Earlier story
Rock Island County Republicans and Democrats, gathered at two huge parties in downtown Rock Island, are both sounding confident as they wait for results to trickle in.
Rock Island County Board member and Democrat Virgil Mayberry said there were long lines at the Martin Luther King Center when polls closed at 7 p.m.
"We've never seen that many people," he said. "There were people waiting over an hour and I believe it's a great sign for our president and Cheri Bustos."
Rock Island County Republican Party Chairwoman Susie Carpentier, however, said from what she's seen so far turnout across the county seems to be down from the 2008 presidential election.
"I think we are going to do really well tonight," she said. "This is the biggest election night party we've ever had."
Republican candidates are gathered at the Stern Center in the refurbished Hyman Furniture building. Democrat Cheri Bustos and other Democratic candidates are gathering nearby at the Holiday Inn in Rock Island.
Nearly 21,000 people voted in Rock Island County by 2:30 p.m., with 67,000 to 68,000 expected before the polls close, Rock Island County Chief Deputy Clerk John Brown said.More than 70,000 voters would set a record, he said.The heaviest voter turnout by 2:30 p.m. was in the west end of Rock Island, where 40 percent of expected votes were tallied, Mr. Brown said.No major problems had been reported, he said.Mr. Brown said he was unaware of discrepancies on a voting center list on the county clerk's home page. Voters were waiting when polling places opened Tuesday, and the heavy pace continued in what election judges and a poll watcher described as one of the best turnouts they've seen in years.In the first three hours, more than 400 people voted at Moline's First Christian Church, election judge Taryn Hancock said. About 45 people were waiting when she announced at 6 a.m. that ''OK, the polls are open.''Long lines kept forming and the church parking lot at 1826 16th St., Moline, stayed full.''Everyone was eager to cast their vote,'' Ms. Hancock said.It was no different at seven other Moline and Coal Valley precincts, according to poll watcher Justin Anderson. ''Judges are commenting of how unusually busy they are,'' he said.It's his fifth election cycle as a poll watcher, and he said he's never seen it busier, but wasn't surprised by the turnout.About 20 people were lined up in front of Rock Island Township Hall, 2827 7th Ave., Rock Island, and more than 225 voters had cast ballots by 10:20 a.m., election judge Irma Gripp said.At the Martin Luther King Center in Rock Island, 300 to 400 voters were counted by 10:30 a.m., election judge Della Perkins said.More than 20 people were waiting for the doors to open at the South Moline Township Senior Center, at 637 17th Ave., East Moline, election judge Tiffany Holmes said.''It's been steady ever since,'' she said, with 565 voters counted by 11 a.m.''We like to have fun here, so we try to predict how many people will vote,'' Ms. Holmes said. "We're predicting between 1,700 to 2,000."By 11:30 a.m., 471 voters had made their way to the polling place at Riverside Garden Center, at 3400 5th Ave., Moline, election judge Don Fey said.'"We've averaged about 90 per hour,'' he said.He has been an election judge for the past 20 years, and declared ''this is as good as it gets."Alfred Oien, of Moline, spent the morning at First Christian Church ''people watching,'' he said. It wasn't his polling place. He was waiting for his wife to finish working at the church's daycare. But he said it was the most voters he's remembered seeing since 1967.Brandon Van Kauren of Moline rode his KHS Flite road bike in the rain to vote at the church.''I didn't have to fight for a parking place this way,'' he said. He already had taken care of some banking business, and stood at the church entrance in the rain before getting into the church to vote and opening the door for other voters.Ms. Gripp at Rock Island Township Hall said she was thankful it wasn't rain when she was carrying supplies in at 4:30 a.m.A news crew from WREX-Channel 13, from Rockford, came to the Martin Luther King Center, to air reports about the 17th Congressional District race.''Rockford's new to the 17th, and is a highly touted race,'' reporter and weekend news anchor Matt Groves said.An election judge at the King Center announced at one point that "We're getting a lot of people who are not registered to vote here. Look on the back of your registration cards to see if you're supposed to be voting here or not."People not knowing or realizing their polling place had changed was a recurring problem Tuesday, but not a major one, Ms. Hancock said. ''But I'm just glad to see so many people voting," Mr. Fey said.Mr. Fey and Ms. Holmes said they saw many first-time voters at the polls Tuesday ."It's been pleasantly busy,'' Mr. Fey said. "That's not always the case, especially at primaries. Some of them have been primarily dismal.''

Read my latest at The Guardian:
Twenty years ago, just after college, I attended a birthday party for a friend. In the kitchen, standing round the drinks, a handsome guy chatted me up:
"So, do you have a boyfriend?" He asked.
"No," I replied.
"Oh, what's wrong with you, then?"
"Sorry?" I said, puzzled.
"I mean, dudes should be interested in a woman like you. If you don't have a boyfriend, something must be wrong with you. You must be one of those crazy women."
Over the last decade, America has been playing an increasingly aggressive game of "What's wrong with you, then?" with heterosexual single black women. US marriage rates are dropping, according to a recent Pew Research Center study. But African Americans marry even less often than their white counterparts. According to the 2010 census, just over 26% of white Americans aged 15 and older have never married, compared to 47% of the black population.
We are told that the "black marriage crisis" (pdf) affects none so much as black women. Though black men are equally unmarried, news articles, panel discussions, special reports and books solely lament the fact that black women are half as likely to marry as white women.
There are, of course, many complicated reasons for this gap. Experts cite numbers: there are more American black women than men; higher rates of interracial partnering among black men; bias against black men in the criminal justice system and the legacy of slavery. There is also the achievement gap: black women outnumber black men in higher education more than two to one, and this often creates a wedge of opportunity and class between them. But no reason seems more compelling than the idea that black women need to change who they are and what they want.
In Is Marriage For White People?, Ralph Richard Banks tells black women to date more nonblack men. In an interview with gossip site NecoleBitchie.com that exploded around the web, actor and singer Tyrese cautioned black women against being "too independent". Comedian, radio host and now bestselling author Steve Harvey suspects women don't understand how men think. We need to, according to Harvey, meet men on their own terms. In his popular books, Act Like a Lady: Think Like a Man and Straight Talk; No Chaser, Harvey doles out advice on how to be "a girl" and cautions women that wanting a man who is "humble and smart, fun and romantic, sensitive and gentle, and, above all, supportive" is "unrealistic".
Harvey is not alone in thinking black women demand too much of their partners. Even as we are bombarded with advice on how to change to meet the desires of selective partners, single black women are constantly confronted for being "too picky".
And it seems black women are not the only women carrying this burden. In a recent article for the Guardian, Syma Mohammed discussed why older, Muslim British women in the Asian community struggle to find marriage partners. There is a tradition of men from the Indian subcontinent marrying women from their country of origin. Also, men are allowed to marry outside of the Muslim faith, while women are not. And then, there is this:

Adult Nonfiction HV6432.7.B743 A3 2006
Summary: 'Sweets, I'm ok. I'm ok. Don't worry. It's not my building,' said Kristen Breitweiser's husband on the phone from his office in the second tower. The call ended abruptly and Kristen stared at the tv in horror as the second plane hit and her life - and her country - changed forever. This the deeply personal, often shocking and ultimately inspirational story of a woman left to pick up the pieces of a life shattered by terrorism. With no husband by her side or father for her child, Kristen somehow found the strength to embark on a journey that would lead first to the creation of the 9/11 Commission and then to her role as one of the country's most outspoken activists and critics of the current administration.

City calls for second audit, removes board members
By ELIZABETH ROBERTS
In the wake of Deerfield Beach's decision to place two Community Development Division employees on paid leave, city commissioners have approved a request by Commissioner Bill Ganz to remove several city board members.
"They are still a distraction to these boards," Ganz said. "We should remove them now, and I would be more than happy to bring some of them back."
The request centers on Dan Poitier, who has served on the Planning and Zoning Board for nearly a decade, Marta and Engardo Rivera of the Community Relations Board and Anthony Davis of the Civil Service Board.
All were named in the initial report compiled by auditing firm Kessler International, which recommended the findings be referred to the State Attorney's Office, Florida's attorney general and the Office of the Inspector General for the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development. With interim City Manager Burgess Hanson concluding that the first phase of Deerfield Beach's financial audit turned up possible criminal activity, the city has authorized a second audit.
The initial findings led city officials to place Community Development Division coordinators Debra Chatman and Stephanie McMillian on paid leave until the city reviews the audit's findings. No charges have been filed.
But some commissioners sounded uncomfortable removing only some board members who were named in the initial audit.
"They are accused, but not convicted," Vice Mayor Joe Miller said.
Kessler's nearly 200-page report found "failure and disregard of regulations and requirements" that were "indicative of illegal activity." Among the findings: payments greater than what regulations allow, false invoices for audits and payments off the books.
Citing findings that Kessler described as being "at the very least worrisome," commissioners approved spending $80,000 to examine purchasing and building divisons, specifically how contracts and permits were awarded.
"It's important to finish this, and then to move forward," Hanson said.

Growing Up with the Murano Mirror
There are certain things that make up a home. It's different for all of us and can be greatly influenced by what we grew up with. For me, this Murano Mirror is one of those objets that brings about incredible nostalgia.
It's been in every home that my mom and I have lived in and I've seen it in countless photographs from my parents' lives before I was born. My mom bought the mirror while traveling in Italy (in Venice to be exact) in her 20's and it's just stayed with us. Sometimes in the bathroom, sometimes in the hall, sometimes put away for a while before finding its place.
But I hadn't really thought about it until I was walking down Abbot Kinney and saw a similar one in the window of the shop Daisy Arts. It blew my mind. That another one of these mirrors could be for sale. That the mirror didn't exist purely in my childhood home! What a revelation! I wouldn't say that it's the style that I'm drawn to but I immediately considered buying it. But didn't.
Are there things in your home that you've bought or hung onto just because you grew up with it or it provides nostalgia (and feels home-y)? Have you banished all things nostalgic for the sake of nt being tied to objects? Would you rather die than have anything that was in your childhood home?
7 Comments
Similarly, a mirror. It was in the foyer of my childhood home when we moved in over 45 years ago and it served as a center for our family life. The ledge underneath it held everything - car keys, mail, report cards, Mother's Day flowers, holiday cards, money, the dog's leash, etc.
When I passed my driving test and asked to borrow the car, my Dad reluctantly agreed and said, "the keys are on the mirror." When my brother was expecting college acceptance letters, he made a mad dash home after school to check the mail on the mirror. When my sister received the sonogram of my parent's first grandchild, it was taped to the mirror. Everything seemed to end up there.
In 2001 when my folks retired and sold our home, I had a particularly hard time saying goodbye for many reasons. I thought about leaving the mirror for the next family to enjoy (as the previous owners had for us), but I heard that they had major rennovations in mind and I feared that they wouldn't see the mirror's value. After all, it held the history of two families so far. So I took it and in doing so, I hope I've honored the original owner's wishes by preserving it and using it in my own life.
the was a yellow bench. i'd like to have a bench and i guess the reason why is b/c i remember that bench so vividly.
oops! there* was....
Oh Lourdes--I'm so glad you have the mirror with you! What a great history!
Lourdes, you made the right choice,
Aww. Feel-good story of the day, Lourdes.
Lourdes, you made my eyes water! I love that sweet, sweet story.

Of course, Bryan County has seen its share of jail inmate escapes over the years. The sheriff blamed it on lack of funding for security and salaries.
And while the Bryan County Jail does get more money allocated to it now than in years past, salaries are still relatively low.
So, we're busting open the budget with a Special Assignment Report on how your tax dollars pay your county workers, specifically your elected officials. KTEN's Lisanne Anderson reports.
"The more population grows the more value of property grows therefore the more tax dollars come in," says Monty Montgomery.
Montgomery is one of three Bryan County Commissioners who set salaries for all county employees.
"The key thing with this is every salary in the county is based on elected official salary. First Deputy can make up to 90 percent of officials. Second Deputy can make up to 80 percent."
And to get initial top salary, Commissioners in Oklahoma have set guidelines from the Oklahoma legislature.
Section 1A, Title 19, of the Oklahoma Statutes spells it out in black and white, with a set base range, then Commissioners literally do the math, using population and estimated property tax coming into the county.
Bryan County falls in a net property valuation of between $80 million and $300 million, meaning minimum salary for elected officials can be anywhere between $24,500 to $44,500.
Your elected officials in Bryan County make $43,200 a year, a salary that hasn't increased in at least four years.
"Right now, there's now additional money at all for any county elected official."
"Why not?" Lisanne asks.
"Because our budget isn't big enough to take care of that."
Part of the reason: the debt from years ago to remodel the Bryan County Jail... a sixth of the county sales tax still pays more than $13,000 a month to reduce that debt.
Commissioners hope to have that paid off next year, with that money then going back into the county general fund.
As for salaries though, it still comes down to population and property tax.. and as the county grows, so does the opportunity for increased salaries.
"Bryan County is not overly blessed with finances but we're not in financial hardships we were a few years ago."
And that's just one example. Those are the numbers and formulas for Oklahoma's county elected officials, depending on county size.
One interesting note is that no matter the experience and time on the job of the elected official, in Oklahoma, they all make the same amount of money.
In Texas, it's a much different set of rules. County Commissioner can budget just about whatever the county can afford.
Below are lists of salaries received from local municipalities, obtained through Freedom of Information requests. Every government agencies contacted by KTEN News was very cooperative, sharing this public information without any hindrances.
Compensation figures highlighted with a light blue background includes a car allowance. Compensation figures highlighted with a pink background includes an expense account. Census data is for city and county population and is provided for purposes of comparison.

- Looks like Jon Condo passed that concussion test after all and is playing, as long snapper Nick Guess — activated yesterday — was one of the seven inactive players announced before the game. Receiver Juron Criner is also inactive, as are Terrelle Pryor, Tony Bergstrom, Joe Barksdale, Lucas Nix and Jack Crawford. Criner's sore ankle had looked better in practice this week.
- As expected, receiver Denarius Moore is back from his hamstring injury and active.
- It rained on the drive up to the stadium, has stopped now but dark clouds on the horizon. Still very humid. Check that. It's raining now.
- Today's story was on the Raiders defense trying to get in on the Ryan Tannehill tip party. The Miami offensive lineman "admonished about gut-punching Raiders defensive linemen to get their hands down," according to today's Miami Herald.
- First one to 17 points wins? There was an average of 49.4 points scored per game in the opening week of NFL play, the highest average in the first week since the leagues merged in 1970. The Dolphins and Raiders came within 54 seconds of being the only teams not to score an offensive touchdown.
- The Dolphins are coming off their most lopsided season-opening loss since 1988. … The Dolphins haven't won home opener since 2005, and they're 0-7 in September at home since 2007.
- While the Raiders struggled last week on special teams, the Dolphins were in the top 10 in 10 of the 16 special teams categories they track — they were first in average drive start off kickoffs and field-goal percentage.
- Coach Dennis Allen on Darren McFadden's workload: "We're not going to put limits on him. Again, it will be a game feel. We're going to do what we have to do to try and win games. But we also understand that there's only a certain amount of plays that a guy has in him, so we got to do a good job of monitoring that."
- Allen on Dolphins pass rusher Cameron Wake: "He's got speed coming off the edge. I think that's the first thing that a great pass rusher has, is they have speed coming off the edge, make us have to respect that. But he's got multiple moves. He's not a one-trick pony. He's an accomplished player. He's done a nice job of sacking the quarterback in the past, and we've got to take into account where he's at every play."
- Sebastian Jankowski needs three PATs to move into first place on Raiders' career list.

Blood spinning is a treatment that's been available to the world's top athletes to treat injuries for years, helping them recover faster. But now, the rest of us are able to benefit from some of those gains.
What do Kobe Bryant, Hines Ward, and Tiger Woods have in common? They've all been helped by blood spinning.
A healing technique called PRP, protein rich plasma, was once only available to elite athletes. Now weekend warriors are enjoying the benefits.
I recently used it. My injury began as a searing pain in my right elbow.
"Your problem is you have a tendinopathy, here where you actually have some micro tearing of the muscle attachment to the bone," said Dr. Thomas Wall.
I hurt my elbow playing golf, but the injury is commonly known as tennis elbow. We used a cold laser to try to heal it in combination with physical therapy.
I spent the at least some part of ten weeks in this room trying to rehab this elbow naturally. I got better, but just not all the way there.
"we got to a point where it got better but you plateau'd, so we needed to get you over that hump and hopefully the PRP and cold laser will get you back to 100 percent," said physical therapist Reggie Vasquez.
So they drew my blood. One vial is all you need. It's placed into a centrifuge for a few minutes where it spins at high speed.
Once removed from the centrifuge, here's what you have.
The clear stuff on top is the platelet rich plasma, PRP. The good stuff. Injected into the injury, it will promote healing.
"We all have platelets floating around in our system and basically were going to utilize them by concentrating them 7 to 8 fold and put those platelets in the area where the problem is."
He numbs the area first. Numbed, Dr. Wall prepares to inject the PRP.
"There's about a teaspoon of fluid in here, and that's good stuff, that's excellent stuff. This is what contains all the growth factors."
He massages the PRP into the injured area.
"Four weeks you should start feeling beneficial effects and it should get better and better with time."
Within a month, I felt 80 percent better. Now I'm finally playing golf again -- but don't take my word for it.
Listen to the master, chief master and 8th degree black belt Bill Babin.
Five weeks before his test for 8th degree black belt in tae kwon do, disaster struck. A bad hamstring tear. He had waited 7 years for this moment.
Babin thought he was finished. But Dr. Wall had other ideas -- blood spinning.
"I had no idea what it was and I'd never heard of it… and I said dude I got five weeks I need it," said Babin.
Five weeks after blood spinning, Babin said, "I had gotten back to the point where I was kicking at 100 percent."
Passing a grueling test, he earned his 8th degree black belt. He credits blood spinning -- PRP -- for getting him through it.
"It's a very effective therapy and it worked on me. More people need to understand that there is more out there than is traditionally offered."

After 12 years of sobriety, Trace Adkins has entered rehab after a relapse.
Trace was on a Caribbean cruise ship as part of a Country Cruise entertainment lineup as one of the headliners when he apparently fell off the wagon. Oddly, it sounds like things escalated for Trace when he got into an altercation with a Trace Adkins impersonator performing karaoke on the ship. Trace's camp has announced that he has left the ship, cancelled all of his remaining performances, and has entered an unnamed treatment facility.
We sincerely with Trace all the best.

Reasonable Expectations for 08-09 (Horcoff)
Thousands of years ago when baseball was an organized sport with credibility, many teams worked all summer to win something called the "pennant." My team, the now defunct Montreal Expos, never won a "pennant" because Bud Selig is the Devil and when they finally matured as a franchise they didn't get a real left handed bat with power until Larry Walker came along and then it was too late. The Expos used to produce very good right handed hitters, but never had a left handed bat who could play everyday (Al Oliver couldn't throw when he came over from Texas) and they had other problems (like Doug Flynn) and never got it done.
The lesson of Larry Walker is one sports franchises in modern sports (like hockey, football and basketball) can learn from the long forgotten sport of baseball (along with "greed kills" and "people from Milwuakee can also be assfaces"). The lesson is this: sometimes a guy you sign off the street or draft 99th overall could end up being that left handed bat in the middle of your order.
Shawn Horcoff is the Oilers' left handed bat who can play in the middle of the order. On a team with wizards and warlocks, Horcoff is a guy who can play at pace while doing the actual nuts and bolts heavy lifting required to get the playing field pointed in the proper direction. Although not in Larry Walker's class as a player, Horcoff's unique skills (when laid against the rest of the roster) make him as valuable to this team at this time.
Faceoffs, coverage down low, making a pass or taking a pass, taking a hit to make a play, cheating for defense when Hemsky's ad-libbing. For those reasons and more, Shawn Horcoff is the Larry Walker in the middle of a bunch of right handed bats, the rhythm section of the Rolling Stones, the Jerry Seinfeld to Kramer, George and Elaine.
Horcoff's role this fall will be to center a line of potential All-Stars in Ales Hemsky and one of Erik Cole, Dustin Penner or Robert Nilsson. He'll also get plenty of powerplay time, although that role may well be split with young Sam Gagner as the season enters the second half. His penalty killing time may also be cut back as candidates like Marc Pouliot and Andrew Cogliano learn on the job.
This is a player with a wide range of skills, a player who can execute the job of center on a good NHL team. This is a player good enough to be the go-to center on a club that came within a hair of winning a Stanley (Horcoff led all forwards in time-on-ice, spring 2006).
He isn't going to be the most famous man on this team, but he's the most valuable. He's also going to ride Hemsky and a brilliant powerplay to a career season.

Some of those obstacles are intellectual, but there are emotional, relational and experiential ones as well. Even theological problems can get in the way when the very nature of faith itself is misunderstood. J. P. Moreland and Klaus Issler team up in this book to clear away the barriers to faith by helping you gain a clear grasp of what faith is, identifying the various obstacles to it and providing guidance for growing in your trust in God through Jesus Christ.
Professor of Christian Education and Theology

We offer two ways to locate information:
Red wines that are more fruit-forward and lighter in tannin and body.
Medium bodied reds that go down easy, with smooth tannins and supple fruit.
Wines where earthy and/or spicy dominate the flavors – typically medium to full body.
Full bodied wines that have concentrated fruit and are higher in alcohol and/or tannins. Some need age.
2008 was a spectacular harvest for these Shiraz growers to the north and south of the township of Margaret River. Low yields delivered lush, highly aromatic fruit, with pepper and spice nuances in abundance. This wine has plenty of backbone, and intensity and yet wonderful balance and elegance. By fermenting each batch of growers fruit separately, there is no doubt the wine has added complexity.
"Medium garnet in color, the 2008 Shiraz displays evolving earth and spice box over a core of mulberries and kirsch. Medium to full-bodied, the palate lends a good density of mature fruit with crisp acid and powdery tannins, finishing long and spicy. Delicious now, it should remain good through 2014+."
89 Points
The Wine Advocate
"Bright ruby. Fresh blackberry and spices on the nose, with a hint of white pepper and a suave mocha quality. Silky, gently sweet red and dark berry flavors are lifted by tangy acidity and are given a bitter edge by a late note of licorice. Refreshing, fat-free shiraz with good closing cut."

2009-10 / road signs, bolts, nuts, washers, lacquer
Taking cues from origami and modern design, these crisp little fruit bowls are made from vintage Alabama road signs and license plates. Form created by only cutting, bending, and bolting -- an almost waste-free process. The bends are secured with #10 machine bolts. The legs are made from 1/4" carriage bolts, head-down for smooth contact with counter top or table. The body of the sign is 1/8" solid aluminum, and will never rust or deteriorate. Sprayed with several coats of metal lacquer, which seals and and protects the painted surface.

This past year, she appeared in Life As We Know It and in the New York Philharmonic Concert production of Company. Hendricks has two films out today—the Boston mommy comedy I Don't Know How She Does It and the action-packed Drive. Hmmm, wonder which one we'll be seeing...

Special Requests: Can you put more than one pic of E&B?
Thank you for offering to do a banner!!
Please update me when you start this. I can't wait to see what happens.
Thanks and BiG EDWARD HUGS
Ch. 1
"Hey baby Bells!" Said my best friend Edward. I've had a crush on Edward since I was in seventh grade. He is nineteen and two years older than me. We met when my brother, Emmett got put on the football team. Edward has bronze colored hair, sparkling green eyes, and the most angelic face you have ever seen.
"How many times have I told you to not call me baby Bells, Eddie?" I hated the nickname baby Bells and he hates Eddie as a nickname.
Edward's face grew red in anger, then he came at me, tackling me to the ground. His hands found my sides, tickling me. I squealed.
"MERCY, MERCY!" I yelled out. He stopped at once, and jumped up, handing out a hand for me, I gladly took it.
"How's Tanya?" I asked, with distaste. Edward knew how much I hated Tanya, but he didn't know why. And I'm not going to tell him unless I have to. Tanya is Edward's fiancee.
"She's fine, as far as I know. She's out with her mom in Paris looking for the perfect wedding dress." He winced.
"Why are you marrying her?" I questioned softly. He sighed loudly.
"I don't even know anymore. At first, I thought I loved her, but she getting meaner by the day, it seems." He said. I knew exactly what he meant by that. When I first met Tanya, she was nice, but when Edward left my house one day, she said I better stay away from him; She kicked me in the gut once and left. I didn't care; I had to stay with Edward. I smiled slightly.
Tanya showed up at the door like she owned the place at that moment.
"Hey babe, what are you doing here?" Tanya asked sweetly. I gagged silently. She caught that, she narrowed her eyes at me.
"I was with Bella. I thought you were supposed to be with your mom in Paris." Edward said, using his fake sweet voice.
"We decided to go to Seattle, we found the perfect dress online, we're going to see it next week." She said harshly. I knew what that meant. Don't go see Bella. Edward knew to because he sighed.
"Ok well, I have to go now, and Eddie? Your mom wants to see you."
"Ok, Bye baby Bells."
"Bye Edward." I said solemnly.
Tanya gave me a look that said I better be here tonight. Great another private sesson, and more bruises to hide.
Just like that, they were both gone.

Did you know that in 1885, Atlanta had 118 saloons in the city doing $2 million of business annually?
In their book, "Atlanta Beer: A Heady History of Brewing in the Hub of the South" (American Palate, $19.99), Ron Smith and Mary O. Boyle delve into a colorful past that begins in frontier times and extends to the stories of early taverns and saloons, religious zeal, prohibition and the roots of the current craft beer boom.
There are tales of places such as Whitehall Tavern, which existed before the city of Atlanta, and people such as Mayor Moses W. Formwalt, a member of the Free and Rowdy political party, who opened the first recorded Atlanta saloon.
Early pre-Prohibition breweries include the Fulton Brewery, which produced lager and ale for the Fulton Brewery Saloon; the Atlanta Steam Brewery, which may have been named for both the method of cooling and the style of beer it produced; and the Georgia Spring Brewery, famous for its saloon, not to mention shooting gallery, Ferris wheel and small lake with boats.
Covering more recent history, in 1958, Canada-based Carling opened a $15 million dollar brewery in Atlanta that remained until 1972, when it was sold to Coca-Cola.
After Carling closed, no locally produced beer could be found in Atlanta for more than two decades, until Marthasville Brewing Co. and Atlanta Brewing Co. opened the first microbreweries here in 1993. Of course, many more breweries, like Sweetwater, and brewpubs, like Five Seasons, followed.
I recently caught up with Smith and Boyle at Five Seasons Westside, where they were hosting a book release party attended by fellow beer lovers and brewer Crawford Moran, who wrote the foreword to "Atlanta Beer"
Moran rightly noted that most of us think that brewing in Atlanta "is just in its infancy." But the book reminds us that "it does have a legacy."
Smith, a biologist who works for an environmental consulting firm, and Boyle, who is an IT consultant and designs handcrafted jewelry, said the book grew out of the couple's Beer Guru Atlanta website.
He writes the posts with a focus on the backstory of Atlanta's beer-drinking history. She's the webmaster and helps with research and editing.
"The history is what captures my imagination," Smith said. "I'm mostly interested in the story behind the beer."
Asked if there were any major revelations during their research, Smith said he was surprised by the number of breweries that were operating in pre-prohibition Atlanta.
"The other thing was the saloons," he said. "There were hundreds and this wasn't a very big town at that point."
Considering all the new breweries in the planning stages or set to open in Atlanta soon, I wondered if they found it difficult to wrap up the book and meet their deadline.
"Ultimately, we just had to get it submitted," Boyle said. "But this was never meant to be an encyclopedia. We were trying to get the flavor of what had happened and what is happening now."
Smith and Boyle said they plan to share more stories, interviews and photographs on their blog: www.beerguruatl.com.

Any mention in the book of two contract brewing companies that popped up in 1989? They were Friends Brewing Company and Wild Boar. Friends brewed Helenboch and Helenboch Octoberfest and a few seasonals. They were around for about 10 years finally opening a brewery in Helen, GA. Wild Boar had only one beer out that I know of – Wild Boar, and were around for a few years.

I came across this term advanced cardiovascular life support few months before while searching about various heart diseases and their different treatments. After reading few articles about them I got pretty interested in this subject and tried knowing more about it. Having internet pays off – you can actually search day and night on anything which catches your eyes and interests your attention.
No matter what you are interested to know, World Wide Web and the various search engines will give you the solution to your every problem, the answer to your every question. And I was no different. Soon I got numerous websites dedicated to advanced cardiovascular life support and its related fields. I read more and more about this topic and to be honest was quite fascinated about it. Let me share with you all that I have learnt about this new and advanced cardiac life support system in this article.
What is advanced cardiovascular life support?
Many of you must be wondering from the beginning of the article what the hell I am talking about – what is the meaning of advanced cardiac life support? Sorry to keep all the readers waiting, I was just waiting for the proper time to explain this and now the time is perfect to convey to you the real meaning of this technically superior system which deals with life support system for patients dealing with cardiovascular problems.
Many people all around the world dies of strokes, heart attacks, cardiac arrest and so many different diseases dealing with the human heart and cardiovascular muscles. Advanced cardiovascular life support, which is also known as ACLS as its short form is an arrangement of medical intervention which aims towards the urgent treatment and cure of several heart-oriented diseases with cardiac arrest and strokes being the most common ones. Advanced cardiovascular life support falls under the category of immediate medical supervision in case of life-threatening and highly risky medical conditions.
In the United Kingdom the medical teams of most hospitals and nursing homes follow parallel medical protocol which is known as the 'advanced life support' to save the life of the people which are suffering from life-threatening cardiovascular medical complications and are in dire need of urgent treatment. ACLS online program is recently available to all the candidates who want to grow their career in the medicine industry and become successful nurses and doctors.
Who are the people who can provide advanced cardiac life support assistance?
To provide advanced cardiovascular life support you have to complete a certification course on ACLS online. You have to be a medical professional to get this certificate and perform advanced cardiovascular life support on patients during emergency cases. You mainly have to deal with few very specific areas in the patient's body especially managing the air route of the patient's body. Few of the other tasks which need to be done are to read the electrocardiograms and interpret them correctly and starting the process of IV entrance along with fully being aware of the emergency pharmacology.
You can only perform these tasks if you have the required medical knowledge and education and a certificate of advanced cardiovascular life support. The people who are actually authorized to perform advanced cardiac life support are pharmacists (PharmDs), physicians both MDs and DOs, advanced practice providers – PAs and NPs, dentists both DDS along with DMDs, paramedics who are EMT-Ps, AEMT who are more commonly known as the advanced emergency medical technicians, residential nurses , and respiratory therapists popularly termed as RTs. Any outsider can also be trained to be authorized to perform such high level procedures but it is mandatory for him to get an ACLS online certificate.

Happy holidays from the ASPCA! »
Awwww, so cute. Adorbs, if I may say so. Let's watch cute videos all day!
I have a soft spot for the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals because that's where I got both my cat and my dog. What I REALLY wanted to post today was a new ASPCA commercial I saw starring Roberta Flack! It's another one of those super-depressing commercials where they show the shivering puppies behind bars. Sad face. I can't really handle those commercials, for real. But this time, the commercial is with Roberta Flack! Roberta Flack and cute sad animals—the ASPCA is trying to kill me! Keep an eye out for it.

Adopt a Giants-loving kitty for $9! »
Even though the Giants totally blow and the Phillies have a way better typeface, I am happy to report that the Peninsula Humane Society and SPCA in exotic San Mateo is having a special adoption rate for kitties with the Giant's team colors. That RULES! Just like when the Philadelphia Flyers did this four months ago. So even though the Giants are going down, this is an excellent time to get a kitty and show your team pride! Even if your team is a bunch of jerks!*
You have through Sunday, Oct. 31 to adopt your black or orange kitty for $9. Do it and send me pictures!

SPCA kitty portraits! »
Kira Stackhouse is an SF-based photographer who does super-great pet portraits! Yay pet portraits! She also volunteers her camera abilities to give weekly photo updates of the kitties available at the SF SPCA. If there's one thing I love more than cute animal pictures, it's cute adoptable-animal pictures!
How tough is Joseph? Hint: SO TOUGH. He's like, "Oh, look at this wise guy wit the camera ovah here. Frickin' hilarious." And Cheddar needs to get in my purse like right now.
Kira also has a line of dog clothes that are made entirely from vintage people clothes. Figaro does not yet own one of these originals but if she ever makes a Yuengling one, holler at your girl!

Animal-free circuses don't blow! »
I recently wrote a lil' rant about how much I hate circuses and I damn near broke Vegansaur Steve's heart! As he points out:
It really sucks that "circus" automatically makes people think of animals, because there's a lot of really great circus performance here in SF (along with Circus Center if you want to become a circus freak yourself) and none of it has anything to do with animals.
He's right, there are some great animal-free circuses! And like he mentions, some animal-free circus schools too. The SPCA, Humane Society, PETA, and Born Free USA all have lists of animal-free circuses! Like Steve mentioned, in San Francisco there's the Circus Center, where you can take classes and be a clown! There's also a drop-in trapeze class. A DROP-IN TRAPEZE CLASS! I assume there's a prerequisite but still, you can roll up and be like, "I wanna fly, motherfuckers!" The Circus Center is also home to the New Pickle Circus, formerly the Pickle Family Circus, founded in San Francisco in 1974. Bonus: The Circus Center is having some sort of showcase at the end of August! You should totally go and send me pictures!
There are also some smaller circus acts in the area that can be hired for fundraisers and other events like The Earth Circus in Half Moon Bay. There's another one based out of 522 Haight St., Circus Finelli. I love this description from PETA: "Four unruly women clowns present a Slavic, slapstick cabaret with daring comedy and dangerous cutlery." There are more schools too, like Trapeze Arts and the Kinetic Arts Center, both in Oakland. More proof Oakland is full of circus freaks. Just kidding! No I'm not!

How to help the other animals affected by the BP oil spill »
Get ready for a downer. A CNN corespondent visited the Louisiana SPCA to see the other side of the BP oil spill's effect on animals. There's been a huge surge of pets surrendered to Louisiana animal shelters because families who've been hit hard financially by the oil spill can no longer afford to care for them. One rescue, the St. Bernard Parish animal shelter, saw 17 dogs surrendered by their owners in June, 2009; this year they had 127 dogs surrendered in June. Fucking A. The SPCA is calling for BP to start chipping in to help families keep their pets. They are also offering free veterinary care for people in the fishing industry in certain coastal regions. If you want to help out, you can donate money to this effort on the Louisiana SPCA website. The St. Bernard Parish animal shelter is also calling for volunteers. Everybody is looking for more foster homes as shelters are at capacity.
Another organization getting involved is the Animal Rescue of New Orleans, a rescue formed to help animals affected by Katrina. As a no-kill shelter, they have people driving all the way to their shelter near New Orleans to surrender their pets in the hopes they won't be put down before they can find new homes. This little white dog is Chloe, she was surrendered and required surgery to remove bladder stones. With people barely able to provide for their healthy pets, pets that need expensive medical care are probably screwed. ARNO is also trying to keep pets in their homes with their Pet Retention Program. This program helps low income and unemployed people keep their pets by paying for their care. They are in dire needs of funds right now and you can donate (with paypal!) here.
Another, more fun way to help is to sponsor an animal. On the Plaquemines Animal Welfare Society's website, you can sponsor an animal and they will even send you a cute picture of "your" animal like this one to the right. I think sponsoring animals is a great way for kids to get involved in rescue efforts. They get a pet by-proxy and they also learn about the realities homeless pets as opposed to pet shops selling animals.
There's an interesting personal account of a visit to the St. Bernard Parish animal shelter on the blog ohmidog. You have to scroll to the bottom as it was a stop on a road trip. The writer discusses the conditions of the shelter as well as disaster economics.
That's all for today. I don't have any good jokes because I am sad. It's sad that the pets don't have homes, it's also sad that people don't have their pets anymore. Pets are good for you!

Awesome people doing awesome things for animals: Sacramento's Brooke Byrd! »
Vegansaurus loves food! And yelling about injustice! And telling you how you can help fight injustice, especially through food! We also love—no to the DUH—animals, and the people who love to help them! That's why today we're bringing you an interview with one such volunteer, Brooke Byrd!
Vegansaurus: What are the Apawstrophes?
Brooke Byrd: The Apawstrophes is my team for the Sacramento SPCA's annual Doggie Dash fundraiser. The team name is a play on my love for both grammar and animals, and my constant desire to mix the two (The Catastrophes was a close second, and would also be my roller derby name). So far the team is just me and a few close friends (plus some other random animal-lover I've never met). We're raising money and pet supplies!
How did you get involved in this?
In November I started volunteering for the Sacramento SPCA, and I know first-hand the high volume of animals that come through. As a nonprofit, the SPCA relies entirely on donations through events like the Doggie Dash to take care of all the critters it houses.
How can other people get involved?
Find your local SPCA or animal shelter (donating directly to the local facility will put funds where they're needed on the ground) and donate supplies, money or time. Most shelters are always in need of blankets and towels, and toys, treats, office supplies, etc. are always appreciated. Most shelters have volunteer programs as well—be prepared to dedicate some time to training.
How long have you been volunteering for animals? Do you do any other volunteer work, or are you exclusively animal-oriented?
I've only been at the [Sacramento] SPCA since November, but in college volunteered at the California Raptor Center in Davis. I'm also dedicated to the cause of marriage equality, and spend time at Equality California headquarters nearly every week-–if you're in Sacramento and signed a petition at some time, I've probably called you. I also spend time as an escort at Planned Parenthood when needed.
You love animals—tell us about your current menagerie.
Currently I have three cats, one of which has developed a recent habit of enthusiastically vomiting on my carpet; two snakes named when I was first reading Harry Potter (Sly & Gryff); and a Tokay gecko named Spike who barks & hisses. Spike's a girl, btw. I've also had a hedgehog named Puck and leopard geckos, and my parents currently house our family horses and dog.
What's the deal with Sacramento—is it really terrible, or are there hidden treasures? Are there secrets animal lovers should know about it?
Sacramento, especially the midtown area, is changing pretty rapidly—for the better. We've got some pretty awesome little stores (Sugar Shack!) and restaurants, and the whole town is thoroughly saturated in Gold Rush-era history. It may not be your thing, but it's still pretty cool to know about. And, it's always amusing to watch tourists in knee socks and sandals taking a carriage ride through Old Sacramento. There's also almost always something to do—concerts in the park and farmer's markets everywhere, plus they even celebrated the first-ever Sacramento Beer Week in February. The Amgen Tour of California just happened in mid-May. Sac is also pretty perfectly placed-–less than two hours to Lake Tahoe, San Francisco, wine country & Northern California.
And, while I'm not a big fan of veggies, Sac surprisingly has quite a few vegan/vegetarian options—there's a food cart in downtown that has awesome eggplant, and Sugar Plum Vegan Café is also popular (the bakery looks awesome) [Ed: it is!].
As an employee of a California tourism organization, what about the state is especially awesome for animals? Animal-lovers?
Sacramento has tons of dog parks—my friend is obsessive mommy to a puggle and I swear she visits a different one every weekend. There are also tons of cafes and restaurants with outdoor seating, where pets are welcome.
For animal lovers, there are some amazing local spots to check out wildlife—rafting down the American River or hiking the Yolo Basin. We're also close to Davis and the Raptor Center, which rehabilitates hawks, eagles and owls, but also has some resident creatures. And, if you don't mind zoos, the Sacramento Zoo recently opened a majorly renovated giraffe exhibit with a huge raised deck.
What else should I have asked you that I didn't?
How I handle sitting at work all day without any animals. The answer: Cute Overload, and my Cute Overload daily calendar, with which I have wallpapered my cubicle [Ed: check out Oct. 1!].
Thanks, Brooke! Good luck next week!
Hey pals! Are you doing something great for animals that Vegansaurus readers should know about? Get it touch! Maybe you're cleaning birds on the Gulf Coast; maybe you foster rabbits for SaveABunny; maybe you draft legislation to keep people from shooting at animals from helicopters with automatic weapons—you're great, and we want to hear from you.

Vegan action alert: Solano County SPCA needs help RIGHT NOW!! »
Hey Vegansaurus readers! Eve at the SF Appeal calls our attention to a serious situation at the Solano County SPCA! On Thursday, Dec. 17, 83 puppies were rescued from California Pets & Supply in Dixon, which appears to have been a front for a pretty big puppy mill operation. The shelter presently has 100 total dogs and puppies from that rescue operation, some as young as six weeks old, and is in dire need of supplies and money.
The SCSPCA requests the following
Cleaning Supplies
Simple Green
scrub brushes
newspaper (without shiny ads)
large trash bags
gloves (latex or non-latex)
shop vac
Puppy Care
blankets, towels, sheets, &c.
carpet squares
puppy shampoo
puppy food (Kirkland brand from Costco, or Healthwise)
puppy toys (used is fine as long as they are clean)
food and water dishes, preferably that can clip to the side of a kennel
water bottles (rabbit-cage size)
Polar fleece
heating pads
laundry detergent
dish soap
crates/kennels of any size
gift certificates to any pet store, Costco or Sam's Club
Bring these supplies to the SCSPCA at 2200 Peabody Rd. in Vacaville, or donate online. For further information, call 707.448.7722 or email.
[Ed. note: Of course, give your conscience; if you aren't comfortable donating non-vegan items, choose other things! It's most important to help out these poor, sick, little baby puppies, right? Of course it is.]

And God Did Say, Let There be Kittens! »
Sorry Jews and other non-Christian minorities, it's Christmastime once again. You would know this if you've been to Union Square lately—the Christmas spirit is all up in that mofo! And while living by Union Square is a foot-traffic bonanza year-round, it just doesn't bother me as much when there's ice-skating to be done and roasted chestnuts to be had (which are GOOD. Jerks.). My favorite part of it all…the kittens and puppies!
Every year, the Macy's windows on the corner of Stockton and O'Farrell here in San Francisco are taken over by the SPCA. They fill them with weird miniature woodland furniture and throw in a few puppies and kittens in each window and let the magic happen (NOOO! I just mean magic like people fall in love with them. Jeez, to neuter is cuter.). If you go by in the evening, you'll see many "adopted" signs in the windows—most of them get adopted before the end of the day.
I love these damn puppies and kittens with their wacky elfin furniture! I take Figaro down to look at them about everyday until it's over. He's an SPCA alumnus so he's basically the goodwill ambassador for shelter animals. Sometimes a puppy will come up to the window to look at Fig and it's kind of the cute Olympics. Quite a crowd-pleaser!
But there is one thing that I can't help but think about: isn't impulse-shopping a big no-no when it comes to pets? I feel like not only do most animal-welfare organizations warn against getting pets on a whim, a lot of them are like, "Don't buy pets for birthdays! Or Christmas! Or Easter! Or anytime fun!" So having cute-ass little puppies in the windows of a department store in the center of the shopping Mecca at Christmas seems like…well, a genius idea! But one that could end in buyer's remorse and a lot of homeless slightly older pups. Fortunately, while adopters can submit applications and lay claim to the bitty pets, they have to wait a day or two before they can bring them home—so anyone being super-impulsive has a chance to abandon ship.
SPCA representatives are on-hand to answer your questions and collect donations. AND GUESS WHAT ELSE! There's a WEBCAM! It's totally SFW, btw.
[Ed.: Please welcome a new Vegansaurus regular, the fantastic Megan Rascal! Megan Rascal moved to San Francisco all the way from Philly to study copywriting. She also moonlights as DJ My Lil' Pony, everyone's favorite dancing DJ. She loves her adopted dog Figaro, peanut butter, and garage rock.

Hence, the 2007 the regulation enacted by the Republic of Indonesia contains provisions relating to control over public funds. However, the required level of accountability in public expenditure has not been achieved by some churches in Bali. The situation has remained worrisome even though the region does not lack in appropriate laws and regulation required to bring rationality into the system.

With a focus on a dedication to athletes who are passionate about the exhilaration and challenge of sport, CWX Performance Condition Wear is a Japanese company, beginning global distribution of the technically advanced running and sports apparel and the world's best sports bras in 1991.
Combining in-depth scientific knowledge of human anatomy and a rich history in complex material fabrications and apparel design, CW-x designs, manufactures and distributes the world's first anatomically-engineered high performance sports clothing and apparel for both men and women.
Before making claims of performance for CW-X product, CWX product engineers and scientists performed a number of studies. In Kyoto Japan scientists measured electrical pulse activity of human muscles while engaged in activity. The tests revealed that unsupported or partially support leg muscles quickly showed signs of fatigue, while muscles supported by CW-X showed greatly reduced fatigue. A study in France measuring VO2 oxygen uptake levels showed that runners wearing CW-X Conditioning Tights have 26% to 36% lower oxygen usage compared to runners wearing regular tights. The lower oxygen usage indicated lower energy expenditure while wearing the CW-X tights.
Time and time again, CWX tights, shorts, running tights, sports bras, bike pants, and baselayers have been proven to reduce fatigue, increase endurance, and heighten the athletic performance of athletes.
Some of the most popular CWX Mens and Womens Performance Wear Styles include:

Bioshelter Market Garden
A Permaculture Farm
by Darrell Frey
To ensure food security and restore the health of the planet, we need to move beyond industrial agriculture and return to the practice of small-scale, local farming. The Bioshelter Market Garden: A Permaculture Farm describes the creation of a sustainable food system through a detailed case study of the successful year-round organic market garden and permaculture design at PennsylvaniaÂ's Three Sisters Farm.
At the heart of Three Sisters is its bioshelter — a solar greenhouse which integrates growing facilities, poultry housing, a potting room, storage, kitchen facilities, compost bins, a reference library and classroom area. The Bioshelter Market Garden examines how the bioshelter promotes greaterbiodiversity and is an energy efficient method of extending crop production through Pennsylvania's cold winter months.
Both visionary and practical, this fully illustrated book contains a wealth of information on the application of permaculture principles. Some of the topics covered include:
- Design and management of an intensive market garden farm
- Energy systems and bio-thermal resources
- Ecological soil management and pest control
- Wetlands usage
- Solar greenhouse design and management.
Whatever your gardening experience and ambitions, this comprehensive manual is sure to inform and inspire.
