You know it is going to be a fun shoot when your preliminary notes say: "doves flying out of pie??" I recently had the opportunity to work with Chelsea Monroe-Cassel and Sariann Lehrer, authors of Inn at the Crossroads, as well as prop stylist Beth Wickwire, to create this cover for A Feast of Ice & Fire, the official Game of Thrones cookbook. Chelsea and Sariann created all sorts of delicacies from the books for our shoot: Rack of Lamb and Herbs, Beef and Bacon Pie, Baked Apples, Cream Swans, stews, tarts, and my favorite – the lemon cakes! The cookbook can be pre-ordered now and is out on May 29.
The wraparound book jacket gave us the space we needed to create the feast; here's a look at how it came together:

1. Double/Double makes the SipSnap Kid (pictured) and SipSnap Tot to turn any cup into a splatter-proof straw- or sippy cup. $21, Double/Double
2. Cuppow makes a BPA free rigid plastic lid that turns a canning jar into a travel cup. $8.99, Cuppow
3. If your baby used Lifefactory glass bottles then you can snag their sippy caps for a quick conversion. 2 for $16.99, Sprout San Francisco

I have adult friends who need sippy cups - they tend to wave their arms when they speak!
Also, wouldn't these be great for adult go cups?
I wish #5 had existed when my kids still needed sippy cups. Great idea!
Our grandson's paediatrician said the latest advice is not to use sippy type cups anymore. Apparently something about delaying the development of appropriate muscles in controlling mouth.
My husband thinks this info could make good fodder for humour.
How did my mother raise 4 kids without sippy cups? Oh I know we were sent out side with our plastic cups until we became more proficient... when we graduated to glass we were allowed back in the house!
confused by sippy cups. my daughter was drinking out of glasses by age one.
and i was always grossed out when i used to babysit kids and they'd be free ranging with their sippy cups and i'd find old sour ones here and there. gag.
but i do love those cup covers with the straw. would be great for the car
Eh, just give the kid a cup and deal with the mess. I do use sippy cups when we're out and about but at home, we just use regular cups.
My kids drink out of glasses. Glass ones. And Klean Kanteens out of the house. That's the norm in the kid world I live in. The plastic ones are extra work!
Klean Kanteens do hurt when they hit you in the head, though. Plastic is way better that way.
I was also told something about regular cups (as opposed to the sippy variety) supporting mouth control muscles that aid in speech. Seems to me that lots of kids use sippy cups, though, and they learn to speak just fine.
That said, we transitioned directly from bottles to small plastic cups (during the gravity experiment phase) to small glasses. No sippy cups needed in the home. But I do keep a couple for travel.
Has anyone found that using the stainless steel EcoJarz lid leaves rust rings on the seal & lid?
Use shot glasses. Perfect size for kids; much better proportioned in every aspect b
Little cups from For Small Hands. Cheap and super durable glass. They also sell a perfect size pouring pitcher for small people.

Gaffney police hope someone can identify two women they said pepper-sprayed three people while attempting to flee with a cart full of beer from a local Walmart store.
Police said the two women tried to leave the Walmart on West Floyd Baker Boulevard on Wednesday morning without paying for about 15 cases of beer and other items.
The women pepper-sprayed two employees and a customer before fleeing in a burgundy Mercedes, police said.
Gaffney police said they are talking to the Greenville County Sheriff's Office to see if another shoplifting incident at the Woodruff Road Walmart is connected.
In that case, deputies said two people tried to leave the store with several shopping carts full of merchandise and one of the women pepper sprayed an employee before getting away with stereo equipment.
Anyone with information about the shoplifting attempt or who can identify the women is asked to call Gaffney police at 864-489-8115.

Update on Friday: The toll plan passed, as expected. The AJC's news story is available here. And here are a few comments of my own about what went down today:
1. From the news story: "In order to satisfy the original promise that the tolls would come down in 2011, [Gov. Sonny] Perdue said, SRTA will see if it can suspend the tolls briefly in 2011. When they went back online, he said, they would be a 'new' toll. That was suggested by one former Atlanta city councilman, he said, Robb Pitts."
My comment: That's just insulting. It may make even more of a mockery of the original promise to take down the toll, and it seems legally questionable since that's not what the SRTA board voted on. But it also makes a mockery of SRTA's alleged concern, voiced by a lawyer for the authority at this morning's DOT board meeting, that it would be unsafe to have "cars trying to speed through there at full speed" if the toll-plaza structure were still in place but the toll was not being collected. So, that's considered dangerous — but it would be safe enough to only do it for a brief period of time, if that counted as throwing a bone to barking citizens? Please.
2. The Political Insider, Jim Galloway, quoted the governor as saying today that "it's easy to be a political populist and say 'broken promises, no trust.' "
My comment: If demanding that government stick to its promises and respect the public's trust now count as "political populism," the pitchforks may be here sooner than we thought. If the governor truly thinks his plan is what's best for Georgians, he ought to have the confidence to make his case to the people who pay the tolls — and not join other officials in hiding behind a time crunch that they created themselves in waiting until now to bring the issue up for a vote.
There was nothing stopping them from bringing this issue before the DOT, and then SRTA, a month or two ago. It's not as if the end of the tolling period has sneaked up on anyone; we've known that the date was June 2011 since Perdue was still a Democrat.
3. I attended the DOT board meeting this morning. Now, I have covered any number of governmental meetings and hearings in my career, but this was by far the most embarrassing display I've ever seen.
The chairman of the DOT board was so obviously intent on arriving at the predetermined outcome (passage of the resolution to extend the lease of Ga. 400 to SRTA) that he was in constant danger of skipping procedural votes altogether, and didn't even allow debate on the final motion to extend the lease. It was a spectacle to hear board members participating by teleconference, because they'd received such short notice of the special called meeting, complaining that they couldn't even hear what was going on. Then, some of them tried to deny the board a quorum by hanging up their phones en masse (it didn't work).
It was like watching the Keystone Cops conduct a Kabuki enactment of a kangaroo court. It was pathetic, even from a confirmed skeptic's perspective.
In any case, here's what I originally wrote Wednesday:
Politicians aren't renowned for long-term thinking. In the quiet plan to extend the Georgia 400 toll, we're witnessing a short-term mistake that may have lasting consequences.
As toll booths went up on Ga. 400 between I-285 and Lenox Road in Buckhead, they came with a promise that the levy would end in 20 years, when the bonds to pay for the highway's southward extension were paid off. Next June marks the blessed anniversary.
Yet Friday, the boards of the Department of Transportation and the State Roads and Tollway Authority will review a plan to keep charging the toll for perhaps eight more years. Actually, it's worse than that: For motorists without a prepaid "Cruise Card," the standard toll could be doubled to $1.
If the AJC had not reported the arrangement last Friday, you may not have heard about it until after the votes were counted.
The plan apparently was to keep citizens in the dark about the toll extension. Details have been hard to come by. Before citizens can vet the proposals, the DOT board may vote to prolong its lease of Ga. 400 to SRTA, which in turn may vote to approve new bonds for construction on the highway and an extended period of tolling to pay for it.
It's suspicious, not least because there's a good chance that the public might actually favor some of the dozen projects on the list.
Here's guessing that, for instance, those who pay the toll would favor a ramp to connect Ga. 400 with the northbound lanes of I-85. Improvements to other exits along the highway would also be welcome.
Commuters might even consider such projects worth a few more years of paying tolls. Eight years? Probably not, given that the toll booths collect some $20 million a year, and the projects are expected to cost far less than $160 million. Not to mention that toll revenues through June 2011 already were projected to exceed what is needed to pay off the bonds by tens of millions of dollars.
But state officials didn't want to ask us. Why?
Maybe they think they know what's best for us. Maybe they didn't think they could win the argument. Maybe they think that, as long as they have the votes on the two agencies' boards of directors, they don't need the public's input. Maybe there's something within the plan that they wanted to keep out of sight as long as possible.
None of these are charitable explanations. But it's hard to give state officials the benefit of the doubt here, given their reticence.
In any case, it's a curious situation in which to find Gov. Sonny Perdue, who chairs the SRTA board.
One of the biggest knocks on Perdue's tenure has been his failure, until his last legislative session, to produce a comprehensive plan to alleviate traffic gridlock in Atlanta and beyond. Now he's leading a bum rush to fix up Ga. 400?
Even now, the next governor's first term will be halfway over before we see any fruits from Perdue's plan, a series of regional referendums in 2012 on a one-cent sales tax to fund transportation. And that's assuming voters in at least one region approve the tax.
Speaking of the tax:
Every supporter of the sales tax for transportation with whom I've spoken emphasizes that the key issue is public trust: Which projects will be done? How can we be sure that the information we're given about costs, benefits and so on is accurate? Do we trust our elected officials to keep the promises they make?
Atlantans might like the projects that end up in the sales-tax proposal, just as they might like the ones slated for an extended 400 toll. But the case for simply trusting our transportation planners may die in two board meetings Friday.

When I read the original piece, I was struck by the odd secrecy coupled with the need for especially the I-85 exchange. It makes sense to build it, so what else is planned for the continued money stream that doesn't make sense that's being hidden? Or, am I just used to expecting the worst from Georgia government?

Do ya remember a former crooked guv who stole millions from the ga 400 toll road fund to benefit his developer cronies building that pos atlantic-station? When caught, the fat crook said, "well, nobody told me ah couldn't" — that money was never repaid. How about a story by kyle about that deal?
September 22nd, 2010
9:05 pm
I remember when 400 was first proposed and the State swore that the toll would only apply until it was paid off. There were people then that said it was all a lie, and now it looks like they were correct. So the next time the DOT want the public to give approval to a new project, the public should just say "Heck NO! We know you are lying to us because you lied o us before."

What a sorry state. Toll here…toll here…What's the next tax they are going to throw at us….That's right another $10 tax to fund hospitals…Can't wait to find a job to get out of this state!

Kudos Kyle!
You honor your readers with intelligent commentary and perspicacious awareness.
Because I don't ride that road much, I'm flummoxed by some of what I've heard. On one hand, do some people actually think that having a toll is good because it would cut down on traffic? On the other hand, is this propaganda from government sources to justify a toll and grab more money?
I'm all in favor of tolls if there is indeed some benefit. In fact, I think we ought to have more–we will need more–if we are going to meet our driving needs, given that EPA or the feds won't let us build roads on their terms (or because they don't have money).
The secrecy does make one suspicious.

If you think the Republican legislature is listening and will not renege on the promise to remove the toll booth once the road is paid I remind you they all sign a pledge not to raise taxes. The Hospital bed tax, and massive fee increases I guess don't count. Not only will the toll booths remain they are going to stick it to people who pay in cash by doubling their toll to a dollar. How do you know a Republican State Legislator is lying. Cause they said they believe in smaller government and lower taxes… HA ha Ha ha hA HA ha Ha ha……. That's funny…….

Perdue you are pathetic. And a classic example of why we no longer trust government. But why would you care, now that you're leaving. But a promise is a promise except when you are dealing with a revenue stream. Take the toll down. Use the extra $40.0 mil you overbilled us and build your 400/85 interchange and leave us alone. Maybe this will keep Sam (who has now become as crooked as Perdue) happy. Why do the few that use this 6 mile stretch of road (and personally paid for) now responsible for ALL improvements on 400 Corridor???? But any improvements on 75/85/20 are paid with taxpayer money. Agian, just PATHETIC. Congrats all you REPUBLICANS. I am not voting for a single one this election.

Personally I think this is another failure for elected officals to honor agreements made to the public, and they have been saying for years the tolls would end. Even if some of these projects were to be completed with additional tolls, I don't see everyone using some of the new projects even making it as far as the toll boths so I'm now going to pay for them to use the roadway in areas that I will never use myself. Then raising the toll to $1 for cash makes me even angrier! I stopped using the pass because I was always being charged on my account without statements etc. I used the toll the same number of times but one month I was charged after a few weeks only to be charged again a few weeks later. There was never a statement letting me know my balance etc. I went to cash also saving the fee I was charged for the window device. Making you use a window pass is another way they are making even more money that they aren't telling folks! What another sad example of idiots running this state, in my opinion. No wonder Georgia has become the laughing stock of the country!

Lying scum, that's all they are. I will never again believe a word coming from any politician's mouth. Have they ever been honest? Is there a promise they will ever keep?
I hope Sam Massell is now remembered as a corrupt liar rather than the great man he used to be. Shame on him for supporting this travesty!
If everyone just ignored the toll and went through the Cruise Card lanes… Well all I know is I was promised something, that the toll would go away. It's paid off, so there is no more toll, whatever the politicians may think. We need to hold them to their words.
I'm so used to be lied to by politicians, but this one just really gets under my skin. Maybe because it hits so close to home and because there's no wiggle room here. They lied, it can't be hid from or rationalized, they are liars and not to be trusted or respected.

It reminds me of Cherokee county in the early 90's. The county commissioners had all property re-appraised at much higher appraisals. When it came time for notices to go out and people could contest their new appraisals, the commissioners said "don't worry, yes, your appraisal went up, but we are going to roll back the millage rate, so your net taxes won't increase." After the deadline for contesting the appraisals had passed, the commisioners said " we are sorry, after review of the county's financial books, we decided we need to leave the millage rate where it is." This resulted in a de facto tax increase. But when the county commissioner came up for re-election, that's right, they campaigned on the slogan that "they had never supported or enacted a tax increase." And these were REPUBLICANS!

Everybody's fed up with everything in Georgia and America! The politicians just don't understand what we want. We demand lower taxes, more services, better planning, eliminating the federal deficit, and paying off the national debt! Why is that so hard to understand?
I've got a great idea: let's just keep re-electing the politicians who've created the present mess! Perdue can't run again, but Deal is his clone. Isakson is running unopposed; he hasn't done anything at all the last 6 years, so he can be trusted to give us what we want in the next six. Certainly, the incumbent congressmen from the party of NO can be counted on to give us the legislation of our dreams in the next two years.
Electing the full slate of Republican politicians will maintain the status quo, and eliminate any possibility of planning or doing anything for the common good. Shucks, after November the elected politicians will be fully occupied planning their 2012 campaigns!
Poor dumb Georgia! Poor dumb America!

Kyle:"One of the biggest knocks on Perdue's tenure has been his failure, until his last legislative session, to produce a comprehensive plan to alleviate traffic gridlock in Atlanta and beyond. "
Kyle where is that plan, with specifics? Allowing locals to tax themselves is NOT a plan. It's a possible revenue source.
You are right that any new "tax" should be tied to a specific project list with specific deliverables and schedules. ARC in Atlanta will, along with GDOT, GRTA, and probably the Chamber of commerce, "partner" rolling out the list of projects and getting feedback on which ones should be included in the "package". This list should include an assessment of what the benefits will be.
Now back to my original comment: Are you refer to Fast Forward which was initiated in 2002? Those projects have been completed with NOTHING since then. When Perdue came into office he pledge new funding for transportation. Where is it? GDOT geared up design activities, w/o any resulting monies. Also remember he bonded most projects which took future monies away from additional projects and also had an interest cost.

With all the demand for lower taxes, what services do you want cut? What is our effective tax rates for the different income levels; this means including All the deductions people take. And how do they compare to past years? This recurring mantra has not been explained as to the effects besides it "puts more money into the taxpayers hands". Duh! What does the analysis show?

So…..there you have it, the perfect example why I find myself more closely alligned with the Tea Party than the Republican Party.
The republicans, in their "plan" for the future, pledge to roll back spending to the 2008 level. The 2008 level. They have pledged to spend money at a level that was continuing to increase the federal deficit, just not as much as they think the deficit is increasing now!!!
Wow!! Makes you want to run out and get busy putting these fiscal "hawks" in office doesn't it??
Let's make sure and reward these fellows in November for their pledge to spend recklessly, just not as recklessly as the democrats!!

Public trust? Give me a break. They said trust us 20 years ago when they promised that the toll booths would come down after the bond were paid off. The public officials involved with this are just plain lying. The toll plaza should come down as promised and not a second later. Something happens to otherwise good people when they get elected they just lose there integrity somehow. No wonder that people do not have faith in public officials when they cannot even keep a simple promise like this. Shame on Sam Massell as well who was a well spoken advocate for the toll booths 20 years ago and one of the reasons I supported it back then. Now he seems to have forgotten all the things he said back then and the promise that was made. As one of the last "moderate" republicans in the country, I am more willing than some in my party to back a projects that will benefit the public good even if we have to pay a little extra for awhile but when a promise is broken and the people in power cannot live up to there word then what incentive do I have to back any future projects when the rules get changed? The Republicans control everything in this state and they need to flex there political muscle and take down the toll booths for good. If they cannot stop this prime example of big government when they have all the power then what chance is there that any of the promises they are making about smaller government this election season come true? the answer is none…..
I wish candidates Deal and Barnes would take a stand on this either way so we could see how much integrity they have..

Bush and the Republican party of thieves ave put the screws to American's, and then they won't work with the Democrat's unless Big Pork is involved.
The Republican candidate for Governor has lied to Georgia with his omitting important financial information, and this is a guy running his own personal life in the RED….and Republican's think he can run the state ?

Why is it that the state has plenty of money to put into widening I-75 in spots like Tifton and Cordele, where relatively few people live, but when it comes to something like improvements on Georgia 400, why, that's diffo? How come when a major population center needs transportation improvements, the cry is always "let them pay for it if they want it," but other areas of the state get their improvements from the general fund? Why aren't other areas of the state and the metro Atlanta area forking over toll money every day? Why is it that after we paid for major interstate highways, the solution to traffic density is to convert portions of those highways to toll lanes? Aren't they our highways already? And why are some portions of those interstate highways being converted to HOV lanes, so that the rest of us can encounter even greater traffic jams?
How come? Huh? Huh? Huh?
As for the continuation of the GA 400 toll, most of us knew that the promoters of the toll were lying through their tobacco-stained teeth way back there when the comfortably afflicted big shots in Buckhead were being bought out of their dumpy houses after years of lawsuits to jack up the price. And our knowledge was confirmed when toll money that was supposed to pay off the bonds was diverted to the crime-ridden Atlantic Station project.
This is Roswell Rosie signing off after blowing off some steam.

If they cannot stop this prime example of big government when they have all the power then what chance is there that any of the promises they are making about smaller government this election season come true?"
It's a really good question.
Answers, anyone?

By the way Kyle…….since it has not rained in awhile……isn't it time to have a prayer meeting on the lawn of the capitol building ?
Do you think a new reservoir may be in order ?
Gotta love Republican's……let the education go to heck in a hand basket…..so the dumb folks will keep voting them in no matter what they say or lie about !

Politicians make claims and promises to get elected. If you believe that they'll follow through, then YOU'RE the idiot.

the boards of the Department of Transportation and the State Roads and Tollway Authority will review a plan to keep charging the toll for perhaps eight more years.
They are following up a broken promise with another promise? If they can't keep their promise this time, then the toll booth stays FOREVER with tolls increasing at unexplained levels and with accountability to no one.
They SHOULD do the right thing. End the tolls, publish new proposed projects, and create a referendum reauthorize for the length of time to complete the projects. EVERYONE who uses the toll booth would agree to fix the 85 interchange. Why shaft those that , in good faith, agreed to this project in the first place when you can get what you want through good planning and a commitment to your promises?
I am FOR several of the proposed new projects. I am AGAINST government not keeping its word. I am AGAINST unelected bureaucracies that go behind the backs of the people who pay this toll to attempt to maintain their bureaucracy. Is there any question whatsoever how the SRTA is going to vote on this? They are not voting what is in the best interest of the people. They are voting to increase their power, budget and prestige, and to keep their jobs.
I would bet a weeks salary that if they ASK, they will be given permission to extend the tolls and complete new projects. If they pass this without public input,they will have destroyed the trust of the people and created a lot of animosity towards the SRTA.

There is no public trust left. Or at least there shouldn't be. The sooner the citizens of this city, this state, and this country wake up and realize that it has never been left versus right, or Dem versus Rep but rather the State versus YOU, the sooner we can get our rights and our liberties back. This toll thing is just yet another example of what is wrong with this country and the direction the political process has taken.

Right now they're too busy huddling with their pollsters studying numbers in Alaska and Delaware with their propaganda-meisters on the ready to let loose with the next TV spot to peddle their badly tattered, sham vision of fiscal probity and Reaganesque American optimism (leave it all up to the markets, they call it). Never mind the collapsing bridges. Guess the market will figure that one out, too.
Yep, he's still that tired old man that we elected king – a good 30 years later.

Again the government lies to us. The toll road was suppost to be remove after the road was paid for with a 20 year dead line. Look now the State dot and Atlanta not only want to break their bond but also charge you double to do so. People wake up and don't let anymore taxes be approved anymore period for ANY reason.

Welcome to the real world. I grew up in southern West Virginia, where for two decades politicians argued for the West Virginia Turnpike (I-77) and promised fervently that the tolls would be removed once the bonds were paid off. Well, guess what. Not only have those tolls been collected for forty-five years, with the bonds long since paid off, but they recently doubled. Those tolls will be there long after I'm dead. Politicians have a terrible time of letting go of a revenue source once it's discovered. There's no reason to think that Georgia 400 will be any different.

Don't you mean "Georgia Politicians"?
September 23rd, 2010
9:22 am
If in fact the toll is extended…… My bet is that it will be. As a protest, EVERYBODY should by pass the boothes and go through the cruise lane. Let the state sue everybody for non payment of fines! This is a JOKE! But then you have MORONS like barking frog who wants to be screwed…..

Kyle, thanks for the fodder. There are many, including me, who have been saying all along that the Republicans in GA, and nationwide, have been duping the people. They have a knack for great slogans, and it looks like a new one will appear today, something called a "Contract for the people". This chicanery that Perdue and his hand-picked cronies and Mr. Deal's keeping his finances under wraps until his Republican base nominated him is nothing new. If anyone thinks that the Republican party has any answers to any program, think back to the Bush/Cheney years and the destruction they left behind when they left office.
No, folks, your Republican leaders can make all the promises they want about lowering taxes and cutting spending but the same outcome will result … you are being lied to.

"I believe I will try it myself," said the Woodman, and shouldering his axe, he marched up to the first tree that had handled the Scarecrow so roughly. When a big branch bent down to seize him the Woodman chopped at it so fiercely that he cut it in two. At once the tree began shaking all its branches as if in pain, and the Tin Woodman passed safely under it.
"Come on!" he shouted to the others. "Be quick!" They all ran forward and passed under the tree without injury, except Toto, who was caught by a small branch and shaken until he howled. But the Woodman promptly chopped off the branch and set the little dog free.
The other trees of the forest did nothing to keep them back, so they made up their minds that only the first row of trees could bend down their branches, and that probably these were the policemen of the forest, and given this wonderful power in order to keep strangers out of it.
The four travelers walked with ease through the trees until they came to the farther edge of the wood. Then, to their surprise, they found before them a high wall which seemed to be made of white china. It was smooth, like the surface of a dish, and higher than their heads.
"What shall we do now?" asked Dorothy.
"I will make a ladder," said the Tin Woodman, "for we certainly must climb over the wall."
While the Woodman was making a ladder from wood which he found in the forest Dorothy lay down and slept, for she was tired by the long walk. The Lion also curled himself up to sleep and Toto lay beside him.
The Scarecrow watched the Woodman while he worked, and said to him:
"I cannot think why this wall is here, nor what it is made of."

Does Crazy Hair Color Have Age Limits? Kelly Osbourne Thinks So
Photo: zap2it.com
On a recent episode of CBS's The Talk, Kelly Osbourne discussed her buzz-worthy gray 'do with the hosts, telling them she had always wanted to rock gray in her youth as a statement look. Surprisingly, though, she also told the ladies of the show that she felt she only had a few years left to try fun, out-there looks with her hair. What age did she think was the cut-off? Shockingly for us, she said 30.
Here's what the star told the hosts the other day:
I've always wanted to be young and have gray hair, and I know that's crazy, but I don't exactly come from the most normal family…
For me, I'm 27. I've got three years left, the way I look at it, to have fun with it because once you're 30, you look like a right idiot walking around with like rainbow bright colored hair and all different things like that. So I think, for me, I'm just having fun with it as much as I can until it's not appropriate anymore.
I haven't hit the three decade mark just yet, but I have friends who've told me about the unspoken pressures they feel crossing that threshold. Can any of you 30-plus ladies out there give me some more insight? Is 30 really a good cut-off for insanely bright or highly experimental hair? Tell us in the comments!
When we're in the mood to be experimental with our look, we reach for these temporary lip tattoos.

Road Trip: A Tulsa Sampler
Discover a few of Tulsa's diverse indoor attractions including the Tulsa Air and Space Museum & Planetarium, Hard Rock Hotel & Casino, Oklahoma Aquarium and Whispering Vines Vineyards and Winery along with Crow's Rest Bed & Breakfast Inn.

It was a sizzling hot August day and I was headed to Tulsa with the rest of the Oklahoma Tourism Department team for a diverse sampler of indoor attractions and a relaxing bed and breakfast.
Crow's Rest Bed & Breakfast Inn
As we neared the southwest side of Tulsa, we drove through tall trees and peaceful green horse pastures that started melting our cares away even before we arrived at The Crow's Rest Bed & Breakfast. Located on five acres in an idyllic countryside setting, this farm-style home welcomes those who want a relaxing getaway in the area of Tulsa's many attractions. The main house offers five rooms, each with a private bathroom, while a separate cottage offers supreme privacy. You can enjoy a room with a Jacuzzi tub, stay in the European room where you'll feel like you've escaped to Paris or try the teddy bear room where you'll be in good company with the numerous teddy bears. In the summer, you can cool off in the inviting backyard pool, and when it's chilly outside you can warm up next to the outdoor fireplace. No matter which room you choose, you'll also be treated to a delicious breakfast each morning.
Tulsa Air and Space Museum & Planetarium
Next we were off to the Tulsa Air and Space Museum & Planetarium where we found an impressive collection of planes on display. In addition to the planes, the museum has a collection of interactive exhibits that can keep the whole family fascinated for hours. You'll find simulators that put you in the pilot's seat of a fighter jet, let you fly a scale model through a wind tunnel, use controls to maneuver robotic arms like astronauts in space and much more. There are also plenty of video exhibits that let you navigate through stories of pioneers that never gave up on their dreams of flying, or test your knowledge of flight. I climbed into the cockpit of an F-14 fighter jet and had my own personal Top Gun moment.
The Tulsa Air and Space Museum & Planetarium also boasts a state-of-the-art planetarium that is only the second of its kind in the world. Experience a spectacular show that takes you on a journey through the universe in a 50-foot diameter dome. The presentation allows the audience to travel through a vast real-time simulation of the universe with its multitude of stars, planets, asteroids and galaxies.
Hard Rock Hotel & Casino
After experiencing the Tulsa Air and Space Museum and taking a journey through the universe in the planetarium, we had worked up quite an appetite. Next on our itinerary was the Hard Rock Hotel & Casino for lunch and a tour. We dined at the casino'sbuffet and all of us savored the meal. The buffet featured a staggering array of choices with meats, vegetables, freshly baked breads, salad bar, desserts and favorites such as Chinese and Mexican dishes. The sirloin was top notch and the pork tenderloin was delicious. The desserts were all good, with the coconut cream pie, blueberry pie and the chocolate fountain taking the honors in my book.
I climbed into the cockpit of an F-14 fighter jet and had my own personal Top Gun moment.
After enjoying our hearty meal, we ventured out to the golf course clubhouse, just a short stroll across the parking lot. We took a short tour of the course and then hit the driving range, which is set up championship-style, with a basket of what seemed like hundreds of balls.
The Hard Rock Hotel & Casino is a true resort. Stay in the luxurious Hard Rock Hotel, dine in one of the seven onsite restaurants, spin and win on more than 2,200 electronic gaming machines, try your hand at 70 game tables or relax on the links. The dining options include the expansive Wild Potato Buffet, fine dining at McGill's on the 19th floor and Toby Keith's I Love This Bar & Grill among others. And, of course, there's plenty of rock & roll memorabilia on display to please any music fan.
Oklahoma Aquarium
Our next stop was at the Oklahoma Aquarium where we found sharks - big sharks, little sharks, shiny sharks, bull sharks and leopard sharks. We even got to walk through a tunnel in the big shark tank where the sharks swam above and around us. Needless to say, the aquarium has a healthy variety of the fearsome creatures, but there is so much more to discover here. We found several fish that my kids would call Nemo, stingrays that you can pet, delicate jellyfish that seem to glow under black lights, gentle-looking seahorses and the highly intelligent and mischievous octopus among a variety of other fascinating sea creatures displayed in their natural watery habitats.
In addition to the outstanding ocean life exhibits, another real jewel at the Oklahoma Aquarium is the section displaying native Oklahoma aquatic life. Among the displays in the Oklahoma section we found an incredibly huge 120-year-old alligator snapping turtle, seven-foot-long gars, trophy-sized bass, the Jurassic-looking paddlefish and a catfish straight out of the record books. We fed red-eared turtles and watched beavers busying themselves in their enclosure before we became mesmerized by some of the cutest beings on the planet - river otters.
Whispering Vines Vineyards and Winery
The grape-growing and wine-making industry in Oklahoma is on the rise and we chose to wrap up our Tulsa road trip in the picturesque green hills on the western outskirts of town at Whispering Vines Vineyards and Winery. We were treated to a tour of the facility and a tasting of their award-winning wines. They offer more than 13 different varieties ranging from the sweet and festive Muscat Canelli to the semi-dry Syrah with undertones of toasted vanilla, spicy tannins and aromas of ripe berries, rose petals, cinnamon and espresso. At the time of our visit, the Syrah had taken top honors at all three competitions in which it had been entered.
This sampler of diverse experiences confirmed again for us that Tulsa has plenty to offer, no matter where your interest lies.

Goldman Sachs shrugs off negative image
Analysts expect investors to look past recent scandals and focus on market gains. The bank reports third-quarter earnings Tuesday.
Is all forgiven with Goldman Sachs (GS)?
The investment company has taken several huge public relations hits in recent years. One of the biggest came this past March, following the very public resignation by Greg Smith, a top official there. In a New York Times editorial, Smith blasted the Goldman Sachs corporate culture as "toxic and destructive," where clients were described as "muppets" and the concept of advising clients to do what's best for their interests had given way to whatever trades would most benefit the firm.
Goldman Sachs was also facing fraud charges related to the start of the U.S. housing market crisis. This past August, however, the U.S. Justice Department said it wouldn't pursue a criminal prosecution in relation to those charges.
These scandals raised questions regarding the public's trust and confidence in Goldman Sachs. And yet, even after a rough second quarter, Goldman's share price is up 25% from the start of August.
Investors seem less concerned with any negative past news and rather upbeat about where Goldman Sachs is going as they focus on its third-quarter earnings report, scheduled to be released Tuesday before the market opens.
Despite a sluggish seasonal quarter, we expect Goldman to put up pretty solid results," said KBW bank analyst David Konrad, "given the improvement in market values, relatively stable volatility and market share gains in its merger and acquisition business."
Analysts expect Goldman Sachs to report per-share earnings around the $2.12 range, up from a net loss of 84 cents a year earlier, on revenue that doubled.

About Attorney Doak Patton
Specializing in Criminal Defense Law
Professional Background:
I became a lawyer licensed by the State of Tennessee, more than 10 years ago. I have been sworn in before the Tennessee and United States Supreme Courts.
I've also been appointed several times to be Special Judge in the Davidson County General Sessions Court to hear criminal cases and as a Special District Attorney General on several unique crimes after my service as an Assistant District Attorney General.
Becoming a prosecutor was both the best and worst job in the world. As an Assistant District Attorney General in Tennessee for several years, I gained real insight into how our criminal justice system works. This was the best real world school. I stormed a house with a team of officers, went to various violent crime scenes, and a host of other things you don't do in any other job. I worked with members of the FBI, ATF, U.S. Attorney's Office and TBI as well as local law enforcement officers.
I have been from the east to the west side of this State representing many different people from all walks of life and am a member of the Tennessee Bar Association.
As a lawyer, I know you have to be aggressive to get things done. I know you have to go some places other people don't want to go and do things others can't. A lawyer has to be ready for anything.
I fight for my clients. I do what I have to do to get the job done.

Workshop Focus
The workshop will be co-led by Principal Investigators and researchers in each of the project teams and will offer participants the opportunity to learn about:
- the different ways in which theory informed the research design;
- how theory guided the collection and analysis of data; and
- ways in which the research could be said to build theory.
Each team will talk about their particular project and the ways in which the theory underpinning the project helped them to make decisions about the methods used. Both the substantive theory which led to their research questions and/or theories about research design methods will be discussed. Throughout the workshop emphasis will be placed on providing examples of theories in action.
There is no charge for attending this workshop (a light lunch and refreshments will be provided), but participants will be responsible for their own travel and any accommodation costs. This workshop is part of BERA's continuing commitment to doctoral students and early career researchers. See bera.ac.uk for more information. There is a wealth of research training resources available free of charge.

Kevin Ware had kept a low profile since telling the AJC last Thursday that he was de-committing to Central Florida.
On Tuesday night, the 6-foot-4 guard from Rockdale County High School was active again on his Twitter account and announced "Got my list of schools."
The world awaited.
Ware tweeted "no order kstate, kansas, uga, ucla, uofl" — which we did our best to translate to Kansas State, Kansas, Georgia, UCLA and Louisville.
However, the next tweet was the most interesting one: "depending on what's going on at ucf once everything cleared up will determine if there on my list."
Ware abruptly reneged on his pledge to Central Florida last Thursday after being informed about a pending article in the New York Times that alleged that UCF used a convicted felon with agent ties to recruit him. At the time, Ware told the AJC, "Louisville and Georgia are my [frontrunners]. I just have to talk to the coaches and see if they are still interested in me. I really don't know where things stand."
Ware is ranked as the No. 56 college basketball prospect in the nation by Rivals. Ware's family did confirm to the AJC via a text message on Wednesday morning that the list was accurate.
However, it is unknown if the schools that Ware mentioned on Twitter have reciprocal interest.
UGA's Mark Fox has signed five players for his 2011 basketball recruiting class but could add one more, if he decided.
Related: Central Florida's athletic director told the Orlando Sentinel that his school's compliance office will work with the NCAA and Conference USA to investigate allegations of recruiting infractions. (Click here to read full article)

Let's see, first UT(okay,coaching change), UCF next, now adding Kansas schools and UCLA to the list, still got UOL (or was that UOFL). I say pass. Like a lot of these kids, too much going on to trust them. Doesn't sound like one that would stick around for very long.JMHO
May 4th, 2011
6:22 am
Who knows? I trust coach Fox's judgement. Kinda hard for folks like us to get an accurate read on a kid's character and judgement based on what we read. I am impressed with the fact that he was loyal to his UT commitment since his sophomore year and never waivered until Pearl was gone. Would like to see another quality guard in this class.
May 4th, 2011
6:43 am
If he's good – get him. Kids have a hard time making a career/college choice, and they deserve their time in the recruiting limelight. I agree with dawgerbrown… If CMF likes Ware, a good guard is worth the scholly… and I think he would stick at UGA, if that's the way he goes.
May 4th, 2011
6:48 am
would like to see him end up at georgia,i went to rockdale high and thier is alot of pride there for them dawg's please dont take your talent any were else coach fox's is got something special going on at georgia be apart of the turnaround kevin it's a no brainer….
May 4th, 2011
6:56 am
Of course UGA should pursue him unless they think he is truly a problem. There is not enough information that has been made public to properly label him a trouble maker. Any one that does is making uneducated judgements on something they know nothing about. It has been said that this felon pursued and contacted him. Until more info comes out we need keep an open mind and give the kid the benefit of doubt.
May 4th, 2011
7:01 am
Anyone who would twitter to tell me he is making a tentative list of schools he might attend has lost me. Don't want him at UGA and we sure don't need him.
May 4th, 2011
7:02 am
I thought I saw on rivals that UGA had 2 scholarships available if they wanted to use them this year. They also offered a former 5 star Point guard who is transferring on NC state and he is from Georgia. With Ware and Robinson gone after this year and Caldwell-Pope possible being a one and done, I think UGA should definitely try to get them both.

This kid is said to have terrible grades and cannot get in anyway.
May 4th, 2011
7:23 am
Breaking news…..He just committed to Louisville.
No wait, he just decommitted.
He'll have a new "Top Ten" list by lunch.
Too much drama. Move on, Dawgs.
May 4th, 2011
7:28 am
At this point, I would rather have the transfer Ryan Harrow taking the last scholarship. Harrow fills the need at PG better. Let's move on from Ware unless Harrow isn't interested.
May 4th, 2011

Sign him for sure..but keep him on a short rope..one misstep and Fox should run him off.
May 4th, 2011
7:37 am
"depending on what's going on at ucf once everything cleared up will determine if there on my list."
Sounds like he may need to go the JUCO route and work on some basic grammar. Not to mention the fact he changes his mind more than I change my underwear. Speaking of underwear, does anybody know of any good yardsales? I need a few "new" pair.
May 4th, 2011
7:39 am
If you are not all for yourself – pick a school and be done with it..
The release from Tenn. after Pearl I can see, but now it's either indecision or who is going to offer me more. The steering to UCF, it is begin to look a bit like someone else is making this kids choice for him.
Good luck son… move on Dawgs.
May 4th, 2011
7:44 am
As the saying goes, this kid does not know his butt from a hole in the ground. Choose anyone but UGA. Hey, I hear Kansas is beautiful in the fall and winter.
May 4th, 2011
7:47 am
At least he doesn't have any other SEC schools on his list. Won't have to play against him. I could go either way on this kid. Just don't want a basket case to distract CMF from his goals.
May 4th, 2011

Sounds like a head case with lousy grades and a toxic me first attitude.

I cant believe UGA would even consider touching this kid now.
May 4th, 2011
8:11 am
Let's see, signed with Pearl, a first-rate shyster, scumbag who got caught cheating red-handed, and still was arrogant enough to lie about it.
Then the kid commits to a friggin CONVICTED FELON running some sort of scam operation for a po-dunk commuter school in Disneyworld.
This kid has, at worst, a temptation for the wrong side of life, and at best, horrible, horrible judgement of people. Where have his parents been? I think it would be best if Coach Fox had nothing to do with this situation, and he does not seem like the kind of man that Ware gravitates to anyway.
May 4th, 2011
8:18 am
Saw the kid play at Rockdale…..he is Tennessee quality – not sure he would fit with what CMF has planned for his program. I think he ran most of them off when he was hired.
UCF and Kansas are not in the same league…he may have a short list but some of his schools probably don't have him on their list.
May 4th, 2011
8:19 am
At one time I said "Yeah sign him!" Now I'm not so sure. This kid could be trouble.
May 4th, 2011
8:25 am
Maybe all he needs to "get his mind right" is for Coach Fox to introduce him to the steps at Sanford stadium. It seemed to work for our current crop of Dawg hoopsters. Also, I don't see anything horrble in his background. I have not heard of any arrests or character issues. He is just undecided on where to attend college. I am sure that being a heavily recruited athlete can really muddy the waters when it comes to choosing a school.
May 4th, 2011
8:49 am
Not sure what it is with this young man…is he a 'one-and-done'? A potential punk? A true 'peach' of a kid that'll be a credit to the program and to his momma? Whatever…but if he's good enough I say roll the dice and get as good as UGA can get, even if it's only for one season before he checks out…assuming he's not 'jail-bait' material. Mark Fox will need to make a big splash with one before he can expect to truly compete for the top players in Georgia.
I've got an idea for a name for it 'We Can Dream Too'.
May 4th, 2011
8:49 am
Doesn't know the difference between they're and there.
May 4th, 2011
8:53 am
He will follow McCray to UCLA
May 4th, 2011
8:57 am
Give this kid a break guys.
Most HS recruits change schools after a coaching change in NCAA basketball. That is nothing new and there should be no shame on the kid for it. We should be flattered that UGA is mentioning with Louisville as a front runner from day 1.
If UCF has a felon running around doing their recruiting with ties to sports agents then that shame is on UCF. If anything this kid should be applauded for walking away from UCF once he learned who this recruiter really was that was representing UCF.
Your welcome in Athens with open arms young man,
May 4th, 2011

Prima donna head case. Any school dumb enough to take him (and there are plenty) needs to have its head examined. Trouble brewing.
May 4th, 2011
9:01 am
Just get him off the street and into a school atmosphere and he will be a good player for Coach Fox. As for anything else hidden, if Coach signs him, he's Coach's responsibility.
May 4th, 2011
9:11 am
I'm torn… and if you don't have all the information to make a decesion, then you don't make it. I'll pass to Coach Fox and stand by what he does.
May 4th, 2011

What ever happened to the "10 @ 10″ on Tuesday and Thursday / then Mail Bag on Friday? Sounds like the AJC is committing, then de-committing!!!!
May 4th, 2011
9:22 am
You have not being paying attention.
Chip Towers did 10@10 and on Tues and Thurs.
He is now the beatwriter for UGA at AJC and no longer covers recruiting.
We got a new guy covering recruiting.

He would fit the Bulldogs profile. Sleazy. Join the football thugs..
May 4th, 2011
9:27 am
This seems to be one of those "dang if you do" or "dang if you don't"…no one really knows what will happen…Still just an 18 yr old kid that seems not sure what he wants to do. Many on here will say the dawgs should move on, and perhaps they should, but if he has a successful career somewhere else the bashers will be on here saying how the dawgs let another one get out of state….Have to trust Coach Fox's instincts on this and let him decide how much to pursue this young man…go dawgs
May 4th, 2011
9:31 am
Sounds like a great kid. Are we sure he didn't actually go to Carver of Columbus? Keep on hand on you Iphone. I UGA gets him now. Jim Harrick is a charachter witness for him I hear.
May 4th, 2011
9:48 am
He sounds like a perfect fit for UGA……..character, intelligence & maturity do not matter; all the UGA faithful care about is "can he play?" and "is he a stud athlete?".
It has been an interesting story regarding the Kevin Ware saga; I sincerely hope this kid ends up in the right place for him and his family……….maybe he is just overwhelmed and a little indecisive (not too hard to believe for a high school kid!). I say good luck to him regardless of where he plays basketball.
May 4th, 2011
9:50 am
Tech Man, you are the pot calling the kettle black. Like a lot of tech fans, reality is not something you are in much.

Genuine Smile, Fake Smile but what about one associated with Pain?
Decided to re-post my comment as I would love others insight in regards to my question.
This video left me thinking; if we take out the real smile and the fake smile i am often amazed at myself (as a person who smiles endlessly) the sad smile. How is it that even through the most painful of times I as well as others are still capable of smiling, they maybe smaller in size from an actual happy smile yet still the only answer in that i can verify from my end is even with a sad smile i seem to connect the emotional vulnerability of realizing that even through the pain i could feel emotionally and physically a smile is there to comfort me, a selfish act that allows me to continue? Hard to articulate yet anyone else get my train of thought?

Just Happens to be LGBT: The NDO's lasting impression
Published: September 25, 2013
LGBT San Antonians have much to be thankful for. With the San Antonio City Council's non-discrimination ordinance (NDO) passed, we can rely on the knowledge that our city has our back when it comes to equal protection under the law. Aside from some religious exemptions, no one in the city can deny gay, lesbian or transgender people from access to a place of business or fair housing. The City has ensured—like the vast majority of Fortune 500 companies—equal employment opportunity. Although this column is more about community than about politics or policy, it's worthwhile to continue digesting the NDO vote's impact.
We're here. We're queer. Get over it. Let's find a way to live together. If there's anything the NDO process demonstrated, it's that LGBT people don't hide under rocks. Now, I'm not a fan of the "get over it" mentality because it automatically comes off as divisive. Instead, let's find a way to understand one another better.
Granted, that's difficult. There has been no real dialogue between the LGBT groups and allies who supported the ordinance and the religious entities that opposed it. This point was made on the day of the vote by Councilman Diego Bernal, who also bemoaned the fact that he had better discussions with outside groups than he did with some of his own colleagues on City Council.
If we can't find ways to have open, honest, non-judgmental discussion on both sides, then the NDO vote is only a good thing, not yet a great thing. If you or someone you know is already working on bridging that divide, please email me. That's tough work worth focusing on.
Transgender folks are also here. And here to stay. When the coalition group CAUSA started on the journey to add both gender identity and sexual orientation to the NDO, the decision was made from the beginning to leave no one behind. That decision was a proud day for many, because trans people have often been left out of the equality equation. Thank goodness for District 4 Councilman Rey Saldaña's friendly amendment to the NDO on September 5 that altered the less-than-desirable language about the possible prohibition of bathroom use by people of the opposite sex. Now, the language bars people from entering "any sex-segregated space for unlawful purpose." (Stay tuned for my article in our October 30 issue, focusing on the Transgender Day of Remembrance.)
What you don't know can hurt you. As we all know, ignorance of the law does not prevent us from being subject to it. But that doesn't just mean that we may accidentally break laws we're not aware of; it also means that we may be protected by laws that we don't know of. Although the vast majority of people I know are quite aware that the NDO now protects them, I've encountered a small number of LGBT folks who don't even know that it exists. (OK, so maybe some LGBT people DO live under rocks!) Spread the word about LGBT equality now being the legal expectation, not just a mere exception, in our city.
