In a long-awaited decision, a federal appeals court today declared that California's ban on same-sex marriage is unconstitutional.
The 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals ruled 2-1 that a lower court judge correctly interpreted the U.S. Constitution and Supreme Court precedents when he declared in 2010 that Proposition 8 was a violation of the civil rights of gay and lesbian people.
The military's infamous "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" policy has been repealed for over four months, outlawing exclusion and discrimination against LGBT populations in the military service. When seeking housing, however, LGBT populations across the country still face arbitrary prejudices and inequality.
That's why on Jan. 28, Shaun Donovan, U.S. Housing and Urban Development Secretary, spoke to nearly 3,000 LGBT rights advocates at the National Gay and Lesbian Task Force's 24th National Conference on LGBT Equality: Creating Change in Baltimore, Md., announcing a new policy to combat discrimination against LGBT people in federally supported housing programs.
Mitt Romney won a sizable victory in Tuesday's Florida primary, capturing 46.4 percent of the vote to Newt Gingrich's 31.9 percent. In all, Romney got 240,548 more votes than the ex-House Speaker.
"The size and breadth of Romney's win provide the first real evidence that he has the potential to coalesce a party that has been deeply split …" wrote Karen Tumulty in an analysis for The Washington Post.
Newt Gingrich made the rounds of some Sunday morning TV political talk shows and made it clear he wouldn't drop out of the contest for the Republican presidential nomination even if he lost Tuesday's primary in Florida.
Gingrich says he will remain in the race until the GOP's convention, which begins Aug. 27 in Tampa, Fla. Meanwhile, he urged Rick Santorum to drop out, so conservatives can consolidate around one candidate to beat moderate Mitt Romney.
The Gay and Lesbian Community Center of Greater Cincinnati recently held its annual membership meeting and elected leaders for 2012.
Rusty Lockett and John Maddux were elected to another term as board president and vice president, respectively. Lockett formerly served as the center's clerk before first being elected president in early 2010. Also, he has served as event chairman for Pride Night at Kings Island in September and is convener of the local LGBT Episcopal worship group, called Integrity.
Several other municipal court judges either declined comment or said they would consider the point Stockdale makes in his letter if it is raised during the hearings.
Attorneys for the protesters said they intend to do just that. They already have asked judges to dismiss the charges on grounds the park board rules violate the free speech rights of the protesters.
They say Stockdale's letter raises another weakness in the city's case against their clients.
"Whether it's a violation of the First Amendment or an over-reach by the park board, they are clearly relevant questions," said Rob Linneman, an attorney for the protesters.
It's been a wild couple of days in local politics, with most of the names on East Side yard signs losing in Tuesday's City Council election. The newbies: Democrats P.G. Sittenfeld, Yvette Simpson and Chris Seelbach. The new Council will include only one Republican, Charlie Winburn, although Chris Smitherman acts like he's from all sorts of political parties. For the first time ever, the Council will be a majority African American, and Seelbach's win marks the first election of an openly gay candidate to Council.
Four members of the conservative majority that spent most of last year either blocking the mayor's initiatives or Twittering — Chris Bortz, Leslie Ghiz, Amy Murray and Wayne Lippert — were ousted, paving the way for Mayor Mallory and the seven Democrats on council to things they want to do. Congratulations "environmentalists and people who use health clinics!"
With a government shutdown looming if Congress can't figure out a spending plan, some say the mopes aren't even close to agreeing on the smaller details.

Just a normal girls 6th, 7th, and 8th grade year...the year isn't that normal, actually.
Where do i start? There's a lot of places i could, but i think i'll start when i met Stephanie. Were not friends anymore though. But we'll get to that.
Chapter 1
I slowly walked into 7th period, one of my advanced classes, Reading. I missed the first day or school yesterday because of a stupid mix-up. I felt my cheeks get red, it looked like everyone was staring at me. "Hi, Mrs.Johnson?" I said "I wasn't here yesterday, and...yeah" "Go sit over there by Stephanie" she said pointing to a girl with short brown hair with boy shoes and an Aeropostale shirt on. I walked over and sat across from her. She was in deep conversation with a boy next to her. Then she turned to me. "Hi" she giggled. I smiled "Hi" i said quietly "What's your name?" "Miranda" I said. Mrs. Johnson explained what we were supposed to do, it was a group thing. Soon after that me and Stephanie were best friends. The boy who sat next to her, Zac, was nice too.
The next day me and Stephanie walked to gym together and i met her other friends, Bella, Gabby,Jamie, Danny,and Paris. Me and Jamie became friendly first. Jamie was a pretty Asian girl with long dark brown hair. She liked to read, like me. Next, the story we love to tell, me and Bella became friends. She was poking Gabby and accidentaly poked me, i poked back. Therefore, my new buddy. But things happened, i was never friends with Paris or Gabby. And Stephanie got dragged in by popularity. But this isn't my story, this is just how it began.

Fear not Thrashers fans. You have a new beat writer.
Allow me to introduce myself. My name is Chris Vivlamore and I will be your connection to the Thrashers. Let me tell you a little bit about myself.
I have been at the AJC for more than six years. For the last five years I have been the Pro Sports Editor at the paper, overseeing coverage of the Thrashers, Hawks, Braves, Falcons and a little golf now and then. That means at one time I supervised former Thrashers beat writers Mike Knobler, Craig Custance and John Manasso – names you might be familiar with.
I am originally from upstate New York. West Point and the United States Military Academy would be the nearest landmark. My parents grew up farther north, 15 miles south of the Canadian border – one town over from Zach Bogosian's hometown. So, I grew up playing a lot of pond hockey where old couch cushions served as goalie pads. I also spent more than one Thanksgiving morning at 5 a.m. renting out the local civic center for games. When there was no ice, I spent many a Saturday playing street hockey. That would be where I earned the nickname "Viv the Sieve," presumably for my less-than-adequate goaltending abilities.
I was around for the New York Islanders' Drive for Five era, watching the likes of Mike Bossy. However, I adopted the New Jersey Devils when they moved from Colorado, mostly because the Meadowlands arena was a mere hour south (58 minutes in a friend's Chevy Chevelle) and tickets were easy to come by. I once had to move seats because the goal judge (remember them?) was blocking our view.
Before moving to Atlanta, I worked in the Philadelphia market for nine years. I was around for the Flyers and Eric Lindros' Stanley Cup Final run in 1997. That would be when the infamous "choking situation" led to a sweep by the Detroit Red Wings.
I am married to wife Barbara and we have a 12-year old daughter Emma. My wife's one connection to hockey is that while in college she was once thrown out of Herb Brooks' seats at a University of Minnesota hockey game – by Brooks himself.
Enough of my background, let's look forward. We have the draft coming up in June. Oh, and there is that little matter of what will happen with Ilya Kovalchuk.
I will continue to bring you a mix of coverage – news when I get it, features on the players and hockey trends. I will ask the tough questions when needed. My priority is you the reader and providing as much insight as I can.
Also, I want to hear from you. I will make it a priority to return to the blog to answer questions. Please let me know your ideas and opinions.

Welcome aboard tough guy! First on the new beater's blog?
April 21st, 2009
3:05 pm
Welcome to the lunatic fringe. You've seen this one before. Don Waddell stinks. ASG stinks worse. Losing Kovy would be even worse, if not the death knell of the Thrash. But other than that, all is right with the world.
April 21st, 2009

Welcome! Credentials stamped and approved. Good luck.

Congratulations, but don't plan on having a long stay: the typical beat-writer for the Thrashers has lasted, on average, only ONE YEAR.
Hope you have backup plans.
April 21st, 2009

Welcome Chris. Did you every freeze your backyard? Sorry to hear about your time in Philly!! Good to see things have improved since then.

Hey Chris! Welcome!
I'm sure you probably hear this all the time, but you ought to join Twitter. There's a decent Thrashers fanbase there that would love to have you.
April 21st, 2009

WOOHOO! Thanks Chris!!!

3:34 pm
A hearty welcome, Chris! A lot of us check in here most every day so help us pass the long summer, please.
Rawhide just today pointed us to an new bit of info on Ben Wright's Blueland blog. Owner Gearon said on 790 this morning that Kovalchuk has "spoken bluntly" to the owners about the Thrashers needing "more help" and adding "key pieces over the summer." It's quite interesting that Gearon is publicly admitting that.

April 21st, 2009

Welcome Chris… I was about to dog you for saying you're from Upstate NY until you qualified it with Malone. My wife is from Gouverneur, up near Alexandria Bay… she always gets mad when people from Albany say they're from Upstate.

Welcome to the Jungle
April 21st, 2009
3:53 pm
Welcome aboard Chris!
Oberservation from my seat-I took advantage of some free tix to the Hawks playoff game Sunday night. I noticed Levenson and Gearon Jr. throughout the game fistpumping, highfiving, and seemingly really into the entire game courtside. I can only hope the ownership group recognizes for certain the rewards and importance of putting a true winner on the ice for the Thrashers. Based on Gearon Jr. admitting what Kovy said to him personally, reported by Ben Wright on his blog, I hope they finally turn the page and get dead serious about making the team better.
Props to Rawhide for posting this on his blog earlier.
Maybe his comments, along with what the owners short term plans with Waddell are, would possibly be ideas to write your first Thrasher story about Chris?
April 21st, 2009
3:54 pm
Welcome aboard. Sounds like you have more on-ice experience than anyone who has ever covered the Thrashers in their entire history.

Who will Atlanta Pick in the draft?Why
April 21st, 2009
4:12 pm
Wow… Finally… Maybe the Thrashers may actually be mentioned in the Paper…? hmmm?
I mean… they may have some challenges, but in my opinion they still deserve to be mentioned! give them SOME recognition!
I hope you do great man!

Great news that you're the new beat writer, and it's a big plus that you know the game. That's very interesting news about one of the owner's admitting what Kovy has asked for, you wouldn't think he'd admit that unless they planned to follow through on it.
April 21st, 2009
5:24 pm
Here's my question. Any word on Angelo Esposito? Wasn't he hurt?
April 21st, 2009

Great to see with all the changes at the AJC they have put a knowledgable pro on the Thrasher beat. Good luck in your new assignment and here's hoping you get to write Thrasher playoff articles in 2010!
April 21st, 2009
5:58 pm
Welcome aboard, Chris. Sounds like you've got the right creds! And asking "tough questions" to boot! I like it!
April 21st, 2009

Chris – Welcome aboard!!! I'm looking forward to following your coverage during this offseason and through what should be a very good season coming up!
Again…welcome and congrats!

Welcome, Chris!
April 21st, 2009
7:47 pm
Awesome, good to have you aboard… really good to have anyone aboard, I was afraid the AJC would be cutting the Thrashers beat writer position entirely! As far as what I want or expect from your coverage: quotes, quotes, and quotes. Let the players, coaching staff, and organization in general write as much of your columns as you can- opinions and second guessing are great, but concrete answers from the beast itself are best. Again, welcome aboard and good to have you
April 21st, 2009
8:07 pm
Welcome Chris, I hope they aren't going to make you pull double duty; but if so, glad we got someone with some hockey knowledge covering the team.
April 21st, 2009
8:35 pm
Welcome Chris! I'm looking forward to your writing, and thanks for all you've done working with past ajc Thrasher writers.
April 21st, 2009
8:58 pm
Welcome. It's great to have you on board. Hoping to see more thrash news in the AJC. And by the way, how about some Gladiators coverage every once in awhile. They just ended a run in the playoffs and, unless I missed it, there was nothing in print about it. The more hockey the better.
April 21st, 2009
9:56 pm
Welcome aboard. I am glad that we have a beat writer in time to cover the draft. I'd like more Thrash coverage in the paper as most of the hockey community would like. Why not consider an Inside the NHL part of the Sunday Sports section during the season again if you can squeeze it in. If anything, cut out some of the girls sports and HS football in the lower GA counties that nobody in ATL cares about.
April 21st, 2009
9:59 pm
Anyone watching this AWESOME Hurricanes/Devils game? Carolina led, 3-0. But Shanahan scored his 60th career playoff goal, to make it 3-2. And Clarkson has added the equilizer. There's a minute left in regulation. Could it be a 3rd straight overtime? Brodeur's record in overtimes isn't stellar.
Carolina scores!!!! with 1 second left!!
April 21st, 2009
10:03 pm
Officially, it was 0:00.2 left on the clock. Brodeur was miffed.
April 21st, 2009
10:04 pm
Welcome aboard Chris! Suggestions? I would love to see the Thrashers get a bit more "airtime" on the AJC. I think the responsibility of supporting a major pro sports team is in the hands of not only the players and owners, but also the fans and the media.
I grew up in New England but spent alot of time in Glens Falls, New York watching the Adirondack Red Wings in the AHL and watching people race cars on a frozen Lake George!
If you still want to try on your street hockey skills, you should check out Atlanta's organized street hockey league, the Metro Atlanta Steet Hockey Association (www.mashahockey.com). It's a fun, competitive league.
One more comment – I hope John Anderson sent the Thrashers players home this summer with some homework. How's this for a homework topic? Every player should bring back a list of 3-5 intangibles that playoff hockey teams do to win games. There are so many little things that some of these teams that playoff hockey teams do not! (finishing checks, controlling the puck on the lower boards, putting a man in front of the net at all times, etc.).
April 21st, 2009
11:27 pm
Welcome Chris. I would love for you to follow up a few questions with regards to the thrashers offseason:
1. Contract situation regarding Kovalchuk and Lehtonen. Also whom they are unlikely to sign (Perrin?Thorburn?)
2. Free agent situation. Will the owners splash the cash and make a legitimate effort to sign some supporting cast for Kovalchuk. What areas does John Anderson think that the team needs to improve.
3.Find out will the team will pursue Ilya Nikulin to sign a contract with Thrashers. Is it a priority for Don Waddell?
Thanks and all the best. I look forward to reading you columns weekly.
April 21st, 2009
11:33 pm
Welcome CV – I think you'll find the Thrashers blog full of vocal, knowledgeable and passionate Thrasher and (or) hockey fans. Count me as a passionate fan. We look forward to hearing the news and getting the scoops on Thrasher hockey – we're counting on you! There's nothing worse than reading a generic AP release to hear what happened with the Thrashers, so stay on top of the stories for us and you'll have as loyal a following as your able predecessors! Good luck and Go Thrashers!

welcome! so what is the word on Pavs after his surgery?

viv the sieve. hahahaha. hope you're a better sports writer than you were goalie eh?
April 22nd, 2009
6:54 am
Welcome Chris!
Sounds like you can continue the efforts of prior Thrashers beat writers in keeping this a very active blog. I'm a long time Atlanta hockey fan dating back to the days of Flames through the Knights age to the current Thrashers. Looking forward to what you can bring to us as we strive to keep you on your toes!

First Shot: Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker
I told myself I wouldn't come back. Sure, Metal Gear Solid 4 was a great game and all, but after enduring the hours upon hours of endless cut scenes with some stellar gameplay mixed in between, I just wasn't sure I was ready for another Metal Gear game. However, after hearing that series creator Hideo Kojima was returning to his franchise - on the PSP no less! - I knew I'd have to give it another go.
Set in 1974, the game takes place shortly after the events of Metal Gear Solid 3 and casts the player as Naked Snake (Big Boss) who must, along with his band of mercenaries the Militaires Sans Frontieres, infiltrate a mysterious military force in Costa Rica. I'm only a few hours into the game so far, but Peace Walker does a good job of establishing itself as a solid PSP title and remains faithful to the Metal Gear franchise. The game stays true to the core of the Metal Gear series while incorporating new elements, such as development for weapon upgrades, cooperative mission structures, different camouflage load outs, and extra challenges. The game has its usual long-winded cutscenes, though these are no presented in motion comic format, which at least presents an interesting visual this time around.
Be sure to check back in with Crispy Gamer soon for a full review of Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker.

Jesse James Engaged To Drag Racer Alexis Dejoria (Report)
Will Jesse James' fifth time be a charm?
According to Hollyscoop, the 43-year-old – who split with Sandra Bullock in 2010 – is engaged to drag racer Alexis DeJoria, 35.
DeJoria, who is the daughter of Paul Mitchell hair care co-founder John Paul DeJoria, addressed some of her Twitter followers after they unleashed a barrage of harsh comments about the reported engagement.
"I used to admire you now I feel sorry for you. Moving in and getting engaged to a guy you've been dating for a month," one of her fans Tweeted her.
Alexis replied with, "Am I supposed to wait till I'm married to sleep with a man too?! Lol! You've been brainwashed into what society says is right."
James was also married with Karla James and adult film star Janine Lindemulder. He was also engaged to Kat Von D, but the pair split in September.

That's a nice name, but a more descriptive one would be "Scrambled egg still in the shell". This is a simple egg trick my Sensei told me about; it's easy and fun and makes a tasty hard-boiled treat.
**UPDATE** I've done some research. The actual name in Japanese is
�rD�gu � or MD�D�g_~T which means Yellow Boiled Egg. Pretty straight forward name. I guess Golden egg is just the poetic version. (Instructables apparently doesn't support non-roman characters, so the Japanese didn't show up.)
Step 1: Getting started
- a raw egg
- one leg cut from a pair of nylons
**EDIT** It's been suggested that what I'm really using here is one leg from a pair of stockings. This could very well be true, as I know literally nothing about nylons or stockings. If so, just replace each instance of "nylons" with "stockings", and go at it!
**EDIT #2** Apparently the type of stocking / tight / legging / nylon may play a larger role than I knew. The stockings I use have a relatively low level of stretch. If the material is too stretchy then it won't spin properly. Also, it took me 4 eggs before I finally got a Golden egg (before I figured out the flashlight check in Step 3), so hang in there if it doesn't work on the first try!
My first success.
Wow! Impressive. And I love the flashlight trick. Never would've thunk it.
If speed of the drill is the problem, then perhaps you need a faster tool, like a router.
Here is "Fuwa-toro", the patented version of this.
Soft, fluffy and creamy since there's no bubbles in the egg when scrambled and by perfecting the cooking time and temperature. Yum~!
Also, when blowing eggs, before making the holes put a piece of wrapping tape where you are going to drill the holes. easier to drill that way and less likely to crack.
Here is a great way to boil an egg without making it tough. Try it on regular eggs and then on "Golden Eggs".
Place several eggs in a sauce pan and cover with cold water an inch over the top of the eggs. Place on high heat and bring to a rolling boil. As soon as the eggs reach a boil, remove them from the heat and set them aside for 10 minutes covered.
After resting ten minutes, rinse the eggs in cold water for a few minutes. Peel, salt, enjoy! This method makes a perfect boiled egg every time! It's a bit egg-centric but it works! - RA
Right now I am visualizing a plastic easter egg large enough to hold a real egg and fitted with a mandrel. We'll see--if it works, posted here, if not, YouTube.
Also, see the Instructable for how to test the scrambling process with a lamp.
Many people are under the impression that the peeling problem has to do with how quickly or slowly the eggs were cooled after cooking. It actually has nothing to do with the cooking process. It is mostly due to the age of the egg itself. Fresher eggs have a lower albumen (egg white) pH which causes the whites to more strongly bond with the shell membrane. Additionally, eggs have what is known as an "air sack" in the wide bottom portion of the shell. As an egg ages it loses moisture through the shell and the air sack grows bigger. Older eggs are easier to peel because their air sack is larger and thus the membrane that is just inside the shell is easier to remove. Fresher eggs have a much smaller air sack and thus the shell and membrane are more tightly bonded with the cooked egg white.
the best, and easiest way to make a hard boiled egg, prescrambled or other wise is to use an older egg to begin with. put the egg in cold water, bring the water to a boil, then kill the heat and let it cool down on its own.
Peeling of regular hardboiled eggs is dependent on the freshness of the eggs and how they are hard boiled, so these may be factors as well but I am banking on the disrupted membranes theory.
My egg spinner is made with one 500ml water bottle with bottom removed and a small hole in the lid. A screwdriver bit was put in the lid hole with copious duct tape used to fasten it all together.
Unfortunately I think I scrambled the eggs too well as only one of the four survived boiling (the shells cracked on the rest). But here it is in all its delicious, golden glory!
I would say you have confirmed the speculation that reversal is key to success with these things. Got to get those insides moving and let inertia do the rest.
I'm not sure why three of my eggs cracked during boiling. All four looked good after spinning and the three that cracked did so with a audible pop (sometimes accompanied with flying boiling water!). I also had a few regular boiled eggs from the same carton pop as well.
I can also confirm that the Golden Egg is definitely a bugger to peel. I just used the same spoon method mentioned above to get the results shown in my pics.
isn't it so much like the instructables community to see an age-old, dirt-simple technique and say "but what if I chucked an egg holder into my drill instead?"
Handling eggs at high speed can be tricky ;-)
I have seen egg beaters with a single "beater". A couple of cuts, open the cage, insert your egg, secure with a rubber band and spin that baby!
To the "Dollar Store"!

The Green Bay Packers were represented on the NFL Honors stage for the second time tonight when the Packers and quarterback Aaron Rodgers were awarded the Never Say Never Moment award for his touchdown to Randall Cobb touchdown on 4th and 8 inside of one minute to win the Week 17 game at Chicago against the Bears.
Not only did the touchdown pass win the game for the Packers, but it also gave the Packers their third straight NFC North Division title and a trip to the post season.
What's even better is the fact that this touchdown and win came on the road against the Packers longtime rivals, the Chicago Bears. And for it to happen in such dramatic fashion allowed the Packers fans to have another year of bragging rights against their most bitter rivals.
The play started with Rodgers in the shotgun with fullback John Kuhn alone to Rodgers' right. On the snap of the ball, the rush of Bears all-world defensive end Julius Peppers was intense, but Kuhn slid to his left, got just enough of Peppers to level him as Rodgers escaped the pocket to his left. Rodgers was all alone when he stopped and threw down the middle to a wide open Randall Cobb, who caught the ball and ran the rest of the way for the touchdown.
Clearly, it was the play that ignited Packers nation and cemented Aaron Rodgers and Randall Cobb in Packers lore.
It was by far the best and most dramatic play of the year. We will remember this one for a long time to come.
While this award goes to Aaron Rodgers, we have to say congratulations to John Kuhn, Randall Cobb … as well as the rest of the team for this much deserved award.

Come one, come all, my beer and food adoring friends. This week's featured blog combines two things that we know and love: that frothy, hoppy goodness of beer and recipes both sweet and savory. Who knew it could be done?
Jackie, also known as The Beeroness, does just it. Beer in literally every recipe. This really is the sweetest justice that anyone could ask for.
Photos courtesy of TheBeeroness
What makes The Beeroness so intriguing is that she has an incredible collection of appetizers, entrees, breads, sauces, desserts, etc., but also organizes these recipes by the types of beer that they use. She isn't blindly reaching into her cooler for a cold one; she is taking the time to match the flavors of the beer with the flavors of the ingredients in her recipes.
While this may seem like a no-brainer for many, it's amazing how often the flavor profile of an alcohol used in a recipe doesn't accentuate the rest of the ingredients. The Beeroness does this with great ease, coming up with some truly fantastic and unique recipes.
After scanning through her appetizer section, we realized that a lot of these dishes would be amazing for football parties! Serve up a plate of the Chili Beer Chicken Wings accompanied with the Roasted Garlic Parmesan Beer Cheese Dip and you'll be the favorite party house for every game of the season. Also check out her recipe for Jalapeno IPA Hummus to really blow your football party out of the water.
For some beer-centric weeknight meals, take a stab at the Homemade Beer Pasta, topped with Beer Chicken Piccata. Cook up a side of the Beer Braised Potatoes with Rosemary Beer Gravy and some Cheddar Beer Bread Muffins and you will have a dinner that you'll want to make over and over again.
The Beeroness is also impressively able to make sweet desserts with this alcohol that is so traditionally associated with savory dishes. Chocolate Chip Stout Beer Nut Cookies have the sweetness of chocolate combined with the rich coffee flavor of a stout beer. Chocolate Porter Strawberry Shortcakes with Beer Whipped Cream are a revelation. While not traditional shortcakes, these are still a great take on a classic, topped with boozy whipped cream. Cheers to that!
The Beeroness has so many recipes that it can be hard to pick out favorites. I hope you get the chance to try them all and let us know what you think!

Residents apprehensive of future impacts
Blaine city manager Gary Tomsic had to coax testimony out of a reluctant group of east Blaine residents and property owners attending a public hearing on changes to the east Blaine annexation agreement that would smooth the way for development in their now mostly-forested area.
"If you have questions that need to be answered, we really want to know," Tomsic prodded at the February 28 city council meeting, after silence greeted mayor John Liebert's request for input from the two dozen people attending the hearing.
A third of the audience was staff members and consultants with the two development companies proposing large subdivisions in east Blaine. Blossom Development bought 450 acres between H Street and the border, roughly between Harvey and Valleyview roads. They are proposing 600 to 700 homesites in a planned unit development to include 150-200 acres of open space, but they want changes to the developers agreement included with the 1996 annexation before they proceed. To the west, Connelly Company has submitted an application to the city for a 353-unit development on 90 acres, mostly single-family homesites mixed with some smaller cottage-style neighborhoods.
The remaining two-thirds of the audience were property owners and residents of east Blaine and when they did start talking many brought up concerns expressed during the 1992 hearings preceding the original annexation that led to the agreement developers now want changed: the cost to homeowners for connecting to city utilities as development brings them to the area, impact of development on the city's watershed just south of the proposed developments, traffic, improvements to existing roads. "These developments look nice but when the other shoe drops who's going to pay for all of this," said H Street resident Mike Kelly, asking if current residents would have to pay for sewer extensions, water extensions as the utilities were extended past their properties, on top of higher taxes for road improvements and other burdens of a population boom, such as more children in the schools. "This will be almost an additional 1,000 new units in Blaine," said Diane Palmason.
City attorney Jon Sitkin said looking at impacts on roads, schools, public safety and other city services, and steps to mitigate those impacts, would be part of the normal review process for the development proposal, not the changes to the annexation agreement now being considered.
Tomsic stressed to audience members that changing the agreement didn't let the developers off the hook but eliminated duplication from other city rules put in place since the 1996 annexation. "Most of the things would be covered by the normal development process," he said, "We're not giving up anything and they're not getting away with anything."
Tomsic said the developer would be responsible for putting in appropriately-sized water and sewer mains, but would not be required to pay for hooking up other properties. "The utilities to serve the area will be paid for by the people who use them. That's as it should be," he said. However, the city had ways to mitigate the impact of hookup fees for homeowners the sewer passed by. "We've come up with some mechanisms that do not force people to immediately hook on," he said. "Our intent is not to burden you."
Mayor John Liebert also reassured audience members concerned about the development's impact on the quality of the city's water supply. "That is the main concern we'll have through all of this," he said
Sitkin said the city staff was ready to accept most of the changes Blossom is proposing to the developers' agreement, presenting two draft ordinances that would eliminate conditions from the annexation agreement and change the developer agreement.
However, the city would address some residents' concerns by new provisions for a subarea plan to address land use, transportation and utilities in the entire east Blaine area. "City planning staff has wanted to see a subarea planning process for the whole area," Sitkin said. "If there's a future condition it's that there be a future subarea process to go forward."
Blossom attorney Philip Serka said they had not had time to review the proposed new agreement in enough detail but that, "at first blush I'm a little concerned there are conditions in here where when we're done there's not a clear message we can go forward," he said.
Serka said he felt the planning needed to move through the planned unit development permitting was all his company should be required to do, and that responsibility for an area plan was going too far. "It is zoned residential and it is assumed we could go forward without having another master planning process," he said. Serka also wanted separate developer agreements for Blossom and Connelly, which city staff supported.
Blossom might not want a subarea plan as a condition of development but owner Ken Hertz said he and Connelly had met and committed themselves to "proportionately share in the cost of the master plan for east Blaine."
Hertz also said during the year he expects it will take for planning and approval of the development he has employed 17 consultants so that at future hearings and meetings he will have answers to questions about the projects impact on wetlands, aquifer recharge, traffic patterns, wildlife and other areas of concern.
"The budgets are going to be substantial so when the questions come up we're going to be able to answer them the best we can," he said, adding public meetings would be a hallmark of the planning and design of the project. "We're not here to hit and run, we're here to put together a project we can all be proud of," he said. "It's going to take give-and-take on the part of the city, us, and other parties but hopefully we can get rid of this cumbersome arrangement we have with the annexation agreement."
Tomsic said some of the orphans of the changes to the 1996 annexation agreement would be dealt with separately by the city, such as the dilapidated roads in the Jerome Avenue area. The agreement compels east Blaine developers to help get the roads into city ownership, and therefore under city maintenance – a condition that was never met and that Hertz maintains is not feasible. "Here we are today with the same kinds of problems," Tomsic said, proposing neighborhood meetings to get a solution rolling. "We need to get you folks together who are affected and address the issue head on." City council agreed to keep the record open for another public hearing March 14 and to accept any written comment on the changes to the annexation agreement and developers' agreement.
"I want to make sure as a group you don't feel shortchanged," Liebert said. "There will be future meetings. There's no way we're trying to keep the public out of this process."

Friday 16 May 7-9pm
Saturday 17 May 10.30-12.30am & 2–pm
Sunday 18 May 10.30-12.30am & 2–4pm
£140 for 5 sessions
£115 for 4 sessions
£100 for 3 sessions
£70 for 2 sessions
Back by popular demand, the legendary Greek-born Kristina Ireland will be hosting another weekend workshop at the Shala in 2014. Kristina taught alongside her late husband Derek Ireland, who was instrumental in bringing ashtanga to Europe.
Trained and authorised by Sri K. Pattabhi Jois, she has a world-wide reputation and is one of the few teachers to offer the second and third series. She is an inspiring and dedicated teacher who teaches from the heart.
The course will take the following structure:
Friday evening: talk through of primary series
Saturday morning: Mysore self practice
Saturday afternoon: talk through of part of second series (optional)
Sunday morning: Mysore self practice
Sunday afternoon: tips and ways for the practice, based on questions and answers, plus breathing techniques and chanting.
Students should have a reasonably established yoga practice ie working at Level 3 (or about to move to Level 3) or at Mysore level. The course is not suitable for beginners. Knowledge of second series is not essential and the Saturday afternoon session is optional. Early booking is recommended – email us to book. If you are booking for part of the workshop, please advice which session you will not attend.
Ashtanga weekend with John Scott
November 2014 course dates
29 & 30 November 2014
More info to follow
Dynamic Hatha
with Kath Roberts
Course dates & bookings
once a month on Sundays from March 2014 (or email Kath for queries)
Cost: £25
This extended (2.5-hour) class/workshop allows you to go deeper in to the yoga practice. There is time to delve into some of the asanas in more detail, while also including some breathing techniques and a brief sitting meditation. The asana practice is fairly dynamic and only suitable for students who are familiar with the sun salutations. There will be some poses from the ashtanga series and usually there is some focus on the inverted poses handstand, headstand, forearm balance and shoulderstand. Class numbers are limited to 12, which ensures that the teacher is able to work with students individually on technique, and that there is a chance to examine some less common poses (especially if your main practice is Asthanga). Should you like to join and there is a particular pose or aspect of the practice you would like to explore you can let Kath know and she will work it in to the class if she can.

Contrary to scientists' expectations, much of the comet dust returned by NASA's Stardust mission formed very close to the young sun and was somehow differentiated from the other materials that are believed to have formed in the early solar system.
When NASA's Stardust mission returned to Earth with samples from comet Wild 2 in 2006, scientists knew the material would provide new clues about the formation of our solar system, but they didn't know exactly how.
New research by scientists at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory, Livermore, Calif., and collaborators reveals that, in addition to containing material that formed very close to the young sun, the dust from Wild 2 also is missing ingredients that would be expected in comet dust. Surprisingly, the Wild 2 comet dust samples better resemble a meteorite from the asteroid belt rather than an ancient, unaltered comet.
The team, using Livermore's SuperSTEM (scanning transmission electron microscope), specifically searched for two silicate materials in Stardust that are believed to be unique to cometary interplanetary dust particles: amorphous silicates known as Gems (glass with embedded metal and sulfides); and sliver-like whiskers of the crystalline silicate enstatite (a rock-forming mineral).
Stardust is a part of NASA's series of Discovery missions and is managed by NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory. Stardust launched in February 1999 and set off on three giant loops around the sun. It began collecting interstellar dust in 2000 and met Wild 2 in January 2004, when the spacecraft was slammed by thousands of comet particles. It is the first spacecraft to safely make it back to Earth with cometary dust particles in tow.
The follow-on mission for the Stardust spacecraft, Stardust-NExT, is a low-cost mission that will expand the investigation of comet Tempel 1 initiated by NASA's Deep Impact spacecraft. JPL, a division of the California Institute of Technology, Pasadena, manages Stardust-NExT for the NASA Science Mission Directorate, Washington, D.C. Joseph Veverka of Cornell University is the mission's principal investigator. Lockheed Martin Space Systems, Denver Colo., manages day-to-day mission operations.

JACKSON, MS (WLBT) – An historic settlement was reached Thursday in the longstanding litigation against the USDA by black farmers.
The agreement will provide $1.25 billion dollars to African American farmers who alleged they suffered racial discrimination in USDA farm loan programs.
Thousands of black farmers - mostly from the south - claimed local USDA offices routinely denied them loans and disaster aid that routinely went to whites.
If approved by Congress, it would be the second round of damages stemming from a class action lawsuit originally settled in 1999.

2010 Arnot-Roberts Syrah Alder Springs Vineyard - USA, California, North Coast, Mendocino County (3/30/2013)
Wow is this good. Meaty, peppery, leathery - it's packed with all sorts of deep Syrah elements that harken to the Northern Rhone. It's not remotely fruity. It does have a bit of an acidic edge, but that resolves itself with about an hour of air, leaving a bright but silky Syrah treasure. Fantastic wine.

Frost Mage DPS Statistics Priority and Reforging (MoP 5.4)
On this page, we explain what the best statistics are for Frost Mages in World of Warcraft MoP 5.4, how the class benefits from each of them, and what your reforging strategy should be. We also detail what the various caps are (if any) and why they should be attained.
The statistics priority is important as it influences reforging strategies as well as itemisation choices (gear, enchants, and gems).
Make sure to check our Gear Optimisation Guide, which serves as a support guide for this article.
The other pages of our Frost Mage guide can be accessed from the table of contents on the right.
This guide has been reviewed and approved by Kuni, one of the best Frost Mages in the world, who raids in Midnight Sanctuary.
1. Basics↑top
The stat priority for a Frost Mage is:
- Intellect;
- Hit Rating (until 15%);
- Haste Rating;
- Mastery Rating;
- Critical Strike Rating.
At lower gear levels (approximately below item level 490), Critical Strike Rating is better than Mastery.
For single-target DPS, the optimal balance between stats seems to be Haste Rating (until 50% haste when raid buffed, which means 14,242 Haste Rating for non-Goblins), then Mastery Rating, then further Haste Rating, then Critical Strike Rating.
For more information about stats, you can read Akraen's Advanced Frost Mage Guide.
These statistics have been obtained by combining common sense, in-game testing, and simulations using Simulation Craft.
If you are unsure what the optimal reforging strategy is for the above priority, you can Ask Mr. Robot for a personalised optimisation of your character's gear, by filling the form below.
2. Getting a Better Understanding↑top
2.1. Statistics Explanations
Intellect is your primary stat. You should look for this stat in all of your upgrades. It provides you with Spell Power, which increases the damage of your spells, and increases your critical strike chance.
Hit Rating decreases the chance that your spells will miss their target (15% against a raid boss). Therefore, your goal is to reach the 15% hit cap (see section below), which will ensure that your attacks never miss.
Haste Rating influences the cast speed of your spells and stacking Haste Rating enables you to make the most of Invocation, by spending less time casting Evocation and more time benefiting from the +15% increased damage buff that it provides. Haste Rating also increases the damage dealt by your Water Elemental. Finally, Haste Rating increases the frequency of your procs of Brain Freeze, because it speeds up ticks of Living Bomb and Nether Tempest, and decreases the cast time and the cooldown of Frost Bomb.
Critical Strike Rating increases your chance to critically hit. Remember that your chance to critical hit with Ice Lance (always cast with Fingers of Frost up) and Frostfire Bolt (always cast with Brain Freeze up) is increased by Shatter, a Frost-specific passive ability.
Mastery Rating increases the damage of your Water Elemental and the damage of your Frostbolt and Frostfire Bolt abilities (through Icicles that store damage and release it when you use Ice Lance).
2.2. How Exactly Mastery: Icicles Work
- One Icicle is produced for each Frostbolt or Frostfire Bolt damage event. This means you get three per cast while under Glyph of Icy Veins.
- You can have a maximum of five Icicles.
- Generating a sixth Icicle will automatically fire the oldest one.
- Ice Lance will rapidly fire all currently held Icicles, and any Icicle generated before that barrage ends, at the target.
- Icicles themselves cannot crit, but a critical strike with Frostbolt or Frostfire Bolt will generate a larger Icicle.
- Icicles have their own roll for determining whether they will hit or not.
- They disappear after 30 seconds, if you do spend them or do not gain new ones.
2.3. Hit Cap
At level 90, most races require 5,100 Hit Rating to reach the spell hit cap. Some races, in some cases, only need 4,760 Hit Rating, thanks to passive racial skills:
- Draenei because of Heroic Presence;
- Gnomes when using a Dagger or a Sword ( Shortblade Specialization);
- Humans when using a Sword ( Sword Specialization).
Note that, in Mists of Pandaria, 1% expertise counts as 1% hit towards the spell hit cap.
2.4. Critical Strike Cap
Because of Shatter, it is possible to have more than a 100% chance to critically strike with Ice Lance (when Fingers of Frost is up) and Frostfire Bolt (when Brain Freeze is up). To obtain your critical strike chance against frozen targets, Shatter multiplies your critical strike chance by 2 and adds 50%. At 25%, critical strike chance, your chance to critically hit frozen targets is 100% (25% x 2 + 50%).
Enemies are subject to a mechanic called Crit Depression (or Crit Suppression). Testing has shown that when you attack an enemy that has a higher level than you, you deal 1% less critical strikes for each level between you and the enemy. Raid bosses are 3 levels above you, so -3% critical strike chance is applied before Shatter, so you need to reach 28% critical strike chance in order for Shatter to guarantee critical strikes.
This means that stacking Critical Strike Rating beyond 28% (23% with the +5% critical strike chance raid buff) is not very useful.
3. Changelog↑top
- 03 Mar. 2014: Additional notes on the stat priority.
- 30 Sep. 2013: Kuni's review: updated stat priority (Master > Crit), added more details about the new Mastery, and improve Critical Strike cap explanations.
- 10 Sep. 2013: Patch 5.4 update: updated Mastery explanations.
- 20 May 2013: Patch 5.3 update: nothing changed.
- 17 Apr. 2013: Added a mention of the fact that Haste Rating increases the damage of your Water Elemental and decreases the cast time and cooldown of Frost Bomb.

Olga & Alla Take Grass Title On Hardcourt
Published June 12, 2011 05:21
Olga Govortsova and Alla Kudryavtseva overcame an unusual situation to win the title at the AEGON Classic on Sunday in Birmingham.
With the grass courts covered to protect them from rain, second-seeded Govortsova and Kudryavtseva and third-seeded Sara Errani and Roberta Vinci agreed to play the final on indoor hardcourts because they had flights to catch and could not wait until Monday to decide the victors. After splitting the first two sets, Govortsova and Kudryavtseva jumped out to a 5-2 lead in the match tie-break, lost three straight points, then won five straight to clinch the match, 16 61 105.
Prior to this year, Govortsova and Kudryavtseva had paired up eight times, never getting beyond the quarterfinals of an event, but now they already have two titles in just five events in 2011, having also won Memphis in February. This was Govortsova's sixth career doubles title and Kudryavtseva's fourth.
Meanwhile, another second-seeded duo also captured a title on Sunday, as Johanna Larsson and Jasmin Woehr defeated Kristina Mladenovic and Katarzyna Piter, 63 63 in the final of the e-Boks Sony Ericsson Open in Copenhagen. Larsson and Woehr did not drop a set all week en route to their first title in their third career event together.
"It was a fantastic week," said Larsson, who now has two career doubles titles to her name while Woehr has four. "I want to thank my partner. I think I chose the best one. I also want to thank everybody who was involved in the tournament. I had a great week and I hope to come back next year."
"They played really well today, so well done girls," Piter said. "You deserved to win today. Congratulations to you guys. We will learn something from you."
Mladenovic and Piter were paired up for the first time this week, and this was the first career doubles final for both.
