The conclusions range from the fact that although one might see Jentezen Franklin "helping" those who may be classed as "people of color" this does not mean that He will allow any of his family for example his daughters to be in a relationship with those who might be termed "people of color."
It is to be noted that it is one thing to "help" people of color but there is a "brand" of "Christians" and "Christianity" out there that stops short of allowing their family members to BE with people of the opposite race and these conclusions can indeed be expressly made concerning Jentezen Franklin and his allowance of his Caucasian family members to be in a relationship or indeed form a relationship connection with those who are opposite to the racial makeup of his family.

#1 REBUTTAL Owner of company
Jentezen Franklin is NOT Racist.That is a false accusation.
AUTHOR: james360 - (USA)
SUBMITTED: Monday, November 30, 2015POSTED: Monday, November 30, 2015
Rebuttal: Jentezen Franklin has done nothing but kind and excellent things to me and my family for 7 years. Anyone who would falsely Accuse Jentezen Franklin of being racist clearly does not know him. Whoever made this false accusation and filed it is looking to damage a mans repution with out real proof. So I would say they are clearly a liar.
Anyone who knows Jentezen Franklin and has spent any time around him ---knows he is gracious and a giving person.
The person who needs to be investigated is the person that filed this erroneous report. Disgusting.
Are you an owner, employee or ex-employee with either negative or positive information about the company or individual, or can you provide "insider information" on this company?

Jennifer J. Raab is the 13th President of Hunter College, the largest college of the City University of New York.
Since assuming the presidency in 2001, she has led a successful effort to enlarge the faculty and recruit distinguished professors and artists. Standards throughout the college have been raised, and fiscal management has been modernized and strengthened. Hunter has won new levels of government awards, private grants and philanthropic contributions and launched the first capital campaign in its history. Since her tenure began in 2001, President Raab has been responsible for securing more than $225 million in philanthropic support to Hunter College, including, in 2013, a $25 million gift, the largest in Hunter's history.
President Raab's role as an educational leader continues her long career in public service, from lawyer to political campaigner adviser to government official. Her career in government began in 1979 when she became special projects manager for the South Bronx Development Organization, an agency that played a critical role in the renewal of one of the city's most distressed areas, and she was later named director of public affairs for the New York City Planning Commission.
President Raab went on to become a litigator at two of the nation's most prestigious law firms – Cravath, Swaine & Moore and Paul, Weiss, Rifkind, Wharton & Garrison. Quickly earning a reputation as a strong but fair advocate, she was appointed Chairman of the New York City Landmarks Preservation Commission, a post she held from 1994 to 2001.

by Carl Sandburg
Chicago Theme of Strength and Skill
If there's one thing you take away from reading this poem, it's that Chicago is a tough place for tough people. It's a rapidly industrializing city, and we actually see it being built, wrecked, and rebuilt. The poem is a little obsessed with the strength and power of the city, and, by extension, the strength and power of the Chicagoans themselves. And this was before Al Capone showed up on the scene! In fact, the poem's personification basically portrays the city itself as a strapping young laborer—a strapping young laborer who is building the city itself. "Chicago" is not just about the powerful position of the city, but about the brute strength of the people who built it.
Questions About Strength and Skill
- Can you differentiate between Sandburg's description of the city and his description of the city's inhabitants?
- What is the relationship between Chicago and the other cities in America? Does the poem find the same kind of strength in every city?
- What is the relationship between power and industrialization in the poem?
- What is the relationship between strength and violence in the poem?
Chew on This
The city of Chicago isn't strong; its inhabitants are strong. (It must be all that tool making and wheat stacking they do.) The city of Chicago is powerful because its inhabitants are so violent. (It must be all that hog butchering they do.)

Latest Buzz in Hollywood, Celebrity Gossips, & Local Entertainment Updates
Eat Bulaga once had a very successful contest called "That's my boy", which featured talented boys aged seven and below. And now, the long-running noontime show is set to launch a new contest called "That's My Tambay," which aims to compete a similar talent showcase for lesbians on the rival noontime program, "It's Showtime."
During a live telecast on October 30, Joey de Leon officially announced that Eat Bulaga will have a new contest called "That's my Tambay'.
"Mga kaibigan, may bago tayong contest. Bibigyan natin ng pansin ang mga tambay -- ang title: 'That's My Tambay'. Tandaan niyo, maraming nag-ga-graduate ng tambay, so 'yun ang bibigyan natin ng pansin, at ang mga premyo nito, matindi. Pabibigyan natin ng trabaho, pag-aaralin natin, o kaya may training, mga kaibigan," de Leon said. Joey mentioned that the new segment will air this week.
The announcement of TAPE's (Television And Production Exponents Inc. ) new segment was also reported by the news website of GMA-7.
The Filipino slang "tambay" comes from the English phrase "stand by." It largely refers to those who are unproductive or are unemployed, as de Leon used the term on Wednesday(ABS-CBN news).
Meanwhile, "That's My Tomboy" segment of "It's Showtime' has consistently topped on the list of trending topics on Twitter. But with the rival network's announcement, a new battle will begin. So, who do you think will draw more viewers? That's my Tomboy or That's my Tambay?

I'm looking for ANY information for Dayton tractors. I was given a Dayton 16hp. Electric Start, 5 Speed, 38 Inch tractor. It doesn't have blade or deck, also the starter is missing. The tractor is in pretty good condition.Can someone out there help me? Also does anyone out there own a Dayton?
I checked under the seat and here is the Model # 3Z935 D114D S/N 41-025-4401 Dayton 16hp 38" 5 Speed electric. I've checked in depth for Dayton, but haven't come up with a clue.
From Chuck in California...
Regarding the person looking for Dayton tractor info. I have fully restored a Dayton model #147-990-135. It is one of only a very few that were painted red and black.
It was made by MTD and was NEVER sold by Grainger. (This info comes from a LONG TIME employee of MTD) I have a service manual, schematic for the electrical and info on where to get Dayton parts on the West coast.
The Dayton tractor name was a Grainger item, MTD made almost all of their tractors.
- Courtesy "PJ" in Syracuse
Note: You might try the National Central MTD X-Ref at
MTD model cross reference.
From Carlos Cardosa:
I saw your trivia section on lawn tractors and the answer to the question as to where to find parts for a Dayton Tractor. Contact Grainger Parts at 1-800-323-0620 and you should find parts for the Dayton Tractor.

The Town Board Monday unanimously adopted a ban on hydrofracking. The ban is expected to take effect this summer after the state signs off on the local law.
The town currently has a moratorium against the unconventional natural gas drilling method commonly called fracking. The Village of Naples already bans the practice.
The ban will prohibit any new industrial activities involving natural gas that include storage or disposal of natural gas and production wastes and petroleum extraction and exploration.
A copy of the local law is available for review at the town clerk's office, 106 S. Main St., during regular business hours.

Kansas City police have been investigating three shootings over a 24-hour period.
Shootings at 94th Street and Cleveland Avenue and 14th Street and College Avenue were both fatal. On Wednesday afternoon, a man suffered a gunshot wound to the back at 40th Street and Wabash Avenue and received what police said was a life-threatening injury.
The Rev. Tony Caldwell and members of his Stop the Killing KC organization stepped out to try to find ways to curb the violence.
"A lot of times people don't want to talk to police, but they'll talk to us even after the police have left," Caldwell said.
He said he and his group don't want to accept violence in the community any more. Since the group was founded in February 2011, members have worked on nearly 20 homicides and have led police to about 10 people.
"People know who do it, but they're scared to testify," he said. "Well, here you don't have to call in on (the TIPS Hotline). Call us. Whatever it takes."
Anyone with information in the shootings can call Stop the Killing KC at 816-729-2314 or the Crime Stoppers TIPS Hotline at 816-474-8477.

Did you get into voice acting because you were pregnant or on maternity leave?

Foreign Press Golden Globe Awards 2005: The Best And The Worst
This event is considered by many to be a precursor to what will come in Oscar's nominations… a tension filled event with many hopeful anticipating that when the evening is over presenters will have called their name and the globe will be theirs.
While the evening was reminiscent of the days when glamour ruled the red carpet, most of the men looked sharp and elegant and the majority of the ladies were stunning. Plastic surgery is a profession to be in, today.
Glamour is back and living in Hollywood and the stars here shined brightly in our town tonight. In this town where money rules, a different side of Hollywood showed up tonight as the winners accepted their awards and touched our hearts most profoundly, thanking their families and those that no longer are living but are watching from heavens doors. Hollywood with heart.
The Foreign Press Golden Globe Awards started with last year's winner as a presenter and this year's nominee, looking cute in a brown strapless cocktail dress by Carolina Herrera… not her usual glamour, but as always-the fabulous Rene Zellweger.
Hilary Swank looked beautiful in a chic brown Calvin Klein superb creation as the recipient of best actress award. Stunning!!!
Congratulations to Teri Hatcher of Desperate Housewives who looked stunning in her beautiful Donna Karan silver gown, while she shined with pride and natural beauty. The dress, on a scale of 1-5, I give it 3, too busy, had too much going on.
And the ensemble of Desperate Housewives, the sexiest cast, each and every one looked breathtakingly GORGEOUS. Kudos, ladies!
This year, Aviator's Cate Blanchett made it to the top of the BEST list, looking absolutely fabulous in a 1930s-style Jean-Paul Gaultier lavender gown. Now, that is what I call class, once again recalling the glamour of the years gone by.
The bad girl of Desperate Housewives, Eva Longoria, sashayed in a black, bustier cocktail dress with delicate eyelet hemline by one of my favorite masters, Mr. Oscar de la Renta. Girl you are the BEST!!
Samuel Jackson oozes with confidence and grace as he steps with anticipation to the microphone in a brown tuxedo, perfectly fitting to the body that just seems filled with self-assurance and sex-appeal.
Clint Eastwood reflective of the days of glamour and elegance, taking to the stage as the best director, schmoozing with Usher, while looking like a shiny million bucks. What a classy and an attractive man. Just ask Meredith Viera, who flirted with him shamelessly when he guested on The View recently.
The Best dressed couple of the night! Hilary Swank, after winning for her role in Million Dollar Baby as the lens captures a most intimate moment shared with her husband Chad Lowe whom she called, "My everything." Very cool.
Robin Williams, the Cecil B. DeMille Award Winner, whom we all know is an amazingly brilliant and versatile actor, but after tonight he showed yet another side of himself. What a kind heart beats in this outrageous man. One of the most moving moments of the night, and there were many, came at end of his acceptance speech… "I dedicate this award to the memory of a friend of mine. Chris Reeve, I miss you." Looking to Heaven and quoting Shakespeare's Hamlet, Williams said: "May flights of angels sing thee to thy rest, sweet prince. Thank you and good night."
Just ok dressed couple. My countryman, ER's Goran Visnjic with his lovely wife Ivana Vrdoljak, looked unnatural, resembling mannequins in a display window. He is a such hunk. Goran what is with that haircut? And Ivana, no bra doesn't work my dear, get those girls up.
The worst dressed couple: Clive Owen with Sarah-Jane Fento. It is rare that one person makes the worst dressed list twice in the same night. Sadly the very handsome and talented Clive Owen, made it in both worst dreesed male and as couple, Clive, you can't tie your own tie? I won't even touch her dress, it speaks for itself; who is missing a tablecloth?
A ganster incognito, the odd fellow Johnny Depp keeps the conversation alive as he shows up in character, I think, and makes it again on the list of the Worst dressed.
ER's Mekhi Phifer in a black suit paired with a lavender striped shirt, huge bulky watch, accompanied with too much jewelry, looked more like a well-dressed pimp than a Dr. he portrays on ER.
Star Jones Reynolds leads the parade of the Worst dressed, while successfully sabotaging all the hard work getting her new svelte figure and just to cover it with this mummified gown which makes her look like the late Mae West. And who ever tells you how to dress: FIRE THEM. More is not better. Next time leave some of your jewelry in your safe deposit instead. This dress was designed for a flat chested, tall and skinny woman and not for a sexy and voluptuous lady like you.
As clearly can be seen in this 1962 similar design by Oleg Cassini, for Mrs. Kennedy, designed for dinner at the White House honoring Nobel Prize winners of the Western Hemisphere.
Paula Abdul, why, why, why and again why do you do same things over and over again. Fire whoever is responsible for this masquerade. The breasts look like sourdough over flowing the dress; too tight and whole image is overdone for a such petite woman… All this just to be once again on the worst dressed list. Why do women who work so hard to look great sabotage their image???
Closer's Natalie Portman, the winner of the best supporting actress, chose and failed tremendously in the outdated flapper gown, which overpowers her small statue.
Diane Keaton, Globes presenter, never fails to disappoint the critics as she shows up in an unflattering menswear jacket, worn over a floor-length tulle skirt. What… she couldn't decide to go as man or a woman? Drag queen gone bad.
Lisa Marie Presley, what a disaster. I simply hated this Elvira look alike concoction of yard goods. Globes presenter Lisa Marie Presley walked in the wrong store and confused Golden Globes Awards for Halloween? Way too much of everything, from hair to shoes, choker, gown and cape.
One of my favorite comics, Megan Mullally: Worst of everything, starting with a sloppy hairstyle. It seemed she wore a nightgown with a man's shirt tied over it. You think she would take more time to dress going to the car wash then she did for this elegant affair.
The worst crime, and someone should be arrested for this, was the cruel joke of the stunningly beautiful Charlize Theron in a John Galliano for Christian Dior gown… for this hair cut and most unflattering black hair color.

Post subject: question on being induced after a previous c-section
Hi everyone
im 33wks this thursday and im due in hospital on friday to see my consultant to see how things are going with pregnancy and to discuss options for birth due to previous emergency c-section.
My little boy is now 3 yrs old and when I was in labour with him I was taken for a emergency section due to fetal distress n had to have general anaesthetic as epidural didnt work. All was ok in end though.
just wanted to ask opinions or if anyone else knows if my consultant would agree to induce me for this pregnancy as my partner now has a new job over in canada and we really want him home for the birth. Ive read that consultants will not do inducement if you have had a section last time? Is this true. And that being induced can risk uterine rupture?
my plan is to try for a vbac this time, but I understand I may need another section which is fine if needs to be done.
Me and my partner did discuss me going into labour naturally before he was offered this job. But with him being so far from home and the risk of there being no flights available it isnt really a option, plus under canadian law he isnt entitled to paid paternity leave so no chance of him taking time off and waiting for me to go into natural labour because we are not able to afford it at this moment in time.
any help would be appreciated.
Thanks nic x

Hello there,
I had a c section 13 yrs ago with my son due to fetal distress. With my daughter I was going for a vbac which they encourage on my nhs trust. I went 10 days overdue in the end and I was going to be induced, when they do induction after a section they do it by breaking your waters instead of the pessaries or drip. From all what Ive read the chances of actually having the scar rupture is extremely slim, I think they just like to be ultra cautious. I'm not sure where you would stand in getting an early induction, I don't think they'd do it to be honest. Having said that you can have sweeps done from 38 weeks, this is what they did for me. I had one at 38 then 39 and finally 40 weeks. Unfortunately not one of them worked as they couldnt reach my cervix. It was because of this I ended up going straight for a c section as on the day of my induction they couldnt reach my cervix to break my waters.
Having been through an emergency section and then an elective one I have to say the recovery with the elective was so much better I found it quite surprising.
Ttc since December 2007!

I had a section with my son due to non progression after induction. My consultant has refused to induce me this time as when you are induced it forces the body into contractions stronger than if you went natural. I personally wouldnt be induced again as there is more risk. Lots of consultants refuse to induce but some do. Plus there will only be 17 months between mine.
Good luck xx

I had my first by cs but it was because she was breech. I had my second naturally. There was 17 months between them. When I was having my VBAC I was completely unaware that there could be any issues. It's only from coming on ask baby that I found things out.
I was induced with my fourth but only by drip not and I wasn't going to have a full induction. But I didn't need it. Good luck xxxx

Does anyone know of a waterproof MP3 Player or a way to make one waterproof for long distance swims?
The swimp3 is a great product. I've been using it for a while and the sound quality is truly incredible. They really make long swims more enjoyable too. It also comes with software to convert music CDs to mp3s.
I may be able to get you an on-line discount on this product, but I am still awaiting a response from Finis. It might be a few weeks if you can wait that long.
As promised, here is the code for that on-line discount. As I said before, I do a lot of long swims by myself and I'm pretty impressed with the underwater sound quality.
Check it out at www.finisinc.com. Enter my username: "jkenny" and password: "openwater" to get 25% off all listed prices. They also have gear (suits, goggles, etc.) and equipment (paddles, fins, etc.).
Check it out and let me know what you think.

[Image:Maisy.jpg]2011 DOG LICENSES">
This table is used for column layout.
Dog Licenses Available Starting December 9
Printer-Friendly Version
2011 Dog Licenses, which are effective January 1 through December 31, 2011, will be available at the Town Clerk's Office beginning at 10:00 am on Thursday, December 9th. Tag numbers will be distributed on a first come, first served basis. A license may be obtained in person at the Town House on Mondays through Fridays, 8:30 am to 4:30 pm, or Thursdays until 6:00 pm. Licenses may also be obtained by mail or online.
A renewal form will be sent in the mail with the 2011 Census (last week of December), or you can obtain your license early by renewing online at the Town's Website—www.concordma.gov. Click "Online Payments" on the website's front page, and proceed from there. Or send us your name and address, your dog's name, breed and gender, a check for $15 payable to the Town of Concord, and a self-addressed, stamped envelope. Mail to: Town Clerk, P.O. Box 535, Concord, MA 01742. A current rabies vaccination is required. If your dog has been licensed in Concord in the past, or if you use a local veterinarian, then we most likely have the rabies
certificate on file, so it is not necessary to send that to us. If your dog has been vaccinated within the past four weeks we may not have it on file yet, so send us a copy of the vaccination certificate (which will be returned to you with the license). If you did not license your dog in the year 2010 and your dog was over six months of age last year, then you will be required to purchase a 2010 license as well as a 2011 license.
State law requires all dogs over six months of age to be licensed and tagged. Dogs that are not licensed by March 31 each year are subject to a fine of up to $50. The dog officer routinely picks up stray and unlicensed dogs, so please do your dog a favor by buying a license and attaching the tag to the dog's collar. The deadline for licensing in order to avoid a $25 late fee is March 31. Call the Concord Town Clerk's Office if you have any questions or to verify rabies status – 978-318-3080 or email us at firstname.lastname@example.com.

- It is devoted to the responsibility of universities in educating their students and preparing them for life in this century.
- How can we as teachers educate students to be more sophisticated laborers?
- That way parents can educate their children in schools that are paid for by the state but not run by the state.
- Boys are given more preference, so the poor families think that one day girl will go after her marriage, so there is no worth of educating a girl child.
- Well, it served the purposes of the real corporate aristocracy to let them believe that until they had created the means of training and educating their replacements.

duct from mid 17th century:
Duct comes from Latin ductus meaning both 'leading' and 'aqueduct' formed from ducere 'to lead'.

The Paris Las Vegas Buffet is actually called the Le Village Buffet, and it's one of the top buffets in town. (USA Today ranked it as the third best).
It certainly is the most charming buffet in Sin City, with decor and architecture resembling that of a quaint old French village. Like the Wynn, the dining room is more cozy and intimate, rather than the huge, convention hall type atmosphere you often find in Las Vegas buffets. The atmosphere alone is almost worth a trip to this highly-ranked buffet.
The Paris Hotel and Casino itself, opened in 1999, and is situated right on the Las Vegas strip, directly across from the Bellagio. The French theme of this resort includes large replicas of both the Eiffel Tower, and Arc de Triomphe.
In keeping with the theme, the stations at the Paris Las Vegas buffet take on a regional French feel, so instead of heading to the "Meat Station," or the "Salad Bar," you'll saunter through Normandy, Alsace, Burgundy, and other French provinces. You even have the option of sitting inside, or "outdoors" in this faux French village.
As might be expected, the Paris puts a French touch on their cuisine, and they offer French dishes such as quiche, steamed mussels, and at breakfast, French Toast, (sorry, I couldn't resist). But the signature dish here are the crepes. The Paris buffet crepe station features both crepes for meals (meat and cheese and vegetable variety), and dessert crepes, with ingredient choices like from fruit and sweet toppings. While all of these choices are all very delicious, a common complaint is the wait time for the crepe station.
In true French tradition, there are delicious fresh baked breads and pastries. Roasted duck, lamb stew and gourmet cheeses are but of a few of the selections here that you may not find at other buffets. There are freshly made salads, and four different soups. A wide selection of vegetables prepared in different ways provides a nice option for vegans out there, while you carnivores will not be disappointed by the Paris Las Vegas buffet's prime rib.
In addition to sweet crepes, the dessert options include custards, ice cream, cookies, pies, bread puddings, and crème brulee.
Kids three and under eat free, and those 4 through 10 are charged a reduced rate. It's part of the Caesar's Entertainment's Buffet of Buffet pass, for those of you who have purchased it.
Le Village buffet is open from 7 a.m. to 10 p.m. Breakfast goes until 11 a.m., at which point lunch begins, ending at 3:30. Dinner starts at 3:30 p.m until 10 p.m. every day. You have the option of adding on an all-you-can-drink champagne/mimosa option for five dollars.
As with many buffets in Las Vegas, there are often long lines at the Paris buffet. We've heard reports of well over an hour wait time. We're not sure if this is due to limited seating capacity, or its popularity, but if you're able to get there at an off time, (right when they open, or perhaps during a popular show), you'll be able to leisurely enjoy your feast at the Paris buffet.
How much does the Paris Las Vegas Buffet cost? As with most other buffets in town, it depends on the meal. Note that all meal prices below are for those of you who HAVE a Total Rewards Card. Otherwise, add $3 to the price of each meal listed here:
Monday – Friday: $15.99
Saturday and Sunday: $27.99
Every night of the week: $27.99
Also note that the Paris Hotel and Casino is part of the Caesars Entertainment Group, meaning the totallv Buffet of buffets pass is good here.

I, Too, Sing America
by Langston Hughes
Analysis: Tough-o-Meter
(3) Base Camp
Even though there are some really heavy issues to deal with in this poem, this poem isn't designed to throw you any curveballs. The language is direct and the setting is clear. Even with a subtle reference to another poem (Whitman's "I Hear America Singing") in the title and in last line, you can probably pick out main message that Hughes was going for. So be confident! This poem isn't scary.

The Spotlight Series highlights upcoming Latin Jazz musicians that have yet to reach national recognition. Many of these musicians thrive in local scenes and some tour in support of releases. All these musicians contribute greatly to the overall Latin Jazz scene, and they deserve our "spotlighted" attention.
This Is the Life
Grupo Cha Cha
As Latin Jazz has spread across the country, its always interesting to hear what types of influences arise from the local scene, putting a unique spin on the tradition. While we can certainly come to an agreement about the core elements that form the basis of the style, those pieces can be creatively manipulated into something distinct. This doesn't mean that artists have free reign to make arbitrary alterations to the style – the foundation of the genre always needs to be in tact, giving us a sense that the musicians in the area have done their homework. Musicians need to make artistic choices about how they will frame the tradition though, telling us a little bit about how they see the world. Since their perspective is largely based upon the people, places, and things in their immediate area, regional Latin Jazz sounds start to evolve. While areas like New York or San Francisco with established Latin Jazz traditions already have specific elements associated with them, it's always interesting to how the spread of Latin Jazz across the country spurns new regional sounds. Chicago has certainly given the world some strong Latin Jazz releases over the past few years, and This Is the Life from Grupo Cha Cha is another outstanding example of the high level of musicianship and quality coming form the area.
Solid Compositions With An Interesting Combination Of Musical Elements
The distinct personality of the group is most apparent on a collection of original compositions from band members. Flautist Lise Gilly and trumpet player Victor Garcia's intertwining lines meld into beautiful harmonies on "This Is The Life," matching the uptempo and easy going samba groove in the rhythm section. As the melody comes to an abrupt break, Garcia dives into a bop edged improvisation, wrapping the mellow sound of his flugelhorn around the chord changes with a bright rhythmic vitality. Adrian Ruiz constructs a lively solo, letting notes from his Fender Rhodes bounce around the rhythm, until he falls into a percussive vamp, opening the way for an energetic solo from Gilly. The rhythm section plays with grace and strength, providing a driving danzon as Gilly and Garcia delicately combine harmonized and echoed melodies on "Danzon Para Pedro." Pianist Darwin Noguera and bassist Brett Benteler fall into a funky groove while conguero Alberto Arroyo riffs around the transition into mambo section, making way for Garcia's bluesy statement full of screaming percussive notes. A coro works as the bridge between solos, leading into Gilly's improvisation, allowing her to nimbly send notes through the groove and sending the band to an inspired end. Arroyo adds a distinctive Brazilian feel to "Minorian" with his driving pandeiro, while Gilly wraps an active melody around the deep, rich tone of clarinetist Phillipe Vieux's supportive commentary. Guitarist Rob Block takes over the rhythmic momentum on a spacious section with a three-way melodic conversation between Gilly, Vieux, and Ruiz, that provides a beautiful contrast. After a return to the main idea, Block, Vieux, Gilly, and Ruiz each fly through short improvised bursts of energy, adding a brief bit of spontaneity into a composed and elegant song. Vocalist Diana Mosquera reverently sings a santeria song over a strong layer of bata drums on "Elegua," followed by a full chorus of voices that matches the solemn yet assertive drive of the bata. A drum fill leads into a lively merengue groove, which sends the full band charging forward with rapid fire horn lines, a bubbly piano groove, and commanding vocals. As Gilly flies through active sax riffs, Garcia opens into a lyrical solo that hits both the rhythmic and melodic simplicity of the style with both taste and creative musical interpretation. The band members create some solid compositions, letting us see which musical elements they value enough to include in their writing.
A Wide Range Of Cover Songs
The group also makes some interesting choices about cover songs that they arrange into strong performances. Gilly and Garcia place an understated melody with sharp rhythmic edges around a medium tempo son montuno groove on Charlie Otwell's "Peruchin," before falling into long notes which leave room for fills from Arroyo. An assertive percussion break sends the band charging into a solo from Noguera, who creates a colorful statement full of harmonic alterations and forcefully syncopated figures. The band reaches a ferocious momentum as Gilly hits her first improvised note, which she attacks with rhythmic ideas and repeated figures, leading into an aggressive solo from drummer Jean Leroy. Benteler sets a plodding vamp as the foundation to Steve Grossman's "Haresah," leading into a dark and mysterious melody from Gilly and Garcia with lots of open space for coloristic percussion fills. Gilly explores the full range of her instrument on an expansive solo that combines edgy note choices, brash rhythmic hits, and busy lines into an attention grabbing statement. Garcia moves through the rich chord structure with quick runs and sequences, leading into a moody improvisation from Ruiz, whose Fender Rhodes sound adds to the brooding tone of the piece. A memorable bass groove from Benteler and an addictively disjointed montuno from Noguera sets the tone for a spontaneous descarga on Aristides Soto's "Pa Gozar." Gilly blazes through an energetic series of ideas, and after a quick mambo, the band comes down while Noguera lights the groove on fire with a ferocious solo full of virtuosity and syncopated rhythmic placement. Garcia inspires rabid response from the rhythm section with rising melodic sequences, before the group comes back down for a percussive statement from Benteler and then back up for an explosive conga solo from Arroyo. The group includes a range of interesting choices here, ranging from traditional descargas to open and fusionesqe songs that gives us a little bit deeper look at their musical backgrounds.
A Fun And Accessible Side Of The Band
The band reveals a different side to their musical personality with three vocal tracks that contain a more accessible sound. A driving cha cha cha groove pushes a rock influenced horn line towards Nigel Mack's bluesy vocal on "Bedroom Eyes," which gets some soulful interaction from Garcia's funky fills. Nythia Martinez heats up the lyric through a call and response with Mack, speaking to him to Spanish, creating a playful exchange that adds some lively spice to the recording. This track has a decidedly commercial appeal, but its certainly balanced with a healthy dose of jazz influence, supported by an assertive improvisation full of rhythmic edge from Noguera and a bluesy harmonica solo from Mack. There's a refined sense of elegance in the rhythm section's approach to the bolero foundation of "Que Te Pedi," which Mosquera matches with a pure vocal tone that rings with an operatic influence. Ruiz moves the group into a downtempo cha cha cha with a montuno that sets the stage for a solo from Gilly, who tempers a strong collection of tipico lines with creative energy. Mosquera returns with a bit more rhythmic and embellished approach to the melody over the cha cha cha, flying over the band until a strong horn line ends the tune. The rhythm section lays down an understated yet strong son montuno groove beneath a short flute solo from Gilly on "Vamos A La Playa," leading into an impassioned vocal from Martinez. As the band moves through a verse-chorus structure framed by a mambo and coro, a distinctly modern salsa edge emerges, making this an appealing dance track. When the band moves past the vocal though, there's a driving descarga aesthetic, leaving plenty of space for Garcia to roar over the vamp, sending the band charging back towards the vocal. These songs include elements of dance music, jazz, and blues, providing a side to the band that's both fun and artistic.
An Authentic Connection To The Music With A Local Twist
Grupo Cha Cha delivers a strong collection of Latin Jazz on This Is the Life, filled with a tipico foundation, a danceable salsa flavoring, a solid connection to jazz, and a bluesy flair, reflective of their Chicago experience. There's no doubt that the musicians have a good deal of experience with Cuban and Brazilian styles, as reflected in everything from their driving rhythmic feel to their improvisational comfort over different rhythmic backgrounds. Even the repertoire selection shows a diverse connection to the music, ranging from Otwell's west coast cool to the definitively Cuban sound of Soto's "Pa Gozar." The ensemble brings a bit of Chicago flavor into the music with their solid approach to jazz, dance music, and blues. They bring jazz elements into their music with a hard bop to modern leaning, with thick harmonies and improvisations tightly connected to the chord changes. There's a fun and accessible vibe in the music too, ranging from the greasy blues that seeps into the music as well as the liberal use of vocals and salsa aesthetics. This Is the Life contains a wealth of strong performances, with Gilly standing out as a musician with a strong connection to Afro-Cuban styles. Garcia and Noguera have been important advocates for Latin Jazz in Chicago, and their powerful musical personalities make a big difference here. There's a potent mixture of musical elements on This Is the Life, that resonates with an authentic connection to the music with a local twist that makes the album a fun listen with a focused artistic vision.

Canes Assign Ryan Murphy to Kitchener of OHL
First-round selection played three exhibition games for Carolina
Thursday, 10.13.2011 / 10:28 AM ET / News
By Terrell Williams
RALEIGH, NC – Jim Rutherford, President and General Manager of the National Hockey League's Carolina Hurricanes, today announced that the team has assigned defenseman Ryan Murphy to his junior hockey team, the Kitchener Rangers of the Ontario Hockey League (OHL). Murphy earned one assist in four exhibition games for Carolina, but had been a healthy scratch for the Hurricanes' four regular-season contests.
Murphy, 18, completed his second OHL season in 2010-11, ranking second among all Ontario Hockey League defensemen with 79 points (26g, 53a) in 63 regular-season games. The Aurora, Ont., native's 26 goals led all OHL blue liners and ranked second among defensemen across all three of Canada's major-junior leagues. His 53 assists ranked tied for second among OHL defensemen. Murphy (5'11", 176 lbs.) posted 33 assists last season when Kitchener held a manpower advantage, ranking third among OHL skaters in that category.
Earlier this year, Murphy was named the top defenseman at the 2011 International Ice Hockey Federation World Men's Under-18 Championship in Germany. He led Team Canada in scoring with 13 points (4g, 9a) in seven games as the Canadians finished fourth. A year earlier, Murphy captured a silver medal with Team Ontario in the 2010 World Under-17 Hockey Challenge. In December 2010, he attended Canada's National Junior Team's selection camp in Toronto.
Under the guidelines of the NHL's Collective Bargaining Agreement, the Hurricanes were permitted to assign Murphy to his junior hockey team, Kitchener, but not their American Hockey League (AHL) affiliate, the Charlotte Checkers.

I used these for the tables we served food and drinks on at my wedding. They looked really nice and added a more elegant feel as they went all the way to the floor. When I first received my order I was short two tablecloths but once I brought this to their attention they quickly shipped them to me!(Posted on 7/7/15)

Quality Price Fit Appearance
Ordered these linen to use for my upcoming wedding to save money on rentals! Purchased a few others secondhand from a bride and she sent me to this website to complete the set. The quality is fantastic (even the secondhand ones that have been used/washed for a previous wedding). The color is probably more of a dark ivory, even a cream color which looks slightly yellow when folded but when spread across the table, looks great. Highly recommend!(Posted on 3/24/15)

Property owned by Westvaco in the Laurel Creek area of Wood County, was one of 50 acres in the area hit Friday and Saturday by wildfires.
Had it not been such a wet spring, we might have seen similar fires all summer. But three months of virtually rainless weather are catching up with us.
"We've heard of a lot of smaller fires this summer due to unnatural causes," says local forester Gerald Waybright. "If you have a spark, it's going to cause a fire."
Last year, fires burned up nearly 75,000 acres in the Mountain State. A lot of them happened prior to the fall fire season.
"We haven't made up our deficit from two years ago in groundwater," Waybright says. "It's real dry right now, and if we don't get more rain before the first of October, we're going to be hurting as far as wildfires."
As of now, no burning bans have been issued. But that may change, as we approach the fire season, which begins in October.
Waybright suggests being extra cautious if you're burning outdoors.
An important reminder is: NEVER leave any fire unattended.

Bridgette (Frosty)
Tall, blonde with ice-blue eyes. Leader of The Bashers
Tall, pale skinned with blonde hair so light it's almost white. She is Tamm's daughter and Stone's twin sister. Leader of the rival group of kids known as the "Bashers", Frosty is tall and charismatic but unapproachable.
Married to Kormak Dolluson, she has a son Skallii (born March 1187).
She is, also, a suspected victim of domestic abuse, as the back of her legs are heavily scarred. This was presumably done by her father. Despite this fact, her legs are still quite spectacular from the front.

Michellie Jones will miss the 2008 Ironman World Championships in Kona to recover from an injury she suffered while competing in the Ironman 70.3 Cancun. Jones withdrew from the September 21 race in Cancun due to a slight tear in her right calf.
In a a press release on her website Jones said, "One of things that I learned from my disastrous defense of my Ironman World Championship title last year in Kona is that the Hawaiian Ironman is not a place to be unless you are 100 percent. I am really looking forward to coming back to Kona in 2009 with a vengeance. I am extremely disappointed and would like to sincerely thank all my Sponsors and Friends for their support."
The release also stated that "once the injury is resolved, Michellie plans to race several more long course events to finish out the season."
In her Kona debut, Jones won the 2006 women's Ironman World Championship in 9:18:31.

anyone see the article about the slowing of the housing market and the new 2-year high for 30-yr. fixed-rate mortgages?what is driving up the price of this company?
pjv:I would guess that the primary thing driving ITIC's price is YOU!No, seriously, my guess is that it is a good company and is selling at about five times earnings. In addition, the other title companies have been stong lately and some of them have made new highs, including FAF.Have you ever noticed stocks propensities to make their highs right at the peak of danger?That is really my guess of what is going on. Look at what has happened to some of the home builders, particularly TOL. When they "warned", the stock lost 40%. There went the growth premium.
There's a reason why any stock trades at such a low multiple.
OK, I might get tempted at a price somewhat north of 23, and I am guilty of serial overpaying for shares of this company, but I haven't spent THAT much--"just" $400~500k (I'm not sure of the exact total) to date.I stand ready to defend the price to the best of my ability with more money should it drop too much (in my opinion).

Give Jim Johnson credit for one thing after his disastrous opening series with the A's. The new closer isn't afraid to face the music for a bad effort, whether it be a torrent of boos or a probing media horde wanting to know how a guy who saved 50 games last year suddenly looks like he's lucky when he gets an out.
Johnson, who didn't have a great spring, is off to an even worse start in the regular season. As he admitted himself after Wednesday night's three-run blowup when he was entrusted with a 4-3 lead in the ninth, the A's should be 3-0 and they're 1-2 primarily because of him.
Oakland has been exceedingly fortunate with closers over the last several years, so to see Johnson blow games in his first two appearances is a bit shocking.
And the fans, what few of them showed for this latest disaster, don't like it one bit. They started booing after Johnson gave up a leadoff hit to start the inning, and it only got louder as the inning progressed. It's tough enough to blow a couple of games, but Johnson's predecessor, Grant Balfour, was an extremely popular guy and his rage act won over the fans.
Johnson is a more even-tempered sort on the mound, but he could use a little rage right now. Maybe he doesn't have to resort to openly swearing on the mound, but pitching with a chip might not hurt. Closers need some attitude, and right now, Johnson lacks machismo more than anything. The velocity is there. He has the pitch assortment if he can just locate it. Maybe it simply requires a little mad-on for it all to click.
For one thing, maybe he shouldn't be so conciliatory to the boo birds. You can't fault a little booing, but quite honestly, things got a little excessive Wednesday. When Bob Melvin went to the mound to talk to Johnson and infielders, one fan shrieked from the mezzanine deck, "Take him out! Take him out!" So considering all the pitchers the A's had already used, the options were Evan Scribner and Fernando Abad. Please.
Look, Johnson is the guy. The A's are paying him $10 million this season to be the guy and that won't change unless it really goes badly for a good long while. Better to help him try to get his head on straight or this could get real ugly. Right now, he's feeling those boos, and it isn't helping him get it together in his new surroundings.
"I only heard them when I was coming in the game and when I was coming out of the game," he maintained. "They were very supportive when I came in and I respect that, but then they booed me again. What else do you want a crowd to do?"
At the same time, Johnson believes he's giving a good effort.
"I felt like I left it out there," he said. "It's not like I caved, it's not anything like that. I know what it looks like, but every pitch had conviction and intent. Maybe not every one of them was executed perfectly. But I have to keep trusting the process. I know it stings right now and it should, but sometimes it's how you respond to adversity."
The season is still in its extreme infancy. We're three games in. It's no time to be panicking about Johnson, and Melvin certainly wasn't afterward. He needs to keep getting the ball, though, to get out of this early slump as soon as possible. The A's bullpen is supposed to be one of their key strengths, and a faltering closer could have a domino effect. Don't see that happening, though. Johnson is too good, and so are the all of the guys in the bullpen.
Oh yeah, Scott Kazmir in Game 1. The real deal. Take the good with the bad and let's see what happens with Seattle in town the next four days.

Here's our staff highlights for this week — all the titles, creators, programs, conferences, and library shenanigans that made our week, comics-wise!
The Toronto Comic Arts Festival (aka TCAF) is definitely my happy this week. So many great people to see! Ben Hatke! Noelle Stevenson! E. K. Weaver! Raina Telgemeier! Dave Roman! est em! Lynn Johnston! Kate Beaton! Ed Brubaker! Jeff Smith! Scott Chantler! Tony Cliff! Faith Erin Hicks! Jon Klassen! Kate Leth! Amei Zhao! The list just goes on and on and on! -Robin
Sailor Moon...by Arina Tanemura
My happy for the week is this Sailor Moon fan art, done by Arina Tanemura. Tanemura is the creator of Phantom Thief Jeanne, which is also a magical girl series. It's fun to see her take on the characters. -Jessikah
Complete Cul de Sac
My happy is that The Complete Cul de Sac collection by Richard Thompson is out! And my copy arrived yesterday. I was so sad to see the strip end, but so glad they made a complete collection of it. -Andrew
Superior Foes of Spider-Man
I just read Volume 1 of the Superior Foes of Spider-Man by Nick Spencer and it made me very happy. It's exactly as hilarious and weird as a series about the Sinister Six (Five) needs to be. -Renata
Wonder Woman & Awesome Comics Shops
This Dorkly comic that my boss sent me is my happy for this week.
Also, I went to my local comic shop (Parker, Banner, Kent, and Wayne, in Cornelius, NC) to pick up my pull list and not only were there two women working there and several women participating in the Friday night Magic games, but all the guys there are great. I walked out of there with two graphic novels and four floppy comics (all fairly mainstream titles: Saga, Pretty Deadly, Fables, Ms. Marvel, Rachel Rising) that had a total of 9 characters on the front cover -- and only two of them were men. And all of the women had on a full complement of clothes. So, despite how women can get treated at cons, comic shops, online, etc. and how female characters are too often depicted in comics, there are good, supportive places that welcome both genders and comic artists and writers who know how to create believable, well-rounded characters of both genders. That's a happy right there. -Snow
Michele Knotz
I went to a comic/anime convention at a nearby library on free comic book day and met Michele Knotz, voice of Jessie on Pokemon, among other notable shows. She was super nice! I hope to have her at my library's convention next year. -Marissa
One Punch Man
I finished book two of ONE and Yusuke Murata's One-Punch Man, a silly manga that spoofs shonen series by flat-out admitting that the main character can win all of his fights with one punch. The surrounding characters and stories are still interesting, though! The series is currently published digitally through Viz, but I hope it sells well enough to warrant print copies too. -Thomas
Alex + Ada
Image's "Alex + Ada" made me very happy this week. It's a beautiful ongoing story about a man and his synthetic girlfriend. The catch: robot sentience is illegal, so she's literally not allowed to think for herself. Works on so many levels! -Anna

When I had my first child in 2005, I was more than somewhat ambivalent about the whole "mothering" thing. Children weren't really part of my (admittedly vague) life plan. But then I met this amazing guy, who just happened to be a father-in-waiting, and wanting the whole package, I jumped in. And no one was more surprised than me when I found that motherhood suited me. To a T. I'm not a proponent in any way of the idea that a woman needs to have children to make her life feel complete or whole, but I was blown away to find in my case, they did.
With my kids, I felt a sense of purpose like never before. For the first time, the question of whether I was really doing something worthwhile with my time went away. I was so clearly doing what I was meant to do. And while now that my kids are out of the baby stage I do crave an outlet outside of them, I've maintained a sense of self that I never had before. And they gave it to me. At times, I feel that my kids made me, rather than the other way around.
I recently came across Comedian Sarah Maizes' mommalogue "Got MILF," here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VYJ8PL6OxxI, which I highly recommend, while adding the caveat that it is intended only for those comfortable with the occasional cuss word. If you haven't heard the term "MILF" before, it stands for "Mother I'd Like to…um…be Friends with". I love this clip, not just because Sarah is hilarious, but because she conveys the sense that a woman's children make her stronger, more confident, and yes, sexier.

First, the models headed to Lisa Rinna's new store, Belle Gray. She was looking for someone who's gorgeous but real, vivacious and fun to represent her store online and in print.
Next, they visited Nicholas Clements Lindsey, who was searching for a new runway model. At his store, the models showed off their runway walks. Nina and Jocelyn were told to relax and chill out, while Julie was told to tone down her energy. Marilin confessed, "Models are typically much smaller than I am, so I knew that my chances were slimmer."
Between go-sees, host Brooke Burke popped in to share some beauty tips, courtesy of SELF magazine, on how to freshen up your face in five minutes. "I always carry eye moisturizer with me," she said, suggesting that the women use it to clean and hydrate tired-looking eyes. She also showed them an eyelash curler, which creates rounder, fuller eyes. "It makes the eye pop." And blotting cloths are great for removing oil and preserving makeup. Burke said, "It takes all the oil off your skin and doesn't remove your makeup."
At their third store visit, the models donned Amy Michaelson's wedding dresses. Since the collection was very sensual, the model's sexiness was a top priority. Nina was warned again to work on that, and Marilin overheard Michaelson worry about her weight. But Rachelle was told, "You've got something really special" and Jocelyn has "a natural elegance."
The fourth potential job had a twist–it was a commercial for Three Muskateers! Burke reminded the contestants, "To guarantee a place in the finals, you need to book a job, so make this one count." The director spares no mercy, saying that Jocelyn "did as good as she was going to do," Marilin seemed "a little stripper-y" and Nina needed to "take that stick out of you-know-where." Brutal!
By the time they reached elimination, none of the models where sure where they stood. Julie was the first to book a job–Lisa Rinna considered her "the most real" of the five models. "Relatability is the A #1 attribute that a successful model has," judge Sean Paterson said after hearing that. NCL and Amy Michaelson both booked Marilin. "She really embodied sexiness, confidence and femininity," said Michaelson. Julie also won the job for Three Muskateers, leaving Nina, Jocelyn, Rachelle up for elimination.
Paterson had some harsh words for the contestants. "Nina, you need to be willing to find that inner sexiness. Jocelyn, you are blithely unaware of your poor performance in reading for that commercial. And Rachelle, I need to know you're going to be able to go and perform no matter what's going in your and that you're going to do a good job."
In the end, it was Nina's inability to tap into her sexuality–not for lack of trying–that got her sent home. "I'm going to miss the girls, because I really made a bond with all of them," she said on her way out. "I would not trade this experience for anything in the world, it was absolutely wonderful."
Do you think Nina deserved to get sent home? Who do you like most from the Final Four?
