Governor Perry Says "Bombs Going Off In El Paso"
POSTED: Monday, August 2, 2010 - 9:25pm
UPDATED: Tuesday, August 3, 2010 - 4:49pm
Texas Governor Rick Perry has mis-characterized the bombings in Juarez, referring to them twice now as "bombs going off in El Paso".
Here is what Perry said while speaking in Laredo about border violence.
"When the Governor candidate of Tamaulipas is assassinated across the border, when a car bomb goes off in El Paso and when we have intersections blocked in Nuevo Laredo and gun battles raging, there's a problem."
Perry was likely referring to the car bomb that went off in Juarez two weeks ago. He also referred to those bombs going off on the streets of El Paso during an interview with Fox News.
Comments News Comments
Welcome to Cuidad El Paso, the most northern city of mexico. Thats what our elected officials obviously want this city to be.
The city to where you can't even get a job at McD's unless you know spanish. The city that is trying to get the street lights to be just like mexico. Theres already a pilot program taking place in the NE. The place i see more mexico flags being flown then our own.
So i can see how the confusion of our city being Juarez could take place.
This guy is a clown! its all about him trying to get more federal dollars. Its sad he has to add to the perception that the violence is now in El Paso:(

I'm not as glad to see a new Hap and Leonard novel as I am to be able to read Lansdale's excellent dialog between these two and with anyone else that gets in their way. Christopher Moore makes me laugh with his innane situations and character dialog – but Lansdale has Hap and Leonard, two tough guys who are either getting their butts kicked or are doing the same to others, talking trash to one another all through the story. Their dialog is hilarious, and dead-on for two guys who have known each other forever, long enough to give each other a line of bull about each and every subject.
As usual, Hap and Leonard's warped sense of honor gets them into trouble, this time trying to free the granddaughter of their former-cop friend Marvin from her drug dealer boyfriend. They do so with a lot of fists and one bullet, then throw the boyfriends cocaine down the toilet. This gets them on the bad side of the Dixie Mafia. The boyfriend and his posse come after Hap, Leonard and Hap's girlfriend Brett while they are trying to get Brett, Marvin and his family out of town. Lots of people get shot, all of them the bad guys. This gets the threesome thrown in jail, and then into a plot with the FBI to help one of the Dixie Mafia middle layer guys get his son back so that the middle layer guy will turn over names and places of the Dixie Mafia to the FBI.

Only a small number of Se�or Zafon's books have be translated into English, including this latest one. The translator, Lucia Graves, must be given due credit for making Zafon's writing as enjoyable in English as I am certain they are in their native Spanish; I am attempting to read his other books in their native Spanish, slogging through with my dictionary at my side.
It is apparent that Zafon is not only an excellent writer, but enjoys the process of writing, and of reading. He once again includes the fascinating setting that is The Cemetery of Forgotten Books, where all books have a home, a biblioholics dream come true; Sempere and Sons bookstore, where the proprietor puts his love of books and finding them a home above business and revenue, plays a key role (Daniel Sempere is, of course, the main character of The Shadow of the Wind; and, from the very first paragraph, the love and pain of authorship is at the forefront: (more…)
The very first Doc Savage novel (unless you are counting chronologically the Philip Jose Farmer authored Escape from Loki) is, as it should be, an origin story, showing how Clark Savage, Jr., returning from his Fortress of Solitude and finding his father dead and possibly murdered from a disease called the Red Death, embarks on a mission with his five fellow adventurers to find the legacy his father left him, and to track down his murderer. The trail, including clues left by his father, take him to the Central American country of Hidalgo, to the Valley of the Vanished and a tribe of Mayan Indians. Doc's father left him legal documents stating that he has a claim there. But Savage has barriers put between him and his destiny by Mayans with red-tipped fingers, the warriors led by a villain masked as Kukulcan, the Feathered Serpent. The Secretary of State of the Republic of Hidalgo tries to deny the claim, but the President, who was sick and healed by Doc's father, supports Savage. The group heads to the Valley of the Vanished, where the meet with King Chaac and his daughter, the lovely Princess Monja. The warriors with red-tipped fingers try to stop them from learning more from the tribe, and battle/treachery ensues. (more…)

Top 5 Scariest Enemies in Gaming (In My Opinion)
Hello everyone! Zachary "Crash" Ronson here. I'm a big fan of horror video games, be they action horror like Dead Space or survival horror like Silent Hill, and one of the things I like about horror in video games especially is the enemies. Everything from bog-standard zombies to eldritch abominations from beyond the veil of time and space, even to the little subtle horrors that take everyday objects and occurrences and make something nightmarish out of them; I like a good scare. So I thought I'd list five of what I feel are the most terrifying video game antagonists, measured on a scale of "nopes" out of ten. Anything from major characters and bosses to lowly common horrors; it's all equal-opportunity horror here! I've taken a couple suggestions from my colleagues, but most of these will be based on my own gaming experiences. So without further ado here are the top 5 scariest enemies in gaming, in my opinion.
Warning: There may be unmarked spoilers ahead! Read at your own risk.
5. Dr. Richard Trager – Outlast (2013)
Red Barrels' excellent 2013 independent first-person horror game Outlast was a scary game where scary things happened. One of the scariest parts of the game was the encounter with Dr. Richard Trager. The bad doctor is one of the few lucid characters in the game, coming off as almost affable even when he's doing unspeakably cruel things to you and the other asylum denizens. In a game where you're constantly being pursued by an ex-military police member who can rip your head off, a terrifying vision of a thing called "The Walrider", and various other asylum horrors, Trager stands out as something truly terrifying despite only appearing for a short time. What makes him so terrifying is that people like him actually exist, and while some of the less realistic enemies that I'm going to list are a little higher up on my own personal list of horrors, Dr. Trager is certainly the most tangible and believable one on my list. And we wouldn't have it any other way.
Verdict: 8 out of 10 nopes.
4. Nemesis – Resident Evil 3: Nemesis (1999)
One of the definitions of the word "nemesis" is defined as "an opponent or rival whom a person cannot best or overcome". Nemesis, the main antagonist of Resident Evil 3: Nemesis, is very aptly named when keeping that usage of the word in mind. He's extraordinarily persistent, deadly, and worst of all: Is specifically programmed to hunt down and destroy the Special Tactics and Rescue Service (S.T.A.R.S) that main character Jill Valentine belongs to. The first encounter sticks out in my mind despite having not played the game in years; the sudden appearance of Nemesis as he kills your wounded squadmate, the snap decision to either stay and fight him or run away, and the sheer amount of punishment he takes before finally going down if you choose to fight him. The victory is short lived, though, as he continues to live up to his namesake and attack you over the course of the game. For his sheer persistence and his terrifying first encounter, Nemesis deserves his spot on this list.
Verdict: 8.5 out of 10 nopes.

Zac Efron plays a bit actor who is cast in an Orson Welles play. (CinemaNX Films One)
A thoroughly enjoyable film that wraps a coming-of-age story around the portrait of a genius, versatile director Richard Linklater's "Me and Orson Welles" features a downright brilliant performance.
In fact, previously unknown actor Christopher McKay is so mesmerizing in his performance as the young, brash, impetuous, selfish, childish and undeniably brilliant Orson Welles that he threatens to ruin the movie by flying above it. You never want to see him leave the screen, so you almost resent it when the plot wanders elsewhere. Yeah, you think, sure, love story, fine -- but can we get back to Welles?
Zac Efron plays Richard Samuels, a 17-year-old in 1937 New York with vague dreams of being a performer when he stumbles into a bit part in Welles' groundbreaking theatrical production of "Julius Caesar."
As we've learned from countless films, theater is a chaotic process, made far more chaotic than normal here by Welles' grand visions and gargantuan ego. Richard falls in love with an ambitious theater assistant (Claire Danes) ... but enough of that, let's talk about Welles.
McKay's performance is florid and exhilarating, so bold you feel you're watching the real Welles. And the screenplay by Holly Gent Palmo perfectly captures the fierce nature of the man. He manipulates, he chastises, yells and betrays, all in the name of art, but also in the name of Orson.
As Welles fades and Richard's love trials wind down, it's easy to wish the romance had been cut from the film. But it's needed for human balance -- Efron brings a young charm to balance Welles' voice-of-God confidence.
Built in is our knowledge that Welles' couldn't maintain the fire of his youth. But "Me and Orson Welles" at least offers some of that heat.

Chemical-free products lead deep-cleansing raids upon dirt-infested carpets beneath the seasoned supervision of Mother Nature's technicians. Eagle-eyed purifiers inspect each room for stains, odors, and obvious traffic patterns, which could be a sign of excess dirt tracked in by shoes or door-to-door dirt salesmen. Furniture takes a rare vacation to an adjacent room as human-friendly compounds pretreat entrenched grime or spots before a hot-water extraction system boils away mold, mildew, and spots. Guided by their noses, customers choose the deodorizer or protector that best befits their home, as floor doctors restore the room's rightful order, occasionally placing protective pads between the freshly cleaned carpet and grubby-fingered couches.

Many participating dry cleaners offer pickup and delivery and perform premium services including alterations, leather cleaning, and wedding gown preservation.
Far more than an emporium of colorful textile patterns, Urban Burp holds over 5 tons of vintage fabric dating back to the early 20th century, collecting original vintage threads that weave memory and nostalgia into their very fabric. The studio takes its unusual name from the intense experience of recognition that seeing and touching a piece of familiar pattern can bring. "All that emotion has been shoved down into the lower chakras and all of a sudden it takes one piece of fabric to bring you back to that place," owner Electra Skilandat told The San Francisco Chronicle. She continues to elicit that response with bolts of cloth decorated with the floral designs and abstract art of the 1920s, or the bold color mixtures and fractal patterns that were popular in the '50s and '60s.
Skilandat traces her love affair with textile design back to her childhood in Boston, where her mother lovingly hand-crafted all of her clothes for school and play. Over the years, Electra amassed a collection of over 1,000 bolts of fabric and experience in interior decor. After the death of her only son, she rediscovered her creative instincts, opening the fabric shop with upholstery and drapery services that would precede Urban Burp's stunning display of warp and weft. As guests peruse the studio's ample supply of original vintage pictorial and patterned designs, sewing patterns, and notions, Skilandat unfurls her decades of wisdom during interior decor consultations.

Gear Review
All in one ollie pop
This board has so many amazing things going for it!
Roxy is in a unique place being manufactured at Mervin Mfg. She get's to pick from all the best materials from her bigger brothers, Gnu and Lib Tech.
For starters, the graphic is spot on. No better Women's graphic out there.
It uses the light weight, poppy Columbian Gold wood and Some Basalt Fibers for strength and dampening. Biaxal glass on top and triaxel on bottom for a unique blend of responsiveness and playfullness. TNT SINTERED base that can go longer between waxing and always stays fast.
C2 for end to end stability and tracking at high speeds or rotating off kickers.
This board is a bit more of a freestyle geometry, but loves to venture off into the woods and back bowls.
You wont be disappointed!

The Message (MSG) | New International Version (NIV) |
15 Rehoboam turned a deaf ear to the people. God was behind all this, confirming the message that he had given to Jeroboam son of Nebat through Ahijah of Shiloh. | 15 So the king did not listen to the people, for this turn of events was from the LORD, to fulfill the word the LORD had spoken to Jeroboam son of Nebat through Ahijah the Shilonite. |

This massive hotel's marble lobby, with its reflecting copper ceiling, clubby leather chairs, and frilly potted palms, has a feeling of grandeur. The nicely renovated rooms are spacious and have modern touches like wall-mounted flat-screen TVs; many of the freshly redone have walk-in showers. For the best views, insist on a room with a balcony on the 5th floor or highter. The two swimming pools, fitness center, and children's playground are great assets. The nearby light
rail whisks you Downtown.

Hi Guys: I've just been reading an interview by GRRM, within which he mentions (and praises) Michael Chabon. He cites Chabon in the context of arguing that fantasy books are more than able to show high literary standards. What views do people have of Chabon? Personally, in terms of fantasy authors who reach a high "literary standard" my pick would probably be Guy Gavriel Kay. Although honestly, my priority is great characters, a believable world, and ideally some heroism and romance; I don't want any literary pretensions getting in the way of that! Coragem.
Mmm. "High literary standards" is a phrase that (whether it should or not) sort of suggests deadly dull and pretentious, doesn't it... I've only read a couple of Michael Chabon's books, but that was because I got side-tracked as I was following them up, not because I didn't like them (the rest are sitting on my 'to read' pile). I would say, though, that the ones I have read were absolutely wonderful. 'The Amazing Adventures of Kavalier and Clay' is one of the best books I have ever read. It's wonderfully written and utterly gripping. It might be really clever (I couldn't possibly comment, I was too caught up in the adventures to notice) but I didn't spot any literary pretensions and if there were any they didn't get in the way of the story. (You could argue that Ishiguro has high literary standards as well, but I haven't read a book that freaked me out so thoroughly as 'Never Let Me Go' for a very very long time). I love Guy Gavriel Kay too.
I thought Chabon's The Yiddish Policeman's Union was a brilliant mix of noir-ish detective story and alternative history. The Amazing Adventures of Kavalier and Clay was frequently brilliant, although I thought the story started to drag a bit towards the end and it felt a bit disjointed due to the large jumps in time. The other Chabon book I've read is Gentlemen of the Road, which was a fun adventure story, although it doesn't have the same depth that the other two do.
I haven't read Chabon, but there are many examples of "literary fiction" that use fantasy SF tropes. One example might be Thomas Pynchon. "Gravity's Rainbow" and "Vineland" are strange, wonderful novels. a
I've read The Yiddish Policemen's Union and Gentlemen of the Road and the thought the first was a few orders of magnitude better than the second. Didn't care for the flowery prose in the latter book one bit.
Chabon has a quote about Jack Vance in the NY times magazine article entitled the "Genre Artist". I'd post a link but I reckon I can't yet on account I'm a new poster. If you search for "Ny times magazine jack vance" it will show up. Anyhow the article delves into the question of literature and sci-fi quite a bit, you might find it interesting. Here's the Chabon quote: "Jack Vance is the most painful case of all the writers I love who I feel don't get the credit they deserve. If 'The Last Castle' or 'The Dragon Masters' had the name "Italo Calvino" on it, or just a foreign name, it would be received as a profound meditation, but because he's Jack Vance and published in Amazing Whatever, there's this insurmountable barrier." The article is about Vance, written by a prof. Chabon has a couple of more quotes in the artricle, and there's something from Dan Simmons a few others, about how they really dig Vance.
I've only read The Yiddish Policemens' Union. I didn't particularly see any literary pretensions. It was a good read, solid characters and all that. I liked the alternate history setting and the sense of failure and despair it kind of creates amongst the 'people' (I'm avoiding spoilers here). I felt the wrap up was a little bit Hollywood. I wouldn't see it as being high literature, I think there are plenty of others who can lay claim to that first (PKD, Pynchon (as mentioned), and so on).
The Yiddish Policemen's Union was weaker than i expected. I dont buy into mainstream mag general fiction hype. I thought he sound interesting what his books is about. I do wonder what the fans who posted here think is his best book ? I will give him a second and final chance just because i too read that Genre Artist about Vance greatness, originality. He knows his truly great literature and not only the hyped foreign mainstream names.
Impressive. Yourself and Nesacat..maybe JD are the only people I know who have read the entire text. I have a copy but am yet to embark upon the journey. It's viewed by several critics as a masterpiece but by still more people as 'unreadable' perhaps a little dare I say like Joyces' Ulysees (especially if you don't have the appropriate anontated/academic edns at hand)? Back on topic I know of Chabon of course and The Yiddish Policemens' Union but I'm sorry to say I'ver never read it. Perhaops I should give it a go?

Motion-picture directing
In the great age of the studio system (1927–48), strong directors vied with the factory conditions in which films were made. Those directors with powerful personalities (such as Frank Capra, Howard Hawks, John Ford, and Ernst Lubitsch) were given great freedom, but they still had to work with actors and actresses contracted to the studio, with union personnel following time-honoured...

If the coming of sound changed the aesthetic dynamics of the filmmaking process, it altered the economic structure of the industry even more, precipitating some of the largest mergers in motion-picture history.

Converting an attic to a bedroom is easier with the right flooring
Converting an attic to a bedroom is easier with the right flooring
While many homes may use the attic for storage, it can also be used as a functional living space. Converting an attic to a bedroom can be simple, as long as homeowners follow a few tips from interior design experts.
The Clarksdale Press Register suggests a simple decor with furniture suitable to the space. Less is more, as clutter will make the room feel smaller, and a monochromatic scheme of light colors may help to open up the space.
To avoid a dark living space, as attics may have smaller, pre-existing windows and dim overhead lighting, the news source recommends installing a skylight, which will provide ample natural light during daytime hours, and recessed lighting for evening use.
Finally, homeowners should pay attention to the flooring. "Light colored wood flooring will provide the best aesthetics for making small spaces look larger," according to the news outlet.
Wood flooring is also easier to maintain than carpet, as a vacuum may be hard to maneuver in a smaller living area.
According to InvitingHome.com, adding an extra bedroom or guest room to one's home can increase its resale value and may even speed up the house's sale as the property will appeal to a larger segment of the market.

Convoy isn't holding though.Convoy isn't holding or attacking, it's just landing a group of troops. So it was basically 3 Italian fleets against 2 French Fleets and 1 French transport Fleet.
You can't do two things at once, you cannot hold and convoy at the same time. Besides, the convoy fleet is already in Tuscany, how can it move and then come back in one turn? Thats like me attacking NA with 1-2 fleets and then moving it to Gascony or such.
And yeah I already agreed with Turkey about taking Italian lands since it narrows the the front that Italia has to be fighting,plus it begins the transaction of who fights mainly who.
and athe thing with Russia, Turkish army from Livonia and Turkish Moscow both hit St. Petersburg. ST. Petersburg was not supported. So it was 2 Turkish armies vs 1 Russian army. Russia got Livonia, but they should have lost St. Petersburg from the fact that neither Sweden nor Prussia was supporting St. Petersburg disengage the Turks, so Turkey should have St. Petersburg, Russia has a unit in Livonia but Turkey should have St.Petersburg.

Last month, my boyfriend Patrick and I drank a bottle of Jim Beam at the lake and decided to get married. When we peeled our faces off a sticky, half-deflated air mattress the next morning, we asked ourselves two questions: first, did we still want to get married, and second, how about some Taco Bell? Yes to both, thank you.
Eventually the time came for parental phone calls, and mine were excited and curious: where would our wedding be? When? Several minutes into the call, I heard my mom muse, almost absent-mindedly, "Andrea Hislastname …." She didn't ask if I would be changing my last name; she simply said what she believed my new name would be, just to see how it rolled off her tongue.
Patrick's family did ask about changing my name, at least. And I told them: no, I'm not changing my name. For that matter, neither is Patrick. Of course, most folks would never think to ask if a guy might change his name upon marriage. It's just not done in this country — and once I learned why, I became more sure than ever that I would never be anyone but Andrea Grimes. Keep reading »

Libraries serve up more than books; they dish out a generous helping of activities, classes and programs designed to deliver lifelong learning. Just ask anyone who's ever used a library to learn Italian, operate a computer or take a field trip for grown-ups.
These services — which are usually free or low-cost — are especially valuable now, according to Brenda Brown, manager at the Downtown Library in Chandler. "When people spend all their money on gasoline and can't afford to take their family out every weekend, we see them coming into the libraries. They're great entertainment on a budget," she says.
East Valley libraries offer up a smorgasbord of air-conditioned options for children and adults this summer, from reptile exhibits and puppet shows to Japanese drum performances and singles outings. See what's on the menu by checking each library's online events calendar; Web site addresses are given below, as is a taste of the season's specials.

To put it simply, Dolly Parton is a force of nature. She is the single most successful female country artist of all time--selling over 100 million records--and she's living up to that title at a fabulous 68 years old. She's invincible.
Apparently The Today Show loves her almost as much as we do. Here she is, strutting her stuff to promote the release of her 42nd album (!!!). Besides being a total BAMF, she is so impossibly adorable and kind that if you don't watch her woo all of America in just 5 minutes, you are definitely missing out.

Charlotte's push to steer affordable housing to middle-class neighborhoods faces its latest test on Tuesday, as the City Council plans a rezoning vote that would allow 70 low-income apartments in a south Charlotte community.
Three years ago, the city adopted a new policy intended to redirect construction of low-income housing. The goal: to disperse subsidized housing from east and west Charlotte to areas where few, if any, such homes exist.
But the upcoming vote is expected to be close. Defeat would represent a setback for the city's housing goals and expose shortcomings of the 3-year-old policy.
The Charlotte Mecklenburg Housing Partnership, the nonprofit developer, said the apartments at Weddington Road are needed for employees who already work at businesses in far southeast Charlotte. Currently, there are no such units in the area.
Julie Porter, president of the partnership, said prospective tenants drive a considerable distance to get to their jobs. "We hope this will cut down on time they travel," Porter said. "These are service workers. They can't afford to live near where they work."
Neighbors have mounted fierce opposition. At a public hearing in December, nearly 300 people packed the council chambers, saying the project is unsuitable for the area. Many carried signs saying "Weddington Road Says No to the Rezone."
Michael Kelley, homeowners association president of Willowmere, adjacent to the site, said the biggest problems are overwhelmed roads and sidewalks.
A nearby charter school, Socrates Academy, has also protested the rezoning. School officials have said they worry their parking lot will be used by apartment visitors.
"It all comes under the idea of infrastructure," Kelley said. "This is an area that has developed rapidly like a lot of parts of Charlotte have. There just isn't enough support for some of this higher density development."
Tuesday's vote comes after two other south Charlotte affordable housing projects drew strong opposition and were rejected by council members or thwarted by residents.
City Council's District 7, which covers Ballantyne and other neighborhoods south of Pineville-Matthews Road, including the Weddington Road site, has no subsidized housing, according to the city.
The partnership wants to rezone 7.2 acres zoned for uses such as day care centers.
Almost all the apartments would be for what the city calls "workforce housing" aimed at families of four earning up to $38,500 a year, which is 60 percent of the area's median income.
Seven apartments would be for families of four earning 30 percent of the median income, which is $19,250.
For the residents earning 60 percent of median income, Porter said the rents would range from $700 to $900 a month for two- and three-bedroom apartments. The cheaper two- and three-bedroom apartments would be between $450 and $650 a month.
Carley Ruff of the N.C. Housing Coalition in Raleigh said not-in-my-backyard complaints commonly accompany efforts to build low-income housing. Nearby residents often focus on a project's negative impact to traffic rather than on having low-income workers nearby.
"It's important to hear what neighbors have to say," Ruff said. "But a lot of people aren't familiar with what modern affordable housing is."
She said federally subsidized apartments can be held to higher standards than market-rate complexes, with provisions such as background checks for residents.
"Typically there is an outcry, but after the project is built you don't hear from the neighbors again," she said.
New policy
The City Council last year approved an $816 million capital spending program that includes $60 million for affordable housing.
Pamela Wideman, housing services manager for the city of Charlotte, said the money should allow the city to build as many as 6,000 housing units through 2020 – if it can find suitable locations.
"Money won't be the issue," Wideman said. "The issue is acceptance. What we're really trying to do is offer diverse types of housing so people can live close to employment centers."
Changing the housing locational policy was a priority of former Mayor Anthony Foxx, who wanted to break up clusters of poverty. The policy tries to restrict the construction of subsidized housing in areas where it already exists.
But the policy is only a guideline for City Council members. City staff and elected officials have declined to consider creating what's known as "mandatory inclusionary zoning." That requires developers to include some affordable units in all developments.
The town of Davidson has such mandatory zoning, but it has been extremely controversial in Charlotte, in part because of pushback from developers, who say it will make their properties less marketable and more costly.
The city's elected officials have also been divided on how to spend housing money.
In 2012, a city-hired consultant, Atlanta-based Noell Consultant Group, said the city's biggest need is building housing for the very poorest residents. At the time, Foxx said the city could get "the biggest bang for its buck" by building housing for those earning 30 percent or less of the area median income of about $64,100.
The city recently helped support a $2.2 million expansion of Moore Place north of uptown, which houses chronically homeless residents.
The consultant said the city has a shortfall of more than 15,000 units for those earning less than 30 percent of the area median income, but has a small surplus – roughly 10,000 units – for people earning more than 60 percent of area median income.
While there may be a surplus of so-called workforce housing, there are few of those apartments in south Charlotte's affluent areas.
That is the so-called "workforce housing" that is targeted for Weddington Road.
Neighborhood opposition
Bringing low-income housing to middle class and affluent areas has been difficult.
• In February 2010, the Charlotte Housing Authority decided against pursuing a plan to build 86 low-income apartments at Providence Road West and Johnston Road.
Hundreds of residents protested. The project was also derailed by the revelation that a CHA employee was a business partner of the private developers who proposed the project.
• In fall 2010, the Housing Partnership attempted to build 90 subsidized apartments in the Ayrsley community in southwest Charlotte. Neighbors also opposed that project, which needed a waiver because it was within a half-mile of another subsidized development, Summerfield. Council members rejected the waiver.
• Other projects near affluent areas have stalled for other reasons. In 2007, the city used $2 million of Housing Trust Fund money to help subsidize a planned mixed-use development with affordable housing near the Scaleybark light-rail station.
Peter Pappas, the developer, hasn't yet broken ground. He referred questions to the Housing Partnership, which he said is working on the affordable housing piece of the project.
• In early 2013, the City Council approved an incentive program that would allow developers to build more housing units than zoning allowed, as long as some of the apartments were for low-income workers.
This "density bonus" is seen as a way to encourage rather than require developers to build affordable housing. Wideman said the city has had some developers inquire about the proposal, but no one has asked to use it yet.
There have been some successes.
In September 2010, the City Council approved a redevelopment by the Charlotte Housing Authority of 17 acres that had housed its headquarters and other low-income housing off South Boulevard, adjacent to Dilworth.
Some residents opposed the project, saying the housing authority's plan for 1.2 million square feet of office, housing and retail was too large for the site. Some of the residential units would be set aside for affordable housing.
Dilworth residents said they had no problem living adjacent to affordable housing, but objected to the authority plans for so much market-rate development, which would dwarf nearby homes.
And in 2009, the Charlotte Housing Authority was able to include 36 subsidized apartments in the 176-unit Ashley Square complex near SouthPark mall.
Porter, of the partnership, said her group expected opposition for the Weddington Road project.
"I don't think we have been surprised," Porter said. "I think we have been extremely prepared for what we assumed would be the reaction. We made sure that the property would meet all of the (city requirements)."
Porter said the partnership looked at some land in Matthews that was already zoned for apartments. But she said it wasn't near a grocery store – an important requirement for securing federal tax credits that make the low-income units possible.
"We are constantly searching for property," she said.
Approval recommended
City staff and the Planning Commission have recommended the Weddington Road project be approved.
Because neighbors have filed what's known as a protest petition, the project needs nine of 12 council votes.
One council member, Democrat David Howard, has asked to be recused because he works for the Housing Partnership. That means if more than two council members vote no, the project dies.
Mayor Patrick Cannon will also be allowed to vote because of the protest petition.
Newly elected Republican Ed Driggs, who represents the area along Weddington Road, said he isn't sure how he will vote.
"It's a difficult decision clearly," Driggs said.
He said he recognizes the city's goal of dispersing low-income housing, but said he believes residential opposition must be considered.
"I think that their opposition gets short shrift," Driggs said.
John Autry, who represents east Charlotte, said he will decide Tuesday how he will vote.
"I will wait and hear the information and make a decision then," he said.

The Beaufort County Board of Education announced Tuesday that they will extend Superintendent Valerie Truesdale's contract for two years to June 30, 2013. They also announced they plan to delete a pay-for-performance clause from her contract. Also, future cost-of-living raises for Truesdale will be linked to the state-prescribed teacher pay increases.
Truesdale had already said she will forgo any pay-for-performance bonus in her 2008 evaluation, which is still underway due to its link to delayed standardized test results.

When The Melting Pot originally opened in 1975 just outside Orlando, the location was cozy and quaint, but diners had only three options: swiss-cheese fondue, beef fondue, or chocolate fondue. However, as the restaurant grew in popularity, so did its menu selection and atmosphere. The restaurant first expanded four years later under the leadership of a Melting Pot waiter and enterprising college student named Mark Johnston, who teamed up with his brothers Mike and Bob to open a new outpost in Tallahassee. This location grew in reputation to pave the way for future franchise expansion. Today, the company—now owned by the trio of siblings—reigns as the premier fondue, wine, and drink restaurant, stretching across North America with more than 140 restaurants linked by underground tunnels. The restaurant's menu has also ballooned, and patrons can now expect six varieties of hot dipping cheese paired with salads, meats, and molten chocolate.
On a given night, groups of foodies gather around tables to nosh on signature four-course meals, from cheese-fondue appetizers and various salads to steaks and seafood cooked in a choice of healthy broth or oil. Birthday revelers and couples can share decadent evenings at private tables, capping off meals with chocolate desserts that have defined The Melting Pot for decades.
After a few minutes inside L'Eiffel Bistrot & Creperie, visitors will be forgiven for thinking they've discovered a wormhole connecting them directly to Paris. The carefully sourced selections on the restaurant's lengthy wine list contribute to this sense of dislocation; so do special events such as wine tastings, fashion showcases, and the occasional peasant uprising.
The kitchen, however, is the biggest reason why one might unconsciously start humming the Amelie soundtrack. L'Eiffel's chefs make traditional French cuisine with organic ingredients, and those ingredients appear throughout the elegant entrees of roasted duck in orange sauce, braised beef in a Burgundy wine sauce, and fresh mussels. As for the bistro's namesake dish, crepes can land on the white tabecloths with savory country ham and swiss cheese or wine-poached salmon bundled inside.
Happenstance restaurateurs Rakesh and Sarina Chopra opened Sansaveria after a whirlwind excursion to the city of lights left them longing to bring the sights, sounds, and tastes of Paris back home with them. Meals commence with classic appetizers such as the baked onion soup ($5) or a French charcuterie plate, boasting a collection of cured meats, artisan cheeses, and multilingual croustades ($12). Pair plats principaux such as the garlic and herb sautéed steak Mediterranean ($27), or the wine-basted, caper-kissed sautéed tilapia carciofi ($19), with one of more than 40 wines, or choose any three by-the-glass options to sample a flight of fermented fancy. Suppers saunter toward their sugary conclusions with decadent delights including homemade bananas foster and Grand Marnier–filled crêpes ($7), or with sweet cocktails such as the creamy and indulgent choco-tini or a Sambuca Romana cordial—known for its impeccable manners.
In 1961, Bob Terese and Corinne Owen opened a small pet shop in downtown Chicago. Part of their mission: to employ workers with developmental disabilities so they can lead productive and fulfilling lives. That little pet shop has since relocated and expanded into a 70-acre campus called Lambs Farm, which has a variety of residential and vocational programs that continue to help those in need. Nearly 250 individuals live here today in group homes and individual apartments; they have access to employment opportunities and a number of recreational services, such as camping and hobby clubs. In addition to the expansive pet shop, the campus also has a farmyard, a bakery, and assorted shops that sell goods handcrafted by Lambs Farm residents.
Miramar Bistro pleases patrons with a high-concept menu that straddles French, Cuban, and American sensibilities. Dive in with herb-marinated olives ($6.50) or an artichoke terrine ($9.95), or opt to start with a crab, scallop, and lobster cake ($14.50), the preferred cake of birthday parties all over Atlantis. Sandwiches include Cuban ham and cheese ($9.50) and pressed chicken pesto ($8.75), as well as croque monsieur ($8.95) and croque madame ($9.95), often called the Mork and Mindy of cuisine. Steak au poivre ($25.95) is the stuff meaty dreams are made of, while a duo of short ribs and rack of lamb ($32) means cowboys and shepherds can finally break bread without also breaking into a blistering freestyle rap battle. A lunch menu is available to quell daytime appetite insurrections, and a Sunday brunch buffet helps pack maximum pleasure into precious weekend hours.

From the magazine's current issue:
More than one major transportation-based industry in America besides Detroit is on the ropes. For the fourth time in our history the ethanol industry has come undone and is quickly failing nationally. Of course it's one thing when Detroit collapsed with the economy; after all, that is a truly free-market enterprise and the economy hasn't been good. But the fact that the ethanol industry is going bankrupt, when the only reason we use this additive is a massive government mandate, is outrageous at best.
Then again, the ethanol lobby and refiners have a solution to ethanol's failure in America: Hire retired General Wesley Clark as your point man and lobby the government to increase the amount of ethanol in our fuel to 15%. The problems with that proposition are real—unlike ethanol's benefits.
Meanwhile, the Wall Street Journal reports:
The Obama administration on Tuesday will step up efforts to increase the availability of ethanol at filling stations and to speed up subsidies to struggling biofuel producers. But the trade-off is that the administration is also expected to propose a rule that could make certain biofuels look less climate-friendly.
At a news conference led by the heads of the Agriculture Department, Energy Department and Environmental Protection Agency, the administration is expected to announce the creation of an interagency group that will be charged with forging a plan to encourage the production of more automobiles that can run on high-level ethanol blends, and increase the availability of high-level ethanol blends at gasoline stations.

Haridas is a 2013 Tamil film starring Kishore and Sneha in the lead. It is directed by G.N.R.Kumaravelan of Ninaithale Inikkum and Yuvan Yuvathi fame. Musical score is by Vijay Antony.Sivadas (Kishore) the daring cop who gets ruthless against the local goon Aadhi (Pradeep Rawat) and is just miles away from nabbing the crook. However he is forced to leave the force for a while to take care of his autistic son, Haridas (Prithviraj Das) because of an unfortunate matter. With much difficulty he enrolls Haridas in a normal school where Amudhavalli (Sneha) is a teacher specialized to deal with special children.
Kishore dwells into the character of Sivadas a sorry father for not sparing time to his family, when it mattered most and tries to understand his son's problem step by step. He understands the fact that Autism is not a disease to brood over, it just needs the extra affection and care rather than feeling sympathetic. Over a period of time the bonding between the teacher and the student blossoms like a bright sunflower. Does the father succeed in lodging a room in his son's imagination, what happens forms the rest of the ploy.
