30 year old woman | Georgetown, TX, USA | Seeking men 28-35 within 50 miles
All you need is love
I am new to the Austin area and am looking forwa I was born and raised in Montana, and I think that made me a pretty friendly person. I can be a little shy at first, but once I sense that a person has good intentions I will be your new best friend. Being raised in Montana also means I grew up listening to country music, which was a big draw for coming to the Austin ard to meeting new people and having adventures. I want to meet new friends but if there is potential for something more that would be great. I want to explore this city for all the best parts, the live music, the food, the athletic atmosphere, and of course the friendly people, so if you are into planning activities that would be a bonus. I am laid back in that aspect that if something sounds interesting, I will almost always say yes.rea. I'm not strictly country though, I appreciate most other types of music though, and love to attend any sort of outdoor music event, and I most definitely love some booty shaking music when I am out dancing, at the club or just jamming out in my car sometimes, either or. I moved here for a job as a nanny and absolutely love it, except for there is limited opportunity for adult interaction and meeting new people. I enjoy my job, and know that I definitely want kids someday when I meet the right person. Without much opportunity so far in my job to meet grown-ups, It is giving me some time however to get back to doing what I love, which is running and working out. I am hoping to meet someone who also likes to try and stay fit because I see it as mutual motivation, and a potential passion that two people can share. I love sports. Playing or watching. Especially football. I love to spend my Sundays in the fall watching football. Can't wait to go to a few Longhorn games down here too. I like to golf, although being completely honest I am soooo not good. I want to get better because I hate being bad at things that I enjoy. If I list a few qualities about myself, I try to think of what my friends say about me, not what I would like to think of myself as. Kind, Loyal to a fault, fun, fun-loving, compassionate, funny, optimistic, and open, and a little bit of a free spirit, which sometimes I wish I could embrace that side of myself more. I take care of the people I love, and get great pleasure out of it. What I am hoping to find in a potential partner is ambition, a little zest for life, passions and hobbies, even if they are not all compatible with mine, that's fine, as long as there are things you enjoy doing, humor and kindness, and hopefully someone who is more take charge then I am. Looking forward to getting to know someone.....

Middle of the Road
Not sure yet, haven't explored the town enough to make any decisions on that yet.
My all-time favorite tv show is still Friends. I currently never miss Modern Family. I like Game of Thrones and True Blood on HBO, and yes, I also have read all the books in both of the series.
Listening to different types of music, enjoying a glass of wine, being in the sunshine, being on or near the water, movies, cooking, going out to eat.
Honestly the last thing I read was US Weekly magazine, but that was mostly from boredom. The last book I read was The Long Run, about a guy who replaces his addictions with drugs and alcohol with basically an addiction to running.

Between Halloween and Christmas there is a holiday that can often be pushed to the side: Thanksgiving. Thanksgiving unfortunately gets overlooked; ridiculous Halloween costumes and haunted houses dive immediately into the madness of last-minute Christmas gift searches and tree decorating.

Please release me
Please release me
Fleetwood Mac guitarist Lindsey Buckingham will release his second solo album in two years Sept. 16. "Gift of Screws" features Buckingham backed on several tracks by his Fleetwood Mac bandmates John McVie (bass) and Mick Fleetwood (drums). He'll promote the CD with a Sept. 14 concert at UCLA's Royce Hall.
Rhino will release expanded reissues of the Replacements' final four albums Sept. 23 for Sire Records. Each album features a host of previously unreleased bonus tracks; the entire reissue catalog will also see digital release the same day.
Earth, Wind & Fire appears likely to follow the Eagles and Journey in making its next album exclusively for a major retailer. Frontman Philip Bailey says the group is planning a three-disc package like Journey's recent "Revelation." The set, which EWF hopes to release in mid-2009, is expected to include a CD of original material — its first since "Illumination" in 2004 — a live CD and a concert DVD.
Britney Spears is "spending her summer in the recording studio" to work on her next album, according to a statement from Jive Records. The yet-to-be-named disc will be the follow-up to last year's "Blackout," which has sold 879,000 copies.
Every song from Metallica's upcoming album "Death Magnetic" will be available for gamers to download and play on "Guitar Hero III" on the same day that it is released to retail.

Fun, caring and respectful seeks a match! Looking for a serious relationship, enhance my life and someone else's.
Single, never married. Focussed on work for a number of years and have since balanced my life and would enjoy sharing it with someone special. I'm friendly and social but I prefer having a few really good friends, the sort I'd give my right arm to. In relationships, I'm 100% in or it's not worth the effort. Over the years I've learned important things about myself and what I'm looking for; someone simple, easy going, funny, passionate and ready to invest in a relationship. I'm passionate, romantic and honest. A strange mix of geek, jock and do it yourself-er. I take pride in my past for the lessons I learned and the hardships I've been through because I discovered what I'm made of. I've worked in a paper mill and in the construction industry while in school and now I work in sales for a multinational enterprise computer systems company. I've been with them for 13 years. I've achieved a balance in my life and wish to share it with someone special. We have to have a strong friendship so that we may enjoy an active life together. I'm not looking to trade in my life for something completely different but am looking to mutually enhance it with someone special. I've been back into martial arts for about a year. I also enjoy mountain biking so I'm exercising about 5 times a week now. Karate is an amazing journey to develop mind, body and spirit (clich?, I know, but it's true!). I'm fit but still carry extra weight, which is coming off at a steady pace. Don't worry, I can keep up. I moved from Montreal Qc Canada to SoCal six years ago for work and have really enjoyed it. You guessed it, I'm half French Canadian. I don't miss the snow but I do miss my family. I'll be a dual citizen in 2013. I've met great people out here but have not met the woman with who I can share my life with.

Temples, Tires and Tyrants: 75 days to C.A. and back.
Well it all began back around 1997. My friend Carl found a diving operation in a place called Belize. It was for sale for 30k US. Where the hell is Belize? I was intrigued. We never bought the dive shop (I was 21 and barely had money for gas), but it did kick off a long-term fascination with the country.
The 2nd largest Barrier reef in the world, Jungle rivers, mountains, waterfalls, a cultural melting pot. A stable political scenario due to former British rule and they spoke English to boot!
I had to check it out. My dream evolved from a simple backpacking trip into an overland journey. I should take a bike - the ultimate form of transport in the 3rd world. No schedules, no timetables, fewer access limitations and greater speed!
The problem, as for most folks, was breaking away from work. I had a cozy union gig that would disappear with a puff of smoke if I were to leave long term. So I waited... even went back to school and changed careers. But the dream never escaped me. Time went by, and my friends and family were, I'm sure, sick of hearing about my Belize adventure. I realized that if I did not go now, I would never go. I had to will it to happen.
So with some carefully cultivated support from my work and my amazing new wife and to the bewilderment of my friends, I started to accumulate gear, shots, maps and paperwork. I sold my great DR350 and bought my 3rd KLR. Around this time, my best and longest friend Jason said something along the lines of "That sounds like something I'd like to do too". I somewhat doubted that would happen, but after he took a rider course, got his license, bought an 04 KLR and started gearing up, I knew he was in.
So off we went, 75 days, over 17,000kms and not just to Belize, but across the continental US, both coasts of Mexico and through Guatemala. It was on.

The bike:
After some consideration, I chose the 08 KLR. I wanted a newer bike and this one was left-over stock at a savings of $1500 CDN. This bike didn't need a whole lot for my needs, but I added mods where I felt it was necessary.
I installed some crash bars (more on this later), a skid, heated grips, handguards, and went through most of the bolts, replacing them with grade 12.9 (stock is grade 8 or less). I went with Happy Trails for the Panniers and racks, got a big tailbag, bought Bicimapas for the GPS and some odds and ends. Before departure, I painted all red plastic black and had the Panniers powdercoated by my brother in law (Thanks Dan). Also got some help from my father in law, shortening and re-welding the kickstand, which is way too long from the factory (thanks Thys)

Up early at 5am. Final prep and a great big breakfast from Megan. Jay couldn't eat much, I have some butterflies too. An emotional goodbye as we wave goodbye to our wives and they watch us ride away down the hill.
A bit of maintenance before we head out:
Beards for warmth!
Ready to go:
Medium to Heavy rain as we head out. A bit chilly at 6 Celsius but not bad at all. My brother Mark meets us 20 min in and convoys with us to the border. A nice touch. Hugs goodbye and advice given.
We are a little worried about the US border crossing but it goes off fine after a one hour wait. Jay notices a bit of "Racial Profiling" going on in the selection of secondary searches. Coincidence?
Rain and some wind on and off to Tacoma. Make some good time and arrive past Portland for a cheap hotel, Burgers/Beer.
So far everyone super friendly.The subtle cultural differences are apparent, Shiny American Flags on baseball hats and references to Jesus read from the highway.
Jay's bike is getting some bad hesitation. ONLY while riding downhill in the rain. ??? We check out and switch the air filter in case of water contamination. More on this later.

Geoff - Go for it mate!
Too Tall - Despite all of the negative news, we had few troubles in Mexico at all. I still maintain that the downtown east-side in Vancouver, or the major cities in the U.S. would be a lot more dangerous. I would boogie away from the border towns though.
I'm better now.

Day 2 - Portland Or to Redding CA - 680kms
Awake at 0530 and on the tarmac by 0630. Beautiful sunrise and Rainbow but otherwise the I-5 is boring as hell. Stop at a classic 70's diner for B-fast and the sky opens up. Heavy rain and gusts but we keep truckin along at 110km/hr.
We're sore but we "Man up" and eat miles all day. Although we've been successful in avoiding the big chain restaurants we succumb to Red Lobster. As usual Jay's food looks better than mine:
Lots of curious looks from passers-by, the most common question being "Keeping Dry?"
Pretty Major gusting in Southern Oregon and esp as we cross into Cali. Comes from both sides and tosses the bike around pretty hard. Plenty of rain now and the semis blast by us all day. Good times all around. Check into the first of many Motel 6's.
Day 3 - Nov 10th - Redding to Bakersfield Cali - 704kms
Pretty uneventful day, just tearing up miles. Jay's bike took a spill in the courtyard but no real damage, just a tweaked Pannier rack. Had trouble getting my cold-blooded bike to fire. Finally kicked over with a HUGE backfire that echoed through the courtyard- BANG! Well at least it's running.
Good weather all day and had the rain gear stowed away by mid-day, 19C in Sacramento. First Palm trees spotted at B-fast:
Landscape starts changing to nice grassy rolling plains and we are enjoying the warmer weather.
Still on the I-5 and it's still pretty mind-numbing. As many Semis as there are cars here. Bikes are running perfect and our Comms keep us from getting too bored:
Great restuarant in Santa Nella:
We end up in Buttonwillow Cali after a long, sore day. Monkey Butt. But I still had to go for a rip in the sand in front of our next Motel 6:
Jay putting the bikes to bed:
Room is $42 and we dine with a bunch of Drifting enthusiasts at the local BBQ joint.
Day 4 - Nov 11 - Buttonwillow to Parker Arizona - about 500kms
Finally off the Interstate for 90% of the day. Hwy #58 to #395 to #62. The way into Mojave was beautiful, lots of winding hills and wind farms:
Downtown Mojave, this Diner is good:
A few small towns, then rock formations take over the landscape. We start hitting thermals that spike the temp by several degrees. Weird. We're in the Mojave now, Tumbleweeds and windy bi-ways. It's straight outta Hollywood, it's dusty trailers and abandoned cars in the middle of the desert. Awesome.
My bike is starting to eat oil at anything over 100km/hr. Pass through Joshua Tree and onto 29 Palms, where I annoy Jay by constantly singing the Robert Plant tune of the same name over the comms.
Locked up Joshua Tree:
"When I hear your voice on the radio..." http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aHRcKD8T17g
Highway 62 leads us all the way from 29 Palms to Parker Arizona. It's a surreal ride, with open desert and rock "Islands" all around us. Hard to describe, looks as though this were the ocean at some point. We ride well into the night, it feels faster when it's dark out.
Cali on one side of the bridge, Arizona on the other:
We check into, guess where? - Yes! Motel 6. Another $40 well spent.

Day 5 - Nov 12 2009 - Parker Arizona to Lordsburg NM - 650kms
Kind of a "late" start for us at 0930 after adjusting both our chains. 2 lane road for the first part of the day. Good breakfast at a "Saloon" type diner:
Overcast and warm. Cactus. Some interstate today. 7 lanes each way and douche drivers who love to tailgate.
A few short stops. At one coffee break, a group of car wash workers gather around the bikes and inundate us with questions. They are fascinated. One guy in particular asks why the hell we would want to do this and just says "You guys are crazy". They don't get it. They do mention that we "must have huge balls to do that trip". Indeed.
Off the interstate and into some 2 lane:
We stop by an Apache Indian reserve, which reminds me of the ones back home. We are obviously the visible minority here, and when Jay asks for a pack of Camel Lights the lady at the gas station says: "What's that, Camel Whites?" We have a good laugh at this.
We enter a beautiful mountain route (Hwy #60 if I remember correctly) that is the most scenic so far:
We dig it.
Onto 2 lane lonely desert highway and we haul ass with the road to ourselves. Make it to Lordsberg with my neck pretty sore and Jay's shoulder feelin the pain as well. We thought this was a sub-500km day but it ended up being 650. No wonder we're tired.
Ok I'm sorry to any residents of Lordsberg, but this place is kind of a dump. We check into a Ghetto hotel and have a sub-par dinner where we could not get a beer? The whole town has an abandoned vibe to it. Of course, all of this would be 5 star compared to where we would end up shortly.
Derelict restaurant. I tried to imagine what this place would have been like, hoppin' on a friday night in the 50's:
Our parking setup: 2 disc locks, a cinch lock through the skid-plates, a cable lock through the frames, Jays's steering locked and covers on both. Good luck with stealing that:

Day 6 - Nov 13 - Lordsberg New Mexico to Van Horn Texas
We're slowing down a bit as we plan to service our bikes in Laredo Texas. Even at 700kms a day we would make it too late - Sat night. We're starting to take it easy, which is good cause we're beat.
Highway 10 Interstate all day, mostly 2 lanes each way until El Paso, which has the typical 7 lanes, heavy traffic and lane jockeying. A little chilly, the handgrips and fleece jacket are on. El Paso is a bit of a trip as it is right on the border to Mexico, and the poverty is very apparent by the Shanty looking town, just a hundred yards over the border.
Van Horn is a small strip town in the hills. Half of the town is closed up and the place has an eerie, half-ghost town vibe to it. It's cool.
At the ....Motel 6, we meet Alan Johnson, a very cool guy from North Carolina on a yellow Vstrom. He volunteers in Guatemala several months of the year, building housing and closed wood burning stoves for some of the Indigenous people there. He gives us advice, points out routes on our map and drops by later to give us the number for his Guatemalan "fixer" should we run into trouble. Cool guy.
We have our first real Mexican food at a place called Guey's. Highly recommended.
Day 7 -Nov 14 - Van Horn to Del Rio Texas -500km
Out on some long and lonely 1 and 2 lane bi-way (#90).
Rest Stop:
My view from the cockpit:
At a stop in Alpine, I tighten up my chain and Jay notices something missing from his bike:
The end cap on the left side of his swingarm is gone. It'd be better if it was there, because it helps to secure the axle's position. We aren't there 10 min when a guy named Robert on a sweet Xr650R shows up. "Heard you were having some trouble". He has a look at the missing piece and says: "Oh we can fix that at my buddy's shop, follow me."
So off to Doug's shop where he whips up a new plate on the water jet. Doug fixes everything from planes to boats to bikes. Great guys and many laughs. We witness the Texan tradition of taking the piss outta friends and strangers alike. Our first taste of real southern hospitality.
Robert and his pride and joy:
Quick job for Doug on the Water Jet:
Thanks guys!
Texan Cattle Guard:
About and hour and half later we hit the road:
Still overcast, but clears in time for an awesome sunset. Big 200km stretch just before dark. Del Rio appears to be one big strip mall. Ate way too much dinner. The appetizer was the size of a big entree. The portions get bigger the further south you get into the States. Check into Motel 6 in Del Rio. No we're not sponsored but we should be.

I promised many of my PoliceLink friends that I would keep you updated on my new mystery/suspense trilogy. I'm pleased to announce my first novel, Child Finder, has debuted this month. It is available online at Barnes & Noble, and
Amazon. It has already received some great reviews, to include a 5-Star rating by Armchair Interviews!
I am hosting a formal launch and book signing event at Borders bookstore, Chapel Hills Mall, Colorado Springs, CO on Sunday, June 7th, from 12:00 noon to 4:00 pm. It would be great to see you there, but if you cannot make it, then I hope you still get your hands on a copy of my book.
Please check my website where I have a pretty cool book trailer movie posted, as well as much more detail about the trilogy and upcoming book signing events: www.childfinder.us

A big yes from me as well. I've been thinking about that notion all morning here at work, and I'd love to see a new Trek series in the Prime Universe, set either at the very end of the 22nd century or the beginning of the 23rd (say around 2212, maybe). With Noble as a fleet captain. It would be a great way to reference events from ENT while continuing to connect to TOS. It's a pipe dream, I know, but I'd really love to see this.

In this course, author David Diskin lays out a practical framework for building and delivering business presentations in Microsoft PowerPoint, and covers tips and tricks for controlling elements in slide decks. This course demonstrates how to engage an audience, present data in meaningful ways, incorporate gestures, and manage question-and-answer sessions. The course also includes tips on creating photo slide shows and utilizing keyboard and mouse tricks.
In Chapter 3 we made some quick changes to the overall template. You recall that we added our logo and the curved design to the bottom of our slides. Now we will take that customization further using the techniques we just learned to manipulate text and objects. In this video, we are going to adjust the text alignment, font weight, color, bullets, positioning, and more, and we'll do it in a way that affects all of our slides at once. We will also pay special attention to the various layouts and make small changes to them as well.
Our goal is to make every slide look fantastic. Let's start by accessing the Slide Master View and surveying what we have. We will click on the View tab and then Slide Master. Along the left we see our first Slide Master linked to 11 different layouts. These are the same layouts that we have been using during our course. If I hover over them, it tells me their name, Title Slide Layout, Title and Content Layout. Let me take a second to point out the ones that are most important.
I already showed you the first two. Let's continue. Section Header, the two Two Column Layouts, Title Only, Blank. And then here's a few that we are not even using. In fact, we can start by deleting the ones we are unlikely to use. If we right-click, we can choose Delete Layout. Notice what follows our first set of layouts, another Slide Master. You'll recall that this is from the Customer Service Slideshow that we pasted in a while back.
These are not consistent with the rest of my slideshow, and I am going to delete these too. I will right-click and choose Delete Master. Now I can scroll back up my list and see the remaining layouts with the one and only Slide Master. But since we removed those for customer service, let's Close the Master View and see how that affected those slides. We will use Slide Sorter View and scroll down to the bottom. As you can see, the blue background behind these slides is gone and they match the rest of our slideshow.
Now let's start making some changes to the layouts in our template. We will return to Slide Master view and we will use a shortcut. I am going to hold down shift and click on the little icon here that brings us to normal view. Before we address each individual layout, let's return to the Slide Master, the large one at the top of the list on the left. I am going to select the title area by the boundary. Go to the Home tab; we will make it Bold and align it to the left. Let's also change the content to black and remove the bullets for a cleaner look.
We will select the entire textbox, turn off the bullets, pull down the Font menu, choose Standard and Black. Again, you will see that this has affected nearly every slide layout that we have. On the Title and Content Layout I am going to remove the background curve and add it myself again in a different location. Now I can't click here to select that object, because it's part of the Master up above. Instead, I will click on the Slide Master tab and choose to hide the background graphics.
That eliminates the logo and the curve. I am going to return to the Slide Master and select both to bring them back in by copy and paste. Ctrl+C to Copy and Ctrl+V to Paste. Now I will select just the curve and bring it up to the top, where I am going to make it just a little bit shorter. Again, I can use my arrow keys to adjust it. Now I will adjust the text boxes on each of my layouts so they don't conflict with my graphics.
For example, here I'll bring the text box just down a hair. Let's quickly review each of the layouts and make any other changes to the text boxes, so they don't conflict with the graphics behind them. Here's a quick tip. If you want to modify multiple text boxes at the same time, click on the first, hold down Shift, and then click on the second, the third, or fourth. In Chapter 1, I discussed white space, I'm going to apply that lesson here to the template. I want to generally increase the space between and after each line.
So from the Slide Master I will select the text box here, click on Home, and Paragraph, and then modify the settings. We can't see much of a difference here, so let's return to the Normal View and see how our new line spacing option appears. Not too bad. I definitely want my Department Title slides to be a little bit more interesting. For example, here, Sales, and here, Fulfillment.
I am going to hold down Shift again and click on the Normal button. Notice, by the way, that it brings me directly to the layout that that particular slide was using. Let's click here to select the boundary of the text box, make it a little bit larger, and I think I want to add some reflection. Consider that our largest department name is just Human Resources. So as long as it fits, I'm not worried about the text wrapping like we see here. For that matter, I am not worried about these text boxes overlapping with each other.
Generally the words here, here, and up above are only going to be a single line, hopefully just a few words. Let's return back to our slides and see how our new section headings look. There is Fulfillment and Human Resources. Granted, some of our slides do need some individual tweaking, but overall things are looking much better. Keep in mind that your slideshow can have multiple Slide Masters, each with their own multiple layouts, kind of like the Customer Service master and layouts before we removed them.
This is great if you want to have multiple designs within the same show. If you are like me, you will spend a lot of time in Slide Master view getting everything just right. And to continue that let's move on and learn how to build our own layouts.

Let's check in with how Sony feels about this in 12-18 months. These consoles haven't even been out a year, so OF COURSE the catalog of games isn't very big yet. If EA were to round up all those old DOSbox emulated games they sell on GOG, and emulate them on these new pc-based-consoles, the back catalog of games would increase more than 1000%. The value proposition would then be a no-brainer.
edit: Honestly though, these services that offer "free" things are probably just going to lead to a bunch of entitled bitching when the monthly selection happens to be weak.

Young Gregory-Portland baseball team growing up
Coach Flores sees similarities to 2006 squad
PORTLAND - Fred Flores was a relatively new baseball coach in 2006, when he was in his second season of coaching the Gregory-Portland High School program.
The Wildcats reached the Region IV-4A semifinals that season before losing to New Braunfels, which then pushed past Calallen in the regional final and eventually won the state championship. But the memories of that team are still vivid in his mind, because he is seeing some of those same qualities in this year's edition — and it has him excited about G-P's potential.
"There weren't any superstars or power hitters or power pitchers; it was just a good group of kids with real good chemistry," Flores said. "This team reminds me a lot of that bunch."
That bodes well for the Wildcats of 2012 after a third-place finish in District 30-4A a year ago. But they will attempt to match that 2006 run with a relatively young ballclub. Only one of the projected starters — Flores' son, first baseman Fred Jr. — is a senior. The bulk of the rest are underclassmen. The players are somewhat experienced given the circumstances of the restocking program, but they are younger players nonetheless, returnees from a 16-14 ballclub that was swept in a best-of-three area playoff series by Flour Bluff last year.
"Two years ago we took our lumps. Last year we took a couple of lumps, but we gave some lumps back. That's why I'm excited. I'm hoping we give all the lumps this year," coach Flores said. "I've had these kids since they were freshmen and, geez, I'm really excited to see what they do. I think it's going to go good."
It starts with pitching. Ervin Polasek and Randy Sanchez handled the bulk of the load last season, with juniors Travis Geiser and Buddy Rodriguez and sophomores Tanner Geiser and Ruben Martinez getting some starts earlier in the season. Flores is hoping those early assignments have been enough to steel the starters this year.
"When I first got them, they had that deer-in-the-headlight look. Now, they're moving around with a little more confidence. They're picking up what we're doing a lot faster," Flores said of the pitching staff. "It's not so much teaching anymore; now we're running through the drills. They did pick up a lot of experience, and it shows. We're pretty excited about it."
Outside of Fred Flores Jr., the other returning starters are third baseman Carlos Flores and designated hitter Ryan Starcher, both juniors. Tanner Geiser and Mickie Erwin are projected to roam the outfield with Martinez.
Travis Geiser is one of G-P's shortstops when he isn't pitching, and junior Ty Fishbeck — who logged some time at catcher when Polasek was pitching — again is slated to be behind the plate. Andres Rodriguez, one of G-P's few seniors, is in the running to start at second base.
"I'm really excited, man. I had these same juniors, four of them started as freshmen. I've seen them grow," coach Flores said. "It's almost like we're young, but we're experienced. I'm excited. I feel like we're going to do pretty good. We stay away from injuries, I really think we have a shot in our district."

© Copyright 2015 Clayton News Daily
By Joel Hall
In order to help potential home buyers take advantage of the recently expanded Worker, Homeownership, and Business Assistance Act of 2009, the office of U.S. Sen. Johnny Isakson (R-Ga.) will host a First-Time Homebuyer's Forum at Clayton State University.
The forum, which will feature tips and information on the home-buying process, will take place on Saturday from 10 a.m., to 12 p.m., at the university's Student Activities Center.
Passed by Congress earlier this year, the Worker, Homeownership, and Business Assistance Act offers a tax credit of up to $8,000 to people purchasing their first home. In November, Congress approved an expansion of the tax credit, offering a smaller credit of up to $6,500 for buyers who have lived in their home for at least five years and wish to "step up" into a new home, according to the White House web site.
According to Marie Gordon, deputy press secretary for Isakson, Saturday's forum in Morrow will be the third of its kind in the state since August. She said the forum will feature helpful commentary from, and one-on-one sessions with, representatives from several state and federal housing agencies.
"We had one in Gwinnett County and one in Lowndes County," Gordon said. "They'll go over best practices, federal tax credits. They'll [attendees] hear from professionals from the IRS, the Department of Housing and Urban Development, and the [Georgia] Department of Community Affairs. The U.S. Small Business Administration, the Federal Home Loan Bank, and the Mortgage Bankers Association of Georgia ... those three will have tables set up and will be able to speak, one on one, with attendees.
"We thought that this was a good way to get the information out to the people who are the most interested," she added. "It's also encouraging them to take advantage of the credit that is out there right now. We're hoping to get more interest from people in the 'move-up' market."
Prior to serving in the U.S. Senate, Isakson served as the president of Northside Realty for 20 years. He believes the $8,000 tax credit, and the recent $6,500 tax-credit expansion, can go a long way toward stabilizing the housing market.
"I pushed for this tax credit because I know that it will work," Isakson said Monday. "In the mid-1970s, America faced a similar housing crisis, and Congress responded by passing a $2,000 tax credit for anyone purchasing a new home for their principal residence. I was in the real estate industry in Atlanta at the time and the results were clear and swift as home values stabilized, housing inventory dropped and the market recovered."
Isakson said potential home buyers need to be aware of their credit scores and how much they can afford, as well as the lot size and median price of homes in the area where they want to buy. However, he said, "this workshop will introduce potential buyers to these issues and others, as well as the steps in the process of buying a home."
"I urge all Georgians who are thinking about purchasing a home to take advantage of this opportunity," Isakson said. "The key to returning stability to the economy lies within the housing market, and we have crafted a meaningful credit that will create a strong foundation for future growth and make a measurable difference over the next seven months in our economy."
According to the White House web site, the sunset date for the tax-credit program is April 30, 2010. A similar tax credit, offered to members of the uniformed services whose duties take them overseas, will expire in May 2011.
If an individual has a contract on a home, they can still qualify for the tax credit if they complete the transaction within 60 days after April 30, 2010, according to Gordon.
All persons interested in attending Saturday's forum at Clayton State University must make a reservation online at firstname.lastname@example.com, or by contacting Isakson's office at (770) 661-0999. While registration is free, all attendees must register by Thursday at 5 p.m.
Clayton State University is located at 2000 Clayton State Blvd., in Morrow.

Hey, I'm Gregg!
Hi there!
I'm an easy-going, clean & professional home-owner who feels lucky to have such a great spot in which to live. For over ten years I've been sharing it with friends and family as they come visit, now I'm excited to share with others via Airbnb. The money earned goes right back into the condo for continual upgrades and modifications!
I'm a travel enthusiast, and have enjoyed trekking around our country and world for the past many years. I love good food & drink and enjoy the opportunities that dining provides to bring people into community with each other... whether I know them or not! Some of my favorite places include the Pearl district in NW Portland, any number of the food cart pods around the area, the Stage Deli in Manhattan, the Haupstrasse in Heidelburg, Germany, and 'Nando's Pizza in the little Tuscan village of Anghiari, Italy.
I grew up in the area, in the neighboring town of Lake Oswego. I was away for four years in college at Indiana University, and have since worked in the Portland metropolitan area. I know the area well, and always look forward to finding a new hike along the Gorge, a walk through one of the many eclectic Portland neighborhoods, or just sitting with a book on my balcony or sofa while looking out at Mt. Hood.
A bass player as well, I'm happy to make recommendations and provide sources for guests as to where they might go scavenging for good food, exploring the outdoors, or finding a good live concert of any music style.
I look forward to making more new friends through what Airbnb can help do!

Cooperative Baptists in North Carolina are revising their "foundational statements" to delete traditional references to liberty of conscience and "soul competency" and assert the priority and authority of the community in matters of faith. Like the fundamentalists in the Southern Baptist Convention, communitarians within the Cooperative Baptist Fellowship are determined to effect change within Baptist churches by redefining the traditional Baptist understanding of the "priesthood of the believer."
Fundamentalists redefined "priesthood of the believer" to mean "submission to pastoral authority." Communitarians are redefining "priesthood of the believer" to mean "submission to the authority of your church."
Both are weary of the conflict of interpretations that are inevitable when finite and fallible human beings are passionate about reading scripture and living faithfully in accord with a revelation whose meaning is inexhaustible.
Both believe they are authorized to replace the Holy Spirit in the mind and heart of the believer. Fundamentalists replace the Holy Spirit with the authority of the pastor. Communitarians replace the Holy Spirit with the authority of the community. Either the pastor or your community serves to legitimate or delegitimate interpretations of scripture.
Neither fundamentalists nor communitarians make allowances for human imperfections. In the real world, both pastors and church communities often oppose valid interpretations of scripture and legitimate movements of God's Spirit. That is why Baptists, historically, have been the Christian faith's staunchest advocates for "liberty of conscience" or "soul competency." Baptists, at their best, have always left room for the "prophets" – those who seem to be born out of due time because they are responding to a divine summons to serve the community in ways that challenge its consensus.
In my mind, it was a divine summons that led John Smyth to separate from the church of England and to adopt believer's baptism. It was a divine summons that led Thomas Helwys to separate from John Smyth and return to England to start the First Baptist church in England. It was a divine summons that led Roger Williams to break with the state church in Boston and start the First Baptist Church in America. It was a divine summons that led John Leland in his struggle for religious liberty and his opposition to slavery. And, in more recent days, it was a divine summons that led Cecil Sherman, Daniel Vestal and others to form the Cooperative Baptist Fellowship.
If there is anything common to all these instances, it is that none of them were examples of submission to the prevailing opinion in their own community of faith. All of them are examples of submission to the authority of an inner voice that speaks in the heart and mind and conscience. In one way or another, all of them are examples of people who were constrained to obey God rather than men. All of them recognized that they would appear before the judgment seat of Christ and that when they appear there, they would all stand alone. No parents, no friends, no teachers, no pastors, no churches, and no denominations will be there to make excuses for them, -- and, they won't be able to use any of these to make excuses for themselves.
Baptists, at their best, also realize that just as we are all called to be priests to each other, we are all also called to be prophets to one another. The Holy Spirit has been poured out on all of us. We all must learn to interpret scriptures and discern the guidance of the Holy Spirit. Our church community plays a prominent role in helping us develop these abilities, but our primarily accountability is not to our community. Paul tells us,"We must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ." (2 Cor. 5:10) When we appear there, we will all stand alone. Christ will know how many times He spoke to our hearts and minds and consciences through the voice of the Holy Spirit. He will also know how many times we listened and heeded His voice, -- and, he will know how many times we turned away and followed a different voice.
This individual and personal accountability before God is why liberty of conscience should always be held inviolable. It is inviolable for two reasons. First, because no human being or community interprets the voice of God infallibly – whether that voice is communicated through scriptures, through the community, or through a still, small voice at the heart of your being. Second, because everyone is personally responsible for learning to listen to God's voice and to interpret it for themselves.

The Zoom-Zoom guys would like a word with you about their Mazda 3.
On the outside, the 3 doesn't room to exhibit the styling flair of Mazda's bigger models – but it's not a rolling box, either. It has a small, aggressive, black grill flanked by recessed intakes that give it the appearance of a miniature racer. There is a sharply sloping front hood leading to a wide expanse of glass. The sloping roof line leading to a sharply cut-off rear prevents the 3 from having the boxy look.
Underneath that hood is a 2.0-liter, four cylinder engine producing a respectable 155 horsepower – which is a lot for a light car like this one. The small engine is also light on the gas consumption, with an EPA estimate of 28 miles per gallon in city driving, and 40 MPG on the open road. The Mazda 3 has a six-speed transmission which, in manual mode, can hope like a respectable sports sedan. The double-spoke, 16-inch wheels make the 3 look sportier than it really is.
But while the outside is pleasant, it is far more important what Mazda put inside, where you spend your time. And here, the Zoom-Zoom crew gave a lot of thought to the interior of the 3 so that it didn't look or feel like the low end of their automotive line.
The three spoke steering wheel is leather wrapped, tilts and telescopes, and has push button controls for every function. The seats are wide, thickly padded, and leather rather than cloth. The front seats can be heated, which is a great antidote to cold weather or sore backs. The driver's seat is powered, while the front passenger seat is manually operated. But there is thick, faux leather padding on the doors, arm rests and dash board which makes the 3 look more expensive than it is and, functionally, is comfortable for long drives. The dash is curved, instead of a plain, straight slab, and provides individual spaces for the front occupants. There is also soft, blue lighting under the dash and along the floor boards at night so you don't have to fumble around in the dark.
And in case one is changing lanes in a hurry, there is a blind spot warning light in the side mirrors which lets the driver know if there is a vehicle in either blind spot. For the night vision, add bi-xenon, self-leveling headlights.
Most cars in this price range would not have a navigation system and color information screen. The 3, however, is different. There is a recessed, color, three-inch screen – similar to the screen on a hand held Garmin – which serves the navigation system. Depending on the strength of your glasses, it can be difficult to read the names of cross streets, but most of the information on the screen is quite legible and the system is easy to use. It can be accessed manually from the center console or the buttons on the leather steering wheel, or run by voice.
For entertainment, the 3 has AM/FM and XM satellite radio, a six-disc CD player, as well as iPod, MP3, and USB connections. The surround sound emanates from a 10-speaker, 265-watt, Bose system. And if you keep your music on your smart phone, the Bluetooth will access it and play through the system.
