I was looking to replace some old Kenwood coaxials with something that could handle a bit more power so I decided to take a chance on a new product and got these. I've had em for about a month now getting about 80 watts a piece from an MB Quart ONX4.80 and they definitely handle the power with no problems whatsoever so far as they can be turned up to full volume without any signs of distortion.
But I have to say I'm not very impressed. The silk tweets lack clarity and aren't nearly as smooth and natural sounding as some other lower end tweeters I've heard and they do get kind of harsh at loud volumes. They were also very very quiet for a week or two and then they finally warmed up. Never heard of having to break in a tweeter before but whatever.
The mids are just alright. They sound good, but once again they lack clarity. They do look cool but I'm pretty sure that convex cone design probably isn't very good for the sound. The midbass is disappointing (thank God for subs) and the plastic insert on the grille broke off as soon as i took them out of the box.
The crossovers are pretty simple but they do have adjustable tweeter attenuation (0dB, -3dB, -6dB) which they don't advertise so that was a pleasant surprise.
They were a pretty cheap set so wasn't expecting much but these just lack the kind of clarity that I was expecting from even a lower priced comp set. I will probably replace them with higher end comps within a month or two. In this price range you can probably do a little better.

After hooking these bad boys up, I ended up still using the stock tweeters in my Jaguar X-type (not hooked up to the crossover of course) but continued to use the mid-woofer with this kit. Usually, even a slight upgrade sounds superior to stock, but not in this instance.
I have since upgraded, again, and found happiness in my new Polk Audio 650Dxi's

Watch: Iconic Video Game Characters All Bravely 'Go Right'
Features By Scott Beggs on May 2, 2012 | Comments (2)Why Watch? One by one, this clever short film parades familiar video game faces as they march forever from left to right. It's a celebration of scrolling (with music epic enough for the occasion) and a distillation of 8-bit nostalgia. But more than that, isn't there a lesson about life here? Something trenchant and humane? Something these colorful specks of light can teach us about ourselves? Even if there isn't, this video is really, really cool. What will it cost? Only 3 minutes.

Chronic diseases are diseases of long duration and slow progression. Major NCDs (cardiovascular diseases, cancer, chronic respiratory diseases, diabetes, rheumatologic diseases and mental health) represent the predominant health problem of the Century. The prevention and control of NCDs are the priority of the World Health Organization 2008 Action Plan, the United Nations 2010 Resolution and the European Union 2010 Council. The novel trend for the management of NCDs is evolving towards integrative, holistic approaches. NCDs are intertwined with ageing. The European Innovation Partnership on Active and Healthy Ageing (EIP on AHA) has prioritised NCDs. To tackle them in their totality in order to reduce their burden and societal impact, it is proposed that NCDs should be considered as a single expression of disease with different risk factors and entities. An innovative integrated health system built around systems medicine and strategic partnerships is proposed to combat NCDs. It includes (i) understanding the social, economic, environmental, genetic determinants, as well as the molecular and cellular mechanisms underlying NCDs; (ii) primary care and practice-based interprofessional collaboration; (iii) carefully phenotyped patients; (iv) development of unbiased and accurate biomarkers for comorbidities, severity and follow up of patients; (v) socio-economic science; (vi) development of guidelines; (vii) training; and (viii) policy decisions. The results could be applicable to all countries and adapted to local needs, economy and health systems. This paper reviews the complexity of NCDs intertwined with ageing. It gives an overview of the problem and proposes two practical examples of systems medicine (MeDALL) applied to allergy and to NCD co-morbidities (MACVIA-LR, Reference Site of the European Innovation Partnership on Active and Healthy Ageing).

I have decided that I am going to have to purchase my tomato plants. I have started seeds twice and failed miserably. It kills me to pay 3.00 for a tomato plant though. I go to a great plant stand in Plant City on occasion but they are hit or miss and its an awful long drive. They sell 4" pots 3 for 1.00. Is there any place like that in the Orlando/ Clermont area? Where do you all buy your vegetable plants from?
Thank you Kari |
Follow-Up Postings:
I don't know about tomato plants specifically, but a reasonably priced nursery is on 27 north near the spot where 19 crosses 27. It is on a hill at the right with a sign 'Cascades', which actually does not refer to the nursery but to the road to "Cascades", a development. |

kari, it might be too late to plant tomatoes... even very large seedlings might not set/ ripen any fruit. mine are around 3' and i worry that THEY won't set much fruit before frost... it might be time now to think of planting beans, broc, cauliflower, greens, herbs...and in a few weeks (first consistently cool mornings), lettuce, radish, beet and peas and potatoes. i've started lettuces in a sterile mix INDOORS... and once they got some size, i have put them outdoors in morning sun. but they won't go into the garden until, say, the end of october...
You think we'll have frost before Thanksgiving?! |

Thanks, I feel better now. |
Can anyone tell me if I can grow tomatoes in my greenhouse, or will they not get enough sun in the winter? |
I had a friend who did that and was very disappointed in the flavor. We assumed it was lack of light because his summer tomatoes were wonderful. Maybe there's a variety that requires less light. |

Roche Holding AG (ROG) said it's disappointed that Illumina Inc. (ILMN:US)'s board rejected its increased offer for the maker of gene-mapping tools and said there's "no justification" for the company's refusal to negotiate a deal.
The board of San Diego-based Illumina "continues to rebuff our attempts to engage in substantive discussions," Roche Chief Executive Officer Severin Schwan said today in a statement. "Roche's increased offer is highly attractive. By not engaging with Roche, Illumina reinforces the notion that its board and management are determined to preserve their positions rather than maximize shareholder value."
Illumina today urged shareholders to reject Roche's slate of board members, which mean to allow Roche to buy Illumina "at a low-ball price." Basel, Switzerland-based Roche raised its offer last week by 15 percent to about $6.7 billion, or $51 a share, after Illumina rejected the company's original bid. That offer is "grossly inadequate," Illumina said again today. Investors have until 6 p.m. New York time April 20 to tender their stock for the new cash offer, Roche said on March 29.
The increased offer "does not adequately reflect Illumina's singular position in an industry poised for extraordinary growth," Illumina Chief Executive Officer Jay Flatley said in a letter to Roche Chairman Franz Humer. "We are advising our stockholders that your revised offer is not in their best interests and not to tender any shares," Flatley said in the letter, which was distributed in a statement yesterday.
Illumina shareholders will decide April 18 whether to replace board members with Roche nominees, which would clear the way for talks from both sides. Illumina urged investors to support the company's directors.
Illumina rose less than 1 percent to $51.40 at 9:42 a.m. New York time.

Newry man dies in fiery Maine Turnpike crash
Tuesday, November 12, 2013
SOUTH PORTLAND, Maine (AP) � Police have identified the Newry man who died in a fiery crash on the Maine Turnpike in South Portland. Police say 36-year-old Jacob Bartholomew lost control of his car at about 12:30 a.m. Monday and struck a tree, prompting the vehicle to burst into flames. Only one vehicle was involved and Bartholomew was alone in the car. The crash was reported just minutes after police had received reports of his car driving north in the southbound lanes in Biddeford. Police think Bartholomew used a median crossover somewhere between Biddeford and Scarborough to get back into the proper lane before he crashed. |

The boss was on the set of MSNBC's Morning Joe Friday to discuss Iraq, the Tea Party, and the midterm elections. Watch the videos below:
Tennessee senator Lamar Alexander is making his final pitch to primary voters with a radio ad in which the two-term Republican claims he has voted to "end amnesty" for illegal immigrants. Alexander has been hit hard on the issue of immigration by his chief GOP challenger, state representative Joe Carr, ahead of Thursday's primary.
"In the last few days of a campaign, don't believe anything new that you hear," Alexander says in the ad. "Last year, I voted to end amnesty. Last week I voted against President Obama's immigration bill." Listen to the ad below:

It's still a year and a half before the first presidential primaries of 2016, but Gallup has a new survey out asking Republicans and Democrats about the potential GOP candidates. Analyzing those candidates' familiarity and favorability among Republicans, Gallup has discovered the best known and best liked are former Arkansas governor Mike Huckabee, Kentucky senator Rand Paul, Wisconsin congressman and 2012 vice presidential candidate Paul Ryan, and Texas governor Rick Perry.
Senator Thad Cochran of Mississippi edged out challenger Chris McDaniel in the Republican primary runoff Tuesday, ending a hard-fought, often bitter campaign for the party's nomination for the Senate. Cochran won the runoff by just around 4000 votes, and is a favorite to win the general election.
On Tuesday, Eric Cantor, the Republican congressman from Virginia, became the first sitting House majority leader to lose a primary for reelection. The victor, political newcomer and college professor David Brat, won nearly 56 percent of the vote to win the GOP nomination for the Republican-heavy district around Richmond's northern suburbs and stretching toward Washington.
The WEEKLY STANDARD podcast with editor William Kristol on Eric Cantor's surprise primary loss in Virginia's seventh congressional district.
Dave Brat, a college professor challenging House majority leader Eric Cantor in next week's Republican primary in Virginia, has a 60-second ad touting his conservative credentials.
"I will fight to defund and repeal Obamacare. I will fight to stop the reckless spending in Washington. I will fight to stop amnesty for illegal immigrants," says Brat, matter-of-factly. "Eric Cantor voted to fund Obamcare. He voted to give President Obama a clean debt ceiling increase in this past January, and he is pushing for amnesty for illegal immigrants." Watch the ad below:
In the lead-up to Georgia's July 22 GOP runoff election for U.S. Senate, Congressman Jack Kingston of Savannah has received an endorsement from the Heisman Trophy-winning University of Georgia football legend Herschel Walker. Walker, a Georgia native and star running back of UGA's undefeated 1980 season, says in a new ad from the U.S. Chamber of Commerce that he cares "deeply about Georgia's future."
"Thats why I want my friend, Jack Kingston, carrying the ball for us in Washington," says Walker. Watch the ad below:
The Associated Press reports that former CEO David Perdue and congressman Jack Kingston won first and second place, respectively, in Tuesday's Republican primary for U.S. Senate in Georgia. Because Perdue, at 30 percent, did not win an outright majority, both he and Kingston (who got 26 percent) will face off in a runoff election for the GOP nomination on July 22. Fewer than 25,000 votes separated Perdue and Kingston.
If there's one thing we know about today's Georgia Republican primary for U.S. Senate, it's that we really don't know who will win. Or, more precisely, we don't know which candidates will come in first and second to proceed to the inevitable runoff election in July. With five major candidates in the running, it's unlikely the winner will get the necessary 50 percent support to avoid a runoff. So even after today, we still won't know who will be the Republican nominee in November.
Monica Wehby, a Republican candidate for Senate in Oregon, leads her primary opponent Jason Conger by 17 points in a new poll by a GOP polling group supporting Wehby. New Republican, which has been running TV ads on Wehby's behalf, polled 500 likely primary voters in Oregon and found 41 percent support Wehby, a pediatric neurosurgeon and first-time candidate, while 24 percent support state senator Jason Conger.
Republican Senate candidate Joni Ernst of Iowa has a double-digit lead over her closest primary opponent in a new poll from Loras College. The survey of 600 likely Republican primary voters found Ernst, a state senator, with 30.8 percent support, while businessman Mark Jacobs comes in second with 19.3 percent support.
Sam Clovis and Matt Whitaker come in behind with 9.5 percent and 7.3 percent, respectively, while 29.2 percent remain undecided.
With just days before Georgia's May 20 primary election, the leading Republican candidate has suggested he would support raising taxes as a way to fix the economy. Speaking to editorial board of the Macon Telegraph, businessman David Perdue said he supports "both" curbing government spending and increasing revenue. When a member of the board pointed out that "increasing revenue" is a euphemism for "raising taxes," Perdue reportedly "chuckled."
Republican Senate candidate Tom Cotton holds a small lead over Democratic senator Mark Pryor in an internal poll released today by the Cotton campaign. The poll of 600 likely voters in Arkansas found 42 percent support Cotton and 40 percent support Pryor. See the full release here.
A new internal poll of the Georgia Republican primary for U.S. Senate finds David Perdue, Karen Handel, and Jack Kingston all within a few points of each other. The poll conducted by Rosetta Stone Communications on behalf of the Handel campaign, found Perdue leading the pack with 22 percent support, with Handel just behind at 20 percent and Kingston in a close third at 18 percent.

No name for this bugger yet. It's my first attempt at creating a full alphabet plus punctuation for an actual font release! Inspiration came from a custom logotype I created that was not commissioned, it's a great excuse to dive into FontLab and see what it's all about.

Simon Leys is a Renaissance man for the era of globalization: a distinguished scholar of classical Chinese art and literature, he was one of the first Westerners to expose the horrors of Mao's Cultural Revolution. Leys's interests and expertise are not, however, confined to China: he also writes about European art, literature, history, and politics, and is an unflinching observer of the way we live now. No matter the topic he writes with unfailing elegance and intelligence, seriousness and acerbic wit. Leys is, in short, not simply a critic or commentator but an essayist, and one of the most outstanding ones of our time.
The Hall of Uselessness gathers the finest of Leys's essays for an American audience for the first time. On subjects ranging from China to Orwell and from Quixotism to the sea, Leys feuds with Christopher Hitchens, ponders the popularity of Victor Hugo, and considers whether Vladimir Nabokov's posthumous novel should ever have been published. He dissects Mao's Cultural Revolution and the Khmer Rouge regime, and discusses the legacies of Waugh, Chesterton, Simenon, and Confucius. He discusses Chinese art, culture, and politics; the joys of literary translation; and the fate of the university.
The Hall of Uselessness is an illuminating compendium from a brilliant and quirky writer and an exemplary global voice.
"…one of Australia's superlative essayists and the closest thing we have to a scholar-artist on the classical Chinese model…To see Leys's essays assembled is to appreciate, if you haven't already, the range of philosophical, artistic and literary interests that sustain even his slightest productions." –Geordie Williamson, The Australian

Intermittent lagging lasting 3-5 seconds.
Hi everyone,
I have a problem with a laggy keyboard and slow response to commands. The issue manifests itself as a 3-5 second delay every so often that stops the characters appearing on the screen even though I am typing. There is a similar delay when executing a command function such as waiting for the bold button to highlight before it can be clicked or scrolling the page up with the mouse wheel. The problem is the same whether using the laptop or external keyboard or mouse. These commands can be in any program and create the problem. This problem will occur even when only MSWord is open. Using process explorer the system is showing idle levels of 90% when these issues are occurring. I had endured this issue for months and tried some typical fixes to no avail. So I used the recovery disks for my Toshiba Satellite L645 laptop to start from scratch. After recovering the system I updated the bios and then proceeded to load my MS office suite. I found that the lagging problem still existed. I am really frustrated that this major action did not fix the problem. I did notice that some of the gazillion updates that were needed to bring the windows up to current status did not load successfully. I noticed this was also the case on the original windows load. My first instinct was to roll back the system and try to reload the updates. Unfortunately there is not a system restore point that goes back that far. All the failed updates were done within 2 days of regenerating the computer. I regenerated the computer on 23 June 2012. After reviewing a couple of threads in this forum I did use CC Cleaner to remove some junk from the system but nothing has changed. I also checked the hard drive for issues using the DOS commands and all is fine. Does anyone have any ideas for a fix? Thanks Tony |

Hi Greg, thanks for responding and the excellent series of suggestions. It has taken me a while to respond as I have done everything except to do a clean install using a Windows 7 disk. Unfortunately the changes I have made using your other suggestions have not made a difference to the lag so I will do the re-install of windows (again) when I can find the 2 days of time when I don't need my laptop for work.
Thanks for all your help Tony |

Hi Tony -
Sorry to hear of the bad luck results but in the end getting a perfect Clean Reinstall is even better than getting a new computer considering how much crapware comes preinstalled. So be sure to follow the steps closely so you only have to do it once, then you can rely on a backup image you save after it's set up and running right. |

I have been cruising the forum here (I'm a new member), and read several threads about Dillions "NO BS warranty". One especially was this one.
I just recently got back into reloading and wanted to setup my Dillion Rl550B. I ordered the video for this press to help me. Well, as it turns out I had about the same problem a jonnyrigger in the link above. Well, I just got off the phone with Gary of Dillion Presicion. He told me I had to buy the parts that were ruined. He told me they do not replace because of that type of situation. I am mad as heck right now and think that it is unfair for,I guess, some agents at Dillion to give one a replacement part....FREE.....and them another to say "TOO BAD" you need to pay. SO. Just how good is there so called "NO BS WARRANTY"? For me, It SUCKS!, but, I guess they got me by the you know what and I'll have to spring for those replacement parts. Anybody have this kind of experience? I hope Mike Dillion reads this stuff.

Campaign themes
Tidwell identified the following campaign themes for 2013:[4]
Graduation rates
Atlanta Public Schools has a fundamental problem; it is not educating our children. During the past four years of the current Board leadership, graduation rates have dropped significantly. Far too many children drop out before graduating. The graduation rate is an embarrassment to the City of Atlanta and to each of us as citizens. It goes without saying that we must increase the graduation rate, but we also need to make sure that our graduates are prepared to move on to their next step in life, whether it's college, work or some other pursuit. Too many students enter high school without the basic skills necessary to succeed, such as reading and writing. This is not a problem you can fix overnight, and it is not a problem that starts in high school. It is inexcusable to have a ninth grader that reads at a 5th grade level. We cannot accept or condone social promotion in the early grades. We need to make sure 9th graders arrive with the proper educational fundamentals, and once they arrive, we need to make sure they stay on track. High school students are young adults, but they still need our guidance and help to navigate the distractions that present themselves. |
Increasing early education programs
We need to increase K-3 educational programs for our children. Our goal should be for every 3rd grader to read at or above grade level. Anything less than a 100% success rate is unacceptable. In 3rd grade, children stop learning to read and begin reading to learn. If our children are not reading at grade level by the end of 3rd grade, then they start to fall behind. They lose confidence and self-esteem and become increasingly frustrated with school. These are the children who are most likely to become disciplinary problems in middle school and dropouts in high school. If our children are struggling, we need to identify them early and reach out to them while we can make a difference and get them back on track. If we wait until 9th grade, the train has already left the station. |
Reducing class size
The State of Georgia sets a maximum class size for each grade level at public schools. Each year under the leadership of my opponent, the Board of Education has requested a waiver of the State-mandated class size limit and maximum class sizes at APS have increased by 25%. This is simply unacceptable. Increasing class sizes diminishes the learning experience for every child, but it has a disproportionately negative affect on young children (grades K-3) and children from impoverished areas. The more children you squeeze into a classroom, the more disruptions you have and the greater potential for school ground violence. Most studies show a positive effect between smaller class sizes and academic performance, especially for younger children. There is not a single published study I know of that even suggests larger classes enhance the educational experience for children. Of course, we don't need a study to tell us what we, as parents, already know. When my second child was born, it was far more than twice the work of having only one child. When we have a play-date with 8 children, it is more than twice the amount of work compared to having only 4 children visit. Next school year, 2013-14, some 4th and 5th grade teachers could have 33 students in their class room, 8 more children than they had four years ago. Ask your child's teacher if they can be as "effective" with 33 students rather than 25 students. The real tragedy of this misguided policy is that the children who suffer the most are the ones who need our help the most. There is a reason the State of Georgia has mandatory maximum class sizes. There is a reason why private schools, with a financial incentive to increase class sizes, refuse to do so. APS and the current Board are failing our children by repeatedly requesting a waiver from the State maximum class size limits. |
Reforming the budget
Everything I have discussed above takes money, but APS already has the money to accomplish these goals. Revenue is not the problem. We don't need more money – we don't need to raise property taxes. Spending more money is not the solution. APS spends more money per student than any other school district in Georgia and more than most school districts in the nation. We need to spend the money we have more effectively. We can do more with less. Spending the money we have more effectively will improve our schools. To accomplish this, we must drastically reform the budget process. The first step is to implement financial accountability. We need to find out where the money is being spent, and then redirect it so more money goes into the classroom to be spent on teachers and supplies rather than administrative expenses downtown. Over the past four years, teacher salaries have been frozen but salaries for administrators downtown have increased significantly. One high-level administrator received $68,000 in raises from 2008 to 2012. This raise alone would be enough to pay for a teacher. Another administrator received $27,000 in raises over the past 3 years. This is fiscally irresponsible, especially at a time when most of us in the private sector are struggling to pay bills, including our property taxes which fund these raises. |
Reform the current model: Decentralize decision making
Atlanta Public Schools is not a one-size-fits-all school district. We have schools in very wealthy areas and schools in areas where parents are struggling mightily. Such a disparate school district cannot be governed effectively by bureaucrats in a downtown office. We must decentralize decision-making control and give principals more autonomy over their schools, staff and children. Principals are in a far better position than downtown administrators to know what their students need the most. To accomplish this goal, we will need to find a dynamic new Superintendent that is willing to change the paradigm of public education. We simply cannot afford to continue under the current model which does not work and has not worked. |
Reduce violence in schools
Children cannot learn if they are afraid to attend school. Parents are less likely to support a neighborhood school when their first thought each day is "I hope my child doesn't get hurt at school." We must work to reduce violence, which includes bullying, in our schools so children are not afraid to attend school and parents are not afraid to send their children to school. Many of the policies outlined above will help, such as reducing class sizes and engaging students at an early age so when they reach high school they are thinking about college and not dropping out. |

What was at stake?
All nine seats on the Atlanta Public Schools Board of Education were at stake in the 2013 election. Brenda J. Muhammad, Byron D. Amos, Nancy M. Meister, Courtney D. English and Reuben McDaniel were the only incumbents seeking re-election, meaning that the election resulted in significant turnover in board members. Some suspect the large turnover was a result of a number of district issues, but most predominantly the criminal indictment of 34 district teachers and former superintendent Beverly Hall. Board members LaChandra Butler Burks, Cecily Harsch-Kinnane, and Emmett Johnson were some of Hall's biggest supporters, which may have been a factor in their decision not to seek re-election.[5]
CRCT testing scandal
In March 2013 a Fulton County grand jury indicted 35 Atlanta educators, including former superintendent Beverly Hall, in a cheating conspiracy the stretched across 58 schools. Each defendant was charged with Georgia RICO (Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations) conspiracy. The 65-count indictment also included charges of False Statements and Writings, False Swearing, and Influencing Witnesses in connection with the alleged conspiracy to alter Criterion Referenced Competency Tests (CRCT) scores. Former superintendent Hall also faced theft charges because her salary rose with rising student test scores on standardized tests. Hall retired in 2011, just days before the allegations surfaced. The indictments came after a two-year investigation that looked at test scores dating back to 2005. Cheating allegations first surfaced in 2008, when The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reported "statistically improbable increases" in scores on the state-mandated Criterion-Referenced Competency Test (CRCT) at one Atlanta school. In 2009, the newspaper found similar increases at a dozen schools. The stories eventually led then-governor Sonny Perdue to appoint two special investigators who found cheating in 44 in 2011. In all, they found that 178 educators had cheated on CRCT tests.[6][7]No school board members faced implications due to these allegations. During their first few months in office, the new school board members will have to select a new superintendent.
Another challenge the new board will face is the development of next year's budget. The new board will likely want a significant reallocation of resources away from administration and into the classroom. There is also a strong call for reducing deficit spending, ending teacher furloughs and granting teachers a pay raise. These cost reductions and reallocations amount to $40-50 million out of an operating budget of approximately $590 million. It is likely that the cost reductions in the administrative and operating functions will be difficult to achieve without reducing the cost inefficiencies created by a number of small schools that were slated for closure, yet still remain open.[8] The new board will also have to address how to pay off an old pension liability that costs about $550 million. Atlanta Public Schools initially intended to withhold start up funding from charter schools in order to repay the debt, but in September 2013 the Georgia Supreme Court ruled that the city's school system can't make charters share in the burden of paying off the pension debt. The court decided that the amount of money charter schools receive is set by state law. The debt had been accumulating since the late 1970s, and charter schools don't participate in Atlanta Public Schools' pension system. The district released $415,000 to Atlanta Neighborhood Charter School after the money had been withheld last school year. The board is left to decide how to pay of the pension debt.[9]
Diploma misrepresentation
In August of 2013, Atlanta Progressive News reported that District 5 candidate Steven Lee had misleading educational credentials in documents prepared for the City of Atlanta. Three resolutions passed by the City Council of Atlanta, appointing him to three different boards in 2009, refer to him as Dr. Lee. Supporting documents, including Lee's resume, also referred to him as Dr. Lee. Former Mayor Shirley Franklin, councilmembers Felicia Moore, CT Martin, Joyce Sheperd, and Lamar Willis and former councilman Jim Maddox each signed letters of recommendation referring to Lee as Dr. Lee. When first asked about the references to him as Dr. Lee in the City legislation, Lee told Atlanta Progressive News that his PhD was from Belford University. Belford University was a diploma mill that closed in 2012. It offered online, non-accredited college degrees to individuals for their previous life experiences for several hundred dollars. While it had a post office box in Humble, Texas, the degrees were mailed from the United Arab Emirates. Lee's campaign materials did not mention that he previously referred to himself as Dr. Lee.[10]
Ethical questions regarding Shawnna Hayes-Tavares
In the summer of 2013, Atlanta Progressive News reported that Shawnna Hayes-Tavares, a candidate for Atlanta Public Schools Board of Education District 6, had an arrest record and was the subject of several investigations and actions involving JC Young Middle School. Hayes-Tavares was arrested on August 08, 2011, by DeKalb County Police, on three charges, including giving a false name and false information to the police, driving while license suspended or revoked and maximum limits.[11] Additionally, The Grady High School student newspaper and Atlanta Progressive News reported that the Young Middle School Local School Council claimed that Hayes-Tavares never reimbursed Young Middle School parents a total of $970 the parents had given her for uniforms during a summer camp. According to the March 18 Young Middle School LSC minutes, Hayes-Tavares collected $970 in full or partial uniform payments from the parents. Hayes-Tavares, however, claims that only four of the 15 girls at the camp paid for uniforms, which would equal $600 if those girls paid in full. After the majorette team was annexed by the After School All-Stars—a program with grant-provided funding for after-school activities—uniforms were no longer needed and Hayes-Tavares said she did not purchase them. Parents asked for a refund, according to the minutes from the meeting. Although Kelvin Griffin, the Young Middle School principal, asked Hayes-Tavares to return the $970, she had yet to refund the parents by the meeting on March 18, according to the LSC minutes. Griffin and Young Middle School decided to make the parents financially whole and reimbursed them. In an interview with The Southerner, Hayes-Tavares said she doesn't know why Young Middle School is under the impression the parents were not refunded, but did not respond to an email asking her to clarify who refunded the parents.[12]
This is not the first allegation of financial misconduct made against Hayes-Tavares. When she was president of the Young Middle School PTSA, the Georgia PTA began to investigate the association's finances and it was requested by a Georgia PTA official that no previous or current member of the Young Middle School PTSA should hold a position in any PTA/PTSA until the matter has been completely resolved. At the beginning of the 2011-2012 school year, Hayes-Tavares claimed there was a Georgia PTA letter which cleared her to serve again. Shortly after this claim was made, Hayes-Tavares collected gift certificates to be given to teachers for Christmas, but the gifts never made it to the teachers. Hayes-Tavares claimed the money was stolen from a school desk. After this incident, the LSC decided to look closer into Hayes-Tavares' alleged PTA exoneration. In June of 2012, a Georgia PTA official claimed that the Georgia PTA was not aware of a letter exonerating Hayes-Tavares. On July 29, 2013, Hayes-Tavares also wrote an email to William Scott, director of the Office of Internal Compliance for APS, in which she claimed that since the audit was completed, the members of the 2006/2007 PTSA should be allowed to serve again.[12]
After Atlanta Progressive News editor Matthew Cardinale posted a story about the accusations against Hayes-Tavares, three comments were posted to the online story within 50 minutes defending Hayes-Tavares. One of the comments was signed "YoungMS Teacher", another "T. Madhi" and the third was signed "Terry", a resident of District 6. Cardinale saw that all three of the comments had the same IP address, meaning that they all came from the same computer. He then discovered that the IP addressed belonged to Hayes-Tavares' computer because the candidate had previously commented on an Atlanta Progressive News article containing an interview with her on July 08, 2013. In a text message, Hayes-Tavares claimed that there were three campaign volunteers at her house posting the comments unbeknownst to her, and that she was not home.[13]

Will Martin Laird's Bay Hill win inspire?
ORLANDO, Fla. -- By most accounts, they invented the game in Scotland, and all these centuries later still boast about having some of the finest courses anywhere.
But when it comes to producing top players, the Scots have been woefully inept in recent times, with just two players ranked among the top 100 in the world.
That's why Sunday was such a big deal for a country that calls golf its own.
Scotsman Martin Laird won the Arnold Palmer Invitational on a day filled with carnage at the Bay Hill Club, capturing his second PGA Tour title despite a final-round 75.
Across the Atlantic, Scotsman Paul Lawrie won the Andalucian Open in Spain, the former British Open champion's first victory in nine years.
Among golf fans, that likely produced a celebration in Scottish pubs on Sunday night unseen since well, Saturday night.
"It's not secret that Scottish golf has been down for a few years after Monty's dominance," Laird said, referring to eight-time European Tour money winner Colin Montgomerie -- the captain of the victorious 2010 European Ryder Cup team.
"Now we have a lot of good players," Laird said. "We just need to get up there and get experience and to have two wins in one week is obviously huge."
Laird, 28, truth be told, is more American these days than Scottish -- although at least he chose a place that sounds similar: Scottsdale. A native of Glasgow, Laird played college golf at Colorado State and has lived in the United States for 11 years.
He met his fiancé, Meagan Franks, while in college and they have a wedding planned for this summer.
"He loves it here," Franks said. "This is home now."
Laird had a scholarship offer from Colorado State and took it sight unseen. He arrived in Fort Collins, Colo., just days before school started having never been to the United States. Prior to that, Laird came up the junior golf ranks in Scotland.
"Scottish golf, pretty much every year in amateur golf, is really good," he said. "We always do well in all of the big amateur tournaments. But for some reason, guys trying to make the transition from amateur golf to professional golf has just not been working.
"I was lucky enough that when I was over here and graduated Colorado State, I had a group of sponsors that gave me some money to play and I didn't have to worry about paying my bills and entry fees. I could just go work on my game and try and get better."
Laird made his way onto the Nationwide Tour in 2005 and was on the PGA Tour by 2008, holding on to the 125th and final fully exempt position.
Two years ago, Laird notched his first PGA Tour victory at the Justin Timberlake event in Las Vegas, and last year had several close calls, including a playoff loss to Matt Kuchar at the Barclays.

He was ranked 40th in the world last week and will now move up to 21st, territory not seen since Montgomerie was trolling the top 10 as Scotland's most prolific winner.
Lawrie, 42, the beneficiary of Jean Van de Velde's epic collapse at the 1999 British Open, had not won since 2002. He was ranked 272nd in the world prior to his victory, one of just 10 Scotsmen ranked among the top 500 -- with Monty now anchoring the group at No. 413. Former U.S. Amateur champion Richie Ramsay is ranked 141st.
Laird is the only Scotsman to play full time on the PGA Tour and the dearth of top-ranked Scottish players remains a perplexing issue for many.
"My god, if you only knew how much we've spent on that question!" said John Huggan, a longtime Scottish golf writer who works for The Scotsman as well as Golf World magazine. "Our weather doesn't help. Nor do many of the [foolish] golf clubs we have over here see the R&A and their junior membership, which is holding steady at nil.
"And we're not very big. Only 5 million citizens. In other words lots of reasons."
Laird is one of only three Scotsman to win U.S. tour events, along with Sandy Lyle -- a two-time major winner -- and Ken Brown.
Golf's oldest governing body, the Royal & Ancient Golf Club, is based at the world's oldest and most famous venue, St. Andrews. The country has five venues in the British Open rotation: St. Andrews, Carnoustie, Turnberry, Muirfield and Royal Troon. And it annually hosts three European Tour events: the Scottish Open, the Dunhill Links Championship and the Johnnie Walker Championship.
And just three years from now, Gleneagles will host the Ryder Cup.
"It's an alarming thought," Montgomerie said as long ago as the 2006 Ryder Cup. "We've got to get more Scots playing in this bloody thing. There are a lot of good Scottish players out there, but of late, they've not been reaching the Ryder Cup level.
Bob Harig's mailbag
Who will get off to a fast start to the 2012 PGA Tour season? Should the tour change how it opens the season? Drop ESPN.com golf writer Bob Harig a line, and he'll respond to some of the best questions. Ask Harig a question
"I can't stress how much it will mean to have at least one Scot playing when the match is held in Scotland."
It looks like Laird could be the man. He plans to take up European membership so that he can be eligible for next year's Ryder Cup at Medinah outside of Chicago.
And given the fact he has put himself in a position to be eligible for major championships and World Golf Championship events, he has the opportunity to earn world ranking points when the qualifying process begins later this year.
Perhaps Laird will become an inspiration and show his countrymen a route to big-time golf.
"There's no doubt we have the talent in the country," he said. "It's just that transition. We need to get better."

Security firm, PhoneWatch today announced the opening of a new office in Kilkenny, its first base outside of Dublin and the start of a nationwide expansion.
This expansion will begin with a new office in Kilkenny with 15 new jobs created.
PhoneWatch, previously owned by Eircom, was last year bought by Norwegian firm Sector Alarm Corporation, the second-largest home security company in Europe.
The home security company announced in April its plans to build an office network throughout the country, including Cork and up to 10 other regional centres, and to create 230 jobs in the process.
Overall, newly created positions at PhoneWatch will span engineering, sales and operations, though the roles in Kilkenny will be heavily focused on sales, the Irish Examiner reports.
Kilkenny has been selected to serve as a hub for the south-east region, serving households not only in the county but surrounding areas also.

Hi girls
I am just thinking, should you ask "permission" from your husband before you write it on the blog. Especially if it is a story that relates to him? Describes him? Or may be even embarasses him? Where do you draw a line?
What are your thoughts? What do you do?
To discuss or not to discuss?
I wouldn't put something up that embarrasses him. When I write, I think, would I tell this story in front of him?
I always ask him first. He usually doesn't mind, but once in a while there's something he asks me to leave out, and I'm fine with that. I respect it and I hope if he had a blog he'd do the same for me. I also ask friends/family before writing about them or posting pictures of them or their children. I just think it's the right thing to do since anyone online can see the information/photos.
We have kind of public lives so I am ALWAYS careful what I post in regards to hubs, kids, life etc. I post cute stories but nothing embarassing ever. We have a hole host of off limits topics that came straight from our PR including those lol.
Yes, I ask permission first. But most of the time, I only write nice things about him. Those that will embarass him, I leave out.
I wont post anything that could be embarrassing or identifying without asking him first. Since my blog is about our family, he is going to be discussed in some of it and he is fine with that.
No i dont think so unless you are providing some personal information you can share permission is required only when it is personal

Voices May Not Trigger Brain's Reward Centers in Children with ASD
Date Published:
June 17, 2013
This Stanford study identifies an underconnectivity between the voice-selective cortex and the reward centers in the brain. This could suggest why children with autism have trouble grasping the social and emotional aspects of human speech.

I have bearded iris's in yellow, purple, and white....
i also have a few cannas... the cannas were given to me by a neighbor welcoming me to my new home. I have empty flowerbeds and i am looking for bulbs... i can trade a mix of iris's or $ if anyone has bulbs to spare or if they have plants to divide, there are a few things i am looking for in particular for sentimental purposes.. like "ditch lillies" as they remind me of my mother before she passed away my brothers got rid of her house and i never had an opp to go get some of the plants prior. I am also looking for a few lily of the niles( as this was the first plant my father ever gave me when he started building my love for plants when i was 10 yr. old ) and really just anything else with color as i want variety. i like trading out or making connections this way rather than going to a calloways or something as i much prefer the plants that will have stories about where they came from... i am a nerd.. it is ok... but i love it, it means something to me, plus my 5 yr old son loves going to the mailbox and finding new buddies for the yard... |
Follow-Up Postings:
Hi lilbrynn1, Welcome to Garden Web and The Plant Exchange. I'm not looking to trade but can provide the ditch lilies you are seeking unless someone comes along and has them and cares to trade. I will be busy and away until Sun night, so if you care to just drop me an email, and please be sure and provide your member name, as I have a LOT of emails from GW. In some parts of the country, tiger lilies are referred to as Ditch lilies... like these That is not the kind I have. I have the ones like in the pic at the link below. Again...Welcome and Happy Trading. chemocurl...aka Sue |
Here is a link that might be useful: Ditch Lilies...aka hemerocallis fulva
Agapanthus is pretty easy from seed. (Any crevice in concrete will do - lol!) You might want to think 'seed' as well as clumps and offsets for your Nile lilies. The evergreen ones come fairly true. |

6 Forsooth a fool shall speak folly things, and his heart shall do wickedness, that he perform feigning, and speak to the Lord guilefully (so that he act falsely, and speak deceitfully, even to the Lord); and he shall make void the soul of an hungry man, and shall take away drink from a thirsty man. | 6 For the fool speaks folly, his mind is busy with evil: He practices ungodliness and spreads error concerning the LORD; the hungry he leaves empty and from the thirsty he withholds water. |
