The school lines are drawn
Preliminary redistricting map proposes closing 4 schools, moves a minimum of 1,536 students
It was arguably the largest attendance seen in recent memory at a meeting of the Fayette County Board of Education. An estimated 900 people attended the Jan. 28 meeting at Sams Auditorium to voice their opinions on the potential closure of three elementary schools and one middle school beginning in August.

The elementary school maps posted on the fcboe's website are different from the ones shown at the Januaey 28 meeting. When were they changed?
I couldn't be more proud of Samantha if she were my very own.
Many, many thanks to Samantha and her Mom for sharing her thoughts with all of us.
I dare say that she is one child who will be ready to face the world when she is grown.
I was at the meeting last Monday. In fact, Samantha is my daughter. What people don't know is that she was willing to go to war to keep her school open until she did all of her research...and it was a lot of research...hours a day over weeks. So for her to get up there, and say that she understood was something much bigger than anybody could know. She was horrified by the behavior of the "adults" at the meeting.
This is what she asked me to write here:
People keep taking the kids out of this. They say that they aren't but they are. This is going to happen. It needs to happen and anyone who has looked at the numbers knows that. No one child is more important than another regardless of money, race, disability, or ability. We are one county, one community. I'm sorry if your property values go down or you don't like how your tax money gets spent. That doesn't matter to the kids though. What people...adults need to realize is that if they want the kids to be okay and want to make this easy on us...stop telling us how much it's gonna suck. Help us get through it.
The time for fighting is over. It's time to focus on recovery. Parents get mad...and that's okay. But there comes a point to stop being mad and start making it okay. The kids are what is important. We weren't asked if we wanted our schools closed. Those people up there yelling and threatening aren't helping us. They are hurting us. I love my school. I'm gonna cry when it closes...probably a lot. The kids are the ones who have that right. I'm just asking the adults to be there for us and help us get through it. If you keep acting like this, it just...it hurts the kids....it's time to stop fighting and help us make it okay.
I'm sorry if this offends anybody but I'm 12. My little sister is 7. If it was her school, I would be telling her that it'll be okay. But like I said, I'm 12...I'm just glad my parents told me that it'll be okay.
You are a very gutsy little girl with a lot of insite. You are right, it is about the children. It... should... have ALWAYS been. The big people lost their way.
Noting that she has not received a raise in the years she has been with the school system, the bus driver said her salary is $942 per month, of which $665 goes for family healthcare benefits while another $107 goes for taxes. That leaves her with a take-home pay of approximately $169 per month.
Some people undoubtedly "use" the school system to secure healthcare benefits for family members, especially where some family members suffer from some kind of chronic condition that is very expensive to manage.
Paying $665 a month is a lot, but it covers more than one person. How much money does this bus driver cost the school system beyond her official salary? That's the key point for the taxpayers. Beyond healthcare benefits (which may be worth a lot more than the official premium for some people), there's the employer portion of Social Security taxes, workers' comp insurance, and most likely a pension of some sort.
Is it possible we are looking at an employee who does not realize and appreciate the value (and cost) of her fringe benefits?
shape of things to come.
Since bus drivers they are not considered full time employees, the district could elect not to provide healthcare and through the magic of the "Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act" (aka Obama Care) we could all pick up the tab.
I feel her plight but, those drawing a minimal salary will not welcome an economy that is affected by massive and unsustainable "guv" borrowing.

I guess you're saying that bus drivers are overpaid for what they do? Then why do we have a shortage of drivers? You want to run down there and get one of these highly paid positions? I wonder how much that bus driver that was shot in Alabama was being paid? I wonder if his family feels that he was overpaid? Don't think for one minute that Fayette drivers don't come up against irate parents from time to time. Mostly for reasons beyond the drivers control. At least we've had no gun play. (Yet) Are you aware that Fayette County drivers are the lowest paid in the Metro Atlanta area?
Is it possible we are looking at a loanarranger that does not have a clue about the value of this position?
This bus driver should be thankful she works for the FCBOE and has $169 left each month to provide food, shelter, and clothing to her family. She should offer up another 2% of her big salary so that less than 3% of the school population or 4% of the county can have their school buildings remain open.
I reviewed the posted redistricting maps and school capacities. The point that really sticks out is Peeples with a capacity of 860 and a population of 423 adjacent to Minter with a capacity of 840 and a population of 720. I do not see how this is justified especially when you look at the relatively large north-south transportation routes for both Minter and Harp. I do not have access to the geographic population data but I would expect the density for both these schools would be in the top two thirds of their respective district. It seems to me that the bottom third of these districts should feed into Peeples. This makes the school population and transportation more equitable.
No truer words have EVER been spoken!!!
The developers certainly did very well for themselves!!
However, they developed the rest of us right into the poor house. The former commissioners and the developers have practically destroyed Fayette County!!
I hope Scarbrough and the rest of the developers do take their business somewhere else!!
By the way, I just heard that the folks in Henry County aren't real pleased with Lee Hearn and Scott Bennett, either.
The child has more backbone than any that spoke.
Scarbrough gonna take his bussiness someplace else? Wow, I hardly know where to begin. If the developers hadn't decided they needed the road to no where to open up their properties, or the schools in the middle of the cowpastures (Rivers) to peddle their new subdivisons they never built....I doubt we would be n this mess. Unless he has sold it....he owns large tracts of land right around the school/s and would have gained $greatly.
If he makes so much money off deals in Fayette county and is that ungratefull for his millions he made off us....all I can say is don't let the door knob hit.
As far the sewer statements, I've never heard of the schools paying to run sewer to their own schools. The point is...we don't have enough kids for the schools we have due to overbuilding for developers that never built. There was a ton of speculation done by the previous 3/2 block vote on both the BOE and the County commisioners. The taxpayers lost. EVERYONE wants small schools for the little ones. No one gets it. The speculators took our CHOICE of smaller schools from us when all the overbuilding was done. The taxpayers and the BOE now have to pick up the pieces and pay the price for it. Not fair, but as someone put it...'the train has left the station' We have some good people who stepped forward to pick up the pieces when no one else would. Please help them do the job.
7th grader Samantha, you are a bright light to the future. You are so right. Make yourself a promise to keep your positive attitude and you will be able to accomplish more than most as you grow up. Your friends that you mention should feel the same way.
Is this developer who spoke the same one who just got every approval possible to build The Gates thru an annexation in a record amount of time? Your business life is so bad? A million dollars in taxes. As we all know, there surely is no hefty income or quality of life that has been had by paying so much in taxes. Such a problem, such a sacrifice. Cry me a river.
Samantha Frazier, I wish you were older because you show a hell of a lot more maturity and wisdom than a lot of our adults we elected to "lead" us.
Concur with Nuk & MLC cmts on Samantha--and shame on Brent Scarbrough with his threat to move--I say 'Start Packing Brent!
Your information reported in your article gives some very different capacity numbers than the FCBOE is reporting in the PDF file you attached. Might want to look into the discrepancies......BMMS has a capacity of 1475 & apparently has never been at 50% capacity. Not much notice of that in the past years by taxpayers....
BMMS capacity was changed by the State just recently to 1475. Until then, the capacity was in fact just shy of 1200. So, Ben was more right than wrong; since it opened, BMMS has had a population of just more than half capacity..
Has this woman actually been in a Fayette County school or talked to the staff? I am a department chair, I do not, nor have I ever, taught one less class than anyone else. I have the same class load plus the extra duties. I am paid an extra pittance for this which keeps getting smaller each year.
We can not simply "expand" gifted. Gifted students are supposed to be the top 5 to 10% of the population. Fayette has many children who are "fixin' to be gifted" - not sure how they got in as they do not meet the criteria. These children defeat the purpose of gifted classes when their parents demand extended time and tutoring. Please, for the sake of the truly gifted children, don't dilute these classes.
Mary Kay, you should be ashamed of yourself for making promises you can't keep in order to be elected.
Samantha, your maturity is astounding! Many adults should pay attention to your common sense. This county is in no financial position to pander to sentimentality and special interests.
And school board members, this teacher can't afford another pay cut and still pay my mortgage. Take more money from me and you'll be minus a hard-working teacher and plus another empty house with no one paying property taxes.
You are raising a fine young lady and you should be proud.
She has shown wisdom beyond her years.
Only wish the adults would have realized that Mary Kay is not the right person for the job. Her pandering to the good people losing their schools only reinforces what many felt during elections. She may be a good educator, but she lacks the fiscal common sense to manage our tax dollars. I predict it now, should she make it thru her term, her next election platform will read, "I voted against the closing of schools". It's all a political game.
God knows you need one to be your public face and voice. You need to stay home and out of these meetings. What does an elementary school have to do with where you park your bulldozer? Is there a business reason for what you said or were you just trying to intimidate. If it is the latter, don't let the door hit you on the way out.

Paul Bettany Gossip
Paul Bettany gossip, latest news, photos, and video.
The Tourist 2: Mortdecai
After Johnny Depp's Mortdecai got kicked to February 2015, it was clear that it was not going to be a good movie. But just how not-good it will be was a mystery, at least until yesterday when the first trailer was released. We now have some idea of how not-good Mortdecai will be and the answer is "very, very, VERY not-good". Full Story
Paul directs Jennifer and Anthony
Bauer, Christopher Peterson/ Splash
There are so many things I love about this photo set. It's Paul Bettany directing a film called Shelter from a screenplay that he wrote, starring his wife Jennifer Connelly. We don't see enough of Connelly. She's lovely. Bettany was supposed to star in Masters Of Sex, which is premiering this coming weekend and Duana and I can't wait. Full Story
How much would LiLo pay…
To be the dude in between Leonardo DiCaprio and Tom Hardy courtside at the Laker game last night? What would she thief in exchange for it? Leo and Tom had a little Inception reunion while watching Los Angeles lose a close one at the buzzer to the San Antonio Spurs. It was a better effort than they've put up lately…but for a while now they haven't been able to bring their best against the better teams in the league, not even with Leo's golden touch? Maybe Leo's golden touch doesn't work until the playoffs. Full Story
Jennifer Connelly shoe porn
Arriving at Letterman today likely to promote Creation about Charles Darwin. Connelly plays Darwin's wife and her real life husband Paul Bettany as the man himself. The film opens January 22nd. I always forget she won an Oscar. Because theirs is a low key life. They stay off the scene, they work hard, they don't famewhore unnecessarily, and they try to keep their sh-t private. Full Story
Opening Creation
Jennifer Connelly looks beautiful IN SPITE of that dress. Jacek loves it of course because of the see-through breasts. This is the problem. It's not just that it isn't photographing with the light, it's also that it's not a particularly great fit. The material clings awkwardly around her chest, looks cheap. Full Story

The year 1914 was filled with really important events, like World War I and Charlie Chaplin's first big screen appearance, peppered with other- only arguably important- things like the creation of Mother's Day and the last known passenger pigeon dying at the Cincinnati Zoo. She was named Martha.
That's Martha. Or her cousin. Or something.
Per Wikipedia, this all is. I don't, you know, remember that.
That year, the Phillies had a bit of dismal season, finishing at 74-80, 20.5 games out of first place. The Boston Braves (Boston Braves? What? So. Weird.) won it all at 94-59, for whatever it's worth.
Them Phills also had a streak of 19 solo home runs, one that no one was ever able to match, though I'm sure some teams have tried (lookin' at you, Pirates and your 17 straight losing seasons).
That is, until tonight! Pablo Sandoval did the honors with a first inning solo shot. Now I don't want him to get the wrong idea, seeing as I really do like it when he hits homers, but that is really, really, genuinely terrible. I don't think I'm overreacting here. When I said snoozing with RISP in the past, I think I should have said dead with RISP. Runners in any position! Even if they're on first base, that counts! You know that, right, Giants? Oh, you didn't. No wonder. All is forgiven, then. Get to it next game. Please. And thank you.
And if you want to make some basically classless and totally snarky comments about the Marlins stadium, I actually wouldn't mind that. I mean, seems to be working for CJ.
Diamond Girl
p.s. It very literally (okay, not literally literally, but you know what I mean) breaks my heart to hear Cain saying "it was my fault". Six innings, two runs isn't brilliance or anything but with any sort of offense that's a totally fine outing.

Pandorum (2009), directed by Christian Alvart
Someone brought this up on another site. It looked interesting so I watched it this weekend.
It is an entertaining and (slightly) suspenseful movie. I can't say that there is anything at all original about it, as it follows a pretty tried-and-true methodology:
- Take a group of strangers
- Trap them in an unfriendly environment
- Make it so that things are not as they appear
- Have something prey upon them
- Make them fight for survival (and learn to trust one another in the process)
- Give them a task or goal to accomplish, and make sure it is a race against the clock
- Kill off a bunch of them in the process
- And have a positive ending where they all live happily ever after
Yeah, well. We've all seen it. Been there, done that. Nonetheless, Pandorum is a well done movie and an entertaining two hours. There are several scenes, especially at the beginning, that are somewhat intense, and the sets and special effects are very well done, too.
Check it out. It's a lot better than many movies of the same genre.

I thought it was kind of a silly, and a rehashing of Alien, but found it entertaining for the most part.
It's available for streaming on Netflix.

The Global Intelligence Files
On Monday February 27th, 2012, WikiLeaks began publishing The Global Intelligence Files, over five million e-mails from the Texas headquartered "global intelligence" company Stratfor. The e-mails date between July 2004 and late December 2011. They reveal the inner workings of a company that fronts as an intelligence publisher, but provides confidential intelligence services to large corporations, such as Bhopal's Dow Chemical Co., Lockheed Martin, Northrop Grumman, Raytheon and government agencies, including the US Department of Homeland Security, the US Marines and the US Defence Intelligence Agency. The emails show Stratfor's web of informers, pay-off structure, payment laundering techniques and psychological methods.

On Wednesday, the U.S. President Barack Obama has announced the beginnings
of what is a withdrawal from Afghanistan. (LINK:
Day after the announcement, European allies lined up to congratulate the
U.S. President on his decision and to quickly reaffirm that they would be
following along similar -- if not shorter -- timetables. Obama's speech
elicited a European-wide sigh of relief, politically the Afghanistan
mission has been unpopular across the continent and governments lined up
to capitalize on the opportunity of announcing the end of involvement in
the conflict that most European publics oppose.
However, with NATO and its Western allies looking to draw down operations
in Afghanistan, the alliance faces an uncertain future. Bottom line is
that NATO lacks strategic concept.
(http://www.stratfor.com/weekly/20101011_natos_lack_strategic_concept) It
is a military alliance without a coherent vision of an external threat.
Its members have disparate national security interest calculations and act
accordingly. As the most recent example, France has no compunction about
selling an advanced helicopter carrier to Russia, even though its Central
European NATO allies consider the sale a national security threat.
For NATO, Afghanistan has for the last ten years been effectively a
rallying point for the alliance. NATO officials made it a point in all
communications -- both public and private -- to emphasize just how
important the war was for the alliance. For all its political, military
problems and Alliance member bickering, the ISAF mission to Afghanistan
was an operation that put a lot of countries into the battlefield with
relative success. Whenever NATO officials spoke of the future of the
Alliance, you could see genuine relief when they talked about the ongoing
operations in Afghanistan. The military operations in Afghanistan were a
relief because they were a reaffirmation that the Alliance still had a
functioning military component to it. That it wasn't just a bureaucratic
talking shop that occasionally put on military exercises and obsesses
about threats such as "cyber" and "energy" security, real security
concerns but ones that NATO has only created new layers of bureaucracy
for, rather than setting up capable mechanisms to deal with them.
Afghanistan allowed NATO members to develop operationally effective
command, control and intelligence cooperation, establish a common esprit
de corps and develop political relationships at the ministry of defense
levels as well as to gain operational experience with coordinating
operations. Afghanistan was NATO's war and thus helped reinforce the
legitimacy of the Alliance itself.
The problem now is that once Afghanistan is over, what does NATO as an
organization have to look forward to? If the most recent military
operation, Libya, is any guide then not much. Even staunch NATO allies,
such as Poland and other Central Europeans who have participated
enthusiastically in Afghanistan, have chosen to ignore Libya, moodily
protesting the continuous focus of NATO resources away from Europe.
Afghanistan may have been the last major military engagement that NATO
conducted in unison.
This does not spell the end of NATO. European institutions do not
dissolve, they perpetuate their existence. NATO may very well continue to
set up ad-hoc military interventions akin to the ongoing operation in
Libya where participation is a la carte. It can also continue to provide
considerable additional resources by being a force multiplier both in
terms of military resources and also international legitimacy. It can
also take on nebulous security related projects (piracy, cybercrime,
energy security) whose only purpose may be to perpetuate the bureaucracy.
Afterall, someone has to populate its new $1.4 billion headquarters
currently under construction.
Post-Afghanistan, however, NATO officials will no longer have anything
concrete to point to in their speeches as evidence that NATO is truly a
military alliance. It will therefore be far more difficult to gloss over
the fact that NATO member states do not share the same threat perception
in the 21st Century. At that point, it may be more difficult to ignore
that NATO member states simply don't have all that much in common in terms
of national security interests anymore.

Did anyone figure out what happened to all the missing pages in the gallery? I think there are only 4-5 of my pages showing.
Only my new posts in the gallery are showing.
I think Debra is still working on it... :-/
This issue is still being researched and the verdict isn't in yet... not looking good though
Sad....but greatful the site is back up and running!
We should all have our files on our computers we can repost if need be!
This would be really sad if it's lost. I kinda depend on the gallery to show me the layouts I made during a particular time. Of course, they're all backed up, but still.... Other sites have had a problem and lost their whole galleries when they migrated to a new server or system. But I love my GDS gallery, and don't want it to be gone!
It's funny, my pages that are showing are not the newest, except for the one I posted last night, but are from different times. For sure not from when I first started.
Yes I have them all backed up but like Dona, I like coming here to look at the differences from one time to another.
:( Oh well... I am glad I have them all!
I'm with you Dona... mine are gone all the way to 2008.
I received a status update from the programmer this morning so let's not give up all hope yet:
"gallery support is very slow, but they have asked for back end access and are looking into it. We have to be patient."
Not giving up hope yet

Travel Innovation and Technology Trends: 2013 and Beyond
Thanks to new technologies that can sift through the practically limitless amounts of data in cyberspace, shrewd use of such data will be the key factor in determining which travel companies succeed or fail in the years to come. Companies hoping to stay competitive also need to accommodate travelers with device-agnostic access to information, address specific traveler needs with targeted offers, and take advantage of cloud computing to streamline their own business operations.

U.S. Consumer Travel Report Fifth Edition
While the U.S. economy showed clear signs of recovery in 2012, there were enough mixed signals to make vacation decisions difficult for many Americans. Through a longitudinal analysis, Phocuswright's U.S. Consumer Travel Report Fifth Edition examines traveler behavior along each step of the travel planning process - from the media travelers rely on to make destination and product decisions, to the channels they use to book and share their trip experiences. Key metrics include frequency and duration of trips, travel expenditure and travel component purchases, and travel intentions for the coming year.

U.S. Mobile Travel Report: Market Sizing and Consumer Trends
Nearly two thirds of U.S. online travelers now own a smartphone, one third own a tablet and nearly a fourth own both. Rapid adoption of mobile devices among travelers is impacting every phase of the travel process, and mobile is becoming the new battleground for travel companies seeking to grow market share. This report provides a detailed assessment of the U.S. mobile travel market, including consumer behavior trends, mobile market sizing and projections for key travel segments.

Traveler Technology Survey 2012
Until recently, travel companies' online strategies could be comfortably confined to the desktop web.

St. Louis, MO (SportsNetwork.com) - The St. Louis Blues placed forward Vladimir Sobotka on injured reserve with a left leg injury.
He suffered the injury late in the third period of Friday's 3-1 loss to Carolina after crashing into the boards.
The 26-year-old was slated to represent the Czech Republic in the Olympics, but will now miss the Games and be re-evaluated in four weeks.
Sobotka has posted seven goals and 18 assists in 46 games this season for the Blues.


text: Why are Oakley HDPolarized snow goggles the choice of Olympic gold medal skiers and snowboarders? Because snow brings out the worst in glare, reflecting up to 90% of the sun's brightness off the powder and right at your eyes. Other polarized snow goggles may take a half-hearted shot at blocking that harsh glare, but Oakley polarized goggles knock it down without compromising your crystal clear view of the mountain.

Some suburban schools close in anticipation of winter storm
SUN-TIMES MEDIA and ASSOCIATED PRESS February 21, 2013 11:34AM
Article Extras
Related Stories
Updated: February 23, 2013 10:22AM
Schools in northern Kane County and parts of McHenry County announced Thursday night they will be closed Friday in anticipation of a winter storm that is expected to drop up to 6 inches of snow across the Chicago area.
For a complete listing, click on the emergency school closings link below.
The National Weather Service issued a winter weather advisory from 9 p.m. Thursday and until 6 p.m. Friday with the possibilty of 3 to 6 inches of snow that will change over to and possible mix with light freezing drizzle Friday morning.
There could be a period of heavy snow with fall rates of an inch per hour possible late Thursday evening into the overnight hours with possible wind gusts of 25 to 30 mph that may cause blowing snow and reduced visibility, the service warns.
The storm has already socked parts fof the Midwest with blinding snow, at times accompanied by thunder and lightning, bombarding much of the nation's midsection Thursday, causing whiteout conditions, making major roadways all but impassable and shutting down schools and state legislatures.
Kansas was the epicenter of the winter storm, with parts of Wichita buried under 14 inches of powdery snow, but winter storm warnings stretched eastern Colorado through Illinois. Freezing rain and sleet were forecast for southern Missouri, southern Illinois and Arkansas. St. Louis was expected to get all of the above — a treacherous mix of snow, sleet and freezing rain.
Topeka got 3 inches of snow in one 30-minute period, leaving medical center worker Jennifer Carlock to dread the drive home.
"It came on fast," Carlock said as she shoveled around her car. "We're going to test out traction control on the way home."
Snow totals passed the foot mark in many places: Monarch Pass, Colo., had 17 1/2 inches, Hutchinson, Kan., 14 inches and Wichita, Kan., 13 inches. A few places in far northern Oklahoma saw between 10 to 13 1/2 inches of snow. The National Weather Service said up to 18 inches of snow were possible in central Kansas.
Most schools in Kansas and Missouri, and many in neighboring states, were closed. Legislatures shut down early in Kansas, Missouri, Arkansas, Nebraska and Iowa.
By midmorning Thursday, the snowfall was so heavy that Kansas City International Airport shut down. About 90 flights were also cancelled at Lambert Airport in St. Louis.
"Thundersnow" accompanied the winter storm in parts of Kansas and Missouri, which National Weather Service meteorologist Scott Truett said is the result of an unstable air mass, much like a thunderstorm.
"Instead of pouring rain, it's pouring snow," Truett said. And pouring was a sound description, with snow falling at a rate of 1 1/2 to 2 inches per hour in some spots.
While heavy in nature, the snow itself is powdery, said weather service meteorologist Suzanna Sortin. She said the Wichita area had received between 11 and 13 inches of snow by midmorning, and places like Salina, Russell and Great Bend were expected to get up to 18 inches of snow.
The St. Louis region prepared with some uncertainty. Depending on the temperature and the trajectory of the storm, St. Louis could get snow, freezing rain, ice, sleet or all or some of the above. Crews were hoping to spread enough salt to keep at least the major roadways moving.

First Known Use of PAIN
noun (Concise Encyclopedia)Physical suffering associated with a bodily disorder (such as a disease or injury) and accompanied by mental or emotional distress. Pain, in its simplest form, is a warning mechanism that helps protect an organism by influencing it to withdraw from harmful stimuli (such as a pinprick). In its more complex form, such as in the case of a chronic condition accompanied by depression or anxiety, it can be difficult to isolate and treat. Pain receptors, found in the skin and other tissues, are nerve fibres that react to mechanical, thermal, and chemical stimuli. Pain impulses enter the spinal cord and are transmitted to the brain stem and thalamus. The perception of pain is highly variable among individuals; it is influenced by previous experiences, cultural attitudes (including gender stereotypes), and genetic makeup. Medication, rest, and emotional support are the standard treatments. The most potent pain-relieving drugs are opium and morphine, followed by less-addictive substances and non-narcotic analgesics such as aspirin and ibuprofen.

Saving seeds in the bank for future use
Conserving seeds through Kew's Millennium Seed Bank Partnership provides options for human innovation, adaptation and resilience to cope with current and future environmental threats.
The seeds we conserve are increasingly used for research into food, agriculture, forestry, health and eco-system repair. The reintroduction of locally appropriate wild plant species will become more and more important as the effects of climate change and other threats become more marked. Kew and other botanic gardens worldwide are uniquely placed to enable these efforts.

2009 CDs by New Orleans artists will be the focus of the next two Tuesday New Orleans Music Shows. Here's my listing of the top 11 CDS. My top 11 CDs by 2009 New Orleans artists listed alphabetically Notes: Top airplay was Tom McDermott's followed closely by Luther Kent's and the New Orleans Nightcrawlers. Jimmy Carpenter's CD came out in Dec of '08 and counts as a 2009 release in my poll.
Story by Sharon Armstrong. Photographs courtesy of Legacy.
The Christmas season in New Orleans might be full of holy nights, but they will be far from silent if Irish music group Legacy has anything to do with it.
The diet and exercise video you need from the Firesign Theatre:
If you are a regular listener to my "Sittin' At The Crossroad" show then you most certainly know Big Daddy O' (Owen Tufts). Recent O' was hit hard with blood clots in his lungs. He had clot in all five lobes. He spent the better part of a week in Loly Kemp Hospital (Charity) in Independence, LA. He got out last week and he is recovering nicely, but still a little short of breath.
It's time for my at least 25th annual Food Show. So on Tuesday the 24th, all of the songs will be about food or have a type of food in the title. It's my way of ringing in the holiday season so don't tune in hungry.

Reviewed by Automobile Magazine on 12/1/2005
We pop the hood of the SLK, take off the plastic cover, and inspect the ultimate in artificial aspiration: a small turbo on the left, a small turbo on the right, and a big turbo right in the middle of the 282-hp, 72-degree V-6. The SL diesel, on the other hand, makes do with only two turbos for its 4.0-liter V-8.
Push the SL400's shift lever into first gear, switch off ESP, hold the brakes with your left foot, and lay on about 1000 revs. When the traffic signal turns green, the 311-hp SL400 peels rubber with an even greater vengeance than the 500-hp, supercharged, 5.5-liter SL55 AMG. With the help of 539 lb-ft of torque, the diesel-engined SL storms from 0 to 60 mph in 5.8 seconds, putting it within about a second of the V-12 SL600 and the SL55 AMG. The SLK Triturbo does even better than that, eclipsing its big brother by an incredible 0.5 second. Both roadsters return sensational combined fuel economy of 37 mpg.
However, on-off idle clatter, rough full-load combustion, and occasionally brutal accelerator tip-in and tip-out prove that diesels still are not perfect. Yet these engines perform remarkably well, even under the hoods of two high-performance sports cars.
There are no plans to bring either diesel roadster here, but we will get Mercedes' new, 3.0-liter, single-turbo V-6 diesel-producing 221 hp and 376 lb-ft-in the ML320 CDI next summer and the E320 CDI next fall, with an R320 CDI possibly to follow.
Engine: (SLK) Tri-turbocharged 3.2L diesel V-6, 282 hp, 465 lb-ft; (SL) Twin-turbocharged 4.0L diesel V-8, 311 hp, 539 lb-ftDrive: Rear-wheel

Made a comment on the 11/17 inre: Clint in an edge video being on a Friday update, but didn't comment on the vid. So going back and viewing it, it was a good video. As all of the edge videos usually are.
Clint is a bundle of cuteness. God, I'm so jealous of Bryan, what a job he has.
And to Alphalaw inre: Zack's scruffy beard, true he's got a handsome face, but the beard IMO just makes me want him all the more. A different level of sexiness. Looks more like a young man, than just a young dude. He exudes hotness to a new high.

In a few sentences: There were three runs on thirteen hits. Beltran got hurt. Lincecum got hurt. I wore a coat and boots at the beach in August.
Now yes, that sounds like a bit of a train wreck, but take heart because it wasn't! It was a win against the Phillies and a much needed one at that. And I like cold beaches. In case you were worrying.
We got two new Offense Saviors in the form of four hits from Kepp (whose name I've given up on trying to spell, he's just Kepp from now on) and then there was Stewart with the RBI single in the fourth inning to put the Giants on the board. In case I've failed to mention it before, I love this guy to pieces. I really do. He is on my list of Top 3 Favorite Giants.
Another interesting fact? Lincecum is also now 5-0 in starts against Oswalt. While that's nice, I'm have plenty of conspiracy theories about why they face each other so much. I need Ian from National Treasure to fund my investigation on the schedule makers. As long as he, eh, promises not to try and kill me.
And after the game, the good news came that Beltran is probably alright. And Timmy is made of rubber or elastic or something else totally invincible so of course he's alright. (When I say "of course", I am leaving aside my utter panic at hearing of him being hit by that bat. "Of course" in retrospect.)
The reality was that the game avoided the sweep but we're still in a pretty awful stretch here. But winning streaks start with just one win and I am totally prepared to believe that the next series is going to be brighter on our end. Amazingly enough, the Giants are still ahead of Arizona (I feel like I say that a lot, somehow) and the schedule just gets easier from here on out for a while. Starting tonight, with the Pirates are on a 10 game losing streak. As much as I feel for the Pirates and the city of Pittsburgh right now my empathy for them seriously lessened when they traded Joe Martinez to the Indians for cash considerations. Whatever "cash considerations" actually means, I am fine with the Giants elongating that streak a little.
Now that they've gotten my blessing, I'm sure they'll go with it. I need some salty popcorn and a whole lot of baby carrots to get me through this. Who wants to go the grocery store for me?
Diamond Girl
p.s. Baseball is a much better sport than jousting, in case there was any doubt about that. I watched A Knight's Tale last night. And my doubt was eliminated.

Comments about Easter Candy:
Love the candies. Just as I remember them from my youth. However, $7.99 for only 4 ounces is a bit much. I misread the text in the catalog - thought the package was for 8 ounces.

This candy takes me back to my childhood

It doesn't have to be a special holiday to like this candy treat. Use flowers they're enjoyed all year.
Pretty, but thats about it
By jma123
from chicago
I bought these for my mom and myself and we both agreed that they were disappointing. They were packaged nicely in a box with each piece of candy in its own pocket. There were only about 10 or 12 pieces of candy. About half of them were a strong mint flavor which was less preferable than the fruit or more delecate flavors. They were just way too sweet and sugary.
everything i had hoped it would be

Taking it Easy
With whitewashed walls and a place to lounge in every room, style icon Inès de la Fressange fashions a faded house in the South of France into the ultimate getaway
By Elle Decor Staff
Inès de la Fressange has not only a gift for spicing up everything she wears, but an eye for finding just the right objects to bring the rooms of her home in Tarascon, France, to vivid life. In this picturesque corner of Provence, the French model and perennial style icon trades her busy Parisian schedule for relaxing with family and friends. I rented a house in the area for many years, and my attachment to the countryside was so strong that I got married there, de la Fressange explains. But when that property was sold, she began the search for a house of her own. As in the Buddhist saying, I found it on the other side of the same hill, she says.
The building itself, at the end of a stone path, was nothing special. So de la Fressange called in Marcelo Joulia, an Argentina-born, Paris-based architect known for creating spare, industrial-chic spaces. Joulia knocked down some walls, simplified the traffic flow, and whitewashed everything.
During the hottest hours of the day, guests can repair to any of the many sofas and daybeds throughout the house. The living room even has a big bed. It was meant for the bedroom, de la Fressange says, but we couldnt get it up the stairs, so we left it there.

- Larkspur Ferry at 'crossroads:' Ridership outgrowing parking
Golden Gate Ferry officials are rolling out the red carpet to San Francisco, offering free rides to anyone who wants to jump on a midday boat at the city's ferry terminal and ride to Marin to shop, bike or hike.
The Larkspur Ferry Terminal buzzes with activity during the commute hours, but in the middle of the day it is a virtual ghost town despite several arrivals and departures of relatively empty boats.
During the work week, 26 roundtrip commute trips carry about 4,800 riders, the bulk of the service, while 16 midday boats carry roughly 1,100 riders.
With plenty of open seats, ferry officials are trying to get more people on those midday boats by offering the free rides from San Francisco to Marin and back through the end of the month.
"We are looking for ways to increase that midday ridership," said Mary Currie, ferry spokeswoman. "This is a good way for people to come and check out Marin in the middle of the day."
The free tickets can be downloaded on the Golden Gate Bridge district's website: www.goldengate.org/MCMPromo/index.php. A free ticket back to San Francisco can be obtained from any retailer at the Marin Country Mart at Larkspur Landing across the street from the Larkspur Ferry Terminal. Bicycles are welcome on the ferry so bikers can continue on to visit the area's nearby trails and parklands.
"There has been a lot of growth in San Francisco near the ferry terminal there and it is a segment we want to tap into," said Denis Mulligan, the bridge district's general manager. "It also introduces them to Marin. People can even bring a bike and trek to Mount Tam."
The owner of the Marin Country Mart, James Rosenfield of Ross, said the promotion has gone well so far.
"It's an interesting promotion, that's for sure," Rosenfield said. "We are hearing nice things about people who are coming in. The boat ride is fun, it's just 25 minutes and it gets you into a whole different space. We feel we are becoming a destination."
The San Francisco-to-Larkspur free rides are valid through weekday departures between 8:30 a.m. and 3 p.m., as well as one weekend departure at 12:40 p.m. Larkspur-to-San Francisco weekday free departures are between 10:10 a.m. and 8:50 p.m., along with the 4:45 p.m. weekend ferry.
The quiet midday activity is in stark contrast to the commute hours, when the ferries and parking lot in Larkspur is full. Ferry officials are expected to begin charging up to $5 beginning in January to park there. The lot's stall spaces have been numbered in anticipation of a fee system. Parking is now free.
Free shuttle service from the Ross Valley will be rolled out next month to take pressure off the terminal's lot.

The Global Intelligence Files
On Monday February 27th, 2012, WikiLeaks began publishing The Global Intelligence Files, over five million e-mails from the Texas headquartered "global intelligence" company Stratfor. The e-mails date between July 2004 and late December 2011. They reveal the inner workings of a company that fronts as an intelligence publisher, but provides confidential intelligence services to large corporations, such as Bhopal's Dow Chemical Co., Lockheed Martin, Northrop Grumman, Raytheon and government agencies, including the US Department of Homeland Security, the US Marines and the US Defence Intelligence Agency. The emails show Stratfor's web of informers, pay-off structure, payment laundering techniques and psychological methods.

Does anybody know of a lightweight bicycle anti-theft alarm that could be used to supplement a cable lock? The alarm could be made up of a small-gage cable that locks into an alarm unit, and would wrap around part of the stationary object to which the bicycle is cabled. The combination of cable lock plus alarm could be a viable alternative to carrying a heavy U-type lock, for example (which I never carry because of the weight). The main use (for me) would be parking my bicycle downtown, where there are lots of people out and about. asked Aug 03 '11 at 13:26 |
Two good options here: http://www.easylocks.co.uk/lock-alarm-maxi-cable-alarm-alarms-p-3416.html http://www.chainreactioncycles.com/Models.aspx?ModelID=10868 I've used the top one for a number of long distance bike tours successfully. I think it's gone off once accidentally in the middle of the night but that's it! linkanswered Jan 19 '12 at 09:24 |
There are some inexpensive vibration-activated alarms (along with others) on Amazon here: linkanswered Apr 13 '14 at 02:24 |

The Human Services major prepares students to work with children, adolescents and adults within a variety of settings. The major emphasizes the interrelationships among individual growth and development, family structure, and the larger social setting. Students become familiar with the history of the helping professions, with various approaches to the development of social policy and with the structure of the social service system in the United States.
Human Services majors graduate with a Bachelor of Arts in Human Services. The program prepares them to work in direct service or administrative support in the not-for-profit, public and private sectors.
Graduates may take positions in such areas as child welfare agencies, health care, community advocacy, group residences, and recreational programs. Human Services majors interested in professional study may enter graduate programs such as social work, psychology, counseling, public administration, criminal justice and arts therapy.
Undergraduate students in Human Services are also provided the opportunity to further develop research interests by working with the Center on Aging and Policy and/or the Center on Adolescent Research and Development at the Mount.
Students interested in Social Work may wish to pursue a joint five-year program that leads to a BA in Human Services from Mount Saint Mary College, and an MSW from Fordham University's Graduate School of Social Services.
In this 3 + 2 program, students spend the first three years at the Mount taking a combination of liberal arts courses designed to fulfill the general education requirement for a bachelor's degree and courses which fulfill the major requirements in Human Services, while at the same time establishing eligibility for admission to the MSW program at Fordham. Students receive a bachelor's degree from Mount Saint Mary College after the completion of their first year of study at Fordham.
Eligibility criteria: To be eligible for admission into the MSW program at Fordham, students must complete 88 credits by the end of their sixth semester with a minimum of a 3.0 grade point average. These 88 credits must include all required core courses and the following human services courses: SW1030, SOC1010, PSY1010, HSR2110, HSR2250, HSR2510, SOC2410, and three major electives (including a diversity elective). Students should discuss other recommended courses with the program's advisor.
Application procedures: Students submit an application in their 6th semester, which will be reviewed at Mount Saint Mary College by the Social Work Advisory Committee. If the committee recommends acceptance into the program, the Fordham University School of Social Services will then make a final decision on the application.
This accelerated program is competitive and there are a limited number of positions of entry into the professional phase of this program at Fordham. Students who do not gain admission to the program during their third year may remain at the Mount and complete the requirements for their BA degree. These students may apply to Fordham or other MSW programs for admission after completing the BA degree.
The career outlook for individuals in the areas of human services and social work is one of growth and opportunity.

Preparations for the removal of the ark. (1-24) The removal of the ark. (25-29)
Verses 1-24 Wise and good men may be guilty of oversights, which they will correct, as soon as they are aware of them. David does not try to justify what had been done amiss, nor to lay the blame on others; but he owns himself guilty, with others, of not seeking God in due order
Verses 25-29 It is good to notice the assistance of Divine Providence, even in things which fall within the compass of our natural powers; if God did not help us, we could not stir a step. If we do our religious duties in any degree aright, we must own it was God that helped us; had we been left to ourselves, we should have been guilty of some fatal errors. And every thing in which we engage, must be done in dependence on the mercy of God through the sacrifice of the Redeemer.
1 Chronicles 15:1-24 . DAVID BRINGS THE ARK FROM OBEDEDOM.
1. David made him houses in the city of David--Through the liberality of his Tyrian ally ( 1 Chronicles 14:1 ), David was enabled to erect not only a palace for himself, but to furnish suitable accommodation for his numerous family. Where polygamy prevails, each wife has a separate house or suite of apartments for herself and children.
prepared a place for the ark of God, and pitched for it a tent--that is, made an entirely new one upon the model of the former. The old tabernacle, which Moses had constructed in the wilderness and which had hitherto served the purpose of a sacred covering, was to be left at Gibeon, either because of the unwillingness of the inhabitants to part with such a venerable relic, or because there was no use for it in Jerusalem, where a more solid and sumptuous edifice was contemplated. If it appear surprising that David "made him houses" before he prepared this new tabernacle, it should be remembered that he had received no divine intimation respecting such a work.
2. Then David said, None ought to carry the ark of God but the Levites--After the lapse of three months ( 1 Chronicles 13:14 ) the purpose of transporting the ark to Jerusalem was resumed. Time and reflection had led to a discovery of the cause of the painful catastrophe that marred the first attempt. In preparing for the solemn procession that was now to usher the sacred symbol into its resting-place, David took special care that the carriage should be regulated in strict conformity to the law ( Numbers 4:5 Numbers 4:15 , 7:9 , 10:17 ).
3. David gathered all Israel together--Some are of opinion that this was done on one of the three great festivals, but at whatever time the ceremonial took place, it was of great importance to summon a general convocation of the people, many of whom, from the long-continued disorders of the kingdom, might have had little or no opportunity of knowing anything of the ark, which had been allowed to remain so long in obscurity and neglect.
4. David assembled the children of Aaron, and the Levites--The children of Aaron were the two priests ( 1 Chronicles 15:11 ), Zadok and Abiathar, heads of the two priestly houses of Eleazar and Ithamar, and colleagues in the high priesthood ( 2 Samuel 20:25 ). The Levites were the chiefs of their father's house ( 1 Chronicles 15:12 ); four belonging to the Kohathite branch, on whose shoulders the ark was to be borne; namely, Uriel, Shemaiah--descended from Elizaphan or Elzaphan--( Exodus 6:22 ), Hebron ( Exodus 6:18 , 1 Chronicles 6:2 ), and Amminadab from Uzziel ( Exodus 6:22 ).
12. sanctify yourselves--This special sanctification, which was required on all grave and important occasions, consisted in observing the strictest abstinence, as well as cleanliness, both in person and Exodus 19:10 Exodus 19:15 ); and in the neglect of these rules no step could have been taken ( 2 Chronicles 30:3 ).
16-24. David spake to the chief of the Levites to appoint . . . the singers with instruments--These eminent Levites were instructed to train the musicians and singers who were under them, for the solemn procession. The performers were ranged in three choirs or bands, and the names of the principal leaders are given ( 1 Chronicles 15:17 1 Chronicles 15:18 1 Chronicles 15:21 ), with the instruments respectively used by each. "Ben" ( 1 Chronicles 15:18 ) is omitted. Either it was used merely as a common noun, to intimate that Zechariah was the son of Jaaziel or Aziel, or Ben is the same as Azaziah.
22. Chenaniah, chief of the Levites--He was not of the six heads of the Levitical families, but a chief in consequence of his office, which required learning, without regard to birth or family.
instructed about the song--He directed all these bands as to the proper time when each was to strike in or change their notes; or, as some render the passage, "He led the burdens, for he was skilled," that is, in the custom which it was necessary to observe in the carriage of the holy things [BERTHEAU].
23. Berechiah and Elkanah were doorkeepers--who marched immediately in front, while Obed-edom and Jeiel went in the rear, of the ark.
25. So David, and the elders . . . and captains . . . went--The pious design of David in ordering all his principal ministers and officers to take part in this solemn work and imparting so much pomp and imposing ceremony to the procession, was evidently to inspire the popular mind with a profound veneration for the ark and to give the young especially salutary impressions of religion, which would be renewed by the remembrance that they had been witnesses of the august solemnity in which the king and the highest aristocracy of the land participated, vying with all other classes to do honor to the God of Israel.
26. it came to
they offered seven bullocks and seven rams--The Levites seem to have entered on this duty with fear and trembling; and finding that they might advance without any such indications of divine wrath as Uzza had experienced ( 1 Chronicles 13:10 ), they offered an ox and a fatted sheep immediately after starting ( 2 Samuel 6:13 ), and seven bullocks and seven rams--a perfect sacrifice, at the close of the procession ( 1 Chronicles 16:1 ). It is probable that preparations had been made for the offering of similar sacrifices at regular intervals along the way.
27. a robe of fine linen--Hebrew, Butz--is rather supposed in the later books to denote cotton.
an ephod--a shoulder-garment, a cincture or cape over his dress. It was worn by the priests, but was not so peculiar to them as to be forbidden others ( 1 Samuel 2:18 , 22:18 ).
29. Michal . . . saw . . . David dancing and playing--His movements would be slow and solemn, suitable to the grave and solemn character of the music. Though his royal robes were laid aside, he was attired like the other officials, showing a becoming humility in the immediate presence of God. The feelings manifested by Michal were only an ebullition of spleen from a proud and passionate woman.

Jonathan Davis, 24, was arrested on two counts of burglary after breaking into the Shell station on the intersection of Miss. Highway 8 and Martin Luther King Drive.
Cleveland Police Chief Buster Bingham said the storeowner quickly replaced the glass door broken by Davis in his attempt to steal cigarettes around 1:10 a.m.
Police immediately began their search for Davis after seeing his profile in the store's surveillance video.
Davis then returned to break into the store a second time around 3:40 a.m. and was apprehended by police after running from the scene.
He was identified as the suspect in the video.
Davis now faces a maximum of seven years for each count of burglary.
"This goes to show that our department is diligent and aims to catch criminals quickly — in this case within the same night," said Bingham. "Our officers did an outstanding job. They don't take anything lightly."
In other criminal news, Eddie Daniel, 48, of Cleveland was charged Friday with sexual battery by Cleveland police.
He was given a $5,000 bond and taken to the Bolivar County Regional Correctional Facility.
An incident in Pace, still under investigation by the Bolivar County Sheriff's Department, also highlighted the weekend crime beat.
Colon Vaughn, of Pace, was airlifted to the Regional Medical Center in Memphis around 3 a.m. Monday, after he sustained a cut to his upper left chest.
Vaughn was allegedly attacked by three unknown males next to his cousin's house on Township Road in Pace.
Vaughn was released from the hospital early Monday morning.
Anyone with information about this crime is encouraged to contact the Cleveland-Bolivar County CrimeStoppers hotline at 800-222-TIPS (8477), or the Sheriff's Department at 662-843-5378.

The city and DNR lifted the advisory after two sets of water samples tested clear of bacteria.
The advisory was issued after a water main break. Repairs to the line caused a pressure loss which can allow bacteria and other substances to enter the water system.

The bike rack is everything that we read on reviews. Great, easy to use, durable and versatile as we have road and mountain bikes. Auto Anything was the best price we could find and their service was superb! Delivered quickly without any issues.
