Day 2 - Our second day in Charleston, SC started off at a slower pace than Day 1 because our daughter-in-law, Nicole, had some work to do in the morning. Our son, Joe, had a scheduled call with a client later in the afternoon but assured us that he could take the call while we were out. Laptops and cell phones are great inventions and essential to life these days but it means there is no vacation from work anymore. The kids are used to it though and oftentimes they earn a vacation day back. I keep forgetting they are "at work" and talk to them. They are very patient with me but I'm sure that I make their work days longer!
The first thing on our agenda for the day was to eat lunch at Rodney Scott's BBQ. Joe and Nicole had first heard of Rodney Scott when he appeared briefly on Anthony Bourdain's Parts Unknown.
Rodney Scott is well known in BBQ circles and Bourdain says "sought after world wide for his whole hog barbecue." Scott cooks his hogs slowly, which means all night in the pits for 12 hours. Scott recently left his dad and son in charge of the family's place in Hemingway, SC so he could open up shop in Charleston. Walking up to his restaurant was not what I expected. It looks like your typical fast food place. You look up at the menu above the cashiers and order your meal. But take one bite out of your smokey, juicy sandwich and you know this is not fast food. Me and Nicole had the Fried Catfish Fillet and Soko and Joe had the Whole Hog BBQ sandwich. We all chose a different side but, of course, had to pass them around so we could try a bite of each one. We chose mac & cheese, hush puppies, cole slaw and baked beans. Scott makes the traditional North Carolina barbecue sauce which is a thin vinegar based sauce. He says that mustard should only be put on a hot dog so he doesn't make the traditional South Carolina mustard based sauce. We were stuffed but really wanted to try the barbecued ribs and chicken so we decided to order them as take out and warm them up later in the kitchen of our airbnb. We caught a glimpse of Rodney Scott when he briefly made an appearance in the dining area but we weren't able to get our phones out quick enough to get a picture. I heard afterwards that he will take a picture with you if you ask. So nice! We will have to go back one day for more of the amazing food and maybe a picture next time!
After our delicious lunch it was time to enjoy nature at Magnolia Plantation & Gardens. It is one of the oldest public gardens in America opening up in 1870 for all to appreciate. Their claim to fame is their selection by Travel & Leisure Magazine as one of "America's Most Beautiful Gardens". It cost $15.00 each to get into the gardens. If you wanted to take a ride on the Nature Train, do the House Tour, take the From Slavery to Freedom Tour or Nature Boat ride you would pay extra. We decided to walk the gardens, which included a petting zoo, and then decide if we wanted to do anything else.
It was very calming taking the leisurely walk along the garden paths which were numbered, so very helpful for navigating the gardens. We saw all kinds of animals along with flowers, trees, shrubs and even bamboo. The gardens are not formal. They are kept in a more natural state.
Midway through our walk we came upon a turtle who was digging a hole near a tree. We stood there watching him take his right foot, put it in the hole to dig out some dirt then take his left foot and dig with that one. He kept alternating between his right and left foot and the hole got to be about three inches deep. We were fascinated because we had never seen a turtle so active before. "What was he doing" we wondered? We took pictures and a video.
We left the turtle to check out a wooden tower that was two stories high. It looked out over a few acres of marshland. The tower was a little shaky so we didn't stay up there too long. Before we left the area we backtracked along the garden path to take one last look at the turtle and then we saw it. She, not he, was laying her eggs! It was so incredible! We couldn't believe how lucky we were to be witnessing such a special event! It was amazing!
Before we left Magnolia Plantation we stopped at their petting zoo. Most of the animals were roaming freely around the zoo. We fed the goats and watched the peacock trying to get the attention of the peahen. She was not interested!
We had seen a lot on our walk through the gardens so decided not to do any of the other tours. We also were getting hungry for the ribs and chicken we knew were waiting for us at the airbnb.
The ribs and chicken were what you hope to get when you are hungry for barbecue for sure. It took me awhile, (we've been living in NC for 1 1/2 years now) but I am now starting to really like the NC style BBQ sauce, and especially loved Scott's. It's totally different from the thick, sweet BBQ sauce that I was used to having in NY.
After dinner we were ready to explore the downtown Charleston area. Our airbnb was only about a 15-20 minute walk to downtown. Since we wanted to have an after dinner drink this worked out perfectly. No need to decide who the designated driver would be tonight! We wound up at The Rooftop Bar at Vendue. We enjoyed a great view of the city while we had our drinks.
After drinks we headed for the Charleston City Market. It spans 4 blocks and there are over 300 local merchants selling their wares. We saw lots of basket weavers weaving amazingly beautiful baskets. You can also find certified authentic, 100% made in Charleston items here.
From the market, we walked to the French Quarters where most of the buildings had historical markers on them in this old section of town. Among the beautiful old buildings is St. Philip's Episcopal Church. It was built in 1836. It was designated a National Historic Landmark in 1973.
Rainbow Row, a couple of blocks south of the French Quarters, is not to be missed with its colorful row houses.
Go to Charleston, SC if you ever feel like you want to travel back in time.
Charleston has all the southern charm that we would hope for when visiting the south. There was so much to see, do and eat that we couldn't do it all in two days. We hope to return someday soon!
Charming is the perfect way to describe Charleston. Thank you for hosting your party each week!
I love it, it's like going back in time. Not because of the historical architecture, but because I lived in Goosecreek for a bit. I loved Rainbow Row, it as such a sweet street to stroll down. Thanks for bringing back some great memories!
You were very fortunate to have lived in such a charming area!
One of my fav places to visit! Love that roof to bar! Been there a couple of times.Thank you for sharing on Merry Monday! Hope to see ya next week!
Yes. The bar was such a nice place to relax while enjoying an awesome view. Thank you for having me at your party!
Great pictures and recap of your time in Charleston. The Vendue is my favorite place for a drink. The view is awesome. Thanks for sharing at Brag About It. Pinning to my travel board.
Thanks for pinning and enjoy your drink at the Vendue!
Charleston is on my bucket list! Pinning for later!
Hope you get a chance to visit Charleston soon!
What a really lovely place, I'd like to eat that BBQ right now I'm starving! Thanks for linking up.
Hahaha! The BBQ was really delicious!
You were lucky to live so close to Charleston. I would love to visit Savannah one day. I heard that was a nice city also.
It's a wonderful city. Hope you have a nice time on your visit and enjoy Rodney Scotts!
I have to agree with your friends that Rodney Scott's is one of the best BBQ places around!
Charleston looks fabulous. I haven't been since the 1990's with my parents, but do remember it being absolutely charming. Thank you for coming to Fly Away Friday! See you tomorrow!
Yes. It seems like Charleston is getting popular and I definitely can see why!

Quiff vs. 'Fro: Is there any point in physical CDs anymore?
While Quiff Pro 'Fro may be something of a two-headed beast of a blog, the two of us certainly don't share the same brain. In fact, sometimes we find our views on music and the music industry irreconcilable, which is where our new feature Quiff vs. 'Fro comes in. In this edition, we ask - is there any point in physical CDs anymore?
Elliot: So Ben, I hear you're very much against the digital revolution of MP3s, iPods, Spotify and the like. What do you like so much about physical media then?
Ben: Hmm, I wouldn't say I'm against the 'digital revolution', per se - I own an iPod that I pretty much couldn't live without, and I use Spotify on a daily basis (in fact I'm using it right now). But when it comes to digital downloads, I just don't see the point.
Elliot: But what if you drop your iPod in the loo? What if Spotify shuts down? You'll have no music collection left!
Ben: I'm not against digital music, but when it comes to distribution, I see the iTunes store and other download services as a fairly fruitless effort. I'm a stickler for having the real deal, a physical copy of an album - you have something corporeal, something tangible that's the result of a band slaving away in the studio for months. I love having a booklet to flick through, even if the lyrics aren't in it - after all, an album isn't just about the music. So when it comes to buying music, why not buy a physical copy that you can then make a digital version of?
Elliot: I completely disagree. Booklets, covers, pathetic little fold-out posters and the like are all superfluous fluff designed to wring the last pennies out of fans. What really matters is the music itself. In terms of a permanent collection, MP3s are just as durable as any CD.
Ben: You're mental! The artwork, the physical aspects of a record can be a totally integral part of an album. Let's take one of your favourite albums as an example - Radiohead's Kid A, a stone cold classic no doubt about it. But can you really tell me that the minimalist, semi-pretentious doodlings don't add to the sense of menace and discomfort on that album? And if they don't add to it, surely they reflect it. Especially in the case of Radiohead, the lines between music and art are, ostentatious as it sounds, pretty blurred.
Elliot: Alright, I'll concede that Stanley Donwood's artwork is absolutely stunning and definitely complements the music itself (as well as contributing to Radiohead's overall image). That said, last year I was given a Kid A "Deluxe Edition" box set as a present which contained a second disc of live stuff and a bunch of booklets and cards and things. The extras were admittedly quite pretty, but ultimately disposable - I think I probably looked at them twice, maximum. The music on Kid A is what has captured the hearts and minds of millions, not the packaging.
The Kid A deluxe edition boxset
Ben: When it comes down to it, a great album will stand up as a great album without all the extras added in along the way, no question. But I see that a CD copy with album art and a tracklisting and lyrics to flick through just enhances the experience that the album presents. And to bring this back to the main argument - if people can have a CD copy and easily make their own digital copy, why settle for just a load of MP3 files?
Elliot: CD boxes are so fragile, though. The amount I've accidentally stepped on and broken...
Ben: You can't argue for a digital revolution in music based on your sheer ineptitude of not being album to keep an album on a shelf!
Elliot: Well, now I feel silly. But the advantages of an MP3 collection are obvious in comparison to a CD-based one - instant downloads from the comfort of your own home, for a start.
Ben: That's the beauty of Spotify - if you can't get into town for a few days, listen to an album of Spotify, then buy the album when you get the chance, stick it on your iPod when you get home. I'm not really arguing against digital music, but I don't see the point in solely downloading off iTunes. What is it that stops you from browsing through the local HMV (for lack of other, better options)?
Elliot: It's not just about convenience, it's about distribution and price. If bands don't have to produce CDs to sell their music, it frees them from record companies and record shops eating into the money they deserve. It also means albums can be given away incredibly cheaply - Arcade Fire sell The Suburbs on their website for £5, far cheaper than any record shop; Metric sold Fantasies for £1 in a special offer. Digital downloads have brought about the digital music revolution, rather than the existence of MP3s themselves.
Ben: That's a valid point about distribution affecting the earnings of a band. But in terms of the price you'll pay for an album, saying that it's often cheaper to buy it as a download isn't strictly true. Take, for example Bruce Springsteen's Darkness on the Edge of Town, an incredible, classic album (which you should all buy right now if you don't already have it) - currently the CD is available for £2.99 on Amazon, delivered straight to your front door (or next door if you're not in). The MP3 copy sells for £2.99 as well - but if you can wait a few days for delivery and own a physical copy for no extra expense, then why not? Also, deals such as HMV's surprisingly diverse '2 for £10' mean that a whole host of contemporary and classic albums can be bought on CD at a reasonable price.
Elliot: I would argue that's a bit of an exception, being such an old album.
Ben: I suppose it does depend on what music you're buying. On the whole though, I would rather pay a few quid more for the extra parts of the experience that you get from owning and listening to the physical copy of an album.
Elliot: The sheer amount of music piracy would suggest most people disagree with you - and because of this, I reckon prices will be pushed even lower. Rob Dickins, former head of Warner Music UK, has suggested that albums should be sold for £1. This sounds fantastic - you can listen to, and own, pretty much anything you want for such a small price. And though profit margins per album will decrease, the resulting increase in purchases will surely increase overall profits.
Ben: It would be interesting to see how that plays out. For many music fans, myself included, I think it's fair to say that I'm willing to pay much more than £1 for an album I like, but it would be pretty intriguing to see if the popularity of albums could be re-stoked.
Elliot: Yeah - after all, this entire argument is void when it comes to singles (which are the way most people consume their music) since you can't even buy those on CD anymore! There's no way I'd buy a Duck Sauce album, but I have to admit to possessing a copy of that infectious 'Barbara Streisand'...
On that revelation (Elliot, you really bought 'Barbara Streisand'?!), it's time to open up the debate - we could go on like this for a long time, but that would probably be very dull. So, do you prefer physical albums or digital downloads? Are you an album listener, or wired in to the latest singles chart? Feel free to throw your opinion down in the comments section, and we can carry on the debate there...
p.s. - Buy that Springsteen album. On CD, of course.

its an old debate in a new way, vinyls or cassettes, cassesetes or c.ds, now c.ds or mp3, c.ds are done for and in 30 years time will be looked at in the same novelty as viynls are now. the first real major music labels were spawned in the 50s when vinyls were sold for £30 quid (which lets not forget was alot more money back then), and now people are talking about reducing albums to £1, if that happens major labels won't bother making c.ds or phisical forms of music as it won't be profitable. so over all to end my little ramble, there will always be a certain nostalgia to owning a cd but in the long run they will be replaced and forgotten and made even more redundent than mp3s have made them
ben 8 February 2011 at 14:57
Do you not think that the reason vinyl is making a comeback could be because people aren't ready to get rid of physical sources of music yet? After all, the large sleeves and booklets of vinyls are surely part of the attraction as well as the warmth and quality of the recording, and those are effectively an exaggerated version of CD artwork. I think that as much as downloads continue, music fans won't let go of the pleasure of physically owning an album.
As for £1 downloads, it could work well, but it could also serve to decrease the value of the album as, pretentious as it sounds, a work of art. The majority of albums I buy, I am more than willing to pay at least £5 for, and I accept that I'm paying to own a body of work that a musical artist has created. Take away the physical form, and you're left with a cold, virtual MP3 file that you've not had to invest in, and as a result I feel listeners may not get as much out of it.
doorsun 8 February 2011 at 15:07
funny that its making a comeback at the same time as 'vintage and retro', just throwing that out there ;)
and fans will let go off phisical albums because kids that were born in the last 5 years will never own one except what they find in there parents attic.
i think your misunderstand the £1 album idea, theyre doing it because it seems like the only way to get downloaders to pay, hu wouldnt pay £1 for an album? 12 songs thats less than 10p a song, and i hate to say but albums values have decreased, not in musical value but in worth, recently the us billboard 100, the biggest chart in the WORLD was topped by a random indie band who sold like 80,000 copies? thats the smallest number 1 the world has ever seen, you think that would of happened 30 years ago? what bout 20? not even 10 years ago!
as for art work theres nothing stopping them from adding a digitally attached photo and booklet
the 80,000 maybe to high, i cant remember the exact number but it was in the 5 figures.... my bad guizzz
Joe 8 February 2011 at 15:21
I don't see it as one side verses the other - I'm an avid CD and vinyl collector, which has been made much easier as downloads have driven down the price of CDs. Maybe CDs will eventually disappear, but physical formats won't, even if the only people that buy them are a motley collection of music nerds and elitist DJs. Perhaps that's the way it should be? I don't really care how most people get their music, as long as they don't try to play it through laptop speakers at a house party.
ben 10 February 2011 at 17:37
I definitely think that digital formats and physical formats support one another, especially digital streaming platforms such as Spotify/We7/Grooveshark. It'd be sad to see it all go digital though - as poor a selection as the local HMV might have, it's still nice to go thumbing through the CD aisles rather than sitting at a keyboard checking out albums on iTunes. It's good that digital is driving down CD costs, after all they can't be very expensive to produce in bulk. Who knows, maybe if chart CDs were cheaper, people would go for those instead.
p.s. laptop speakers at a house party is always a bad move!
elliot 12 February 2011 at 13:04
I've always hated CD shops. Sure, you can get "two for £10" at HMV, but many old albums are still around £15, which is a ludicrous amount. And that's assuming your album of choice is even stocked! I'd rather get a recommendation from a friend and look it up on iTunes than just browse blindly.
Joe 14 February 2011 at 10:25
With specific old albums you're much better off ordering online. When I browse the CD shelves I'm looking for two things: bargains and cover art. It's exciting taking something home because you liked the cover and having no idea what it sounds like. I've found that interesting cover art is a good indicator of something worth trying.

FRIDAY, May 10 (HealthDay News) -- For people with celiac disease, an accurate diagnosis and proper diet are essential for good health, experts say.
Celiac disease is an intolerance to the protein gluten, which is found in wheat, barley and rye. When people with celiac disease eat gluten-containing foods, the lining of their small intestine is damaged and can eventually be destroyed, which prevents adequate absorption of nutrients and leads to other health problems, according to the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics.
About one of every 141 Americans has celiac disease.
"While the only treatment for celiac disease is a gluten-free diet, the good news is, once the diet is started, the road to recover begins, and people with celiac disease can lead long, healthy lives," registered dietitian and nutritionist Rachel Begun said in an academy news release.
"Managing celiac disease is not just about eliminating gluten from your diet. It also entails ensuring you get all the vitamins and nutrients your body needs, such as iron, calcium, fiber and B-vitamins like thiamin, riboflavin, niacin and folate," she explained.
Many healthy foods are naturally gluten-free, including fruits, vegetables, lean meats, poultry, fish, eggs, beans, legumes, soy, nuts, as well as the grains amaranth, buckwheat, corn, rice, teff and quinoa. Also, there are gluten-free flours made from almond meal, chickpeas and garbanzo beans, brown rice, coconut, potato, sorghum, tapioca and white rice.
An accurate diagnosis is a crucial for people with celiac disease.
"Do not diagnose yourself. If you have any symptoms, talk with your health care provider and get tested," Begun said. "It's important to keep eating a normal gluten-containing diet while being tested to ensure an accurate diagnosis. If you are diagnosed with celiac disease, a registered dietitian-nutritionist will help you understand which foods are safe to eat and ensure you are getting the important nutrients your body needs."
Celiac disease symptoms can include bloating, gas or abdominal pain, chronic diarrhea or constipation, fatigue, itchy skin rash and tingling in the hands and feet. However, some people with celiac disease do not have any of these symptoms.

"Blue/Orange" by Joe Penhall produced by L.A. Theatre Works
by Joe Penhall
starring Daniel Davis, Matt Letscher and Teagle F. Bougere
Produced by L.A. Theatre Works
Approx 2 hours.
Once again I'm magically transported to the world of live theatre through the expert production and performance of L.A. Theatre Works. L.A. Theatre Works has a huge library of performances which have been turned into audio. These plays range from the classics to modern plays and all with excellent casts. The beauty of the whole thing is that LATW takes the time to make sure the audio recording is perfect thus making the listener feel as though they are right in the middle of the audience for every performance.
This time around I listened to the modern play "Blue/Orange" by Joe Penhall. This one intrigued me after I read the synopsis from L.A. Theatre Works; "Two psychiatrists—one new and inexperienced, the other his well-established mentor—battle over the diagnosis and treatment of Chris, a young black man who claims to be the son of African dictator Idi Amin." I'm not sure what it was but it just sounded like it would be pretty thought-provoking, and it was.
A young black man is about to be discharged from psychiatric supervision in a London hospital. His man doctor wants to keep him in for further observation due to some of his responses, for example a bowl of oranges sits on the table, and when asked what color the patient replies, "Blue." Something is just not right, the patient also claims to be the son of Idi Amin, remember him from the 70s? He's the dictator that ate his enemies. The problem is that the Doctor's supervisor, sees all of the patient's responses as merely products of his culture and that not everything is to be taken literally. The supervisor also sees in this a chance for another paper to be written to further his own career. With his clinicians disagreeing on the seriousness of his condition, his release becomes complicated by issues of race, class, and the definition of sanity itself.
The play does a great job focusing on the complex issues of psychiatric treatment and throw into that the mix that the two white doctors are clueless when it comes to the black culture, it makes for a very intriguing story which goes back and forth as to who is really sane. The play does have some humorous moments which help the audience to digest some of the real hard-hitting issues covered.

Full Cast Performance Starring:

Approx. 2 hours
I have recently discovered the magic of theatrical productions from L.A. Theatre Works, and they are now among my list of top 3 audiobook producers. L.A. Theatre Works records live theatre performances and releases them as audiobooks, making a huge selection of plays, from classic to contemporary, available for consumption. The nice thing about these is that the audio production quality put into these releases not only places you in the middle of the audience but the high caliber of acting makes it so the plays will keep you intrigued and wanting for more. At least that is what has happened to me.
This time around I listened to another Arthur Miller play (previously I had listened to the Arthur Miller play "Death of a Salesman" starring Stacy Keach). Arthur Miller wrote many plays about the everyman and created plays that explored the struggles of man. L.A. Theatre works has put together a collection of his plays called "The Arthur Miller Collection" which includes 10 plays which includes this one. It also includes, "Death of a Salesman," "The Crucible," and more. I recently got my hands on this collection after listening to "Death of a Salesman" so I could explore more about this American Classic that is Arthur Miller.
What makes the productions from L.A. Theatre works so good is that through attention to detail recording and production, take a live performance and turn it into an audio medium. Listening to these performances (and this one is no exception) I felt as if I were in the middle of the audience, with applause and sound effects from the performance pushing that feeling. The one thing that totally surprised me is that I did not miss any of the visual aspect of the performances and was able to enjoy the full effect of the play(s). I can't wait to get on with the rest of this collection, with 2 down and 8 to go, I'm going to spread them out a bit, besides, they are only around two hours each so they are perfect to get in between other audiobooks and while doing all my daily functions.
"The Man Who Had All the Luck," is about a young Midwestern boy, David Beeves, who seems to have all his life handed to him, or rather lucks into whatever he gets. He's set up in a barn as a mechanic and everyone takes their cars in for repairs, yet he's never had any training and admits he doesn't know anything about fixing cars, but he seems to get the job done. When he is having a problem with a particular car a stranger out of nowhere walks in and is able to fix the car. When he can't get married to his girlfriend until her father is out of the way, the father dies in an automobile accident. When he builds a gas station, the state decides to put a highway right in front of it. When Beeves gets older he begins to wonder what is going to happen when his luck runs out, is he due for a disaster to pay back for all the luck?
This play fully explores the question whether fate or hard work decides a man's future. David's brother, Amos, is trained by his father day in and day out to be an expert baseball pitcher, but how does all that hard work pay off? Not in the way that it would for David and his "Midas Touch."
On a side-note here; Kurtwood Smith plays the part of David's father and is constantly training Amos. Kurtwood is the one who played Red Foreman in "That 70s Show," and deep down inside (because I was a fan of the character he played on that show) I wanted him to say a line from the show (I won't say the line here, but you probably know which one, if you ever watched the show). But just knowing how great of an actor he was I was happy enough just to hear his voice.
One of the 10 great plays by Arthur Miller, produced by L.A. Theatre Works and cram packed into this "Arthur Miller Collection."

Minimum Wage in Utah – weekly, monthly, annually
In Utah, the minimum wage is $7.25 an hour, which is at the same level as the federal minimum wage. During the past year, 26 states raised their minimum pay rate, but Utah did not.
The last time Utah changed its minimum wage was in 2008, when it was increased to $7.25. Because Utah doesn't have minimum wage and overtime laws, federal regulations apply.
Studies have shown that in Utah, a reasonable living wage for a single individual without children would be around $14.50 per hour, meaning that persons working at the state's minimum wage level should be working at least two jobs to meet ends meet and survive.
Well, the fact of the matter is that almost half of all Utah workers (48.6%, to be precise) have jobs that pay under $15 per hour.
Not every Utah employee receives the state's minimum as some worker categories are exempt. Tipped workers, for instance, can be paid less than Utah's minimum wage, but if they don't reach the $7.25 an hour level, employers are required to pay the difference.
So employers can pay tipped workers a cash wage of $2.13. Up to $5.12 an hour in tips can be deducted from an employee's wage as a tip credit. In Utah, workers are considered tipped employees if they earn at least $30 a month in tips. Chefs, dishwashers, and janitors cannot be regarded as tipped workers in Utah.
To minor employees under the age of 20, a training wage of just $4.25 an hour can be paid, but only for the first 90 days of their employment.
But there are more worker categories that rate exempt from Utah's minimum wage and overtime regulations. Read more below.
Utah Paycheck Calculator
This Utah Paycheck Calculator transforms your hourly pay into monthly, weekly, and yearly earnings.
In Utah, $7.25 is the minimum wage.
How to use the Utah paycheck calculator
Start with entering your hourly pay.
Then, put in how many hours you work per week.
Now, the paycheck calculator shows you how much your hourly pay would be in annual, weekly, and monthly earnings.
How does the Utah paycheck calculator work?
If an employee gets paid per hour, it may be quite difficult to see how much that hourly pay would be in periodical earnings, like per month, week, or year.
For employees that get paid per week or per month, it's different. They'll get their paychecks at the end of a working period. So to let hourly workers easily see how their hourly wage translates to earnings per month, week, or year, we developed this paycheck calculator.
Here is how it works: just enter your hourly pay and the number of hours you work a week. Now, our paycheck calculator immediately shows you what your hourly pay is in annual, monthly, and weekly earnings.
Annual wage = hourly earnings times
Monthly wage = annual earnings divided by 12 months
Weekly wage = hourly earnings times 40 hours
These results are generated by multiplying your base hourly pay by the number of hours, weeks, or months you work annually, assuming you work 40 hours per week.
Minimum Wage in Utah
So Utah's minimum hourly wage is $7.25, which translates to $58.00 daily, $290.00 weekly (at 40 work hours), $1256.67 monthly, and $15,080.00 annually.
As said before, not all Utah employees will get the state's minimum wage. Some categories, such as farm workers, seasonal workers, students, nonprofit workers, and tipped employees may be exempt from Utah's minimum wage and/or overtime regulations.
In Utah, certain employees with disabilities may be paid under the minimum wage if the employer holds a certificate confirming he can do so.
Learners, student workers, and apprentices may also be paid less than the minimum rate, but trainees must at all times make at least the state's minimum wage rate.
Full-time students that participate in a university's learn-work project may receive 85 percent ($6.16) of Utah's minimum hourly wage. The job, however, must be part-time and for a maximum of 20 hours per week.
Utah minimum wage exemptions
In Utah, a few worker categories don't need to be paid the official minimum wage rate and/or overtime pay. The following is not a full overview, but it lists common categories:
Elected officials, administrators, professionals, executives, outside salespersons, and people in public office may be exempt.
Nonprofit, charitable, religious, and educational organizations can send an application to Utah's Department of Labor for exempt status.
Several occupations, such as farm and seasonal workers, newspaper deliverers, and some informal domestic workers, such as babysitters and housekeepers, are exempt from Utah's minimum pay regulations.
Tipped workers may be exempt, but in case a worker's hourly earnings (including tips) are not reaching $7.25 an hour, the employer must pay the difference.
Youth under the age of 20 can be paid $4.25 per hour as a sort of training wage for the first 90 days.
Full-time students partaking in a university work-learn project may receive 85% ($6.16) of Utah's minimum wage. The job must be part-time for up to 20 hours a week.
Employees with disabilities can also be paid less than the state's minimum wage rate, but the employer must be certified to do so.
All Utah employers must clearly display a state-designated informative poster with the state's minimum pay and overtime details in highly visible locations so their employees can be informed about Utah and federal minimum pay and overtime regulations and all relevant labor rights.
Utah overtime wage
Under FLSA (Fair Labor Standards Act) requirements, Utah employees must receive 1.5 times their regular hourly pay if they work more than 40 hours a week. So they will get at least $10.88 an hour for qualifying overtime, but some worker categories are exempt. The following list is not a full overview; it lists the main categories.
Individuals employed at charitable, educational, religious, or nonprofit organizations may be exempt from Utah's overtime and minimum wage regulations.
Some agricultural and seasonal workers and outside salespersons are exempt as well.
Executives, administrators, and professionals are also exempt from Utah's overtime regulations.
Please note that this post doesn't contain legal advice. If you have any questions about Utah's minimum wage policies or minimum wage compliance, consult a tax professional or a tax attorney.

Torpy at Large: Et tu, Kasim? Then rise, Ceasar!
Reed's hostility may help mayoral candidate Mitchell
Eight years ago, civil rights icon and former Atlanta Mayor Andrew Young asked then-City Councilman Ceasar Mitchell not to run for mayor.
"I told him I'd support him next time," Young told me this week. "Ceasar was generous and wise enough not to compete."
Young, who carries the most prestigious endorsement in Atlanta's black community, had known Ceasar and his parents for years but 20 years earlier had promised support to a college student named Kasim Reed.
Ceasar, sensing he wasn't going to make it in 2009, dutifully swallowed his pride, lowered his expectations and successfully ran to become Atlanta's second banana — City Council president.
So now it's Ceasar's time. But that Kasim fellow is still having none of it.
Last week, as a crop of ambitious Atlantans qualified to run to replace him, Mayor Kasim Reed was holding court on V-103.
"I beat them all, let's be real clear. Nobody who's running for mayor could beat me," Reed crowed. "I beat Mary Norwood who's No. 1 (in polls this year). That was light work."
Well, not exactly that light. Reed had to call in all the forces of Atlanta's black community to stave off the indomitable Norwood from becoming the city's first white mayor in 36 years. Young, then-Mayor Shirley Franklin and her son Cabral, a bright campaign strategist, pushed hard for Kasim, as did a reverend/vote-getter named Mitzi Bickers, who later became a player in the ongoing scandal at City Hall.
Reed won by barely 700 votes out of nearly 84,000 cast. It was a big push from the city's black middle class on the southwest side that carried the runoff election for him.
Reed hadn't always been the favorite. In fact, at the start of the campaign in August 2009, there were forces in the black community calling for Reed, who was polling in single digits, to step out of the way and let a "viable" African-American candidate like then-City Council President Lisa Borders face front-runner Norwood.
To his credit, the stubborn Reed plowed on to become the polished, yet eminently touchy, chief executive who loves to go on radio and toot his own horn. To the victors go the airwaves.
Last week, after qualifying to run for office, Candidate Ceasar (who spells his name funny) announced that because of the long-running federal investigation into bribery in the city of Atlanta, the city should hold off on long-term contracts until the new City Council comes in next year. By then, Ceasar, in his mind, would be mayor.
Never gonna happen, said the Current Mayor, who has four months remaining in Hizzonerdom. Reed is not going to stop contracts, nor, he insists, will Ceasar ever be mayor.
Reed, who likes to brag about the size of his Twitter following, used that platform like a billy club to smack Ceasar about the head and torso. The Mayor also issued a letter on official city stationary.
It was like a stream of mayoral consciousness — Ceasar's moratorium on contracts was "a publicity stunt to buoy his fading mayoral hopes and help him raise money for his campaign." His campaign is "a setup. … They are going to prop him up so that he can get into a runoff with Mary Norwood. Then they will bury him on this." (Whoever they is.)
Later, in a press conference, Reed hit on Mitchell's ethics woes, noting that he was fined more than $8,000 mostly for not disclosing between $46,000 and $93,000 in campaign expenditures."
The Mayor, in a tweet, urged the public to "support one of the other candidates that can win."
Oh, by the way, the Mayor has a candidate for you — Councilwoman Keisha Lance-Bottoms, whom he put in charge of the Recreation Authority a couple of years ago at a salary of $135,000 a year. That was on top of her $60,000 council salary. He also helped with a fund-raiser for her.
A recent WSB-TV / Landmark Communications poll put Bottoms in second place with 12 percent, tied with Peter Aman, a political newcomer and Reed's former top aide. Norwood is first in the poll and Ceasar, who has probably raised more than $2 million, is in third (or fourth) place.
On Wednesday, Reed tweeted, "After a tough week, Caesar (sp) Mitchell falls to 4th place. See what Cornell Belcher, Barack Obama's former pollster has to say about it here."
Belcher was not only Obama's pollster, he was Reed's. And now Bottoms is paying Belcher tens of thousands of dollars to be her strategist. The Belcher memo that Reed released talked about how well Bottoms will connect with women. Black women are still by far the biggest demographic voting block in Atlanta.
Reed's assault on Ceasar Mitchell's campaign so early in the game has a purpose. Recently, Andy Young and fellow civil rights icons C.T. Vivian and Joseph Lowery publicly endorsed Ceasar, giving him the club blessing. So Reed had to lash out to allow his preferred candidate — Bottoms — to connect with voters, especially those in southwest Atlanta.
There is no Maynard Jackson political machine anymore, but the remains of it can certainly help an African-American candidate in a runoff with Mary Norwood.
It sure helped Kasim eight years ago.
But Ceasar Mitchell has a problem. He has campaigned four times before in citywide elections, yet is running behind Aman, a prosperous white guy who nobody knew three months ago, who is funding his campaign with gobs of his own money.
Mitchell has been a likable presence on the political circuit and has southwest Atlanta roots. But he hasn't set the world afire.
Perhaps The Mayor's assault has helped Candidate Ceasar, who called a press conference to call Hizzoner's comments "unfortunate, petty and immature."
He said Reed is trying to "divert and deflect attention away from the fact that he is the mayor during a time of what could be one of the most explosive corruption investigations in the city, in the history of this city."
Ceasar said THAT on TELEVISION. Yeah, the man in fourth place. He needs to hold another press conference to thank his buddy Kasim.

All Saints Middle School
As we become aware of buildings changing usage, SEA has made a point of photographing the features within the property before they are lost. One of the earliest buildings to undergo this scrutiny was All Saints Voluntary Controlled Church of England Middle School. Unfortunately as photographs were taken of the building in Acton Lane it dawned on us that similar photographs had not been taken 26 years earlier when the school moved from the Mill Lane school building and Christopher Lane building, the former was demolished and the later one was transformed into a home for the elderly.
Fortunately in 1987 the art teacher at the time organised pupils to record the building using various art media. These paintings, prints, pencil drawings and paintings remain in the Sudbury Ephemera Archive. They show the interior of the gymnasium, features of the architecture and views from the playground at Mill Lane. No doubt many more pieces of art were produced and have been lost over the decades but these remaining pieces provide a remarkable image of these buildings.
After six years the Middle School collection has been catalogued and safely listed. It contains photographs from school trips and events, curriculum information, photographs of productions and much more. Perhaps in forty years time when somebody has a bright idea that the three-tier education is worthwhile, somebody will come to the archive to examine the advantages of it.

As it enters its second year of publication, Warwick Ball reflects on the emerging themes and (accidental) article pairings in both the October 2018 and April 2019 issue of Afghanistan, the new journal of the American Institute of Afghanistan Studies. What is clear is the strength of international interest in the cultural diversity of the region.
As a journal we do not adhere to particular themes (although we are considering occasional special thematic issues in the future), but attempt as broad a coverage of the humanities as possible. Nevertheless, a theme in this issue has emerged by accident if not by design: the threats to cultural heritage in Afghanistan.
Abdul Wasay Najimi writes of the damage – even complete destruction – inflicted on some of the Herat monuments from the fighting there. Two articles – by Deborah Klimburg-Salter and Judith A. Lerner – discuss the vast Buddhist (and earlier) site of Mes Aynak, which has received international attention due to the threats posed by copper mining there, as well as by looting. Even the article on the comparatively un-threatened petroglyphs in Wakhan by John Mock is hesitant in providing exact locations because of the potential threat of looting. A not surprising theme, perhaps, given Afghanistan's recent history. A refreshing break from that history is provided by our Managing Editor, Shivan Mahendrarajah's, article on a little understood Islamic institution in medieval and pre-modern Khurasan.
Just as we do not set out to have themes to an issue, there is no policy on pairing articles. Nevertheless, just as last issue had a 'pairing' of two articles on Mes Aynak, this issue has a 'pairing' also by accident rather than design of two articles on surveys in the Helmand-Sistan region: the one undertaken over forty years ago, the other just a few years ago. Although the field-work carried out by Mitchell Allen and William B. Trousdale is old, the results are startlingly new, with suggestions of a previously unidentified Iron Age culture in Afghan Sistan. The new field-work by Marc Abramiuk carried out in 2011 in Helmand was, at the time, possibly the most dangerous place in the world for archaeological field-work, and having to clear mines, dodge snipers and have an armoured US Marine guard are conditions that even I, having worked in war zones from Afghanistan to Iraq, have never experienced.
Another unintentioned 'pairing' is two articles on documents, both in national collections, although there the resemblance stops: the one concerning documents from the 5th -7th centuries, the other from the late 19th century. Ofir Haim's article is the first publication in English (as far as I am aware) of recently discovered Jewish documents, probably from the Bamiyan area. Ula Zeir's article concerns correspondence between Amir Abdur Rahman Khan and Lord Curzon: not so much the context itself, but the extraordinary 'art' and complexity that went into the presentation of royal correspondence. As if to underline the complexity and richness of the region's cultural heritage, Waleed Ziad writes of a little known 7th-9th century coinage that combined both Hindu and Muslim elements.
And there seems to be an entirely unintentioned theme to this issue as well: ceramic studies (with apologies to non-archaeologists). In addition to the two Helmand-Sistan surveys above, Noor Agha Noori, Luca M. Olivieri and Elisa Iori discussf a little known ceramic style of the Afghan/South Asian borderlands that adds new information on Mes Aynak (again: a measure at least of the importance of this site), and Gabriele Puschnigg and Jean-Baptise Houal use ceramic studies to differentiate different cultural regions in Hellenistic Central Asia.
Authors from Afghanistan, France, Germany, Israel, Italy, Pakistan, Syria and the United States again highlight the international nature of the journal – and the interest in Afghanistan.


Waterfalls have always been an inspiring sight and these 12 tallest and largest waterfalls in the world are among the most inspiring of them all.
Waterfalls have always been impressive to humans. Similar to the 15 largest bodies of water in the world, people have gathered on their shores and considered them spiritual places. Waterfalls have a special place in many local legends and myths. When David Livingston first laid eyes on Mosi-oa-Tunya (Smoke that Thunders in Tonga language) in 1855, he was in awe. He was so impressed with the sight that he named it Victoria Falls. Unfortunately for Queen Victoria, Zimbabwe government isn't quite taken with the name and has started an initiative to rename the waterfall. Whatever you call it, this waterfall didn't make it to our list, despite being among the largest waterfall in the world in terms of water flow, at its highest point it is only 355 feet (108 metres) high. Another awe-inspiring waterfall that lacks the height to be included on our list is Niagara Falls. With six million cubic feet (168,000 m3) of water roaring over its edge every minute, it is more than twice the size of Victoria Falls. It is also about twice as low, with 167 feet (51 metres) of maximum height.
Some of the largest waterfalls aren't visible anymore. They have been submerged when the rivers they are on were dammed. Guaíra Falls were last seen in 1982 when the lake created by Itaipu Dam was formed. Celilo Falls on Columbia River shared the same faith in 1957 when Dalles Dam was finished. Along with the waterfall, Celil Village, the oldest continuously inhabited community in North America vanished, ending 15,000 years of people living on the spot.
These 12 tallest and largest waterfalls in the world are probably safe from being submerged. Their height, measured in thousands of feet, make it impossible to build a dam and harness their power. That way at least some of them will survive so that future generations may be impressed with them as much as we are.

Wasn't that rain great? Right. It was terrible — traffic on top of traffic on top of flooded walkways. But the sun is back and it's supposed to a nice, warmer weekend, so take in some art, live music and home improvement projects with our top event picks.
Tibetan Buddhist monks have descended upon Austin from the Drepung Loseling Monastery for an elaborate installation at the Blanton Museum of Art. The monks will be on site early Friday morning to kick things off for the exhibit, which runs through Sunday. (The image of monks kicking anything off, though, is hilarious imagery, especially consider that they'll be doing this.) Sand mandalas are intricately designed, usually circular patterns that bare important religious meaning. The monks will be constructing one by hand-laying millions of grains of sand.
The music school for kids is putting on a two-night show at Red 7 Saturday and Sunday night featuring the classics from the British Invasion's leading troupe. Reward these kids for their bravery. I would try to string together an elaborate, tongue-in-cheek description of the show using only Beatles lyrics, but I'll just let it be (Ha! I couldn't resist.).
All you aspiring Kristin Wiigs and Bill Haders have an opportunity for some serious hobnobbing: The comedy school headed by Shana Merlin is moving classes to the ZACH Theatre and their new building near West Riverside Drive. To celebrate, they're throwing a party and putting on a show Sunday night. There will be top-notch comedy, food and drinks.
There's a legend in town. One of the most influential blues musicians and killer guitarists, B.B. King, will be performing live at the Paramount Theatre Sunday night. After a weekend of monks and art, laughing, and starting the sketches of your dream home, wind down with the Grammy winner, whose music aches and feels with powerful, lived-in gravitas.


I chose Pig-Pen; I love how he's always surrounded by a cloud of dust.
I picked Lucy. I also like Linus & Snoopy.
Woodstock. He doesn't say much, but he has a large presence for such a small bird.
They should've gave him a voice.
Linus. Because penguins and stuff.
But I actually like and enjoy all the characters.
Was she supposed to be a lesbian? So why was she always hanging around that other girl?
I doubt Charles Schulz had intended for her to be a lesbian. They are kids, that's all. Marcy was her friend that's why they hung around together.
I said difficult to choose because Charlie Brown, Linus, Snoopy, & Woodstock are my favs. I like others, too but those four are my fav.
and why was Marcy calling her "Sir"?
Because, as Patty always says, Marcy is weird.
And, really Howard, the 'sir' thing has nothing to do with sexuality. I know a few lesbians and none of them are called 'sir'.
She's actually flirted with Charlie Brown before, although I'm not completely sure whether or not she has a crush on him(she could have been doing that just to see his reaction).
As for the "sir" thing, like the others said, it's not a lesbian thing.
While Peppermint Patty is a tomboyish girl, Marcy referring to her as "sir" is probably just an old hard to break habit.
It's taken from this commercial, Howard.
When I bite into a York Peppermint Patty..I get the sensation of..
A parody, Howard, pure parody. Well, a commercial too, like warped said.
This also reminds me of how some people believe Rainbow Dash is a lesbian.
Gonna have to go with good ol' Snoop.
By the way, there happens to be a 3D Peanuts movie in the works.

"At training you see little glimpses of what we can do"
Tue 26 Mar 2019, 12:57 PM
Danny Levi, Connor Watson, Mitchell Pearce and Kalyn Ponga.
The all-important spine driving the Newcastle Knights.
It's a relatively new combination… but excitement is building about what they can produce this season.
Injury Report: Update on Saifiti's and Lino
In the no. 9, Levi has backed the all-important combo.
He's confident as the season progresses, so too will they.
"We've still got a long way to go but when you see us at training, you see little glimpses of what we can do," added Levi.
Never lost against a former team
"It's definitely working so we've just got to stick to it and make sure we keep bringing more and more of it."
While questions have surrounded whether the switch by Kalyn Ponga to five-eighth is working, Levi has no doubt.
Ponga, all heart.
The 23-year-old has plenty of faith in his team mate and the quality football he can produce.
"Kalyn… he's a freak, he can do whatever he wants," laughed Levi.
"Our boys have got massive confidence in Kalyn and what he can do."
Johns: This pass is quite unbelievable
The more opportunities they provide, the better Ponga can play.
"I think we can help him out by giving him the space," Levi maintained.
"It's a team effort but he's definitely a threat that we need to expose.
The 18th Man: Behind the Scenes Rd2
"I think we can get more out of him if we help him out, but that's just going to take some time and we're working at it."
But one thing for sure, when Ponga wants the ball…. Levi won't hesitate.
"I just try and listen out for him and when he wants the ball, I'll give it to him," he smiled.

Encyclopedia > Non Profit
A non-profit organization (often called "non-profit org" or simply "non-profit" or "not-for-profit") can be seen as an organization that doesn't have a goal to make a profit. It may be entirely funded by voluntary donations.
4 Laws
6 Laws on non-profit organizations
7 Examples of non-profit organizations
It may be a formal incorporated not-for-profit corporation that does not have shareholders, though it may have members and issue membership certificates or require member loans. It may also be a trust or association of members. The organization may be controlled by its members who elect the Board of Directors or Board of Trustees. Not-for-profit organizations may have a delegate structure to allow for the representation of groups or corporations as members. It may be a non-membership organization and the board of directors may elect its own successors.
It may have a tax exempt status or it may be a de-facto group of individuals operating for a common purpose. For example, it may comprise a voluntary group of individuals who are dedicated to developing an open content online encyclopedia, that allows any member of the public who has access to an internet connection and a world wide web browser to make a contribution of knowledge, information, editing, formatting, or programming skills.
Such "organizations" are often charities or service organizations; they may be organized as a not-for-profit corporation or as a trust, a cooperative or they may be purely informal. Sometimes they are also called foundations, or endowments that have large equity funds. Most foundations give out grants to other not-for-profit organizations, or fellowships to individuals. However, the name foundation may be used by any not-for-profit corporation -- even volunteer organizations or grass roots groups. A non-profit organization may be a very loosely organized group such as a block association, or a trade union, or it may be a complex structure such as a university, hospital, documentary film production company or educational book publisher.
Most jurisdictions have laws governing the setting up, running, and reporting requirements of these organizations. In many aspects they are similar to business entities though there are often significant differences. Both non-profit and for-profit entities must have board members, steering committee members, or trustees who owe the organization a fiduciary duty of loyalty and trust.
The largest non-profit organization is the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, which has an endowment of approximately $27 billion. The second-largest is the Howard Hughes Medical Institute, which has an endowment of approximately $11 billion.

Non-profit organization - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (2189 words)
Most experts consider that it is the legal and ethical restrictions on the distribution of profits to owners or shareholders which fundamentally distinguishes nonprofits from commercial enterprises.
Nonprofits generally do not operate to generate profit, a characteristic widely considered to be the defining characteristic of such organizations.
A primary difference between a nonprofit and a for-profit corporation is that a nonprofit does not issue stock or pay dividends, (for example, The Code of the Commonwealth of Virginia includes the Non-Stock Corporation Act that is used to incorporate nonprofit entities) and may not enrich its directors.
United States of America non-profit laws - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (899 words)
Non-profit organizations in the United States are, like for-profit corporations, mostly organized and operated under the law of a state, rather than the federal government.
Directors and officers of non-profits owe a fiduciary duty to the non-profit and its beneficiaries similar to the duties owed by directors and officers of for-profit corporations.
In a non-profit corporation, the "agency problem" is even more difficult than in the for-profit sector, because the management of a non-profit is not even theoretically subject to removal by the charitable beneficiaries.


Hello September! In a blink of an eye the summer holidays are drawing to an end! And what does that mean? It's a new season of style, Vogue has their biggest print of the year and Fashion Week is about to begin. Pinch punch first of the month – I love this time of year, a new season gives me life due the transition into what feels like a new chapter. I've always enjoyed September, from getting a new school uniform, shoes and a pencil case filled with the latest pens (as you can see my stationery obsession started when I was young!). Fast forward thirty years and the same ritual commences! I've just done a major wardrobe declutter and I'm getting ready both mentally and physically for a busy month ahead.
This month I will be away for the majority of the time, but don't worry, I will still be blogging and posting daily on Instagram! Next week I will be co-presenting at the Boots Electrical Conference (hence why I've been quiet on Insta Stories – I've had a mammoth script to learn!). Then I'll be in London for Fashion Week, again I'm an accredited Influencer/Blogger for the British Fashion Council but this season I will be representing me, myself and I. I'll be working on my photography skills and I can't wait to share all my daily outfits too! Will you be at LFW? If so, let me know as I love making the most of my week in London. FYI, should you be looking for any tips on how to prep for fashion week you can read all about my top tips here. And finally at the end of the month I'll be in Venice. This has been on my travel to-do list for years and I'm so excited that I've finally got round to booking this trip.
Oh and I almost forgot to mention, my 25% off Olympus PEN E-PL8 & 45mm, 30mm Macro, 17mm F1.8, 25mm F1.8 & 75-300mm Lenses code has been extended till the end of September!! Just use code RHIANNONVIP at the Olympus webshop. Wahoo!
What are your plans for September? Do you love this season as much as I do??

From Scholarship Student to Scholarship Supporter
by Bruce Lyndes
Brown as a student at UNH. Photo courtesy of Charles Brown.
As a student at UNH years ago, Charles Brown wasn't sure if he'd be able to finish his senior year. His grades weren't the problem; financing his last year of college was.
"In 1958, I started as a student in Durham," Brown, a longtime professor of computer science at PSU, recalled. "The expenses for the first year were $1,104. This was everything: toothpaste, books, tuition, room, rent, and food. Back then, you could earn enough money in the summer to pay for half a year of college. By working summers, I figured I could get through three years, but senior year was questionable."
Brown was able to graduate thanks to the kindness of strangers. "I received two scholarships from people I never even met, Frank S. Lord and Mary R. Martin," said Brown. "That paid for my last year at UNH and I earned a degree."
Brown earned his undergraduate and graduate degrees in chemical engineering and joined the PSU faculty in 1970. Mostly self-taught, the venerable computer science instructor went on to help create the school's first computer science department in 1982 with William Taffe and Richard Brook.
Now, Brown is helping to provide deserving seniors with scholarships. In 2001, he created a scholarship for computer science majors, then followed it up in 2003 with a scholarship endowment for information technology students, which he created in memory of his wife, Elaine. True to his private and low-key nature, Brown created the endowments anonymously, preferring to stay out of the limelight. But PSU's Institutional Advancement Office was able to convince him recently that his generosity should be publicized, not only to acknowledge his support of scholarship at PSU, but to inspire others to do the same.
"Somebody helped me, and it's my turn to help someone else," said Brown. "There is no way to pay back the people who helped me, but I can help future generations."
For over three decades, Brown has helped prepare his students for the excitement and challenges of a career in computer science. Supporting scholarship at PSU allows him to help students in a different, yet very meaningful way. "Throughout the year, he visits our office, bringing additions to the endowment like a gardener tending to his vegetable patch," said Angela Matthews, PSU's director of development. "He's always smiling with joy in doing something to help students."
"Dr. Brown is a private and humble man," added Jo-Ann M. Guilmett, Lamson Learning Commons and ITS helpdesk manager. "His quiet generosity to the school has been in evidence during his long tenure at the institution: in the classroom, in the computer labs, at the Learning Commons, and now with these generous gifts, Dr. Brown has shown that he is a dear friend of Plymouth State University."
"This is a gift that goes on beyond one's lifetime," said Brown. "It's a case of turning around and trying to do some good; people helped me when I needed it, now it's my turn."
