His candidate statement is a hoot:
[Big chinese version is here]
Biographical Information
Current Occupation/Employer: An owner of real estate and stocks, Goodspaceguy is also an economist.
Education: Goodspaceguy received his Master of Science Degree from the University of Minnesota. Goodspaceguy previously studied for 3 years at Stockholm University in Sweden, having already earned his Bachelor of Arts degree in Germany and his high school diploma in Washington State.
Family: The life of Spaceship Earth is his family.
Significant Career Experience: Trying to understand the universe, Goodspaceguy became an amateur jack-of-all-trades and astronomer and economist and wants to advance rejuvenation and medical technology and wants tall buildings and more movies to be made in Washington State.
Candidate Statement
Goodspaceguy believes that the number one problem on Spaceship Earth is the tripling of people during the last hundred years. We numerous, brainy humans are exterminating wilderness and wildlife. Instead of starvation, genocide, and war, we should use nicer methods (such as the head tax and birth fees and study and work and social security) to decrease the number of people boarding Spaceship Earth. Goodspaceguy is pro choice on almost everything.
Goodspaceguy wants Orbital Space Colonization to be one of the great tasks for our new 21st Century. Through NASA, we have already paid the necessary money for the start of an Earth orbiting space colony, but our leaders have not been educated in orbital space colonization, and, therefore, they have wasted and are wasting much money. After profitable success in Earth orbit, we should then build additional profitable colonies in orbit around the Moon and Mars, where solar power is also plentiful.
Long ago, life from the seas of Earth colonized the land of Earth. The colonization of space by life from Earth is of similar significance.
Meanwhile on computerized Spaceship Earth, Goodspaceguy wants us to raise the quality-of-life by longevity research and by getting more people working, producing the goods and services that will make up our improving living standard and health. Let’s improve the incentive system. Let’s coax more people into productivity. Goodspaceguy wants safety-net employment of helpers. Goodspaceguy wants more people studying at our colleges during the underutilized evenings and weekends.
Please help raise the living standard by voting for the small spending candidates and by limiting your campaign contributions to less than .

THOMAS W. PLUMMER.
THOMAS W. PLUMMER, whose business activities have largely connected him with the substantial improvement and upbuilding of the west, has for sixteen years engaged in handling real estate in Yates Center and is one of the well known and reliable business men of the city. He is a native of Lincolnshire, England, born July 8, 1839, but since early youth has been a resident of this republic. His father, John B. Plummer, was also a native of the "Merrie Isle" and there married Mary E. Wilkinson. He was a farmer by occupation and in 1846 he came with his family to the United States, locating in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. where he resided until 1859, when he went to Prairie du Chien, that state, there spending his remaining days, his death occurring in 1890, when he had reached the ripe age of four score years. In his family were sixteen children, nine of whom are yet living: Emma, now Mrs. Shipman, a widow, of New York city; Thomas W., of this review; John W., who resides in Wilmington, North Carolina; Mary, wife of Dr. Stiger, of Prairie du Chien, Wisconsin; Ellen, wfe[sic] of George M. Rising, of Minneapolis, Mnnesota;[sic] Edward, of Augusta, Wisconsin; Harry W., of San Francisco, California, and Sarah W., wife of M. J. Scanlon, of Minneapolis, Minnesota, and John W. Plummer, of Wilmington, North Carolina.
Thomas W. Plummer was but seven years of age when he bade adieu to the land of his birth and came with his parents to the new world, he pursued a common school education in Wisconsin and at the age of seventeen years left the parental home, going into the pineries where he was engaged in cutting, sawing and hauling logs for two years. On the expiration of that period he went to Grand Raven, Michigan, and worked on the construction of the Milwaukee & Grand Haven Railroad for two years, acting as time-keeper and book-keeper for tthe[sic] contractor. In the meantime his parents had removed to Prairie du Chien, Wisconsin, and he there joined them, being at that place at the time of the inauguration of the Civil war. He had watched with interest the disturbance in the South and the growth of the spirit of rebellion and resolved that if an attempt at secession was made he would strike a blow for the defense of the Union. Accordingly, in April, 1861, he enlisted in Company C, Sixth Wisconsin infantry, under Colonel Lysander Cutler, and was mustered into service at Madison, Wisconsin, on the 16th of July, the regiment being attached to the Army of the Potomac at Washington, where he remained until the spring of 1862, with McClellan's forces. He then went South with General McDowell's army and was in the engagements at Slaughter Mine and Gainesville, was also in the second battle of Bull Run, South Mountain, Antietam, Fredericksburg, Fitzhugh Crossing, Chancellorsville, Mine Run and the Wilderness, after which his company went up the James river to Petersburg. Mr. Plummer was commissioned second lieutenant at Arlington Heights was made first lieutenant and was promoted captain on the Potomac river just before the engagement at Chancellorsville, while in 1864 he was breveted major and commanded his regiment a part of the time.
Major Plummer left the army on the 16th day of July, 1864, and returned to Prairie du Chien, Wisconsin, where he engaged in the stock business for some time. His residence in that city covered altogther an aggregate of fourteen years. On leaving there he entered the service of the Union Pacific Railroad Company, then constructing its line, being employed as bridge foreman. He followed the line out to Ogden, Utah, and then returned to do bridge work, in the capacity of
foreman, on the St. Paul & Duluth Railroad, being thus engaged for more than a year. He next went to the Red River of the North and for a time followed the business of trading with the Indians, after which, he came to Kansas, locating in Woodson County, where he carried on farming until 1876. That year witnessed his removal to Texas and locating near Dallas, he furnished wood and ties, under contract to the T. & P. R. R. Co. and Cotton Belt Railroad Company. In 1881 he returned to Woodson County, where he again engaged in farming for two years and then sold his land and took up his abode in Yates Center, where for sixteen years he has conducted real estate transactions, handling some valuable property. He has a comprehensive knowledge of realty values and of favorable locations, and is thus competent to advise his clients to their best advantage.
Major Plummer was married in Woodson County in December, 1878, to Miss Mary F. Hamilton, daughter of Alexander Hamilton, and their children are Bernard W., Mary Lenore and Claire S. The Major was reared in the Democratic faith, cast his first presidential vote for Stephen A. Douglas and was a Democrat until 1901. Socially he is identified with the Order of Red Men and with the Grand Army of the Republic, and as a citizen he is as loyal to his country and her best interests as when the tocsin of war sounded and he went to the front as one of the boys in blue, to return with the rank of major as the recognition of three year's faithful and loyal service.

Christine Teel
Operations Manager/Buyer
Years employed at the MIA = Lucky 13!
Describe something interesting or unusual about your work here:
Being a professional buyer exposes you to all kinds of stimuli which must methodically be processed prior to the actual purchase decision. There is a constant stream of new products hitting the markets everyday and it is our job to choose the right product at the right price at the right time. And let’s not forget the fact that we are operating a retail business within the walls of a non-profit art museum. Every product we sell is either directly or indirectly tied to the permanent collection or traveling exhibitions of the MIA.
The relevancy issue is a very intriguing aspect of being a retail buyer for a museum store, as it adds an extra layer of challenge to every purchasing decision.
What was your first job:
My first job ever in the U.S. (I am Canadian and had to live in the state for three years before I could seek employment) was my freshman year (University of Minnesota) working in a cramped “Fotomat” booth in Dinkytown! I think the funniest question people would always ask me was if there was a toilet in the booth!
What’s hanging on your walls?
Hmmmm….I collect all kinds of estate pieces…..I tend to favor portraits. I am especially fond of Victorian death portrayals mostly because of their Edgar Allen Poe qualities. (You’re never coming to my house now, are you?)
If you weren’t a Operations Manager/Buyer, what would you be?
I would totally do what I do now, but in a completely altered mode. And yes, it would involve my love of all things bicycle!
Where are you originally from?
I am from the land where you can literally watch your dog run away for TWO DAYS!
That would be Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada: Home of beautiful flowing fields of bright yellow canola.
What is your favorite work of art at the MIA?
Those who know me well might say that I am partial to the Connecticut Room.
Check out our Haunted Tour of the MIA on Flickr.
What do you do for fun?
For fun? Hmmm…that’s easy….I ride my rigid Redline SS 29er in as much dirt as possible! Ahhh, it is winter now you say? I still ride and have taken up snow shoeing as well. Anything that keeps me outside is a sure thing!
What are you currently listening to /watching for pleasure?
I am completely addicted to Dexter and smile a lot when I listen to anything by Weezer.
Where is your next trip?
While I am a colossal fan of day dreaming, my next real trip is to SoCal for some rest and relaxation and to reenact scenes from the movie Point Break, of course.
Name one guilty pleasure.
I have more than one. Please see The Muddy Pig .
What would be your super hero power?
I grew up totally obsessed with She-Ra ! She could totally transform herself and I think that power could be very useful.

Shadow on Poison Ivy
Image by wallygrom
Toxicodendron radicans, better known as poison ivy (older synonyms are Rhus toxicodendron and Rhus radicans), is a poisonous North American plant that is well known for its production of urushiol, a clear liquid compound found within the sap of the plant that causes an itching rash in most people who touch it. The plant is not a true ivy (Hedera).
Poison ivy can be found growing in any of the following three forms:
as a trailing vine that is 10–25 centimeters tall (4 to 10 inches)
as a shrub up to 1.2 meters tall (4 feet)
as a climbing vine that grows on trees or some other support
Poison ivy grows throughout much of North America, including the Canadian Maritime provinces, Quebec, Ontario, Manitoba, and all U.S. states east of the Rockies, as well as in the mountainous areas of Mexico up to around 1,500 m (4,900 ft) (caquistle or caxuistle is the Nahuatl term), and is normally found in wooded areas, especially along edge areas. It also grows in exposed rocky areas and in open fields and disturbed areas. It also grows as a forest understory plant, although it is only somewhat shade tolerant. The plant is extremely common in suburban and exurban areas of New England, the Mid-Atlantic, and southeastern United States. Similar species, poison oak, and Toxicodendron rydbergii are found in western North America. Poison ivy rarely grows at altitudes above 1,500 m (4,900 ft), although the altitude limit varies in different locations. The plants can grow as a shrub up to about 1.2 metres (3.9 ft) tall, as a groundcover 10–25 cm (3.9–9.8 in) high, or as a climbing vine on various supports. Older vines on substantial supports send out lateral branches that may at first be mistaken for tree limbs.
The deciduous leaves of poison ivy are trifoliate with three almond-shaped leaflets. Leaf colour ranges from light green (usually the younger leaves) to dark green (mature leaves), turning bright red in fall; though other sources say leaves are reddish when expanding, turn green through maturity, then back to red, orange, or yellow in the fall. The leaflets of mature leaves are somewhat shiny. The leaflets are 3 to 12 cm long, rarely up to 30 cm. Each leaflet has a few or no teeth along its edge, and the leaf surface is smooth. Leaflet clusters are alternate on the vine, and the plant has no thorns. Vines growing on the trunk of a tree become firmly attached through numerous aerial rootlets. The vines develop adventitious roots, or the plant can spread from rhizomes or root crowns. The milky sap of poison ivy darkens after exposure to the air.
Poison ivy spreads either vegetatively or sexually. Poison ivy is dioecious; flowering occurs from May to July. The yellowish- or greenish-white flowers are typically inconspicuous and are located in clusters up to 8 cm above the leaves. The berry-like fruit, a drupe, mature by August to November with a grayish-white colour. Fruits are a favourite winter food of some birds and other animals. Seeds are spread mainly by animals and remain viable after passing through the digestive tract.
It is not particularly sensitive to soil moisture, although it does not grow in desert or arid conditions. It grows in a wide variety of soil types, and soil pH from 6.0 (acidic) to 7.9 (moderately alkaline). It can grow in areas subject to seasonal flooding or brackish water.
It is more common now than when Europeans first entered North America. Real estate development adjacent to wild, undeveloped land has engendered "edge effects," enabling poison ivy to form vast, lush colonies in such places. It is listed as a noxious weed in the U.S. states of Minnesota and Michigan and the Canadian province of Ontario.
Poison ivy and its relatives are virtually unknown in Europe.
The following three characteristics are sufficient to identify poison ivy in most situations: (a) clusters of three leaflets, (b) alternate leaf arrangement, and (c) lack of thorns. Although a number of other plants fit this simplified description, any plant with these criteria should be prudently avoided by people unfamiliar with identifying poison ivy. Identification by experienced people is often made difficult by leaf damage, leafless conditions during winter, and unusual growth forms due to environmental and/or genetic factors. The appearance of poison ivy can vary greatly between environments and even individual specimens within a single area.
Various mnemonic rhymes describe the characteristic appearance of poison ivy:
"Leaves of three, let it be."
"Hairy vine, no friend of mine." Poison ivy vines are very poisonous.
"Raggy rope, don't be a dope!" Poison ivy vines on trees have a furry "raggy" appearance. This rhyme warns tree climbers to be wary. Old, mature vines on tree trunks can be quite large and long, with the recognizable leaves obscured among the higher foliage of the tree.
"One, two, three? Don't touch me."
"Berries white, run in fright" and "Berries white, danger in sight."
"Longer middle stem, stay away from them." This refers to the middle leaflet having a notably longer stem than the two side leaflets and is a key to differentiating it from the similar-looking Rhus aromatica - Fragrant sumac.
"Red leaflets in the spring, it's a dangerous thing." This refers to the red appearance that new leaflets sometimes have in the spring. (Note that later, in the summer, the leaflets are green, making them more difficult to distinguish from other plants, while in autumn they can be reddish-orange.)
"Side leaflets like mittens, will itch like the dickens." This refers to the appearance of some, but not all, poison ivy leaves, where each of the two side leaflets has a small notch that makes the leaflet look like a mitten with a "thumb." (Note that this rhyme should not be misinterpreted to mean that only the side leaflets will cause itching, since actually all parts of the plant can cause itching.)
"If butterflies land there, don't put your hand there." This refers to the fact that some butterflies land on poison ivy, since they are not affected, which provides them protection as their predators avoid eating the plant.
"If it's got hair, it won't be fair." This refers to the hair that can be on the stem and leaves of poison ivy.
The reaction caused by poison ivy, urushiol-induced contact dermatitis, is an allergic reaction. Around 15%[9] to 30% of people have no allergic response, but most people will become sensitized with repeated or more concentrated exposure to urushiol. Reactions can progress to anaphylaxis. Over 350,000 people are affected by poison ivy annually.
The pentadecylcatechols of the oleoresin within the sap of poison-ivy and related plants causes the allergic reaction; the plants produce a mixture of pentadecylcatechols, which collectively is called urushiol. After injury the sap leaks to the surface of the plant where the urushiol becomes a blackish lacquer after contact with oxygen.
Urushiol binds to the skin on contact, where it causes severe itching that develops into reddish coloured inflammation or non-coloured bumps, and then blistering. These lesions may be treated with Calamine lotion, Burow's solution compresses or baths to relieve discomfort, though recent studies have shown some traditional medicines to be ineffective. Over-the-counter products to ease itching—or simply oatmeal baths and baking soda—are now recommended by dermatologists for the treatment of poison ivy.
The oozing fluids released by scratching blisters do not spread the poison. The appearance of a spreading rash indicates that some areas received more of the poison and reacted sooner than other areas or that contamination is still occurring from contact with objects to which the original poison was spread. The blisters and oozing result from blood vessels that develop gaps and leak fluid through the skin; if the skin is cooled, the vessels constrict and leak less. If poison ivy is burned and the smoke then inhaled, this rash will appear on the lining of the lungs, causing extreme pain and possibly fatal respiratory difficulty. If poison ivy is eaten, the mucus lining of the mouth and digestive tract can be damaged. A poison ivy rash usually develops within a week of exposure and can last anywhere from one to four weeks, depending on severity and treatment. In rare cases, poison ivy reactions may require hospitalization.
Urushiol oil can remain active for several years, so handling dead leaves or vines can cause a reaction. In addition, oil transferred from the plant to other objects (such as pet fur) can cause the rash if it comes into contact with the skin. Clothing, tools, and other objects that have been exposed to the oil should be washed to prevent further transmission.
People who are sensitive to poison ivy can also experience a similar rash from mangoes. Mangoes are in the same family (Anacardiaceae) as poison ivy; the sap of the mango tree and skin of mangoes has a chemical compound similar to urushiol. A related allergenic compound is present in the raw shells of cashews. Similar reactions have been reported occasionally from contact with the related Fragrant Sumac (Rhus aromatica) or Japanese lacquer tree.

William T. Underwood
Image by Dystopos
William T. Underwood is one of the youngest of the iron-makers of the United states, and none are better known among those who sustain the new-born fame of Alabama in the great iron markets than he. The industrial civilization of our times is a moral and intellectual plane upon which strong men dispose great events. Leaders play their parts there as surely as in the eras of war, or discovery, or political reform. There are subjects to be moved upon that plane, under the most enlarged theories of offensive and defensive combination, regulated, withal, by the most advanced principles of social and political development. The widening influence of commerce; the refinement of thought, put in motion by the steam-driven machine ; the cultivation of personal honor, in the realm of banking ; the elevated manhood of labor are among the subjects, of which we speak, and whose disposition the modern business man is brought to contemplate and appreciate.
The personal elements of character which insure Mr. Underwood's high rank in his chosen sphere of life are the strictest integrity and directness of conduct, promptness and energy in methods, intelligence in opinions, ready accessibility and unvarying courtesy of intercourse. He is a business man, thoroughly identified with the life of the people among whom he lives.
W. T. Underwood was born in Nashville, Tenn., July 24, 1848. He is descended from an English colonist, who settled in Goocliland County, Virginia, as a planter toward the middle of the eighteenth century. Joseph R. Underwood, grandfather of William T., emigrated from Virginia to Kentucky in his youth. His name is honorably connected with the history of his adopted State He served as a soldier in the war of 1812. He represented one of the Kentucky districts in the lower house of Congress, and represented the State in the Senate. He was a lawyer of great distinction, and served as one of the judges of the court of appeals of that State.
The father, Eugene Underwood, is now a large farmer and land owner in Warren County, Kentucky. He was for several years a practicing lawyer at Nashville, Tenn. He was one of the originators of the Louisville & Nashville Railroad, and one of its first directors.
William T. was carried to Louisville, Ky., by his father, after the death of his mother in Nashville, and there placed in the public schools. From these he was advanced to the Forest Academy, near the city. Having been well educated, Mr. Underwood read law, and was admitted to the bar, but never practiced the profession. He soon left Louisville to enter into land operations in Minnesota, and there became associated with influential men. His efforts in the West were altogether successful and satisfactory. In 1871 he took up his residence again in Louisville, but even then he continued to buy and sell the lands of Minnesota and other Western States and Territories, to examine titles and negotiate loans.
In 1882 Mr. Underwood was induced to come to Birmingham. He saw at once the marvelous opportunities here open to energy and capital well directed. He resolved to remain permanently, and then associated himself with Mr. H. F. De Bardeleben and others in founding the Mary Pratt Furnace Company.
Mr. Underwood has disposed of much of his possessions in other States to concentrate them at Birmingham. He is now a large investor in manufactories and real estate in and near the city. He is a director of the First National Bank, and president of the Mary Pratt Furnace Company, whose affairs he manages with distinguished capacity and success. He refused a nomination to the legislature at the August, 1886, election.
Mr. Underwood's mother, Catharine Underwood, nee Thompson, who died when he was ten years old, was a daughter of a lawyer of note, William Thompson, of Nashville.
In 1871 William T. Underwood and Miss Miranda B. Wilder, daughter of Oscar Wilder, a Louisville gentleman of wealth, were married. They lost their only child, a son, born to them in Birmingham. Mrs. Underwood is a very active promoter of the interests of the Episcopal Church, of which she is a member, and of practical charities of various kinds in the city. Mr. Underwood is a member of both the Masonic and Odd Fellow fraternities.
