Visitor Tips
When planning your trip to the Spring Home Show, the BIA offers these tips to make your visit enjoyable.
- Where can I park? There is limited parking on F&M's campus, but if you'd prefer front-door service, we are recommending that you enjoy our relaxing shuttle service that will take you from Clipper Magazine Stadium to the show's front door. When you are finished browsing, you can take the shuttle back to your vehicle. Directions and Parking Details
- What Should I Wear? With over 52,000 square feet of exhibit space, there is a lot of ground to cover. We recommend you wear comfortable shoes and clothing. If you are coming with young children, we encourage you to bring a stroller or a backpack so the kids don't tire from walking.
- What Should I Bring? If you are coming to the show to shop for a contractor to do your project, make sure you come prepared with pen and paper in hand to take notes. Bring along photos and dimension of the project you have in mind. This information will help in your discussions with the exhibitors. The BIA will provide you with a bag when you get to the show to assist you in collecting flyers and business cards from exhibitors.
- How Much Time? The BIA recommends you give yourself at least 1.5 to 2 hours to view the show. This will give you ample time to view the displays, talk to the exhibitors about your project and still not feel rushed.
- Can We Eat at the Show? There is a snack bar open during the show where you can purchase a drink or a light snack.
- How Do I Register for the $1,000 Giveaways? The reverse side of your ticket into the show is the entry form. Simply fill that out once you get to the show and you are entered! You do not need to be present to win.

BARTON – In what is becoming an alarming trend statewide, a Greensboro, N.C. man died after a car crash early yesterday morning but his passenger, who was wearing a seat belt, escaped with minor injuries.
State police say Quinn Finnegan, 23, lost control of his 1998 Mercedes Benz on Route 16 in Barton at around 1:10 AM. The vehicle left the south side of the road, traveled back across both lanes, went off the north side of the road and down a small embankment, struck several trees and overturned. The vehicle sustained damage to the front end and roof.
Finnegan was not wearing his seatbelt. He was pronounced dead at the scene.
Finnegan's passenger, Kelsey Crelin, 27, of West Glover, sustained minor injuries. Emergency responders treated her on the scene. She was wearing her seatbelt.
This accident makes the third fatal crash and fourth death that troopers from the Derby barracks handled in the past four to five weeks.
Sgt. Michael Lacourse said police are still investigating most of the crashes and can't comment on the causes. Lacourse said the operators in two of the three crashes were not wearing seat belts, which seem to have contributed to the deaths.
Part of the investigations might include collecting data from the airbag control modules. Similar to black boxes in airplanes, the modules collect information like rpms of the engine, vehicle speed and if the occupants used seatbelts.
"It kind of gives a picture of what the entire vehicle was doing as a whole prior to the crash," said Lacourse.
Most newer vehicles have devices that record information. It's not yet known if Finnegan's vehicle has the device.
Lacourse isn't sure if the sudden rash of fatal accidents out of the Derby barracks is a record, but said there has certainly been a spike compared to previous years.Â
Lacourse suggested one reason for the increase is drivers using deceives like cell phones. "There's always a risk of driver distraction," he said. "Speed of course can always be a factor."
Lacourse hopes the spike is a coincidence and the numbers will decrease.
"We'd like to have it at zero if possible," said Lacourse. "We do that through increased traffic operations patrol."
Police work towards getting the numbers at zero by doing speed enforcement, DUI enforcement and other techniques. They also encourage seat belt use and slower and less aggressive driving. Police discourage texting and driving.
As the Labor Day weekend approaches, police stateside and nationwide will step up patrols.

HOUSTON, Nov. 16 -- US drilling activity fell by 51 rotary rigs to 1,941 working, up from 1,797 during the same period last year, said Baker Hughes Inc.
Land operations accounted for the bulk of the loss, down 51 to 1,856 units drilling. Inland waters activity was down by 1 rig to 21. That was offset by an increase of 1 rig in offshore drilling to 61 active units in the Gulf of Mexico and 64 total in US offshore waters.
Of the rigs working in the US, 1,498 were drilling for natural gas, down 41 from the previous week, and 429 were drilling for oil, down 13. There were 3 rigs unclassified. Directional drilling declined by 4 to 389 rigs; horizontal drilling was down 20 to 624.
Texas drilling dropped by 23 rigs to 899 still working. Louisiana was down 13 to 178, while New Mexico lost 12 to 80. Oklahoma lost 6 to 189. Wyoming was down 3 to 74.
Unchanged rig counts included Colorado, 124; North Dakota, 90; California, 46; and Alaska, 10. Arkansas gained 2 rigs for a total of 59.
Canada's rig count declined by 27 to 418 rigs working compared with 356 in the same week a year ago.

Brenda has raised seven children and still has two teenagers living at home. One is still in high school, while the other, a recent graduate, has been able to find only a part-time job. Her husband's company hasn't given a pay raise in three years and Brenda supplements the income from her own part-time job by waitressing at a local restaurant two or three nights a week. Family vacations went out of the household budget years ago, and the minor luxury of eating out once a week has been supplanted by an occasional sending out for pizza. Faced with rising prices at the gas pump, the supermarket, and various points in between, Brenda (not her real name) is used to finding ways to scrimp and save to feed her family.
"I use cheaper cuts of meat, or I buy stuff when it's on sale, or I buy in bulk," she said. "You have to really be on your toes and be aware of how much you're spending." She wonders how retirees on Social Security are surviving, but concludes, "Working families are not much better off."
The budget squeeze Brenda describes is common to millions of American families trying to earn and save enough to pay for the necessities of life. Yet unless Congress and the White House can agree by year's end on an extension of tax cuts that have been in place for most of the past decade, workers will see an increase in the taxes taken out of their paychecks next year and a loss in the amount they claim for deductions when it comes time to pay their 2013 taxes.
The increases have been dubbed "Taxmageddon," named after the Battle of Armageddon, foretold in the Book of Revelation, that is to occur at the end of this age. Chances are the world won't come to an end on New Year's Day, 2013, but for millions of Americans, it may become a more expensive place to live in. The tax hikes, scheduled to take effect on January 1, will take their toll on families at all economic levels, at an average of $3,500 per household, according to the Tax Policy Center (TPC), a joint project of the Urban Institute and the Brookings Institution. The after-tax purchasing power of low- and middle-income Americans will be diminished, along with the capital available for investment from high-end earners. Some economists are warning that the combination of tax increases and spending cuts required by the sequestration provision of the Budget Control Act of 2011 could knock an already weak economy into another recession, adding to the ranks of the 12 million Americans officially counted as unemployed and the millions more who can find only part-time work, or have given up looking altogether.
"It would probably lead to a recession early next year," predicted Doug Elmendorf, director of the Congressional Budget Office (CBO), unless Congress acts to halt the drive off what some are calling the "fiscal cliff."
"You can call this a fiscal cliff," Sen. Orrin Hatch (R-Utah), ranking Republican on the Senate Finance Committee, said earlier this year. "You can call it Taxmageddon, as others have done. Whatever you call it, it will be a disaster for the middle class. And for the small businesses that will be the engine of our economic recovery."

The Athens area showed itself once again to be a world-class home for the arts with Saturday night's Rose of Athens Theatre performance of Shakespeare's The Comedy of Errors on the lawn at Ashford Manor in Watkinsville.
This unique arrangement of the Bard's comedy classic featured vibrant and unique costume creations, staging that was itself a work of art, and the masterful musicianship of pianist Bryan Shaw –did I hear a few bars of Can't Get no Satisfaction seamlessly woven into the accompaniment?
On Saturday, May 26, Watkinsville celebrated Memorial Day Weekend in the time honored tradition of family fun, picnicking, cakewalks, and speeches honoring America's veterans and local community leaders. With the generous support of local veterans and chapter of the Daughters of the American Revolution, there were hot dogs, ice cream, cheesecake, lemonade, and good cheer for all.

The Elevator Speech Overview
Tuesday marks day eight of the government shutdown and nine days until the Treasury says the debt ceiling will be reached and the federal government can no longer pay for all of the financial obligations Congress has enacted. President Obama and Speaker Boehner held dueling press conferences to reiterate their positions. The President also called Speaker Boehner personally. Neither Republicans nor Democrats showed any sign of wavering in their previously staked out positions.
U.S. House of Representatives
On Tuesday, the House passed another targeted continuing resolution (CR), this time focused on funding Head Start programs. The House also considered a measure that would ensure excepted federal employees (those not furloughed) are paid despite the government shutdown. The House then moved to consideration of the plan announced by Speaker John Boehner (R-OH) today of creating a bipartisan, bicameral committee to negotiate the debt ceiling increase. Also referred to as a "supercommittee," a similar group was convened in 2011 but failed in its effort to avert sequestration budget cuts from occurring. House and Senate Democrats, as well as President Obama, expressed opposition to the Supercommittee Sequel in advance to its consideration on the floor.
Members expect that the current standoff will last at least until the 17th, if not Halloween. Although the Treasury has given October 17th as the date the U.S. will hit its debt ceiling, informed sources speculate that the Treasury has a series of measures in place that can probably sustain past the 17th, creating the possibility of an even more extended fight. A press conference by Treasury on the subject is expected as early as Thursday.
U.S. Senate
On Tuesday, Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-NV) requested a live quorum call in the Senate, which would bring all senators to the floor, in order to have a discussion on the budget and debt issues. Attention has focused on Majority Leader Reid in recent days as one of the driving forces behind Democrats commitment not to negotiate while the government remains shutdown and default looms. Reid continues to have unprecedented unanimity among his caucus for the position that a clean CR should be passed, even if temporary, while spending levels for FY 2014 are negotiated. Majority Leader Reid, President Obama, and Congressional Democrats continue to seek nothing other than re-opening the government before starting the budget discussions.
Majority Leader Reid, together with Senate Finance Chairman Max Baucus (D-MT), introduced a bill to the Senate floor Tuesday to suspend the federal debt ceiling until December 31, 2014, bypassing the committee process. Based on the procedural rules governing his action, the final vote is not likely to occur until October 16. Assuming the support of all 54 Democrats in the Senate, which is not guaranteed, Democrats would still need the support of six Senate Republicans to overcome a filibuster of the bill.
The White House
Following the Tuesday afternoon announcement of Speaker Boehner's proposal to form a bipartisan, bicameral Supercommittee Sequel to negotiate over the debt ceiling, President Obama immediately called the Speaker. President Obama again reiterated that he will not negotiate while the government is shut down and the threat of default hangs over the country. He urged Speaker Boehner to allow a vote on a clean CR, which many believe has enough votes to pass. President Obama held his own press conference later in the afternoon, again calling on Republicans to pass a clean CR and clean debt ceiling limit. Confirming what one of his senior aides said Monday, President Obama said he would be willing to consider a short-term CR and increase in the debt ceiling limit. Providing a temporary respite to the threat of default, Democrats say a short-term debt ceiling increase could offer a window of opportunity for negotiations over long-term federal spending once the government was re-opened.
The White House also said Tuesday that the president will veto legislation to pay excepted, i.e. non- furloughed, federal government employees during the government shutdown, should the House bill reach his desk.
Agency Spotlight: Department of Housing and Urban Development
The Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) responsibilities include operation of the Federal Housing Administration (FHA), mission regulation of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, administration of many affordable housing and homelessness programs, and maintaining current information on housing needs and market conditions, among other things. With approximately 96% of its federal employees furloughed, HUD's operations are drastically reduced. Most HUD field offices are closed and loan processing will be significantly delayed. Suspended services include: the insurance of Title I loans; the underwriting and approval of loans for lenders in pre-closing; approval of lender applications; award announcements; Real Estate Assessment Center (REAC) inspections; and the processing of grantee requests for reimbursement. Services that will continue during the shutdown include: access to grants.gov; HUD homeless assistance grants; guarantee of mortgage backed securities by Ginnie Mae; endorsement of single family loans; issuance of FHA case numbers to lenders; and disbursal of payments for existing obligations.
HUD does not expect a short shutdown to significantly impact the housing market; a longer shutdown does have the potential to impact the entire housing market as shutdown periods could be extended and home sales may decline. For more information on specific activities, please see the HUD Contingency Plan.
Public Opinion
As noted by nationally recognized political analyst Charlie Cook, while nobody looks "good" in situations like this, there is not a single reputable poll that indicates Republicans are even holding their own in the view of the public. In fact, while Congressional Democrats have lost a little ground in their standing, the GOP appears to be performing much worse in the minds of voters. Conversely, President Obama actually gained in public standing, albeit modestly, since the shutdown began. The President has had a net gain of 3% in his approval while Republicans have had a net loss of 9%.
Noted in the last update, results from the Washington Post-ABC poll conducted October 2-6 are more illuminating when compared to results of the previous poll conducted September 25-29:

Unique and Versatile Shirt

Comments about Volcom Calmate Tank Top - Women's:
I adore this shirt. It runs a tad bit large, as the arm holes are cut pretty low, but that actually makes it very comfortable. It looks killer with a pair of white jeans and heels for work and the tribal style pattern adds a little edge to the traditional cut. I am all about the racer back cut as well, it adds some interest to the back. You can wear this dressed up for the office or with a pair of shorts at the beach. Love. It.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

ATLANTA, Ga. - - Georgia Tech's new basketball facility will be open to the public on football game days starting this Saturday. Fans can get a look at the renovated building starting three hours before kickoff, which this week is 3:09 PM, and the building will close one hour before kickoff.
"This is primarily a basketball facility" says Director of Athletics Dan Radakovich. For that reason there the suites many have become accustomed to seeing in new arenas were not put in this plan. Without other events such as concerts it was felt the fan base would be better served with a club level area open to more people than suites would accomodate, and at a more reasonable price.
The first event in the new building will be the November 9 men's game against Tulane University. The name of the court remains Cremins Court in honor of Bobby Cremins who coached the Tech men from 1981-2000. The roof and the original 32 support beams are the only parts remaining from Alexander Memorial Coliseum, home of the basketball teams for 55 years.
