Discovery Channel to Premiere New Three-Part Series SILVER RUSH, 2/24
This past summer, Discovery Channel cameras rolled as the world's best-known deep-sea recovery team, Odyssey Marine Exploration (OME), successfully recovered approximately 48 tons of silver bullion from the SS Gairsoppa - making it the deepest and heaviest cargo recovery in history.
SILVER RUSH, a new three-part series airing back-to-back on Sunday, Feb. 24 from 8-11 PM E/P, will tell the story of one of the greatest deep-sea treasure quests of all time. Narrated by Mike Rowe, the series will take viewers on board Odyssey's flagship, the Odyssey Explorer, as it launches its most audacious operation ever -- locate and excavate three shipwrecks worth as much as a billion dollars all in one season.
In 2007, Discovery Channel was there as OME hit the jackpot with the discovery of the "BLACK SWAN," a Colonial-era site with 17 tons of silver and gold worth hundreds of millions of dollars. However, after a five-year legal battle, Odyssey was forced to hand over the treasure to Spain, one of the nations that claimed the treasure. The ruling delivered a blow for OME founder/CEO Greg Stemm and the company's anxious investors. "You have to be willing to go through years of very difficult situations with your eye on the prize long term," Stemm said.
Undaunted by the "BLACK SWAN" outcome, the Odyssey team sets their sights on three new projects including:
· SS Mantola, an ocean liner sunk in 1917 in 8,000 feet of water off the Irish coast, with a silver cargo worth an estimated $20 million.
· HMS Victory, the flagship of the royal navy located in the English Channel, that was lost in 1744 and may have carried a billion dollar load of gold.
· SS Gairsoppa, a freighter that was torpedoed in 1941 off the coast of Ireland, purported to have silver bars potentially worth $200 million dollars. The catch? This shipwreck lies deeper than the Titanic at nearly three miles below the surface of the North Atlantic.
If the historical records are right, and Odyssey can find and recover the valuable cargoes in extreme conditions, the payoff could make the "BLACK SWAN" loss look like pocket change. But will they be able to complete the entire recovery effort in just 90 days before punishing storms roll in?

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 7/8/2014 (1049 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
After spending the last five years with the National Hockey League's Montreal Canadiens, Brandonite Ryan White has traded in the red, white and blue for orange and black.
The 26-year-old centre signed a one-year, two-way contract with the Philadelphia Flyers for the league minimum on Thursday, which put his mind at ease about finally making a decision about where to play this season. After playing in 52 regular-season games last season, White became an unrestricted free agent and was searching for another one-way deal. When he couldn't find one, he elected to join the Flyers.
"I got down to a couple two-way offers with a couple other teams and basically was getting to the point where I had to make the decision and thought the fit with Philly was the best way to go," he said. "It's obviously disappointing (to sign a two-way deal). It's nice to have that solidification and you know you'll be making that money for the season. It's just a lot easier on the mind.
"As a goal going into the summer I was trying to get a one-way and keep working my way up, but things didn't work out that way. The offers weren't coming in like I thought they would and I just had to pick what I could choose from. Philly was very persistent in trying to get me to go there and I'm very happy and excited to be going there and excited to play with the Philadelphia Flyers."
Fellow Brandon native Ron Hextall is the general manager of the Flyers, a team currently over the NHL's salary cap.
White's low salary may benefit him as he tries to crack Philadelphia's roster on its fourth line. He posted two goals and six points, and took 50 minutes in penalties last season and has five goals, 17 points and 232 penalty minutes in his 141 career NHL regular-season games.
However, he didn't play in any playoff games last season as the Habs reached the Eastern Conference finals, which has given him a little extra motivation for this season.
"Definitely not getting to play down the stretch last year was disappointing," he said. "At the same time it was a good learning experience, being able to get that far in the playoffs. It's always nice to be playing and I'll definitely have a little chip on my shoulder this summer. I'm just trying to work hard to get going again."
White is confident he'll be able to crack the Flyers' roster and won't be sent down to the AHL's Philadelphia Phantoms. He's just looking forward to joining the Flyers' training camp and getting a chance to prove his worth.
"I'm confident in myself and my abilities," he said. "I'm feeling excited and in good shape and healthy and ready to go to camp. I got an opportunity to try out somewhere and I'll just go and do my thing and hope for the best."

EU freezes tobacco law after lobbying scandal
The European Commission has frozen work on its new anti-tobacco law, despite warnings it is falling into a tobacco industry trap.
Spokeswoman Pia Ahrenkilde-Hansen said on Wednesday (17 October) that internal talks on the law - "inter-service consultations," the final step before decision-making - due to start next month will not take place.

She noted that: "Any proposal to revise the tobacco legislation will be made by the next commissioner in charge of the portfolio ... The review of this complex body of legislation will be taken forward when we have a new commissioner for health and consumer policy."
She declined to say whether work will begin from scratch or pick up where former health commissioner John Dalli broke off.
She added it could take until Christmas at least to replace him due to the ins-and-outs of the procedure, which includes a candidate hearing in the European Parliament.
Dalli lost his post on Tuesday in controversial circumstances.
The commission says he resigned after his boss, Jose Manuel Barroso, showed him a report from the EU's anti-fraud office, Olaf, saying he is guilty of improper conduct in a tobacco lobbying case.
Dalli says he was sacked and that the whole affair is designed to derail the law.
"I was asked for my resignation," he told New Europe, an online newspaper, in an interview also on Wednesday.
He said the bill - which was to propose putting pictures of smoking-related diseases on 75 percent of the surface of cigarette packs, among other measures - has been ready to go into inter-service talks since August. But commission civil service chief Catherine Day twice postponed the move already.
"Now it is probable to me there will be no such directive during this commission ... [which] is a big gain for the tobacco industry," he added.
For his part, Olaf head Giovanni Kessler, a former Italian prosecutor, told press in Brussels the same day he had examined and discounted the possibility that his service is being manipulated.
The story revolves around Swedish Match, a producer of mouth-tobacco, and a Maltese businessman who knows Dalli.
Kessler said lobbyists working for Swedish Match met with the businessman twice, at which point he requested a "big" sum of money to get Dalli to alter the bill and Swedish Match reported it to the commission.
He added that Dalli "was aware of someone close to him repeatedly asking for money to change the policy of the commission ... he was aware of it and he didn't do anything to stop it, to prevent it or to report it."
The Olaf chief called it a "classic" case of normal lobbying "polluted" by corruption.
But Swedish Match's role in the story might be more complicated than that.
Maltese media on Wednesday published an email showing that Estoc, a Brussels-based lobby group which represents the Swedish firm, itself requested the Maltese businessman to set up a meeting with Dalli in return for a fee.
It made the request in March this year, two months before Swedish Match complained to the commission that the Dalli middleman is trying to squeeze it for money.

By Simmons Buntin
On the thinly paved roads of rural Oklahoma, it's one finger raised from the top of the steering wheel. On the rolling oak hammocks of east central Texas, it's a pinch of the hat brim in unison with a nod. In the sultry backwoods of Mississippi and Alabama, it's raising four fingers from the gentle motion of the fanning hand.
And in the southeastern Arizona community of Civano and Sierra Morado, it's surprisingly absent. I'm talking about waving to neighbors to say hello. Many of the communities I've been to have their own, slightly unique way of waving hello. Yet I'm often surprised to find that a number of people in Civano and Sierra Morado don't wave.
A History of Waving?
A quick search on the Internet didn't turn up much regarding a history of waving to say hello — there's a hit Christian single titled "Just Wave Hello" from Charlotte Church that appears to be more about the Apocalypse than greeting your neighbors (though apparently it will be used in the upcoming Olympics); Mao Tse Tung in a permanent blue-handed wave, looking more out of necessity than neighborliness; and people in personal photos from all over the world waving hello, and they seem to really mean it. But nothing about the monumental "first wave," or perhaps, how waving started as a tradition on the savannahs of Africa to get another person's attention over the tall grass.
What's clear, though, is that waving is a universally accepted way of saying hello when the voice just won't do — and sometimes even when it will.
In fairness, I should say I don't see that much waving when I'm driving in the neighborhoods — between me and the pedestrian or other driver — or when I'm walking — between me and someone driving. But there are even times when I'm walking or riding my bike and my wave is not returned by another person walking, or running, or cycling.
Perhaps people don't wave so much when a vehicle is involved because of the speed of the car, or the inherent dichotomy between soft-fleshed pedestrian and steel-skinned automobile, or even the glint of the sun off the windshield.
The Case for Waving
Rather than exploring the causes for our apparent lack of waving, however, I'd like to make a case for increased waving: it makes Civano and Sierra Morado friendlier and safer places.
That waving to say hello makes our neighborhood a friendlier place is obvious. Greeting folks, whether verbally or through friendly hand gestures, provides positive reinforcement for our attachment to this place, and the other people who live here. Like the difference between a dog's playful bark and an aggressive growl, a simple hand wave is a welcome sign that we are, after all, welcome.
So how can waving actually make a place safer? Here's a scenario: I pull into the neighborhood in the middle of the day, when in my particular section of Civano most of the children are in school and parents are at work, or out running errands. I wave to an exiting neighbor as I pull in, the letter carrier as she loads mail into one of the streetside stations, and a construction worker who's traveling a bit too fast on Civano Boulevard. My wave says hello, but also signals him to slow down, which in fact he does.
Now the neighborhood's just a bit safer, right? Yes, but that's not all. As I pull onto Thunder Sky, I notice someone turning into a carriage lane who I haven't seen before. Our eyes meet and I wave. He stops, looking a bit confounded, and waves back, but quickly turns away.
A criminal? Probably not, but it's documented that robbers and other criminals are less likely to victimize a neighborhood where they can be identified. By being waved to, a criminal has been acknowledged. In being acknowledged, that person could be identified — or there's a risk of that in the criminal's mind, which makes this neighborhood a less attractive target.
Simply waving to folks — which I admit makes me feel better, to boot — creates a sense of friendliness and safety that is just another step in making Civano and Sierra Morado a more cohesive and outstanding community. I look forward to waving hello to you soon!

Manhattan Takes Series Opener Against Rider
RIVERDALE, N.Y. – Entering the weekend, the two-time defending Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference (MAAC) Champion Manhattan baseball team knew it would have its hands full with a depleted pitching staff and hosting the top team in the league in Rider. They would turn to their star pitcher, John Soldinger (Bay Shore, N.Y./Bay Shore), in the series opener and he would not disappoint. Soldinger tossed a complete game, handing the Broncs a 3-1 defeat at Van Cortlandt Park on Saturday.
Jumping ahead early, Rider (18-13, 5-2 MAAC) got back-to-back singles from Mike Parsons and Eric Strano to begin the top of the first. Parsons would later score on an RBI fielder's choice off the bat of Adam Wayman with two outs. That would be the only run given up by Soldinger as he worked his around trouble in the late innings.
The Broncs lead did not last long as the Jaspers (15-15, 6-4 MAAC) got some clutch hitting in the home half of the second. A leadoff walk from Joe McClennan (Highland Mills, N.Y./Cornwall) would be followed by a sacrifice bunt from Brendan Slattery (Danbury, Conn./Brookfield) to put a runner in scoring position with one out. After Joe Rock (Carmel, N.Y./Kennedy Catholic) flied out to second, shortstop Yoandry Galan (Miami, Fla./Florida Christian) worked a walk to put runners at the corners.
Senior Nick Camastro (Lagrangeville, N.Y./Arlington) then ripped a hard double down the left field line, scoring McClennan to tie the ball game. From there, the Jaspers would struggle to get any more runs as Rider pitcher Tyler Smith stranded seven runners over the course of his outing.
Meanwhile, the Broncs struggled to get anything off of Soldinger who allowed only two hits between the second and sixth innings. After setting down the side in order in the sixth, his offense provided him with the lead necessary for a win. McClennan would once again start it off, hitting a pop up that fell harmlessly behind the pitchers mound for a leadoff single. He would then advance to second on past ball before later scoring on Galan's two out, RBI single to centerfield.
Nursing a 2-1 lead in the seventh, Soldinger took matters into his own hands, playing a role in every out of the frame. After Wayman doubled to leadoff the inning, Nick Crescenzo dropped a bunt down the first baseline but Soldinger quickly hopped off the mound and fired to third to get the lead runner. Justin Thomas then singled up the middle, putting runners on the corners and one out. When Greg Fazio hit a hard grounder up the middle, Soldinger dove to his left and from the ground threw out Crescenzo at the plate. He would then strike out Ian Lindsay to end the inning and preserve the lead.
Manhattan rewarded their righty with an insurance run in the seventh as Slattery drove in Ramon Ortega (Miami, Fla./Christopher Columbus) with a two out double down the right field line off relief pitcher Sean Kuberiet. Slattery finished 2-2 on the day with an RBI and a hit by pitch. He was one of three Jaspers to record a multi-hit effort at the plate along with Camastro and Kyle Murphy (Waterbury, Conn./Holy Cross).
Soldinger (2-2) set down the side in order in the eighth before striking out the final two batters of the game in the ninth after a one out walk. He scattered six hits on the day, striking out five and walking just one for his first ever win over the Broncs. Smith (5-3) took the loss giving up all three runs on eight hits, walking four and striking out one in three and two thirds innings.
Manhattan and Rider will conclude their weekend series with a double header on Sun., April 14 at Van Cortlandt Park. Game one will be a seven inning contest starting at noon while the second game will be a full nine inning contest begin shortly after the conclusion of game one.

Ne-Yo Sued For Defamation By Ex-Girlfriend
A woman who once claimed that Ne-Yo was the father of her child has sued the singer for defamation after she claims he trashed her during a television interview.
Jesseca White says that during an interview with Ne-Yo for an episode of "Behind the Music", the singer described her as "an unchaste woman who deliberately tricked him into believing he was the father of her child … so that she could fraudulently bilk him of 'ungodly amounts of money.'"
Jesseca and Ne-Yo were once an item, and when she gave birth to a baby in 2005, she listed him as the father on the birth certificate. A subsequent paternity test later revealed that he was not the father.
Jesseca allegedly told Ne-Yo that she wasn't sure who the father was, but he told VH1 that she tried to perpetrate a fraud. As a result, she says she has been the subject of harassment and name-calling, including "pathetic" and "gold-digging b***h", and also claims that the accusations have destroyed her career as a photographer and a graphic designer.
Jesseca is seeking unspecified damages, according to TMZ.

My sister, Sissy, is being a dummy. She keeps trying to go outside, when she KNOWS she'll just get scared around! And really I'm worried about her... Who knows WHAT she'll get into next time? She could get hit, or mauled by a dog, and I'm scared for her. :( That's why I never go outside, I'm worried. Our bro, Boy, pretends he's not scared but he is really a big fluffball inside and he IS scared. ;)
Anyway, just wanted to tell you that because I'm sure she'll have posted her own version of this in her diary. I'm sure that now we have this online diary thing, she'll have diary posts up every day about how annoying I am :(
I love my family!!

Message from the Alumni Director
"I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ liveth in me: and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by the faith in the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself for me." Galatians 2:20
Dr. Luis Palau (Grad Cert '61), our 75th anniversary commencement speaker, encouraged this year's graduates, faculty, and staff alike, as he considered his Multnomah experience and shared how God had used his time at Multnomah to prepare him for the ministry of evangelism he is involved in today.
"I came away from Multnomah with a sense of authority and power through prayer," Palau said. "I came away with a renewed commitment to evangelism and a vision for world missions that was inspiring."
Dr. Palau recalled for us the many moments of sitting in Rev. George Kehoe's Spiritual Life class. Kehoe would open each class with: "I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ liveth in me: and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by the faith in the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself for me."
"Monday, Wednesday, and Friday, he would repeat Galatians 2:20 again and again, Palau said, and by the end of the semester I realized he was making a point and the point was this: As we go to serve Jesus Christ and all throughout our lives, it is the power of Christ living within us that makes all the difference."
Referencing Exodus 3 Palau exclaimed: "It took Moses 40 years to think he was somebody, it took the second 40 years for him to think he was a nobody, and it took the last 40 years for Moses to realize that God was everything "in" him and "through" him." "I don't need a pretty bush, an eloquent bush, or a well educated bush…any old bush will do, as long as God is in the bush," Palau said.
Doing vs. Being
No doubt this is a difficult concept to grasp and for many of us, it can take the process of a lifetime. "Doing" is so closely tied to activity, accomplishments and tangible things—while "being" is a bit more challenging in that it has to do with the intangibles of life, much of which can't be measured by objective measurements and impressive degrees.
Because we live in a future-oriented culture that relates time largely to efficiency and productivity, we often define ourselves by what we "do" rather than "who" we are. It's easy to get caught up in the doing, isn't it? We strive towards lofty goals and admirable ambitions and before we know it we find ourselves overwhelmed and distracted by the busyness of "doing" life and ministry and forgetting our need for daily dependence on God. I believe the most important aspect of our spiritual life is to understand this need for a deep abiding dependence upon our Savior…Staying desperately dependent and constantly connected to Him. God is far more interested in what He is doing "in" us and "through" us than anything we could ever do for Him.
Ongoing Dependence
I loved what one of our fifty year alumni society members shared in reflecting on our 50 year reunion:
"…The faculty, the speakers and the classes all helped set an environment that influenced my ministry to this day. Our reunion brought back memories of my time at Multnomah and its value in my life…a freshness of reminders of people and their impact...the desire to influence others as I have been influenced and the anticipation of being who I should be until I go home. As I looked around the room, I realized God is still using us in many ways, but He is also preparing us for going home. Our being able to 'do' is lessening and our being able to 'be' is increasing. I smile and marvel at what God is doing 'in' us."
I believe more than ever before God's desire for our lives is that we would know and understand this deep abiding dependence on Him. Whether you are just graduating from Multnomah or celebrating fifty years, may we always remember, it is not about what we do for Christ that matters but what He is doing in us and who we are be-coming!
In closing our time together Dr. Palau shared that God had spoken to him:
"Luis, if I live my life in you and through you, you will never be frustrated, defeated, or live in futility or barrenness of spiritual life. Beware the barrenness of a busy life, he said, and beware the busyness of a barren life."
My prayer for us today is that when we find ourselves frustrated, barren, or fruitless that we would remember this wonderful truth: "It is not I that live, but Christ living within me". Whatever career path you may choose, whatever job the Lord might call you to do, whatever task He has set before you, never forget that it is Christ living within you!
Christ in me,

Britain does not take part in the Olympic soccer competition because here is no such thing as the British FA. England, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland -- the four nations -- all have their own national teams, but Lord Coe -- Sebastian Coe to all you track & field fans -- would like Sir Alex Ferguson to lead a British XI at the 2012 London Games.
"I would love to have him
involved because he is a phenomenal coach, a great man-manager and who you would want to have that mentoring role with under-23 players from across the country for the buildup to a game," said Coe,
the vice-chairman of the London organizing committee "We've had a few conversations but I do stress that it is for the FA and BOA [British Olympic Association] to make that judgment."

The Jimmy Dore Show april 6,2012
This Week:
Steve Rosenfield reminds us all that it is Easter, and asks us to remember that we aren't all equal and our god is real and others gods are made up.
(Homo)Robo calls were unleashed in Wisconson to urge people to vote against "homosexuality" aka Mitt Romney, and for "Straight Marriage" and a "Straight Military" aka Rick "I'm always thinking about gay guys penis's" Santorum. We play the call and it does amuse us.
Larry Platt is the executive director of "Gun Owners of AMerica", so right off the bat you know this guy is "down-to-earth" and sensible. He has my favorite take on the Trayvon Martin case, are you ready for this? He says that Trayvon Martin was at fault because, and I swear I am not making this up, is was his responsibility to run away. Its just those kinds of mental gymnastics that keeps America winning the "death by guns" gold medal every year.
Bill Oreilley is angry about the Trayvon Martin case. No, he's not upset that a 17 year old black kid was gunned down for no reason. And no, he's not upset that, to this day, the killer has not been arrested or charged with a crime . What Bill is upset about is that the media is keeping the spotlight on this case! Yes, its funny that Bill never had time to be upset at any of the actually upsetting things about this case, but is outraged that others in the media keep reminding us that this horrible situation is still horrible.
Plus we play some tape from the Bill Orielly show where Geraldo Rivera was pointing out how Bill was exploiting a personal tragedy to make a cheap poitical point, you know, doing the exact thing Bill is pretending to hate about the Trayvon case. Bravo.
Martin Luther King's niece was a guest on FoxNews recently. And why wouldn't she go on fox? I mean, who else is going to
lend credibility to a bunch of race baiters besides the niece of a civil rights leader who was gunned down by a white racist? It is nice to see here take some time off from her usual crusade, turning women who are seeking abortions into criminals, to stop by foxnews and call Trayvon a "late abortion". Again, not kidding.

Jerry Sandusky can not seem to stop speaking into microphones about just how much he likes hanging out with kids. An unorthodox strategy to fight molestation charges to say the least. But it turns out after decades of committing child rape, Jerry Sanduysky is the real victim here and that lands him in this weeks Oh My God segment.
Yes the liberals who own the media wont put conservatives on TV. Don't believe me? Just as him, or Kelsey Grammer, Drew Carey, or Patricia Heaton.
The Catholic Church is upset about Obamacare mandating they provide contraception coverage to their employees. Chris Mathews brings on a "Catholic Scholar" who explains that the Catholic Church are also victims. It seems to be a theme this week or something, but yes even one of largest and most powerful institutions in the world is also a victim and they are tired of being "beaten up"! I swear I am not making any of this up.
Gay Marriage has now passed he New Jersey Legislature and Chris Christie calls in to explain why he is against it. Bill Orielley also has his bush in a knot about the Catholic Church and contraception and he calls in to scream a little.

Bill Oreilley explains why he doesn't get divorced.
Even though his wife moved out and bought her own house and has started dating a Nassau county policeman, Bill Oreilley still wont get a divorce.
Why? Because he is catholic, and Catholics don't get divorced, they get annulments. What's an annulment? Thats when your wife is such a huge whore that even Jesus agrees with you.

CAIRO – A video of a woman being sexually assaulted at inaugural celebrations for Egypt's new president has thrown another spotlight on a national epidemic, but activists believe that stopping such attacks will be difficult.
Graphic footage, apparently filmed on Sunday using a mobile phone, shows a mob of men surrounding the young woman, who was stripped of her clothes and badly bruised in the assault in Cairo's iconic Tahrir Square.
The video, shared widely on websites including YouTube, Facebook and Twitter, triggered outrage in Egypt and abroad.
"Execute them!" said Tuesday's front-page headline in the pro-government Al-Watan newspaper.
"Sexual assaults and rapes by mobs are now part of reality. How far will things go? This is sexual terrorism," said Zeinab Sabet, a prominent activist with "Dignity Without Borders," a group battling sexual violence.
"This has been happening since 2012 . . . The fact that it happened again (on Sunday) shows that the authorities aren't even bothered about us," she said.
Activists say at least nine cases of sexual assault were reported last week as revelers celebrated el-Sissi's victory at the polls.
One woman was burned by hot water after being stripped in Tahrir Square by three men who later also assaulted her daughter, the prosecutor's office said, adding the men had been detained.
Officials on Monday said police have also arrested seven men suspected of sexually assaulting women during el-Sissi celebrations.
Egypt, which until this month had no specific law on sexual harassment, last week approved penalties for such offenses to include jail terms, fines or both.
But these amendments "were not enough . . . the state was incapable of addressing such crimes in the absence of a comprehensive strategy," said a group of 25 Egyptian rights organizations.
On Tuesday, the president's office said el-Sissi had told Interior Minister Mohamed Ibrahim to "implement the law firmly" to prevent sexual harassment.
A 2013 U.N. study said more than 99 percent of Egyptian women had been subject to some form of sexual abuse.
Women in the Arab world's most populous country said they were harassed regardless of whether they wore conservative Islamic attire or Western-style clothing.
Since the revolution that toppled longtime President Hosni Mubarak in 2011, the problem has worsened, with women now regularly attacked during rallies by groups of men in and around Tahrir Square, the epicenter of protests.
Between November 2012 and June 2013, around 250 cases were reported during protests in Cairo of sexual assault or harassment by mobs, or rapes involving weapons, activists say.
Human Rights Watch said in a report released on Tuesday that Egyptian women face "endemic levels" of sexual violence.
It said that "the authorities have taken little action to stop or investigate violence against women, or to bring those responsible to justice."
Activists doubt that the regime under el-Sissi — who repeatedly reached out to women voters during his election campaign — could prevent such attacks, which are part of a long-standing systemic problem.
"During his campaign, el-Sissi's comments regarding women's issues were farcical and vague," said Fathi Farid from "I Saw Harassment," a group fighting sexual violence.
Activists believe that for el-Sissi, who has signaled his intention of restoring stability rather than pursuing democratic freedoms, the problem of sexual violence is not a priority.
"I personally don't think that women's rights or dealing with mob sexual assaults on women and rape are part of his plans," Sabet, the activist, said.

Looking for some help on disengaging the drivers side mirror. The mirror itself is fine but when I open or close the car door the mirror housing rotates. A mechanic told me it is a problem with the motor inside the housing unit and that I may be looking at 400-600, parts and labor.
Just want to be able to set the mirror in place and not have it rotate wildly everytime I open and close the car door.
Any suggestions are greatly appreciated
You are going to have to get whatever is loose or broken repaired. I dont think that duct tape would look good.
Before you go chasing down a $$$$ rabbit hole, step back.
Do you have both keys that came with the car?
Here's the reason I ask. Each key actually has two sets of settings. For the first 18 months of ownership of my E93 it would have this phantom mirror and seat behavior, but only after I used the metal key in the door lock to actuate the top. The straw that broke the camel's back in my frustration and desire to get to the bottom of the erratic behavior was the morning I put my tote bag which had my lunch salad in a glass bowl in it behind the drivers seat, and the seat decided to move back to a full back position which imploded my salad and bowl. I was just thankful that it didn't get to the iPad that was in the same bag.
Worse still, was the incident where the seat automatically went into full back mode with 6"1" SO sitting in the back seat. He thought I was trying to break his legs!!
Just opening the door would activate erratic seat behavior.
Bottom line I had to set all my settings for my key fob back to factory default then start over, reprogramming. The dealership had the car for two days before they figured out it was a confusion between the settings and deprogrammed everything.
Since I've reset and reprogrammed, I have no more phantom movement of seats or mirrors.
Good Luck

Anyways, now that you know why I immediately ran to Sinead with this question, here's what she had to say.
Yes, keeping a "faux glow" while using lightening ingredients / products can be a bit tricky for sure as they tend to exfoliate the skin and tan off a lot faster than usual!
I usually advise my readers to self-tan their face more often than they would their body. I also recommend that they use a self-tanner that is specifically design for the skin on their face vs. their body especially if they are going to be reapplying it more often. (Beautisol offers two formulas - one for Normal-Dry-Sensitive Skin and one for Normal-Oily-Acne prone skin) It is just the nature of the beast but I do it all the time. I self-tan my body every 4 / 5 days but tan my face every other night and put it on last so I still have color a day or two later!
I hope that helps!

As you all know by now, Chicago has been home for some years and I consider it home. The traffic can drive me crazy and I've gained about 10 pounds eating way too much pizza, but it has such a special place in my heart and I love trying out unique experiences here!
One special way to see the city of Chicago through a new lens is on a Mercury Skyline Cruise right down the Chicago River to Lake Michigan. I went on this scenic boat tour and enjoyed it SO MUCH I wanted to share with you!
The detail I loved most about the Mercury Skyline Cruise was the amazing guide that shared his knowledge about the city, the skyline's history, and really cool tidbits of information about the architecture, famous Chicago characters, and significant events from the city's past that made it what it is today. You truly appreciate Chicago so much more after hearing about the amazing trials and tribulations that the people have gone through the past 200 years, all while enjoying breathtaking views of the skyline.
There's a cash bar aboard, and if you take the 6:15 pm cruise like I did, you'll get a great show of the magnificent sunset, especially throughout the summer season! I seriously forgot I was in Chicago for a minute.
Hurry and reserve your tickets today, these cruises only go through October 10th, and what a neat way to wave goodbye to summer this weekend with friends & loved ones!

When it comes to my favorite pieces of gym equipment, row machines are right up there at the top. I absolutely love to row in the gym, and if your gym happens to have a row machine or two, I'm going to show you how to take advantage of it to burn calories and get a whole body workout in a short amount of time.
Rowing is an incredible aerobic exercise. The major benefit of rowing, however, is that it burns calories AND builds muscle at the same time. It is also low impact in nature, so if you have knee or joint issues, you can still use a row machine effectively with a low risk of injury.
Try these variations for 2 minutes each, and if you really want to add to your full body workout, do 20 Burpees in between!
I love blogging about unique activities to try out, and how could I call myself a true Chicago chick if I didn't work to try every amazing pizza place in the city?! Trying out new pizza places is tough for a few reasons. a) Although ironic, pizza can actually be pretty pricey in the city. Especially deep dish, which will run you on average 30 bucks. That's a lot to "dish" out when there's over 2200 pizza places in the Chicago area (yup, that's true, I learned it on my tour!) b) Pizza can take 45 minutes to an hour to bake, so if you decide to try out a new place, it's a pretty big time commitment. That's where Chicago Pizza Tours comes into play.
Chicago Pizza Tours offers various tours de pizza all over Chicago as a cool daytime or nighttime 3-hour tour via pizzabus! So in the time span you would normally visit one pizza shop, you get to try 4-5 different slices, all while gaining some Chicago and pizza trivia from your knowledgable tour guide.
The tour costs $60, but again, offers a great value for the amount of pizza you get, coupled with a unique experience. You can even do a pizza and cocktails tour for $80, which sounds completely awesome. Who doesn't love a beer with their slice?
The stops the tour makes differ depending on the time and day. During our tour, we visited: Pizano's, Coalfire, Pequod's, and Flo & Santos. Every piece was so uniquely delicious, I can't pick a favorite. But I will say, Coalfire's thin-crust high-temp cooked pizza was baked to absolute perfection. I can't wait to go back!

Although I'd like to think I eat healthy 90% of the time, there's always room for dessert, and Chicago is a fantastic city to help you satisfy your sweet tooth! This summer, I've chowed down on some of the most unique and delicious post-meal sweets and now I'm here to share them with you. If you're visiting the city or live here long-term, save up your cheat calories and try out these tasty Chicago treats!
5) Amorino Flower Gelato
Chicago recently acquired two new Amorino gelato stores and their signature flower cone makes you feel so elegant… before you devour it in two bites because this stuff melts crazy fast! You can add an adorable and tasty macaron in the middle to class it up even more.

2) Firecakes Ice Cream Donut Sandwich (and vanilla glazed)
Ok, Firecakes Donuts gets two pictures because I couldn't decide which I enjoyed more! The ice cream donut sandwich is literally a donut cut in half stuffed with vanilla ice cream and topped with fudge. Why haven't we thought of this sooner?? The second place at Firecakes goes to their vanilla glazed donut. Oh my goodness is this thing delicious. Not too sweet, but perfect enough to wake you up in the morning! Firecakes Donuts

1) Hugo's Frog Bar Chocolate Mousse Pie
My favorite unique Chicago dessert I tried this summer was the chocolate mousse pie at Hugo's Frog Bar in the Gold Coast. GOODNESS was this thing worth the double workout the next day, or what?! The piece was as big as my head, and it was so unbelievably delectable and chocolate-y.. I could have eaten the whole thin if I wasn't there with some fabulous friend, I'm just sayin'.

What unique desserts have you tried in the Windy City??
My sister Angelina is getting married in just a few short weeks, and it was my honor to help throw her a fabulous bridal shower to celebrate. (Check out her chic Chicago bachelorette party details here!) She's getting married in Québec, and has loved all things French since she was a little girl, so a Parisian-themed wedding shower was a no brainer. I worked diligently with my mom and the to put together a beautiful French-inspired brunch party for 45 of Angelina's closest friends and family.We celebrated the shower at Market Beer in Rocky River, Ohio. Jill, the party planning manager, was absolutely fantastic to work with. Every request I had, she found a way to make it happen, and the rustic yet chic outdoor/indoor option was perfect for a summer party!
In order to stay with the Parisian theme, we decorated the space with elegant Martha Stewart tissue paper flowers, pink and white tablecloths, polka dot balloons, and feminine tulle bows for an extra pretty touch. The Chanel flower vases I made were so pretty in the sun! Grab my DIY instructions here!I also found a few Eiffel Towers and my talented aunt painted beautiful French scenes on 4×6 cardstock, which I placed in double-sided IKEA frames. I also created an easy crepe paper curtain with kite string – it looked so beautiful and swayed in the breeze! My mom had a CD filled with instrumental French café music, so we played that over the loud speaker and it really set a great tone for the afternoon.
I knew I wanted a unique shower – not just your typical "come, eat, and watch the bride open presents". So I designed some 'stations' around the perimeter of the space for guests to take part in during their time with us! One area featured French lessons with Esther, a lovely tutor I found on Wyzant. She taught guests a few common French phrases, and also shared memories from her experiences in Paris.
Another table was meant for writing down your favorite date night idea for the newlyweds on popsicle sticks, as well as writing 'flowers of love' on cut outs and attaching them to a beautiful shadow box frame my mom and dad made with props from Michael's!
I purchased this pre-made PDF from Etsy filled with French-themed photobooth props, then printed them at Staples and glued skewers on the back. What a fun easy way to spice up people's photos! And of course, there were tables set up for made-t0-order omelettes, pastries, and eggs benedict.My favorite station at the shower was the DIY Flower Crown workshop. I ordered $100 worth of baby's breath, daisies, and carnations (I could have probably ordered half, FYI) from Costco, and provided flower wire, cutters, tape, and ribbon. Guests measured out how much wire they needed, then wrapped the flowers around as they like, to create beautiful crowns to wear during the party! The idea was a hit, and all the women in our lives walking around wearing gorgeous flower crowns really added to the French feel. 🙂 Look for a separate blog post next week!
Read about my experience at Flowers for Dreams' flower crown workshop!
Near the end of the party, we made an announcement that if you wanted the bride to open your gift, head over to her sitting area and she would happily open it. If you did not care either way, you could continue to enjoy the party or head out. I was amazed by the amount of people who didn't feel the need to see her open her gift! I think it speaks volumes to our patterns of bridal showers. If you're looking for a more contemporary option, and to simply enjoy opening your gifts in the comfort of your home without feeling rushed, this is definitely an option. That way, guests who want to be there when you open it have the option to, and those who don't can feel a little more free to stay or go.
What a beautiful day it turned out to be!
I can't believe summer is coming to an end, but it was a beautiful few months filled with beautiful summery dresses! For my last farewell of these hot Chicago months and transition to fall, I'm sharing two pieces I received from the fabulous online clothing boutique, VIPme (be on the lookout for another post next week!).
This vintage printed short sleeve midi dress is too cute for words. It comes with a matching belt that provides a beautiful hourglass shape, perfect for that vintage look I was going for.
Although it has two layers for volume, this A-line dress is 100% cotton, so it breathes wonderfully even on a hot day. I can see myself wearing this to a day party, the park, or a bridal shower, and accessorize with a hat or cute clutch. VIPme has tons of adorable and unique dresses just like this; I love having pieces that I know not many other people own!If you like this adorable vintage dress, you can find it and hundreds more over at VIPme.com. Their website is really user-friendly, and they offer almost every style you can think of at an affordable price. They also offer free shipping promotions, so enter your email for special offers! Don't forget to use promo code SIJessica99 for $5 off your first order of $50! Here are a few more vintage pieces that I'm looking forward to snagging in my next order.. 🙂
SISTER TIP: You can download the VIPme IOS app to bring even more brands into your pocket!
How are you styling your transition to fall??
I'm always up for trying new things, especially in my city of Chicago, and especially when it's warm outside! Kayak Chicago let me try out their architectural kayaking tour down the Chicago River, and it was such a cool and unique experience for tourists and local Chicagoans alike.
We had a group of 8 and we met off North Avenue for easy access to the Chicago River. Our South African guide, Bruno, was fantastic! He had really interesting bits of information to share about Chicago history and architecture, and took some time to show us the best method for kayaking (and, more importantly, how to quickly get out of the way of boats). You could tell he was very passionate about the city of Chicago, which made us all excited to learn more about where we call home.
I've tried kayaking before, but only in short spurts. I gotta say, the 3-hour kayak roundtrip was pretty intense! Get a good night's rest and eat a solid breakfast for this outdoorsy trip and you'll be good to go. I recommend wearing loose athletic gear and bring plenty of water. A bathing suit isn't necessary but make sure to bring a Ziploc bag to store your phone in case water splashes in from the paddle. I wore sandals and took them off for the trip and that worked perfectly.
I have a newfound appreciation for the Chicago River, as well as the incredible history that went into creating The Second City, aptly named after a famous rebuild following the great Chicago fire.
Overall, Kayak Chicago, which offers day tours as well as sunset firework tours, was a fantastic experience and I would recommend it to anyone looking to do something unique and athletic in the city. The cost is around $70, but always check the website for specials. Hurry, you only have about a little more time to take advantage of this beautiful weather!

I collaborated with Flowers For Dreams when I first started Pepperminting, and I have been using their floral design and bouquet services ever since. It's an amazing organization that provides beautiful, local flower arrangements with a charitable twist: every bouquet benefits a local charity. So unique and so great for the Chicago community![wpdevart_youtube]Fm2GLiMFqRQ[/wpdevart_youtube]
Flowers For Dreams also holds events and workshops, and this past weekend, I was lucky enough to be invited to their Flower Crown Making Workshop to learn how to create a unique flower head piece for Lollapalooza weekend! Festivals are the perfect opportunity to wear a fresh flower crown, so make sure you reach out to Flowers For Dreams next time you need to look boho chic. I brought along my friend Sarah from Balanced Babe and we got to work!
Flowers For Dreams was named a top Instagram account to follow and it's easy to see why! Follow them on Instagram HERE!
In order to make a flower crown, you'll need: wire, twine, filler greens, and of course, fresh flowers. A crown lasts for about 24 hours with care, so if you want it to last longer, you can purchase silk flowers for about the same price.
The key to creating a flower crown is to keep the fillers and flowers going in the same direction around the crown. Start with some greens like eucalyptus, baby's breath, or other fillers, and cover your wire. Wrap the twine around the stems, and overlap as much as possible so there are no empty spaces.
Then, snip the flowers about an inch or two below the bud and continue wrapping around the crown. The best part about making a flower crown is that no two will look exactly alike. You can take out flowers or add more depending on how you like your piece to look! I must have reshaped and changed my crown a dozen times before I was satisfied.
I added a piece of ribbon to the back to make it a little more fairy-like and feminine, and then spritz with some water and keep in the refrigerator until you're ready to wear! We all had SO much fun at the event, Flowers For Dreams is definitely one of the best companies I've had the pleasure of working with in Chicago. And my flower crown looked fantastic, even the next day!

The Most Beautiful Place in Illinois: Baha'i House of Worship (and less than an hour away from Chicago!)
I'm always up for a fantastic day trip, especially during the summer season when I'm off work. Scrolling through Facebook, I found an article that listed the most beautiful sights in each of the 50 states. Illinois' most beautiful place was named the Baha'i House of Worship in Wilmette; about an hour outside the city down Lakeshore, and a mere 15 minutes from Evanston. So, I hopped in my car and went on an adventure!I am so glad I took the time to visit this architectural dream. The Baha'i faith, as I learned from the very informative Welcome Center, was founded in 19th century Persia, and believes in unifying the human race and society.This is the only temple of its kind in North America, and the beauty of the building and the grounds is absolutely breathtaking. It is a quiet, serene place to gather your thoughts, attend a service, or simply marvel at the detail needed to create the house of worship. You can go inside, but they ask not to take pictures.
At night, the temple is lit up beautifully, but during the day, the gardens were gorgeous and the windows let in the summer light. This temple is definitely worth the short drive from Chicago or the suburbs! I haven't seen all of Illinois, but I can't argue that this sight was one of the most beautiful I've seen while living here.Baha'i House of Worship

Summer is in full swing, and I love sharing my sunshine-filled OOTDs on my Instagram page! (follow me here!) Once in a while, I'll wake up, workout, shower, and put something on that just makes me smile all day, and this is one of those outfits!
This summery pineapple romper is too cute for words. It has a back-tie detail and is loose and airy on these 95-degree Chicago days. Pineapples are all the rage lately, and anything I can get my hands on with this adorable lil crown-wearing fruit brings me joy!Unfortunately, the style I'm wearing is sold out, but you can get on the list at Lulu's for a white version, which is just as cute, maybe even cuter!
What are you favorite summer looks?? Share them below!

It will keep you warm as t...more
1 Recommendation
Forthebettys's recommendation
His drink is cold, his cigarette is waiting to be lit and boy oh boy is he hot! Just look at this suit!! This great vintage three piece suit is in perfect condition! It has been cared for, hung and left alone. It is just begging to be brought out for a night on the town. It will keep you warm as the fabric is nice and thick. With no holes, rips or tears there is no way the chilly fall air is getting through this bad boy, that is what 100% Polyester does ;) Can you believe there are still store tags on it?! In saying that the season is coming upon us to celebrate the gouhl or ghost and if you decide to pass on those there will also be the bells and tinsle next. Since there are plenty of reds and greens in here it is sure to be complete for any upcoming holiday occasion. So common ladies.. wouldn't you want this standing at your door?

Wearing latex gloves, use a craft brush to apply a thick layer of etching cream over your stencil, being sure to cover all of the exposed mirror. Brush first with up-and-down strokes, then go side to side to ensure even coverage. Allow the etching cream to remain on the mirror for at least 10 minutes. Take the mirror to the sink, and wash under running water. Peel off the remaining adhesive paper, and clean the mirror using window cleaner. You're done!
Elevate a plain $15 mirror to become a decorative, etched stunner with a craft knife and etching cream.

Coachella Valley July 4 fireworks shows
PALM SPRINGS, Calif. - Fireworks shows celebrating America's 236th birthday will begin Tuesday night in Riverside County, ahead of a series of parades and pyrotechnic events planned countywide on Wednesday.
Fireworks will follow the Palm Springs Power baseball game Wednesday at Palm Springs Stadium.
Power will play the Casa Grande Cotton Kings at 6:05 p.m., and the "All American Fourth of July" fireworks show, simulcast by KDES radio, will begin
at 9:15 p.m. Free admission for the fireworks starts at 8 p.m.
For information, call (760) 323-8272 or go to www.palmspringspowerbaseball.com.
Beginning at 9 p.m. Wednesday, fireworks shows will be held at the
following locations:
-- Beaumont, Stewart Park, Ninth Street and Orange Avenue;
-- Corona, Santana Park, 598 Santana Way;
-- La Quinta, Community Park, 77-865 Avenida Montezuma;
-- La Quinta Resort, Avenida Fernando and Eisenhower Drive;
-- Lake Elsinore, off the levee, Lakeshore Drive;
-- Moreno Valley, Morrison Park, Dracaea Avenue and Morrison Street;

Fantasy Springs Resort Casino will host a free fireworks show on Thursday.
The show is open to the public and will be accompanied by music simulcast on 106.9 FM The Eagle. People can watch the show from the area around the golf course's pro shop and parking lot, casino spokeswoman Anndee Laskoe said.
In Riverside County, residents are prohibited from using fireworks except in Blythe, Cathedral City, Coachella, Desert Hot Springs and Indio, where so-called "safe and sane" fireworks can be sold to the public.
The devices, which must meet state fire marshal certification, are mostly pyrotechnics that do not explode or fly, including sparklers, ground spinners, fountains, snappers and caps. Municipalities can authorize fireworks demonstrations, and the county grants permits for fireworks shows in the
unincorporated areas.
Under county Ordinance 858, fines for illegally storing, transporting or setting off fireworks can range from $500 to $1,000. A violation is a misdemeanor. After a first offense, a repeat violator can be sentenced up to one year in jail.
According to county fire officials, any person who triggers a brush fire because of the illegal use of fireworks will be held responsible for all
firefighting costs.
San Bernardino National Forest rangers reminded visitors and campers that any type of firework is prohibited in federal preserves.

Good to see some new drops from one of my favourite Australian menswear brands. M.J. Bale adopts a campaign theme that 'A well-dressed gentleman can get away with anything', M.J. Bale's Spring Summer 2012 collection reinterprets the grand, martini-swilling style and dash of the Rat Pack era for the modern Australian man. (WWW)
M.J. Bale's new campaign features impeccably-cut suits and tailored casualwear for gentlemen who know when to work and how to party. "Our key pieces for the Spring Summer season take a really strong influence from the days of the Rat Pack, Sinatra, Deano and the original Ocean's Eleven," says M.J. Bale owner-designer, Matt Jensen. "These guys had a real sense of timeless, classic style, but most importantly, fun. They really knew how to own it and have a great time. Similarly, we wanted the M.J. Bale man to get dressed up and have fun for spring, and not just in sharp, elegant suits, but also in grown-up, tailored separates."

Unlimited Factory Steps fit a regular TJ?
Hey WF -
Local guy has a set of factory side steps from a 2006 Unlimited with all nutserts for $50. I called the local Jeep dealer and he listed the same part number for both the standard TJ and Unlimited for the steps, but wasn't positive.
Anyone know if they are a direct fit for a 1997 TJ? $50 sound fair?
50 bucks sounds like a rip off. If I had a stock set I'd give them to you. Regardless of what they came off of. If it is the same part number I'd venture a guess that they are the same part.
Yes - they are for sure the same part.

Green Eggs and Ham recipe
The seven-year-old and I are making Green Eggs and Ham for breakfast on Saturday. Here is the recipe we are following – it's not exact because that's how I operate in the kitchen. I don't believe in exact quantities because I never have the exact quantities required.
A pile of fresh spinach
1 clove of crushed garlic (optional)
3 or 4 beaten eggs
Salt & pepper
A few slices of bacon
Wash the spinach (although it's fine to just check there are no rogue slugs present), fry with a little oil, drain away most of the water after it has boiled down (and be amazed once more at how spinach just disappears like magic), add the garlic, salt and pepper and then puree it.
Scramble the eggs, then add the spinach puree and mix it up without mercy until the eggs are greener than green, green grass of home.
Cook the bacon and place the green eggs next to the bacon in an attractive pile on the plate. Place the plate in front of seven-year-old.
Of course, you could just use food colouring but have you seen what goes into food colouring?

Festival-goers discover bands, appreciate downtown New London
New London — At its core, the I AM Festival — the 14-hour long, free indie music and arts goodtime-alooza held Saturday in downtown — is about discovery.
It's about an open-minded music fan finding out about a band they've never heard before. It's about a band from elsewhere making fresh fans in a new place.
And it's about legions of young people and newcomers discovering what New London can be when it's at its very best, doing what no place around here can do better — rock out.
With headliners such as the anticipated proto-punk Death, the indie-rocking Cymbals Eat Guitars and Connecticut music legend Mark Mulcahy, the festival had its most muscular line-up in recent years.
Although it began to drizzle late in the festival, last year's apocalyptic wind and rain were replaced this time by kind sunshine and pitch-perfect temperatures, and the seventh edition of I AM Festival had its attendees and organizers in high spirits.
"We've had glorious weather and the crowds have been steady," co-organizer Rich Martin said. "I'm quite pleased, indeed."
This is the second year organizers staged I AM Festival in the heart of downtown New London after five years at Waterfront Park, which many felt cut off the show from the rest of the city.
Co-organizer Sean Murray said the former venue felt "detached and sparse."
Alluding to the crowds traversing between the two main stages — on Parade Plaza and at the Hygienic Art Park — Murray said, "This is how it should be."
In addition to the main stages, the 25 bands on the bill also played at the Telegraph record shop, at 33 Golden Street and at New London's indie home base, the Oasis.
"This is much better (than on the water)," said the New London-based DJ Chumzilla — Adam Mathiason when the headphones are off. "It gives you a chance to take a break instead of being at the same site all day."
In addition to the music, I AM featured an array of vendors selling everything from art to jewelry, to paintings, to vintage T-shirts.
Adam Lodynsky and Jaimee Dormer of Coast to Coast Mobile Vintage pulled up in their store, a converted 1976 Serro Scotty trailer filled with '80s and '90s duds.
"We're both from Connecticut, so to come here is great," Lodynsky said.
Artist Danielle Duncan of Hartford, who was selling her psychedelic dreamcatchers and paintings on a closed-off lower State Street, said she had sold a few things and was enjoying listening to some of the punk-edged acts that played in the afternoon.
"I hadn't heard of any of these bands, but I like learning about more local music," she said.
Also this year, I AM had another go at one of New London's hardest locks to pick — how to lure the college students downtown.
This year, Mitchell College's radio station had a booth, as did WCNI, Connecticut College's venerable alternative music institution.
But what seemed to work best was the quirky pop sextet Camp, a band comprised of Conn students and graduates, which enjoys a loyal following on campus.
Camp singer-guitarist Liz DeLise, who graduated last month, said the I AM Festival attracted a following during her years at the school.
"It has the coolest music," she said. "I think more students are going to keep coming into the city."
But Bo Clay, a Conn junior keen on seeing Death perform, said many students on campus didn't know about the festival, perhaps to their detriment.
"I think this is a great thing that helps bring people together," Clay said.
In addition to local bands such as Fatal Film, Slander and Straight to VHS, the festival welcomed other groups from around the state, including the Hartford-based Violent Mae, which played a well-received afternoon set of Velvet Underground-inspired country-ish tunes at the Telegraph.
Singer-guitarist Becky Kessler said her band had never played New London before but were taken with the place.
"This is really awesome," Kessler said. "I wish I lived closer to this city."

Millard Drexler, 57, said in an interview on Tuesday night that the decision to go was his alone. 'I've been thinking about it for a long time. My passion is to grow things that are small until they are bigger.'
When Drexler joined Gap in 1983, it was a relatively unknown chain. But despite annual sales of £9.4bn, it has struggled to make headway in the last two years and the shares have lost two thirds of their value since hitting a high of £37 in February 2001.

text: Statehouse beat: CPPs are popular among legislators By Phil Kabler September 1, 2013 Story Share CHARLESTON, W.Va. -- A Logan County reader called to say the local paper had recently carried separate photos of giant check presentations with different groups of local legislators, but both to the Buffalo Creek Watershed Association.I told him that sounded like Community Participation Partnership Grants. CPPs became the preferred way for legislators to fund home-district projects following the demise of the infamous Budget Digest in 2006.As the reader described, its not unusual for delegates in multi-member districts to obtain multiple small grants for the same project, or to work with senators to turn several small grants into a nice little funding source.(Unlike the Budget Digest, the CPPs come with a little hitch: the governor's office has to sign off on them.)From last Sept. 1 to this Aug. 1, 637 CPP grants have been approved, totaling $3,425,754 -- or an average of $5,378 per grant.Denominations range from $1,000 (multiple times) to $50,000 (for Beckley Little League field improvements, requested by Sen. Mike Green, D-Raleigh. Delegates Moye, O'Neal, Snuffer, Mahan and Sumner got an additional $9,000 for facility and upgrades for Beckley to host the state Little League tournament.)Grants to Little Leagues, or for improvements to parks or athletic fields were popular, accounting for 67 appropriations.Larger grants in that category included $15,000 for improvements at Glendale Park in Elkins (Sen. Barnes), a total of $15,000 for Vinson Little League field improvements (Sens. Jenkins and Plymale), a total of $18,500 for upgrades and improvements to Kenova Dreamland Park (Sens. Jenkins, Plymale, Delegate Perdue), $33,500 for Martinsburg football field and concession stand improvements (Sen. Snyder), $10,000 for Nitro Little League improvements (Delegates Lane, Walters), $40,000 for Pleasants County pool repairs (Sens. Boley and Nohe), and a total of $15,000 for installing lights at Terra Alta Youth League fields (Sen. Sypolt, Delegate Shaver).(By the way, I did note a $5,000 grant for the Buffalo Creek Watershed, requested by Delegate Rupert Phillips Jr., D-Logan ...) ***Still haven't had any luck reaching Agnes Jane Greer Corp. president Lauren Kelley Driscoll of Stamford, Conn., regarding her plans for AJG's pending acquisition of WCLG AM-FM in Morgantown.Interestingly, considering how quickly West Virginia Radio Corp. executives jumped on the Daily Mail to demand clarifications for allegedly misinterpreting the value of the company's bid for West Virginia University's third tier rights, I have yet to receive a single phone call, email or letter disputing anything I've written concerning the assertion that AJG is a front company for West Virginia Radio to allow it to evade FCC limits on the number of radio stations WVRC may legally own in the Morgantown-Clarksburg market.(Assuming AJG is a front, WVRC already is over the limit, with one AM and six FMs, even without the WCLG acquisition.)I believe the FCC's deadline to file a petition to deny or to submit informal objections regarding the transfer of ownership comes up on Wednesday. *** Update on Susan Perry and Jennifer Taylor's whistleblower suit against the Department of Health and Human Resources: The governor's office has retained Bryan Cokeley of Steptoe and Johnson as counsel regarding dispositions of former deputy chief of staff Erica Mani.***One new state office building done, one about to begin: The long-delayed $15.9 million state office building in Logan opened last month, while work has just gotten underway on the new state office building in Fairmont.That contract was awarded to P.J. Dick Corp. for $17.2 million.Meanwhile, Capitol Complex Building 3, commonly known as the DMV building, is approaching its third anniversary of sitting vacant.However, there is some work going on, primarily asbestos abatement and general interior demolition, in anticipation of finalizing a less ambitious design plan. In 2011, bids for the renovation -- which then called for conference rooms with floor-to-ceiling "telepresence" video-conference screens, restoration of the lobby to its original circa-1951 appearance, and a reception hall with adjacent kitchen -- all came in over budget.The revised renovation project has an estimated cost of $30.6 million, or about $3 million less than the low bid in 2011.***Finally, congratulations to the playoff-bound West Virginia Power for a terrific season, and to Robert "Wheeler Bob" Friedman for marking 40 years as the super salesman at Charleston ballgames.(Unfortunately, Bob has toned down his routine over the years. He no longer encourages fans to come back for Handguns and Hard Liquor night, or touts the legendary Boone County fortune cookie -- a Tudor biscuit with a food stamp inside ...)Also, a tip of the cap to Brent Szarka and the Power grounds crew for keeping the field at Appalachian Power Park looking good, despite being in use for nearly 70 Power games, 13 West Virginia University games, nine state high school championship games, a total of about 25 small college games, MMA events, and myriad other turf-wearing events.Reach Phil Kabler at email@example.com or 304-348-1220.
