News Round-up
- Mixed gender events in both diving and synchronised swimming are to be introduced following a decision at the FINA Extraordinary Congress in Doha. The diving programme will include mixed synchronised events from the 10m platform and 3m springboard, and the synchronised swimming events will include technical and freestyle mixed duets. Tom Daley described the introduction of mixed diving as "really exciting". "What a great way to develop the sport and have something new to add to the competition schedule," he said.
- Two magical creatures, inspired by Brazil's fauna and flora, have been unveiled as the official mascots for the Rio 2016 Olympic and Paralympic Games. The mascots, who will be named by a public poll which was due to end on December 14th, feature various pop culture influences along with elements of animation and computer game characters. "The Rio 2016 mascots represent the diversity of our culture, of our people," said Rio 2016 brand director Beth Lula. "They represent our joy, our way of being. Both are magical creatures with super powers and relate naturally with the young audience, whom we want to engage with our event so much."
- A PE student has been praised by the RLSS after helping to save the lives of his family – just three weeks after completing a lifesaving course. Twenty-year-old Ashley Matthews kept his head and helped to get his parents and girlfriend to safety after their hired boat capsized 800m off the coast of Majorca during a sudden squall. Ashley, who completed RLSS UK's national pool lifeguard qualification three weeks before the holiday, said: "I never dreamed I'd need the skills so soon or that they'd help my own family. Doing the course made a huge difference. You never know when you might need the skills you learn. As we found out, things can happen in the blink of an eye. One minute we were plodding along in the boat and the next we were in the water."

This Life
It's been a year of change for Tom Daley and his new coach, Jane Figueiredo – and in the coming months they plan to unveil a new dive in the Olympic diver's native city. They told Swimming Times about their progress, hopes, plans – and new team-mates.
Tell us about your training schedule with Tom.
Since I started coaching Tom, I have always given him a pretty tough schedule. I didn't want to let up. I think we have a lot of work to do. I feel like we need to be doing the work now. And then, as we get closer to the Olympics, we will work a bit more on quality and those kind of things. He knows he's got to work a lot so we're training six days a week – twice a day except Saturday and he's off on Sundays. All of those are water days and three are also weight days. We've been doing a lot of dry-land work – preparation for this new dive and getting his strength.
We are also making sure we stay away from injuries so continuing the really great strength-and-conditioning that we've been doing. So far, so good.
Remaining injury-free is key for him. That 10m board can be hard on your body. I have to pace him and make sure we're not doing too much but that we are doing enough.
How do you think Tom has settled in? He's had to relocate, away from his family, and he made that courageous revelation.
He's extremely happy. And I am extremely happy with him. I'm proud of him. I'm proud of his courage.
He's a very confident person and I love that he pursued what he felt was right for him. A lot of kids and adults today like to sit in that comfort zone.
When he asked me to come and be his coach, he also helped me to come out of my comfort zone. I couldn't have picked a better opportunity, a better environment, a better group of kids to coach. And on top of that, a great group of federation people to work with, who have embraced everything that I have brought to the table and supported everything I have done, especially Alexei Evangulov [national performance director], who believes in me and brought me all the way from America.
How would you sum up the state of play?
I'm really happy. Everything has come together. The pressure is on us to perform. Getting up every day and really enjoying doing what you do is a pleasure.
Tom, Emily and Georgia make my days awesome and I couldn't be happier.

Honesty Box
Nick Gillingham, the Olympic silver and bronze medal-winning 200m breaststroker, reveals his obsession with water, his passion for adventure, his love affair with horses – and how a nervous pony called Maverick broke his heart.
I often dream about… having my own horse. A lot of kids might say that but I'm 47. I rode before I joined the swimming club, I went to the local stables. I loved the sense of freedom it gave. My youngest boy knows this is one thing I dream about and a few months ago he said, "Daddy, I'll buy you that horse."
My parents couldn't afford riding lessons or my own horse so I undertook voluntary work at the local stables in Walsall. At the end of the day, I could ride for free. It was like having my own horse. I was there from about the age of eight for three years.
The last concert or gig I went to was… Take That. Don't laugh! I like them. It was when Robbie Williams joined them again. It was at the Sunderland Stadium of Light and it was a brilliant night.
My favourite way to relax is… feet up, slippers on, sitting down with the family, watching a great family film. Get the wood-burning stove on. We live in a very rural area: I get the old chainsaw, cut my logs, dry them up, chuck them on the stove and get them going.

Swimming Mum
As the rest of us prepare to ring out the old and ring in the new, Mum battles to adjust to her own changes – including life as an e.swimming mum
I recently received a concerned email from the editor. Now that I'm 'home alone', he wondered whether I'd be able to keep writing. Indeed, would I have anything swimming-related to write about? Interested though the readers are in my house sale and the antics of Shelly the ferret, they're not really the stuff of which swimming magazines are made.
I reflected on this (I have much time for reflection these days). It's certainly not the end of Swimming Mum but perhaps the end of Mum as we know her.
To be honest, it's taking some adjustment – and a lot of the time I seem to be 'e.swimming'. I've just acquired an iPhone (to the amusement of the children as it's a wilful gadget and never seems to do what I want it to do) which means Swimming Daughter Junior can instant-message me at any time.
Here's a taste of my new life as a swimming mum:
'....missing you already'
'...the set today was really tough but I made the turnarounds LOL'
'...really cold and the pool heater broke today so we had to do extra gym – aaarrgghh my legs ache'
'...I am sooooo tired'
'...goggles broken – I need new ones – can you get them here by tomorrow gf?'
'...OMG had an honesty set today – well hard'
'...the coach is pregnant! I think Junior's a good name'
'...please send money and cereal bars'
And here's my favourite:
'....this guy says everyone reads your article and it's the best part of Swimming Times'
With this daily stream of information, I try to build up a mental picture of what's she's doing. Fortunately, this e.existence is interspersed with bursts of 'the real thing'.

New kids on the podium
Guildford City ended City of Leeds' four-year reign as England's junior league champions as the Surrey club won the inter-league title at the first attempt.
Junior league newcomers Guildford City ended City of Leeds' four-year reign as the Arena National Inter-League champions with victory at the first attempt in the Corby International Pool. While Leeds, who have won all four of their previous national inter-league finals, slipped to sixth place, the Surrey club recorded 15 wins and 11 second places as they built a victory margin of 35 points over runners-up Stockport Metro.
Guildford have now won eight galas out of eight since they entered the Milton Keynes Junior League for the first time in 2013.
"Two years ago, we made a decision that we should try to do something for the juniors," said the club's county squad coach, Sally Williamson. "We knew we needed to go in at the bottom and follow each step of the way. We won that and were promoted and this year we won Division One and beat Hillingdon."
This victory denied last year's national runners-up a place in the southern final and national semi-final, which Guildford also won to qualify for the Corby showdown at the earliest opportunity.
"Coming to the final was an unknown," said Williamson. "We hadn't been here before and, although we had beaten the southern teams, we had not swum against the northern clubs so we didn't know.
"We are delighted with the result. It's absolutely amazing – an amazing day, an amazing atmosphere and an amazing result. And it was all about the team – a fantastic team effort."

Deaf-friendly swimming
Swimming lessons for deaf youngsters can be hard to find – but a three-year project aims to change all that, says Jane Greene Pettersson
When Daisy Williams was five-and-a-half months old, she was diagnosed as severely deaf. Daisy is Wendy and Fred Williams' second child. They also have a son, Kris, and when the new baby did not seem to react to loud clapping or musical instruments, her parents, both musicians, had their suspicions that she may not be able to hear properly.
They did not want to admit their fears to one another and they found the diagnosis very tough.
However, Daisy was fitted with hearing aids and her parents gradually stopped worrying about what she would not be able to do. "When she was fitted with hearing aids at five-and-a-half months, it was like switching on a light bulb," says Fred. Daisy quickly learned to sign and her parents hoped that she would be able to take part in all of the activities that her older brother enjoyed, including swimming.
There is no reason why deaf children and young people should not be able to learn to swim but for many deaf children and young people, swimming lessons can be difficult to access. The acoustics of a swimming pool make it more difficult to hear, the teacher is usually on the poolside quite far from the children and although waterproof hearing aids are being developed, conventional hearing aids and cochlear implants have to be removed in water.
Added to this, many swimming providers simply don't know how to meet the needs of deaf children.
This means that the children are doubly disadvantaged because not only is swimming a lifesaving skill and great fun but the ability to swim opens up a whole world of other water-based activities such as scuba diving, rowing, surfing and sailing.

Night swimming
Jo Mitchinson describes her first experience of night-time swimming at Bray Lake in Berkshire
Picture the scene: it's July, tropical and the water is a balmy 21 degrees C. It's still light at 10pm, the season's going well and I decide I'm up for one last challenge. I bounce my idea off of Stuart Hacker – a fellow club member, who seems to have the same warped idea of fun as I do and, before I know it, we're both going to a night swim in October. Then the promotion (guilt trip) to our club-mates starts. In a Facebook thread that reached nearly 300 comments, we managed to field very close to our entire race team. Nobody had done anything like this before.
Suddenly it's September, the evenings are starting to draw in, it's dark by 8pm, the water temperature is dropping. Then it's October and there's no denying it –it's now pitch black by 7pm and the water temperature... I wouldn't know. I stopped swimming outside weeks ago because it was too cold.
The day arrives. I pack my bag. My Hula Hoops and spare goggles are fast becoming the stuff of legend, but I knew I'd need to be better prepared for this one. Unfortunately, as I later discover, the one extra bag of crisps and the addition of a hugely hideous onesie that I packed aren't quite enough. I should have thought through the goggle situation a little more.
Arriving at the venue nice and early, I sit with my back to the lake, trying to ignore the group of swimmers who arrived and are insisting on peering into the water playing a game of 'who can spot the biggest pike?' This game grates on me – I hate fish, whether they are in the sea, lake, battered, tinned or on fish counters, where they insist on leaving the heads on in case you want to see how ugly it was when it was alive. I don't eat them. I know they live in the water that I will swim in, but pointing them out makes me feel physically sick. The 'spot the monster living in the lake' game goes on for ages – so I go to register.
This is the only race I've ever done where I've collected the goody-bag at registration. This is a strange, unnerving experience, which doesn't fill me with much confidence.

New Year, New You!
Making small but sustainable changes will help you to reach your healthy eating and weight management goals, says performance nutritionist Debbie Smith
Over the last year, we may have overindulged a little more than often or not done as much exercise as planned. For many of us, the New Year is the time to make a new start or try a little harder. Among popular New Year resolutions is the vow to lose weight and improve fitness. However, with the best intentions at this time, not many of us manage to keep up the good work throughout the year.
Making small changes which are gradually incorporated into our lifestyle, rather than unrealistic promises all at once, means we should be able to sustain these as part of a healthy lifestyle – and not just for a few weeks. Research shows that people who diet tend to gain more weight in the long-term.
Fad diets are usually ideal for a quick fix, often involving cutting out food groups, fasting or even supplementing meals. However, for most people this is not sustainable and will limit important nutrients that our body needs to function.
Do you ever feel like you crave sugary foods? Need an energy boost so drink more caffeine? Can't be bothered to cook so go for the easy, unhealthy option?
Our poor nutrition habits are often a result of fatigue. Although the quick solutions, such as drinking caffeine or having a sugary snack, may have short-term benefits, this can negatively impact on our long-term goals. The National Sleep Foundation suggests as a rule of thumb that adults need between seven and nine hours of sleep.
We should try to improve our sleep hygiene to improve sleep quality and not just sleep duration, since this can have a big impact on our daily performance and nutrition habits, and ultimately your weight management.
You can find out more about the benefits of cutting sugar out of your diet and how planning and preparation plays a key part in sticking to a healthy diet by purchasing a copy of the January 2015 issue of Swimming Times.
Memory lane
Former champion diver Anne Green Jessel recalls her eventful life in the pool and on the boards
I was born into a swimming family, the last girl to arrive, my older sisters eight, 14 and 16 years away from me. Poor Dad was hoping for a boy but it wasn't to be.
Mum and Dad were busy members of West Bromwich SC, sitting on committees and officiating at galas and eventually becoming life members. My sisters were already Midland and club swimmers and champions. Dad had an ambition that one of my sisters would swim the Channel but, by desire or design, this never happened.
One day, when I was toddling around, I was scooped up into the car and driven to the West Bromwich Gala Baths. I remember being carried into this big building and suddenly faced with a huge bath of blue water. From that day on, after my first introduction in the arms of my big teaching Sis, I was taken frequently and got used to the idea. I couldn't stand up to paddle nor could I swim so I had to rely on my teaching Sis and her boyfriend carrying me around, dousing me up and down.
After a while, I found myself in a harness being carried up and down the bath by someone who, to me, was a very old lady with a loud mouth. I didn't like it.
At the galas, I watched my sisters swimming to victory and picking up trophies, their beaux playing water polo, Mum and Dad at opposite ends of the pool with stop watches. Between the galas I was taken to another big pool, but this time it was under a blue sky – the Kingfisher Lido near Kingswinford. I remember those lovely weekends, playing in the fountains during what seemed to be persistently lovely summers.
It had a higher-up camping field and my soon-to-be brother-in-law took his youth squad on camping trips for treats. My sisters and I joined them. It was wonderful.
They apparently thought nothing of me wandering into the shallow end of the pool, where I could stand up and tried – oh so tried – to get my feet off the bottom. The old lady hadn't been a great success with me over the last year. I was about five then.
Eventually, I could swim a little and retrieve myself after jumping in. It became the practice to move me slowly into the deeper water. with assistance, the goal being that they could plant me on the pooldeck midway down the length of the bath, stand on the opposite side and beckon me to jump in and swim across.
I didn't like the idea much and they often had to patiently await my effort, offering bribes of lovely milkshakes on the way home. That usually did the trick and, with a struggle, I made it to the other side. However, on one occasion, I vividly remember almost reaching the other side but then starting to sink.
Down I went, waiting to touch the bottom when I could give a good push up, but as I was making these plans, a body splashed down to my side, and my sister hoisted me up.
Amazingly, I hadn't panicked, and surprisingly wanted to do it again straight after – then perhaps I'd get two milkshakes. And I did.

If life is hard for a superhero, Johnny Storm rarely showed it. This youngest member of the Fantastic Four routinely basked in the glory of his celebrity status. But he also proved himself a true hero in his many adventures with the FF and sometime friend, sometime rival Spider-Man.
Ultimately, Johnny's challenge was to seek maturity and ask himself what he stood for in life. He did just that when he sacrificed himself to save the rest of his family. A hero couldn't ask for a better death.

Short Starts: Watch 'The Lone Ranger' Star Armie Hammer in the Vonnegut Adaptation '2081'
Features By Christopher Campbell on June 30, 2013 | Be the First To CommentThis is another edition of Short Starts, where we present a weekly short film(s) from the start of a filmmaker or actor's career. Armie Hammer, who stars in the title role of Disney's The Lone Ranger, has not been in many films. His first leading role was playing televangelist Billy Graham in the religious, indie biopic Billy: The Early Years, but it's only since his memorable turn as both Cameron and Tyler Winklevoss (aka "the Winklevii") in 2010's The Social Network that he's become a major Hollywood player. It might have been earlier had the George Miller Justice League movie happened, but the casting of Hammer as Batman was not meant to be. Instead, in addition to the double duty as Mark Zuckerberg's legal adversaries, he's played prominent supporting characters in J. Edgar and Mirror Mirror and a deleted minor part in Hall Pass. Hammer's "short start" came not at the very start of his career, but following the Graham film and a number of television gigs, the first of which was as a featured extra on Arrested Development (see him utter his one line here). His appearance in Chandler Tuttle's sci-fi film 2081 was still a year before he broke out, and yet even for a short it's a pretty plum role for a relative unknown. He plays the main character in this 25-minute adaptation of Kurt Vonnegut, Jr.'s 1961 story "Harrison Bergeron." Set in the titular year, it's a tale of a dystopian future in which everyone is equal […]
Patricia Clarkson and Toby Kebbell Head to 'The East'
Casting Couch By Kate Erbland on October 6, 2011 | Be the First To CommentThe casting news for Zal Batmanglij's next film with co-writer and leading lady, Brit Marling, continues to be my latest obsession. We know that the pair's film The East will focus on an eco-terrorism group that is infiltrated by a hired agent, and that plotline, paired with Batmanglij and Marling's apparent interest in fringe groups and their draw (look no further than their Sundance hit Sound of My Voice for proof of this), is enough to get me outrageously excited for the indie thriller. But as the film rounds out its casting, my excitement level is verging on simply unmanageable. Marling is already in to star as the undercover agent, dispatched by a private security firm that works to protect large corporations from eco-terrorist groups like the titular the East. Marling will get more involved than she anticipated, however, as her character will end up falling for the leader of the group, to be played by Alexander Skarsgard. Ellen Page is also on tap to play a member of The East, one who also has a romantic past with Skarsgard. The production has now added Patricia Clarkson in the role of Marling's corporate boss, along with Brit Toby Kebbell, who is in negotiations for a role as "a doctor who was treated with a tainted drug that caused him to have Parkinson's-like symptoms."

Culture Warrior: Beautiful People Having Sex
Culture Warrior By Landon Palmer on July 26, 2011 | Comments (1)The cinematic doppelganger effect seems to happen on a cyclical basis. Every few years, a pair of movies are released whose concepts, narratives, or central conceits are so similar that it's impossible to envision how both came out of such a complex and expensive system with even the fairest amount of awareness of the other. Deep Impact and Armageddon. Antz and A Bug's Life. Capote and Infamous. Paul Blart: Mall Cop and Observe and Report. And now two R-rated studio-released romantic comedies about fuck buddies played by young, attractive superstars have graced the silver screen within only a few short months of each other. We typically experience doppelganger cinema with high-concept material, not genre fare. To see two back-to-back movies released about the secret life of anthropomorphic talking insects, a hyperbole-sized rock jettisoning towards Earth's inevitable destruction, a Truman Capote biopic, or a movie about a mall cop seem rare or deliberately exceptional enough as a single concept to make the existence of two subsequent iterations rather extraordinary. Much has been made of the notion that Friends with Benefits is a doppelganger of No Strings Attached (the former has in more than one case been called the better version of the latter), but when talking about the romantic comedy genre – a category so well-tread and (sometimes for better, sometimes not) reliably formulaic that each film is arguably indebted to numerous predecessors – can we really say these films are doppelgangers in the same vein as the high-concept examples, or […]
Kevin Carr's Weekly Report Card: July 22, 2011

Review: 'Friends With Benefits' Features Pleasant Personalities and Impeccable Chemistry
Movie Reviews By Adam Charles on July 22, 2011 | Be the First To CommentI think of all of the things I would consider myself (an underestimated athlete, occasionally decent word maker-upper, deceptively intriguing coffee maker…), a connoisseur of the modern romantic-comedy is probably not amongst them. I'll admit to stopping upon a Matthew McConaughey flick from time to time on a basic cable channel while I fold my laundry, cut my nails, or other things that really make me not sound very masculine. In my defense, I only do those things whenever a rom-com is on and so I blame the estrogen emitting from my television.
The point is, I purposely don't watch many romantic comedies and when I do I really don't pay much attention. It isn't because I inherently don't like them, it's because they unfortunately have a very, very strict formula that's about as predictable as the average American Friday date night. "What do you wanna do? Dinner and a movie? Okay," equates to "Hi. I like you but I don't know it yet. I know it now. You made me cry and run away. You ran after me? I love you, kiss my face."
Mila Kunis, Justin Timerblake Get Naked for the 'Friends With Benefits' Trailer
Movie News By Scott Beggs on March 16, 2011 | Comments (6)Didn't we just do this? More than most Deep Impact/Armageddon-style movie releases, the double dose of emotionless sex comedies has felt eye-rollingly boring. Fortunately, this trailer for Friends With Benefits makes it clear that this particular emotionless sex comedy takes things in a far more mad-cap direction than the Kutcher/Portman pairing. Justin Timblerlake busting some Kriss-Kross, Mila Kunis mocking Katherine Heigl movies, Patricia Clarkson doing some light S&M roleplaying, and Woody Harrelson stealing laughs as a gay man (who presumably can't jump). It's all here without even a hint of LOVE getting in the way of SEX. Not in this trailer at least:
Emma Stone is up to her elbows in boys that want to pretend to sleep with her. In the movie Easy A she plays Olive, the smart girl that's generally ignored by her class who gets a taste of popularity by way of infamy and continues to trash her own reputation in order to have one. She pretends to have sex with a gay classmate in order to boost his social status, and what results is a trip into a world of perception, heartache, trying to get with the school mascot, and a big red A on her chest.
'Easy A' Trailer Teases Us With the Sweetest Slut Ever
Movie News By Rob Hunter on May 13, 2010 | Comments (8)Ah yes, the high school tramp. Every red-blooded American male has at least one tale involving backseat shenanigans, broom-closet blowies, and trips to the pharmacist.
Based on the real life backstory of the 1980 U.S. Men's Hockey team, a team that defied all odds and rallied a nation by defeating the Soviet Union during a time of great sociopolitical tension, Miracle is also the very human story behind one of the greatest moments in sports history.
The combination of Woody Allen's return to New York City and Larry David's presence as the lead in his new film never pays off as it should.

New Century Version (NCV) | New International Version (NIV) |
1 This is what the Lord says: "I will soon cause a destroying wind to blow against Babylon and the Babylonian people. | 1 This is what the LORD says: "See, I will stir up the spirit of a destroyer against Babylon and the people of Leb Kamai. |
2 I will send foreign people to destroy Babylon like a wind that blows chaff away. They will destroy the land. Armies will surround the city when the day of disaster comes upon her. | 2 I will send foreigners to Babylon to winnow her and to devastate her land; they will oppose her on every side in the day of her disaster. |
3 Don't let the Babylonian soldiers prepare their bows to shoot. Don't even let them put on their armor. Don't feel sorry for the young men of Babylon, but completely destroy her army. | 3 Let not the archer string his bow, nor let him put on his armor. Do not spare her young men; completely destroy her army. |
4 They will be killed in the land of the Babylonians and will die in her streets. | 4 They will fall down slain in Babylon, fatally wounded in her streets. |
5 The Lord God All-Powerful did not leave Israel and Judah, even though they were completely guilty in the presence of the Holy One of Israel. | 5 For Israel and Judah have not been forsaken by their God, the LORD Almighty, though their land is full of guilt before the Holy One of Israel. |
6 "Run away from Babylon and save your lives! Don't stay and be killed because of Babylon's sins. It is time for the Lord to punish Babylon; he will give Babylon the punishment she deserves. | 6 "Flee from Babylon! Run for your lives! Do not be destroyed because of her sins. It is time for the LORD's vengeance; he will pay her what she deserves. |

Have you heard the news? Gas South is partnering with the Salvation Army to bring Project SHARE to our customers. Last week, we collected donations of new and used blankets to bring to the Salvation Army's shelter in Atlanta. Our President and CEO, Kevin Greiner, joined several of our employees at the shelter, as we worked with the residents to make the beds. It was a great way to kick off the program and give back to those who need it most.
Gas South employees, Salvation Army employees and shelter residents gather together to start making beds with the donated blankets.
Project SHARE is an initiative through the Salvation Army that collects money to assist those who are less fortunate with acquiring food, shelter, clothing, medical supplies and paying utility bills. Donations through the program help citizens in all 159 counties of Georgia and the money collected stays in the county from which it originates. You can sign up with Project SHARE by pledging to contribute any whole dollar amount you choose each month. The amount will be automatically added to your Gas South bill. Gas South will also be matching your donation up to $5 per month in 2013.
We are looking forward to participating in Project SHARE and we hope you are too. Find out more information and sign up for the program here.
Our President & CEO, Kevin Greiner teams up with Major Todd Hawks, the Metro Atlanta Area Commander for the Salvation Army to make beds in the bunk room at the shelter.
Have you heard about our Pay-As-You-Go (PAYG) program yet? We created PAYG in 2008 to help credit challenged customers get natural gas service. This program allows customers to obtain service without a deposit or a pre-payment. PAYG is an alternative to the regulated provider program and can actually help people strengthen their credit scores.
How does it work?
Each month, our PAYG customers are billed only for the gas they are forecasted to use over the next 30 days. This estimate is based on historical usage and the current gas prices. We also calculate the difference between the usage from the prior month and the charges you received. This calculation is reflected in the next bill to ensure that you only pay for the gas that you use. After 12 months of good payment history, you can move to a lower rate plan and we will report your good history to a consumer credit reporting agency to help improve your credit score.
The PAYG program offers low fixed and variable rates without any upfront costs. We also partner with several non-profit organizations through the program to help those in need. CredAbility, The Salvation Army, United Way, St. Vincent de Paul, Atlanta Community Food Bank and Action Ministries are all PAYG partners of Gas South.
How can I sign up?
If you think PAYG would work for you, please check out our website for more information. You can also call us at 1-877-347-7243. Temperatures are dropping outside, so let us know if you want to Pay-As-You-Go!
Manon, Dmitriy, Melanie and Rony gathered around the table for some great food!
Gas South employees celebrated an early Thanksgiving as a family with a festive potluck lunch. The celebration was filled with lots of food, lots of fun and lots of thanks!
We also took some time to reflect on what we are thankful for as a company and we want you to know, we are thankful for you. To all of our loyal customers, thank you for your business. From our family to yours, Happy Thanksgiving!
So, what are you thankful for this year?
Stephanie, Kevin and Kamden gathered round for the feast.
Lots of food, lots of fun and lots of thanks!
**Update: This offer has been extended through APRIL 30th, 2013. So, sign up for paperless billing soon!**
Now through April 30th, Gas South customers can receive a $10 bill credit when they sign up for paperless billing for the first time. It's a great way to end the clutter and hassle of paper billing and receive a simple email notification of your bill statement.
Paperless Billing at Gas South
The first option is to receive email notification to view your bill online. Signing up is easy with Gas South's Online Account Services- all you need is a valid email address, social security number on the account and your Gas South account number to sign up. The email notification will include your Gas South account number, amount due and the due date for your upcoming bill. This makes it easy for you to pay your bill using whatever method you prefer.
Paperless Billing at Your Bank
The second paperless billing option is to receive your bill through your bank. There is a difference between simply paying your bill through the bank bill pay and receiving your bill through the bank. Most banks offer the option to receive bills as an additional service in their online bill pay. Check with your bank to sign up for this option. With this service, you should receive an email from your bank each month when your Gas South bill is available.
Regardless of how you receive your bill, you can always view it through your online account and pay it using whatever method you'd prefer.
If you have never done paperless billing with Gas South, then I'd encourage you to sign up for one of these options soon and get your $10 bill credit! For more details, visit gas-south.com.
At Gas South, we're committed to providing our customers with the very best service. We're different than most natural gas providers because our commitment goes beyond what you pay for your natural gas. We will always provide you with great everyday low rates, local discounts and perks to save you money. Plus, we're committed to supporting and giving back to the communities that we serve. We call it Hometown Value and we believe our customers expect and deserve it.
Have you caught a glimpse of our new commercial that communicates this commitment? Take a look at the video below and tell us what you think. I love the dot in our commercial! Any ideas as to what we should name it?
Exciting news in the CNG world this week as Clean Energy and Honda are teaming up to bring natural gas vehicles to the market in our home state of Georgia. Last week, the two companies announced they will be offering a $3,000 fuel card at any of Clean Energy's compressed natural gas (CNG) fueling stations for anyone who purchases a 2012 Honda Civic Natural Gas Vehicle. With CNG prices hovering around $2.30 a gasoline gallon equivalent (GGE), $3,000 dollars will provide enough CNG to drive 40,000 miles, based on Honda's 27 miles / GGE City and 38 miles / GGE HWY fuel economy ratings.
On October 17th, Clean Energy, PS Energy and Clean Cities Atlanta opened Georgia's 7th CNG facility, located on Whitehall Street in the heart of downtown Atlanta. Clean Energy is continuing to help fuel the CNG Revolution. The recent improvements in CNG infrastructure in Georgia, along with incentives from companies like Honda, will continue to make CNG attractive and viable.
Gas South is excited about these opportunities around Georgia and will continue to keep you informed of developments in the promising CNG Revolution. If you have any questions regarding this program or other questions on CNG in general, please comment below or email me at email@example.com.
Does a $3,000 fuel card make purchasing a natural gas vehicle more practical for you?
This week, Gas South had the opportunity to attend the opening of two new compressed natural gas (CNG) facilities right here in Georgia; the DeKalb County Station at Seminole Landfill and American Fueling Systems (AFS) station off of Buford Highway. These stations, along with other public and private locations in Georgia are the reasons why our state is continuing to lead the southeast in the field of alternative fuels. The development of CNG stations around the state have been facilitated by initiatives like Atlanta Gas Light's (AGL) CNG Infrastructure program and public/private partnerships such as AFS's fueling station in DeKalb will be on the leading edge of the CNG revolution. This revolution has huge local and global implications that could impact the fueling, automotive and the political landscape of our state and country. Learn more about alternative fuels in Georgia at Clean Cities Atlanta and CNG Now.
CNG or compressed natural gas is a readily available alternative fuel that is made by compressing natural gas to less than 1% of its volume at standard atmospheric pressure. CNG can then be used to fuel automobiles ranging from your personal car to dump trucks. At the moment large companies such as UPS and municipalities like DeKalb County are benefitting from savings of almost a $1.50 a gallon and switching their fleets, buses, and vehicles to CNG. Currently, Atlanta Gas Light (AGL) has a leasing program that allows residents to rent a device that refuels your CNG vehicles in the convenience of your garage. To get more information regarding CNG in Georgia, feel free to comment below or email me at firstname.lastname@example.com.
So what would it take for you to buy a CNG car and be part of the CNG revolution?
Here at Gas South, we have always taken great pride in being actively involved in enriching the communities we serve. Beyond simply providing natural gas, our employees have always worked hard to ensure that we are actively engaged in helping our local neighborhoods grow stronger. We work hard to inform and interact with our customers online through social media outlets, like Facebook and Twitter and now through our brand new blog, The Hot Spot.
Thank You
First, I wanted to personally thank you for making Gas South the fastest growing natural gas provider in Georgia. We are a company that cares about our customers and we appreciate you choosing Gas South for your natural gas needs.
The Hot Spot
Our hope is that this blog will become a place to get to know our company from the inside out and to learn more about how we can work together to make this community great. You'll be hearing from multiple employees here at Gas South on numerous subjects, from area events to special discounts to energy saving tips and more. We want to provide information that will educate and entertain our customers and we feel that this is a great way to further establish a conversation. So, keep an eye out for more content to come and, as will always be the case with our posts, let us know your thoughts.
The Gas South blog provides the communities we serve with valuable information, such as local events, special discounts, energy saving tips, and more. We strive to foster a conversation within our community through educational and useful content.

I have a zit on the side of my nose. I'll spare you the photograph, but, suffice to say, it's one of those under the surface buggers that hurts like hell and you can't even squeeze to hurry along because it's so far buried. (Yes, I'm not above picking.)

I've been thinking a lot lately about what makes people family, and I've come to the conclusion that my family is not very biological these days. Rather, it's my people, those who know me and love me anyway, those who if I said, "I have a body to bury," would reply, "Where shall I bring the shovel?"

I'm a name collector. On any given day, I have a little running list in my head of fun names, silly names, puppy names, names I love, whatever. I didn't know this was an official hobby until J.K. Rowling declared that she does it also, at which point I decided I could come out as a name collector too.

Although I add a little every year, last night Sweet Husband was expressing distaste for the repetitive nature of my holiday playlist. I think it's well-varied--a few classics, a few updated classics, a few that are completely new--but, well, I'm always up for adding new. Any suggestions?
And, so as not to ask for something without giving something in return, here are a few of my favorites:
All That I Want by The Weepies
Kidnap the Sandy Claws from The Nightmare Before Christmas Soundtrack
Snowfall Kind of Love by Ingrid Michaelson
Christmas is Going to the Dogs from the How the Grinch Stole Christmas Soundtrack
Someday at Christmas by Jack Johnson
Somewhere in My Memory from the Home Alone Soundtrack
Come On! Let's Boogey to the Elf Dance! by Sufjan Stevens (and several others from the album Songs for Christmas)

So you can help me shop instead!
For those of you who have dogs/kids/other messy stuff:
What kind of bedding do you have? We're about due for new, and I'm trying to scout out something fun. I keep seeing all these pictures of pretty-pretty white beds, and I love how crisp and modern they look. But then I think about how dirty they would get after even one run-in with the Wee Welshman's paws, and reach the inevitable conclusion that we are not white bed people.
I don't want to do a bed-in-a-bag per se (because it sucks when one piece gets shabby and then you have to replace the whole thing because nothing else matches it)--more like something that matches, but isn't match-y? Maybe a solid color comforter and some fun pillows? A printed comforter and plainer pillows?
Clearly, I'm befuzzled. If you've seen something cute or have a good suggestion, leave me a comment pretty-please!
(Here are a few others that I like: luxurious fabrics, leslie's blue room, minor details.)

Because a) I'm starting to feel more comfortable just throwing questions out there on any old day, and b) as a consequence the idea of only doing so on Wednesdays is getting a little constraining--this will be my last official Wednesday poll. And since we're at less than a week until the election, a little game to go out with a bang.
For this week's poll:
Write a poetic tribute to the presidential candidate of your choice. It can be a haiku, a limerick, whatever--just make sure it includes some form of linguistic cleverness. Please note, I said a "tribute to your candidate". In other words, the point is to say what you love about your nominee, not what you don't like about the other guy (or gal)--play nice!
Comment and discuss.

I'm feeling all Halloween-y lately--thinking of all my favorite spooky stories and movies.
Like the ghost story that used to scare the bejesus out of me as a child. It was about a china doll that was actually a vampire and sucked her young owner's blood one night. The end was truly horrific--the girl's parents never figured out exactly how the girl died, but only found the china doll with a smear of blood across its face.
Or the Poltergeist movies. Wow. One night when I was much-too-young, a babysitter let me watch one (I still don't know which--the one with the man that looks like the Quaker Oats box?). I couldn't sleep in a room with a mirror in it for...well, come to think of it, it still gives me the heebs.
For this week's poll:
What are some of your favorite scary stories and movies? Why do you think it is that they give you the creeps?
Comment and discuss.

Last Wednesday night when we got back from vacation, I had a not-good message waiting from one of my college roommates. A mutual friend had suffered a heart attack and was in critical shape. Although Nice Friend is still alive and battling, in addition to worrying about her condition, I've spent the past week feeling a little guilty.
At one point in my life, Nice Friend was like my older sister. She was one of the managers at the restaurant I and many of my friends worked at during high school and college, and I can remember many nights spent after work talking about boys, life--you name it. Although I have a wonderful mother of my own, of course, Nice Friend was the person I went to for advice about things I couldn't always tell my mom (because Nice Friend wasn't obligated to, ya know, be my parent).
Then I moved, and visits home got both more rare and crazy busy. Over the past few years I've seen her at a few weddings and at our group of friends annual Thanksgiving reunion, but, more or less, we've just kind of lost touch....
And I'm feeling guilty that it's taken something like this for me to really stop and think of her.
So, for this week's poll, a task:
Call an old friend and catch up.

I am a Sagittarius through and through.
Loves travel, adventure, and new experiences? Check.
Idealistic? Check.
Impatient and restless? Check, check.
In addition, I am a lawyer (the practice of law being a recommended Sag career) and tend to be lucky with money--not winning the lottery lucky, but I almost always can find that quarter in the couch when I need it (a benefit of being ruled by Jupiter).
For this week's poll:
What's your sign? Do you have any of the characteristics people with your sign are supposed to have? Is there another sign you identify with better?
Comment and discuss.

A few weeks ago at a friend's birthday party, we were discussing tattoos and piercings. It's been a long time since I've visited a tattoo and piercing parlor, but I've had a decent number of holes put in my body over the years--don't get excited, nothing more exotic than my eyebrow, and mostly in my ears--and I have a little blackbird tat that perches on my lower back.
I've often thought it would be pretty to get a tiny little stud put in my nose, but for the past few years it would have been inappropriate at my office. Now that I work at a place where no one would care, I'm still a little hesitant because, well, I kinda wonder if I'm not getting just a titch too old.
For this week's poll:
Do you have any tattoos or piercings? If so, why did you get them? Have you ever regretted them? Lastly, at almost 28 years old, is it too late for me to get my nose pierced?
Comment and discuss.

For this week's poll, a meme that's part of the Lit Flicks Challenge (see my post here):
1. Are you more likely to see a movie if it's based on a book?
2. Do you prefer to read the book first or see the movie first?
3. List one movie that was better than the book it's based on, and one book that is better than the movie.
4. In your opinion, what film is the most accurate representation of the book?

From a conversation Sweet Husband and I had a few days ago, for this week's poll:

Last weekend Sweet Husband met an internet-scooter-forum-friend in person. I wasn't terribly worried about it--Sweet Husband's a big guy who can take care of himself--but all the same I did tell him if they were going to be more than a few hours to give me a check-in call so I would know he wasn't lying in a ditch somewhere.
Apparently they hit it off fairly well. The guy was very nice and there was not the slightest danger of him leaving my Sweet Husband in a ditch, so that was good. I believe they left off with plans to go scooter riding again sometime.
This all started me thinking--I've never met one of my online friends in person. Sure, there are people I was friends with in the real world first that I now communicate with online, but never the opposite. (Well, except I guess I met Nemmie after meeting her on Daring Bakers, but I knew her brother from high school so that really doesn't count.)
I can attribute this partly to distance, as many people I know online are prohibitively far away. But I also wonder if it doesn't have a little bit to do with being a little nervous about meeting people in person. Not nervous in the afraid-I-might-end-up-in-a-ditch way, but nervous because, well, y'all (excepting those who actually know me in-the-flesh) know the online version of me. The me that generally tries to look nice in pictures and present myself as a rational, put-together human being. Not the me that get obnoxious zits every so often even though I'm 27, and wears her husband's boxers to the grocery store, and...yeah.
For this week's Wednesday poll:
Have you ever met an online friend in the real world? How'd it go? If not, would you want to meet one of your online friends if the circumstance presented itself? Or do you prefer to maintain your internet mystique?
Comment and discuss.

Last week I was watching some Olympics gymnastics, and one of the announcers said an American gymnast was the best in the world at a particular move on the vault. Think about that--she is better at something than anyone else in the entire world. How does she get over the excitement of that enough to go to sleep each night? And let's not even get started on Michael Phelps!
For this week's poll:
If you could be better than anyone else in the entire world at just one thing, what would it be? Is there something you think you might be better at than most of the world?

The Perseid meteor shower is this week. It's one of my favorite summer events. I can remember going out as a little kid with my Dad to watch it. We'd wait until about midnight, when it was good and dark, and bundle up with our lawn chairs and some hot cocoa. (This was in California, it gets chilly there at night unlike in the steamy Midwest.) Then we'd drive out away from the city lights, and watch--mostly in silent awe--for hours.
If you've never done it I encourage you to try some night. The shower peaked in the wee-smalls of Tuesday morning, but there still should be plenty to see for the rest of this week, at least. Here's some more info.
And for this week's poll:
What is your favorite summer tradition or memory?

The office I work in handles a large bulk of the criminal appeals in Kansas, so, chances are, if you stick around long enough, you will eventually be involved in a case that makes a significant change in the law. Nonetheless, about, oh, once every few weeks, I find out one of my co-workers wrote a brief or argued in a case that's really important, and I turn into a little starstruck groupie.
"You mean [insert name of groundbreaking case] was you?!? Wow...."
Although no one is Johny-Cochran-famous, they're all kind of famous-to-me. I can only hope that someday I too will be a legal rock star.
For this week's poll:
Who is someone who is famous-to-you and why? Ever had a brush with someone famous in the more conventional sense? If you could meet one famous person (famous-famous or famous-to-you) who would it be?
Comment and discuss.

Last week. I read the book Plenty: One Man, One Woman, and a Raucous Year of Eating Locally. Of course, eating locally for an entire year involves a certain amount of work in preserving summer's bounty to tide over the winter. But, after a long day of jam making, one of the authors, Alisa, had this observation:
Making jam had taken all afternoon and evening, but the last thing I'd call it was work.
It was living.
Made me think about a lot of things that I sometimes consider "work"--going to the store, weeding the garden, cleaning the house. Although sometimes I might rather be doing other things, once I get over the fact that these jobs are "chores", I do get satisfaction from picking out good produce, plucking out weeds, sweeping the floor....
For this week's poll:
What is something that's "work" (work to you, or something others would consider work) that you enjoy once you get into it enough to forget about the label?
Comment and discuss.

Judge Joan Campbell's release reveals that a total of six undercover officers were assigned to monitor Occupy Austin, but three were apparently not involved directly in the lockbox incident where undercover Austin police built lockbox devices. Made from PVC pipes and also known as sleeping dragons or dragon sleeves, lockboxes linked seven protesters together at the December 12, 2011 Port of Houston shutdown. The use of these devices resulted in these occupiers from Austin, Dallas and Houston facing felony charges instead of the misdemeanors brought against those who simply linked their arms and legs.

Today is a little-known holiday called Thanksgiving. On behalf of the staff here at SEN, I strongly urge you to eat and drink dangerous amounts of consumables endlessly throughout the day. We're thankful for our loyal and lazy members that make this community great and unproductive respectively. Look at that turkey! I should be an animator.
Posted by: Roy
A Simple Introduction
Staredit Network is celebrating it's 11-year anniversary this year, a feat most early members probably never expected to happen. Despite starting as a forum devoted to finding the secrets of the StarCraft editor (and in some cases breaking StarCraft), SEN has evolved into a much larger entity as a community and social network. It became more about forming friendships, sharing ideas, and supporting others in their endeavors, as well as ripping one another apart in heated (and ultimately futile) Serious Discussion debates. There are members who have had the chance to meet in person, have helped one another in long Skype chats, or have taken the opportunity to give sincere advice when others are in need. That is what made Staredit Network important to me. When maintaining SEN was passed down to me, I was met with a lot of questions about how I'd save the forum or somehow make it popular again. When I agreed to take over, I can honestly say that wasn't my main concern and perhaps things would have been different if it was. Instead I was more interested in attempting to preserve what I had loved about the community and what made the community important to me. We do what we do because we value this website, the community, and the connections we've made here. Working on, maintaining, paying for, and moderating Staredit Network is very much a labor of love for us. And I'm very proud to share the next version of SEN, almost completely re-coded from scratch by Devourer. What's New in v6? We know there will be bugs, but we've been painstakingly squashing them for months now to bring you the most polished version of SEN we could. Of course if any new bugs are found, please post them in our new Bug Report thread as Devourer will have a better idea now how to fix them. One of the biggest things Devourer set out to do was create a much faster and less buggy SEN. By building SEN from scratch, he's been able to accomplish that better than we would have imagined. Based on Google Pagespeed checks, the old SEN was running with a score of 19/100 with very little optimization and all sorts of errors. This new and improved SEN is running at 93/100, with the best optimization we could provide. And it works well on mobile, too! AJAX. AJAX, Everywhere! We've decided to lean toward full AJAX navigation. We felt this gave the navigation a much smoother feel, and allowed us to play with the idea of updating certain things in realtime. This should allow for a more fluid experience going from page to page, as well as allowing you to park on a page and not having to refresh constantly for a new notification or Shout. Of course this may also be annoying to you, so we've given you the option to disable it in your Settings. In regards to your Settings, you may also notice that they have all been reset. This is mostly to have you re-acclimate yourself with what has changed, and make sure you prepare yourself for all the new things SEN has to offer. Keep in mind this also means your time settings have changed, so be sure to set that. One thing to note is that thanks to AJAX, you will now find a small icon in the top left of the window that will act as a notification marker. If you receive a new PM or a new post is made in a thread you subscribe to or you are greeted with moderation, that icon will notify you of something new. Private Messaging We've made a few changes to the PM system. First and foremost, PMs are no longer capped. You won't have to worry about clearing your inbox or buying more space. If you are interested in cleaning and sorting, however, we've made some new additions that would help with that. You now have the option to create new folders to store PMS, as well as create rules to help automatically sort incoming messages from certain members into specific folders. This is a very basic system for now, but should interest arise, we can explore updating and upgrading it. The New Shoutbox The Shoutbox is the most used feature on SEN, and therefore we've tried our best to make it the best it can be. As mentioned above, all Shouts will now post in realtime. That's perhaps the biggest and most needed update. We've also taken it a step further and allowed members to quote Shouts. Currently this system only works on the first page of the Shoutbox, though we're working on a solution to allow you to select quotes from any and all pages. We've also updated the way searches work in the Shoutbox, allowing you to find the context of a search result and jump to that Shout's exact location on a page. You will probably also notice that all old Shouts are now gone. We will eventually be creating an old archive database of v5 Shouts for members to browse, so they aren't lost forever! Search Speaking of searching, SEN's general search function now works. And hey, there's the ability to perform a quick search as well! Performing a regular search may still have a bit of a delay, but it should no longer cripple the server or cause all sorts of mySQL errors. Skins You may have also noticed the look of SEN has changed. We have four skins to start with, the default now being JamaL's design from so long ago. We settled on this skin because, frankly, it's simple but still looks great. When JamaL first posted it years ago, it was met with a whole lot of enthusiasm. We were equally enthusiastic to use it for v6, and show it off as the new SEN. Over time we will add more (and probably port old ones over), but as always we ask you to be patient as we do so. The DLDB and v4 Wiki We've also made some aesthetic changes to the DLDB and the original SENv4 wiki. The DLDB now gives you a preview of the maps with a working rating and number of downloads, in addition to a small window showing off some older and perhaps forgotten projects. The system has been remade to focus more on showing off the maps first rather than seating the small image next to a perhaps lengthy description. The SENv4 Wiki was a fantastic resource, and unfortunately has been buried for too long. We've now made it more accessible by listing all old articles when you go to the Wiki page. We are still going to use MediaWiki for our SC1 and SC2 resources, but at least all the old work is easily accessible. The Store and Games The store has some minor changes, including new items being added. For the most part, the store now contains cosmetic improvements. We've added things like name glows and prefixes and suffixes (as clans have been removed), to help make your name stand out. The Raffle has changed back to a similar system as before with a starting jackpot for a higher payout. The time between drawings has increased, however, giving more members a chance to participate for a higher reward. Ideally this should allow for more interesting raffle results, as well as prevent one or two members from raking in all those sweet sweet minerals due to lack of participation. The Magic Boxes have also changed, though mostly aesthetically. Boxes are now revealed as they are chosen, as well as showing who chose them without having to hover over them. We've added more combinations of boxes making each reset allot an equal amount of minerals. One combination even has a massive payout box, but at the cost of more 0 boxes.

Bran Castle
- Ensemble:
- Format:
- Series:
Bran Castle composed by William Owens (1963-). For string orchestra. Orchestra. FJH Developing Strings. Score only. Full set (score and parts) also available: ST6191. Grade 2. Score only. Duration 2 minutes. Published by The FJH Music Company Inc (FJ.ST6191S).
Travel to the mountains of Romania in this work that depicts the site of Bran Castle, better known now as Dracula's Castle. The dark harmonic character of the work tells the tale of a forgotten past while a haunting melody portrays the very Prince Vlad Dracula of Wallachia. Students will certainly be enticed by this enchanting work!
Bran Castle in Transylvania is perched atop a rocky peak deep in the Carpathian Mountains of Romania. It was once the home of Prince Vlad Dracula of Wallachia, who seized power in 1456 and ruled his domain by fear and terror. During Prince Vlad's reign, Bran Castle was the setting for thousands of executions and grisly acts. The infamous venue would eventually become better known as Dracula's Castle. The work begins briskly and tensely before developing into a haunting melodic line, reminiscent of Bran Castle's historic infamy. The harmonic character of the music is largely in the minor mode. Each section of the ensemble is briefly featured.
About FJH Developing Strings
Slightly more advanced than Beginning Strings, this series begins to involve more position work and a slightly more complex rhythmic figures. Rehearsal piano is often provided. Ideal for middle school and smaller high school programs. Grade 2 - 2.5
