must be under a very old email address I haven't used in years. I rarely check mail there even though I do still have access. But off I went and yep, the password was there.

But what was even more interesting was an email, months old, from Gary French, the author of "Men of Colour: An Historical Account of the Black Settlement on Wilberforce. Street and in Oro Township, Simcoe County, Ontario 1819-1949"

Gary was writing to me about my husband's black ancestor, Jonathan Butler, who settled in the Queen's Bush (near Waterloo Ontario) circa 1834. It seems Gary had found some evidence that pointed to Jonathan being originally from Pennsylvania. This was a very exciting lead as we had not been able to find any record of where in the USA he came from. So I quickly replied to Gary's email, hoping he was still interested and still at the same email addy.

Isaac Vollick 1831-1904
3. After a few emails back and forth, I casually mentioned in closing that I thought we had a "sort of" connection, as I knew that a son in his French family married a daughter of one of my Vollick family in Elmvale. When Gary wrote back I almost fell off my chair. This is what he said "..
I am interested in them [the Vollicks] as important settlers in the Elmvale/Orr Lake area. By coincidence, I recently purchased the coffin plate of Isaac Vollick (the one who died in 1904). macabre, but a very Victorian artifact."
 I was so excited. Not only was this MY Isaac Vollick (my great great grandpa) but my husband and I collect coffin plates! We have over 200 in our collection and my husband has put many of them online on AncestorsAtRest in hopes descendants will spot an ancestor.

4. Immediately I responded, telling Gary about our own coffin plate collection and how the coffin plate he had was for my 2nd great grandfather. Then I asked Gary to consider selling the plate to me IF and WHEN he ever decided he no longer wanted it.

5. Gary agreed to sell it to me since I had such a strong family connection, even though he does not sell the items he finds which have some connection to Flos Township in Simcoe County. One of his missions is to find and preserve as many historical artifacts as he can for this local area.

Coffin Plate displayed and sold as a tray
And so this morning hubby and I drove to Gary's office and the coffin plate was turned over to me to preserve and cherish. But the story does not end there. I asked Gary where he found the coffin plate and his reply gave me shivers!

He found it in an antique store in Barrie - one which my husband and I go to frequently. The plate had been turned upside down (see photo on right) and was being sold as a tray!

For some reason Gary picked it up and turned it over. To his surprise he realized it was actually a coffin plate for a Vollick! Since he recognized the surname and knew they settled in Elmvale he purchased it to add to his collection of historical artifacts for the area.

And that is how I came to be the very happy and grateful owner of my great-great-grandfather's coffin plate. No doubt his widow Lydia carried it home with her and after her death most likely one of her daughters took it to her home. And so, 104 years later, the coffin plate has come to me. I will have it framed along with a photo I have of Isaac and Lydia, then in turn it will eventually go to one of my sons.

And that is what I call serendipity and an item wanting to be found.

This is absolutely amazing! I always love the journey of searching family history and it is amazing to read all of your findings on your blog. Your information and suggestions and own family stories give me hope that someday I will actually find some answers that I seek. My families are very elusive and I have hit several brick roads. This story gives me faith that the answers are there, just have to keep with it and have patience.

Olkhon island

Welcome to Olkhon island, the biggest island in Baikal, with steep mountains on the Eastern shore. The western shore ends with the many bays of the Maloye More. The island is 72 kilometers long and 15 kilometers wide with a population of 1500 people. The major occupations are fishing and cattle berding. The island's aboriginal people are Buryats. The "capital" of the island is Khuzhir. Scientists still debate whether "Olkhon" translates as "little forest" or "dry" as both names fit well. The amount of precipitation is extremely low here - about 240 mm per year.

Olkhon has a great combination of landscapes and is rich with archeological landmarks. It was the first place on Baikal where Russian explorers visited during the 17th century). Olkhon is the geographical, historical and sacred center of Baikal, the heart of many legends and fairy tales and is believed to the home of many Baikal spirits. Legends say that Khan Gutababai came here and was sent by high spirits from the Heavens. He was the head of all khans. His son Shubunkua still lives here as a white eagle.

Olkhon has many beautiful places, and everyone discovers his or her own beautiful place on Olkhon. Below are descriptions of some of the most popular tourist locations. We love our island, and want to preserve it as is please: do not cut wild flowers or kill animals. If you come to Olkhon in a car, please, use old roads, as it takes fragile soil of Olkhon long to recover.

Please, watch the campfires to prevent forest fires. Do not bury your garbage, save sacred places if you want to learn more about Olkhon, visit the local history museum in Khuzhir. There is a rich collection of artifacts that tell the story of many traditions, as well as the daily life of people of Olkhon.

Zagli Bay - the sunniest place in the Irkutsk region. The number of sunny days per year is more than at the coast of the Black Sea.

Kobylia Golova Cape (Horse Head, Khorin Irgi) - resembles a horse, drinking water from the lake. This is the first cape you see when you cross the channel by ferry. Legends say that warriors of Ghengis-Khan stayed here. Sarma, the most ferocious wind on Baikal blows here, and the name comes from the river and valiey that lay across the Maloye More.
Khaday Mountain - the highest pass between the ferry dock and Khuzhir. Shamanists pray here and give offerings to the spirits.
Khargoy Cape - attracts tourists with its simple beauty. Here one finds remains of an ancient Kurykan's wall. (Kurykan is the name of nation that lived here). Scientists still argue if this wall served as a sacred place or a hiding place.

Lake (bay) Khankhoy
(Elgai, Yalga) - the most popular tourist location for those who want to stay in tents. During the summer, the water gets pleasantly warm and people are able to go swimming and fishing. It is isolated from Baikal (by a thin, natural sand bar). There is no wood available for campfires in this area.

Burkhan Cape (Shaman Rock) - known as one of the palaces of Heaven's gods, tendril, and one of Asia's most sacred places. This is the most famous of Olkhon's capes. Here, many testimonies of ancient people's lives were found. The strongest of heavenly tangries (gods) chose Shaman Rock to be his home, and people were not allowed to go there. Many years ago people used to cover hooves of their horses so as not to disturb the great spirit and master of the rock. Now people are not supposed to think negatively or behave badly here.

Saraysky Bay Beach - goes for 3 km from Burkhan Cape to Kharantsy village. It is a place where in summer one can relax on hot sand and listen to the music of the waves and contemplate the great panorama of the mountains across the Maloye More.
Sandy Beach of Ulan-Khushin Bay - and its surroundings greet you with blossoming thyme and larch trees, and appears as if it comes from a faire tale it is said that it keeps it's own spirits and secrets.
Peschanka Bay - another unique place with sand dunes that move as the time passes. There are heaps of flowers on each of the dunes and many trees with open roots. Recently here were the demolished buildings of the Maloye More fishery, where prisoners worked shortly after the 2nd World War. The only places that keep memories of that time are the peer and fragments of the buildings. The old, abandoned cemetery in the nearby forest is difficult to find.
Sagan-Khushun, White Cape, or Three Brothers - is made of light marbles which are covered with red lichen. The beauty of this place was described by the famous Russia writer Valentin Rasputin: "I would choose this place as a grave for Ghengis-Khan. And I would bring here people with different sins to show them what they are fighting against; I wish poor souls found here relief, ill people - health, and people with big egos - humility."

Khoboy - the most northern care of Olkhon, when looked at from the water, it resembles a woman's profile. You can hear multi-voiced echoes reflected by a great boulder and meet rare plants. From the cape you can overlook the great panoramic view of Maloye and Bolshoye More, and it the weather is good - Ushkanii Islands and Svyatoy Nos (Eastern Shore of the lake). Someone once said that Khoboy seems to be the end of the Earth - as it is surrounded by water. "Khoboy" means "tusk". If you are lucky, you can see seats that come to sun bathe on the rocks below. It is one of the sacred places on Baikal.

Uzury - is a valley that brings you to the Bolshoye More, where there is a great panoramic view of Baikal. It is the only valley with easy access to the water in the north of the island. Here is a little settlement with a few research from The Russian Academy of Science including the Institute of the Earth's Crust.

Shara-Nury Lake - the so-called "salted lake". Mud from the lake is believed to heat different illnesses, including arthritis in summer it is pleasantly warm and is good for swimming.

Tashkiney (Teshkine) Valley - is a great valley with a creek flowing into Baikal it is bordered by huge rocks and is rich with life. Marry wild currents, flowers and various plants are found here.
Idebe (Yagida) Valley - a valley with a great natural world, where flowers change quickly all summer, coloring it blue, pink and lilac. August brings many mushrooms here. A rock called "Warrior Shushke-Bukha" stands in the forest nearby.
Zhima - is the highest mountains on Olkhon. It is a sacred place where, as legends say, lived the Master of Olchon. Here, Fragments of Bhuddist hut called "mankhos" are found. On the western side, relicts of spruce trees grow that were found by Nikolai Reviakin, a teacher from the local school, in 1963. Traditionaly, women were not allowed to go up the mountain.
