LAKE MARY -- City commissioners voted unanimously Thursday night to set up the city's first ever dog park.
The park would be located in the south section of Liberty Park, and dogs would be able to run off-leash.
Money Magazine ranks Lake Mary as the fourth best small city to live in. Residents believe a dog park could lift it to first.
"This is absolutely pristine because you can walk your dog to the park,” said Pat Blake, a dog owner. “Not only are u getting exercise, but your dog is going to get exercise."
"It's one of those things we can point to, and realtors can point to, as one of the enhancements of why Lake Mary, why should you move to Lake Mary,”
said Darrel Jarvis from Trailblazers. “We have those facilities. Including in that, ‘Oh by the way, do you have a dog? We have an off-leash dog park you can use.’"
A charitable organization known as the Trailblazers is spearheading the effort to raise money to open the park.
The dog park is expected to cost around $70,000.
There is no word yet on when the park will open.

Adult/High School–This is a rich collection of essays not only by those who have been diagnosed with conditions along the autism spectrum, but also by their parents, siblings, teachers, caregivers, and doctors as well. In “An Aspie’s Guide to Everyone Else,” a teen who has Asperger’s syndrome attempts to explain the differences between him and those he calls “neurotypicals” or “NTs.” Another boy opens “The Price of Talk” with these words: “My name is Michael. I am 14, and I have autism. Some say that I am nonverbal, but I can communicate…. Not being able to talk is very frustrating. My mind knows what I want to say but my lips, tongue, and breath can’t make it happen.” In “My Special Brothers,” a 13-year-old girl writes, “I think it is the coolest thing to have brothers with autism. Anyone can learn a lot from them; I have.” In “The Reward,” a parent with autistic twins says, “…I learned that until you are confronted with severely life-changing situations, you can never know the extent of your capacity to love.” For teens whose lives have been touched by this baffling condition, and even for those who just want to better understand it, this book is an invaluable resource.–Pat Bangs, Fairfax County Public Library, VA
Generation Jones was the heretofore lost generation between the Boomers and GenXers, which has emerged now as a bona fide distinct generation.

I allowed The Salvation Army pick up the desk with hutch, & twin bed shown. They also took one of my previous mirror doors similar to what is shown. Today I ordered replacement opaque doors for the guest closet doors shown. They are unaligned, and are mirrors. I plan to sell them for $15. I also plan to sell my unused car and home stereo systems, Sofa, and loveseat. I already sold a 32" stereo TV for $100, that I also don't need. I will have rid myself of all the trash left by my father.
I have been laid-off after exactly 3.25 years at my employer today. My account was closed today with Convergys. I will be collecting unemployment insurance. Recently, I have been greatly needing paid time off from that job. There is much that I look forward to accomplishing. To the left is my newest logo. What say you?
The symbol was designed and completed February 21, 1958 (my birthday!) "Recession" has replaced ROCK". The name “Generation Jones” has several connotations, including: a large anonymous generation, and a “Keeping up with the Joneses” competitiveness borne from this generation’s populous birth years. The connotation, however, which is perhaps best known stems from the slang word "jones" or “jonesing”, which means a yearning or craving. Jonesers were the people who as teens in the 1970s made this slang word popular, but beyond this historical claim, many believe the concept of jonesing is among this generation’s key collective personality traits. Jonesers were given huge expectations as children in the optimistic 1960s, and then confronted with a different reality as they came of age in the pessimistic 1970s, leaving them with a certain unrequited, jonesing quality. 
Beginning February 12, 2009, the FCC Consumer Center’s existing toll free number, 1-888-CALLFCC (1-888-225-5322), will also be routed to a newly created DTV Hotline to provide additional support to the public during the digital TV transition. Consumer calls related to other FCC matters will be directed to the FCC’s existing Consumer Center and calls related to the digital TV transition will be directed to the DTV Hotline. The DTV Hotline is an unprecedented partnership with industry, the NTIA and the FCC, to coordinate DTV-related efforts in order to take advantage of the increased capability of a larger, combined initiative.
