Madonna

Well, I mean, they even dissed her at the VMA's!!!Let's get off her...What do think about Miley Cyrus? Has the whole world gone nuts?

Who doesn't Ames??? I'm really retire gracefully! Let's don't even go into her movie career....

Perhaps I could just through random facts out into useless empty space since no one's listening such as i hate madonna. I mean, she can't sing. And for goodness sake, put on some pants! All see ever wears in her videos (of crappy songs) is underwear. Granted, she does look better at 50 than I do know, but geratric madonna needs pants!

I guess that would be a no on that...since it looks like I'm the only one still checking randomly. Does that mean I can say anything I want since no one's listening? If a tree falls, and the like....ah well, at least I can sorta use the camera well. I mean we only had like 6 classes so that ain't half bad.

Joe Arnold's Final Projuct

Hello blog. As you can see this is my photostory for the final project. His name is Larry Crossno and he does many things for an old guy. One thing he likes to do the most is collect different things. As you can see from the photos he collects things like Yu-gi-oh cards, swords, guns, and bells. Not only that, from these photos you can see that he works on bikes and his house. The thing is that he has been working on this house for quite awhile. As I was talking with him I wanted to find out more about his house and the changes he was making to it. I learned many things while I was taking a tour of his house and found things like how he had been working on it for 11 years. As far as the bikes pictures go, it was like a hobby for him to build things as well as play a popular card game among little children called Yu-gi-oh in his spare time. He also works on different projects like concrete cementing and buildings warehouses. As you can tell, he tries to keep himself as busy as he can. I hope you guys enjoy the photos that I have submitted to this blog and I hope everyone has a great summer.

Randy Sams' Outreach Shelter - Lindsey Frankovich

On any given night, in the greater Texarkana community there are over 250 individuals, who are homeless. The Randy Sams‘ Outreach Shelter serves to try and stop the cycle of homelessness. The shelter helps families and individuals who are homeless or at risk of homelessness such as men, women, children, veterans, the hungry, the low-income, and those who are unemployed or underemployed. Every year the shelter serves over 7,000 clients, that includes, the shelters residents and people within the community. To date, Randy Sams’ has transitioned over 500 clients to permanent housing.

The primary mission of the shelter is to provide meals and a place to sleep for the homeless, other services include, life skills training, employment referral, social security advocacy, medical referrals and escort, and prescription drug assistance.
About 55 residents, including 8 – 10 women, call the shelter home. At Randy Sams’ they are able to seek refuge from the harsh elements of the streets. The 90-Day Resident Program allows all residents to meet with the on-site Case Manager in order to obtain permanent housing and employment.
The Spirit of St. Michael’s, medical van comes once a week to offer screenings and medical advice to the residents. Many volunteers come into the shelter to serve the residents food, help with can food drives, organize and help with the up keep. Every evening a church group or a group of individuals come in to prepare and serve dinner. The shelter was founded in 1993, after the death of Randy Sams. Having been an active member in the soup kitchen at St. James Episcopal Church, Randy’s parents donated the land and the seed money to start the shelter.
Although the Randy Sams’ Outreach Shelter provides refuge for its’ clients, this is only the first step in combating homelessness.

Days at the Dairy Farm

Hey Everyone. My final project was on a Dairy Farm. I tried to get different elements of the farm. The family that I know that runs the farm live in Maud, Texas. They moved to Maud from Pennsylvania. The Barnhart family has been in the dairy farming business for as long as Richard (the father) can remember. He grew up in this business. Richard and his wife, Kelly, have four kids, Kevin, Brian, David and Lindsey. Richard's sons help around on the farm when they can. Brian, his second oldest, is a student at Texarkana College, and plans to take over the farm one day. 

I'm a country girl, so I enjoyed learning more about how the dairy farm processes happen. They were very willing to tell their story through photos.

Thanks for a great semester everyone. I've enjoyed this class, and have learned so much.  

Kelley Owens Photo Story: Ultimate

Ultimate combines the non-stop movement and athletic endurance of soccer with the aerial passing skills of football, the game of Ultimate is played by two seven-player squads with a Frisbee on a field similar to football. The object of the game is to score by catching a pass in the end zone. A player must stop running while in possession of the Frisbee, but may pivot and pass to any of the other receivers on the field. Ultimate is a transition game in which players move quickly from offense to defense on turnovers that occur with a dropped pass, an interception, a pass out of bounds, or when a player is caught holding the disc for more than ten seconds. Ultimate is governed by Spirit of the Game, a tradition of sportsmanship that places the responsibility for fair play on the players rather than referees. Ultimate is played in more than 42 countries by hundreds of thousands of men and women, girls and boys. While there are no Ultimate leagues in Texarkana there are a couple of places to get in on pick-up games.
