Danny Dunagan won the race for Gainesville's first elected mayor in Tuesday's municipal election.
The numbers reported by the Hall County Elections Office have the former council member and mayor with 62 percent of the vote, which would avoid a Dec. 3 runoff. Trailing were Rose Johnson, Debra Harkrider and Charles Alvarez.
The Elections Office website currently shows all precincts reporting. Earlier, an error in reporting by the Elections Office caused results on its website to show as 100 percent of precincts reporting when not all the votes had been counted.
In Flowery Branch, incumbent mayor Mike Miller and City Council members Tara Richards and Fred Richards won their races.
In Clermont, Lynn Adams and Kristi Crumpton won the two at-large seats on the Town Council in a five-person field.

In Search of a New Political Language
In the first round of the 2012 presidential election, more than thirty-nine percent of Egyptians voted for candidates representing neither the Muslim Brotherhood nor former President Hosni Mubarak's regime. The combined vote of Hamdeen Sabbahi and Abdel Moneim Abouel Fotouh, the biggest winners in this category, together with those of leftist candidates Khaled Ali and Abul Ezz al-Hariry, is substantially more than those who voted for Mohamed Morsy or for both Ahmed Shafiq and Amr Moussa combined. Some have argued that this sector of the electorate comprises a "third bloc"—a political force representing the "revolutionary" alternative to the game of "Islamists vs. the Mubarak security apparatus" that paralyzed Egyptian politics for decades.
These voters oppose both political Islam and the "deep state" which maintains the structure of the Mubarak regime. But, they do not automatically constitute a forward-looking political alternative with a common program. In the best of circumstances, it would have been difficult to forge such a program in the less than a year and a half since the fall of Hosni Mubarak.
The Supreme Council of the Armed Forces' mismanagement of the post-Mubarak transition made this even more difficult. Like the Mubarak regime, the SCAF incited sectarian tensions. Electing the first Parliament (now ruled unconstitutional) by a combination of party lists and individual candidacies favored established, previously organized forces. Attempting to elect a parliament and a president before writing a new constitution postponed the most important political debates.
But not all the obstacles to building a united, forward-looking political force were due to mismanagement of the transitional process. After sixty-years of autocracy, many Egyptians are unfamiliar with ways of discussing politics that supersede the limits of the "Islamists vs. security apparatus" framework. Sabbahi and Abouel Fotouh have been political activists since the 1970s. They have had enough time to formulate some serious ideas about Egypt's problems. But many of their statements have been vague or repeated stale, out-of-date formulas.
Many Nasserists and leftists cling to what they imagine are immutable principles (al-thawabit) and resist opening the political field to new ideas. Re-nationalizing recently privatized enterprises, for example, may address some egregious cases of corruption and abuse of workers. But this alone will not increase capital investment, productivity, and competitiveness in industry or provide secure jobs at a living wage for working people and young graduates, or overhaul the dysfunctional educational system. These are the most urgent problems Egypt faces. Detailed proposals to address these issues were not centerpieces of the campaigns of any of the most popular presidential candidates.
These candidates also failed to address exactly how respect for Islam would be harmonized with liberal principles. How would a democratic Islamic outlook ensure individual rights — freedom to worship, not worship or convert, as well as freedom of speech, press, expression and scholarship? Is there an Islamic program for guaranteeing and promoting women's right to fully participate in all aspects of society on an equal basis with men?
Many opponents of the Mubarak regime had a great deal to say about foreign policy issues such as the alliance with the United States and Israel and the 2003 invasion of Iraq. But they rarely spoke frankly about how to address the regional and international constraints Egypt faces. Does an anti-imperialist foreign policy in the 21st century mean the same thing it did in the 1950s and 1960s?
While foreign policy is not unimportant, it was not at the top of the agenda of the millions of workers who engaged in strikes or other protest actions during the decade and a half before Mubarak's ouster. Intellectuals belatedly discovered the workers' movement after the December 2006 strike at the Ghazl al-Mahalla textile factory, and Islamists were largely absent. Although a few heroic intellectuals devoted themselves to workers' issues, there was no concerted campaign to link up with the labor movement. This would have required intellectuals to approach workers with respect and humility and to ask for workers' opinions before offering their own. It would have required returning again and again and keeping in touch even when nothing dramatic was happening.
A successful third bloc of democratic Islamists, secular liberals, and leftists would need to address such issues by inventing a new language and style of politics that awakens Egypt from the nightmare of the past that weighs down on the brains of the living.

Make-Up and Hair Awards: Marriage Proposal Upstages Johnny Depp
Francesca Bacardi and Variety
February 16, 2014
While the attention was on Johnny Depp and other honorees for the evening, the 11th Make-Up Artists and Hair Style Guild Awards paused for an onstage marriage proposal between two young men. When host Tom Arnold paused for a "special moment," a video of Chris Heller dancing and singing to Katy Perry's "Teenage Dream" played on the big screen. Afterwards Heller got down on one knee and propose to his boyfriend of four years, Ryan Sirois, 30. Neither were...

Different make-up strategies for school days lost to cold
By Vikki Ortiz Healy, Tribune reporter
January 13, 2014
Last week's bitter cold canceled the same two days of school for students across the Chicago area. But when those days will be made up will vary, as some school districts move away from tacking on days in June. "We were hearing from teachers and hearing from students saying, 'Please, we wish we had more time to prepare for our (semester) finals,'" said Jim Szczepaniak, spokesman for Niles District 219. District 219 officials opted to have students come to school...
Renovated Forest Park to open soon
By Denys Bucksten, Special to the Tribune
June 16, 2014
Lake Forest's $4 million Forest Park makeover remains in construction mode as a Memorial Day deadline passed without much park for the public to view or visit. The historic park, just east of Lake and Deerpath roads at the lakefront, has been closed since Labor Day 2013. In March, Forest Park Project Board officials expected the park would open on a limited basis by Memorial Day. Wet weather delayed early spring construction, said project treasurer Peter Cherry, but heavy equipment should be...

She glides on stage a designer's vision of a gypsy: Tall, in command and attired in black lace, copper-colored cape and satiny, feather-sprouting turban. From her mouth comes the music of Eartha Kitt, purring, "I don't want to be alone without my baby." Not to worry. She is anything but alone, cheered by an adoring crowd at the Baton Lounge on Clark Street, where the audience is in on the secret: Tasha Long, all satin, lace and hauteur, is a man. "Is mine a comfortable life?

Anthony Rizzo's walk-off homer give Cubs victory
By Fred Mitchell, Chicago Tribune reporter
June 6, 2014
There's no place quite like home for the Cubs, who won their fourth straight at Wrigley Field and improved to 14-13 in the Friendly Confines on Friday. It took 4 hours, 2 minutes and 13-innings of delayed satisfaction before Anthony Rizzo lofted a two-run, walk-off homer for a 5-3 victory over the upstart Marlins. "Put good swings on balls and things happen," said Rizzo, who gave the Cubs their second walk-off victory of the week with his 12th home run. He drove in four runs...

Starlin Castro part of problem and solution
By Mark Gonzales, Chicago Tribune reporter
June 4, 2014
The Cubs haven't ruled out using Justin Grimm and Neil Ramirez as starting pitchers in the future. Considering how Jake Arrieta and Edwin Jackson have labored the last two nights, the possibility of converting Grimm and Ramirez can't happen soon enough. Jackson lasted only five innings Wednesday night, thanks largely to five walks that helped add up to 110 pitches. He was hurt when Starlin Castro's error led to three runs in the first, but the shortstop was able to atone for...
Silk district
By Ruth Johnsen
August 28, 2004
The new spray-on stockings for women aren't as avant-garde as you might think. We had "leg make-up" during World War II because all silk was being used to make parachutes. Real silk stockings (no nylon yet) were almost impossible to buy, so we carefully smeared (no aerosol cans yet) the flesh-colored goop on our legs. But we had the added task of drawing a nice, straight line down the backs of our legs because in those days, all real stockings had seams.
Revival of men's short shorts reveals body hang-ups

It wasn't that long ago that the American male was totally cool with his legs. From Larry Bird to "Magnum P.I. ", men of the '70s and '80s showed more thigh than a bucket of KFC, wearing shorts whose inseams were about the length of a pinkie. Seems weird these days, right? Maybe even a little horrifying? Well then, I suggest you move to the fainting couch before continuing to the next paragraph: Short shorts for men are coming back. So says the Wall Street Journal,...
Speed Or Stupidity

In response to Stephen Chapman's column "Finding a cure for motorists` addiction to speed" (March 14): Sorry, but speed doesn`t kill, people do. There is a much more dangerous killer on the roads than speed. It's called stupidity! What else would you call putting on eye make-up, shaving or reading the newspaper while driving on Chicago's busy expressways? I`d much rather drive with someone going 75 m.p.h. and paying attention than someone going 55 m.p.h. and trying to floss their teeth.

Human biology

A few years ago, Protomartyr singer Joe Casey was a theater doorman in his 30s with a faded English degree and lots of time on his hands. "When you have a job where you can be replaced at any time by a piece of wood, your mind wanders," he says. "And I thought about what it would be like to be in a rock band. " Casey had never sung in a band before when he struck up a relationship with one of the patrons he met outside the theater in Detroit: Greg Ahee, who had attended the same high school...

Albania readies power imports to make up for drought
Benet Koleka and Reuters
April 11, 2014
TIRANA (Reuters) - Albania is working to arrange the import of electricity worth up to 90 million euros ($124.93 million) to make up for the loss of domestic output caused by a drought, officials said on Friday. The Balkan state, which relies almost entirely on hydro power plant to produce electricity, has seen water flows to its power stations cut by 40 percent in another year of little rain. Finance Minister Shkelqim Cani said this year's rainfall and snow, below the...

Just going on to this topic from starting i think with today its end envato's birthday celebration, as a buyer i am 100% happy with envato offer but as author i am not 100% happy with 70% as my sales went down, as its purely a luck game and i am unable to take much advantage of 70% offer.
p.s : when i heard abt 70% author commission i was flying and thought i can earn 10 days money in 3 days, but now i am on earth.

Sorry to say, but I didn't like Design Essentials Natural AT ALL!
Well...here's my honest review on the new natural hair line from Designs Essential. I tried it the other day for the first time with hopes of loving it (this was while I was waiting for my now FAV, Kinky Curly Curling Cream and Knot Today!)...and I must be honest...hated it!
Here's why: On clean hair, following the instructions to the tee....I applied the DE Defining Creme Gel...it felt like I was putting lotion on my hair that never absorbed. I washed it out and tried the stretching cream...same results. I have it back in the box and returning tomorrow. So final score...O. Only because it didn't define curls and felt more like Jergen's lotion on my hair. Sorry...no go.
I'm with the previous poster. Did you use their conditioner and hair lotion? Sometimes products work best as a "system". On the style guides, it suggests that you add their moisturizing hair lotion before applying their style products. Maybe that's where you went wrong, because those two are just stylers. Anytime I use a styler like those, I always add some type of leave in conditioner because most stylers like those are not moisturizing enough alone.
I just ordered these products on Monday, but haven't received them yet. I was having high hopes for them also, but we shall see. :dontknow:
UPS just dropped off my package. I will let you know how it goes. :icon_smile:
@sassywillow I'm sorry for the delay. I forgot to post my experiences on this thread. I did post my results on the DE Natural and October Hits and Misses thread on the 4a forum. I'm going to have to agree with the OP, this whole line left me with dry hair with the exception of the curl stretching cream which left me with semi moisturized hair. I know you was specifically interested in the conditioner and leave in, but they didn't moisturize my hair at all and that says alot because my hair is rarely dry unless I'm doing a henna treatment. I tried the products twice, so I think I gave them a fair chance before writing them off. I can say they did give pretty good definition, though, but not worth the dry feeling I was getting. I'm going to put them on the swap board if you are interested. HTH.
Design Essentials Natural
I had the same outcome with the DE Natural products. I tried the entire system twice and my hair felt dry after use. I also don't like the smell of the products. When my hair was fully relaxed (transitioning now) I always used DE products, so I am disappointed with the Natural line.
I love this website. I was going to purchase the Design Essentials but I wanted to see if anyone else had tried it yet and if so, what they thought of the products. I trust you ladies so I will not be purchasing this although the pics look great I won't sacrifice soft, moisturized hair. Thanks for the review. :sad:
Guinea Pig
Hi Ladies,
I recently served as a guinea pig for a stylist who got the Defining Cream Gel into his salon. After sitting under the dryer, it gave me "ribbon curls" like they said but it was really crunchy. He put it in pretty thick just like it instructed in the picture but it was waaaaay too much. I went home, rinsed about half of it out and then mixed in my Shea Moisture Curl Enhancing Smoothie. SO much better! I really like it. I think the trick is to use more moisture than gel. He put enough in my hair to last me a week! I am curious to use the stretching cream as I am always complaining about shrinkage. I imagine if the shrinking cream doesn't have hold and has a good amount of moisture, it may work well with a little bit of the cream gel.
hmm, sounds like the creme gel isn't that moisturizing. oh well. i have and like the stretch cream for 2 strand twists but i'm looking for a gel for wash and gos.
notes from a stylist
I am an avid user of design essentials products and was sceptical of the natural line at first....... but what everyone must understand is that gel is gel and gel and gel don't moisturize ur hair. so i would use a moisture with the gel. u will get a better outcome. but unfortunately natural hair has a mind of its own so good luck searching for that special product
I haven't tried their gel but their moisturizer is crap. I have no interest in trying anything else from this line.

Thoughts For 2014
Today is the first Monday of 2014 and for many people in Japan, including myself, it's the first working day of the year.
This will be a busy week. Tomorrow, a team of electricians and tradespeople descend on my studio to install new wiring, so all my non-Japanese audio equipment can work properly. Then, on Thursday, the acoustic design specialists come in and install the sonic treatments to improve the sound of the studio and setup some custom made power balancers I'll be using to run all the studio's gear.
In this and many other ways I'm starting the year by picking up where I left off in 2013. In fact, there's a theme running through most of my plans for January and February, a kind of alternative New Year's Resolution; finish in 2014 what I started in 2013.
After all, 2013 was a year of disruption, after relocating from Singapore to Tokyo, or to use a football cliche, it was a game of two halves. The first, was one of the most creatively productive seasons I've had in years. The second, all about the messy everyday reality of adjusting to life in a new town, complete with plenty of disruptions and new experiences.
Right now, I'm feeling thrilled about living here in Tokyo and enjoying the cool winter weather. I'm loving the anonymity that comes with being in a new city, the freedom of having near complete control of my schedule and the ability to dream broadly and perhaps outrageously about what shape the rest of the year might take.
And, I hope, wherever you find yourself right now, in the depths of winter, the searing heat of summer, or somewhere in between (yes, that's you Hong Kong and Singapore), you find a little time this week to dream about where your work can take you this year, or how you can find more meaning in what you do with your days.

Does family structure matter? I have answered this question before and certainly from an economic point there is no doubt that two parent households produce better economic security for the children and even the woman. In the Washington Post, a piece showed yet another reason for encouraging two parent households; women are safer in marriage from physical abuse than in either co-habiting relations or going from one boy friend to another. There is actually less domestic violence in a marriage than in other types of male-female relationships.
Bradford Wilcox and Robin Wilson observed, "The bottom line is this: Married women are notably safer than their unmarried peers. Girls raised in a home with their married father are markedly less likely to be abused or assaulted than children living without their own father."
Fourth National Incidence Study of Child Abuse and Neglect showed that children are more likely to be abused when they live in homes separated from their biological father and this includes when their mother is cohabiting with unmarried boyfriends. Abuse of children within households living with unmarried partners are more than twelve fold than within two married biological parents.
A study in the Medical journal Pediatrics showed that children living in households with unrelated adults were nearly 50 times more likely to die as result of inflicted injures than children with two biological parents. With the emphasis on violence committed on women and children; the one solution not often looked at is reviewing the importance of family. Just as children in two parent households are less likely to live in poverty, children living in two parent households are safer from physical violence.
As we engage in a massive experiment in redefining marriage, it might be beneficial to look at what the science actually says. And the science is clear: Children are better off in two parent households!

Citation: Schetelig, M.A., Wimmer, E.A. 2011. Insect transgenesis and the sterile insect technique. Book Chapter. II(2):169-194. Interpretive Summary: The ability to create transgenic strains of economically and medically important insect species has the potential to greatly enhance our ability to improve existing biological control methods and develop more novel means of control, which is a major goal at the Center for Medical, Agricultural and Veterinary Entomology, USDA, Agricultural Research Service, Gainesville, FL. The technologies explained and discussed here are important to establish and evaluate transgenic systems for environmental-friendly biological control. In particular, methods for gene identification, modification, evaluation and their subsequent use within transgenic systems are discussed. Recent development in generating and testing transgenic insects for the environmental-friendly Sterile Insect Technique are outlined. Transgenic technology is able to improve several aspects of biological control on its own and combined with other control methods in an integrated pest management (IPM). The discussion on insect transgenesis and its applications shows the prospects of transgenic insects from understanding the biology of the insects to the generation of effective and safe transgenic technology. Ecological and ethical considerations allow for a comprehensive view on insect transgenesis.
Technical Abstract: The establishment of broadly applicable insect transgenesis systems will enable the analyses of gene function in diverse insect species. This will greatly increase our understanding of diverse aspects of biology so far not functionally addressable. Moreover, insect transgenesis will provide novel strategies for insect pest management and the means to impair transmission of pathogens by human disease vectors. Especially the Sterile Insect Technique (SIT) might be improved by the use of transgenic approaches. SIT represents an effective and ecologically safe method for area-wide pest control that reduces the pest population by mass release of sterilized organisms, leading to infertile matings and in consequence to a decline of the pest population. Although SIT is already successfully applied for some species, each of its steps (mass-rearing, sex-separation for male-only releases, sterilization, and marking for monitoring) can be improved biotechnologically to optimize the efficiency and to reduce the costs of ongoing programs or to transfer this effective technique to a wider range of species. However, this powerful transgenic technology must be applied with great care to avoid harm to our environment.

Is Selena Gomez Doing Cocaine? Let's Hope Not...
There's an awful rumor going around right now, that claims that Selena Gomez may be getting into a really awful addiction.
And the worst part, is that it could potentially be with on and off boyfriend Justin Bieber.
Someone at a night club claims to have recently filmed the dynamic duo snorting cocaine. And that they are currently shopping that video footage around for the best suitor to release it to the public.
If this is true, it could potentially ruin the already-washed careers of both Bieber and Gomez.
I'm really disappointed in Selena in general for getting back together with Bieber. If this ends up happening, it'll only be bad karma.
Check out the video below for more details.

UPDATE: ESPN's Howard Bryant pleaded not guilty to charges of domestic assault and battery, assault and battery on a police officer and resisting arrest in Greenfield District Court in Greenfield, Massachusetts on Monday. Bryant, his wife Veronique Bryant and his attorney took aim at the Massachusetts State Police two days after they handcuffed and arrested him in front of his 6-year old son in Buckland, Mass.
Bryant said police threatened to taser him in front of his wife and son. His attorney says the African-American sportswriter, author and TV personality is a victim of racial profiling. Byant is black. His wife is white.
"I believe that witnesses saw things through the lens of race and if it were a Caucasian male they wouldn't have blinked at what they saw," said Bryant's attorney Buz Eisenberg.
Bryant released a statement saying he was saddened about Saturday's incident in Buckland, a town of about 2,500 in Western Massachusetts:
"I am so sad today. I am sad today because this attack on me by the Massachusetts State Police and the Buckland Police has made it necessary for me to defend untrue allegations and repair my reputation when one conversation with either Veronique or with me would have diffused the entire situation. Instead, the police chose aggression first over dialogue, threatened to taser me whenever I tried to speak, and all in front of my 6-year-old son. As a result, I have to defend a charge that I attacked both the woman I love and the police when nothing could be further from the truth."
His wife Veronique Bryant added in a statement: "This is all so unfair. There was no investigation. The police made assumptions about my husband that weren't true. I was never abused or in fear of Howard on that day or any other day. I wasn't running from him or trying to get away from him. The police weren't listening to me and they attacked him with violence with our 6-year-old watching."
Bryant lives in Ashfield, about six miles south of Buckland. He joined ESPN in 2007. "We are gathering information about it," said ESPN spokesman Josh Krulewitz.
Contributing: Associated Press.
ESPN's Howard Bryant was arrested for domestic assault and battery, assault and battery on a police officer and resisting arrest on Saturday while a 6-year old youngster watched from the back seat of his SUV, according to the Massachusetts State Police.
Bryant, a 42-year old senior writer for ESPN and ESPN The Magazine, was booked Saturday at 12:14 p.m after the altercation with a 42-year old woman and police outside a pizza parlor in Buckland, Mass., said David Procopio, a spokesman for the state police on Monday.
Bryant posted $5,000 bail and is due to be arraigned at Greenfield District Court Monday. Police checked on the 6-year old boy at the scene and he appeared to be fine, Procopio said.
The trouble started, Procopio said, when state police received multiple calls from witnesses saying a man had put his hands on a woman's neck, pushed her against a parked vehicle and pinned her there.
Authorities responded within two minutes, he said. When a state trooper asked Bryant to put his hands behind his back, he refused, Procopio said. Bryant resisted arrest and struck one officer in the chest with his elbow, he said. Eventually, the state trooper, a Massachusetts state police sergeant and two local police officers subdued Bryant with an "armlock" and placed him chest down on the hood of his car, he said.
Bryant was handcuffed, read his Miranda rights and taken to the Shelburne Falls state police barracks where five witnesses gave statements, said Procopio. While at the barracks, Bryant complained about "pain" in his left cheek and right shoulder. He declined medical attention and advised the the state troopers he did not wish to speak to them further.
The victim of the alleged assault was "reluctant" to answer questions, said Procopio. She maintained she had been in a "verbal", not physical altercation with Bryant. When police asked her if it became "physical," she declined to answer, he said. State prosecutors can still try Bryant on domestic violence charges even if she declines to cooperate, Procopio said. Police have statements from five witnesses, he added.
Bryant is a frequent panelist on ESPN's The Sports Reporters. He's the author of Shut Out: A Story of Race and Baseball in Boston and Juicing the Game: Drugs, Power and the Fight for the Soul of Major League Baseball.
