Venezuela Won't Open Miami Voting Center for Elections
Venezuela's National Electoral Council decided not to open a voting center in Miami for presidential elections Oct. 7, forcing voters registered in the U.S. Southeast to travel about 670 miles (1,072 kilometers) to New Orleans.
The CNE, as the council is known, said in a statement that the decision came after the Miami consulate was closed this year. President Hugo Chavez ordered the closing of the consulate in January, after the U.S. expelled the Venezuelan consul on espionage charges. The Miami area has the largest community of Venezuelans outside the South American country.
"A majority in the CNE decided to not open the voting center in Miami. It's another blow to the citizens who are treated poorly by their government," Vicente Diaz, who is the only director on the five-person electoral board affiliated with the opposition, said on his Twitter account. "To make Miami voters travel to New Orleans is an attempt at undermining the morale of a political group of the country."
Chavez, 57, will look to extend his 13-year rule with another six-year term in the October elections. The socialist leader, who is battling an undisclosed type of cancer, will face former governor of Miranda state Henrique Capriles Radonski, who has pledged to gradually remove currency controls, fight crime and attract foreign investment by ending Chavez's nationalization policies.
Opinion Poll
Chavez has widened his lead over Capriles to 17 percentage points, according to a survey by Caracas-based Datanalisis. Chavez had 43 percent of voter preferences, compared with 26 percent for Capriles, according to the poll taken between April 9 and 18. The poll of 1,300 people had a margin of error of 2.73 percentage points.
Capriles will lead a march of followers to register officially with the CNE tomorrow and the government is organizing a rally in Caracas on June 11, when Chavez will register his candidacy.
There are 23,000 Venezuelans living in Florida, Georgia, South Carolina and North Carolina who are registered to vote in Miami, Caracas-based newspaper El Nacional reported today.
"People will go to vote regardless," Capriles, 39, said today on his Twitter account. "We've already told this government that looks to place obstacles in the way of the electorate, that even in Miraflores they'll vote for Capriles," he said in reference to the presidential palace.

AUGUSTA, Ga. - Brandon Thomas collected his first three hits as a member of the Charleston RiverDogs and came up just a home run shy of hitting for the cycle, but an early offensive outburst by the Augusta GreenJackets was enough in a 6-3 win Saturday night at Lake Olmstead Stadium in South Atlantic League baseball.
Charleston (1-2) will have a chance to even the season-opening four-game set in Sunday's series finale, which is scheduled to start at 2 p.m.
Back-to-back hits put the RiverDogs ahead in the top of the second inning. With one out, Thomas tripled and Luis Torrens followed with a single that plated Thomas and gave the RiverDogs a 1-0 edge.
Augusta (2-1) replied with a rally in its half of the second to take a 4-1 lead against Charleston's Giovanny Gallegos. A bases-loaded single from Tyler Horan tied the game by scoring Ryan Tuntland. The GreenJackets scored the go-ahead run on a force out that brought in Ryder Jones. A two-run triple from Randy Ortiz added to the lead before Gallegos got into a rhythm.
Gallegos induced a groundout that closed the second inning, and he faced the minimum in his last three innings. Gallegos struck out the side in the bottom of the fourth and finished his outing with seven strikeouts in five frames.
Although the RiverDogs threatened to trim Augusta's advantage in the fourth and the seventh, Charleston came up short each time. The RiverDogs had the bases loaded before an inning-ending double play finished the fourth. In the seventh, Charleston put the first two batters aboard and was unable to push a run across.
The GreenJackets scored two runs in the bottom of the seventh to build a 6-1 advantage. Cristian Paulino hit into a force out that moved Horan in. Paulino then stole second base and promptly scored on a single off the bat of Oritz.
After following his triple with a single and a double, Thomas needed a home run when he batted in the eighth inning to complete the cycle. However, a groundout to first base ended Thomas' night at the plate.
The RiverDogs started a two-out rally in the ninth inning on an Abiatal Avelino double, cutting the deficit to 6-2. Avelino scored with a single and an error to put the potential tying run at the plate, but a game-ending groundout saddled Charleston with a three-run loss.
Keury Mella won his GreenJackets debut and has a 1-0 record. Gallegos, despite a strong finish to his performance, was tagged with the loss for the RiverDogs and fell to 0-1 this season.
Coming up
The finale of this four-game series features Charleston RHP Brady Lail (0-0, 0.00 ERA) and Augusta LHP Carlos Diaz (0-0, 0.00 ERA). First pitch is set for 2 p.m. Sunday. Up next, Charleston will return to The Joe for a seven-game homestand that starts on Monday.

I am a published knitwear and crochet designer, specializing in children's clothing. I love coming up with designs that are new and different, and I find inspiration in everything and everyone around me … my family, children, imagination, yarn, textures, nature …
In the past several years, I've created and sold hundreds of custom-made (mostly one of a kind) items online. However, one day I realized that I have too much on my plate and couldn't keep up with all orders anymore. I thought if I started writing patterns, I could make something just once and let other knitters and crocheters make the garments by themselves, and even sell finished projects made from my patterns. I really feel that it was the right direction to take, and I've been so blessed by this experience. Somebody else making something out of what I've created—that's what makes me happiest!
I hope that you will enjoy working with my patterns as much as I have enjoyed designing and writing them for you. Please visit MyLittleCityGirl.com to learn more about me and my designs, and locate stores where my patterns are sold.

Tutti Frutti Blanket

Terry Jacks: "Seasons in the Sun"
Written on November 21, 2015 By admin in Uncategorized
Terry Jacks: "Seasons in the Sun"
Terry Jacks was born and raised in Winnipeg. His family relocated to Vancouver in the early 1960s. Jacks at 18 formed group and took up guitar in his teens. The group had four top-ten hits in Vancouver between 1966 and 1964. Following Susan Pesklevits, Terry and The Chessmen (Susan Jacks), whom he afterwards married, formed The Poppy Family along with Satwant Singh and Craig McCaw. The tune was composed and produced by Terry Jacks which earned him a Gold Leaf (Juno) award for his creation in 1970.
"Seasons in the Sun"
It earned two Juno Awards to Jacks and became one of the largest selling Canadian Singles ever. The tune was based on Rod McKuen's 1965 rewrite of "Le moribond", initially by Belgian singer Jacques Brel from 1962. For his variation, Jacks made some changes to the lyrics, which along with McKuen's, resulted in a work that bears little similarity to substance Brel's first in tone or poetry. In America, in Germany and in Great Britain, it was released on Bell Records, as well as the tune still went to #1 on the graphs. In Canada it was released on his own label, Goldfish Records.
Jacks composed and recorded several other tunes and went on to make many artists including The Beach Boys using a variation of "Seasons in the Sun" just before his own, but that was never released. Jacks also created the singles "Crazy Talk" and "there is Something I Like About That" for Chilliwack from their record Riding High. He also spent lots of time with Buddy Knox in the 1970s and made a single for him with two tunes: "Me and You" (composed by Jacks) and the George Jones tune "White Lightnin."
A limited edition white vinyl 45 sold and was made to help Tsunami sufferers in Japan. Jacks' friend's new record release, "Starfish on the shore" is a double CD of 40 of his favourite tracks, from the last 40 years, and attributes some of his biggest hits of the 70s and 80s. The bundle includes a 32 page booklet with Terry's memories of his musical journey and never before seen photographs. It's now accessible from www.regeneratorrecords.com and in select stores throughout Canada.
In closing one cant wonder if having "Put the Bone In" on the front cover didn't seal his fate. I mean come on, even in the 1970's, this album cover screamed of sexual innuendo as loud as the speakers would dare go. Terry Jacks, truly a "One Hit Wonder!"
