BROADWAY: New budget plan retains all employees, present tax rate
Thanks to two last-minute agreements with the county, Broadway won't have to raise taxes or lay off any employees to make budget for the fiscal year that starts in July, officials said at a meeting this week.
The town had been facing the prospect of having about $110,000 less for the 2013-14 fiscal year than it was working with this year — a de facto cut of about 15 percent — due to a redistribution of sales tax revenue by the Lee County Board of Commissioners that gave that board enough money to lower the county property tax from 75 to 72 cents per $100 valuation. However, it caused budget upheavals for both the town of Broadway and city of Sanford.
Broadway would have had to raise its property tax from 44 to 56 cents per $100 to cope with the redistribution, a strategy that town officials shot down as soon as it was suggested earlier this year. The budget Town Manager Bob Stevens presented to the board Monday night maintained the town's property tax rate at 44 cents per $100. To keep that rate, town officials had been planning to cut staff by one police officer and one maintenance worker.
But the town's new budget plan lays off no one, although it did make one full-time maintenance worker a part-time employee. A yearly payment of $75,000 to Broadway for various services, which that the county approved just hours before Broadway officials met, was largely responsible for the change.
Lee County will pay Broadway $60,000 for town officers to respond to Lee County Sheriff's Office calls outside of town limits — something they already do — as well as $15,000 to help with animal control. To compensate for the remaining cuts, the town also changed health insurance providers, changed its solid waste contractor, cut the budget for fuel and requested that there not be any early voting sites in Broadway during the November election, among other actions.
Stevens said this was the toughest budget challenge Broadway has faced in more than a decade, but he's glad it could be handled without any tax hikes or too many personnel changes.
"There seems to be more questions than answers," he said, citing both local changes and uncertainty at the state level. "... Because of these issues, we will continue to hold a very conservative line."
Mayor Donald Andrews said that while Broadway residents will notice the local cuts, some will also reap the benefits of a lower property tax rate. He also praised Stevens and Lee County Manager John Crumpton for working together to make sure the town wasn't too badly harmed by the county's changes, and he thanked county commissioners for at least listening to the concerns of Broadway's citizens and leaders in recent months. The town's budget is expected to be finalized in June.
After budget discussions ended, the town commissioners moved on to an even more emotional subject — how to fill the now-vacant seat of former Commissioner Clemellyn "Clem" Welch, who died earlier this month at age 68. The board voted unanimously not to appoint anyone and instead to put the seat up for election in November, when three other seats on the board will go up for election as well.
"If we leave it to the election process, then those who would run, we know, are really interested in the office," Commissioner Lynn Green said. "I would really want to see someone come on the board in Commissioner Welch's absence with as much passion for the business of the town as she had."
Whoever wins that seat will be in office until at least 2015, when Welch's term would've been up. The other three races are for four-year terms ending in 2017.
The board also:
* Approved a memorandum of understanding with the Lee County Economic Development Corporation, with EDC Chairman Donnie Oldham on hand to answer any questions.
* Held a public hearing on its budget, although no members of the public spoke.
* Announced that they had no fraud or other ethical problems to report to an auditing group.

Hopefully the WRs in that video are not considering Bama. Counted 11 dropped passes -LOL
8 1st round picks the past 2 drafts....
promises kept
Couldn't have said it better...
Jim Brown has been angry for 30 years. Classless to say "ordinary"
Bama's 2nd team D would still be top 20 in the country.
Yeldon has a gear that I haven't seen a Bama RB have in a long time. From Richardson, Ingram, Coffee, Shaud Wiliams, Darby, Alexander, Stacy - all great RBs but didn't have that extra sprinter gear that Yeldon has
This is going to be a lot of fun to watch this kid play the next 3 years...
...Trent and Blount would be a good 1-2 "punch"
Knights of Columbus that is a great 2009 reference...
Rowdy - I bet you are one of those guys that fills the tub to the top, gets in it and then wonders why water spills over...
Matt - enjoy reading your articles. Good stuff brotha
BP - Dallas
Amen - Boris makes me laugh and also makes me thank God every morning that I was born a Bama fan.
Duron: I suggest the following:
#1 - Get off Twitter
#2 - Follow Julio's lead: Play on field does the talking
Amen! Love it.
Amen - I am 35 and I still think of Derrick Thomas & Bobby Humphery as my childhood Bama heros. #26 running wild and #55 running down everything from sideline to sideline...
Well said - War0182 is creepy
I like McShay. He knows what he is talking about. Also, he doesn't have Dracula hair...
I'll take the coach that gets the nation's best players/class versus offering four year guarantee scholarships...
He didn't even use a folding chair or steel cage?
The Saban haters basically come from two schools: LSU and the one hit wonder that will need a new coach in 2 years on the Plains...
Notre Dame football = irrelevant. I check in with them about every 9 years and still no serious threat to win a NC
Checking back in on ND football in 2021...
Respectfully disagree. Palmer didn't have close to the offensive talent around him and had to do everything. Maze's situation was much different. Had Julio, 2 Heisman calibur RBs, 2 stud QBs, etc.
I loved the Deuce on the Loose but I think Maze is everybit as talented and would have had the same impact in the early 90s
The kid wants to play for NC #15, not #3. I would wait for that too.

Summer in the city after dusk. Jean shorts are meant for thighs. Ice cream is made to melt. Shoes are built to sweat, to brown from street dirt. Hair is meant to tangle. Grass to be matted. Debit cards to be lost, bike bells born for sunglasses. Moons and Junes and ferris wheels to be dizzied by. Time's backward creaking and forward skim are meant to seduce. Lovers are meant to be naked. Windows meant for sleeping next to, open. You, thinking about sitcoms and their penchant for hijinx when a friend comes through the window unnanounced. And how none of those sitcom writers could have ever spent a night in a bed next to an open window in your city. You know a friend won't be the one that ends up at your window. It will be mustachioed man waking you up by whispering "let's play", knife blade glinting in the moonlight.
But you're lucky tonight. You know the knife wielder. You sneak back out the window with her and climb into K's raised 4×4. You leave the dog at home. She takes the passenger seat and you take the back, leaning against the backpacks. K gets in after you. He is barrel-chested, shaved almost bald, bulging at the shoulders. He wears a tight black T, camo pants – has shades, a dayglo hoodie, giant raver sneakers. "Let's go?" he asks. "Let's go," you say.

Maggie Gallagher needs new material April 16, 2011Posted by truthspew in Uncategorized.
Her testimony before the Congressional committee this past Friday wasn't all that interesting and you could tell she irritated a number of the members of the committee, including Rep. Nadler. He wasn't having any of her shit.
But one thing about all her bleating is still present, she links everything to the children and how awful it would be for those children to have two gay parents who love and want the child. Or how awful that a 2nd or 3rd grader would have to find out that there are people out there that do fall in love with others of the same sex, oh the horror!
But other than that she has no new, credible evidence to support her claims. The anecdotes they use are from YEARS ago and there haven't been any NEW cases since.
Beating a dead horse is one thing Maggie, but beating it until it's a bloody pulp isn't cute. And it's about to get a whole lot less cute.
Apparently Ms. Gallagher was presented with the Anita Bryant Unparalleled Bigotry Award by Michael Dixon of GetEgual. And now Robin McGehee, Director of GetEqual has promised Ms. Gallagher a pie. I've suggested a Boston Creme pie. And I hope someone throws it in Gallagher's face.
Of course there are those who say doing such a thing would be detrimental to our cause. But I can tell you a couple of things that might make you change your mind on that.
1) The only way to effectively deal with bigots like Gallagher is to ridicule them. The presentation of the Anita Bryant Unparalleled Bigotry award is an example of such. It's the only watching Maggie try to duck away from the questions Dixon was asking was priceless. Of course Gallagher is doing it because she CAN'T answer.
2) The episode here in Providence where activists got up in Brian Browns face could only be milked so much.
So please, I urge you, throw the pie in Gallagher's face.

………When contemplating the white trash Lollapalooza that is the strange tale of Carrie Prejean this years Miss California and first runner-up to the Miss U.S.A. the Coming Storm of Gay Marriage its best to acknowledge the bikini-waxed elephant in the room which is that the National Organization for Marriage NOM considers a bleached blonde 21-year-old girl with artificially augmented breasts whos apparently never had a serious long-term relationship in her life to be the ideal spokesmodel for their cause…There weve said it. ..Cue the circus music and send in the clowns…Only in America would the notion of a nearly-naked fundamentalist Christian beauty queen tossing her processed hair as she parades brand new pageant-bought plastic breasts across a Las Vegas stage in front of millions of television viewers with all the modesty of a blue ribbon heifer at a county livestock fair the same fundamentalist Christian beauty queen who would later tell a television reporter that she heard God whispering in her ear as she answered a celebrity-worshipping Internet gossip columnists question about gay marriage be treated as anything other than an occasion for high comedy and mirth…Were these times any other than the politically charged times they are the subsequent media firestorm set off by Miss Prejeans carryings-on would be similarly laughable.

I can't help but wonder how children would be forever traumatized by learning "gay people exist", yet in no way harmed by learning (in their homes, in their churches, via rabid street demonstrations, etc) that "gay people exist and are disgusting subhuman perverts who need to be denied the rights heterosexual people have and take for granted". I must be incapable of understanding that logic since my brain, unlike that of a fundy, is not twisted into a pretzel.

Athletics Hit Three Home Runs in 6-3 AL Playoff Defeat of Tigers
Oct. 7 (Bloomberg) -- Josh Reddick, Brandon Moss and Seth Smith hit home runs as the Oakland Athletics won 6-3 at the Detroit Tigers today to take a two-games-to-one lead in their best-of-five American League division playoff series.
The Athletics can advance to the AL Championship Series with a win in Game 4 tomorrow in Detroit.
After the teams combined to score a total of six runs while splitting the first two games of the series in Oakland, they scored nine runs in a three-inning span today at Comerica Park in Detroit.
Oakland opened the scoring on an error in the third inning. Reddick hit a solo home run and Coco Crisp added a sacrifice fly in the fourth to give the A's a 3-0 lead.
The Tigers responded with three runs in their half of the fourth inning to tie the game. Victor Martinez had a run-scoring double and Jhonny Peralta added a two-run single.
Oakland came back with three runs in the fifth, on a solo home run by Moss and a two-run shot by Smith, both off Tigers starter Anibal Sanchez.
Moss, who struck out in his three other at-bats today, now has nine strikeouts in the series.
"I made contact," Moss said in an on-field interview. "It's just one of those things, I strike out a lot. You got to go up and be who you are, and finally I didn't miss one."
There are three more Major League Baseball playoff games today.
The host Pittsburgh Pirates are trying to wrap up their series against the St. Louis Cardinals in the National League, followed by the Boston Red Sox going for a sweep of their AL series at the Tampa Bay Rays. Tonight, the Los Angeles Dodgers try to finish off their NL series at home against the Atlanta Braves.

The sequence everyone is talking about from this game is Beal's game-winning layup and then the Knicks' last second shot attempt. After an entire game of the Knicks communicating well on both ends of the floor, they seemed caught off guard in the last twenty seconds.
With Tyson Chandler's return on the horizon, expect the defensive communication to improve and their rotations to be sharper.

Poverty equals increase in crime. Lack of education equals increase in poverty/crime. Lack of a living wage equals increase in poverty/crime. The more we continue to cut our education budgets while giving tax money to big corporations, oil companies, special interest groups, and those who are only interested in lining their own pockets, we will continue to see an increase in crime in our state.
We have cut education budgets, social service budgets and police budgets. We can not decrease crime without increasing education. Our tax money should go to towards our communities, our children's education, our infrastructure. As long as we continue to cut resources here, to subsidize those who have enough money to lobby in Montgomery, our crime rate will increase.
We can only build so many jails/prisons (which costs lots of money). We need to focus on the solution, we need to focus on education and resources for those who do not wish to live a life of poverty and crime just to get by.
Trickle down economics does not work as we have seen for the last 30 years. Bring our tax money back to the people. Educate our children, with quality education, so that they can be productive members of society and not resort to crime. Of course there will always be criminals but a quality environment can have a great effect on decreasing crime.
What is an anti-white racist? Someone against white people? So saying that immigration is not a bad thing is racist against whites? This article is not specifically addressing illegal immigrants, so saying immigration is ok, is not saying illegal immigration is ok.
The only racism I see here are people insulting hispanics saying we are worse off with hispanic people around and we will be laughed at for allowing hispanics in the USA. Failing to freak out that white people are getting close to being the minority is not "anti-white" racism.
I'm a very fair skinned, blond, white girl born and raised in Alabama and in no way does immigration threaten me. Just because someone does not fear the "other" does not mean they are racist against white people.
Maybe if they had spent less time restricting women's rights, writing laws regarding marriage, droopy pants and fixing the immigration law (that is costing us millions to defend it in court) then they would have had adequate time to address all budget concerns. Too bad our law makers are too busy worried about what we do in our private lives to address what is needed for our community to function.
The state needs Jefferson County no matter how much some wish it didn't. We are the biggest county population wise and we have Alabama's largest employer. Also, unfortunetly for some who wish to live in a libertarian utopia like Somalia (haha) taxes are needed to run a successful state/county/ city. Citizens do need to pay for the roads, services, education, and infrastructure the state/county/city provide. It's called living in a modern society. While I do wish our taxes were spent more wisely, the reality is they are fact of life living in a functioning society.
What does filming at Rickwood have to do with the budget? Or are you being racist by saying since there aren't as many white people in Birmingham city, that's why Jefferson County isn't doing well? Either way you sound quite ignorant and far from any point in this article.
We need to re-write our constitution. Without home rule all counties are at the mercy of the state house if we want something done.
Birmingham is the biggest city in Alabama but it does not determine all of Jefferson County's fate. We were screwed by the sewer bonds while JP Morgan made bank on us. We were screwed by the law makers who wrote the Occupational tax bill one way and then decided to implement it another, which made it illegal. These big issues were not caused by Birmingham City. Jefferson County is in trouble because some people in power decided they wanted deals for themselves and not what would work for the citizens.
But hey, if you want to walk around sounding like a redneck from 1960, go ahead, have fun with that.
Well they spent most of their time on social bills; abortion, marraige, baggy pants.... and now "have" to have a special session, which costs us more money.
We do need social safety nets, especially in a poor state like ours. We need to stop cutting programs people need and raising fees on the public. Until our constitution is re-written and our tax laws change we will always be a poor state, cutting from the people that need services most while rich land owners who don't even live here, along with land owning companies control our policies.
We are taking from the poor to give to the already rich. Trickle up economics is what Alabama practices and then says "we have no money, we must cut education and services to the public". We would have money if we weren't still going on a tax system developed in the early 1900s to ensure white rich men kept their piece of the pie.
Until we re-write our constitution and no longer have our archaic one, this state will not flourish, no matter what party is in control.
We tax food at a higher rate than property. There is no way we can succeed as a state with policies like that.

The only people that really think being gay or straight is a choice are those who themselves are either in the closet or bisexual. Anyone who is completely straight knows their attraction to the other sex is not a choice. Any "straight" person who thinks being gay is a choice, has to have sexual attraction to the same sex or they would know physical attraction isn't a choice.
There have also been psychological studies that show those who are the most homophobic are also more likely to be aroused by watching gay pornography. So yeah, bigots, keep "preaching" that homosexuality is a choice (just like your heterosexuality) and keep on yelling that gay people don't deserve civil rights and are unnatural, cause that means I know who is really in the closet hating themselves.
Being against gay civil rights is on the wrong side of history, just like any other civil rights fight this country has had. It is stupid to fight over. Homosexuals have been around since the beginning of humans, get over it. Stop judging and let people be.
If this is really about the "sanctity of marraige" or the bible then divorce would be illegal. The bible has more quotes against divorce than it does against homosexuality.
Me sending in $600 a year is not going to help the whole state of Alabama. Stating we need a progressive tax system instead of a regressive tax system is not something I just made up. We live in a society, no one succeeds here in a vaccuum, therefore we as a society should all contribute to this society. I really don't understand how wanting our taxes to work FOR ALL the citizens of Alabama is a bad thing. I didn't say raise taxes on everything. If we had a less regressive tax system we wouldn't be taxed so high on goods and services. That's part of the agrument against regressive taxes. We shouldn't be taxed more on food than on property.
We absolutely do not pay the highest taxes in the world. I have no idea where you heard that but it is absolutely false. I love how someone who don't understand the difference between regressive and progressive taxation tell me I don't understand math.
Unless you are multi millionaire or own a lot of land in Alabama, your are actively thinking (and I assume voting) against your own interests. I want my state to thrive and grow and provide services for Alabama citizens. If you do not, that is your business but you have no grounds to question my intelligence when you are showing the lack of yours.
I know critical thinking is not encouraged in this state and it is easy to listen to hateful political pundents and repeat what they say, but I would argue that preferring for things to stay the way they are, which is obviously not working for this state or it's citizens (except for a select few), shows that I am not the one lacking any math or thinking skills.
We have a regressive tax system in this state. We need to raise property taxes but as our Governor said last year we can't raise property taxes because of the rich "out of state landowners won't allow it." See, they can afford lobbyists, regular Alabamians can not. Our state was built on repressing the majority while a select few reign at the top. This has not changed.
We have an outdated tax structure that does not work except for the those who are already wealthy. We will not thrive as a state until we change our tax structure. Regressive taxation is harmful (except to those who are already in power and are wealthy).
I am a homeowner, in a city. If my property tax was doubled it would raise my property tax by $50.00 a month. I would gladly pay that to help our state. I want Alabama to succeed but as long as we tax food more than property, that's not going to happen.
We also need an education lottery. But again, out of state interests came into play and made sure Alabamians were told that would be sinful.
So they are cutting health care for poor women, children and ederly and state employees are facing lay offs in the name fiscal conservativism, but they have no problem BORROWING hundreds of millions of dollars and creating more government (an APPOINTED 5 person council). Doesn't sound like fiscal conservatism to me, but I'm not surprised in the least, the GOP hasn't really been fiscal conservative in years. This is so messed up.
Our state is in major trouble and I have yet to see any solutions to actually help our citizens.
How about we change our regressive tax system and stop letting out of state interests determine our policies (property tax and education lottery), then we wouldn't be so broke. We have a regressive tax system, that itself needs to be changed. Taxes are not bad. They are needed to live in a functioning society.
Food is taxed at 10% while property taxes, which are determined by rich out of state land owners, are 5% or much lower. Regressive taxes over many years cause what we are seeing now. Along with interest in only those who can afford lobbyist in Montgomery and and attidude that assisting fellow Alabamians is somehow immoral, while funneling money to those who already have it is the moral thing to do.
Alabama is poor because of our policies. There are other states in this union that manage to provide basic services for their citizens. Taxes are how we ensure we have a functioning government and society. I have no desire to go back to the early 1900s with no social safety nets and little regulation and feudalism ruled the day. That is the path we are on.
Things are quite different working for the state than what you describe. I have a few friends who work for the state. They are bringing in less money than they did in 2008 (which isn't much to begin with, around $30,000), are fighting for basic supplies to do their jobs and are paying more for insurance than they ever have (increased contribution and co pays). My friends who work private sector don't have as many days off but are paid far better and don't have to fight over supplies.
Depending on the department but the people I know, the supervisors only make around $45,000 after being there for years & their jobs are not easy in the least.
I don't know anyone who works for the state who find is "cushy" by any means. Especially these days they are now worried about being layed off.
I find it amazing that religious fanatics think that forcing their idea of morality on others is somehow "freedom".
You do not know what you are talking about. No one loves abortion or wants "millions of babies killed". You obviously have no idea what different scenerios go into abortion and frankly, it is none of your business. This is a legal medical procedure that you have no authority to regulate or judge. Get off your moral high horse, I don't think Jesus would like all this judging and jumping to conculsions about things you have no idea about.
catoyounger- Your information is incorrect. Obama came up with a compromise regarding contraception coverage in which the insurance company pays for it if the church BUSINESS does not want to. Insurance companies do not mind this because contraception is cheaper than birth and covering a child. You really should know what you are talking about before you post. This is old news.
Since you are incorrect on news that was widely publicized I assume you don't know what you are talking about in other areas.
I do not "like" abortion but I am realist. Women had abortions before it was legal and will have them if it becomes illegal again. It is what it is. Pro choice does not mean "pro abortion", it means I do not know these women's situations and feel it is none of my business, it is a legal procedure and women should be free to choose.
Anyway, since this a fact of life we need to make sure there are safe, professionally trained places where women can get this legal medical procedure done. If this clinic is not safe for its clients then I am glad there is enforcement. We do need safe places for abortions, as they are going to happen anyway no matter how "icky" it makes some feel.
Alabama's regressive tax system at work! As long as we keep our regressive tax system and let out of state interests determine our policies and laws (property taxes & lottery for education) we will never thrive as a state. We will always have a very few at the top with the majority at the bottom.
All while we cut Medicaid and want to give private companies state tax money. As long as the majority of Alabama's citizens vote against their own economic interest, we will not thrive as a state.
We need to get out of state money out of our politics and change our regressive tax code.
So we don't have enoug money to adequately provide health care for our poor children/ederly but we have enough to let private companies keep sales tax they collect from their employees.
We have a regressive tax system. Food is 10% but property taxes are around 5% (depends on where you live in AL). As long as we keep our regressive tax code and let out of state interest determine our policies we will never thrive as a state.
You can't have a strong economy without a strong middle class. Taxing food at 10% while cutting off services for those in need will not help our state's economy. We need to increase property taxes (I am a home owner, so I am not asking anyone to do more than I am willing do to) and we need a lottery for the education fund. We can not just cut without increasing revenue, only cutting will not work.
Cutting services like Medicaid will also increase our hospital and health costs. Instead of someone being able to take their child to a doctor they will have to wait until the condition is serious enough for the ER.
Providing and wanting help our fellow citizens is not a bad thing or "socialism". Wanting a state where the poor aren't starving or lacking in basic health care is not "socialism". The GOP propaganda machine is a good one. It has somehow convinced Christains that help for the poor is a bad thing and more money for the wealthy (by cutting services to the poor) is a good thing.
Now I don't agree with everything the Democratic party is doing but at least they do not use God's name as justification for their greed.
What functioning & succesful society in history and/or present has no government? I don't know of any. Somalia currently doesn't have a functioning central government but it's not what I would call a "succesful" society.
I don't want government to completely run my life, like say determine what I can do in my own home and bedroom, what medical services I can get, what I can put in my own body, or who I can fall in love with (that to me is BIG government) but I do want a government that provides services. Things like roads, schools, emergency services, police officers, courts, aide to the poor. That is what I believe government is for. To say "government" in general is what is holding us back is very ignorant or willfully disingenuous. I don't mind paying taxes when I know it helps out my fellow man, while that be decent roads that I may never drive on or good schools in which I have no children going to, because I know that a society that looks out for each other is a functioning/healthy society and I want to live in a succesful and functioning society.
Read a history book folks. You could really learn a lot and the Bible doesn't count, we all know everyone has already read that :).
It's funny how our the legislators found money for their raises, millions to defend the immigration law in court, and money to give companies state taxes but yet can not fund basic services. We aren't even half way through the fiscal year and already proration. Does anyone high up in Alabama government know what they are doing or do they care?
Raise property taxes!!! We need to stop letting rich out of state land owners decide the future of our state. Not to mention other out of state interests that determine our fate, gambling and the lottery. Why are we ok letting other states determine what happens here?
I also want to add that there was a time in Alabama and U.S. history in which there were not social programs, employers were not regulated and people were left to fend for themselves. I have no desire to go back to the 1800s and I have no idea why so many people are hellbent on doing just that.
All of those calling for gutting or terminating social programs that help poor children, please read some history of this state and country. It was not pretty or pleasant.

Peery Participation in Enslavement
Tazewell County, Virginia
Here is a collection of selected histories, research reports and letters that contribute to our knowledge of Peerys participating in slave ownership during that period in American History, culminating with the Civil War in the 1860s. Enslavement was practiced in Virginia in the 1700s and 1800s. Virginia citizens played a leading role in the fight against the abolition of slavery and were defeated.
S. Paul Peery, Orlando, FL, Dec. 16, 1996 - Historical Report
- Slaves in Tazewell County, Virginia. Peery ownership of slaves. Personal Property Tax Lists 1800-1860. Census data of 1840 for Tazewell County. County record documentation. Names of individual Peery slave owners. Names and ages of their slaves and how many owned in specific years.
Sonia L. Walker's - African American researcher
- In her E-mail message of July 20, 1997, she provides insight into the enslavement issue. Additional resources.

This month, our CEO, David Blumenthal, celebrated a big birthday. We honored the day at our annual company barbecue. As a special way of recognizing David's birthday, an afghan was created from a patchwork of knit and crochet squares created by people who work at Lion Brand, as well as some names you may know from the world of knitting and crochet. Included among the designers and makers of squares were Nicky Epstein, author, designer and creator of one of Lion Brand's most enduring patterns, the Tree of Life; Trisha Malcolm, the editorial director of Soho Publishing; and Nathan Vincent, the fiber artist who designed the 7 Wonders Of The Yarn World. There were also squares made by Vanna White and her daughter Gigi.
David was surprised and thrilled with his gift as you can probably tell from the smile on his face!
If you are giving a group gift to someone, why not try this idea of having a number of people contribute squares to make an afghan to commemorate the occasion? Here are a few afghan patterns to get you started:
|Knit 9 Cousins Lapghan
|Crochet Baby Squares Storyteller Afghan
|Knit Basketweave and Slip Stitch Afghan

Ahhh, finally done with your latest knitting project. Now you can't wait to finish so, in a final flurry, you bind off all your stitches and…oh no. The sweater won't fit over your head or the bound off edge of the blanket is narrower than the cast on edge.
What have you done? You bound off too tightly.
I've done it myself. You might not notice if it's a scarf because a scarf is narrow. The bound off edge does not have as much "give" as the rest of the knitting. That's why it's difficult to get the neckline of that sweater to stretch enough to fit over your head.
Always, always, always bind off loosely. This includes the stitches that you are knitting or purling during the process as well as when you pass a stitch over and off. Don't tug, pull, or yank the yarn as you work each stitch. I know that it seems so loose that it's tempting. But don't. If you find you are binding off too tightly and can't manage to do it more loosely, use needles one or two sizes larger than the size you used to knit the piece.
Binding off, sometimes called casting off, actually creates a final row of fabric, so what stitches you work as you bind off does make a difference. You can simply knit across as you bind off as many people do; but upon close inspection you'll see the difference in the details.

The research is in and there's no denying it: people who knit and crochet have a much better chance at staying healthy, being happy and getting organized.
In the past few years, reports from authoritative sources such as CNN, the Huffington Post and Oxford University, cite evidence to support the fact that knitting and crochet can change your life in many ways … and for the better.
Health is a serious matter for all of us, so we took some time to compile our favorite writings on the matter; articles from Lion Brand bloggers such as Kathryn Vercillo and investigative reports from mainstream media outlets such as the Washington Post.
We hope that you find this round-up useful and that you'll include knitting and crochet as part of your personal health and wellness plan. It works!

As a fourth generation family member of Lion Brand, I've had a lot of opportunities to meet and talk with very passionate people that are prominent within the yarn industry; people like Janet Johnson Stephens, Rita Weiss, and Gwen Blakely Kinsler. I met Gwen a number of years ago when I spoke to her Guild in Rolling Meadows, Illinois and I was impressed with the many ways she has contributed to the craft industry.
Gwen was instrumental in establishing the Crochet Guild of America (CGOA) organization 20 years ago and is also an author, designer, teacher and writer of everything crochet.
This year, the Crochet Guild of America chose Gwen as their 2014 recipient for the Jean Leinhauser Hall of Fame Award. Her passion and determination to host the first meeting with crochet enthusiasts in Chicago is now recognized as an incremental part of yarn history.
For everyone who is passionate about yarn and loves to crochet, Gwen Blakely Kinsler is an inspiration. I'd like to congratulate her on this well-deserved honor.

There are many stitch patterns available in books, magazines, and online–and probably just as many that have not been invented yet. You will find a large selection in the StitchFinder. To use them for simple projects like scarves, dishcloths, and afghans, keep in mind that these projects can all be simple squares or rectangles. You can just cast on the appropriate number of stitches according to your gauge and desired width (stitches per inch × desired width = the number of stitches to cast on) and start knitting.
But to get the most out of these stitch patterns, you'll want to consider a few factors before getting started.

Sometimes you need to use your powers for good and not evil. Or rather, use your skills for necessity, rather than indulgence.
This week, I rounded up all the scraps of cotton jersey in my stash, to whip up a few simple pairs of loose leggings for the kids to wear to bed. Here's the proof.
I'm so happy to clear some of this stuff out of the stash.

Stashbustin': Sewing for the family
2 comments:
Does that mean I should be hemming the curtains in my living room that are inches too long rather than making another dress? Nah!ReplyDelete
I love the leggings. So much nicer than the chain store ones available (which I find last half a season before they get holes in them!) I know the feeling, I'm not half as experienced as you at sewing and I dread stretch fabric.ReplyDelete
Thanks for leaving a comment. I love reading them, but don't always have the time to respond. Please email me if you have a pressing question :)

The Musical." Christine Lakin (left) co-stars as Clarice Starling, the FBI trainee who enlists him to help apprehend a serial killer.
A prison guard (Jeff Hiller) probably won't survive his encounter with Hannibal Lecter (Davis Gaines) in "Silence! The Musical."
Davis Gaines, who plays Hannibal Lecter in "Silence! The Musical," won't let his parents see him perform in the show. "I just couldn't sing (these songs) in front of my mom," he told LAArtsOnline.com.
FBI trainee Clarice Starling (Christine Lakin, left) matches wits, and sings a song or two, with the brilliant-but-insane Hannibal Lecter in "Silence! The Musical," a "Silence of the Lambs" parody at the Hayworth Theatre in Los Angeles. In the background are two of the floppy-eared bunnies who narrate the onstage action.

DENIED. Judge denies NOM's attempt to defend Oregon's marriage ban.
DENIED. That's what a federal judge just told the D.C.-based National Organization for Marriage as they desperately sought to defend Oregon's marriage ban in court today.
After no one—literally no one—would defend our state's constitutional amendment blocking same-sex couples from marrying, NOM went to court this morning, hoping to step in to uphold it.
But the judge didn't buy it. He heard NOM's arguments, and he decided that in refusing to defend the ban, Attorney General Ellen Rosenblum—not an out-of-state interest group—accurately represented the views of Oregonians.
In his ruling, Judge McShane said, "This is an Oregon case and will remain an Oregon case," giving a nod to the fact that the anti-equality group is actually based in DC and not representative of the Oregonian people as a whole. Then Judge McShane went further arguing that NOM cannot intervene "simply because the organization disagrees" with the interpretation of elected officials.
Following the ruling, NOM asked McShane to stay his decision, but he declined. It is expected that now, NOM will appeal his decision to the 9th Circuit Court.
Nevertheless, today's ruling is a huge victory—and it paves the way for what we hope will be the ultimate victory: winning marriage for all loving couples in Oregon.
Now, we wait for Judge McShane to issue his ruling on the ban itself. And, as we do, we'll be sure to keep you updated every step of the way.
Thousands of you have already texted LOVE to 877877 to be the first to know when the judge rules on marriage in Oregon. If you haven't yet, now's your chance!

Round out your SRM350 with this Mackie product:
12 Channel Live Sound Mixer w/ Effects
Powerful, Studio-Quality Sound Is Now Ultra-Portable.
There's a reason that Mackie Portable Active Loudspeakers outsell everything else on the market 10 times over. Although we're far from the cheapest option, the Mackie SRM Series delivers sound quality that just isn't possible from other "powered" designs. Case in point, our SRM350. This "little brother" to the SRM450 puts the same studio-quality sound and renowned Mackie Active Technology into an even more compact package – great where space is at a premium.
Thanks to countless hours of R&D — and a very-hard-to-please Greg Mackie — the SRM350 delivers real, accurate bass down to 61Hz, midrange that's free from ear-fatiguing harshness, and detailed treble out to 22kHz. With innovative Dynamic Bass Boost for full sound at any volume level, a Contour control for precision response — and most importantly, award-winning Mackie Active speaker design, the SRM350 is in a class all its own.
Ever been stuck in the back or side of the room at a great show, wishing the sound didn't suck? We have; that's why we gave the SRM350 an acoustically non-resonant exponential waveguide, which allows for much wider, even dispersion of mid- and high-frequencies. A single pair of Mackie SRM350s can fill a medium-sized room with near studio-quality sound. Then you won't have to listen to the whine of your disgruntled customers, complaining about their bad seats.
In most loudspeakers, the compression driver that reproduces the mid- and high-frequencies is located deep inside the enclosure, while the low-frequency driver is much closer to the front. In this type design, treble arrives at the listeners' ears later than the bass, resulting in a loss of intelligibility. Our engineers bent the "space-time continuum" with our time-delay crossover and high-frequency waveguide to create precise alignment of the transducers. The end result is treble content that no longer vanishes into a black hole.
Anyone can build a box and stick some speakers in it (in fact, that's just what many of our competitors do). But low-frequency transducers (woofers) in square boxes often create resonances that reflect off the walls and pass back through the woofer cone out of phase with the main signal, muddying up the overall sound. Since there are no parallel surfaces in our asymmetrical, monocoque (pronounced mono-coke, Fr. for single-shell) enclosure, the SRM350 doesn't have this problem. We also added adiabatic foam damping material to soak up any unwanted internal reflections. Put simply, our innovative box shape makes sound, well, better!
It's okay you can admit it, most of the time your PA speakers are running full out. That's why we gave the SRM350 two powerful FR (Fast Recovery) series amps, each designed specifically for their respective high- and low-frequency drivers. You can trust these amplifiers to power our speakers to the "max," without any danger of pushing them beyond their limits. With the Mackie SRM350, you don't have to worry about amplification — you just plug-and-play.
Often imitated, but seldom matched, Mackie Active design circuitry extracts the most low-end from even the tiniest enclosure. Based on our award-winning HR824 studio monitor technology, the servo-feedback damping electronics within the SRM350 "lock" the woofer in place with the output of the LF amplifier in a way that no external amp and passive woofer ever could. This constant correction produces tight, articulate bass without the tubbiness, or distortion common among most small enclosures.
People keep telling us that SRM350s make terrific floor monitors. That funny shape (yes, we actually intended it to look that way) allows it to be tilted — and it sounds great. The SRM350 has incredibly smooth, spike-free response and dispersion over a wide range of treble frequencies. So you can turn up the volume without boosting those obnoxious, feedback-inducing spikes. No passive loudspeaker or specialized floor wedge in its class can compete with the Mackie SRM350.

About the Port Richmond Library
Located two blocks from Port Richmond Avenue along Bennett Street and opposite Veterans Park, the Port Richmond Branch opened its doors in 1905 as one of the branches built with funds from Andrew Carnegie. The branch, with its fireplaces, oak shelving, and original turn-of-the-century furniture, provides an inviting space to read, study, or enjoy free programs. A major renovation of the Children's Room in 2008 provided new lighting, furniture, and computers for children. Programs take place in the Chimes Playhouse, a charming auditorium, which was added in 1939. The library's holdings have grown steadily since 1905 and now include large young adult and Spanish collections. Port Richmond also houses a small collection of materials on the history of Staten Island.

Ian Rush knows a thing or two about scoring goals - and he thinks the 'absolutely incredible' start to life at Anfield by Daniel Sturridge is only the beginning of things to come from the England man.
Sturridge fired 11 goals in just 16 games following his January move to L4 and Rush is a big fan of the No.15.
"Sturridge can get even better without a doubt," said the Welshman, our all-time top goalscorer with 346.
"He's got some great skill and with a good pre-season I think you will see an even better Sturridge next season.
"He needs to get fully fit. He was absolutely incredible in some of the games. He has got a good football brain, Coutinho has as well - some of the passes he put through were absolutely superb.
"When you've got the likes of Coutinho, Sturridge, Luis Suarez, Steven Gerrard and people like that you have got four or five people who can win your games when previously we only had one or two.
"Sturridge has had a couple of little injuries but if he can get fully fit and get through the pre-season then I think there are exciting times ahead.
"We know we can keep clean sheets. We are an attacking team who do create a lot of chances but it's all about putting them away.
"I'm looking forward to the new season. You look at the other teams like Manchester United with the manager gone so if we can get off to a good start, I think there are exciting times ahead."
The Welsh legend was speaking after signing copies of his brilliant newly-released book 'Ian Rush: My Scrapbook' at the club's L1 store.
His father Francis first started a modest scrapbook comprising local newspaper cuttings of his son's footballing achievements in the early 1970s - and little did he realise what it would lead to.
Rush went on to become one of the world's greatest strikers and his amazing 346-goal tally for Liverpool will arguably never be surpassed.
Now, Rush has unearthed his father's original scrapbook and dusted down his many other prized personal treasures, many of which are being revealed for the first time.
He said: "It's always great to meet the fans. I've got my scrapbook out which brings back some great memories and it's nice to see so many people coming to buy it.
"It was great to bring back some old photos and relive some great memories from winning the European Cup, the FA Cup etc, and I'm so happy I did it."

The actor celebrated his birthday with a party at the Soho Beach House Hotel in Miami, Fla., where he lounged by the pool – and got his face painted!

Click Here to Watch the Whole Video in HD at Broke Straight Boys
These boys are very hot and very straight but most of all they are broke. Rather then lose their apartment, girlfriend, etc. they do sexual things with other guys for some quick cash.
I brought Drew and Diesel back in to take things another step further from their last shoot that they were in. I wanted them to do anal together, both didn't have a problem with it at all. Drew said that he was down for receiving, but knew that with only bottoming a couple of times this one was going to be the biggest. In the shoot I didn't waste any time in talking in the beginning and asked the guys to go ahead and start getting undressed for me. As they started to strip down out of their underwear I brought up the fact that someone had already won Diesel's underwear in an auction and we were going to use them like a cum rag in the shoot. I asked Diesel how long he had been wearing them and he said three days. Drew had on a colorful pair of underwear, compared to Diesel's white briefs. Sitting on the couch the last step in getting undressed was for them to take off their socks.

ACC's Swofford believes Power 5 autonomy coming
GREENSBORO — ACC schools, its commissioner believes, will soon have a degree of autonomy with four other leagues while remaining under the NCAA umbrella.
John Swofford offered his prediction in convincing tone and talking points Sunday during his forum kicking off the league's annual gathering of football coaches, players and media.
"I'll be very surprised if it doesn't pass," Swofford said of an Aug. 7 date when the NCAA's steering committee on governance will send a final recommendation to the NCAA board on restructuring and the Power 5's request for autonomy.
The ACC is aligned with the Big Ten, Big 12, Pac-12 and Southeastern conferences in trying to remain in the NCAA, including the enormous dollars of the men's basketball tournament, while being able to have certain rules not needing approval from other Division I members. They say the cause is anchored by "student-athlete welfare" issues, such as cost of attendance scholarships, medical care after playing and financial support to finish degrees.
The Power 5 conferences include 65 schools, most with nine-figure operating budgets. The NCAA currently has three divisions, with varying rules governing each, such as scholarship limits by sport. If autonomy isn't granted, the NCAA could soon have four divisions and significant change to March Madness involving smaller schools, some who don't play football.
"The autonomy aspect of it just opens up a lot of opportunities for the five conferences to do some things that we feel are important, and most of those things are initially related to the student-athletes' situation," Swofford said.
He later added, "The good ship status quo has sailed. It's time for some changes and some significant changes. And it's going to present some challenges, but it's time for that, and those are the right kinds of things to do and to address."
Interestingly, Swofford said one of those things is "… it's time for our student-athletes to have a voting voice at the national level. That is going to be in there."
Whether the athletes know about it, or care, is up for debate.
Duke lineman Laken Tomlinson is currently working on a double major with plans to be a neurosurgeon — possibly after an NFL career. He could be Duke's highest draft pick in years if not decades.
He said autonomy sounded like a "recipe for disaster." He also followed that by saying he had not been made aware the change was close to happening, or that his league commissioner was pushing for it.
Asked what things he'd like to see in the deal for players, North Carolina's Norkeithus Otis said he didn't know of anything.
"A lot of the rules we have were made so long ago and were made for the good of the student-athletes," said N.C. State's Art Norman. "But a lot of things have changed."
He added, "It wouldn't be right to just pay the football and basketball players and not the other athletes. That wouldn't be fair."
And Norman admitted he hadn't given it much thought since he's a senior and wouldn't experience the changes.
But Swofford, after opening with accomplishment after accomplishment for the football slice of the league, is excited about a new model. He said the choice and momentum was made before the possibility of Northwestern's players forming a union.
"A lot of the issues that arose out of the Northwestern situation were issues that had already been identified," Swofford said, "and this whole effort to restructure and give more autonomy to the schools that have the financial resources to address some of those issues started long before the Northwestern situation arose."
Should the Power 5 be granted their wishes, several details will still need to be worked out, Swofford said. But the 18th-year ACC commissioner said the group is together on the concept.
"I think, within the five," Swofford said, "we'll need to immediately begin developing a process for the five conferences and how we operate together in bringing about legislation that would be permissive for the five as well as beyond the five for those who would want to take part in it.
"There's going to be a lot of work to be done after Aug. 7th if this passes, as I believe and hope that it will, in order to start the ball rolling and determine how we are going to function."
And the ACC, like the other four leagues, has a wish list.
"Well, the scholarship, I think probably the four-year scholarship, probably some changes in regulations related to the elite athletes and how they are able to make determinations as to whether they should go pro or not and who they can talk with during that process and still not lose their eligibility," Swofford said. "And student-welfare issues, the 20-hour rule. That's being abused — we know that. And what are the best scenarios for student-athletes in an educational environment that allows them to excel at the highest level but gives them the freedom to take advantage educationally of the things that they may want to take advantage of educationally.
"That's important, too. I think there's some things we need to look at — we talked about health and safety issues. Those would be on the table. So if you notice, that top five or six list is really related to the experience of the athlete."

Picking gender neutral bedding for the nursery
Even though the technology is available, many parents-to-be want to be surprised when they finally have their baby. This is becoming more and more common. The only thing is that you still have to prepare the nursery before the baby comes. It is no longer necessary to have a strictly pink room for a baby girl or blue for a baby boy. It's 2012 and there are many more options when it comes to decorating and furnishing the nursery
Plaid baby bedding is perfect when you are trying to create a gender neutral nursery. You can with all kinds of color schemes, whether you want to try greens and yellows or blues and pinks. Plaid baby bedding can come with different themes as well, such as a musical or animal theme. Both are gender neutral as well. Another little bonus with plaid bedding is that any stubborn stains that will inevitably get on the bedding, will camouflage themselves more so than with solid colored bedding.
If you are looking for a gender neutral theme for your nursery, try a monkey theme. A monkey crib set would be a fun, practical and endearing way to decorate your nursery. Again, you won't have to worry about it not working for a boy or girl. Those rules don't really apply any longer, especially now that it is 2012. You can try a purple monkey theme if you wanted! Then all you need are a few baby safe stuffed animal monkeys to put the finishing touches on your nursery.
When it comes to the material of the bedding for your nursery you want to pick something that is soft and won't irritate your baby's skin. Try to go for 100% cotton whenever possible. Make sure that the bedding you are picking is thick enough to keep your baby warm. Other than that, you just want to make sure you pick baby bedding that will make you and your baby happy.

I have a request...I normally use Genesis adon to watch all my series in english but frequently I use the plugin Pelisalacarta to watch my spanish series. I haven´t found a way to add my series from pelisalacarta library to my LazyTv....would you please help me to do it?
Note: What I need is an option to populate the menu from an additional library path because Pelisalacarta library path is a bit different to any other addon.
Unfortunately, LazyTV only works off the Kodi library so it cant roll in other databases.Building that individual database interaction would be very difficult.
Can the other database be imported into Kodi's library? (I dont know what those other addons are.)
Thanks for your response, I already find a way to make this other addon work if the Kodi library and that way Lazy TV is able to detect it but as the only two scrapers available on Lazy dont have much info on spanish movies and series what I do is to rename my movies with an english title in order to make it work. Is there a way to add another scraper?

NEW YORK (AP) An associate of a notorious Russian arms dealer was arrested in Australia and charged with conspiring to buy planes so that weapons could be transported to the worlds bloodiest conflicts, a U.S. prosecutor announced Thursday.
Syrian-born American Richard Ammar Chichakli was arrested Wednesday at the request of U.S. authorities on charges that he conspired with Russian arms merchant Viktor Bout and others to try to buy the planes from two U.S. companies.
His arrest was first confirmed by the Australian Fairfax Media news organization, which reported Thursday that he was arrested in the city of Melbourne after applying for a post in the government Protective Service Office, a law enforcement agency. The news service reported that Chichakli said nothing during a Thursday hearing at the Melbourne Magistrates Court.
A lawyer for Chichakli told officials that his client had identified himself as Jehad Almustafa. Chichakli was held pending the processing of a U.S. extradition request.
U.S. Attorney Preet Bharara, the chief federal prosecutor in New York, said Chichakli consorted with the worlds most notorious arms trafficker in the purchase of aircraft that would be used to transport weapons to some of the worlds bloodiest conflict zones, in violation of international sanctions.
Michele M. Leonhart, administrator of the Drug Enforcement Administration, said the international law enforcement community has long recognized Chichakli as a key criminal facilitator in Bouts global weapons trafficking regime.
His arrest means the world is safer and more secure, she said in a release.
Bout is a former Soviet air officer dubbed the Merchant of Death because of his 1990s-era notoriety for running a fleet of aging Soviet-era cargo planes to conflict-ridden hotspots in Africa. He also inspired the arms-dealer character played by Nicolas Cage in the 2005 film Lord of War.
Bout was sentenced last year to 25 years in prison after a trial in Manhattan.
An indictment against Chichakli in U.S. District Court in Manhattan and other court documents accuse Chichakli of working as a close associate of Bout since at least the mid-1990s to assemble a fleet of cargo planes capable of shipping weapons and military equipment to various parts of the world, including Africa, South America and the Middle East.
Prosecutors say the arms have helped fuel conflicts and support regimes in Afghanistan, Angola, The Democratic Republic of the Congo, Liberia, Rwanda, Sierra Leone and Sudan.
Over the years, Chichackli has weaved a colorful biography of his past, but often repudiated his comments under the glare of law enforcement scrutiny.
He has claimed to have befriended a young Osama bin Laden during college days at Riyadh University in Saudi Arabia. He also claimed a stint in the U.S. Army, replete with intelligence training and service in the first Gulf War. And he talked openly of his work for Bout, but also minimized his connections.
In a 2010 interview with the Associated Press in Moscow, Chichakli said that the U.S. conspiracy charges against Bout were lies and voiced fears that if he went on trial in New York, the proceedings would be tainted.
The U.S. made up this case for one simple reason, he said at the time. To get to Viktor Bout. Chichakli said then that he had never done business with Viktor Bout.
The indictment accuses Chichakli and Bout of violating sanctions by arranging to buy two Boeing aircraft from U.S. companies in 2007. It says they electronically transferred more than $1.7 million through banks in New York and into bank accounts in the U.S., though the money was blocked by the U.S. Treasury Department before it reached the aviation companies accounts.
The Treasury Department had imposed an asset freeze against Chichakli in April 2005 as part of larger financial sanctions aimed at the Bout networks dealings with the dictatorial regime of Liberian President Charles Taylor. The department called Chichakli, who once ran a small conglomerate of Texas-based businesses from a Dallas suburb, Bouts U.S.-based chief financial officer.
Federal agents raided Chichaklis offices within hours of the sanctions, and the accountant quickly fled the U.S., flying to Cairo and then Moscow using frequent flyer miles to help avoid arrest.
Rejoining Bout in Moscow, Chichakli sued to overturn the sanctions against him, challenging Treasurys jurisdiction, but a federal judge ruled in favor of the government in 2008.
If convicted, Chichakli faces up to 20 years in prison on each of nine counts, including conspiracy to violate the International Emergency Economic Powers Act, money laundering conspiracy, wire fraud conspiracy and six counts of wire fraud.
Braun reported from Washington.
