President Quirino opened the third session of the second congress delivering before a joint meeting of the two chambers of the law making body his State of the Nation message.
Excerpt from the Fourth State of the Nation Address of President Elpidio Quirino delivered on January 28, 1952:
"Our record in the field or fiscal policy in the past year is worth underscoring. It is well known that government finances have been severely strained during these postwar years due to the mounting expenditures for defense and peace and order, for public instruction to keep abreast of the increasing school population, for the reconstruction of war-damaged facilities, for the rehabilitation of government corporations, and for reactivating services paralyzed during the last war. The time since liberation has been too short for the country to recover from the ravages of the war. Consequently the national economy could not yield sufficient revenue from taxes or other sources to meet not only current irreducible expenditures but also extraordinary expenditures for economic rehabilitation and development and for various urgent social services."

In 1973, Delta Theta Chapter was chartered as Sacramento Alumnae Chapter. From that vision, Delta Youth State was born as part of Delta Days at the State Capitol. Sacramento Alumnae Chapter member, June Long was serving as Regional Director at the time. She had a vision. From that vision, Delta Youth State was born as part of Delta Days at the Capitol. This workshop is a living civics lesson that allows students to discuss state budget issues (during a crisis period), establish priorities, and develop draft bills in response to community issues while role playing as legislators. The Delta Youth State program officially became a part of the National Delta Social Action Program in 1991. Delta Days and Delta Youth State at the Capitol still continues today.
Since visiting the Empire State Building years ago, I've been determined to build my own version. I've been busy with a big project for a while now (several years in the making), but I wanted to take a break to post something different. Made from over 7,000 pieces and built over 14 hours, I designed this piece with many SNOT techniques to capture as many details as possible at a (relatively) small scale. That said, at 31 inches tall, this is my tallest creation to date. This building ended up requiring a great deal of trans-gray 1x1 plates (so much that only one Bricklink store in the world had the required inventory). In fact, in total, the tower includes over 3,800 1x1 plates (over half the pieces).

Excerpt from the Fifth State of the Nation Address of President Elpidio Quirino delivered on January 26, 1953:
"Our essential public services have been progressively improved and expanded, spreading throughout the country the benefits of health, education, and social welfare for our people to enjoy. Our death rate has been reduced; our birth rate, increased. The hardy perennial problems of inadequate school space and inadequate rice supply have become things of the past. And what is more, prices have gone down, living standards have been raised, and the lot of the common man, especially the laborer, has been greatly improved.
Our foreign relations have grown and so developed that one of the sources of our strength is in the sympathy and high regard of our friends across the seas.
All these have placed us in a firmer and sounder position, increased our international credit, and enhanced our name and prestige abroad."

I am not sure what my first Flickr photo was but this is from September 2007 and is one of the first in my photo stream. This is a collage of a few of the many food stands at the Minnesota State Fair-my home state.
At the bottom is a photo of my brother, my cousin who worked in the malt stand, and I am on the right.

Excerpt from the Third State of the Nation Address of President Ramon Magsaysay delivered on January 23, 1956:
"The improvement of health in the rural areas is another tangible achievement. Many more towns and barrios are now assured of potable water from artesian wells[9]and water systems.[10]Mobile health units, now numbering over one thousand, performed more than ten million work units[11]in a three-month period of operation alone during 1955, providing medical services varying from simple consultations to child delivery and reaching places where no medical service had ever been available before. The complete eradication of malaria within the next three years is now within sight."

Imagine the vision and optimism of the people of Iowa in 1871, when they began construction on their massive new capitol building. Then, Des Moines had a population of only 10,000.
Wikipedia tells us "Not long after achieving statehood, Iowa recognized that the Capitol should be moved farther west than Iowa City, and the 1st General Assembly, in 1846, authorized a commission to select a location. In 1854, the General Assembly decreed a location 'within two miles of the Raccoon fork of the Des Moines River.' The exact spot was chosen when Wilson Alexander Scott gave the state nine and one-half acres where the Capitol now stands. Final legislative approval for the construction of a permanent statehouse was given on April 8, 1870."
Construction was completed in 1886.
Over the years, the exterior suffered the effects of the elements; by the late 20th century, covers had to be built over the entrances to protect visitors from falling masonry.
The inside fared no better. At mid-century, the "old fashioned" Victorian polychromed walls were painted over in plain colors more suited to the era's sensibilities.
Fortunately, painstaking projects spanning several decades have restored the exterior and interior to their former splendor.
