Renee's life had been normal until the shadows reappeared and the legendary stone was sent to her. As the arrival drags her further into the paranormal world, the last thing Renee expects is to be swept off her feet by a brooding werewolf.
Yet Coran captures her heart and attention. Small problem - he doesn't want a mate. Coran still suffers from the loss of his first mate, but when Renee is attacked by shifters he is forced to protect her at all costs. Things heat up when he realizes fate has wickedly granted him a second chance at love. With the war causing the body count to rise, now is not the ideal time to find a mate.
The Circle is becoming desperate and something has Lucius worried which means trouble for his followers. It's a dance between danger and fate in this second installment of the Dark War Chronicles.

"Better Than the First"
Yeah, it lends itself well to audio
The side characters are interesting and well developed
Lucius. That voice! He's hysterical.
I'd recommend it, even to people who haven't read/listened to the first.
It was boring and subpar.
no, just from this author.
I don't think its the narrator, its the book.
not really.

Gordon Ramsay - potty-mouthed TV host, multiple Michelin-starred and cookbook author (his latest is Gordon Ramsay's World Kitchen) - is in Toronto this week for the Chef's Challenge benefit for Mount Sinai Hospital with Jamie Kennedy, Massimo Capra, Lynn Crawford, Mark McEwan and David Rocco. He took time out from his preparations to answer your questions.
I'm a horrible cook but trying to learn. What's the best way to learn what spices go with what and how much to add?
- Amy Suzie
For me the secret is starting with the basics. Say with spaghetti, shallots, anchovy and chili. Work up from there.
We struggle to find elegant, tasty potato recipes for beef, lamb and fish. What do you recommend?
- Mike Kiely
Mashed potatoes. The secret of mash is to finish it with horseradish. Celery root and potato mashed is great too. Mustard mash is also a nice combination.
How do you make a proper pot of tea?
- Wallace Brown
The secret of making a good tea is knowing when to take the bags out. Max of two minutes or it stews.
What are some tips for the home cook to expand and refine our palates?
- Kyle Buckhout
Taste, from time to time, various vegetables and spices blindfolded. It's a great way to expand the palate.
In all your restaurants, you like to focus on foods that are unique to a country or a region. [You've recently bought a stake in Montreal eatery Rôtisserie Laurier BBQ,]what dishes do you think reflect the flavour of Montreal? Also, will there be squirrel on the menu? Lamprey eel?
- Rose Simpson
We're keeping the menu classic to the restaurant. Definitely no squirrel!

For the first time in quite a while, Philadelphia Eagles fans should be excited for the contingent that'll be traveling to Indianapolis this week for the 2013 NFL Scouting Combine.
The optimism simply comes with the new regime that's now in place. It was easy to cringe the last couple of seasons knowing general manager Howie Roseman as the key evaluator of talent. One must feel a sense of relief now that head coach Chip Kelly and new VP of player personnel Tom Gamble will accompany Roseman to the combine and facilitate the scouts throughout the college pro days up until April's NFL Draft.
Although the Eagles have been on record saying that Gamble will report directly to Roseman, we all know who has the better pedigree at this point.
The combine can be a bit overrated as to which players to select in the draft two months later, but there's comfort level entrusting football men such as Kelly and Gamble to interview potential candidates for the Eagles' future. Kelly knows what he coached against going 46-7 in the college ranks. Gamble is highly regarded as a top talent evaluator in the league.
This is not to say that Roseman is inadequate when it pertains to choosing the next team representative for the Pro Bowl, but the perception in Philadelphia is that Roseman is that business guy who's great at crunching the numbers, but in the eyes of many, Roseman still has to earn his stripes to be taken seriously.
He also has to get out from under the shadow of former head coach Andy Reid, now in with the Kansas City Chiefs. There even remains a debate as to whether which guy botched the bad drafts of 2010 and 2011. However, the 2012 draft in which Roseman takes full responsibility looks much more promising.
Nonetheless, Eagles fans have great reason to look forward to the new collaboration Kelly, Gamble and Roseman as the three men in position to turn around the franchise.

President Koroma champions new agreement with UK for reliable energy
Sierra Leone has become the first country participating in the UK's Energy Africa campaign to sign an agreement to ensure power for all citizens of Sierra Leone by 2025.
The Government of Sierra Leone will eliminate tax on qualified internationally certified renewable energy products to ensure modern power to 1 million people by 2020.
The signing between the UK and Government of Sierra Leone took place during the country's first decentralized renewable energy conference at Bintumani Conference Centre last week.
The Energy Revolution event was hosted by Sierra Leone's Ministry of Energyand the UK's Department for International Development (DFID). The one-day event, organised by global development experts Adam Smith International, is the launch of a series of renewable energy initiatives to eradicate energy poverty in Sierra Leone. The Government aims to deliver off-grid technology and solar home systems to its population, where currently less than 1% has access power in rural areas.
Sierra Leone is one of ten African nations that have joined the UK's Energy Africa campaign to expedite universal energy access to lift millions out of poverty and end dependency on aid.
The Minister of Energy Henry Macauley and the UK's International Development Minister Nick Hurd signed the Sierra Leone Energy Africa Compact agreement launching the Energy Revolution.
"It is unacceptable that today more than 600 million people across sub-Saharan Africa do not have access to electricity. In Sierra Leone alone, less than 10% of the population have electricity, and in rural areas where the majority of people live, it is practically non-existent," said Minister Hurd.
"Working in partnership with Sierra Leone, the Energy Africa campaign can help to change that. I am very proud to sign the first ever compact agreement on this campaign with the Government of Sierra Leone to ignite the solar energy market – helping to power business, hospitals and homes, making sure the poorest people no matter where they live can access clean, reliable and affordable energy."
The President of Sierra Leone, Ernest Bai Koroma, was the confirmed keynote speaker at the event and championed this new agreement that reinforces his Government's commitment to provide all its citizens with access to reliable, affordable, and sustainable energy.
In addition to the Presidential Address and signing of the Compact, the Energy Revolution also included the official launch announcement of the Renewable Energy Association of Sierra Leone. The country's leading renewable energy companies were in attendance, and the event also included a trade fair and exhibition supported by Power for All.

There's still a lot of untapped potential in DLCs (Downloadable Content). Video game companies are doing pretty good things with them today. They help expand the story, give new and fun quests, insert new characters, and correct program bugs still in the software. When done right, DLCs can really enhance the overall gaming experience.
Companies can breath life into popular older games, increasing their sales and help appeal to nostalgia by releasing DLCs for these games. Click here and then consider what could be done with the first Mass Effect game with a new DLC showing parts of the game from Saren's perspective. Saren was just as active as Shepard was throughout the game, if not more so. Where was he hiding? What was he up to? How did Sovereign discover Saren was not acting loyal?
There's a way to work the DLC to link it to new DLCs in Mass Effect 2. Saren somehow was able to finance building a sizable base on Virmire. What if Saren had backing from Donovan Hock or Henry Lawson with the base? The money had to come from somewhere. You'd have an entirely new subplot to run through the three games! You would first be Saren in the DLC in the first game. Then in Mass Effect 2, you could play a new character investigating Saren on behalf of the Alliance or the Council. The goal would be to clean up everything Saren was doing, investigate everything he was up to.
This is just an example, of course. But consider it. There are over 1100 games for the Xbox 360 and approximately 800 games for the PlayStation 3. That's a lot of games that are owned by a lot of gamers. Chances are, those gamers would love to go back and replay some of those older games, for nostalgia's sake if for anything else. I know I tend to replay my games every once in a while.
But why should video game companies consider going back to their older games? They are always moving forward to promote their newer games. What's the justification for it?
I'll admit part of the justification is purely selfish. It would be awesome to have a new DLC come out after a few years. It appeals to the fanboy in me. The other part is genuine curiosity. Would this work? Could it be profitable for a business to release DLCs for their popular older games?
It couldn't hurt for a company to try it. I would put down the money.
Would you?

- Something to simply fill up their iPod
- Something you grow in and out of
- Entertainment
- Single experiences
For children, you can create collectibles for them. Kids collect. They share. They start young. "Let's start my _____ collection." Older people hold onto music as memories - a catalyst for nostalgia.
For millenials or Generation "Y," they fall into both camps. Both their memories and means for expression are plural, consuming music at an unprecedented rate and in turn, changing the way they view the world. For them, music can and will change, as they are free-floating on the internet like ideas you stumble upon in a book. The only difference is these resources are readily available, fast-fed, and infinitely remixable.
It is this act and view of remixing that plays a vital role into the self-expression of youth today. To create, play, and share is to not be forgotten. In other words, music is still a collectible, but not in the traditional sense of ownership, but as a medium for self-fulfillment. A small piece that plays a large role in defining identity. A catalyst for expression.
Hence the design of any music delivery system requires certain values to take priority over others. One of them being the embodied experience of creating value within the domestic space. The other being designing a network of technologies that merge together as a cohesive whole. Understanding these values allows us to create experiences that are natural, seamless, and fun. Best of all, it helps further bridge the gap between multiple generations, providing more insight and understanding about one another than ever before.

Closed Schools and Unshoveled Walks
Regarding Jon and Eike Gundersen's Feb. 17 letter about last week's school closings: I'm sure the people making the decisions take all factors into account. For instance, here in Frederick County, after the roads were made safe, the school parking lots remained covered with ice that took two more days to clear. You can't have school if the teachers can't park their cars and the buses can't get in.
Though I sometimes disagree with their decisions, I try to give the benefit of the doubt to those who must decide.
And you don't have to take your kids shopping or to a movie. Ours played with the toys they already had, went sledding, read books, etc. I took a rare afternoon nap -- all three days.
New Windsor, Md.
As a New Yorker who recently moved to the area, I realize there is a lot to love about my new home. The excitement of seeing the Capitol on my way to work, the Smithsonian and the cherry blossoms in spring come to mind.
However, I believe that Washingtonians generally have a neurotic attitude about snow. In anticipation of snow, newscasters plant seeds of dread. Then, if snow arrives, the streets are not plowed quickly or well, and many people do not shovel their sidewalks.
The phenomenon of unshoveled walks days after a storm is unusual in New York and New Jersey, where snow is expected and dealt with. Here, it is dangerous to leave home until the snow melts; one never knows what one will encounter underfoot.

BOSTON — U.S. Rep. Joe Kennedy and six other members of the state's congressional delegation have sent letters to House Speaker Robert DeLeo and Senate President Stan Rosenberg urging them to pass legislation extending non-discrimination protections to transgender people in public spaces in Massachusetts.
In the letter sent Monday evening, the Democratic members of Congress urged the state Legislature to pass the bills before going on holiday break next week.
DeLeo on Monday didn't list the bills among the major pieces of legislation he hoped to take up before the break. Rosenberg favors the proposed changes.
In the letter, Kennedy and the other lawmakers said Massachusetts needs to be more welcoming to its transgender citizens.
"None of our transgender neighbors should be denied service at a coffee shop or be harassed in public restrooms because of who they are," the letter said. "None of our transgender children should encounter exclusion or intimidation that makes them shy away from participating in the life of their communities."
The letter noted that 17 other states and Washington, D.C., already have updated public accommodations laws to include transgender people and adopting the change would help Massachusetts in the vanguard of civil rights.
The letter also was signed by U.S. Reps. Niki Tsongas, Katherine Clark, William Keating, Seth Moulton, Jim McGovern and U.S. Sen. Edward Markey.
The bills would expand a 2011 Massachusetts law that already bans discrimination against transgender people in the workplace and in housing by also banning discrimination in other public accommodations.
Kennedy said the state's congressional delegation is fighting for similar transgender protections in Congress and not having the protections in place in Massachusetts makes that job tougher.

There are many unanswered questions involving a police officer-involved shooting. Rochester Police say they shot and killed a pit bull that was mauling to death a woman. Police say after officers fired their weapons, a man in the neighborhood was hit by a projectile. The woman is in critical condition, the bystander in guarded but both are expected to survive.
ROCHESTER — A woman was fighting for her life Wednesday after police say she was mauled by a pit bull.
Rochester Police say they shot and killed a pit bull that was mauling a woman in Rochester early Wednesday morning. After officers fired their weapons, the man who owned the dog was hit by a stray bullet.
Just after 1 a.m., officers say they arrived on Rockview Terrace to find an unclothed woman identified as Maria Schaffer, 33, being mauled by a pit bull. Deputy Chief Scott Peters said that officers fired at the pit bull to save the woman. The dog died at the scene.
Peters said the dog owner, Jamie Cruz, had been trying to stop the attack with verbal commands, but the dog was "uncontrollable." Peters said Cruz told officers to shoot the pit bull. Officers fire handguns and a shotgun to stop the attack, and Cruz was struck by a bullet.
"The animal was actively attacking the female by biting and chewing various areas of her body," Peters said. "Obviously, the woman's life was in danger. I have no doubt that the officers' actions saved this woman's life."
Schaffer was taken to Strong Memorial Hospital for treatment and was in critical condition in the ICU Wednesday evening, but is expected to survive, police say. Peters says Schaffer was bitten across her body and suffered serious injuries to her arm.
Cruz was also taken to the hospital for treatment. He was listed in guarded condition Wednesday evening.
Police still have to speak with Schaffer and Cruz to determine what led up to the attack. Officers say the two have a child together and had an on-and-off relationship. Officers also said they weren't sure why Schaffer was unclothed when they arrived, and weren't sure if it was a result of the attack.
Cruz has several dogs at the house, including the pit bull involved in the attack.
Neighbors said they had never seen the dog before. One of the neighbors said they were jolted awake in the night by the screaming.
"My oldest son woke me up out of a sound sleep," said Louis Crocitti. "He said 'Dad, a lady is being attacked.' Someone is being attacked, so I jumped out of bed, got dressed real quick, and grabbed the baseball bat. I was just thinking of the lady and thinking she's being mauled. The fight was knocked out of her. She wasn't even screaming or anything at that point."
Police shut down Rockview Terrace near Lyell Avenue for several hours during their investigation.

Tim Hudson pitched seven innings of four-hit ball, Evan Gattis homered, and the Atlanta Braves beat Stephen Strasburg and the Washington Nationals 3-1 Saturday for their eighth straight victory.
Hudson (2-0) allowed one run, walked none and struck out three in improving his lifetime record against Washington to 15-5. Not only did the right-hander outpitch Strasburg, but he also got two singles off Washington's hard-throwing ace.
Strasburg (1-2) gave up two unearned runs and five hits in six innings. He struck out seven, walked one and hit a batter.
Atlanta took the lead for good in the third inning, when Gattis homered after a two-out throwing error by Nationals third baseman Ryan Zimmerman. It was the fourth homer in eight games for Gattis, who made his major league debut on April 3.
That was enough offensive support for Hudson, who allowed only one runner past second base - Danny Espinoza, who hit a solo homer in the fifth.
After Eric O'Flaherty worked a perfect eighth for the Braves, Jason Heyward hit a run-scoring grounder in the ninth for a 3-1 cushion. Craig Kimbrel then got three straight outs for his sixth save in six tries.
The victory kept the first-place Braves unbeaten on the road (5-0) and increased their lead over Washington in the NL East to three games. Atlanta (9-1) is off to its best start since 1994 (13-1).
The Nationals, on the other hand, are stuck in their first skid of the season. Washington lost to Atlanta on Friday night after blowing a four-run lead.
Atlanta missed a chance to break on top in the second inning when left fielder Bryce Harper threw out Dan Uggla, who was trying to score from second on a two-out single by Hudson.
In the third, however, Gattis put the Braves up 2-0 with a shot to left after Justin Upton reached on Zimmerman's errant throw to first base, Washington's 10th error in 11 games.
Espinoza halved Atlanta's lead with his first homer of the season. Prior to that, Hudson had retired 10 of 11 batters.
After that, Hudson got seven straight outs to finish his sparkling performance.
NOTES: Nationals manager Davey Johnson said reliever Henry Rodriguez is still receiving treatment on his right elbow. Rodriguez, who pitched a scoreless eighth inning Saturday, underwent season-ending surgery last August to remove bone chips from his elbow. ... Atlanta is 7-0 when scoring first. ... The game drew a crowd of 41,992, the fifth sellout of a regular-season game in Nationals history. ... The Braves will seek to complete a three-game sweep Sunday. Paul Maholm (2-0, 0.00 ERA) with start for Atlanta, and Gio Gonzalez (1-0, 0.82) gets the call for Washington. ... Heyward went 0 for 4 and is batting .086, but in addition to his ninth-inning RBI, the right fielder made a fine diving catch in the seventh inning to rob Adam LaRoche of an extra-base hit. ... Harper went 0 for 3, only the second time in 11 games he did not reach base.

text: Lari Pittman was born in Los Angeles, California, in 1952. Pittman received both a BFA (1974) and an MFA (1976) from California Institute of the Arts, Valencia. Inspired by commercial advertising, folk art, and decorative traditions, his meticulously layered paintings transform pattern and signage into luxurious scenes fraught with complexity, difference, and desire. In a manner both visually gripping and psychologically strange, Pittman's hallucinatory works reference myriad aesthetic styles, from Victorian silhouettes to social realist murals to Mexican "retablos." Pittman uses anthropomorphic depictions of furniture, weapons, and animals—loaded with symbolism—to convey themes of romantic love, violence, and mortality. His paintings and drawings are a personal rebellion against rigid, puritanical dichotomies. They demonstrate the complementary nature of beauty and suffering, pain and pleasure—and direct the viewer's attention to bittersweet experiences and the value of sentimentality in art. Despite subject matter that changes from series to series, Pittman's deployment of simultaneously occurring narratives and opulent imagery reflects the rich heterogeneity of American society, the artist's Colombian heritage, and the distorting effects of hyper-capitalism on everyday life.

Kelis decided to do the opposite of what most celebs do and actually respond to an Instagram comment from a fan. After posting the above picture of herself on Instagram, a fan posted the comment below:
In true "I hate you so much right now" form, Kelis commented saying this: Another fan decided to comment as well with this: And Kelis also responded to him saying: Is it me or is someone still a little bit angry? I see how she tries to cover it up with the "lol and smiley face" but you can see the underlying tone. But hopefully Ms. Kelis can focus on her music and not get caught up in the whirlwind of social media. She is expected to drop a new album this September.

The dress is a McCall's pattern in black taffeta, fully lined. The bow theme was continued around the waist, at the neck, and in the wig. The bunny ear bow was wired with pipe cleaners sewn in. Red petticoat, long black thigh highs, and long gloves completed the look

- Papa and Daddy decided to do Ouro versions of themselves... I love being with Papa and Daddy!
Wig Details

- I braided the bangs in a quasi-french braid....did not use the really long ponytail clip that came with it. Added cute clips and bunny-ear bow.

Magnolia Plantation
Charleston Travel Blog› entry 1 of 1 › view all entries
Im a northerner so Im not used to that slow swagger country life with mad greenery and animals. My life has been about running around like a maniac with the animals of the concrete jungles. lol. So while I was in SC I decided to immerse myself in the one thing I felt personified Southern life the most, a plantation. What an amazing experience that was. I chose to go to Magnolia Plantation, which was a large producer of rice back in the hayday, but is now a botanical wonder. I learned so much about how that lifestyle was lived, from the plantation owner persepective to the slave perspective.
There are different activities to do on the plantation, including a train ride, a boat ride, a house tour, a lecture on the slaves, and a self guided tour around the property.

A clever ride by Jim Cassidy delivered Steps In Time successive wins in the $175,000, Group 2 NSW Thoroughbred Breeders Classic (1200m) at Rosehill on Saturday and the John O'Shea trained Danehill Dancer mare will now head to the fillies and mares Group 1 Coolmore Classic on Sydney Carnival Ladies Day, March 23rd.
Jim Cassidy and Steps In Time hold off Red Tracer in the Thoroughbred Breeders Classic, picture sportpix.com.au
Cassidy went straight to the front on Steps In Time, racing first up since November, and he patiently raced wide on the track so that he could cross to the rails ahead of Capital Commander and Tommy Berry and Red Tracer and Hugh Bowman.
They were leading by 2L passing the 600m and Cassidy settled Steps In Time into a good rhythm as they went to the final turn.
Bowman moved closer with Red Tracer and eased up outside as they came off the turn with both moving to mid-field to commence their battle down the straight.
Cassidy slipped Steps In Time out again passing the 400m to once again lead by 2L and the break was crucial to the outcome. He then kept the five –year-old mare balanced without further urging as Bowman launched Red Tracer at them.
Each time Red Tracer gained ground Cassidy quietly kept Steps In Time rolling and then over the final 50m he asked her for the final effort and the mare had enough in the tank to respond to hold out her challenger.
The margin was a half-neck with Red Tracer (Dane Shadow) 1 1/4L ahead of Choice Words (Choisir) and Peter Robl in third.
The time was 1.10.48 on the Dead 5 track with the final 600m in 34.51. Steps In Time paid $2.70 on NSW TAB as second favourite to Red Tracer at $2.50.
O'Shea said that Steps In Time would race next in the $125,000, Group 3 Liverpool City Cup (1300m) at Warwick Farm on March 9th before the $600,000, Coolmore Classic (1500m).
Cassidy commented that the mare had matured and had given up her former practice of wanted to race fiercely and her new found patience had allowed him to rate her as he wished throughout the race.
Steps In Time, picture sportpix.com.au
Steps In Time has won at listed, Group 3 level now at Group 2 level twice. She is out of the O'Reilly mare Rare Insight and this was her seventh win overall from 15 starts. With two placings she has earned stakes of $551,250 for owners NJ Hoar, MJ Everett and JS Jackson.

Gearing up for World Cup 2014: Waka Waka
World Cup 2014 is almost here and I CAN'T WAIT!!!!!
I will be incorporating World Cup-related music into my Zumba classes all World Cup long (June 12 – July 13, 2014). Here's the first and most obvious: Waka Waka (This Time for Africa) by Shakira. It was the official song of FIFA World Cup 2010 in South Africa.
If you haven't already used Waka Waka in your Zumba classes, time to choreograph a routine! (Watch the video below, and half your choreography is done!)
If you retired Waka Waka from your Zumba playlist, time to bring it out of retirement!
Do yourself a favor and watch the video, again! (Shakira's beloved, Gerard Piqué of Spain, is the first footballer featured… Awww!)

Vibram FiveFingers Shoes and Zumba
It was bound to happen: I finally saw a pair of Vibram FiveFingers shoes in one of my Zumba classes.
I do have people who occasionally go barefoot in my Zumba classes. Usually, it is because: A) They are professional or modern dancers and they choose to dance barefoot (like Shakira) or B) they forgot their athletic shoes and whatever shoes they were wearing were not appropriate for Zumba. Depending on the instructor, there can be a fair amount of pounding, jumping, twisting, and turning in Zumba. It is widely known that trained and untrained barefoot dance can cause a host of foot problems including blisters, calluses, bruises, pes planus (fallen arches or flatfeet), stress fractures, tendinitis, capsulitis, metatarsalgia, and more.
I am not a doctor, but in my opinion, using Vibram FiveFingers shoes for Zumba would only add insult to injury. Vibram FiveFingers shoes give users the feeling of being barefoot with the security of a performance rubber sole for sure grip and slip resistance.
Slip resistance and a sure grip is not what you want or need for Zumba. The increased grip of the sole will force the foot to stay in place and will lead to unnatural twisting of the ankle, knee, and hip during many dance moves in a typical Zumba class.
Do I recommend Vibram FiveFingers shoes for Zumba? No. If you truly want a natural experience, dance barefoot – and do so at your own risk. Proper footwear, like athletic dance shoes, absorb shock and protect the feet and legs from injury during high impact activity.
Save the Vibram FiveFingers shoes for barefoot running, strength training, yoga or Pilates, or after sport.Filed under Zumba, exercise | Tags: athletic dance shoes, athletic shoes, bare foot, barefoot, blister, bruise, callus, capsulitis, Dance, fallen arch, Finger, Fingers, five, FiveFinger, FiveFingers, flat feet, flatfeet, metatarsal, metatarsalgia, modern dance, pes planus, pilates, Running, shakira, shoes, stress fracture, tendinitis, Vibram, yoga, Zumba, Zumba shoes | Comments (2)

Shirley Franklin steps up for Jim Barksdale in U.S. Senate primary
The machinery intended to push political novice Jim Barksdale across the finish line in the Democratic race for U.S. Senate has begun to stir.
Below is the one-minute radio ad cut by former Atlanta Mayor Shirley Franklin endorsing both Barksdale and his hat, which he's attempting to turn into a signature symbol of his campaign:
Barksdale is self-funding this phase of his campaign and faces two unfunded primary rivals, John Coyne and Cheryl Copeland. The winner, of course, faces Republican incumbent Johnny Isakson.
Look for the Franklin endorsement to get heavy play across the state on radio frequencies with African-American audiences. In the ad, Franklin touches on the Barksdale bio but quickly gets to the essentials. A partial transcript:
"Jim started out cutting grass and delivering newspapers, and worked his way up to become an investment manager. Jim Barksdale believes in taking responsibility for his employees. When things got bad, he even took out loans and put himself in debt, so he wouldn't have to lay off anybody.
"Jim Barksdale will take the same approach in the Senate: Invest in people to create more good jobs. Education, job training, and higher wages. And he'll never cut Social Security or Medicare. Please join me in supporting Democrat Jim Barksdale for the U.S. Senate. And Jim, nice hat."
We confirmed that Secretary of State Brian Kemp's office has opened an investigation into the manner in which the city of Sandy Springs is conducting the Tuesday special election to replace Councilman Graham McDonald, who resigned to compete for the vacant House District 52 seat.
To weigh in on other primary contests, Sandy Springs voters are to report to their normal precincts. But to vote in the special council race, they must go to a separate, single voting location.
In that House District 52, being vacated by state Rep. Joe Wilkinson, R-Sandy Springs, Graham McDonald faces Deborah Silcox. On Thursday, Silcox received the endorsement of state Rep. Beth Beskin, a Republican who occupies the neighboring House seat that includes Buckhead and Brookhaven. Beskin, from the press release:
"I have known Deborah for over 20 years, since we first worked together on the Public Affairs Committee of the Junior League of Atlanta; in that capacity, we advocated at the Georgia General Assembly for issues of concern to families and children in the Atlanta area. Deborah was invaluable to me in both my 2010 campaign and 2014 campaign, in which she served as my campaign chair."
Lt. Gov. Casey Cagle has endorsed Republican incumbent Tim Echols in his primary bid for re-election to the state Public Service Commission:
"Tim's innovative vision for the future of Georgia utility markets is unrivaled and truly remarkable. He is a valuable teammate in the effort to further bring Georgia into the ever evolving 21st century economy."
Look for the favor to be returned if Cagle runs for governor in 2018.
By way of pointing us to a New York Times op-ed that he and Norm Ornstein have penned on this year's erratic polling in the presidential contest, Emory University political scientist Alan Abramowitz sends us this note:
In the past 12 months, according to Real Clear Politics, there have been 72 national polls matching Clinton with Trump—16 polls conducted by Fox News or Rasmussen and 56 polls conducted by other polling organizations. Here are the results:
— Trump has led or been tied with Clinton in 44 percent (7 of 16) of Fox and Rasmussen Polls: 3 of 5 Rasmussen Polls and 4 of 11 Fox News Polls.
— Trump has led or been tied with Clinton in 7 percent (4 of 56) of polls conducted by other polling organizations.
— To put it another way, Fox and Rasmussen together have accounted for 22 percent of all national polls in the past year, but they have accounted for 64 percent of the polls in which Trump has been leading or tied with Clinton.
The sole Democrat challenging a Republican incumbent in a swing district in South Georgia has been disqualified from running in Tuesday's primary.
Secretary of State Brian Kemp's office said Thursday that James Williams could no longer run for the seat held by Republican state Rep. Gerald Greene, R-Cuthbert. The decision gives Greene a clear path to re-election.
State officials blamed local officials for the problem. A spokeswoman for the office said that Dougherty County officials incorrectly labeled Williams as living in House District 151 when actually he lives in an adjoining district, and said the state has launched an investigation into the county's elections procedures.
"This entire situation is very unfortunate," Kemp said. "Mr. Williams relied on his precinct card and voter information to qualify for the state House, but due to county error, his information was incorrect."
Democrats had lined up a back-up candidate and lobbied unsuccessfully for Kemp to reopen qualifying for the seat. Party Chairman DuBose Porter earlier accused Kemp of playing politics with electoral rules.
"We strongly disagree with the judge's decision to prevent the voters of HD 151 from having a choice on Election Day," party spokesman Michael Smith said. "Brian Kemp continues to abdicate responsibility for his egregious mismanagement of Georgia's electoral process, but the buck stops with him."
Three Pinocchios. That's what Washington Post fact-checkers rated a recent Johnny Isakson campaign ad on the Iran nuclear deal. The Post critique has prompted what we think is the first attack on the Republican incumbent from Democrat Jim Barksdale. From the press release:
"Senator Isakson is trying to distract Georgians from what will really keep America strong and secure – a strong, broad economy that is growing, where incomes are going up," said Dave Hoffman, campaign manager for Jim Barksdale's U.S. Senate campaign. "But instead, thanks to Senator Isakson, we have trade deals that have killed jobs and tax breaks for corporations that ship jobs overseas, weakening our nation by sapping our economic strength. With that kind of record, it's no wonder why Senator Isakson is running misleading television ads."
It looks like House Speaker David Ralston's opponents have a little payback in store for the Blue Ridge Republican. They've set up a phony website – www.voteralston.info – slamming the incumbent with spurious claims. Among the tamer accusations: He's a "Non!Conservative."
It's modeled after a site Ralston's supporters set up to mock wrestling coach Sam Snider, his primary opponent in Tuesday's election.
Retiring U.S. Rep. Lynn Westmoreland, R-Coweta County, is well-known among the Washington press corps for giving golden quotes — and occasionally golden gaffes.
But Westmoreland was put in damage-control mode for something a top aide said after the staffer's email to a House GOP listserv was forwarded to a reporter. This came as the chamber debated whether to restrict the Confederate flag in federal cemeteries. Here's more from The Hill newspaper:
A top staffer for Rep. Lynn Westmoreland (R-Ga.) compared the effort to ban the Confederate flag to Islamic State in Iraq and Syria (ISIS) terrorists engaging in cultural cleansing.
"You know who else supports destroying history so that they can advance their own agenda? ISIL. Don't be like ISIL. I urge you to vote NO," Westmoreland's legislative director, Pete Sanborn, wrote in a missive provided to The Hill, using an alternate acronym for ISIS.
He signed the email as "Yours in freedom from the PC police."
Westmoreland immediately distanced himself from his aide's comments in a statement:
"I hold my staff to the highest standards and I am deeply disappointed by my staffer's poor judgment. This unprofessional language is not tolerated and is distracting from the real issues Congress is working on. The staffer has been reprimanded and I assure you it will not happen again."
And now, the hard part. Both chambers of Congress this week approved their own funding plans for combating the Zika virus. But now the two sides face a daunting task: meld their two drastically different bills together, all while Southern states anxiously watch the clock with the summer mosquito season fast approaching.
Once again, U.S. Sens. David Perdue and Johnny Isakson split their votes on Thursday as their chamber took a final vote on a $1.1 billion spending package that would designate the funding as "emergency" — which means it would add money to the deficit. (Perdue voted against and Isakson in favor.)
The vote came less than 24 hours after the House passed its own $622 million version, which offsets its costs in part by cutting Ebola funding. Click here for more from The Associated Press.
Capitol Hill's black market of free snacks is well-documented. It's common for congressional offices to be stocked with free home-state goodies for visitors — in Georgia's case, it's peanuts and Coca-Cola products.
Sounds yummy, but Sen. David Perdue may need to put some of those provisions under lock and key to protect against certain hungry Senate neighbors:
What does Perdue's office make of the daily raids?
"We're a hospitable Southern office and welcome all visitors, including the Senator's colleagues, to share our home state products anytime."
Egads. That's about all we can say.

GREEN BAY, Wis. -- Green Bay Packers shareholders had a
message for the team's top brass at their annual meeting Wednesday:
Don't give any of that record revenue to Javon Walker.
At least a dozen shareholders told general manager Ted Thompson
to hold the line on the wide receiver, who plans to stay away from
training camp because the Packers are refusing to renegotiate his
Not one of them told Thompson to give in to Walker's demands for
a hefty pay raise from the $515,000 he's scheduled to make this
season. And team president Bob Harlan, who greeted stockholders
after the packed meeting, said he got the same one-sided advice.
Thompson said he wasn't surprised by the fans' passionate pleas.
"Well, like I'm a big baseball fan, a Houston Astros fan, and
it was rumored all of sudden the Astros might consider trading
Roger Clemens. And I'm upset. And I'm in another business, but I'm
upset," Thompson said. "If I'd have been in front of the people
making those decisions, I'd have said, 'Please don't trade Roger
"I think passion is a good thing."
After the meeting, Thompson and Harlan were peppered with
questions from fans, many of whom were fuming over Walker's demands
for a trade or a new deal while he still has two years remaining on
the five-year contract he signed in 2002.
Thompson said he appreciated the support but politely stood up
for Walker on a couple of occasions.
"Things like this happen in professional sports. It's just the
nature of the business," Thompson said. "It doesn't mean he's a
bad person. He's a good kid. We hope he's here for a long time."
At which point, another fan said, "Yeah, don't trade him. But
don't pay him!"

Clare have been dealt a blow ahead of their All-Ireland SHC quarter-final with the news that David McInerney is now in a race against time to be fit for the July 22nd clash against Tipperary.
The Tulla clubman is believed to have picked up a hamstring injury at training on Tuesday night and could miss out on the Banner men's last eight meeting with the All-Ireland champions on Saturday week.
Joint managers Donal Moloney and Gerry O'Connor will be hoping that McInerney recovers as the 24-year-old looks the most likely candidate to pick up Tipp marksman Seamus Callanan, who notched 3-4 from play against Dublin last weekend.
Reports of McInerney's injury first surfaced on Club Clare this morning.

This is a careful, thoughtful, well established practice that has been going on for decades and in the three funding cycles I was involved in, Council accepted all our recommendations and integrated them into the city's budget. http://www.preferredglobal.org/BlackInfrared6s/ http://www.preferredglobal.org/BlackInfrared6s/ - Black Infrared 6s He smiled, waved and seemed genuinely happy to be there, taking his seat in the front row, off to the side, alongside the red draped cardinals.It was the first time Benedict and Francis have appeared together at a public liturgical ceremony since Benedict retired a year ago and became the first pope to step down in more than 600 years.The significance of his presence was multifold, signaling both continuity and even a sign of Benedict's approval of the 19 men Francis had chosen to join the College of Cardinals, the elite group of churchmen whose primary job is to elect a pope.Francis' choices largely reflected his view that the church must minister to the peripheries and not be a closed institution of rules but rather a place of welcome and mercy.STAR NEWS: a statewide ban on deep injection wells for contaminated wastewater could have implications beyond just the fracking industry, experts say.

But that doesn't mean that it doesn't matter."Public spending cutbacks across the developed world are partly to blame: As governments have sought ways to save, aid ministries have generally lost out to more politically powerful domestic issues, such as education, healthcare, or defense.The end of the cold war has dimmed the aid picture too, now that Western governments feel less of a need to keep developing client states and allies in line. http://www.thamesportmarina.com/LegendBlue11s/ - Legend Blue 11s One thing holding back a lot of business decisions has been the uncertainty over who will control the government next year.

Sure, it is important to make sure that courts do not change election rules at the last minute, but there were other issues at stake in deciding on the Texas stay. For example, the trial court after a full trial on the merits found that Texas was intentionally discriminating against minority voters. It appears to be unprecedented to let a law that was deemed racially discriminatory go into effect simply to avoid the risk of voter confusion and election administration inefficiency.The National Health Services Corps now has 8,900 health care providers but would increase to 15,000 people in the service every year for the next five years.

Here we provide Caps Racing V 1.2.1 for Android 3.2+ "In my time, during my childhood, kids didn't get used to be stuck inside houses and condos. Video-games and computers were not available for all.
All kids used to interact more and used their imagination to spend their time with fun games. They played with marbles, hide and seek, kites, go-carts, bicycles and other toys.
One of these games that brings me joyful memories of my childhood is when we used to race with bottle caps (or "chapinhas" racing in Brazil).
Houses were constantly in construction reform, which lead to a lot of sand.
All kids got together, we built a track for the race and every kid searched for its best bottle cap.
The position in the race was defined by odds or evens, or zeros or ones, another common way to solve disputes between kids.
When the race started, every kid had three flicks in order to push their bottle caps. Whoever went the most distance with their bottle cap would win, exceeding many obstacles and curves.
This game was pure fun. It required ability and strategy in order to go far and win.
People think that only expensive gifts bring happiness and joy to kids, but you don't need a lot to make them happy. Just give the freedom to create and live.
Inspired by these joyful memories, I have created the video-game of Bottle Caps Racing. This game takes this fun game inspired by children's imagination to the digital world and the best part is that you can still play it in the real world, with lots of sand and a few bottle caps."

During the final day of minicamp offensive tackle Walter Jones ran wind sprints and worked out of a three-point stance at the end of practice. It was the first, significant work Jones had done on the field since opting for microfracture knee surgery to alleviate pain in his left knee that shortened his 2008 season.
Jones is expected to make a full recovery and be ready for training camp at the end of July. However, at 35 years old, Jones is coming to the end of an impressive career as one of the top tackles in the game. If Jones cannot return to the field healthy, Seattle will have to resort to Plan B, which is move right tackle Sean Locklear to left tackle and play Ray Willis at right tackle.
The Seahawks signed Locklear to a five-year, $32 million deal with an eye toward him replacing the talented left tackle once Jones retires. Locklear makes $1 million in 2009, but his salary balloons to $4.85 million for the 2010 season. The Seahawks also signed Ray Willis to a two-year deal during the offseason to provide depth at tackle, and to also compete for the starting right guard spot with Rob Sims.
However, if Jones cannot make a healthy return, Seattle will be thin at tackle and might have to make a move to bring in another body during training camp.
Mora praised defensive ends
CB Ken Lucas was signed during the offseason and immediately anointed the starter, which did not sit well with the guy he replaced, cornerback Josh Wilson. However, instead of sulking, Wilson has competed hard and had a good offseason. This position battle should be one to watch during training camp.
WR Deon Butler, a third-round draft choice by the team, has impressed his teammates by consistently getting behind the team's veteran corners for long gains. Butler is a smaller guy at 5-10, 180 pounds, but has the speed to make an impact offensively and in Seattle's return game.
LG Mike Wahle did not practice at all during offseason workouts, still rehabbing from shoulder surgery that ended his 2008 campaign early. Wahle is expected to return for training camp, but if he can't stay healthy expect rookie Max Unger to step in at left guard to fill the void.
K Olindo Mare is in the final year of a two-year contract, and would like an extension. Mare performed well last season. However, the Seahawks have kept around last year's sixth-round draft choice

Could be, I had some very troubling troubles getting X running. In fact, this was the reason I moved to Woody. I have an onboard Intel i810 chipset and I couldn't get Potato to work with it. So now I am running Xfree86 4.0.1 with the i810 module. Maybe a bug in it, indeed? ANother problem is that I can't get it to work on 1280x1024... The X server insists on going to 1024x768.... ARGH... Does anyone have any hints to get this working? If so, please mail me privately, I'm not subscribed to the mailinglist. Best regards, Manuel Bilderbeek - a Newbian
