Good news:
If you don't use your coupons before they expire, they're still worth the money you paid for them for an extra three months.
GrabOne FaceValue gives you another three months after your coupons expire, making it even easier to enjoy businesses all over New Zealand.
How does it work?
- A coupon is valid up until and including the expiry date printed on the coupon.
- If you don't use it before the expiry date for whatever reason, the coupon retains the value you paid for it for an additional three months.
- This means you can turn up to the business up to three months after the coupon has expired and put the money you spent to buy that coupon towards the service or experience printed on your coupon.
For example, if you spend $50 on a $100 dining voucher but don't use it before the expiry date, you will still be entitled to $50 worth of food and beverage services at that business for an additional three months.
The same goes for coupons without monetary values assigned to them. For example, if you buy a bungy jump deal but don't use it before the expiry date, you can still put the money you spent on the coupon towards a bungy jump, for another three months. Remember, the FaceValue of your coupon can only be put toward the service or experience printed on your coupon.
A few things to note:
- FaceValue applies to all deals that display the FaceValue icon. If the icon is not on a deal, FaceValue does not apply.
- It's always best to use your coupon before the expiry date, so you get the most value for your money. And if you're a bit forgetful, we now automatically remind you if your coupons are about to expire.
- During the FaceValue period, your coupon can only be put towards the service stated on the coupon.
- If the offer is seasonal, like a seasonal menu or chimney sweep service, the FaceValue of your coupon can be put towards a similar offer at the merchant's discretion.
- FaceValue does not apply to product deals, travel and accommodation-related deals, or time-dependent event deals.
- The conditions on your coupon still apply during the FaceValue grace period.

Capri V8 Update and More Tire Abuse!
Hi! Just a short video to show some of the updates to Agent 8771's 1974
Ford Capri. He built a roller-cam 5.0 litre with aluminum heads and a
little more cam to add to the fun. We also did the "RS" paint job to the
hood and tops of the fenders and replaced the bent hood with a nice
straight one. Lots of tuning and detail work has resulted in a super fun,
reliable Capri that will destroy tires all day long.

Hi! This is Agent 8771's 1974 Ford Capri, featuring a high-output 302 V8
and Borg-Warner T5 transmission hooked to a Ford 9 inch positraction rear.
This car originally had the wheezy Pinto 2000 cc engine and 4 speed trans,
so it is much better now. A nice, original, rust-free unit brought up from
the States to save it from the recyclers yard. Sweet vintage aluminum slot
mags, nerf bars, and diamond-tuft package tray finish this Capri off in
classic 70's style! Hope you like it as much as I do!

Companies Mentioned
Toronto, 27 February 2012. Metals Creek Resources Corp. ("MEK", TSXV: MEK) is pleased to announce that it has received regulatory approval for the Option Agreement with GTA Resources and Mining Inc. ("GTA") reported by press release on January 10, 2013 whereby GTA can earn a 51% to 70% interest in MEK's Squid East property in the Matson Creek area of Yukon Territory. The 82 claim Squid East property was initially staked by MEK in 2011 and there are no underlying royalties or other interests on the property.
To earn an initial 51% interest, GTA must make cash payments of $60,000 over three years ($20,000 due upon regulatory approval), issue a total of 2,000,000 GTA shares over three years (200,000 due upon regulatory approval) and incur work expenditures of $2,000,000 over three years ($500,000 firm including a minimum 400 meters of drilling by 1st anniversary). MEK will be the operator during the earn-in period. Once a 51% interest is earned by GTA, either a 51/49 joint venture will be formed, or GTA may elect to earn an additional 19% interest to bring its total property interest to 70%.
The terms to increase GTA's interest from 51% to 70% include payment of $210,000 and 400,000 GTA shares within 120 days of the 3rd anniversary date and incurring an additional $1,000,000 in exploration expenditures by the 5th anniversary. GTA would assume operatorship once it had earned a 51% interest.

Adamo battery not hot-swappable
Dell's recently unveiled Adamo laptop emulates Apple's MacBook Air in more than just looks. It's been revealed that the PC giant's latest laptop doesn't feature a user-removable battery either. Adamo_04 Dell's Adamo: users, you can't change the batter This means that, should buyers have a fault with their Adamo battery, the …
Non user replacable consumable?
If the user can no longer replace the battery then surely this should be covered by the warranty on the machine and not just the 6-12 month battery warranty that OEMs give you as a token gesture.
Can the battery still be classed as a consumable?
Does an extended warranty now cover the battery as well?
MacBoon AIr Battery
How hard could it be to swap a MacBook Air battery? I dunno. Let's see - 10 small screws to open the back cover; and 9 small screws to remove the battery from the chassis. Boy, that sounds difficult! <sarcasm>
One way round this battery problem and its a good one DO NOT BUY THE LAPTOP IN THE FIRST PLACE.
You'da thunk...
That Dell might have learnt something from the reaction to the battery lock-in on the Macs with them and figure out that this might not be a "good thing"... especially as Dell don't have the religious cult behind the Second Coming of Jobs...
Ever heard of Dell next business day onsite repair?
Having recently changed my Dell XPS with a macbook the only thing I am missing is exactly this: The much better, faster and cheaper support that Dell offers. No need to find a store: Whenever I have had a problem with my Dell laptops, they have been repaired onsite and that is included in the standard 3-year next business day service option. I wish Apple had something similar.

Arena bug
It says "you are lucky to rise in rank without a battle" when I try to do arena.. how do is stop this?
Answer from: Haizel
That means the particular slot you were trying for was vacant... if you're over number 100 in rankings, this happens a lot, because people don't play quite as often. If you don't register an arena team between resets, you forfeit any battles that land on you. Whenever you challenge you have the opportunity to rise 1-5 ranks randomly. This sometimes happens in club challenges too.

It is the most feared phrase in the English language, Ronald Reagan famously said:
"We're from the government, and we're here to help."
If government aid is evil, there are certainly some exceptions. Home mortgages insured by the Federal Housing Administration have helped put more than 34 million Americans into their own homes since the since the 1930s. Millions more have benefited from zero-down VA loans from the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs and from the Department of Agricultures Rural Development loans. Mortgage guarantees and down payment assistance are also doled out by municipalities and state programs such as California's Housing Finance Agency.
It's hard to generalize about their pros and cons with so many government-enabled loans out there. But when we compare them to conventional (non-government) loans, a few observations arise.
FHA loans normally demand higher interest rates than conventional mortgages because of the increased risk of default. The "spread" between FHA and conventional loans can be as high as a point, or 1 percent, which is a lot. Borrow $200,000 for 30 years at 5 percent fixed and you'll pay $1,073 monthly. Make it 6 percent and you'll pay $1,199. It's an extra $45,360 over 30 years.
Why have so many buyers chosen FHA loans? Not because they like higher interest. It's about lower down payments. An FHA-backed loan today can be had for about 3% percent down, even by someone without stellar credit. The same borrower might be asked for 20 percent down by a lender without the FHA guarantee.
But there are complicating factors. FHA borrowers must pay an upfront fee of 1.5 percent of the loan amount, plus an annual insurance premium of 0.5 percent. That premium is about the same as what's paid by a conventional borrower who must carry Private Mortgage Insurance (PMI).
A higher-interest-rate FHA mortgage may cost less in the long run than a conventional mortgage with PMI, but there is no overarching rule. You have to run the numbers and compare. For many borrowers, the deal "maker" or "breaker" won't be the interest rates or monthly payments. For many, with conventional lenders now demanding 10 or 20 percent down, it's all about down payments.
In theory, it's possible to avoid PMI with a piggyback mortgage structure - by borrowing 80 percent of the property value in one loan and 10 percent on a second for example. (This trick was common in the loose-lending days of old but today (in 2009), it's much harder to find second-position lenders at loan-to-value ratios like these.
Two other brands of government-guaranteed loans are offered by federal agencies. The Department of Veterans Affairs will insure zero-down, 100 percent financing as a benefit to military veterans (even if they served in peacetime). The interest rates are similar to FHA loans.
Zero-down financing is also backed by the U.S. Department of Agriculture under its Rural Development program. The audience for RD loans is limited. They're intended to help low-income people buy, build or renovate homes in rural areas. Houses must be modest in size, design and cost, according to the agency. The interest rates are similar to FHA and VA loans, combined with 100 percent financing. Great terms for the needs of many people if they qualify.
Adjustable Rate Mortgages, or ARMs, got a bad name in the housing crisis that culminated around 2005. Inherently, an ARM is neither a good nor a bad thing—just a legitimate financial instrument that can be used or abused, like a bottle of wine or a ...

Accusations of EPA overzealousness peaked in April. That's when a regional administrator resigned after a two-year-old video surfaced in which he compared enforcement of oil and gas regulations with how the Romans used to conquer villages, by finding "the first five guys they saw and they'd crucify them."Read the AP story here.
GOP critics publicized the video of Al Armendariz, who headed the region that includes Texas and other major oil- and gas-producing states, as an example of what was wrong with an agency that Republican presidential contender Mitt Romney calls "completely out of control."
Actually, the U.S. produced more oil in 2010 than it has since 2003, and all forms of energy production have increased under Obama, but he can't take credit for all of it. ...
EPA critics say the problem is bigger than enforcement. They point to regulations that they say hamper oil and gas production and raise refining costs, while giving an advantage to renewable fuels.
"I am only getting a little nervous about two projects — the proposed Sasol GTL facility [not the new ethylene plant] and the proposed G2X facility — both in Lake Charles. They need a hefty difference between oil and natural gas prices to make sense."
Lower oil prices also might slow the growth of oil production in parts of the U.S., Canada and elsewhere because it will no longer be so profitable.

Facing opposition from a powerful industry, the governor and many in the Legislature, a New Orleans-area flood board's lawsuit against dozens of oil, gas and pipeline companies seemed doomed early on.

City approves tax break for Northrop Grumman
Published: September 22,2010
Tags: manufacturing, municipal government, shipbuilding, taxes
GULFPORT — The Gulfport City Council has unanimously approved tax breaks totaling $94,688 a year for Northrop Grumman's shipyard, but one will expire in a year and the other by July 2013 unless the incoming council decides to renew it.
Northrop Grumman requested the tax breaks for 10 years, based on the company's investment of more than $18 million in building expansion and equipment. The Sun Herald reports representatives of the Harrison County Development Commission recommended the tax exemptions be offered for five years.
Northrop Grumman has retooled its shipyard to make fiberglass composites, which are replacing aluminum and steel on ships. The shipyard employs about 550 workers.

Today's last-minute cancellation of the elementary teachers' strike left parents fuming and public school teachers facing empty classrooms in the chaotic aftermath.
York Region school board treated it as a snow day, since many students could not get to school after buses were cancelled.
Board spokesperson Licinio Miguelo said that since the Ontario Labour Relations Board ruling – that the planned strike would be illegal – wasn't released until 4 a.m., there wasn't time to reverse the decision on transportation services.
Check our our hot topic on the ongoing labour dispute.
Many teachers reported just a handful of students per class, much less than usual snow days. Parents who scrambled to get children there were left wondering if students would spend the day playing in the gym, instead.
Mr. Miguelo said students who could not make it to class would not be penalized, nor would they miss out on any curriculum.
It was the only fair thing to do, he said, given the board's announcement came at 6:20 a.m. Friday.
"We understand it's frustrating for parents," he said.
He said the board couldn't provide complete attendance figures until next week.
Parents said it was a struggle to figure it all out themselves, let alone explain it to their children, who went to bed assuming they could sleep in late this morning. Many vented their anger about the flip-flop through social media, vowing to hold a protest of their own by keeping their kids home.
"Both my wife and I are at work," dad Dave Mitchell said. "So we have kept our older daughter off high school and our nine-year-old off school in protest of Bill 115."
Others, such as Markham parent Meg Stokes, decided to march outside her children's school to display her dismay.
"Parents are even more frustrated," said Ms Stokes, whose students attend Wilfrid Laurier Elementary School in Markham. "We've made alternate plans and are scrambling this morning to switch everything. Parents took the day off work so they aren't getting paid today, but now the schools are open? Total confusion and frustration!"
Ms Stokes is one of several parents who planned the "counter-protest" to let the teacher unions and provincial government know they are fed up with their kids being used as pawns in the ongoing labour dispute.
Newmarket's Nicole Craddock was not impressed by the uncertainty. "hard to be supportive when today has caused nothing but chaos for everyone with kids in school!" she tweeted to the board and Elementary Teachers Federation of Ontario
Markham's Shalini Subramanian tweeted, "I would hate to be a parent right now during this #Bill115 fiasco. How can they say schools are open again at 4 a.m.? Absolutely brutal."
"Our school sent e-mail at 8:25 a.m. that school was open. School starts at 8:30. A mess," said Tracey Kent in Vaughan.
Ann-Marie Hulse, a teacher at Lincoln Alexander Public School in Markham, suggested that by switching its plans at the last minute, the school board made a difficult situation worse.
She said the only recourse for teachers now is a "permanent pause" in extracurriculars.
She said she loves her job and most parents are supportive, but she plans withdraw volunteer duties for the next two years if necessary stand up to the province's "bullying" – withdrawing right to strike and her banked sick days.
"Children sneeze directly on me, throw up on my shoes."
Local unions in the GTA are planning mass protests around Maple Leaf Gardens during the Liberal Convention later this month, York ETFO president David Clegg said.
He said he would not be surprised if teachers also hold spontaneous protests before and after school or during lunch hours.
"Elementary teachers in York Region are seething this morning," he added.
Elementary teachers union president Sam Hammond said his members will respect the decision, but are calling on whoever is elected premier this month to meet for "respectful" discussions.
"We did not believe this to be an illegal strike based on past political protests directed at the government," he said. "However, we still have a situation where the terms and conditions of our members' employment have been dictated through a disgraceful misuse of government power. It cannot be business as usual in the education sector."

About this design:
I've been stumped on how to use these yellow jade squares in a leather wrap. I finally came up with this ombre pattern to showcase their beautiful variance. I tried using a random mix but I like square beads in a planned out pattern. Just me.
Components:Yellow Jade, Tiger's eye, Toho seed beads, Czech glass. Leather cord and TierraCast flower button from LB.
Read the comments (or add your own)
Pretty pattern
This is a wonderful bracelet. I'm working on using the tila tiles and I also love the leather. This bracelet shows your skill and trained eye at color and design. Love it!
So very beautiful! Great colors and design!
If I may ask, how do you keep the square beads from flipping over? I've tried running the thread through twice and making it as tight as I can. But the square beads still want to keep spinning around instead of lying flat. Or maybe that's just their nature?
Thank you all for your compliments!
I have the same problem with square beads that are flat and have only one hole so for flat squares or tiles I only use the ones with two holes that way they can't flip.
However these are not flat they are a cube so they are fit snugly up to one another and don't flip.
I wish I could find more of these cubes in different stones. I really like them.
Fabulous design!
This is fantastic!
Are the 6mm squares or…?
( I mean cubes)
Thank you! They are 4mm.
Love it, fantastic design!
I like the ombre arrangement a lot, and the overall colors scheme is so earthy and warm. Good job!
Very cool!! I have done rectangles that also flip over but the person who bought them said she liked to be able to play with them. Kind of like abacus beads or something.
Fabulous design
Love the ombre
I know these bracelets are SO popular, but I just don't "get it" … so maybe I'm just not cool enough.
This is the BEST wrap bracelet I've seen. Maybe it's the square beads! Maybe it's the ombre. Maybe it's the tiger eye. Maybe I'm *finally* getting cool??? Anyway… I'm finally loving this style of bracelet.
Well I get it. I love wrap bracelets and really need to try this. A funky casual way to have LOTS of stones/color encircle your arm.
Excellent and beautiful work!
great colors in this. I love the gradient you've got going on here, as well as the seed bead 'interjections' throughout. I want to copy it!!!
Well Julie…. I'm glad you're finally on board with wraps! I'll be giving you some more inspiration soon. I'm getting a new shipment of 4mm square beads tomorrow in amethyst, carnelian and pyrite, oh the possibilities. Yea! (Oh stop, you all know how exciting it is to get your bead shipments)
Thank you all again for your support and kind words.
What kind of string do you use?
This one was strung with KO beading thread, but I have also used Nymo, C-Lon and One G. One G is my favorite because you don't have to condition the thread, because it is preconditioned.

Enslaved: Odyssey to the West, may be tasked with creating a new entry in Capcom's Devil May Cry franchise (last seen in 2008). Capcom has repeatedly expressed interest in leaving some of its established franchises in the hands of Western studios, with Bionic Commando and Dead Rising all finding homes outside of Japan.
The rumor has found its way back into circulation, thanks to a tweet and a trademark. According to Ninja Theory's Twitter account, a new game from the team is set to be announced at Tokyo Game Show, which opens on September 16th. Before that, however, Capcom will hold a press conference (a few hours away at the time of writing) and announce several new titles -- and "DMC" may be one of them.
According to Siliconera, Capcom has filed a wide-ranging trademark for "DMC," covering everything from game software to mobile phone ringtones. The trademark isn't enough to reveal a collusion between Capcom and Ninja Theory (let alone a new Devil May Cry game), but it raises an interesting question: Will Andy Serkis play Dante or Nero?

hairy legs and all
That Lying Doris Day
Standing before the array of shaving products made and marketed especially for women is astonishing. Who would believe that there were so many types of razors, not to mention the creams and lotions to be used pre, post and (I guess) during the shaving process. The products all claim to result to silky smooth legs and underarms, as well as keeping one safe from nicks and cuts. I stand before the expansive display and finally walk away without making a selection.
some choose to kill it
Confessions: The Past Never Dies
I see a lot of abandoned homes in the hinterlands. Way more than I should. Awnings fallen off. Gutters rotting. Roofs caving in. You can tell no one gives a damn about them. What, I wonder, condemned them to abandonment? Economics gone south? Bad family blood? No will? Foreclosures on places nobody wants? Not worth the money it'd take to bring them up to code?
rearview mirror
Almost Eternal
As I fast approach my Biblical threescore years and ten, I have no particularly sad feeling about entering my seventies or worrying about mortality. I certainly have much left undone and much to do, so I'm just planning on increasing my pace. After all, we'll all be gone too soon, as Mehitabel the alley cat with a sense of adventure in her morals used to tell Archie the poet, now reincarnated as a cockroach who could only type in lower case, in the old Don Marquis stories…
Sea Island Dune Abuse
It's almost pathetic, the Sea Island Beach Club setting up a playground in the dunes along the lines of "if we build it, they will come."
Then along comes James Holland on one of his morning inspection flights, takes pictures and circles what he judges to be clearly illicit intrusions and impositions on the dynamic dunes.
And Holland's got the statutes to prove his point:
a road runs through eufaula
A question of progress
Progress. What exactly is it? For some, it's a change in attitude, an enlightenment. For others, it's new technology. Still others look to business development. And sometimes, they all come together — roads can do that quicker than anything. And they can change how we view it as well.
Such is the case in Eufaula, Alabama, a quaint town once known as a major inland port on the Chattahoochee River.
we need a new icon
The Peace Symbol
When I think back to my years at the University of Georgia, three symbols come to mind. The university's iconic arch, the Georgia "G," and the peace symbol, adopted by hippies and Vietnam protesters. During my days at the University of Georgia, I'd see the peace symbol, the hippie sign, as some called it, all over Athens. People sprayed it on bridges and sidewalks, people wore it on T-shirts, and posters plastered it all over telephone poles. Yeah, give peace a chance.
duck and cover
If Something Happens…
If there's one thing that scares me to death, it's death.
There's other stuff that terrifies me too, such as going to sleep and waking up as a giant insect, or waking up Republican, but the visit by the Grim Reaper has always been The Big Magilla. The straight up truth is I'm not exactly thrilled none of us is going to live forever.
on the refrigerator
An American Tradition
The inventors of the components that make a refrigerator didn't mean to build a museum and art gallery, but they did. I bet you cover your refrigerator with photos, mementos, and a few magnets that include everything from pizza parlors to emergency numbers to call. By far, the most popular images, I'll wager, are those of loved ones, in particular, grandkids, and for many, pets. Consider the refrigerator a photo album, Rolodex, museum, and gallery all rolled into one…
back to wholeness
Conspicuous Gallantry
In Paul Fussell's book on WWI, The Great War And Modern Memory, a deep sense of irony pervades. A scholar of eighteenth-century English literature, he was heavily influenced by the satiric writings of Jonathan Swift and Samuel Johnson. During WWII, he served as a second lieutenant in the 103d Infantry Division where he picked up his "dark, ironical, flip view of war." In an article he wrote for the PBS program The War, A Ken Burns Film, he said: "The war made me a foot-soldier for the rest of my life and after any war foot-soldiers are touchy."
primal energy
The Inheritors
This week my wife Jody and I went to closing on the 5-acre meadow and woods that abuts our property in the Potomac Highlands of eastern West Virginia where we live. For many years it's been a plot of ground that my neighbor in the next development over has used as a buffer zone to protect his privacy. This arrangement was fine with me, since it served the same purpose for me.

Tenure: Education's Friend or Foe?
Having just completed a three-part series titled "An Educator's Lament" on the symptoms, causes and stakes of the demise of American education, I was planning to retire the keyboard for a few days. Then the news broke on Vergara v. California. Alas, I feel compelled to weigh in. Vergara v. California concerns teacher tenure — the granting of "permanent" teaching positions — in California's system of K-12 public education. On June 10, 2014, California Superior Court Judge Rolf M. Treu ruled in favor of the plaintiffs, who oppose California's tenure statutes, and against the California Teachers Association, which favors them.

Willing to love your LGBTQ neighbor as you love yourself?
Review of Playing By The Book by Chris Shirley. Magnus Books, Bronx, NY, 2014. 305 pages.
If you are willing to love your lgbtq neighbor as you love yourself, Playing By The Book will assist you, not so much with argument as with passion. The novel immerses the reader into the passions of Jake Powell during the summer between his junior and senior year in high school in Tarsus, Alabama.
educator's lament: part 3
Stakes of Our Educational Demise
"You have to be confused before you can reach a new level of understanding anything." — D. Herschbach (Harvard University chemist and Nobel laureate)
In the summer of 2007, I attended "Boot Camp for Profs" in Leadville, Colorado. For an entire week, a maverick team of educators from multiple disciplines — geology, chemistry, education, biology, and psychology among others — bombarded 30 college and university professors with the theory and practice of learning.
the old roads
Gem of the day
Way down in west central Georgia, in Meriwether County, there's tiny little unincorporated village called Imlac. I know something of unincorporated hamlets, as I hail from one myself, but Imlac is so small that the Census Bureau has no population data for it. It barely exists, but there is a sign on State Route 85 and it looks just like the one in my hometown, with the exception of the name. "IMLAC", it reads, and right beneath "unincorporated", which simply means it's not a city.
educator's lament: part 2
Causes of Our Educational Demise
"Education is not the filling of a pail but the lighting of a fire." — Wm. Butler Yeats
In the previous two posts — In Defense of Light and Magic and An Educator's Lament: Part I — I argued that education is 1) the guardian of liberty, 2) the cornerstone of democracy, and 3) under siege in America. Today, we'll delve into why. The primary culprits include neglect, austerity, anti-intellectual/anti-science attitudes, good intentions gone awry, and malevolence aforethought.
in the day
Look out Lord, here comes Al Clayton
Every odyssey has to begin someplace, and in this case it was Washington D.C. on June 16, 1967 at a special hearing of the U.S. Senate Subcommittee on Manpower, Employment and Poverty, the most prominent members of which were its chairman, Sen. Joseph S. Clark, and Sen. Robert F. Kennedy.
I 'd read a New York Times news story that this committee would be hearing from a team of doctors who had traveled though parts of Appalachia, Georgia, Alabama and, most notably, Mississippi, and returned to report on conditions in the South amounting to actual starvation.
the idea of memory
Ulysses Comes Home
I want to tell you about Floyd, but I think I might be able to best do it by first contrasting him with Walt Whitman and then by comparing him with Jim Corder, a university scholar who gave us a new appreciation in the 1980s and 1990s of language and the power of rhetoric.
In one of his own anonymous reviews of Leaves of Grass, Walt Whitman described himself as "one of the roughs" with a "face not refined or intellectual, but calm and wholesome — a face of an unaffected animal — a face that absorbs the sunshine and meets savage or gentleman on equal terms."
live theater
'Princess Cut' puts Knoxville's sex trafficking on stage
The theater long ago was laid waste by the gods of big entertainment. Now, when we think of acting, we think Hollywood, celebrities, an HBO series. When we think of the stage, it's Broadway musicals, or if "serious" theater, it's usually the work of famous dead playwrights being produced for the umpteenth time for high-priced tickets that put you in the upper seats.
Kerri Koczen and Danielle Roos had another idea.
stash patrol
You don't want to mess with Ginger
You don't want to mess with Ginger at Georgia Gwinnett College. She's well known to students, a bright and affable female chocolate Labrador three year old dog, and an integral part of the Department of Public Safety at the college, the only substance sniffing K-9 staff member.
Ginger is hard working, and has chalked up an impressive list of accomplishments in the more than two years she's been at the college. She has assisted in several dozen arrests for substances the students should not have at the college: marijuana, cocaine, methamphetamine…
educator's lament: part 1
Symptoms of Our Educational Demise
"A popular Government without popular information, or the means of acquiring it, is but a Prologue to a Farce or a Tragedy, or perhaps both. Knowledge will forever govern ignorance: And a people who mean to be their own Governors, must arm themselves with the power that knowledge gives." – James Madison
Education is the cornerstone of democracy. The writings of both Madison and Jefferson are chock full of admonitions that only a generally enlightened public can hold at bay the forces of tyranny.

Beach Walk
I walk my pit bull 'Dro (short for Pedro), on or near the beach nearly every morning. We usually access the beach at an inn whose parking lot, full these days, is to me something of an amusement park, what with all the bumper/window stickers and out-of-state license plates to be seen there: New York, Tennessee, Maryland, Ontario, Virginia, Texas, Indiana, Louisiana, Michigan, Ohio, Florida, North Carolina.
One Maryland license plate was especially evocative; it said simply RIPTREV. Love to know the story behind that one.

Pivot does Peabodys a good turn
A cable and online network called Pivot will be televising a condensed, impressionistic version of the May 19 Peabody Awards ceremony on Sunday, June 1, at 9 p.m. Less almost certainly will be more.
The Peabodys, based at UGA's Grady journalism school, have been on TV before, broadcast by PBS and A&E respectively, most recently in 2003. But in those instances, what viewers saw on their home screens was the full event, a parade of previously announced winners making acceptance speeches.
christian wrong
What Kind of Christianity is This?
In the past several decades, a major force has entered the American political arena under an explicitly Christian banner. I'm talking about the Christian Right, which has aligned itself with the Republican Party. Has this alliance advanced the values that Jesus taught?
Jesus advocated for the poor and the outcast, and castigated mostly the privileged and the mighty. Today's vociferous Christian political force supports the party that cuts programs to feed the hungry and to lift up the downtrodden, while protecting the interests of the fabulously wealthy.
life in the wild
Bedazzled By Delight
The awful thud against the window in the sunroom made Jody jump up and rush outside where she found the small Downy Woodpecker on the deck. As she has done previously, she picked him up gently and held him in her warm hands as he shivered from the collision. At first we didn't think he was going to make it, but he was able to move his head which told us our little dive bomber had not broken his neck. Living amidst the wooded hills of far eastern West Virginia with the Shenandoah Valley just over the ridge line of the Great North Mountain, we are daily observers of life in the wild.
In Defense of Light and Magic
Following an engineering degree and a stint in the Air Force, I taught high-school mathematics for three years, before eventually becoming a university mathematics professor. Why the change of direction, and why math? Nearly four decades after that sudden tack, a young woman came to my office requesting a letter of recommendation and answered these questions better than I could have. "Why do you want to teach math?" I asked…
off season football
Time and Bobby Freeman
I haven't exactly been an avid watcher of Super Bowls. But I did make it through some of this year's, and thought I saw clearly one phase of football giving way to another. Maybe Denver just had a bad game, but those two teams play five times, I don't like Denver's chances in any of the five. Peyton Manning, in the right landscape, was a great quarterback. He hasn't changed, but the landscape has: some new element has come into the game. The athleticism — the pace and nature of the game — have jumped to a higher level, college and pro. Football evolves like everything else.

Fun Facts about Sherman on the 150th Anniversary of his invasion of Georgia
Fact: Sherman's middle name came from the Shawnee war chief Tecumseh.
Fun Fact: Initially, Sherman's mother named him after the Ottawa war chief Pontiac, but then realized it made her son sound too much like an automobile.
Fact: Sherman was mentally ill shortly before the Civil War.
Fun Fact: Sherman was depressed because he didn't know what to do with his life. The firing on Fort Sumter fixed all that.

Picasso, 1881 - 1973
When Mozart was three, the story goes, he watched his father give his sister a piano lesson, after which he sat down and played it from memory. Sometimes genius shows itself early. There is a museum in Barcelona of Picasso's work. When he was only ten years he was painting small neighborhood scenes – a view of a road on a hill, some chickens... He was already doing several paintings a day, a pattern he maintained most of the rest of his 93 years. The paintings were amazingly competent.

Former AJC editor restores Talmadge Mansion in Telfair
Back in 1937 when Gene Talmadge was finishing his second two-year term as governor of Georgia, he took a big step. For Miss Mitt (his wife), he built a new home on U.S. Highway 341, between McRae and Lumber City, in his home county of Telfair. In today's world, this residence looks much like a Southern 5-4-and-a-door, with two-story white columns, red brick, and set about 100 yards back from the highway in a grove of pine trees. But it wasn't built in today's world, but constructed 77 years ago when most people in Telfair County probably didn't have running water in Read on →
Growing Up and Growing Old with Surge
This morning, my friend Lusy stopped by my office with a nasty cold and a warm, sixteen ounce can of Surge; I gladly hugged him. As he sat the Christmas-colored can of heavenly proportions on my office desk, I thought to myself, "There it is. My childhood is sitting on my desk." Waves of memories flooded my mind. I closed my eyes and remember frozen nights spent sipping Surge by the fireside even as the frost formed on our shivering backs. I recalled the punch drunk pleasure of all-night binge gaming sessions, playing Diablo II with now-lost friends and my seemi Read on →
If You Passed an Angel on the Street Today, Would You know It?
The light ahead was red, and no one was close behind, so I slowed to let the man who just darted across two lanes of traffic finish his dangerous dash to the wide concrete median strip on my left. It was a blustery day, with northwest winds biting harshly under the dense, dark clouds of a late fall cold front pouring into Georgia. All of which made this man's shorts, light windbreaker, ball cap, and open-heeled clogs seem woefully inadequate for the day upon us. Reaching the median, he nodded my way while lifting his left hand for a quick wave o Read on →

Spokane Portland & Seattle 700
Built: 1938 Manufacturer: Baldwin Locomotive Works, Philadelphia, PA
Length: 111' Weight 440 tons Drive Wheel: 77"
Horsepower: 5,000 Boiler Pressure: 260 psi Fuel: Oil
Donated to PDX: 1958 Volunteer Organization: Pacific Railroad Preservation Association
Built in 1938 as a 4-8-4 Northern Pacific Class A design, she is close to 111′ long, 10′ wide and almost 17′ tall. With locomotive and tender weighing almost 440 tons and a boiler pressure of 260 psi, her 77″ diameter drivers can apply 5,000 horsepower to the rails and exceed 80 mph. It's oil fired, and features design specified roller bearings throughout which was quite advanced for the era.
This beautiful example of the latter years of steam locomotive development pulled the famous Empire Builder until that train was dieselized in 1947. She continued to faithfully provide passenger service from Portland up the Columbia River Gorge to Spokane until 1956, and in 1958 the 700 was ultimately placed on permanent display at Oaks Park in SE Portland. Returned to operation in 1990, she is lovingly operated and maintained by the all-volunteer Pacific Railroad Preservation Association.
