A few changes were made to the lineup due to bands dropping out and alternates needing to be used:
- Nathan K. will be on tour with Stepdad and will no longer be able to join us. Andrew Price is taking his place.
- Jetpack On!'s members live all over the country now, so we're having Benthos jump on in their spot.
- Wavvy Hands are not a band any longer, but their friends Ugly Broads were next on the list of alternates, so it's only natural that they take their spot.

Okay, so Penn State got the almost-death penalty and its football program is more than decimated, it's obliterated. Well deserved.
But does anyone REALLY think the culture, as some have suggested, is going to change? Oh, sure, for a time — maybe six months, maybe a year — the money monster that is college football may go a bit slower. But by the time the 2013 season rolls around we'll venture to say college football will be right back where it was before the Jerry Sandusky thing hit the fan.

When I saw the trailer for LOCKOUT before it hit theaters I thought it looked interesting but not enough for me to shell out the $8 for a matinee ticket. Actually, there are few movies these days that make me feel that way.
So I'm happy to report that the movie, just released on DVD, is well worth that $8 and more. No, it's not LAWRENCE OF ARABIA but it does offer plenty of entertainment for your money.
The Olympics are drawing near but rather than soil the games with my thoughts before anything actually happens, I thought I'd write about another love of mine that is drawing near…FANTASY FOOTBALL!
I know that some of you may not share my love for this fictional sport and maybe even think it's just plain silly but I think that it's a step up from having an imaginary friend seeing as how you use actual athletes and you play against actual people.

That a storm which ripped through here on June 29 caused widespread damage is well-known. What isn't known but to only a few people is the tale of the "storm" which hit the communications center in the county jail that day, due to the storm outside.
The comm center received 915 calls via the 911 lines. No, that's not a typo: 915 calls. Nine hundred and fifteen.

Nicolas Cage has made some great movies and some bad. The sad truth is that lately he's made more mediocre films than ever. Perhaps that's because he's been making them at such a frantic pace; or at least it seems that way. In any event his latest thrille,r SEEKING JUSTICE, offers a decent night's entertainment but still finds itself in that so-so stack of Cage films.
With the Olympics looming, baseball in full swing, and football on the horizon, the one sign that NBA basketball is relevant again for the first time since Jordan? Sports fans are still talking about it…
I'm sure that once the dust settles on the free agency, we'll all be focused on the torch finally making it to Olympic Stadium on July 27, day 70. It seems like it takes longer and longer for the runners to make their way to their final destination every four years…
I digress.
I took a stab at coaching baseball this little league season and I saw a lot of things that amazed me, some that brought back memories, and some things that my group of guys did that was just plain silly this summer. I really loved the chance to get to educate some kids on America's past time and I look forward to coaching again next season.
While thinking about what I would write for this week's Chillin, I saw a lot of great fireworks and that got me to thinking...
What comes to mind when I think about Independence Day is a lot of explosions and fire. I took a look in the sports history archives to try and find some "Independence Day-esque" sports performances...

• As Dwayne Skaggs is finally doing some work on his sweeper shop in Bluffton, officials in Decatur are hoping to get a new contractor to take down his former sweeper shop here.
The process has been slowed by the fact that the first person who won the contract with a low bid later backed out. So new bids are scheduled to be taken next Tuesday by the city, which now owns the building.

Multifamily professionals have an excellent opportunity to learn how to incorporate green building principles in their projects at the 2013 GreenBuild Expo November 20-22.
A key feature of this year's conference is the two-day Affordable Housing Summit. The affordable housing industry has been at the vanguard of the green movement for many years, way ahead of its market-rate brethren. But as more sectors of the multifamily industry seek certification, developers and contractors can learn from the experiences of other professionals in this series of eight targeted seminars.
Several main conference sessions of particular interest to the industry include:
Insights on Multifamily Benchmarking from EPA and Fannie Mae: A long-time common practice in commercial buildings, benchmarking through the Energy Star portfolio manager is in the process of being adapted to multifamily housing. Future high-rise LEED for Homes projects will be required to use portfolio manager, so the time to learn about this important industry development is now.
Developers Speak: Effective and Successful Green Multifamily: Representatives from AMLI and the Dinerstein Companies will discuss how they have cracked the code on cost-effective multifamily development. They will provide insight into how they build green, challenges they have overcome, and how green certification assists in funding and improves long-term property value.
Ventilate Multifamily Buildings Successfully in Eight Steps: Experienced building scientists from Steven Winter Associates and O'Brien and Company will explain how meeting LEED and ASHRAE requirements helps keep indoor air quality high without sacrificing budgets or energy savings. This session will include a town hall discussion of the subject and a weblink to supplemental materials for concurrent viewing.
High-rise Residential Trends and Strategies for Success: This session will cover a wide range of issues involving high-rise green certification including systems and technologies, market direction, and connections between various programs.
Wrangling the White Elephant: Reuse Spurring Revitalization: The conversion of a 1927 hospital into a LEED Gold senior housing project is the subject of this session. Members of the project team will share their experience in overcoming the numerous challenges in this complex project.
Additional subjects of interest to the multifamily industry include sessions on renewable energy, energy retrofits, sustainable neighborhood development, and tours of local projects to see their successes first hand.
In addition, there is an incredibly large trade show floor with thousands of exhibitors and high-powered speakers and entertainment. The opening night party includes Hillary Clinton and Bon Jovi, and the closing plenary will be given by Nate Silver, a true geek's geek who successfully predicted the 2008 and 2012 presidential election results.

Creating WOBI, a brand aligned with its market
HSM brings a World of Business Ideas online
HSM is a company known throughout the world as a leader in developing events and media for people who are shaping the business world. In addition to magazines and TV channels, the company brings the world's top executives together for the World Business Forum—a platform "to expand, connect, unite, distribute and multiply ideas" and a global meeting point for those who "strive to create, grow and accomplish."
Instigated by the emergence of the digital era, the style and dynamics of business and management have taken on a new format in recent years. Faced with this new scenario, HSM realized an urgent need to adapt not only its business to this new world but also its internal aspects, its employees, organizational strategies, and processes of work.
Interbrand worked fiercely to transition the company into the new playing field. The task required the creation of a brand appropriate to new era and the development of a brand strategy that would be completely different from the one used to date—one that would help the company bring its content online in a consistent, relevant and successful way.
To accomplish these objectives, Interbrand developed a new brand platform that was clearly oriented toward communicating with a new generation and established a mission for the brand: offering "transformative experiences" for current and future leaders of the business world. After a year of strategic work, the business-focused online portal, World of Business Ideas (WOBI ), was born.
We completed a total process of branding, from the design of the brand strategy—platform and architecture—to the creation of the brand, including naming, visual identity, a system of signatures, and editorial design of a brochure and magazine covers.

Is McDonald's a Buy?
Bob is a member of The Motley Fool Blog Network -- entries represent the personal opinion of the blogger and are not formally edited.
Fast food giant McDonald's (NYSE: MCD) almost needs no introduction. Those golden arches speak for themselves, and the company holds one of the most universally known and most valuable brands in the world.
After a disappointing stock price performance in 2012, McDonald's is back to its winning ways, having gained 11% so far this year. Is there more upside potential for investors to savor?
Resilient performance in a difficult environment
McDonald's same-store sales have seen some volatility in recent months, particularly in the U.S. where the payroll tax hike and frustratingly slow improvement in the labor market have served as body blows to the company's key customer base.
Add to that the ongoing fiscal calamity in Europe, and you'd think McDonald's was a stock worth shorting. Indeed, the company's global same-store sales declined in January (by 1.9%), in February (by 1.5%), and again in April (by 0.6%).
However, the company got its financial house in order, reporting global comparable sales growth of 2.6% in May.
Close rival Burger King (NYSE: BKS) has had its own fair share of struggles in recent quarters. The company's full-year 2012 sales dropped 15%.
The disappointing performance extended into the first quarter of the current fiscal year. Total revenue fell a massive 42% versus the same quarter the year prior.
On the plus side, the company has increased its dividend for two consecutive quarters. That being said, the stock yields just 1.1% at recent prices.
International expansion is a key tailwind
Investors needn't concern themselves about McDonalds' sagging same-store sales, because there's still plenty of room for growth in the form of international expansion. McDonald's has identified new avenues for growth all across the globe, particularly in the emerging markets, where expanding middle classes mean millions of potential new customers.
In that vein, I'd point investors to the company's plans for China. McDonald's has put huge efforts into developing its operations there. McDonald's is currently executing on its plan to open 225 to 250 new restaurants every year until it reaches its stated goal of 2,000 restaurants in China by the end of this year.
Moreover, the company has now targeted growth through an additional member nation of the BRIC countries: Russia. McDonald's has 357 restaurants in more than 85 Russian cities, with plans to open at least 150 self-operated restaurants in Russia over the next three years.
This is one key advantage I believe McDonald's has over smaller rival Wendy's (NASDAQ: WEN), because Wendy's does not yet have significant international operations outside of North America. At the end of 2012, Wendy's had 374 franchised restaurants in 26 countries and territories outside of North America. That represents just 5% of the company's total restaurant system.
In the company's 10-K, Wendy's management described its efforts toward international expansion as "aggressive, yet responsible." Management points to several initiatives for international growth, including Singapore, the Middle East, North Africa, and Japan.
While these are encouraging developments, Wendy's will have a very hard time penetrating the international markets if it does not act soon. The company has already given McDonald's a head start, and once a company gets too far behind the industry leader, it will be extremely difficult to catch up.
Take a bite out of McDonald's
Wendy's and Burger King are both profitable companies that pay dividends to shareholders, but in the saturated fast food industry, go with the leader. McDonald's has over 34,000 locations serving more than 69 million people each and every day. Moreover, McDonald's has a market capitalization greater than its two peers combined, and has the financial prowess to beat back its competition in the company's key target markets going forward. In short, what McDonald's wants, McDonald's will get.
McDonald's is also a leader in the realm of shareholder rewards. The company returned $1.1 billion to shareholders in the first quarter alone, through a combination of dividend payments and share buybacks. McDonald's has increased its dividend every year since its first dividend payment in 1976.
In an investing environment where safe high-yielding stocks are hard to come by, McDonald's pays 3.1%, better than Wendy's and Burger King, and also greater than the 2% yield available on the broader market. In addition, McDonald's will almost certainly increase its dividend again next month, as it does every year.
As a result, investors should feel very confident in making McDonald's a core portfolio holding, and should take any dip in the stock price as a welcome buying opportunity.
McDonald's turned in a dismal year in 2012, underperforming the broader market by 25%. Looking ahead, can the Golden Arches reclaim its throne atop the restaurant industry, or will this unsettling trend continue?

The Jai Vilas Mahal or The Jai Vilas Palace is one of India's most grandiose nineteenth-century palaces. It was built in 1875 by H. H. Maharaja Jayaji Rao Scindia (Shinde), the Maharaja of Gwalior and to this day remains the residence of the former royal Maratha family – The Scindias (Shindes)
In 1875, Maharaja Jayaji Rao Scindia dispatched his friend Colonel Michael Filose on a grand tour of Europe to seek inspiration. Filose returned with a vast shipment of furniture, fabric, paintings, tapestries and cut glass, together with the blueprints for a building that borrowed heavily from Buckingham Palace, Versailles, and Greek ruins and Italian-Baroque stately homes. The result is a blend of Doric, Tuscan and Corinthian architecture.
A part of the palace has been converted into a museum and the eye catching treasures in the same include a silver toy train used by His Highness Jayaji Rao Scindia to dispense brandy and cigars after dinner, a glass cradle from Italy used for the baby Krishna on each Janmashtami, silver dinner services and swords that were once worn by Emperors Aurangzeb and Shah Jahan. The museum offers an unparalleled glimpse into the rich culture and lifestyle of princely India and royalty of the powerful Maratha Dynasty.
Visiting Hours:
Jai Vilas Palace is open on six days of week from 10.00 AM to 5.00 PM. It is closed on Wednesday. It is open on Diwali Festival day but closed on Bhai Dooj i.e. two days after Diwali. For Indians the cost of ticket is Rs 60 and a child is charged full.

Blue Book® Suggested Retail Value
Fuel Economy (city/hwy)
Review: 2008 Chevrolet Corvette
This 2008 review is representative of model years 2005 to 2013.
By Dan Jedlicka of MSN Autos
Bottom Line:
More power and improved steering help keep the latest Corvette an outstanding performance bargain.
The 2008 Chevrolet Corvette's larger base 430-horsepower V8 isn't what the car realistically needs because the 2007 model had more than enough sizzle with 400 horsepower than typical Corvette buyers needed.
The Vette's new V8 has been enlarged from 6 liters to 6.2 liters and also produces more torque than the car's 2007 V8. It can be ordered with a $1,195 "dual-mode" exhaust system that lets horsepower climb to 436. The added power is from an exhaust that bypasses the quieter of two passage through the mufflers.
Unlike the overhead-camshaft engines in most rivals, the Corvette V8 has a pushrod design, although it's an advanced one and is less complicated than an overhead-cam engine.
Ultimate Corvette
The Z06 is less comfortable than a regular 'Vette, feeling much like a race-ready street car with a higher-performance suspension that provides a stiffer ride, uprated brakes and unusually large, wide tires for a street machine.
Two Regular Trim Levels
The Z06 originally started out as a lower-cost Corvette that would be within reach of working class folks, which was the case with 1960s and 1970s 'Vettes. But Chevy was selling so many high-profit regular Corvettes when considering a low-cost, entry level version several years ago, it figured it would shoot the works and opt for an even more expensive, higher-horsepower version. Hence, the first Z06.
No lower-cost, entry level 'Vette looks like it's on the horizon. Instead, a more powerful Corvette than the Z06 is reportedly in the works to battle lower-production rivals such as the $83,895 Dodge Viper, which has an 8.4-liter V10 engine with 600-horsepower.
Corvette rivals keep adding power, so Chevy must figure it has to do the same.
The Corvette got a major redesign for 2005, so the only exterior difference between the 2007 and new Corvettes are new wheels. But there are major mechanical differences, which help make the car feel more refined.
Improved Steering And Shifting
The interior has been upgraded and can be given a real uptown look with the (gulp!) $8,005 (hatchback) and $8,600 (convertible) 4LT Preferred Equipment Group. This upscale interior—also offered for the Z06 in the $6,545 3LZ Preferred Equipment Group— has finely stitched 2-tone leather on the dashboard, door panels and seats, along with unique interior trim.
Options Escalate Price
You might figure that a power tilt/telescopic wheel would be standard in a $45,000-plus car. And side air bags (standard on the convertible) shouldn't be in a costly option package. (You can get them for the coupe in a $1,496 option package that also has perforated leather upholstery and a 6-way power passenger seat.)
My test car also had a $1,695 "Z51" Performance Package, with larger cross-drilled brake rotors and a performance-tuned (spell "firmer") suspension, which didn't affect the comfortable ride much.
Then there were the $1,295 polished aluminum wheels, $750 removable transparent roof panel and that power-enhancing dual-mode exhaust. How many Corvette owners really need the special exhaust for that 6 extra horsepower?
Extras Not Really Needed
Automatic Favored
The standard suspension is fine for fast, safe driving. So are the regular brakes.
The new Corvette provides decent highway fuel economy for such a high-performance car despite its added power—and lower EPA fuel economy ratings for 2008 cars. It's an estimated 16 mpg in the city and 26 on highways with the manual transmission and 15 and 25 with the automatic. The Z06 comes only with a 6-speed manual and delivers 15 mpg in the city and 24 on highways.
Difficult In And Out
Gauges can be read quickly, and the nicely placed controls are easy to use. But the seats can be improved, and small interior push-button door openers are more gimmicky than practical.
High Trunk Liftover
It's too bad we never saw the proposed lower-cost entry Corvette, but the 2008 model is even more of an outstanding performance bargain.

University News
News and Events Details
Dr. Renée Wachter became UW-Superior's 12th chancellor on July 1. She recently took time to answer some questions about herself, her new job, and her goals for the university.
Question: Why do you want to be chancellor of UW-Superior?
Answer: As I look at my career and the institutions in which I most enjoyed being involved , the three common denominators were:
I found these values in abundance at UW-Superior, a sister school of Truman in the Council of Public Liberal Arts Colleges. I strongly believe that there is no better time than today to be dedicated to an educational experience which equips students to bring new perspectives to solve the thorny, multi-faceted problems which face our regions, our states, our country, and our world. A culture of innovation is critical at a time when the university and the country face challenges which need original applied thinking - outside the box, as it is said. It is my desire as chancellor to build upon the mission of UW-Superior in a way that uses the spirit of innovation to bring these strengths of uncommon educational experience to the diverse populations and communities which it serves.
Q: How would you describe your leadership style?
A: In my experience, successful leadership means that people come first. I believe it is my job to help people to be successful in their undertakings for the organization by empowering them and by giving them the tools necessary to achieve great things. I believe in supporting people to take risks to improve what they do (albeit educated risks) -- one might fail some of the time, but this kind of focus is needed to help bring new perspectives to solve problems and to promote excellence. You can also count on me to have an unwavering focus on doing the right things for the long-term good of the university.
Q: Where would you like to see UW-Superior go in the next several years?
A: UW-Superior has established itself as being on a leading edge in its use of technology to provide accessibility to education - all of this with a strong core of residential undergraduate and graduate programs. As chancellor, I want to build on that tradition. My primary goals are:
I know that there is at present some national skepticism about the quality of higher education. High standards, high expectations, and high graduation rates are a state and national imperative in today's technology- and knowledge-driven economy. Here at UW-Superior, if we accomplish our core mission and can demonstrate quality in doing so, we will never have to be concerned with enrollment or uncertainty about our role or mission. We will be known as an institution which provides all of the advantages of a private education but is accessible at a price that the public can afford.
Q: Are there any particular activities you hope to experience in Superior?
A: My disposition is such that I am open to wide variety of experiences and activities. I can tell you that I am an outdoorsy person; I will do just about anything that gets me outside, including washing the car. I do have a sailboat, Madeline. I'm looking forward to being on this marvelous, superior lake. I imagine that it will be a little more challenging than the reservoir on which I've been accustomed to sailing. I've done white-water rafting but not kayaking - that activity sounds like fun. I know that one popular sport here is ice-fishing, and even though I would likely need a new rod (and much warmer clothes), I wouldn't mind trying my hand to see what I might catch! A good friend of mine is an avid trout fisherman, and I could use a few "ones-that-got-away" stories. In addition, I'm interested in musical groups and local theatre so I would hope to enjoy these kinds of productions.
Q: Are there any particular community groups in which you expect to participate?
A: I have a long history of being involved with Rotary International and with local chambers of commerce as well as with service on non-profit boards. I see what an impact these organizations make in so many facets of their communities. I know that the leadership displayed in these groups is what makes a community able to take advantage of the good times and meet the challenges of the bad. I would hope that I could continue to be a part of these activities when moving to Superior.
Q: Is there anything you would like to say to campus community?
A: I would like to extend my appreciation to all of those people who have already greeted me with warm welcome by note and email. I am very much looking forward to getting to know the campus and community more fully over the next few months. I think that when functioning in higher education, we have the best jobs in the world - we contribute directly to the welfare of our world; we shape minds and create leaders; we challenge and inspire - and UW-Superior is a special place in which to have this happen. I am confident that as we work together toward a common set of goals, we can accomplish great things.

This is an /art/ website after all. Then of course there are two kinds of people.1. Alright, you're right; I'll leave.2. You take great offense.And it's to the people that take offense, in relation to themselves as artist, that I believe should stay. If you are wounded because you've finally been slapped with the painful reality of 'if you suck, then stop doing it', then you have more a reason to stay, in my opinion. You are 1 ou

The Senate Judiciary Committee voted unanimously to approve the nomination of James Comey to be the next director of the FBI.
If confirmed by the full Senate, Comey will replace outgoing director Robert Mueller, who first took over the bureau in 2001. President Obama appointed Comey to the post last month.
"Few positions have as much impact on our liberty and national security as the Director of the FBI," committee chairman Sen. Patrick Leahy, D-Vt, said after the 18-0 vote. "Mr. Comey has had an outstanding career in law enforcement, and if confirmed, I expect he will lead the Bureau with an independent voice. This is a vital national security post, and prompt action has been a priority for the committee."
Comey gained notoriety for his work in the Justice Department under President George W. Bush, where he served as an assistant attorney general. At one point, he was acting attorney general while John Ashcroft was hospitalized.
He has since worked in the private sector and academia.
Comey is regarded as one of Obama's least controversial appointments and has gained bipartisan support for his nomination. He is expected to gain confirmation without any major hiccups.

The investigation into Mark Shurtleff's alleged "fixer," Tim Lawson, may prove beneficial to jailed businessman Marc Sessions Jenson, who has accused Lawson of helping two former Utah attorneys general shake him down for cash and favors.
In court Tuesday, acting Utah County Attorney Tim Taylor, who is prosecuting the Jenson case, asked a 3rd District judge to put off scheduling a trial until he's had more time to collect information from Lawson's prosecutors.
|Join the Discussion
|Post a Comment
"A lot's been going on behind the scenes," Taylor told the judge.
Jenson's defense attorney, Marcus Mumford, later told The Salt Lake Tribune that this is a significant turn of events from the prosecution, who, up until Lawson's arrest in December, had been determined to prosecute Jenson's case as swiftly as possible.
Lawson and Jenson are central figures in the scandal engulfing Shurtleff and his successor, recently resigned Attorney General John Swallow.
Jenson, who is accused of felony fraud and money laundering over his now-defunct plans to develop a ritzy Beaver County resort known as the Mount Holly Club, was originally scheduled to stand trial this month, along with his co-defendant brother, Stephen R. Jenson.
But the trial was scrapped when new information came to light.
Mumford said he's unsure what to expect when Jenson appears in court again, on Feb. 21, but believes the information Taylor has been receiving from prosecutors in the Lawson case may be exculpatory for his client.
Lawson, whose attorney appeared in court on his behalf Monday, is accused of intimidating witnesses, evading taxes, obstructing justice and participating in a pattern of unlawful activity in connection to the shakedown Jenson has alleged.
Jenson has claimed he paid Lawson $120,000 over 11 months in 2009 and had Lawson, Shurtleff and Swallow stay at his luxurious Southern California villa on Jenson's dime.
Jenson didn't level these accusations of extortion against the former attorneys general until two years after he was charged in 3rd District Court of eight second-degree felonies: four counts of communications fraud, three counts of money laundering and one count of committing a pattern of illegal activity.
Each charge carries a maximum prison term of up to 15 years.

Run Your Fingers Through Bieber's Hair!
Wednesday, February 9th, 2011
Oh thank goodness! New and improved JUSTIN BIEBER dolls are on the way . . . and this time, the manufacturers have made a much needed improvement! In the original doll, they didn't do justice to Justin's most important physical attribute: His hair. A rep for the manufacturer explains,
"When we introduced the first series of Justin Bieber dolls right before the holidays, the most frequent comment we heard from fans was: 'Why doesn't the doll have Justin's hairstyle that you can comb?' We heard the fans loud and clear, and we're thrilled to be able to offer them the doll they've been waiting for later this year."
The new dolls will be out in August. Let the countdown begin.

Wayne Stevens came close to fame as a singer four decades ago in the Nashville soul band the Dynamic 5, but just because you're great doesn't mean you'll make it big time.
Today, while his stage may be small, his audience still loves him as he greets shoppers with a smile and sometimes a song at the Goodwill store in Madison.
"I like it when you smile, makes the sun shine that much brighter," Stevens said.
A store called Goodwill deserves a goodwill ambassador like Stevens, who get laughs and smiles every day.
"Hey, I'm just being me. I want you comfortable when you come through that store," he said.
The singing isn't something new. He made waves in the 1970s with the Dynamic 5. United Artists signed them up, but fame just never came.
Then, a few years ago, a massive stroke changed his life.
"I didn't think I was gonna make it," Stevens said. "I couldn't walk. I couldn't talk. I had to re-learn how to walk. I had to re-learn how to talk."
After years of therapy, he's now at work and getting smiles four days a week.
"Just because I had a stroke doesn't mean I can't talk to these people and get the best out of them," he said.
Stevens is at the store, at 2101 Gallatin Pike North, from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Tuesdays through Friday and on Saturdays from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. He will take requests, but only if your choice in music has some soul.

Director Lucy Loomis of Sturgis Library permanently banned the editor without warning or due process on June 19, 2012 for written criticism of her hypocritical policy that "libraries should provide materials and information presenting all points of view." The banning clearly proves the point! The ACLUM, PEN New England, Office of Intellectual Freedom (American Library Association), Barnstable Human Rights Commission, and other freedom groups contacted refuse to help the editor obtain justice. The local political hacks, poets, artists, and other librarians don't give a damn. The Barnstable Patriot and Cape Cod Times refuse to even cover the story. Russell Streur, however, pursued the matter (see Camel Saloon) and obtained a minor success for democracy. Loomis' played the he-makes-me-feel-uncomfortable card. No other explanation was given.

Chef Kevin Gillespie's highly anticipated new restaurant, Gunshow, opened yesterday in East Atlanta's Glenwood Park neighborhood.
A major departure from the fine dining aura at Gillespie's former restaurant, Woodfire Grill, Gunshow mixes a choose-it-yourself dining style with a lively wide-open atmosphere that pushes the boundaries of restaurant design.
Reservations required May 8-11: 404-380-1886. 924 Garrett Street, SE, Suite C, www.gunshowatl.com.

Sorry, will not eat here until Congress passes legislation for univeral background checks on all guns sold at gun shows. Its not your fault-Kevin's that the Senate (and those loony repub GA senators) filibustered this bill, but he would be a natural person to promote this needed change. So Kevin- its all up to you now!

If anyone actually knows the true meaning behind the name of his new restaurant, it is about the relationship between a son and his father, and nothing to do with making a statement on gun control.
We're looking forward to eating there, and Kevin G. is a great guy and deserves the success!

Plus/minus – I called to get a reservation for my anniversary a month away in June (you know the top restaurants in ATL are booked already that far out), but it isn't taking June reservations yet. Am on the June call-back list. Plus that I didn't miss the boat entirely & have a chance of getting in the next few weeks, but minus in that I am a planner & feel guilty holding a reservation elsewhere where I really want to go here.

Well let me tell you why I feel the need to impose my world view on everybody else. It's because I'm a Progressive and we have a history of dictating to others. We think we know what's best for everyone and our smug sense of superiority and self-serving pseudo compassion compels us to plan for others like my heroes Woodrow Wilson and Joseph Stalin. We also like to chime in where it's not welcome since we think everybody gives a damm about what we think. We Are Progressives and well kill you if you don't comply.

Dunwoody Dale: Hey, honey, I read this article about a new restaurant with a weird name that opened in May in one of the nicest apartment complexes in the hood south of I-20, and I really want to go there to find out what all the fuss is about. Can we go there tonight and spend $85.00 on food and another $30.00 on a bottle of wine while out car gets broken into?
Dunwoody Debby: Sure thing, honey. But let's take my 3-Series Bimmer – and leave Dunwoody Junior's I-Pad in the backseat in full view and park on the street to save $5.00 on valet. What did you say the name of that restaurant is again?
Dunwoody Dale: I forgot already, but it had something to do with inbred Southern politicians and male bonding.

Great Sovereign of the sea and sky
We've heard the sad, lamenting cries
Of whales harpooned and killed by men
Who ply the seas in search of them
In vessels great with hearts of stone
They think the world is theirs alone
Oh hear us when we pray to Thee
For whales in peril in the sea
Great Sovereign of the sea and sky
Forsake not whales, don't let them die
We children of the world have needs
Not noticed in this world of greed
We need to hear the mighty songs
Of whales forever singing strong
Oh hear us when we pray to Thee
For whales in peril in the sea

Freecycling, or free recycling, is the act of giving away usable unwanted items to others instead of disposing of them in landfills.[1][2] This term is most often associated with online groups who run mailing lists which offer items to members at no cost.
For a period The Freecycle Network claimed they held a trademark on the word "Freecycle" and claimed the term freecycling to be a violation of their trademark rights. However they lost this claim – and rights to the "Freecycle" trademark – in United States federal court in November 2010.[3] In her ruling Judge Callahan stated unequivocally that "Beal did not coin the word "freecycle" and TFN is not the first organization to promote freecycling" and that "even ... viewing the evidence in the light most favorable to TFN ... [they] engaged in naked licensing and consequently abandoned the trademarks."[3]

Week of August 18
Mille Regretz
Regret is a powerful emotion, just as it was in 1400s when the Franco-Flemish composer Josquin des Prez set a text about a thousand regrets to music. Josquin's anguished tune Mille Regretz swept through Europe like a fever, and we'll hear a multitude of settings, from plain to wild. Plus, we'll hear music from a featured release by lutenist Hopkinson Smith. (Repeat of September 30, 2013) LISTEN HERE
Week of August 25
Quit Your Day Job!
A lot of parents aren't thrilled with the idea of their child pursuing a career in music. Apparently this isn't a new sentiment. This week, we'll hear music by astrologers, cabinet makers, poets, and others who ducked, or bucked, their non-musical lives to compose music of lasting power. (Repeat of November 25, 2013) LISTEN HERE
Week of September 1
Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy
"Tinker, Tailor, / Soldier, Sailor, / Rich Man, Poor Man, / Beggar Man, Thief."
It's an old English nursery rhyme, but most of us know it from the title of a popular 1970s spy thriller. In the novel Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy, these occupations were code names, but this week on Harmonia we're taking them literally, as we listen to music by men of war, men of craft, and men of espionage. (Repeat of April 14, 2014.) LISTEN HERE
Week of September 8
We're listening for echoes! Spelunkers, churchgoers, and young children in bathrooms have always loved to hear their own voices bouncing back to them, and composers haven't been immune to the lure of echoing air. We'll hear musical echoes, short and long, from across Europe. Plus, we'll explore some curious inventions from composer Biagio Marini in our featured recording. (Repeat of September 9, 2013.) LISTEN HERE
Week of September 15
Spotlight on Julianne Baird
This week on Harmonia, we're shining a spotlight on soprano Julianne Baird. We'll also enjoy a sampling of Canada's "early" traditional music scene and hear a modern approach to English renaissance music on a featured release by Joel Frederiksen. (Repeat of January 7, 2013.) LISTEN HERE
Week of September 22
Music is many things to many people. The late poet Maya Angelou called music her refuge. To Jack Kerouac, music was "the only truth." And to composers and musicians through the ages, music was bread and board-and sometimes muse! We'll hear music about music this week on Harmonia.
Week of September 29
You'll Laugh, You'll Cry
Laughter and tears: two of the most human forms of expression. We laugh when we're happy, and sometimes even when we're not; we cry for almost as many reasons as there are tears-for pride, grief, annoyance, and of course, love. But how do you snicker–or sob–in song? You'll laugh, you'll cry, this week on Harmonia.

April 2: During patrol an officer observed a car that was exceeding the posted speed limit. The officer received a radar reading of a speed in excess of 90 miles per hour in a 35-mile per hour zone. The vehicle was stopped and the driver was arrested for reckless driving. He was issued a criminal citation and released.
April 2: A resident took a shortcut through a marked construction zone on the state's right-of-way in the SR543 median by E Street. The resident stepped on a piece of plywood which gave way and fell into an unmarked pothole that was full of water. The resident's spouse pulled his wife out of the hole. The 40-year-old woman did not appear to be injured, but complained of soreness. Medical assistance was declined by the victim. A Washington State Department of Transportation supervisor was dispatched to the site and was assisted by a Blaine city employee in patching the pothole.
April 2: A couple who had rented a moving van in Clark County failed to return it in a timely fashion so the rental company reported it as stolen. The family had traveled to Canada and a few days later the husband was arrested by Canadian authorities. The wife decided to return to Clark County, so she made arrangements with an acquaintance to drive the moving van into Blaine while she drove the family car. When the acquaintance sought entry at the Peace Arch port of entry, Customs and Border Protection personnel were alerted to the stolen vehicle. The acquaintance was detained and later released due to lack of insufficient evidence for prosecution. The stolen vehicle was impounded and the rental company will be notified.
April 2: An off-duty Bellingham police employee found what appeared to be some type of incendiary device on the beach in the Semiahmoo district. The Bellingham police department hazard material team was contacted and arrived a short time later. Authorities believe the orange colored object appeared to be some sort of used charging device, possibly the remains of a marine flare. As a precaution, HAZMAT team members counter-charged the device with negative results.
April 2: A complaint was received of a dispute between a mother and son in the 1100 block of Garfield Street. Officers learned that one of the parties had accidentally driven over a rake that was leaning against a window, causing it to break. A verbal argument then ensued over the cost of replacing the window. No arrest was made and both parties had calmed down before police arrived.
April 1: A female tenant called 911 to report a landlord/tenant dispute in the 800 block of Peace Portal Drive. Officers assisted both parties in reaching a mutual agreement and the landlord returned property belonging to the tenant. Further investigation revealed that the tenant may be in the United States illegally due to criminal history so Border Patrol agents were contacted. Officers cleared and the immigration issue was investigated by the border patrol.
March 31: An officer stopped a vehicle for an equipment violation. A Washington license check showed the driver was suspended. The driver was placed under arrest and found to be in possession of marijuana. A K9 officer was contacted and deployed. Additional marijuana was found hidden in the vehicle by the K9 team. The vehicle was impounded and the drugs were recovered as evidence. The driver was cited for misdemeanor possession of marijuana and the suspension violation, and he was released.
31: Officers assisted the sheriff's office
and U.S. Border Patrol by investigating a man
who had illegally entered the U.S. The man also provided
false information about his identity. He was positively
identified and found to have a warrant for parole violation
in Idaho. The man was arrested for the warrant by WCSO
and was booked into jail.
March 31: An officer was dispatched to a Blaine business for a report of a suspicious person. A lady entered the store and attempted to purchase alcohol. The woman was concealing her face with a piece of clothing and was asked for identification. She refused to provide any ID to the store clerk and was refused the half case of beer she was attempting to purchase. The woman left the store and was contacted by an officer who identified the person as a transient.
March 31: While on patrol, an officer came across a traffic collision blocking an intersection in the 1800 block of Peace Portal Drive. A truck towing a boat ran the stop sign and collided with a vehicle entering the intersection. North Whatcom Fire & Rescue responded and transported one of the vehicle's occupants to St. Joseph Hospital for evaluation of minor injuries. Additional officers arrived on scene, conducted traffic control and investigated the collision. The at fault driver was cited for the stop sign violation.
March 30: Officers were dispatched to an apartment in the 700 block of G Street after the 911 operator received a hang up phone call. It was determined that a verbal domestic dispute had occurred and that one person had taken the phone away from the other, preventing them from calling the police. A 26-year-old man was arrested for damaging the phone, interfering with the reporting of domestic violence and for outstanding felony warrants. He was transported and booked at the Whatcom County Jail for the offenses.
March 29: Officers responded to domestic dispute in the 700 block of Elm Drive. Officers arrested a parent after she assaulted her adult son and resisted arrest. The woman was booked into jail.
March 29: Officers responded to the Peace Arch crossing for two people in possession of "222" tablets. The controlled substance was impounded and a report will be forwarded to the prosecutor for review of charges.
March 29: A couple in the process of a divorce had gotten into an argument about getting the signed divorce papers and wedding gifts back. The caller was at his mother's dwelling and the female half was not welcome there. It was suggested that the complainant obtain a court order directing the other person to stay away. The other party was given a trespass warning.
March 28: A person requested a welfare check on a local resident in the 700 block of H Street after receiving several phone calls from them. Officers spoke with neighbors and found the individual in question left for their afternoon walk and everything appeared fine. The neighbors said they would call police if anything seemed out of the ordinary.
March 28: Officers saw a person driving a vehicle who had been arrested the week prior for driving on a suspended license and warrants. Checks showed the driver was still suspended and that he still had active warrants. Officers stopped the vehicle and arrested the uninsured suspended motorist, and received an exception to get the individual booked into jail. The vehicle was impounded.
March 28: Officers investigated an assault in which one truck driver allegedly jumped up on a second truck driver's rig struck the other truck driver in the face and then bent a brake lever in the victim's truck. The suspect was arrested, cited and released for assault fourth.

Democratic candidates spar in first televised mayoral debate
The mayor's race heated up on Tuesday night as the Democratic candidates sharpened their attacks at one another during the first live televised debate.
City Council Speaker Christine Quinn was repeatedly attacked for her role in overturning term limits and allowing Mayor Michael Bloomberg to stay in office for a third term.
"I apologized for my personal behavior," Anthony Weiner said. "The speaker refuses to apologize for overturning the will of the people."
Quinn responded by saying that no one "should be lectured by Anthony Weiner about what we need to apologize for."
The City Council speaker has been the front runner in most recent polls and drew the most attacks from her rivals on Tuesday.
Public Advocate Bill de Blasio, who came out in first place in a new poll just hours before the debate, slammed Quinn for siding with the "big business community" and stalling the sick days bill for three years.
Quinn continued to tout her record and criticize her opponents.
"My opponents are attacking me repeatedly because they simply don't have that kind of record delivering for middle-class New Yorkers," she said.
At one point while de Blasio and Quinn were going back and forth, Weiner took the opportunity to paint himself as a fresh alternative to the other candidates.
"My fellow New Yorkers, this is the problem," he said. "They all come from basically the same place. They've been part of municipal government for decades now."
John Liu criticized his opponents on stop-and-frisk, just days after a judge ruled the policy as unconstitutional. He referred to Bill Thompson and de Blasio as "Billy-come-latelys," saying they were slow in joining the stop-and-frisk debate.
He said he would not only get rid of Police Commissioner Ray Kelly if he is elected mayor, but he would also remove some of the police chiefs in the department.
Some of the candidates could agree on one thing. They didn't want to talk about Weiner's lastest sexting scandal, which has caused his ratings in the polls to plummet.
"This campaign should be about the future of the city of New York," Thompson said. "I don't want to talk about Anthony, and that's not why I'm here tonight."
"Please don't ask me any more questions about him," Liu said.
The lightest moments of the debate came when the candidates were asked to reveal something about themselves that would surprise New Yorkers.
De Blasio said he went to high school with Patrick Ewing but only one of them made it to the NBA, and Anthony Weiner apparently plays ice hockey after midnight on Mondays.

Another classic spring like day is on tap for Thursday. The showers are starting to pop up around the area and will continue overnight. Temps won't be too chilly overnight, only dropping to the upper 30°s.
Thursday, we'll see a mix of clouds and rain showers as a storm pushes in off the coast. Areas to the south like Lewiston and Clarkston could see some isolated thunderstorms by the afternoon. It looks Thursday will be the best shot of getting showers as a big ridge sets up shop through early next week.
Easter weekend looks fabulous, and I mean FABULOUS! Sunny skies and 60°s on both Saturday and Sunday. Make those outdoor plans now! And it looks like the warm weather continues for the start of next work week.
Two more days until the weekend. But who's counting?! -DG

-- Robert Preidt
THURSDAY, April 7 (HealthDay News) -- A gene that helps bacteria
resist nearly all antibiotics is present in bacteria in public
water supplies in New Delhi, India, researchers have found.
The investigators are especially concerned because the New Delhi
metallo-beta-lactamase (NDM) 1 gene has been detected in bacteria
that cause cholera and dysentery.
NDM-1 now appears to be widespread in the environment and that
points to the critical need for action to limit the global spread
of NDM-1-producing bacteria, said Timothy Walsh, of Cardiff
University in the United Kingdom, and colleagues.
The study authors tested the public water supply -- which is
used for drinking, washing and food preparation -- by collecting
samples from community waste seepage (pools that formed in public
areas) and tap water in urban New Delhi. They found the NDM-1 gene
in 51 of 171 seepage samples and two of 50 drinking-water samples.
The gene was found in 14 different species of bacteria, including
11 species in which NDM-1 had not previously been known.
The study is published in the April 7 online edition of
The Lancet Infectious Diseases.
"The potential for wider international spread of plasmids encoding NDM-1 is real and should not be ignored . . . coordinated, concrete and collective efforts are needed, initially to limit their widespread dissemination, and finally to combat this emerging threatening resistance problem," Mohd Shahid, of Jawaharlal Nehru Medical College and Hospital in Uttar Pradesh, India, wrote in an accompanying commentary.
