Former state Sen. Brian Kemp will ask voters to return him to the Gold Dome, he said Monday.
Kemp, a Republican, represented the 46th Senate district from 2002 until 2006, when he left to run unsuccessfully for state agriculture commissioner.
This time, he will run in the 47th district now represented by Ralph Hudgens, who is resigning to run for the 10th Congressional seat formerly held by the late Charlie Norwood. The heavily Republican 47th district includes Barrow, Madison, Oglethorpe and parts of Clarke, Elbert and Jackson counties.
Kemp's home straddles the Clarke-Madison county line, putting him in the new 47th when the state legislature redrew district lines last year. State Sen. Bill Cowsert, R-Athens, Kemp's brother-in-law, represents Kemp's old district.
Kemp, who was endorsed Monday by all 34 state senators and Lt. Gov. Casey Cagle, once was regarded as a rising star in state government. He said he wants to get back into politics after a failed bid at the statewide office, and said his experience will appeal to voters.
"I'll be able to go in right away and be influential and get things done for the district," he said.
Two Democrats, former Athens-Clarke County commissioner Tom Chasteen and Mac Rawson, Hudgens' opponent in 2006, also are thinking of running for the seat.
Gov. Sonny Perdue must call a special election within 10 days of Hudgens' resignation. The election will be held within 30 to 60 days from the date it is called. It could coincide with the congressional election, but not necessarily.

Old heatsink tip
If you are trying to re-use an old heatsink that is already covered in thermal gak, don't scrub for ever using isopropyl alcohol. One second of eucalyptus oil does the work of ten hours of isopropyl. Stuff is magic.
Do I want to know how you figured that out (poor heatsink) ? ;D

Woods conceded earlier in May that he was no closer to a return to the PGA Tour circuit, as he was yet to hit full-swing golf shots – only chipping and putting in practice.
The American, 38, is a three-time US Open winner.
"Unfortunately, I won't be there because I'm not yet physically able to play competitive golf," Woods said in a statement published on his website.
"I'd like to convey my regrets to the USGA leadership, the volunteers and the fans that I won't be at Pinehurst.
"The US Open is very important to me, and I know it's going to be a great week.
"Despite missing the first two majors, and several other important tournaments, I remain very optimistic about this year and my future."
Woods lost his number one ranking to Adam Scott last Monday, and has slipped to third in the standings after Swede Henrik Stenson passed him this week.
He has not been seen in competition since the WGC-Cadillac Championship on March 9.

Flyers face long delays at Dublin Airport as e-gates clock out at 5pm
Passengers arriving at Dublin Airport's passport control outside of business hours face long queues because the civil servants who run the new "self-service" border screening programme only work on weekdays from 9am to 5pm.
The automated border control gates or "e-gates" were introduced with much fanfare at Terminal One in May 2013 by former Justice Minister Alan Shatter in order to expedite the passport screening of Irish, EU, EEA and Swiss passport holders and eventually transfer duties from gardai to civilians.
Instead of having to queue in order to present their passports to immigration officials or members of the Garda National Immigration Bureau (GNIB), European nationals can now electronically scan their passport as part of a pilot project to introduce "self-service" border control technology.
Several European airports, including London's Heathrow, use similar machines.
But the system has drawn the ire of passengers and airlines in Dublin because the civil servants working for the Irish Naturalisation and Immigration Service (INIS), which oversees the new system, do not work early mornings, nights or weekends despite millions of passengers passing through the terminal outside of so-called "business hours".
There have been no exceptions even at the height of holiday season.
Dublin Airport Authority spokeswoman Siobhan O'Donnell said the DAA has had a flurry of complaints from passengers who are frustrated about the lengthy queues at passport control because the e-gates are closed.
"The only complaint we get is they're only open from 9-5pm," she told the Irish Independent.
Ryanair, which has the largest number of passengers using the passport control areas where the e-gates are used, called the situation "ridiculous".
Airline spokesman Robin Kiely said many of the 25,000 Ryanair passengers arriving and departing Dublin Airport each day arrive on early-morning, evening and weekend flights when the e-gates are closed.
"It's unfair that customers are being delayed at passport control by what is effectively red tape. These delays paint a particularly negative picture for tourists, given it's the first thing they experience upon arrival into Ireland," he said.
Having to queue in order to be processed by GNIB staff is forcing some passengers to wait half an hour or longer, which "is just annoying, especially at this time of year when it's high season", he said.
A spokesman for the Department of Justice, which runs the INIS, said the department "has made a case to the Department for Public Expenditure and Reform for additional staff to operate the gates around the clock".
But for the foreseeable future, INIS staff are only being rostered to work 9am to 5pm, Monday to Friday, he said.
"The trial operates during the hours of civilian officer operations, which is during business hours, 9am-5pm," he said.
The spokesperson added that it is hoped operating hours "will be extended significantly" in the future.

SANTA CRUZ -- The Santa Cruz County grand jury has made public the responses to its 2011-2012 report, which scrutinized local governmental agencies and officials.
Subjects of the individual investigations within the report were required to respond. This year's final report, released in June, looked at the county's jails, programs for English language learners and fiscal transparency in Watsonville, among other topics.
The city of Watsonville bore the brunt of the report's criticisms, most of which city leaders disagreed with. The report suggested the city might have violated federal rules when it spent $225,000 in grant funds to buy a used ladder truck for the fire department.
The City Council voted 4-2 in September on a response that disagreed, arguing that a federal official had monitored expenditures and found no evidence of noncompliance with procurement requirements.
City officials also disagreed with the grand jury's finding that city staff responses to requests for information from the City Council or the public were too often incomplete, inaccurate or not provided in a timely manner.
In their response, City Council members wrote that the grand jury "has inaccurately portrayed a few incidents and based on this anecdotal information, has jumped to sweeping and incorrect conclusions." Council members also complained that the way the grand jury investigation was implemented was uncoordinated and disorganized.
Building department officials in the cities of Capitola, Scotts Valley, Santa Cruz and Watsonville also took issue with criticism that they weren't consistently communicating with Environmental Health Services to identify known soil contamination sites during the building permit application process. Capitola city officials said the finding was inaccurate, as did the response from the city of Santa Cruz.
"The city of Santa Cruz regularly works with EHS on remediation plans and appropriate building permit issuance when known sites are identified. Additionally, projects which require EHS approval such as restaurants, are routinely routed to EHS prior to issuance of a building permit," city officials wrote. The full text of responses to the report may be viewed online at http://www.co.santa-cruz.ca.us/grandjury/GJ2012_final/index_responses.html.

Fic: "Fellowship Of Heroes" PG (8/?) [Logan/Rogue, Legolas/Ororo, Scott]
Expand Messages
- Hi all,
This continues "Fellowship Of Heroes"; my LOTR/X-men crossover.
Earlier parts can be read here:
Part 8:
They had been taken before the Elven Queen and her husband and she had spoken with them in their mind; warning them of unseen danger and urged them to be true to each other and their mission. Aragorn was raised among and by Elves and held great respect for them. It was in the strength of men, especially himself, he had doubts. The warning the Queen had whispered worried Aragorn. Was it the newcomers who were the threat? He didnt trust any of them fully but the white haired, unusual coloured woman they called Ororo was so like the Elven people he admired that it was hard not to like her. The other woman, Rogue, reminded him a little of his own love, Arwen. No, the women didnt worry him. It was the two men who were the key problem. Scott was a leader but reasonable. Logan on the other hand seemed to take great pleasure in being rude, annoying and very dangerous. Aragorn trusted him the least.
"You should rest. We are safe here. No evil can enter the Golden Wood. Youll need all your strength when we move on tomorrow," Aragorn said to Boromir and sat down beside him.
"I will find no rest here," Boromir said softly, his voice shaky. He had heard her, the Queen, inside his mind. She had told him there was hope still but he couldnt see it. His city would fall and his people fail. He couldnt let that happen. They all trusted him, believed in him.
"Why not?"
"The Queen spoke of hope yet I see none. I fear my city shall fall to ruins, its glory forgotten," Boromir voiced his fears, forgetting he was speaking to the man who claimed to have right of leadership over Gondor instead of himself.
"Surely not. As long as we stay true to each other we still have a chance," Aragorn said softly, following Boromirs gaze out over the darkening wood. Even in the darkness the Golden Wood still seemed to sparkle with goodness, peace and beauty beyond words. It was so elfish and reminded Aragorn of his childhood in Rivendell that he had at once felt at home here.
"Have you ever been to the White City? Seen its beauty;, its glory? The white spears glowing in the evening sun?" There was real love and passion in his voice as Boromir spoke of his home.
"Ive seen it," Aragorn said softly. He didnt have Boromirs strong feelings for Gondor and because of that, a part of him wondered if the other man, because of his passion and love for his country, would not be a better ruler than himself. Aragorn had never held any wish to rule and that was why he had never claimed the throne though the war seemed to have forced him into a decision.
"One day, our paths will lead us there and the tower guard shall take up the call: The Lords of Gondor have returned," Boromir told him, a smile and a dreamy look coming over his face.
They sat in comfortable silence for a while, feeling more connected than ever before.
"Lord Elrond raised you?" Boromir suddenly asked and Aragorn nodded, taken back by his question though happy for the chance to explain.
"Yes. Hes my father in every way but blood."
"As Legolas is your brother?" Boromir asked insightfully. Aragorn nodded.
"He cares deeply for you," Boromir said, remembering Legolas repeated defense of the young King. "For the thousands of years old Elven Prince of Mirkwood to think so highly of you .you must be a great warrior ..and friend," Boromir finally said and Aragorn nodded, accepting the words in the manner they were given; respect and with a new understanding.
"Why did the Steward allow his oldest son to take this dangerous journey?" Aragorn asked him.
"Ive been haunted by dreams of Gondor and my own destruction and I sought answers. And then I had recently lost my love and I needed to get away from the memories," Boromir admitted, his voice clouded with grief.
"Im sorry. I didnt know," Aragorn said sympathetically. No wonder he was so closed off.
"She was killed when Saurons forces attacked our lands," Boromir explained, pain and grief written on his face and in his voice. Aragorn was painfully reminded of Boromirs speech at Lord Elronds council about how the blood of his people kept the other lands safe. The death of his love was probably the reason for the strong grief and deep of emotions Aragorn had heard in his voice when he had spoken those words. Aragorn loved Arwen with all his being and always had. He couldnt imagine what kind of agony it would be to be forced to live without the one you love.
"We will avenge her," Aragorn vowed and Boromir smiled though he fought tears.
"Thank you," he said ever so softly and Aragorn smiled back.
"Welcome," he answered, feeling they had created a strong bond here tonight that nothing could break.
Scott felt very alone in the beautiful and peaceful forest. Logan and Rogue had gone to their tent, Ororo and Legolas were talking together and he was telling her of his teachings and way of life. The Hobbits were sleeping, eating or playing like small children while Gimli had gone to his tent for privacy. Aragorn and Boromir sat off together and seemed in deep conversation.
They had been in Queen Galadriels realm for several hours now and Scott had loved it here since he had first seen the land. It was beautiful beyond words; rich with sculptures, statures and carvings in woodwork everything was so bright, light and elegant so fitting the Elves.
Scott had been unsure of what to expect of the Queen but when he had seen her all his doubts had been laid to rest, if only for a moment. She was stunning like an angel; kind, soft, gentle and compassionate yet strong and powerful she was magical. She almost seemed to glow. She hadnt spoken in words, but like a telepath, within their minds. She had warned him of coming danger, showed images in his mind of the pure horror and evil that was Sauron, and she had told him to believe in a dream; told him to stay true because that was the only way they could win. Logan, Ororo and Rogue had heard the same as him and while the two women thought she spoke true, Logan had his doubts. He hadnt liked what he had been unable to smell anything on her; he called her a ghost and didnt trust her but, since the people Logan trusted could be counted on one hand, Scott didnt let his warning control his own decision though he paid attention to it; Logans instincts were often right. Scott had seen into her eyes and found great power and wisdom there. He was sure she believed in what she had told them but his logical side still had doubts if all this magic was really happening.
He had noticed that Aragorn had made a special greeting to the Queen; taking his folded right hand to his lips, kissing it, taking it to his bow and then putting his hand by his side. Legolas had made a similar greeting to the Queen that Ororo had been able to copy to the letter. What had amazed him had not been the nod of acknowledgement the Queen had given Aragorn and Legolas but the small hand gesture of a greeting and nod of her head that she had given Ororo. The Queen had amazed him further by addressing Ororo by the name given her when she had been worshipped as a Goddess; beautiful Windrider and she had said this name in Ororos native Swahili. She had said that Ororo was the bridge that would connect and unite the two parties within the Fellowship and that new hope would be found within her. Scott still wondered about the deeper meaning of those words but it was clear to him that the Queen was as powerful as she was beautiful and he knew the Fellowship was lucky to have her with them, as she would pose a formidable adversary.
He sighed as the night drew long and he was still without answers. He would have to rest now; they had a long way to travel tomorrow and if their future trip proved to be just half as dangerous as the one they had already traveled then they all needed all of their strength. He went to his tent and got ready to rest. Out of habit he searched for Jean only to remember she wasnt with him. He missed her warmth and her smile. He missed holding her close at night but more than anything he missed her words of encouragement and her advice. He was more or less traveling on faith alone here and he had no one to voice his concerns to. The others looked to him and trusted his judgment; Logans defense of him as a leader after they had lost Gandalf bore evidence to the great faith his friends had in him. He prayed he wasnt betraying that trust in his faith in Aragorns abilities to led them but he saw no other way. He couldnt lead them. Aragorn wouldnt allow it and he knew Legolas would stand with his friend. Gimli would take the Kings side as well and so would the Hobbits though he might be able to get Boromir on his side and through him Merry and Pippin as well but that was all. If he had insisted on leading them he would only succeed in breaking the Fellowship and the Queens words had strengthened him in the belief that they needed the safety of numbers. Besides he didnt know this land, he wouldnt know where to go. He didnt know how to get back home, Rivendell was under attack itself so that just left traveling to Mt. Doom like they were doing now and for that trip Aragorn was a better choice as leader just like Ororo had seen.
He turned in bed, trying to find rest, but thoughts of Jean kept him up. He missed her terribly and more so with each passing day. He didnt know why she hadnt come along or for that matter why not all the X-Men had. They all had great powers and would have been a great help on their journey. Especially why Jean was left out troubled him. She had been in a strange car accident a month before he had been transported here. A meteor had hit her car and she had been taken to the hospital. To everyones surprise she had escaped with only a light concussion, but the accident seemed to have enhanced her powers tremendously. Her powers seemed to grow with each passing day and when she had found she could fly with the help of her strengthened telekinesis she had taken the name of Phoenix. Scott worried about her though she claimed she was fine. As a man of logic, he wanted and needed to know the cause of her boost in power as they grew to be seemingly limitless. Was there no limit to them? Such a thought was unheard of; everything had its limits and its price and it was the price he was afraid of because such great powers had to be paid with an equally great price.
Why would someone so powerful be left behind? That thought kept haunting him. She would be a great ally to the Fellowship. A dark thought crossed his mind. Such power as great as hers would make a great ally or a great foe. No, he shook his head in denial. Jean would never harm anyone at least not the Jean he knew. No, such thoughts brought him nowhere. Facts were that she wasnt here and so she was no help or threat to the Fellowship in any way.
Thinking of Jean also made him think of who or what had brought them here. After having seen the Queen today and seeing how powerful she was, he thought that maybe she had brought them, though she hadnt said anything. It would explain her knowledge of them but then, since she had spoken in their minds, Scott figured she was a telepath and as such she could have read everything in their minds without any beforehand knowledge. Another candidate to bringing them here was the Lord Elrond but he had seemed genuinely surprised to see them so Scott doubted it unless the Lord of Rivendell was a very good actor and he had a feeling that Elves didnt lie. Then there was Gandalf but he had seemed as surprised as Lord Elrond but, unlike the Elven Lord, Gandalf was human and therefore quite capable of deceit and lies. He was a possibility though with his death that option didnt please Scott, as that would mean it would be impossible for them to travel home. Thinking of going back also made him consider just where they were in the first place. Lord Elrond had called it Middle-Earth and Logan had thought they were on another planet, but Scott wasnt sure of that. There were too many similarities for this to be another planet; no, he was sure Middle-Earth was what he simply called Earth. However, it was obvious this wasnt the Earth he knew. He considered two options; either they had time traveled so they were either in the past or the future, and since there were no modern facilities and the race of Elves and others didnt exist in his time, then the past was the best guess though way, way back in the past. The other option was a parallel universe where Earth had evolved differently. The letter seemed almost too surreal, even for him, but he knew that time travel was possible; for starters his own son, Nathan, had the ability to travel in time and had returned to his father when he had been over forty about a year ago while Scott was only 27. Yes, he was pretty sure they had time traveled here but since none of them had the ability they sure hadnt done it on their own. If one of the Elves, or Gandalf hadn't done it then maybe someone he knew had. Nathan wouldnt have separated him from Jean nor time traveled him without telling them first however, the Mother Askani, who had looked after Nathan in the future, had time traveled Jean and him before without telling them or explaining their mission. She was the only other option he could think of besides the Elves and Gandalf, but again she always time traveled him with Jean and she had never time traveled Ororo, Rogue or Logan before. Scott lay awake trying to think of clues to solve the mystery but had to give up. He knew too little of this new place and the true strength and powers that rested within the Elves and Gandalf because something in him warned him of discarding the old man totally. Scott knew somehow that he was far more than he seemed though he wasnt sure what.
Sleep began to claim him and heavy thoughts gave way to the simple longing he bore for Jean. He didnt know if he would ever see her again and that pained him the most. His thoughts on Jean, he looked to the stars that were visible through the strong Elven tent material. Suddenly he swore he saw a Phoenix shape in the stars and it blinked down to him like diamonds, but when he looked again it was gone. Must have been my imagination. It is dark and with my red shades it is hard to see shadows clearly. The shapes must have played tricks on me, Scott decided, but still wondered. As the night drew away everyone went to bed and Scott dreamt of Jean, a bird made of fire and a Phoenix. No one noticed the Elven Queen walk through the camp nor that Frodo was awoken by it and followed her.
Authors notes:
Once again, LOTR fans please stay calm. Yes, I know Boromir doesnt have a love life in the books/films but too many of these characters were alone. I also know that Gandalf isnt human but it was Scotts thoughts and as far as he knew Gandalf IS human. Call it authors privilege and try and accept it its not like Tolkien put the X-Men in his books anyway so that alone should have warned you that I wouldnt follow the books/films to the letter.
Also, this IS a crossover between the X-Men movie, I know that but I needed to borrow from the comics to make this crossover believable. For those who havent read the comics heres some help:
Ororo was worshipped as a Goddess in Africa before she joined the X-Men
Scott and Jean have a son; Nathan. He was taken to the future by the Mother Askani as a baby and raised there because he had a deadly virus that could only be cured in the future. While in the future he was taken care of by the Mother Askani and the Askani Clan.
The Mother Askani can time travel and have time traveled Scott and Jean twice; one time to the past and one time to the future. Both times their mission was to save the world (more or less).
I choose to include this here because if not Scott and the others knew something of time travel and things like that then they should have been more or less hysterical and sure they were dreaming or mad after their arrival and I needed them sane so they could fight.
Phoenix was in the comics, a cosmic energy that possessed Jean and gave her great powers. In the end however, her powers went wild and Jean became evil. The short version is that the energy was more or less lost and Jean returned and was good again. Ill only use some elements of the Phoenix saga here as someone requested to see Jean in this story which I see is turning into a whole epic, even my authors notes are long *LOL*
So in short, just think of these comic elements as what could happen in the future X-Men films and try and accept it.
Anyway, hope you enjoyed anyway.
A great thanks goes out to Estelle for kind suggestions and beta of the first draft.
Thanks to Jonas for in deep knowledge of the Tolkien world and great suggestions as to how I can tie all this together in the end.
Special thanks to J. Marie T. for the final read through and Beta. I hope you enjoyed seeing Nathan mentioned, lov *G*
Also thanks to the many suggestions concerning the meeting with Galadriel; I tried to fulfill as many of your wishes, requests and suggestions as I could (some I couldnt fulfill as they contradicted each other and some I didnt because I have a plan for the end of this story which wouldnt match with the idea given).
And yes, Jean/Phoenix is finally mentioned. Those of you who asked for her I hope you like.
Thanks again. Your kind words keeps me writing.
P.S. I know this part raises a lot of questions but this is a WIP so stay calm; they'll all be answered in due time.
Your message has been successfully submitted and would be delivered to recipients shortly.

Basically, I'm really interested in buying the 16gb Nexus 7, but I don't want to pay a fortune to use data outside of my home and I found a T-Mobile mifi plan that costs £10 p/m for 2gb- not bad really.
Can I use any network's mifi for this tablet?
Thanks in advance!

Posted: 15 April 2005 at 11:01am
I just wanted to share that we have started a Qur'an study group in our city. Now this may not seem so special, but, consider that we do not have a masjid or imam and there are only four families of Muslims here!
So, the four women have started getting together every other week for a couple of hours to study Qur'an and read tafseer (and laugh and eat as well!). What a joy for me to be able to share this time with these women (me being a revert and so rejected by my former 'friends'). We are an Egypian-Canadian, an Egypian, a Palestinian, and me (the plain old Canadian).
I am so happy to share my time with these wonderful ladies and learn from them whatever I can, especially Arabic (which they speak so incredibly fast!). What a great blessing from Allah, all praise and thanks to Him!
Anyway, I guess I just wanted to share my joy about this and to encourage others to join such groups or form such groups to help us all increase our deen.
Peace, ummziba.

Es_Selam'un Aleykum ve Rahmetullahi ve Berakatuh Sister Ummziba,
Your working group is so important for improving your knowledge...don't forget that Qur'an is an Organic book that it opens it's door to the persons whom practise and live...the best way to living it is coming with the friends together and working on them(then then telling to the others);then Allah will help you for improving your knowledges...keep on the way then also invite the non-muslims to your lessons with caring the knowledge levels they have...i highly support your activity unless islam will be known as an theory including only fiqh materials which are not in the priorities;your lessons with your friends will insh'Allah open the way of understanding the priorities of Qur'an;best luck!...Wa Salaam.

Congradulations on forming the study group sista. These types of things are very important in our Muslim communities across the world. I hope all works out well and all of you are able to gain alot of knowledge through discussing and reading.
As salaam alaikum

Masha Allah a step in the right direction.
May Allah Subhanahu wa Ta'ala increase your knowledge and Iman Ameen!

subhannaAllah, dont forget the hadith that tells us to indulge in the gardens of paradise, and the sahaba asked which gardens are those? and he said the halaqat al ilm (circles of knowledge.) Even when you're just having fun with sisters, you tend to learn something new..
alhamdullilah, spead the fun! spread the knowledge! spread the iman!
umm salam

I totally knew it was coming.
It's kind of like that weather forecaster that knows an intense hurricane is coming and then somehow gets surprised when they get blown across town by the strong winds?? Yes. That is what these holiday parties are doing to me!
So Saturday was the baby's birthday party, but I will save that story for later because that deserves 300 words all to its own. 🙂
However, there was junk food (and healthy food) but I ate a lot of the junk food 🙂 there was pizza and cake and ice cream and really it was a miracle I stayed within my allotted calories — it really wasn't a miracle at all. I burned 606 calories teaching Zumba that morning. Call it a Zumba miracle.
Then Sunday comes and so does that crazy monthly aunt that makes me eat like a vacuum. I also had my church staff dinner which is located downtown at the Marriott. The food has never disappointed me and let me tell y'all it was so insanely good.
But before I get into that can I get two claps for this jacket that barely fit and didn't close when I attended this event in May, but now fits and closes super comfortably?! (NSV!)
As a part if my strategy, I did manage to fill my plate up with salad which was actually pretty yummy! But there was also a small amount of rice, fingerling potatoes and short rib that was out of this world.
For dessert I had half a red velvet cupcake (I am a huge red velvet snob) and half of a brownie.
Whew! That is a lot of crazy eating for the weekend. But I am happy to say that exercise saved the day! I am so ready to get back to normal this week. (If normal includes the company holiday party! Oy vey.)
