Pet Amber Alerts
05/21/2012
I walked into my neighborhood sandwich shop and there was a lost dog alert posted on the bulletin board. It was not a handmade sign, but rather a formatted print out with the dog’s photo, microchip number, description and contact info on it. It was a Pet Amber Alert that had been faxed to all [...]

A few different health and wellness products for dogs and cats are frequently mentioned here. Just like some human shampoos are not available worldwide, or have different package styles of formulations from country to country, pet medicines sometimes are available under different names or not at all. The one product that seems to be quite [...]
Emergency Kit Necessity: A Watch?
05/21/2012
Though I am glued to my cell phone, it is not really possible to take a good pulse for a person or pet in an emergency using my cell phone timer. Nothing beats a sweeping second hand.
More and more, I am going back to wearing a watch. After my cell phone conked out and my [...]
Postcards No More
05/21/2012
At the age of 12, I proudly showed off my American Quarter Horse Association anatomy chart and coloring book that I received for free. My savvy little self wrote a nice postcard to the folks at AQHA asking for some. Too old for coloring books? On the contrary, the book was educational and provided many [...]

“Aurora Borealis, the colored lights seen in the skies around the North Pole, the Northern Lights, from Bear Lake, Alaska, a beautiful Christmas scene of the winter star filled skies.” Holidays and travel go hand in hand. The norm used to be folks visiting grandma’s house, but times have changed with many foregoing the standard Christmas [...]
86,255 Reasons to Tour America %97 Part 2 . . . a Revelation!
05/21/2012
Over the past week or so I experienced a revelation! It all began as I researched America’s historic places for this blog. I happened upon a website titled America’s 11 most endangered historic places; little did I know that this list has existed since 1988. I was astonished at learning of some places shown as endangered. I’m familiar with the [...]

05/21/2012
I’ve been fortunate, having seen the beauty of the Eiffel Tower, the Notre Dame Cathedrals in Paris and Montreal, shuddered as I stood where the Berlin Wall was, now no more than a crumble of cement, was intrigued by the Tea House of the August Moon in the Orient and marvelled at the aqua colored ocean in the Caribbean.

Things that make you go “OOH and AAH”
05/21/2012
I just love surfing the net; you never know what you’ll discover or what great little tid bit you’ll pick up. It’s amazing at what you’ll see and learn. This is one of the reasons I especially enjoy reading travel articles. For instance, who would have thought reading about ‘toilets’ . . aka the loo, the john [...]
Getting There is Half the Fun . . .
05/21/2012
If William Shakespeare had ridden in a tour bus, would he have said, “A tour bus by any other name is still great transportation for touring?” Had Shakespeare been Spanish, he might have said, recorrido en autobus, or as a Parisian he might have uttered bus de tournée, and as a Vietnamese he might have [...]
A town of 1!
05/21/2012
“One is the Loneliest Number You’ll Ever Do . . .” although first written and recorded by Harry Nilsson, it was recorded a number of times by different artists, including the LA band, Three Dog Night, in 1969. I heard this song the other day and it spurred my interest in the number one (1), so a new [...]
Not Just an Empty Nester . . .
05/21/2012
We’re not just talking about a popular term ‘Empty Nest’ . . . which is something many seniors can relate to. Nope: we’re going to explore nests in general and end up at Eagles Nest, high in the Bavarian Alps. Wikipedia defines Empty Nest syndrome as “a general feeling of loneliness that parents or guardians [...]
86,255 Reasons to Tour America . . . Part 4 %97 Why Not January?
05/21/2012
One would normally not see the month of January as the optimal time to tour Washington, DC. After all, things can look pretty dismal; what with the trees lackluster and lifeless sans their leaves. Many areas opt for fescue grasses which normally brown and go dormant during the winter months, hence a brown landscape versus [...]
Finally, a structure that works for the industry
05/21/2012
After 2 years of setting things up. Lantawood has finally adopted a structure that works for the upfiftment of the industry.
1. We have put in place the Lantawood Certification as a standardize system of offering film industry opportunities to people in communities we serve. This is now a requirement in order to participate in paid industry opportunities as a Writer, Crew Worker, Actor, Producer, Director or Support Worker.
2. We decided that interested partners must complete their Certification steps 1 through 4, within 14 day of initial sign up. Any applicant who can not complete this within the give time frame will be dropped from our organization. This is to eliminate stagnation or inactivity within our organization.
3. We are requiring an upfront payment of the the $100 Certification Fee (non refundable). This will eliminate people who do not have the level of seriousness required by our organization and our mission.
4. For those who have the interest but have no funds, we have provided a way for you to raise the funds needed to set you in motion of beginning your career.
5. We have provides 3 uniformed training and orientation programs for all people getting involved with the industry. :
6. We have decided that talents are now required to be certified within 90 days to continue with our organization.
Next month, Lantawood will be opening up our 500 distribution outlets to jump-start the industry.
Production class was quite an interesting one. After discussing with the class about our system of not writing out the dialogue in a script. A young man of about 23 yrs. old said, "I don't believe Lantawood is for me, I have not bought a film at a gas station before and I believe every thing is going online" By the way, this young man graduated with a film degree from Howard University. Do you see what his formal education has done to his thinking? Not that I do not support formal education but one has to take it in with a grain of salt.
I wish his school would have developed his basic marketing knowledge and a stronger belief in him self, and the power of community.
Namso Responded:
No I didn't go to a public school. I went to a little village school in Africa. Were we the students had to mow the lawns, maintain the buildings and cook our meals in the cafeteria. And if you as a 10th or lower grader stepped out of line in any way, you would be punished (flogged) by a select team of 11th graders called "Prefects". These Prefects actually run the schools. The 12 graders where too "senior" to get involved in the mess. As a 10th grader, you could not dare talk back at an 11th grader, so imagine the perceived status of the teachers and the principal. The 12 graders never went to the cafeteria because "picking up their meals" was the responsibility of their school children (7th graders assigned to 12 graders for mentorship, and to teach them humility and respect). Even if you where a not so good parent at home, the society had a system in motion that created a harmonious community, based on respect and results, not sentiments.
But things are different now. When movies like Boyz in the Hood, Menace 2 Society and New Jack City arrived Africa, it shattered the fabric of the culture. Then the gang idea began developing. The society fought back, disbarring such activities with ruthless effort. But the stories were different in the Universities. Because the University system was meant to westernize us, we took pride in our Fraternities. I was a member of one. By my Sophomore year, the fraternity I belonged to had morphed into a Confraternity. 2 years later, they were called “cults” and I had lost 3 friends in Gang related activities so I knew it was time to quit. So I quit.
Today these University cults have matured to New Jack City styled gangsters, killing and robbing folks. This was totally not African. Film and Television brought an abandonment of the culture for western values. Years ago, it was a taboo for an African man to move in to a woman’s house, if he didn’t have a house, he would have to go build one first, then come for the woman. Now they have become shameless, adopting the 50/50 strategy, which allows the men to slack in their responsibility. Today’s solutions:
1. Educate our people to first, understand their heritage and values, then acquire the needed power to change the laws to suit our values and heritage.
2. Abolish all the anti progress laws like, no beer sales Sunday, number of wives a man can marry, gay marriage, whipping of naughty kids at home and in school, immigration
3. Allow children to naturally belong to their father and be from where their father is from, hopefully this will bring fathers back into the picture.
4. Abolish mandated child support payments, if he doesn’t’ t want the child, that’s his business with DFACS, the kid is his period.
5. Introduce bride prices for our women, this would increase the value we have for marriage and our women. It would also bring out the truth in that very confused phrase …”I love you”
6. Make parents responsible for the actions of their children, of whatever age. Your child is your child, for ever.
7. Ensure that the images we and the world see of us brings positive growth to us as a people.
8. Though these images, we can encourage a culture where age and wisdom become the standard for respect, not money
Derrick, to sum it all I say:
Any school can produce great thinkers, what they think about is what affects our lives and our way of living.
The question is "which puzzle are we solving"?
Isn't it time we helped solve the puzzle that brings us the most gain?
Isn't it time we helped build the "real" movie industry of the South?
You didn't get into Sundance and no one wants your movie. How can you turn this around? Everyone is talking about Internet and Digital Downloading options, but Morgan Spurlock said you might only get your phone bill paid this route. What is the truth here?You want to make movies but you also want to live in here Atlanta. How do you attain this? “These are among the issues that will be resolved at the conference,” said Namso Akpan. “Investing in our local movie industry will offer writers the opportunity to turn their books into movies and also open up advertising and placement opportunities for local businesses. We are also introducing artiste to the opportunities in releasing their music as movie sound tracks.’
There is much talk among independent Producers and Directors that obtaining viable film distribution these days is nearly impossible. According to Producer and Distribution expert Jerome Courshon, the major problem is not the perceived lack of options for Filmmakers, but their lack of knowledge and insider information to achieve results. According to Namso, “one of the benefits of developing our own industry is the ability to provide movie distribution to local producers and real job opportunities to the community.”
The conference will be held from 7 pm till 10 pm, at Throwbacks Sports Bar, 4847 Old National Hwy College Park, Georgia 30337. In a statement by the event host Jenee Woodley, who also serves as the Community Affairs Coordinator for Lantawood Incorporated, “at the conference, producers will pitch movie ideas to sponsors, actors will be cast in movies, movie distribution deals will be sealed among other things” said Jenee. “Attend this conference to learn the fast changing trend within the Atlanta movie industry and also get assistance on your movie project.”
