Marc Fucarile opened his eyes for the first time since the Boston Marathon bombings on April 15.
He opened them to a right leg amputated above his knee, burns across half of his body, a fractured left leg, and shrapnel lodged near his heart. He opened his eyes — which last looked out on a bloody Boylston Street — and the first thing he did was tell his fiancee Jen Regan, "I am sorry for being there. I love you and Gavin," their 5-year-old son, according to a statement released by the family on Monday.

Rated 4 out of 5 by RhodeIslandHoneymooners Good Honeymoon Spot Stayed 2 Nights on our honeymoon after not being satisfied at a hotel in Lihue. Sheraton is on a beautiful beach with good swimming. Rate for an oceanfront room was extremely reasonable. Staff friendly & professional. Hotel not quite as modern as others on stay, but still nice, clean, and full of Hawaiian charm. Conveniently located for south shore activities and the canyon. Would stay again if planning to stay on South Shore Kaua'i. September 16, 2012
Rated 5 out of 5 by SusieQ Great Ambience We loved this hotel. I did have a couple of suggestions. I did not find the restroom by the pool until I asked someone on the last day. It does not appear on the map, and there is no sign before you enter the hallway. We had a delicious meal at the Rum Fire. The musician that was playing was very good, but I would have preferred Hawaiian music since I was in Hawaii. The conceirge was very helpful - the map of Kauai was excellent! February 23, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by DaPKmP Paradise in Paradise Our first trip to Hawaii was everything we could expect and more. A large part of what made our trip so enjoyable was the accomodations and service provided by your facility and staff. When we return to Kauai we will definately be staying at your property again. In fact, we joined you travels program and will look for Starwood properties. Below expectations on food was only based on available hours, food quality was outstanding. October 23, 2012
Rated 3 out of 5 by ayrshire Tennisfacilities This hotel advertised tennis facilities but the courts were in such disrepair that they were unplayable Temp basketball net on one court, large cracks with grass growing out of them, very dirty courts with lots of debris and only one with a playable net. perimeter fence with large holes. We went there with the expectation of playing tennis which was not possible. I did complain to the front desk and they said fill out this form? January 21, 2013
Rated 3 out of 5 by carm Disappointed Gold SPG member I have stayed here on several occasions over the years with my family and friends. So I decided to come back this year with my two sisters to celebrate my 50th birthday. I probably wouldn't have been disappointed but based on past experiences, I was very let down. There must be new management because the feel of hospitality and Hawaiian friendliness just wasn't there. I didn't get the feeling that anyone was empowered to go above and beyond expectations. As a Gold SPG member, I expected to be treated like one, but when I mentioned that it was a special occasion (my 50th), I was kind of given a "big deal, who cares" attitude. At other SPG properties I have stay at for special occasions (such as my kid's bdays), they were always recognized - but not here. It it a beautiful resort, but it doens't feel like the same place. Sadly, I won't return to this property. May 17, 2013
Rated 4 out of 5 by Joe456 Nice Hotel, Friendly Staff We stayed at the Sheraton Kauai for our 20th anniversary. Hotel is in a great location. Staff was very friendly and accommodated our needs. Overall nice hotel for the money. On the minuses - The exercise facility seemed a bit on the small side for the size of the hotel. As a lifetime SPG gold member I requested late check-out but was denied, even though we had to wait for our room to be cleaned at check-in at around 6:30 PM. September 10, 2012
Rated 4 out of 5 by gbo64 Weekend in Kauai We are SPG members and always appreciate the way Starwood acknowledges it's members. We had an ocean view suite. Loved the suite and the ocean view was worth the price in itself. Staff were very friendly and helpful. The hotel is nicely located on the ocean edge in Poipu. For the price, we'd definitely stay again, especially if we could get an ocean view suite. March 17, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Muffy64 Awesome location in Poipu We were very happy with this resort. Really nice atmosphere, especially at night with the fire pits and torches. Quiet at night, which suited us. Go elsewhere for nightlife. Hotel staff were incredibly helpful and responsive. We were upgraded to a better view upon check-in, which was a nice start. After three nights we had an issue with our room which we discussed with Peter, the night manager. He promptly re-assigned us to an amazing room in the Ocean Wing for our last five nights. Great beach location, plenty of whale watching from Rum Fire, and the daily sunset was an anticipated event with guests gathering on the lawn to watch. While housekeeping did an excellent job on daily stuff, I noticed that both the rooms we had were ready for a deep clean (baseboards, high traffic areas on doors and walls, under tables, etc). We look forward to our next visit here. February 5, 2013
Rated 2 out of 5 by Shanz Disappointed Sheraton Kauai was very disappointing in terms of the room, staff and facitilites. The room and bathroom were old and needed updating. The cleaners kept changing my airconditioning settings! The wifi was terrible and would not work in my room and when i asked about it, reception said they would fix the problem but never did. My credit card was charged without informing me!! The pool was small and insignificant January 18, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by DAX11 Enjoyed our stay Hotel was in a great location with a great view. Hotel is quiet at night we wished they had more of a night program. The staff was very nice especially housekeeping. We booked with the hotel that included a car. Dealing with Dollar Rental was terrible. We had to return our car 4 hours before our flight so we would avoid outrageous hourly charges-they were not budging. March 13, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by PBFB Great Location The Sheraton Poipu was recommended to us by friends. We were a little disappointed upon arriving to find a big round table in the middle of the lobby and absolutely nothing on it- no flowers, no display at all. Seemed like they did not care to make any kind of impression. Overall we were very pleased with the hotel and staff. Location--great beach, several good local restaurants for which the hotel provides a free shuttle. September 28, 2012
Rated 5 out of 5 by Laurie22 Nice layout and location Even though this hotel is quite expansive, it is easy to get around. The layout is quite impressive with beautiful landscaping, pools and beachfront. It would be easy to stay just at the Sheraton and never leave. Everything is at your disposal. However, the location of the hotel makes it easy to drive both sides of the island for sightseeing in a day, visit the quaint town of Koloa close by, or shop the small malls nearby. March 13, 2013
Rated 4 out of 5 by TG84105 great location, in-house food choices very limited The hotel is in a great location, and the beach is very nice. Food option within the Sheraton are limited. The breakfast buffet is fine, with a decent selection.Service is hit or miss - getting a refill for coffee or orange juice might be difficult. The food at the pool bar is adequate, but not a great value. There is no sundry store and the selection of the snack bar is very limited (and the prices are through the roof). September 26, 2012
Rated 4 out of 5 by Xplorer259 Enjoyed this hotel and area Forgot to add one thing to our review: there is no smoking around pool area, but, people would choose to ignore this. Around the hot tub in the evening the young 20 somethings had the liquor and cigarettes going. I felt this was disrespectful to other patrons also using the pool area and not in good taste as the signs requested other than that. There is no one monitoring this so I guess they felt entitled to do whatever. February 10, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 Beautiful Poipu Beach I stayed here during the Rotary District Conference and even though the hotel was undergoing renovations, I found it to be a welcome respite in one of the most beautiful locations in the world. Not ostentatious or pretentious, the Sheraton Kauai Resort just fits into its natural surroundings, provides physical comfort, delicious foods and a very friendly and helpful staff that took care of my every need with warm aloha. October 31, 2011
Rated 4 out of 5 by Battipaglia69 Need lighting and sign upgrades This resort needs better and brighter hallway lighting; The current lighting is dull and does not properly or safely illuminate the CORRIDORS to the rooms which are layed out in a peculiar and confusing pattern,. In addition, the signs indicating where a group of rooms are located is often confusing. Lastly, You need a better larger sign on Kapili Rd for guests to locate the site, and it should be illuminated at night. September 23, 2013
Rated 2 out of 5 by W2013 Keep your hand on your wallet at all times. The people who pay the tariff to stay at the hotel are looked up as marks for increased revenue, not hotel guests. "Resort fees" over and above the room charges are "mandatory" according to the manager, not negotiable, and are levied for a package of worthless "amenities" that should be included in the room charge anyway. If the property wants that money, it should just charge more for the rooms and be honest about it and let the customer decide to book the room or not. The "resort fees" buried in the fine print and not explained in any way until it's to late are unfair to the consumer. Add to that the extra charges for basic beach amenities (not included in the resort fee), the $20 breakfasts, the $9 smoothies, etc., and the property becomes a poor value. That said, staff was nice, and the property was nice too, if only it were run by hoteliers and not accountants. Too bad. December 30, 2013
Rated 4 out of 5 by holein1 Perfect get away from Colorado winter The staff was very professional, helpful and friendly, Ryan a concierge was great getting my Tee Times. Verna the morning hostess was wonderful. The fire pits at night were so nice to sit around and listen to the waves slapping against the shore. Breakfast that was included couldn't have been better, I should have mentioned the view of the ocean from every window in the dinning room. It was a perfect vacation! Shirley February 7, 2013
Rated 4 out of 5 by CDubi Premier Property in Kauai but needs new Gym and Spa Our stay overall was wonderful due to the unmatched location and attentive staff, however, several areas need improvement to bring this resort up to world class. The Gym was barely adequate, and there does not really exist a true Spa facility. Also, it needs a good sundry shop and the complimentary shuttle service is a great idea but does not function well in practice (long waits). Otherwise a great resort experience. January 3, 2013
Rated 3 out of 5 by Mark67 mixed feelings This hotel is truly beautiful. We were shocked that the concierge staff even contacted us by email and telephone before the stay. The concierge staff was extremely helpful also during our stay. The pool is lovely although the beach surf is very rough. We encountered a few problems. Our door lock would not work because the battery had run out. It took several workmen about an hour and a half to open the door while we waited and no one in administration offered apology or compensation. We were also surprised that a $30 per night resort charge is added automatically and our protests brought no relief. Why isn't this amount simply part of the nightly fee instead of a required add-on? That would be a more honest and forthright way of treating it. The breakfast buffet had the same food every day. Couldn't pancakes or French toast or similar variations be added for variation? April 16, 2013
Rated 3 out of 5 by NotSoHappy Stay here for below average service Valet is just about useless. We pulled up directly in front of their stand. 5 guys there and not one came over to help with bags. We unloaded then I had to walk to them and ask them to valet the car. Very poor showing. Eric was a notable exception in the valet. When he was there he was always on it and helpful. The first day at the pool they tell us 'sorry, not towels'. Really? You don't have enough towels to service a full house? The guy says 'No we don't. Come back tomorrow and we may have more.' Front desk and concierge were good. Both were helpful and courteous. Facilities were decent but not spectacular. The shower was loose. Carpets were pretty worn. Overall below average for Starwood properties. The chairs around the pool were mostly staked out with towels by 8:00 am. No people most of the day but no chairs either so you pretty much have to go somewhere else. January 24, 2013
Rated 4 out of 5 by viejo great location ocean view and wave sounds were wonderful. 3rd fl terrace nicely sheltered from rain.. Suggest a nightlight of some kind for all bathrooms ,rather than leaving the light on, so you can locate the door in the dark. A bigger pool to allow for swimming would have been nice as the beach is too steep for swimming or boogie boarding with waves that break so close and creates a very strong undertow.. Beautiful island. October 2, 2013
Rated 3 out of 5 by Shnookie SPG member discount I had breakfast and dinner at the hotel restaurant "Rum Fire" but didn't receive the below discount. *Quote* Whether at home and on the road, SPG members receive an exclusive discount at more than 500 restaurants and bars worldwide, Starpoints® for dining experiences, and the chance to win an around the world VIP culinary journey with a SPG members-only sweepstakes "Around the World in 5 Meals." *Unquote* T August 6, 2012
Rated 4 out of 5 by 2013 Enjoyed the views Enjoyed the hotel. Lava's should be open longer in the day. Stopping serving food service at 5 PM is way to early. People don't always want a larger venue like Rumfire. If they don't go to Rumfire they probably would go somewhere else close like the Poipu Shops. Rumfire's food was good but it was way too much noise to even hear yourself talk. Don't know that we would return. Also the service wasn't the best. March 15, 2013
Rated 4 out of 5 by TravelinGAgirl great location, beautiful ocean view The ocean front view is lovely. There is sandy beach and some lava rock, depending on the part of the hotel. There is a cafe with delicious breakfast sandwiches as well as a poolside lunch stop with fish & chips, fish tacos, salads and more. Deluxe ocean front rooms are nice and the suites are incredibly spacious and luxurious. March 19, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by Papayaman Beautiful Property We returned to Kaui and Poipu on our 29th Wedding Anniversary. We enjoyed the Sheraton Kaui and our Ocean Front Room. The staff is excellent and friendly and provided us with information that made our visit so much more enjoyable. We were a little dissappointed in the limited breakfast menu at Rum Fire. Due to the limited hours of Lava's, we were unable to enjoy our complimentary bottle of champagne. October 30, 2012
Rated 5 out of 5 by chas3stix Sheraton Kauai We had a great travel experience at the Sheraton Kauai. The room was clean and comfortable. The staff treated us with dignity and respect not just another customer. The food was excellent. The Concierge went out of her way to welcome us and help us with travel destination directions. Overall it was a most pleasurable travel experience. We wouldn't hesitate staying at a Sheraton resort in the future. November 19, 2012
Rated 5 out of 5 by Anne314 Fabulous three days We stayed at the Sheraton Kauai for three nights before going up to the Westin Princeville Villas and had a fabulous stay. We were upgraded to a great room, had two superb meals in the Rum Fire restaurant, and enjoyed the complimentary social hour with wine tasting for SPG members. We will stay there again!! March 23, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by Debby The new restaurant My husband and I have been to your hotel 5 times and this time the wonderful breakfast by the water restaurant with the windows open was no longer there. We tried your new restaurant for dinner but it was so loud we left. Since there are no other restaurants at your facility, as there used to be, we ate all our meals off campus. Why was the open restaurant by the water closed. it was such an asset? March 25, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by Scorein Luxury in Kauai Amazing place! We had so much privacy and a breath taking view right on the water. The room was huge. My husband said it was the best laid out floor plan. Everything appears new and beautiful! April 17, 2014

I have a couple of small contract updates to report after last weekend's Braves games and a father/son trip to Springfield, Illinois to visit some Abraham Lincoln historic sites.
USA Today had a report last week that the Thrashers were unlikely to re-sign forward Colby Armstrong due to contract differences. After talking to both sides, it doesn't quite appear a deal is dead, but they are not close.
"Colby has been a solid contributor to our club and we do have interest in him as a player, but after some initial discussions with the agent and our understanding of what he would be looking for we're too far apart at this time," Thrashers GM Rick Dudley told the AJC.
Armstrong said he was letting his agent handle negotiations.
Armstrong made $2.4 million last season and is looking for a raise.
There have also been more contract talks with defenseman Pavel Kubina, but at this time nothing is imminent.
There is nothing new to report on a coaching search. I suspect that Chicago assistant John Torchetti is still a leading candidate. Dudley has said he won't talk to potential candidates until their season is over. With the Blackhawks on the verge of the Stanley Cup Finals, it could talk another two weeks before he is available to interview. I will stay on it.
Thanks to those who had kind words on my Rick Dudley feature – on the blog and by e-mail. They are very much appreciated. It was quite a fascinating story. His path to NHL management was just as interesting as his road to NHL player. I plan to put up a blog on that journey next week. I'm still trying to collect on some off days from the season and I will be at the Braves' upcoming weekend series.
I will keep you posted with any news.

Will we ever learn? Do we want to win?

It shouldn't take you too long to pack your crap and leave Armstong, you didn't bring anything with you last season! Downtown Cleaners just called, you skirt is ready.

(This is my first comment from my new Droid. Great way to assure short entries!)

Atlanta Spirit Group is pitifil. The absolute worse ownership in all of sports. Nothing but a bunch of moron's running the teams on the cheap. Atlanta deserves a hell of alot more than these so called owners, what a effing joke they are. I will find some other way to spend my money than to throw it away on a lousy cheap product that will never compete for championships. This ownership gives no one hope of ever really competing for championships.

Not sure what Colby did to merit a raise, but we never should have doubled his salary last year. If he were a legit top 6 guy, I'd be okay with $2.5 to $2.8 M but he's nothing more than a tweener. I wish him luck wherever he ends up. But who knows, he may not be able to get the overpmt he thinks he deserves, but some GM will throw $2.5 M at him. It just won't be Duds.
May 23rd, 2010
6:10 pm
As I've said before, on these blogs for months, "I won't cry over Colby Armstrong. He got traded here. He refused to re-sign beyond his remaining RFA years. So, if he doesn't want to stay, we should let him go." Of course, I suggested we move him at the trade deadline, too. Bygones. I'm encouraged that Kubina's agent hasn't told Atlanta to 'pound sand.' If Atlanta can re-sign Pavel Kubina, that'd be a major step, moving forward, assuming we don't overcommit years or excessive salary to do it.
C'mon Dudley. Give me a reason to believe. Wheel and deal in this draft. Move up. Or trade for an RFA or two with those picks. But get 'er done!! If you're really in charge, Dudley, do your thing.
May 23rd, 2010
7:34 pm
LOL…just like KOVY demand more than you were worth knowing full well you will not be signed. Kiss my arse Colby.
May 23rd, 2010

It makes no sense why it has taken so long to pick a coach!!! It better be someone that is involved in the playoffs!
May 23rd, 2010
9:07 pm
Also looking at coaches with no NHL experience because it's cheaper.
I'll say it again, since people don't like to read.
Arniel has NHL experience as an assistant coach. From 2002 to 2006, he was an assistant in Buffalo.
I guess I don't expect that to change anyone's mind who seems to have their mind made up, but this is the truth of the matter, and it should be accepted.
May 23rd, 2010
9:18 pm
Hawks fan, its quite obvious that they want to talk to somone like Chicago that is still in the playoffs. As Dudley said they have plenty of time to get it right.
May 23rd, 2010
10:32 pm
Spirit, just sell the team to somebody who cares about hockey. You should focus on fixing the Hawks. Running both on the cheap (moreso with the Thrashers) just hurts both teams. I used to root for the Flames even after they moved. I pretty much have given up on the Thrashers. Their ownership has lost every "superstar" they've ever had and has shown no willingness to put a quality team together.
May 23rd, 2010
11:08 pm
From what I heard, unless if you move up to top 2 in the draft (no chance), the rest is pretty much so so. Not really worth it. However if we can get a good player for that picks, just go ahead.
May 23rd, 2010
11:20 pm
Army was a nice piece but we can plug a young guy in that role and let him develop. I don't blame him for wanting to leave…good luck to him wherever he goes.
And hopefully better luck to us….
May 24th, 2010
3:11 am
I don't really blame anyone for not wanting to sign with the Thrashers the ownership is terrible and doesn't seem to really care. They get an owner who cares and the Thrashers will do better in the attendance. Look at Chicago they were last in attendance for years and now that they have an owner that cares they sell out every game and are in the finals.
May 24th, 2010
7:11 am
Seems we had a lot of competition for the slots that were open this year. I'd rather see someone like Bergfors get a place on our roster then Armstrong. I like Armstrong, he's funt to root for, but let's get someone who stands a chance of winning the fights he provokes.
May 24th, 2010
8:12 am
Army is overpaid at $2.8M. Get a raise for 29 points? Armstrong takes too many games off, not enough hits or game changing points for an energy player. Torchetti, Arniel or Ramsay, take your pick they would all be good selections for the next Thrashers' coach.
Agree with AJ-get Bergfors the money he deserves and lock him up long term.
May 24th, 2010
8:20 am
Is Army REALLY wanting a raise or just out of the ATL???
May 24th, 2010

I agree! Let Army go and sign Kubina & Afinogenov. We have a lot of young talent like Cormier that can fill his spot.I talked to Esposito Saturday night and I think he is still a year or two away. He still has a problem with his knee. I think the moves that are going to be made at this years drafts are going to surprise all Thrashers Fans! Welcome to Atlanta Mr. Sharp!

Ya let Army walk. He had a good year in 08-09 but this past season his production along with many others were way down and he wants a raise? Wow. Surely there are much better options out there on FA market or in our own system that's cheaper or as much as Army made last season and who can produce more consistently.

Flames – I hope you are right about Sharp…would love to see him wearing the cobalt blue this fall. Dudley has the connections to work such a deal but let's hope he doesn't get out-maneuvered by his old pal Dale Tallon.
World – Colby made $2.4 M last season and he shouldn't have made more than $2.25 in my opinion. He certainly didn't earn a raise to even merit consideration for the upper 2's. But some idiot will cave in and wave that carrot under his jacked up nose.
@CViv – can you find out for us if Duds has conducted an interview with Craig Ramsay by now? Boston's been done for over a week, but we haven't heard anything about Rammer. Wasn't he a strong candidate?
May 24th, 2010
11:02 am
Colby didn't have the season I expected, but it will be unfortunate to let him go. He's been a great member of the team but we need to amp up the talent. He hasn't gone yet, but I expect that he will be soon. Hopefully we can pick up some talent to replace the lost players of our team. (Right, Dudley?) Thanks again Colby.

Any chance of getting Patrick Marleau as an UFA?
May 24th, 2010
12:37 pm
The only way Marleau could come here was if it were by his choice. Is Marleau about to choose the Thrashers? If SJ cannot re-sign Nabakov, they'll do everything they can re-sign Marleau. I have no idea what Marleau's intentions are, but he's looking at a pretty sweet pay day, where he signs to play.
May 24th, 2010
2:12 pm
Marleau? Heck, I'll take him any day. But that's not legit. Even if the Sharks couldn't re-sign Marleau, he wouldn't come to ATL. He'd probably go to a place where the pay is good and so is the team. Atl =

to get coach with no head coaching nhl experience we have to be lucky like pittsburg or capitals did. history tells us most of such experiments had no luck including with previous thrashers coach. why we are not looking on decent guys available now like former raingers who run over us in only appearance in playoff, or ramsey, or stevens. we know why, because asg have no money. so levenson please go to the corner marietta st. joint some folks and beg for pennys or get out of this busines asap. enough lies and depression on thousands hard base fans of thrashers. most likely scenario on cheap coach hiring-
he get fired two years from now, but don waddell get routine promotion. it's a shame.

Nabakov has looked good at times, but not overly impressed me. He totally lost sight of the puck in overtime of game 3. The replay shows he was staring behind the goal when the puck was ON Byfuglien's stick in the slot. What the heck is Coburn's deal? Has he had a concussion problem? He is making some glaring errors and horrible decisions. I thought he was going to be a star. I used to laugh at the salaries baseball relief pitchers made for doing very little. The discussion of Armstrong reminded me of that. To paraphrase "Never has one done so little for so much". Here's the door Colby…
Marleau is a machine…when his center is Thornton. That's the kind of guy you sign on numbers and he scores 18 goals with a different (lesser) center. Speaking of Byfuglien, now THERE is a guy who has impressed me. Niemi has also looked sharp (it's a shame we got the fat, lazy finnish goalie).

hey old timer. are you going senile? remember we got rid of that fat lazy finnish goalie! he went to dallas.

Random link to pass the time…
Lots of Dudley quotes in this article regarding drafting Russian prospects:
May 25th, 2010
9:17 am
I'd give Afinogenov the money freed up from Kozlov… $3.8 million
Kubina, I'd give him what he made last year with the standard 12% raise… $5.6 million.
If they can do it for less than that… gravy!
May 25th, 2010
9:24 am
J.B… thanks for the link! I have no problem taking one of the Russians with the 24th pick, but certainly not the 8th. Would be great is someone like Burmistrov, Galiev or Tarasenko dropped to the end of the 1st because of the Russian 'stigma'.
May 25th, 2010
10:37 am
I am not going to get all amped up about Dudley talking to minor league coaches at this time,IMHO he is probably scouting for asst coaches and waiting for the season to end to talk to coaches with a lot of NHL time. Besides if this was ASG business as usual we would have already hired someone that was a stick boy from a QMHL team to be our head coach. I would recommend everyone relax until all is said and done,if memory serves me didn't RD say that he was going to hire assistants as well as a head coach. Is there a law that says you MUST hire a head coach first?
May 25th, 2010
10:45 am
Schroeder… usually your Head Coach picks his own assistants, but have to be approved by management… so yes, hiring Assistants before your Head Coach is 'putting the cart before the horse'.
Dudley said he likes to get his Head Coach first and then have an assistant that is somehwhat a polar opposite… if you have a modivating Head Coach, then you want a hard-ass Asssistant… and vice versa.
May 25th, 2010
11:32 am
what kinda crap did we have behind the bench last year? no motivation, no hard asses, no sense, no logic…..
May 25th, 2010
11:33 am
GVAHOKIE- Point taken,I hope though that these interviews are him being proactive for possible candidates to put to the new head coach to speedup that process of building a staff that he would also be comfortable with.Operative word here is HOPE. As for the thought of Marleau coming here,would be great but I would not hold my breath.We need a history of winning hockey with a solid mgt team. For years the Braves were the laughing stock of MLB,now look what a winning history with a well run front office will do.Billy Wagner stated that he wanted to play for that organization before he retired.It would be nice if one day top tier NHL players WANTED to play here.I am excited about the changes that have taken place,efforts to sign Kubina and Max and the possibility of going after a UFA or two,but I will reserve my excitement until I see the actual products of all this posturing.
May 25th, 2010
11:51 am
I love it, is Colby drunk….Armstrong made $2.4 million last season and is looking for a raise.
FOR A RAISE?? Why in the world would he ever think he'll make more than 2.4 mill per season? If anything he should take 800k a season. Thats more like the type of player he is!! Good luck Colby, bye, don't let the door smack you in the &ss on the way out!!
May 25th, 2010
12:00 pm
This is Colby: "I swear to drunk, I'm not God."
May 25th, 2010

Does anyone know if the Blackhawks's Duncan Keith wearing a mouth piece when he lost his teeth?
May 25th, 2010
12:35 pm
I would think Anderson bringing in Todd Nelson was Anderson's decision, but I would have to think Cunneyworth and Weekes was more of a Waddell decision.
So, it's POSSIBLE, you might see Dudley hire John Torchetti as Head Coach, but also push for Scott Arniel as an assistant…etc.

Gavyn's Little Bit of This & That
Small Kids, Big Color Entry #35
Name: Gavyn
Age: 4 months
Location: Abilene, Texas
Color Inspiration: I started with the wall and then went from there. It's a collection of "A little bit of this and a little bit of that." It was my first baby's room, but I wanted to change it up a bit.
Thumbs Up Voting is only activated for 48 Hours — so don't delay!
Color Inspiration continued: I added the leopard carpet to give it a funky fresh look. I couldn't find any bedding that I really liked, so I bought shower curtains from "Anthropologie" and the bedding was made. I couldn't paint the walls because we are moving, so I added green paint to the dresser/changing table to brighten up the room. Gavyn has loved his room since I brought him home from the hospital. It soothes him and he loves looking at his bedding and the walls.
Tip For Using Color: I don't think you can have too much or too little color. I think it depends on the child and their personality.
Colors Used: Anthropologie-bedding
Roxanne the Artist- painted the wall
Ballard Designs- chair
12 Comments
Your use of patterns and color is absolutely amazing! That wall is a fantastic focal point for babies' developing eyesight! It's good to see another Abilenian on the site. :)
love it!
Love it--beautiful crib! I'm confused, however; you said you couldn't paint the walls because you're moving but that "Roxanne the artist" painted the wall. Either way, it's a shame that you won't be staying there because it's a wonderful room with lots of fun things. I'd love to see the leopard carpet, too. The angled photos are a bit funky, but the 1st shot captures it.
Very pretty room. I like the warm colors (grays, blues, yellows and browns together.) The wallpaper is demure and feminine and I like how it goes nicely with the crystal chandelier.
I'm assuming your little Gavyn is a girl? (I do know plenty of boy Gavins) Just not sure with your spelling of the name.
Oh-and I like the handpainted dresser too!
Thank you... I should have clarified myself. I had the wall painted 3 years ago for my first baby. I wanted to paint the rest of the walls a fun color to match the nursery, but I recently found out we are moving. I decided to leave it alone, hoping it would sell better with more neutral tones.
Gavyn is a boy, I thought with all the green and blue it would be easy to tell. I just couldn't find any bedding I loved. So this is what I came up with. Thank you for the comments.
Oh, this is wonderful. Nice job!
Hi, Tiffany! I haven't seen Gavyn's room since the week I painted the baroque wall! I must say, it looks 'amazing'! You've got a good design eye. I love the colors!
Thanks for the props.
Roxanne Spradlin
I remember when you had this room painted! I thought it was AMAZING!!! And of course, your style and eye for design continues to shine through! It's beautiful!
Very creative!
Love it Tiff!!
The crib is really unique!

Respiratory Diseases In Children Under 5
On September 10, 2009 @ 2:24 pm In
Respiratory illnesses are common in children under 5 years of age. Most children will develop three to eight colds or respiratory illnesses a year. This number may even be higher in children who attend day care or are exposed to tobacco smoke.
Most cases are mild, but about one-third of all hospitalizations in this age group are due to respiratory problems, including asthma and pneumonia.
Follow this guide to recognize which respiratory symptoms are caused by illness or infection and which are caused by non-respiratory conditions [1] —and when your child needs medical attention.
About the Respiratory System
The respiratory system has two parts: upper and lower.
The upper respiratory system includes the nose, mouth, sinuses and throat. If your child has an upper respiratory infection he or she may feel uncomfortable and sound congested, with runny nose, cough and poor appetite.
Upper Respiratory Infections (URIs):
The lower respiratory system refers to the bronchial tubes and lungs. Among children under five, symptoms of a lower respiratory infection are usually more severe than those of upper respiratory illnesses and may include shortness of breath, wheezing and rapid breathing. As a result, the child is more likely to require a visit to a healthcare provider.
Lower Respiratory Diseases:
Upper respiratory infections
Common cold
What is referred to as "a cold" can be caused by 200 different viruses. These viruses spread easily from person to person both through the air and by touching germ-laden surfaces then touching your nose, mouth or eyes. That's why hand-washing—for you and your child—is so important.
Most people are familiar with the main symptoms of colds:
Influenza (flu)
Like a cold, influenza affects the upper respiratory system. Unlike a cold, though, it often causes more severe illness and complications.
The common early childhood ailment known as croup (tracheolaryngobronchitis) involves inflammation of the trachea (windpipe), the larynx (voice box) and the bronchioles (tiny airways leading to the lungs). It is recognized by a distinctive "barking cough" that usually starts suddenly and at night. Children ages 3 months to 3 years are most susceptible to croup.
Signs and symptoms:
Viral infections and allergies affect sinuses the same way they affect the nasal passages, causing swelling and producing extra mucus. This makes it difficult for the sinuses to drain properly and as mucus accumulates, the sinuses become a safe haven for germs to grow. The resulting infection can cause sinus pressure and pain.
Signs and symptoms:
More severe symptoms:
Lower respiratory diseases
Respiratory Syncytial Virus – RSV
While it begins in the upper respiratory system, RSV is one of the most common causes of lower respiratory tract illness in infants and young children, affecting more than 90 percent of all children before the age of 2.
For some children, RSV is a mild illness with symptoms of the common cold. However, in 20-30 percent , the infection spreads into the lower respiratory tract's tiny airways—or bronchioles—causing them to swell, at which point the infection is known as "RSV bronchiolitis [7]." When there's less room for air to pass through the airways, the child begins to wheeze and have difficulty breathing. Some research indicates that children who experience severe cases of RSV are at increased risk of developing asthma [9].
Signs and symptoms:
For more information, read "RSV: Much More Than the Common Cold" [10]
Bronchiolitis is caused by an infection that affects the tiny airways—called the bronchioles— that lead to the lungs. As these airways become inflamed, they swell and fill with mucus, making breathing difficult. This disease affects mostly infants and young children—typically during the first 2 years of life, with peak occurrence at 3 to 6 months.
Bronchiolitis is usually caused by RSV (Respiratory Syncytial Virus) [10]. It can be also caused by colds, influenza (flu) [11] and human metapneumovirus (hMPV, which may also cause pneumonia).
Signs and symptoms:
Pneumonia is a bacterial or viral infection of the lung that causes the lungs' airpockets (alveoli) to become inflamed. Lungs may produce extra fluid, which can accumulate in the airways. Healthcare providers often use x-rays to diagnose pneumonia.
In the United States nearly 6 percent of children under 5 have asthma – that's one out of every 18.
Asthma is one of the most common causes of hospital admission and visits to healthcare providers in this age group.
Children with asthma have sensitive, easily irritated airways in their lungs. When exposed to certain triggers – like viruses, allergens, secondhand smoke, chemical irritants, cold air or pollution – the airways become more inflamed, producing increased mucus, mucosal swelling and muscle contraction. This results in airway obstruction, chest tightness, coughing, shortness of breath and wheezing.
Asthma in children varies by age group, and infants, toddlers and 4-year-olds are diagnosed and treated differently than teens and adults. The way asthma affects a child also varies from person to person, and symptoms may get better or worse at certain times. In some children, asthma symptoms get better as the child grows. While asthma can't be cured, symptoms can be managed by following the treatment plan you develop with your child's healthcare provider.
For more information, see these frequently asked questions [12]
GERD (Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease)
The opening between the esophagus (food pipe) and the stomach is guarded by a small muscle. When this muscle relaxes and opens up at the wrong time, small amounts of food or gastric acid can splash up from the stomach into the esophagus, causing a burning sensation and irritation of the lining of the esophagus.
Common symptoms in infants and young children:
Parents often report that teething causes respiratory symptoms such as runny nose or coughing in their young child. In fact, the symptoms may be a matter of timing rather than a direct effect of cutting a tooth.
Infants have a natural, passive immunity to germs and allergens in the environment. However, most of this natural immunity is gone by the age of 6 months – just the time when most children begin to get their teeth. As a result, the child suddenly becomes more susceptible to common germs in the environment and minor illnesses that bring nasal congestion, cough and fever. Even though symptoms may appear at the same time as new teeth, studies have shown they are more likely due to an illness or infection than to the teething process.
Signs and symptoms:
Respiratory allergies
Allergies are frequently to blame for breathing problems, especially during a pollen-heavy springtime or fall. Common year-round allergens include mold, dust mites, cockroaches and furry pets.
Signs and symptoms:
Food allergies
If your child has food allergies, coming into contact with the allergen can lead to a wide range of signs and symptoms that typically involve the three major organ systems in the body:
Some allergies – including insect sting, latex, medication and some foods – can cause a life-threatening reaction called anaphylaxis, which can lead to death in a matter of minutes if not treated. If your child is diagnosed with a life-threatening allergy, you should always carry auto-injectable epinephrine to use in case of emergency.

Thank God someone finally said this. I'm so sick of stating that Western intervention and invasion of other countries fuels terrorism only for people to respond 'They did 9/11 first!'
In 1953 the UK & the US staged a coup of the democratically elected leader of Iran and installed a dictator who was more to their liking. Today the US continues to support brutal dictators (such as in Saudi Arabia) where it suits them to do so. Palestine has been occupied for decades. The list of Western imperial foreign policies over the past decades could go on and on.
9/11 was not only only a result religious extremism and it certainly was not because 'they hate our freedoms.' Terrorism is often primarily politically motivated and anyone who is serious about preventing it had better take some fucking notice of this fact.

- Shutdown coverage fails Americans (via cancerninja)
Instead of providing aid for the hungry, House Republicans want to reduce the food stamp program — the most basic part of the social safety net — with $40 billion in cuts across the next decade. A showdown vote over this cruel plan is expected this month. The House majority leader, Eric Cantor, is leading a propaganda drive that invokes reform as its cause while blaming the victims of hunger simply because the food stamp rolls had to double to nearly 48 million people in the crunch of recession.
The Cantor plan would force an estimated four to six million people to lose the food stamps that now sustain them. It would invite state governments to ratchet benefits back further because they could use savings wrenched from the pantries of the poor for various other programs, including tax cuts. The measure's "work requirements" provide no job training funds yet mandate that able-bodied, childless adults who cannot find at least part-time employment will lose their food stamps after 90 days, even if the local unemployment rate is prohibitively high….
The falsehood that cutting food stamps is about saving government money is evident when the House plans rich increases in crop insurance subsidies for farmers. Representative Stephen Fincher of Tennessee, a Tea Party favorite who wants food stamps cut, collected nearly $3.5 million in government farm subsidies from 1999 to 2012. Yet he declared in a debate over food stamps, "The one who is unwilling to work shall not eat."
The Republicans play up a few abusers of the program to mask the central fact of their plan: the tens of millions of Americans who rely on food stamps are children, the disabled, the elderly and low-wage families. For their sake, Congress should reject the Cantor proposal as the national embarrassment it plainly is."

Civil War fortifications to be preserved by new park given green light by Stafford County
Union soldiers came and went by the thousands from Stafford's Aquia Landing and built forts to protect the port and rail depot.

By CLINT SCHEMMER
Stafford County has decided to save the best of its remaining, unprotected Civil War sites and turn them into a public park.
The Board of Supervisors approved the ambitious effort Tuesday evening, approving an action plan and creating a steering group to guide the work.
The public-private project, spearheaded by the local nonprofit Friends of Stafford Civil War Sites, aims to open the 25-acre park by 2011--in time for the start of the nation's Civil War sesquicentennial.
To get started, the Stafford board set aside $25,000 provided by the regional board that operates the Stafford-Fredericksburg landfill. The Friends group, which proposed the idea, has committed to raise most of the money and in-kind donations needed to build the park and its access road.
The park would preserve several Civil War forts, and other historic sites, that occupy a small piece of the sprawling landfill property in central Stafford.
In January, the Rappahannock Regional Solid Waste Management Board reshaped an 80-acre landfill expansion, giving up 3 to 5 acres, to preserve one of the forts.
Built to defend against a feared attack by Confederate cavalry, the earthworks were part of a network of fortifications that protected Union Army encampments in Stafford.
In midwar, the county was home to at least 120,000 Federal troops, and the Army's busy supply depot at Aquia Landing on the Potomac River.
The Union soldiers' presence was the single most transformative event in Stafford's history, said John Hennessy, chief historian of Fredericksburg & Spotsylvania National Military Park. Their log, mud and canvas homes amounted to the largest "city" in North America at the time. Stafford's civilian population, about 8,300 people, was overwhelmed by the Army's encampments, and it took more than a century for the county to recover from the war's effects.
Today, few of the forts and campsites have survived the waves of development that have hit Stafford. The landfill tract's sites are considered the best group that remain.
The supervisors appeared to unanimously favor the park, but bogged down Tuesday over how much of the landfill's $115,000 available money to use.

|First Emissary
|Yes, before completion of Season Unending
|Ref ID
|Base ID
- "The Empire, in its wisdom, has come to recognize Talos worship as a barbaric remnant of a bygone age."
- ―Elenwen[src]
Elenwen is the Altmer First Emissary of the Thalmor in Skyrim, who resides in the Thalmor Embassy.
Reading the Thalmor Dossier of Ulfric Stormcloak reveals that the Thalmor captured Ulfric during the Great War thirty years before the Dragon Crisis. Elenwen served as Ulfric's interrogator and torturer.
Diplomatic ImmunityEdit
Elenwen plans a reception, inviting some of the most prominent and affluent citizens and figures in Skyrim. The Dragonborn attends the party, disguised as a guest, to recover intelligence regarding the Dragon Crisis and learns that a member of the Blades, named Esbern, is being hunted by the Thalmor due to his knowledge of Dragon lore.
Season UnendingEdit
Elenwen appears at the Greybeards' peace conference in High Hrothgar, assuring her presence is only to ensure that the White-Gold Concordat is upheld. Ulfric Stormcloak asks her to leave, claiming she has no place in Skyrim's politics, and the presence of a Talos-hater is a deliberate provocation against him. General Tullius allows the Dragonborn to decide whether or not she stays. Her involvement in the following discussions is minimal; her presence has no real impact on the conference. She will, however, ask Ulfric why he reacted as such, arguing that it is not the Aldmeri Dominion who is killing his people.
- During the opening cutscene of the game, just after entering Helgen, she can be seen on horseback speaking to General Tullius.
- Elenwen was the name of an Altmer sorceress found at Dun-Ahhe in The Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind. It is unknown if the two share any other connections but it is highly unlikely.
- Her voice actor is Jean Gilpin, who also lends her voice to Boethiah and Meridia.
- Elenwen appears near Helgen if the Dragonborn returns there shortly after Alduin's attack.
- If spoken to on the road, she will mention "seeing you somewhere before" because she was also present in Alduin's attack on Helgen. She will not be hostile, though.
- She will also sometimes be found outside the Thalmor Embassy after fast traveling there.
- If spoken to after completing Diplomatic Immunity, Elenwen will remark that she knows that it was the Dragonborn who infiltrated the Embassy.

State police in Elkins arrested a Randolph County man after they said he violated an agreement of terms made after a prior arrest.
In 2010, police charged Shawn Shields, 22, of Valley Head, with distribution of obscene material to a minor after they said he sent sexually explicit materials to a 15-year-old-girl.
Those materials included pictures of Shields and more than a dozen letters requesting that the girl perform sexual acts on him.
Shields was ordered not to have unsupervised contact with minors.
Since then, police said he violated his agreement by being in contact with two other minors, ages 15 and 16.
Shields is in Tygart Valley Regional Jail with bail set at $140,000.

LG announced Optimus HD LTE during the mobile phone congress in February 2012 and keeping its fingers crossed on the LTE network, here comes another phone from LG Electronics, the Optimus True HD LTE is faster, efficient and reliable. LG expands its LTE smartphones network with Optimus True HD LTE smartphone.
LG Optimus True HD LTE
LG Optimus True HD LTE comes out with impressive specifications under the hold with 4.5 inches true HD IPS display with 1280 x 720 pixel resolutions and 1.5 Ghz dual core processor. It comes with 1 GB of RAM and has 8 mega pixel camera on the rear side to take photos and videos at 1080p full HD video recording. The front facing 1.3 mega pixel camera is quite good enough for a smartphone. This phone comes with most of the high end features like Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich operating system which is scheduled but as of now its Android 2.3 Gingerbread. That will certainly disappoint the users right now as many devices are now been coming out with Android 4.0 on board. 1830 mAh battery certainly makes it as the better smartphone.
LG Optimus True HD LTE would be sold in specific European and Asian countries. The variants of this device tied up with carriers will be made available soon in United States, Canada, Korea and Japan. Also we have LG Optimus 4X HD quad core phone in the pipeline to be released soon along with Optimus L3, L5 and L7 smartphones.
The question everyone has will LG come out good and compete with Samsung, HTC and Motorola in the race of Android smartphones? Do let us know your answers using the comment section below.

Dianna Agron
Dianna Agron has appeared on television shows such as Shark, Close to Home, CSI: NY, Numb3rs and a recurring role on Veronica Mars. She then appeared as Harper on a 13 episode series of short films called It's a Mall World, directed by Milo Ventimiglia, and airing on MTV, and then on the second season of Heroes, also with Ventimiglia.
Agron's most notable role to date is likely as Quinn Fabray, a high school cheerleader, on the FOX series Glee, which has received high ratings and critical acclaim since the series began in September 2009.
There's nothing like the pain of being cheated on, and Dianna Agron expertly captures the mood in Sam Smith's music video for "I'm Not the Only One."
In the clip, the "Glee" goddess plays a loyal housewife to Chris Messina's adulterous husband character while Smith croons the bitter lyrics overtop a smooth jazz progression.
She's been a busy lady as of late, and on Tuesday afternoon (July 29) Dianna Agron was hard at work on her new movie "Headlock."
The "Family" female took a break from the indie spy-fi flick, written and directed by Mark Polish, and strolled around the Beverly Hills set while photographers snapped up pictures.
Treating herself to an evening of marvelous music, Dianna Agron showed up at the Mayan Theatre in Los Angeles on Wednesday night (June 11).
The "Glee" gal was joined by a mystery guy as she strolled inside to enjoy a performance from Jack White, looking stunning as usual.
Fitting in an afternoon date, Dianna Agron grabbed a bite to eat with her boyfriend Thomas Cocquerel in West Hollywood, CA on Tuesday (May 13).
Rocking a darling blue floral dress, the "Glee" beauty and her new man left Gracias Madre Mexican restaurant after enjoying a delicious meal.
Gearing up for another year of excellence from the Metropolitan Museum of Art's Costume Institute, Lea Michele was in the house for the 2014 Met Gala tonight (May 5).
Posing with her "Glee" pal Dianna Agron, the Brunette Ambition star meandered around the arrivals area in a gorgeous gold gown, chatting with other famous folks.
Just days after welcoming his son into the world, Jason Sudeikis got to work on the set of "Tumbledown" on a farm outside of Boston on Thursday (April 24).
Proving he's a proud papa, the former "SNL" dude showed off his new addition to co-star Dianna Agron and a few crew members.
Kicking back with a few pals, Dianna Agron met up with her friends for a lunchdate in Los Angeles on Tuesday (April 22).
The "Glee" cutie donned a maxi dress with a jean jacket and nibbled on a few treats while chatting with her pals on an outside patio.
Heading back to her hometown for a special event, Dianna Agron attended the W Music: Live concert in San Fransico, CA featuring a performance by AlunaGeorge.
The "Glee" gal rocked a Rodarte for Opening Ceremony jack over a dress from Theory along with Rag & Bone booties and Jennifer Fisher jewelry.
Clearly enjoying herself, Dianna Agron partied hard in Indio, CA for Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival over the weekend.
While dancing in the crowd, the "Glee" beauty packed on the PDA with her new beau Thomas Cocquerel and shared a passionate kiss while held in his embrace.
Revealing what gives them motivation in their everyday lives, Emma Roberts and Dianna Agron swung by the Fruttare Hangout on Friday night (April 11).
Hitting the event in a two-piece eye-themed dress, Dianna was all smiles for the shutterbugs as she drew her "feel good moment" on Fruttare's chalk board, as Emma showed up in a cute lacy dress.

Jack Ryan Reboots with Mixed Results
- Friday, January 17, 2014
DVD Release Date: June 10, 2014
Theatrical Release Date: January 17, 2014
Rating: PG-13 for sequences of violence and intense action, and brief strong language
Genre: Action
Run Time: 105 min.
Director: Kenneth Branagh
Cast: Chris Pine, Keira Knightley, Kenneth Branagh, Kevin Costner, Lenn Kudrjawizki, Alec Utgoff
Even the death of author Tom Clancy last year hasn't stopped his book-turned-movie series of thrillers about CIA agent Jack Ryan.
The cinematic portrayal of Ryan originated with Alec Baldwin in The Hunt for Red October (1990). Harrison Ford then took Baldwin's place for Patriot Games (1992) and Clear and Present Danger (1994). The franchise then laid dormant for several years before being revived in 2002 for The Sum of All Fears with Ben Affleck in the title role.
Now more than a decade later, Jack Ryan has returned in the form of Chris Pine (Star Trek). In his rebooted incarnation, Ryan is an Afghanistan veteran (he requested to serve there) recovering from war injuries when he's recruited by Thomas Harper (Kevin Costner, Man of Steel) to work for the CIA. Ryan's mission: finish a dissertation that caught Harper's eye, then work on Wall Street and expose terrorist funding.
But there's a catch: Ryan can't tell anyone, including girlfriend Cathy (Keira Knightley, Anna Karenina), what he does for a living. The secretiveness takes a toll on his romantic life, as Cathy begins to suspect Ryan's dodgy explanations for mysterious nights out and trips abroad have something to do with another woman rather than work.
CrosswalkMovies.com: Jack Ryan: Shadow Recruit Video Movie Review from crosswalkmovies on GodTube.
Ryan's nemesis is Viktor Cherevin (Kenneth Branagh, who also directs), a Russian oligarch looking to ensure his legacy among his countrymen by bringing America to its knees. To that end, Cherevin engineers a plot to attack America and destabilize its financial system, leading, in Pine's speculation, to "panic, bread lines, a second Great Depression."
Jack Ryan: Shadow Recruit never takes off, but neither does it crash. Branagh is stuck with a globe-hopping script that substitutes shifting locations for narrative energy. Within the first several minutes, Shadow Recruit leaps from London to Afghanistan to Walter Reed Medical Center to Moscow, yet Branagh manages to keep the story centered on Ryan, his romance with Cathy and his relationship with Harper.
A memorable shootout in a hotel room is a first-half highlight, but problems emerge in the back end. A steady build to climactic events in New York is drawn out to the point of tediousness, including yet another sequence of a main character attempting to download key files before he's discovered. One of the ongoing mysteries of modern cinema is storytellers' insistence on showing us characters waiting to access key files. There's nothing more deadly to cinematic suspense than watching someone else stare at a computer screen, no matter how loudly the soundtrack pulsates or how furious the cross-cutting the reveals the threat closing in on the hero tethered to desk. Even less effective in this film is the car chase that provides the film's finale.

A man we showed you Thursday night being arrested after leading
police on a chase in Cordele is still in jail. We're learning more about what
happened and his criminal past.
Courtney Harden saw it begin right in front of Professional Touch
on 7th avenue in Cordele where she works.
"I saw the man right across the street in the van and he was
talking to the police and then I turned around and they started running back to
their cars to chase down 41 and 300," said Harden.
Cordele Police believe Robbins assaulted a woman in her van in
Ashburn before driving to Cordele.
When he went into a business next to Professional Touch, the woman
got out and asked for help.
"When I first drove up there was only one police car out
here, but I went out here to get her some tissues and there was three cop cars
and one of Expedition cop cars," said Harden.
Harden say the woman came into the store crying.
"It was an uncontrollable sob, is the best you can say
it," said Harden.
She asked the store owner to call the Crisp County Sheriff's
"What I know she actually contacted and investigator with the
county that has worked a previous case with them, told her where she was,"
said Harden.
A police officer showed up and tried to question Robbins.
"Mr. Robbins failed to comply and steered the vehicle towards
officer Haines and struck him with the side mirror," said Sgt. Taylor,
Cordele PD.
Robbins led units on a low speed chase through the city and into
the county.
"All we can assume is he drove around for awhile with some
officers on his tail and he finally decided his best option was to give
up," said Taylor.
That's when he pulled into a parking spot at the sheriff's office
and was quickly arrested.
Robbins was
arrested by the Crisp County Sheriff Office in November on outstanding warrants
from Florida. Robbins did not have a first appearance Friday.

I'm looking forward to Sunday, and not just because it's the weekend.
Don't get me wrong, I love weekends; but this Sunday is a special one. This Sunday will be my first Mother's Day with my son.
Two years ago, I couldn't imagine myself as a mother. I had lots of practice mothering both my sister and my dog. They didn't always like it, but like a mother, I was always there for them.
When my sister was little I helped give her a bottle and change her diaper. As she got older, I bossed her around and chased away neighborhood bullies.
When my economic stimulus payment passed through town last Friday (I have the good fortune to own both a low Social Security number and direct deposit), about half of it was already spent on life's necessities.
I filled up the car tank with eau de petroleum and the human tanks at home with food! I made another mortgage payment!
The following cases were adjudicated over four days of District Criminal Court on April 23, 24, 28 and 29 in Bolivia.
Wednesday, April 23
Judge Marion R. Warren presided over the following cases with prosecutor Erin Holden and courtroom clerk Michelle Warth:
Jerry Abbott Jr., speeding 64 in a 55 zone, $25 and costs.
Vlasta Adamovska, improper equipment, costs.
Allen Arthur Adducci, speeding 74 in a 60 zone, remit costs; driving while license revoked, voluntarily dismissed.
The Brunswick County Grand Jury under the direction of Judge Ola M. Lewis with prosecutor Rex Gore and courtroom clerk Kay Fowler returned the following indictments during a Superior Court session on April 21:
Charles Rutherford Abercrombie, 22, of 73 Southport-Supply Road, Supply; felony breaking and/or entering, felony larceny after breaking/entering, felony conspiracy.
Dana Lynn Bell, 29, of 19208 Mt. Misery Road, Leland; felony assault with deadly weapon with intent to kill or inflict serious injury.
West Brunswick High School has announced its third nine-weeks honor rolls. They are:
A Honor Roll
Ninth grade: Kayanna Causey, Darrell Cheers Jr., Jeffrey Evans, Summer Falgiano, Abigail Harrell, Brittany Hewett, Alex Humbert, December Martin, Maria Roblero Vasquez, Anna Zeng.
Tenth grade: Taylor Ambrose, Abram Benz, Tyler Corcoran, Julianne Donoghue, Kiatra Frink, Brian Gore, Lekurt Jenrette, Taylor Madison, Karys Normansell, Rebecca Sidelinger, Savona Smith, Victoria Stanley, Krystal Vonwald.
The Continuing Education and Workforce Development Department at Brunswick Community College offers short-term programs and classes for self-improvement, cultural enrichment, and academic achievement geared towards adults seeking intellectual stimulation, community involvement and social interaction, according to Karen Ladley, public information officer at the school.
A coastal sunrise breaks over the horizon, bathing in vivid hues a Carolina marsh looking very much like one in Brunswick County.
Other coastal scenes are captured in the acrylic paintings of Brunswick County native Norman "Marshall" Gore, a former prisoner whose work was recently chosen for display and sale at Sunset River Marketplace in Calabash.
Since his release from a halfway house in March after more than 25 years in prison, Gore, 46, is striving to launch a new career as an artist, in a new direction from his criminal past.
I was pretty excited to see the photo page on the Brunswick County Special Olympics in last week's sports section.
The excitement of competition was evident on all the participants' faces—smiling and cheering, excitedly (although some timidly) working toward their goals. The young man with the shy smile holding the golf club really made me smile.
Nothing epitomizes summer cooking more than grilling; however, grilling can be very confusing. The more recipes, cookbooks and perspectives you encounter, the greater the diversity of opinion that arises.
When do you apply the barbecue sauce? Gas or charcoal? Flip the food only once or frequently? High heat or low heat? Dry rubs or marinades? Cover closed or open? It can drive you nuts. Let's check out the variables.
"Every 15 minutes someone is killed in a motor vehicle accident.
"Drinking and driving accidents claim more lives than those lost from all other drugs combined."
Statistics, such as these, echoed throughout the gym of Brunswick County Academy and Brunswick Early College High School on April 3.
The staff and students of BCA/BCEC sat quietly throughout a program designed to show students what can happen if they drink and drive.

Prayers for my Daddy and Ruth
Well today my parents arrived at my house. I began talking to mom and asking her how dad's health was holding up. She told me he has been sick with a bad cough and spits up blood some. He has diabetes and heart trouble. Just found out he has an enlarged liver. As I look at my dad tonight I can see he is weak looking. I ask that everyone please pray for my dad and send him healing energy. He goes to the doctor next week on Friday and they are going to run tests on him. I just pray they can figure this out. Also a dear friend of mine (she's more like a mom to me... My Irish mom) she's found out she has a mass on her ovaries, they are not sure if this is cancer or not. They are going to remove this after new year's. I ask that everyone please pray and send healing energy to her. The doctor said she was concerned since Ruth's mother died from ovarian cancer. It's a lot to ask but these prayers are indeed needed.
All My Love,
Robin 🌻🍀🍒

Although it's called a bread basket, we also use it to keep fruit on the kitchen counter and it's great for this purpose because it doesn't take up a lot of counter space.

Baltimore's 100 best bars [Pictures]
Baltimore's nightlife scene is a reflection of its people -- extremely eccentric, but just as endearing. We put personality at a premium, and expect good value, too. So while we're happy to visit D.C. for the occasional swanky escape, given the choice, we'd take a cold Boh in a Baltimore bar nearly every time.
But which one? Ask 100 Baltimoreans their favorite bar and you'll likely receive just as many answers. That's because it's a diverse, forever-evolving community, susceptible to rising trends (craft cocktails, beer-snob hang-outs, sophisticated wine bars), but firmly committed to its long-standing haunts and dives. Last year, we broke the overall top bars list down into Top 10s (best places to go dancing, best places to meet singles, etc.). But this year, we stripped the signifiers and tackled the city's scene head-on. Raise a glass, and let the debates begin. --By Wesley Case

No. 73: Barfly's( Gene Sweeney Jr., Baltimore Sun photo / June 21, 2011 )
At first, its pizzas got all of the attention (and for good reason -- the loaded pies are no joke), but Barfly's has steadily gained traction in Riverside and Federal Hill as a low-key spot for local drafts and a game of darts. Monday is the best day to go, as all drinks cost $3.
