feature story project part 1

Leon Schmidt, a noted philanthropist and successful businessman who owned the Yaring’s line of clothing stores in Austin, died Friday, a family member said. He was 97.    Schmidt owned Yaring’s, a clothing retail er that had 10 stores in Austin at the height of its popularity in the 1980s. Its flagship store on Congress Avenue was a local landmark for more than 60 years. Schmidt was an active philanthropist who supported numerous causes in Austin. He was born Feb. 12, 1916, in Yorktown in DeWitt County in South Texas. His fa- ther, Jacob Schmidt, had come to the United States as a young Hungarian immigrant with $18 in his pocket. In 1907, he sold dry goods out of a covered wagon in Seguin. Two years later, he opened a store called Jacob Schmidt in Yorktown. In 1930, he moved his store and family to Austin.

A Man with A Golden Voice

1. he looks tired and a little beat up, his face is kind of dirty and his teeth are messed up, his hair is long and wild
2. he sounds like a professional speaker, or the announcer for the commercials on fox
3.Hudson Street ramp off northbound I-71., kind of looks like a dirty street
4. the fact that hes homeless and gets famous overnight, and gets job offers like crazy
5.Problems with drugs, alcohol and "a few other things" derailed his ambitions long ago.
the fact that every company with an announcer was looking for him.
 phe recently marked two years of sobriety.

top picture of 2013

this picture is the top picture because of the conflict in the picture, fear, worry and frantic movements make this picture great

My 2013 top list

My list of top stories of 2013

The best song was "Get Lucky" by Daft Punk. this song is both funk and techno, a great song with rythm only daft punk could create





 
the biggest devastation was the hurricane in the philipines. it left 2 million people homeless








The biggest celebrity death was nelson mandela. he was in prison for 29 years because of trying to speak out. then he became the leader of africa



i think most annoying celebrity goes to miley cyrus. she made a number of gross appearances like at the vmas












the game of 2013 was Legend of Zelda Link between worlds.
