The Athens Advocate: Sheltered Workshops
http://athensadvocate.blogspot.com/2009/11/sheltered-workshops_01.html
Sunday, November 1, 2009. While volunteering at Passion Works this week, I got to wondering about sheltered workshops. In general, of which Passion Works is one. According to Jim Larson of the Morningside. Blog, organizations like Passion Works are actually more outdated. From his post:. I am reminded of the passage of the Vocational Rehabilitation Act of 1973. It was the impetus for us to move from therapeutic arts and crafts to industrial based sheltered employment.

Sidewalks are pretty narrow places that smash together people from all walks of life. In Athens, where driving is more of a luxury than a necessity, students tread the sidewalks hurriedly between classes. The sidewalk forces people together with a bump or a brush, and is the location of many a scuffle. Sometimes, like when the weather is rainy, the sidewalk width is just too small to accommodate everyone. Every individual is made with the same very limited amount of differences," Andrews said. "We ca...

Brick Tripper: September 2009
http://bricktripper.blogspot.com/2009_09_01_archive.html
The best and worst of slip-ups and trip-ups for your reading pleasure. September 29, 2009. And So It Goes. How is it that I've found myself doing the very thing I loathe? I have never really been a fan of ridicule or laughter at another's expense. Nor am I a fan of magnifying mistakes. Yes, they happen. Yes, we are all human. Yes, it is. 160;normal to fall on your face in the middle of West Green, crushing your rather messy Grab 'n' Go beneath you. Not that I'm speaking from experience or anything.

The Athens Advocate: Walk the Walk Raises Awareness of Mental Health Issues
http://athensadvocate.blogspot.com/2009/11/walk-walk.html
Sunday, November 8, 2009. Walk the Walk Raises Awareness of Mental Health Issues. Yesterday I participated in the 2009 Walk the Walk for mental health awareness and support, sponsored by NAMI Athens. And The Gathering Place. It was exhausting, to say the least. There were two routes, long and short, both leading to Appalachian Behavioral Healthcare. The local psychiatric hospital. I took the long one, of course. See below for my route. View Walk the Walk route. In a larger map. State Senator Jimmy Stewart.

The Athens Advocate: The Gathering Place
http://athensadvocate.blogspot.com/2009/11/gathering-place.html
Tuesday, November 3, 2009. Yesterday I visited The Gathering Place. I asked Scott what services The Gathering Place provides. He replied that the organization provides a "range of mental health services," from crisis support that has people phoning in dealing with harming themselves or being suicidal, to on-site services to do with medication, family, or increased symptoms from illness, as well as therapeutic support. The Place especially emphasizes peer support. We'd get a check from Michael J. Fox.

The Athens Advocate: Reflecting Back...
http://athensadvocate.blogspot.com/2009/11/reflecting-back.html
Sunday, November 15, 2009. As this is to be my last blog entry, I thought I'd take a minute to look back on my volunteering experiences- not just at Passion Works, but also at the Hickory Creek. Nursing home and Appalachian Behavioral Healthcare. As soon as I can, I'll be adding a podcast about the collages artists were making on my final day of volunteering (among other things) to this post. Stay tuned! EDIT: Here's the podcast.

How to: Find the Perfect Mark. Ohio University student Colin King, 21, was the first victim in the video. He said that at first he was a little surprised by the encounter. At first I thought that you thought this was one of those multi-convenience carts in the middle of the aisle," King said. "I had to go back [to the aisle the food that you took was in] anyway, so I just didn't say anything.". Ashley Mick, a senior at Ohio University, said she had no idea how to react to the situation. I am 22, and it's...

Quick Fix: Foods Across America
http://aimeesquickfix.blogspot.com/2009/10/foods-across-america.html
Thursday, October 29, 2009. As everyone knows, I love food. As we speak, i'm watching the Food Network and seeing Paula Dean make love to a stick of butter. With that said, I've been thinking about foods that are staples in American culture. I investigated via Google and found ten quintessential foods that capture that good ol' American essence. A lot of what I found was quite interesting and pretty surprising. In a larger map. Until next time, have a safe and happy Halloween and eat tons of candy corn!
