Voting Information
Congress enacted the National Voter Registration Act of 1993, 42 U.S.C. 1973gg-5(a), (b), to enhance voting opportunities for every American and to remove the vestiges of discrimination which have historically resulted in lower voter registration rates of minorities and persons with disabilities. The NVRA has brought new voices to the political process by making it easier for all Americans to exercise their fundamental right to vote.
Note: Voter registration is a county function. Georgia counties issue voter registration cards after reviewing and processing applications.
If you have misplaced or have not received your precinct card within two to three weeks of submitting your voter registration application, please contact your local county registration office to request a new precinct card or to check the status of your application.

Also, you may not register to vote if you are currently:
In the state of Georgia, you do not have to register by political party to vote in the state's regular primaries or general elections.
You may register to vote at any time, but you must be registered by the close of registration prior to an election if you wish to vote on election day, i.e., the application must be postmarked by the voter registration deadline. If you are not registered to vote, register today.
If you are registering for the first time in Georgia, and you register by mail, you are required to show one of the acceptable types of identification by:
mailing a copy of the identification with your voter registration application
providing a copy of the identification to the registrar during the absentee voting process.
Voter Registration
Georgia citizens have access to several convenient methods of registering to vote:
Change of Residence
Voters are required to notify the board of registrars of their county of residence whenever they move.
If you move within the same county in which you are registered to vote and don't notify the registrar at least 30 days prior to an election, you may vote in your old polling place for that election. You must file a notice of your new address. This can be done by writing your county board of registrars' office, or by submitting a new voter registration application.
If you move outside the county in which you are registered to vote within 30 days of an election, you may vote in your old precinct for that election.
If you move outside the county in which you are registered to vote in excess of 30 days prior to an election, you have lost your eligibility to vote in the county of your old residence. You must register to vote in your new county of residence. If you don't register to vote by the deadline, you cannot vote in that particular election.
Precinct Cards
If you have misplaced or have not received your precinct card within two to three weeks of submitting your application, please contact your county board of registrars' office to request a new precinct card or to check the status of your application.
Voting Procedures
Who, What, When, Where, Why, and How...
Who will get my vote?
Each fall, Georgians vote on a variety of different elected positions:
After the close of qualifying for each election, you may reference the official candidate qualifying database to see who is running for each elected office. Please access our poll locator to determine your respective congressional and legislative districts. Also, sample ballots are available through your county or municipal election superintendent's office prior to the election.
What is a registrar, primary, poll, etc.?
Please reference the Georgia Election Code for details regarding the electoral process in our state.
When do I vote?
Polls are open from 7:00 a.m. until 7:00 p.m. on each election day. However, any voter who is waiting in line to vote at 7:00 p.m. will be allowed to vote. Peak voting hours are historically from 7:00 a.m. until 9:30 a.m., 4:30 p.m. until 7:00 pm, and during the mid-day lunch hour.
Where do I vote?
Each voter must vote at the polling place designated for the precinct in which the voter lives - the location of your polling place is located on your precinct card. If you have misplaced your card or do not know where your precinct is located, please use our poll locator.
Why should I vote?
Your vote is your voice in the governance of your city, county, state and country. As a citizen, you declare your rights and privileges with your vote. Contrary to popular belief, one vote - your vote - does make a difference.
How do I vote?
As there are approximately 8,000 ballot styles within the state of Georgia due to various district lines, sample ballots are available through your county or municipal election superintendent's office at your polling place on election day or prior to an election upon request. Voters are authorized to carry a sample ballot or list of selected candidates with them to the polls to aid them in voting their ballot. You may not share the sample ballot or candidate list with other voters at the polls, but you may use it for your benefit.
Absentee Voting
A voter who requests an absentee ballot by mail is not required to provide a reason why he or she is voting absentee.
You may vote by absentee ballot in person if:
How do I apply for an absentee ballot?
You may request an absentee ballot as early as 180 days before an election. Absentee ballots must be received by the county board of registrars' office by 7:00 p.m. on election day. No absentee ballots are issued on the day before or the day of an election. You may download an application for official absentee/advance ballot and mail it or fax it to your county board of registrars' office. The application must be in writing and contain the address to which the ballot is to be mailed, sufficient information to identify you as a voter, and the election in which you wish to vote - no reason is required when requesting an absentee ballot by mail. If you are physically disabled or living temporarily outside your county of residence, a close relative may apply for an absentee ballot for you.
Applications for absentee ballots by uniformed or overseas voters (pursuant to the Uniformed and Overseas Citizens Absentee Voting Act) can be accepted more than 180 days prior to a primary or election in which a federal candidate appears on the ballot as well as for any runoffs resulting therefrom including presidential preference primaries for two general elections.
May I receive assistance with my absentee ballot?
A physically disabled or illiterate voter may receive assistance from another voter in the same county or municipality or from the same category of relatives who can make an application for or deliver an absentee ballot. If the voter is outside of the county or municipality, then a notary public can provide such assistance. Any person who assists another person to vote absentee must complete an oath prescribed by law demonstrating the statutory disability and that the ballot was completed as the voter desired. Other than federal elections, no person may assist more than ten voters in a primary, election, or runoff. A candidate on the ballot, or a relative of a candidate on the ballot, may not offer assistance during the election to any voter who is not related to the candidate.
Information Regarding Advance Voting
Voting on Election Day
When you arrive at your polling place, you will complete a voter's certificate which asks for your name and residence address. You will then present the certificate and proper identification to the poll officials who will verify that you are a registered voter in that precinct by checking the voters list for that precinct. Voters are required to present identification at their polling place prior to casting their ballot. Proper identification shall consist of any one of the following:
(1) A Georgia driver's license which was properly issued by the appropriate state agency;
(2) A valid voter identification card or other valid identification card issued by a branch, department, agency, or entity of the State of Georgia, any other state, or the United States authorized by law to issue personal identification containing a photograph; (3) A valid United States passport;
(4) A valid employee identification card containing a photograph of the elector and issued by any branch, department, agency, or entity of the United States government, this state, or any county, municipality, board, authority, or other entity of this state;
(5) A valid United States military identification card containing a photograph of the elector;
(6) a valid tribal identification card containing a photograph of the elector
A first time registrant by mail may also provide one of the following additional forms of identification: a copy of a current utility bill, bank statement, government check, paycheck or other government document that shows the name and address of the elector.
If the elector is a first time registrant by mail who did not provide one of the acceptable forms of ID at the time of registration this voter must show proper identification. If the elector is unable to show identification at the time of voting they may vote a provisional ballot which will be counted only if the voter presents identification within the 2 day period following the election.
If your name is found on the voter list, you will be issued a voter access card and admitted into a voting booth to cast your vote using an

Seeing a pathway to more victories, same-sex marriage advocates celebrated Tuesday night when they finally won at the ballot box for the first time after 32 straight defeats.
Traditional marriage advocates, however, argued it was premature to characterize Tuesday's votes as some type of decisive turning point.
Same-sex marriage was legalized by voters in Washington, Maine and Maryland, while a proposal to ban it through constitutional amendment was defeated in Minnesota. The existing statute against gay marriage remains on the books there.
"These were difficult states for conservatives, especially for social conservatives, but even in these states we came very near," said Princeton professor Robbie George, a high-profile traditional marriage advocate and a member of the Deseret News editorial advisory board.
George noted that in each state where the margins were narrow, traditional marriage supporters were badly outspent. George also took some solace in the fact that the marriage issue ran well ahead of Mitt Romney at the top of the ticket in deep blue — or very Democratic — states.
On the other hand, Jonathan Cowan, the president of Third Way, a centrist Democrat think tank, framed the results as a breakthrough.
"We have crossed a crucial threshold in our country's journey on marriage for gay couples," Cowan said, according to a report by the Los Angeles Times. "For the first time in history, the people of a state voted directly to allow committed gay and lesbian couples to marry."
"That means," he added, "we've put our past 0 and 32 record behind us and finally refuted marriage opponents' constant refrain: That every time marriage has come up for a ballot initiative vote, it has lost. That record of defeat is now relegated to the history books, and we are beginning a new season when marriage can win."
Traditional marriage advocates were chastened but remained determined. "We were outspent 8-to-1, and no one was willing to speak for marriage, while the whole Democratic establishment and Hollywood campaigned for marriage," wrote Maggie Gallagher in the National Review. "Last night really is a big loss, no way to spin it."
In Maine, gay-marriage advocates canvassed door to door over the last three years, engaging in one-on-one persuasion. They believe the work made an impact, as areas where they worked turned in higher margins than those they missed, according to the AP.
The three-year effort began after the voters in 2009 overturned a statute allowing same-sex marriage that had been passed by the Legislature by a 53-47 margin. This direct-persuasion model, which resulted in more than 200,000 conversations, according to Mainers United, is now viewed by advocates as a path forward in places where they have previously lost at the polls.
Where same-sex marriage advocates were exultant, traditionalists were assessing how these changes might affect their efforts.
"We have noticed for some time that the facts on the ground are changing," said Bill Duncan, director the Marriage Law Foundation, a nonprofit conservative advocacy group. "The coalition for redefining marriage has coalesced into something quite solid," he added, noting the shift within the Democratic party over the past year.
One key factor this year was the willingness of major corporations, including Amazon, Costco and General Mills, to come out aggressively in support of same-sex marriage, Duncan said.
"In some ways these companies may lead public opinion, and in some ways it reflects their judgment that public opinion has changed. They wouldn't do that if they felt they would get massive consumer desertion."

BRISTOL, Conn. (AP) — ESPN reporter Erin Andrews' attorney and the network say she was surreptitiously videotaped in the nude while she was alone in a hotel room.
The blurry, five-minute video was posted on the Internet. It shows a nude blond woman standing in front of a hotel room mirror. It's unknown when or where the video was taken.
Andrews' attorney, Marshall Grossman, says the 31-year-old reporter plans to seek criminal charges and file civil lawsuits against the unknown cameraman and anyone who publishes the material.
EPSN spokesman Josh Krulewitz says that "Erin has been grievously wronged" by the video and its distribution. He says the network is fully supporting its reporter.

White Sox, O's jockey for playoff position in finale
The White Sox won the third game of the series 8-1 and will look to salvage a split against the Orioles on Thursday.
Both teams are very much alive in the playoff hunt and could use a win. White Sox manager Robin Ventura said he's happy with the position his team is in.
"I don't know if you're looking forward to it, but you're happy that is the way it is, that we do get to play those meaningful games," Ventura said.
The White Sox will need a solid outing from starter Jose Quintana, who's done well so far in August. In four starts in the month, the lefty has allowed just nine runs, going 1-1 with a 3.08 ERA.
His last start ended in a no-decision after throwing 5 2/3 innings and giving up three runs on five hits and four walks with four strikeouts.
Fellow southpaw Zach Britton, who makes the start for Baltimore, is coming off a pair of solid starts as well, each resulting in a win. The latest was 6 2/3 innings against the Blue Jays, in which he gave up two runs on four hits and two walks with six strikeouts.
Britton has been hot and cold since being called up to the Majors on July 17. In four of his seven starts, he's given up four or more runs, but he's given up two or fewer in the other three outings.
White Sox: Pierzynski sits Wednesday against Orioles
For one reason or another, Orioles pitchers have had A.J. Pierzynski's number, and it led to Ventura giving him the night off in Wednesday's victory.
Tyler Flowers started in place of the veteran Pierzynski, who's been hitless in his last 14 at-bats against Baltimore and is just 5-for-32 in his last 10 games against the club.
"I think it's more for the mind than anything else," Ventura said about the move. "Tyler's been doing fine lately, so it's a good break for A.J."
Ventura added that Pierzynski will be back in the lineup in the series finale on Thursday.
Orioles: Bundy won't be part of callups
When rosters expand on Saturday, one player who likely won't be called up to the Majors is 19-year-old pitching prospect Dylan Bundy.
Instead, Baltimore will send the fourth overall pick from the 2011 First-Year Player Draft to instructional league when the season ends for Double-A Bowie. Bundy, who is in his first professional season, was 2-0 with a 3.24 ERA and 19 strikeouts in 16 2/3 innings with Bowie after being promoted from Class A Frederick.
Bundy is considered the organization's top pitching prospect, and manager Buck Showalter didn't rule him out of being called up to Baltimore at some point before the end of the year.
"There's some other things that happen if you do that," Showalter said. "Frankly, what you got to ask yourself is, does he have a chance to be on your club to start the season next year? And that kind of affects the way you look at it."
Worth noting
White Sox pitcher Jake Peavy, who has a minor eye injury, is not expected to miss Friday's start after being pushed back from Wednesday.
Orioles outfielder Adam Jones went 0-for-4 on Wednesday, a day after hitting his 100th career home run.

Hula Ku'i - GRAMMY® NOMINEE
Raised on homestead land in Waimanalo, Lolena 'Lena' Naipo, Jr. goes back to his roots with his band Kahulanui in their first release, Hula Ku'i. Kahulanui is an inspiration passed down from his grandfather Robert Kahulanui. Lolena remembers stories of his grandfather who was a member of the Royal Hawaiian Band during an era when horns and drums were a part of Hawaiian music. It was from these beginnings that he draws from for Hula Ku'i. "Throughout Hawai'i in the 20s and 30s, one could find orchestras playing Hawaiian Swing and the house would be jumping. Kahulanui borrowed from these influences and performed classic Hawaiian songs in a syncopated style making Hawaiian Swing vibrant and alive in Hawai'i today. With musical influences from Uncle Alvin Kaleolani Isaac, Ray Kinney, Sam Koki, Lani McIntryre and even Spike Jones, I am excited for you to hear Kahulanui with the Kahulanui horn section. It's Hawaiian Swing at its finest and with today's technology and the magic of GRAMMY® award-winning engineer/producer Charles Michael Brotman, you have one of the most innovative releases to come out of the islands. You won't be sitting for long once you hear Kahulanui's Hula Ku'i... 'ami aku, 'ami mai, 'ami 'ami malie…" - Skylark Rossetti

TAIMANE: Her name means "diamond" in Samoan and perfectly reflects the different facets of her nature. Whether delicately finger-picking through Bach or radically ripping through Led Zeppelin, Taimane has the ability to morph genres – from classical to rock to flamenco – and stretch her instrument far beyond the familiar melodies of Hawai`i, where she grew up.

When Don Ho caught wind of the talented teen, he invited her to join him as part of his venerable variety show at the Waikiki Beachcomber, further fueling Taimane's desire to perform for and connect with audiences.
In addition to performing her own distinctive versions of well-known pieces, Taimane weaves in original compositions that are as far ranging as her musical tastes. Her breakout CD, 'Ukulele Dance features Bach's "Tocatta," Lalo Schifrin's "Mission Impossible Theme," and pieces she wrote for the planet Neptune and the Moon, as part of her series on the solar system.
With the fierceness of a rocker, the grace of a dancer, and the pageantry of a performance artist, Taimane and her music are wowing ever-larger audiences. She lights up rooms wherever she goes, sparkling like the diamond that she is. Learn More

Al Qaeda in Europe: the new battleground of international jihadThe July 2005 London bombings are yet another example of how Europe has emerged as one of the key battlegrounds in the global War on Terror. The region has become a critical 'ground zero' for Islamist terrorists, not only as a target but as a base of operations. The implications for the United States are tremendous: under existing law, for example, terrorists carrying European passports could easily enter the country. It is not a coincidence, in fact, that every attack planned or executed against the United States, including 9/11, has had strong European ties. This is the first book in English that dissects Islamic terrorism in Europe. The book fills a critical gap in the understanding of the new threats posed by Islamist terrorism. Vidino analyses the causes of this dangerous situation while providing an extensive historical overview of Islamic terrorist activities in Europe. The book shows how terrorists -- most of them native to the Continent -- raise money, communicate, and hide in plain sight in the suburbs of London, Paris, and Amsterdam. It presents with painful clarity the difficulties that law enforcement agencies world-wide have had in shutting terror cells down. Finally, the book describes three of the most important networks operating in Europe. Vidino analyses events such as the Madrid train bombings, the thwarted plot to attack various European capitals with chemical weapons, and the movements of hundreds of European Muslims who are joining terrorist groups in Iraq to fight U.S. forces. Vidino includes fascinating information taken from a dozen countries' original documentation (intelligence reports, indictments, court transcripts), plus transcripts of conversations among al Qaeda operatives that have been intercepted by intelligence agencies. "Al Qaeda in Europe" is authoritative, informative and written in a lively narrative that will captivate general readers, and become a valuable new resource for scholars and government officials. |

With Select Board Set to Meet, Blandford Fire and Medical Response Mostly Covered
The select board in Blandford, Massachusetts, is due to meet Friday to discuss the resignation of its entire fire department. The Blandford fire chief and volunteers quit this week, in part over whether the select board gets a say in picking new firefighters.
The immediate impact may not be too severe, according to Mary Regan, the fire chief in Westfield, about ten miles away. That's because Blandford contracts out to a private company for ambulance service.
Plus, the town of 1200 is regularly assisted - for both medical and fire calls, Regan says - by nearby communities, including Westfield, which has a fully staffed fire department.
"There may be some delay in having a first responder get on the scene. But basically your ambulance is not being impacted at all," Regan says.
Still, Regan wants the dispute settled, because right now there is a risk.
"If we're responding to Blandford, that means that we have equipment that's out of our community and not available to the people that we're supposed to serve," she says.
Blandford Selectman Adam Dolby says he's hopeful all can be set right at Friday night's meeting.

Ebel Classic Hexagon Retrograde Power Reserve Watch
The 45.4mm wide case is in 18k rose gold, crystal is sapphire, and the watch is only water resistant to 50 meters. I do like the contrasting polished and brushed surfaces on the case, and the way the strap forms to the case is smooth and well done. Movement is an automatic Soprod caliber 9094 movement (base ETA). You can see the functions include the time, day, date on a retrograde scale, and a power reserve indicator.

Male breaks leg after ditch fall in Shoebury - Updated
9:14am Sunday 10th June 2012 in Local News
A man was left with a broken leg after falling into a ten foot deep ditch in Shoebury on Saturday night.
The casualty aged 31 fell into the ditch off Ness Road at about 9.20pm, breaking his left leg in the process.
Despite being able to call for help from his mobile phone, paramedics could not find the man with the police having to be called out to search for him.
He was eventually found by officers near the junction of Church Road after a search which took over an hour to complete.
Crews from Southend fire station had to assist paramedics who were unable to get into the deep ditch by using one of their ladders to drag him out.
Shortly after being retrieved from the ditch at about 11.30pm, the man was taken to Southend Hospital for treatment.

Narwhals are white and gray whales that live in the artic ocean. These 10 foot long mammels have one long tusk sticking out of their mouth. Scientest have learned that nawhals can dive up to 500 feet into the artic ocean. People say this tooth is used for defense and breaking through ice. Royalty used to belive that the tusk could block poisen and chemicals. The narwhal feeds on fish and other animals. I think that getting a better knwledge are Narwhals may help people understand how animals adapt to the cold far north. I'm really intrested in narwhals because of their cool horns.

Turnstone Campfire CollectionThe Campfire Collection represents the latest in collaborative office furniture. Made by Turnstone, Campfire is meant to foster awesome brainstorming sessions, informal and formal meetings, and quick getaways for individuals. Far from the frequently stifling conference room environment, Campfire provides a relaxed atmospher where ideas can flow freely. Turnstone designs office furniture to be different, and the colorful, almost whimsical feel of the Campfire Collection is most certainly that. |
The Turnstone Campfire collection is the next wave in the evolution of amazing office design. The modern office presents challenges and opportunities that haven't existed before. The increasingly connected and communal world of the office is need of furniture that both meets its needs and exceeds expectations. This is where Turnstone and the Campfire Collection comes in. Campfire creates circle-oriented group seating as well as privacy oriented individual space for private conferences, brainstorms, reflections, and break time.
Campfire is all about beautiful furniture that doesn't look like anything you've ever seen before. It's all about productive, efficient office furniture that doesn't work they way any other office furniture set-up has worked before. The challenge was to foster and harness the creative group and individual energy that is fostered around an informal campfire, and bring it into the hectic world of the office. To that end all Campfire furniture is about creating spaces for groups and individuals to think. But it goes beyond the simple ideas of cubicle design - the Crushed Can stools, the big lamp, the creative partitions - they all work together to provide an oasis in the middle of the busy office.
Products like the Campfire lounger, table, big lamp and more are fresh and unique, with a very modern edge. The design is beautiful but useful, productive and efficient while also providing physical and psychic space to think and collaborate. The modern office needs modern furniture solutions for workers - and Campfire provides that with aplomb.
Like all Turnstone furniture, the Campfire Collection is also designed to accommodate and organize the trappings of our increasingly wired and connected office spaces - electronics, cables and laptops/tablets/phone devices are easily stored and utilized.

They come from up here in the the Northwest, but they've recently relocated to Soddo to live with and reach with Jesus' love the needy and oppressed in their community. Soddo's main power plant underwent an explosion and destructive fire this week. Here's what Sidney has to share.}
One of the things that Sidney & Mark Launder are involved with is witnessing to the local Ethiopian people through their "Jesus Film Ministry". They have acquired a projection system that can be run off of power from their home, and on Friday nights the past few weeks have been showing Campus Crusade's Jesus Film (translated into Amharic) to all comers. They hang a white sheet in a tree by their home to project the film onto and invite the neighbors - last Friday they had over 150 in attendance. Sidney is working with local pastors who issue an "altar call" after showing the film - last week 20 people gave their lives to Jesus.
The entire area continues to be blacked out by the destruction of the Soddo power plant. Only those who have access to a generator (such as the Soddo Christian Hospital) are able to have any light at night. The Launders have a small generator, big enough to run a few lights and a couple small appliances, but as fuel sources are extremely tight they are limiting its use to a few hours a day. There also is a critical water shortage throughout the whole area as there is no power to run the pumps that move the water through the local water system.
Here's an excerpt from an email Sidney sent me last night:
"I am not sure how long we will be able to stay here, until they get this fixed. We did Donkey water yesterday and they are saying that the source is drying up. We have 2 full tanks. Which in normal use is just 3 to 4 days worth at best. …Rationing I don't know. People are really sad about this. I went down to the power plant with Gold and I preached for a while to the people about bending their knees to God and repenting and having a relationship with him, as there are many people there staring at the charred remains. We will be the only light on the Ottano hill tonight as we will be using our precious fuel to show the Jesus Film right under the power lines….how about that…Showing them the real Light of the World. Pray."
("Donkey Water" is water hauled from a local polluted river or town water taps in jugs on the back of donkeys and as demand increases, so does the price).
Pray for:
- Many to come to know Jesus as Lord in the midst of this severe trial.
- The showing of the Jesus Film to bring many into relationship with Christ. Sidney is showing the film on Friday night, which is 8AM-10AM Friday morning (today) in Spokane.
- Wisdom for Sidney, Josh & Lindsey Roe and other local missionaries as to how best minister to the people
- Protection and Provision for basic needs (water/fuel/food) for the Launders and Roes, and for all the Ethiopia people affected by this disaster.
And remember, we know a God more powerful than disaster, more illuminating than electricity. Remember to pray for his Spirit to woo the souls of the lost in Ethiopia and that they might respond to the God of all Power who died to save them and lives to make them free.
Isaiah 51:15-16
For I am the LORD your God,
who stirs up the sea, causing its waves to roar.
My name is the LORD of Heaven's Armies.
And I have put my words in your mouth
and hidden you safely in my hand.
I stretched out the sky like a canopy
and laid the foundations of the earth.

For the past week Kennedy has been our correspondent at the Republican Convention I ask her to try to cover what the mainstream media -- So she first checked out the anti capitalist protesters complaints about corporate rule.
-- -- -- -- In these complaints about Wall Street.
Kennedy saw hypocrisy it.
-- -- Failing snacks while they all fly united and they all pumped their hearts -- Chevron gas.
Stayed out of the corporations.
And I mean because they -- really worried about environment look at a computer do you.
I used a five year old Mac.
And corporation I know I see that they did -- -- computer I've -- mine had I don't think so.
Kennedy dead they make any sense.
Extensive themselves the and I kid you think either going to be the freedom lovers.
Want their own set of lines.
They really don't love freedom across the board -- -- their.
Hypocritical what are the.
I hear there are there are people who call themselves anarchist there.
In they're calling for more regulation.
They are they they want regulation on corporation and they want -- at their own form of government smothering.
Even though they've they say there an -- -- where the pretty masks and it's hypocrisy across the.
-- RI while there they -- there weren't that many of them so let's move on because Kennedy also covered the convention.
With Ron Paul's success in mind Republicans.
Kept talking about.
Freedom and opportunity.
The party aren't really -- -- we couldn't agree to disagree on certain issues but the end of the day we have the right message and breaking it went.
On Tuesday Ron Paul delegates try to at least nominate the -- they hit pledge to represented.
For the Republican rule since the thank you need delegate signatures from five states.
Hold got petitions from the event at Minnesota native Iowa landscape.
But the party.
Then changed the -- on the spot they sit delegates need petitions from eight sticks in other words it's like changing the goal posts and middle of the game.
So Ron Paul made a brief appearance in the convention floor but.
Nothing official.
Can he caught up for them right before he left.
Doctor Paul congratulations on your campaign and igniting your supporters passion we haven't seen those delegates.
They -- so hard to their -- they're really fighting down their what did you say to them when you went on the floor.
Well it's mostly been pretty much -- -- encouragement thank you I love your enthusiasm.
Do your best and that sort of thing.
Nothing no particular risk.
There fighting for the soul of the party they want to keep your message alive how do they do that.
MAS to do what they think they -- that yeah.
Some people may run -- people might support on the candidates some credit risk to study.
And that's what amazes me that you should go and study -- -- and they read economics.
And they changer careers and also in the utterly amazed about what what they do.
One thing -- -- have another -- passionate -- thousands of people show.
Few politicians get anywhere near distrust him even Ron Paul -- -- certain lines so many come.
I can't claim anything special all I can claim is -- sincere interest determination and conviction.
That the spirit of liberty the principles -- liberty and all that we congrats they're correct.
And I always say I recognize my shortcomings and I don't pretend that you know and the greatest speaker handles.
But I am convinced.
-- we pursue and follow up and it being a -- cause of liver that was given us an.
We don't have to go back to the dark ages of authoritarianism.
Are we are the future and I Wheeler to -- we are the future.
Well a lot of people and.
-- -- that rally talk about young people they are the future Gary Johnson the likes you except that the tonne from you is that yours to pass and are you willing to do that though.
Having -- -- to pass anything yet you know -- support him.
I think he's wonderful and I he's doing a good job then people should look at him in every individual should make up their -- OK yeah he wouldn't come out really and endorse Gary Johnson Gary Johnson for those -- you don't know is the Libertarian Party.
The head of the Libertarian Party take -- Ron Paul has run as a libertarian.
May be -- Kennedy what do you think.
About you.
I think that that he stopped -- endorsement but I think you're gonna see a lot of -- -- -- have been disenfranchised.
At this convention by the Republican establishment they're gonna take a good hard look.
At Gary Johnson and the Libertarian Party.
The -- like held a press conference today outside and not to spend the Tea Party movement.
And other grassroots movements like Rick Santorum -- -- washed with these rule changes.
And they're not happy about it.
Are well I have a point of view and I'm okay with Santorum big squash but I didn't like Ron Paul being squashed and and that his delegates there at that -- was there acceptance this is just part of the game may be.
Our Ron Paul's son Rand will carry on the banner or are people were where they upset.
-- the delegates have worked so hard they were upset and -- side.
To get him to speak on stage they -- what ever they could to get him in nomination.
It didn't work and they were turned away.
Will they turn to Rand Paul -- they turn to Gary Johnson.
Time will tell and it's up to the individual that's what Ron Paul.
Wanted to get across -- supporters they played a tape.
Ron Paul and afterward a lot of the Paul delegates just walked out protests today.
Yeah did did the convention notice that -- was it a big thing small thing.
No they they did notice that there is discord within the Republican Party.
They're trying to make it seem like this is a completely united party and it's just simply not and we have seen the fissures exposed this week.
And if Mitt Romney loses.
The party will does all the little bit -- will have to reinvent itself.
I'm impressed that you can walk and talk among all those people -- -- thank you do.

It's great for high traffic kitchens and It's fun for kids and adults alike.
Step 1: What You Need
-Super Shield conductive nickel paint
This can be found at electronics parts stores. It's usually used to add RF shielding to plastic cases. We will be using it because it's electrically conductive.
-1/4" copper tape used for circuit board repair (optional)
If conductive paint can't be found, this may be a possible substitute. It may be a good idea to get some anyway as a way to repair any future scratches or chips in the conductive paint.
-Spray Paint
I used Krylon Fusion For Plastic because it sticks to almost anything, doesn't require a primer and has a nice finish.
-10mm LEDs in quantities and colors of choice
I used 20 LEDs of each Red, Green, Blue, Yellow and White. These can be bought online.
-330 Ohm surface-mount resistors
Get one for each 2.4 Volt LED (Typically red, orange, yellow and sometimes green LEDs are 2.4 Volts). The 3.6 Volt LEDs (typically blue, white, UV and true green) do not require resistors.
-One 4.5 Volt, 500 milliamp AC power supply
By using AC, the polarity of the LEDs won't matter. They will light up whichever way they are played onto the grid. This also reduces power consumption because the LEDs will run at a 50% duty cycle.
-1/8" diameter x 1/16" NdFeB Nickel plated disc magnets
Get two for each LED. These can be found online.
-1/4" diameter x 1/16" NdFeB Nickel plated disc magnets
I used six - two for attaching the power source to the fridge, and four more for making magnetic jumper wires to bridge the gap between the door and the side of the fridge.
-5 minute epoxy
Get the kind that you mix from clear and yellow tubes.
-Masking tape
-1/4" Quilter's tape
This is just masking tape but 1/4 inch wide, the thinnest tape I could find. You can find this in craft stores. Ideally, you want tape that is just slightly wider than the diameter of the magnets used on the LEDs.
-Needle-nose pliers
-Small wire cutters or fingernail clippers
-Soldering iron or gun
-Wire wrapping tool or other tool with a flat round 1/8" diameter tip
It's really the 1/8" diameter we're going to use so you could use a grinded down dollar store screwdriver if that's what's available.
-X-acto knife
-Wooden toothpick
-The cap from a cheap pen
This is primarily for holding LEDs in place while you work on them.

Someone got any idea? I thought about adding a second magnet to every pole, but on one side i don't have enough magnets left (and since i got them from hongkong it would take about one month to get new ones), and second i would fear that i get a short cuircit when the second magnets attract themselfes...
-One 4.5 Volt, 500 milliamp AC power supply
By using AC, the polarity of the LEDs won't matter. They will light up whichever way they are played onto the grid. This also reduces power consumption because the LEDs will run at a 50% duty cycle.
I have a question: Can the LEDs work under AC power?
LED's can be killed if the reverse voltage...ie the voltage that the LED see's if you connect it back to front to a DC supply...typically about 6v
To explain it another way, connect an LED to a variable supply, and turn the power up to 2 or 3 volts, what ever its 'forward max voltage is, it will light, turn up the DC to say six volts, its now dead!
take a similar LED and connect it the reverse way around, it wont light, its safe at 3 volts, 4 volts, 5 and maybe a bit higher...then it will DIE.
so if you feed a LED with AC, the AC has to be NO higher then the forward voltage of the LED
I hope i explained that?
Or look here:-
RS components are for commercial users and as a result you pay a very high price for the technical backup, please look elsewhere, look at the spec of the RS stuff, and even find out the manufacturer, then look at the manufacturers website, see if there is a stockist.
Another point to realise, is one product is silver based, and can carry current, another is graphite based and only carries voltage, as its resistive. This is the usual stuff you get with RFI based coatings..it WONT carry current very far to light LED's
If you look at MG chemicals, they supply to companies who ship to the UK, at rates better then RS
Any other help i can give, please ask.
Did you use lead-free solder? (I would assume so, since they are goingto be around food and children)
that is the power transformer that i used in my power supply, it is 5Volts @ 5Amps, and will give you enough power, but you have to bring down the voltage a lil, cuz like sockmaster said, the circuit acts as a resister in his, and in mine [i am useing copper tape] i installed a big resister comeing off of the power supply going onto the grid. you could of course just put a surface mounted resisted on every led, and then the 5V power supply would be fine.

We stayed for 4 days at the end of a trip round SE Asia. The beach was idyllic and the snorkelling trips we took with the hotel were brilliant fun. It was a quiet resort but then when we went the whole island seemed quite quiet. The restaurant had a lovely a la carte menu and we couldn't find anything... More

There are four forms of carpet maintenance. They are preventative cleaning, interim cleaning, restorative cleaning and spot removal.
The most overlooked part of carpet cleaning is called preventative cleaning.
What this revolves around is the ability of the home or facility to keep the soil outside the building or at least at the entry doorways.
If the soil gets past the front doors then it becomes difficult to keep the place clean. In the winter this may often revolve around the dreaded slush or even worse yet - salt! - on the carpets.
It is extremely difficult to remove salt with any true green method of carpet cleaning method except for rinsing with straight water. This method can take dozens of attempts and still may not be successful.
Here are a handful of steps that are vital in maintaining a good appearance to your carpets at the buildings entryways during the winter:
- Keep the salt swept away from the doorways when there is no ice or snow.
- Keep sand, soil and settlement off of tires in parking areas swept up daily.
- Have large capture mats at all entries.
- Keep these capture mats clean. If they get slushy vacuum up the slush immediately with a wet-dry vacuum. If it's a bad winter you may have to do this several times a day.
- Clean visibly soiled area frequently. This may mean that the carpet has to be cleaned daily at high traffic entrances.
- Vacuum carpets in all directions. The dry particulate matter comes out much easier when its dry. Vacuuming in strokes north-south, east-west, south-north and then west to east will make a huge difference in the amount of soil removed from the carpet.
- Speed dry carpet matting. A huge percentage of installed carpet matting is made of olefin. This olefin fiber wicks soils quickly. Speed drying will allow for salty moisture to dry and be either vacuumed out or padded out with an acid rinse.
The fundamental element of winter carpet maintenance is preventative cleaning. A thoroughly thought out carpet maintenance plan requires constant inspection. This may require looking at the carpet before and after the cleaning. You may need to vary the amounts of water employed and the chemistries used in cleaning. Never forget that salty slush is much easier to remove with a wet/dry vac than after it has hardened.

James Wilbur Bassett, Sr. PhD
Posted: Mon 9:50 AM, Nov 19, 2012
Funeral Home:
Memorial Funeral Chapel
July 22, 1923 - November 12, 2012
James Wilbur Bassett was born in Greenville, Texas on July 22, 1923. He left this world to join the God he loved on Monday, November 12, 2012. He was surrounded by family at his home of 50 years in College Station, Texas. He was the son of the late James W. and Pansy Lee Bassett.
There will be a memorial service at 11 a.m. on Saturday, November 24, 2012 at Peace Lutheran Church.
Jim grew up in Amarillo, Texas where he graduated from Amarillo High School at the age of 16. He spent two years at Austin College in Sherman, Texas before transferring to Texas A&M College in 1942. He served in the Navy from 1943 to 1946. While stationed in Austin, Texas with the V12 Navy College Training Program he ran on the University of Texas Cross Country Team. Toward the end of his Navy career he met the love of his life, Mary Christine McIntosh. After he finished his Navy commitment, he returned to Texas A&M and finished his bachelor's degree in Animal Science in July of 1948. He joined the Agricultural Extension Service in Mena, Arkansas.
Jim and Mary were married on October 21, 1949 at the First Southern Presbyterian Church in Austin. They lived in Mena, Arkansas for a year, after which Jim began work on his Master's degree in Animal Science at the University of Wyoming in Laramie. While there, James Jr. was born. In 1951, the family moved to Bozeman, Montana where Jim completed his Master's Degree and worked in the wool department of Montana State College. During this time, the busy couple had five more children. In 1962 Jim continued work on his PhD at Texas A&M; he accepted a permanent position with the Department of Animal Science in 1963. He completed his PhD in 1965.
Jim coached many national championship wool judging teams while at Montana State and Texas A&M. He was the head of the Sheep and Goat Division for the Texas A&M University Animal Science Department and was one of the world's most respected experts in the study and production of wool and mohair fibers. During his tenure at Texas A&M, he traveled to Botswana, Tanzania, South Africa, Tunisia, Peru, China, and many other places to consult, lecture, and work with local sheep and goat farmers. Jim retired from Texas A&M in 1987 and was honored with the title of Professor Emeritus. He loved teaching, and he returned twice after his retirement to teach sheep and goat courses.
Jim loved his family, loved his church, loved to run, loved to teach, and loved to travel. Jim was an elder at the First Presbyterian Church in Bozeman, a deacon and elder at A&M Presbyterian Church in College Station, and a charter member and treasurer of Peace Lutheran Church in College Station. He ran 14 marathons, his first at the age of 50. Among his marathons were the New York, Boston, San Francisco, Galveston, Houston, Fort Worth, and three at Texas A&M. He continued to run until his legs couldn't run anymore. His trips with his beloved Mary took them to England and Scotland, Germany, Poland, Canada, and many other places, including many trips to their beloved Fort Davis, Texas where the couple has a permanent home.
At the age of 80, he fulfilled a dream he had for years – he skydived! Many family members watched as he jumped out of a small plane and floated toward Coulter Field.
Jim has donated his body to the Texas A&M Medical School for use in medical education and research.
Jim was preceded in death by his grandson, Joshua Lee Tackett.
Jim is survived by his wife Mary, his children Jamie and Jeanie Bassett, Jayne and Charlie Jenkins, Martha Tackett, John and Bridget Bassett all of College Station, Peter and Jill Bassett of New Braunfels, Paul and Jane Bassett of Austin, 19 grandchildren, 14 great grandchildren, his brother Clarence Bassett of Austin and his brother and sister-in-law, Bill and Betty Bassett of Uvalde.
In lieu of flowers, the family asks that donations be made to Hospice Brazos Valley, Bloys Campmeeting Association or the Volunteer Fire Department of Ft. Davis, Texas. A special thanks is given for the loving care of Crestview Home Health and the special workers from Hospice Brazos Valley – Emily, Sam, and Sam.
