Nantucket Travel & Tourism
Click image to view entire Nantucket map
At thirty miles out to sea, Nantucket Island is a world away from the frenzied pace of the mainland, or as islanders prefer to call it, "America." Its incredible natural beauty and unspoiled historical charm make it one of the world's most popular tourist destinations. Because the island is warmed by the waters of the Gulf Stream, its temperatures tend to be considerably warmer than the mainland in winter and cooler in summer.
In season, hydrangeas of vibrant blues, pinks and reds accent weathered gray-shingled cottages, and rose-covered trellises conceal passageways to breathtaking private gardens.
Over 800 houses still stand that were built before the Civil War-- the largest collection in the United States, and its cobblestoned Main Street has been named one of Ten Great Streets in America.
The island's diverse natural landscape—punctuated with heath-like moors, serene ponds, salt marshes, creeks and cranberry bogs—is home to an array of rare and endangered plant and animal species. Nantucket is a birder's paradise, as its isolated location serves as a migration route and living habitat for hundreds of unique species. Anglers, too, are drawn to Nantucket Harbor and its surrounding waters, which teem with the delectable bay scallop, bluefish and striped bass.
From the mid 1700's until the late 1830's, Nantucket reigned as the Whaling Capital of the World, with as many as 150 ships making port in the Harbor during its peak. This renowned fleet was responsible for lighting most of the world's oil lamps until kerosene, a less-expensive alternative to whale oil, gained popularity and heralded the demise of the whaling industry. Other factors contributed to the decline, including the "Great Fire" of 1846 which destroyed the Town's commercial center and wharves.
By the mid 19th-century, tourism began to flourish, as Nantucket maintained its historic appeal and the promise of the "necessary, invigorating and delightful indulgence of Sea Bathing," according to an advertisement penned in 1828. The island lays claim to more than 80 miles of pristine beaches, all open to the public free of charge. Residents and visitors alike enjoy the scenic bike paths, and the annual Daffodil Festival, Cranberry Festival and Christmas Stroll are world-renowned. Restored in 2005, the Nantucket Whaling Museum received accreditation from the American Association of Museums, an honor bestowed upon fewer than one of every twenty-two museums in the country.
World-renowned dining and lodging establishments set in charming historic homes continue to appeal to those who visit its shores. Traditional crafts—such as lightship baskets and scrimshaw—remain popular and highly collectible. Art galleries abound, and the spirit of Nantucket's heyday as an artist's colony continues to thrive. A haven for shoppers, the island harbors an impressive array of shops and boutiques to satisfy every taste, from the traditional to the whimsical.
A world away, and yet extremely accessible by ferry or plane, Nantucket Island and its many charms await you!.
Did you know....Nantucket was recently named Best Island in the World in National Geographic's "The 10 Best of Everything" book?

Shannon McCaffrey of the Associated Press today offers up this look at a certain Republican campaign manager:
Atlanta — He is the man with the mustache who takes a rebellious drag on a cigarette in the Herman Cain Internet ad gone viral.
"We've run a campaign like nobody's ever seen," he says before taking a puff. "But then America's never seen a candidate like Herman Cain."
Meet Mark Block, Cain's unorthodox campaign manager. Perhaps no one is more responsible for the Georgia businessman's meteoric rise in the presidential polls than Block, a Republican strategist and tea party leader who's left a trail of questionable campaign work behind him.
Block has been accused of voter suppression and was banned from running Wisconsin political campaigns for three years to settle accusations he coordinated a judge's re-election campaign with a special interest group.
Records show Block has faced foreclosure on his home, a tax warrant by the Internal Revenue Service and a lawsuit for an unpaid bill. He also acknowledges he was arrested twice for drunken driving.
On the presidential trail, some former Cain staffers say Block broke promises. Traditional GOP strategists have been scratching their heads at his renegade tactics to win the White House, all but ignoring some early states in favor of a book tour and swings through states without early primaries.
Those who know Block say he's long been a maverick who isn't afraid to reset boundaries.
"Mark doesn't go to the how-to-run a campaign guidebook when deciding how to do things," said Jared Thomas, who was a state director for the anti-tax group Americans for Prosperity Georgia when Block led the Wisconsin chapter.
"He's all about advancing conservative ideals and conservative goals, and he really doesn't mind stepping on toes in the process."
In an interview with The Associated Press at Cain's campaign headquarters south of Atlanta, Block acknowledged ruffling some feathers because he — and the Cain campaign — don't "fit the mold."
"Can you imagine Karl Rove doing what I did with that cigarette?" he said with a laugh, referring to George W. Bush's straight-laced political guru.
"It's a joke around here, 'Let Block be Block," he says. He had been doing just that moments earlier, smoking his now signature cigarette on an office balcony overlooking a golf course.
The Web video has now been spoofed on just about every comedy show imaginable. And he seems both pleased and appalled at the attention it's received.
"This country is going to hell in a handbasket and that is what we're talking about?" he says.
Block's entry into politics came early. In 1974, he became the first 18-year-old elected to office in Wisconsin, capturing a seat on the Winnebago County Board of Supervisors.
But Block's reputation was marred when he was accused of illegally coordinating state Supreme Court Justice Jon Wilcox's 1997 re-election campaign with a special interest group that favored school vouchers. In 2001, he agreed to pay $15,000 and was banned from running Wisconsin political campaigns for three years to settle the case. Block made no admission of wrongdoing in the settlement. Block told the AP that he had not coordinated with the group and called the charges "ridiculous."
Unable to make a living in politics, Block paid the bills stocking shelves at a Target. He has the "Mark" nametag mounted on his desk at Cain headquarters.
Block said it was during those tough times that his home went into foreclosure and his personal life unraveled, resulting in two arrests for drinking and driving.
"That's why I don't drink anymore," he said.
But Block engineered a comeback when he was hired in 2005 as the Wisconsin director of Americans for Prosperity, the group founded by billionaire brothers Charles and David Koch. He also helped organize the tea party in Wisconsin and in that role met Cain, the former Godfather's Pizza chief executive who'd come aboard as a speaker after a failed U.S. Senate campaign in Georgia.
In Cain's new memoir, he writes that he and Block bonded when they were paired in a car for a whirlwind eight-stop, day-and-a half tour to launch new Americans for Prosperity chapters.
Still, it wasn't long before Block's campaign work again was being questioned.
In 2007, a local prosecutor investigated the group's robo-calls against a proposed $119 million school building referendum that would have raised property taxes. The prosecutor concluded that although the calls were misleading and distorted the impact of the referendum on taxpayers, the case was not strong enough to bring charges.
In 2010, a liberal group, One Wisconsin Now, said it had obtained an audio recording of a tea party meeting that indicated Block was involved in an effort to try to prevent legal voters from casting ballots in Democratic-leaning neighborhoods.
A tea party organizer says on the audio that Americans for Prosperity had agreed to pay for sending a mailer to mostly Democratic-leaning minority and student voters and then use any of them returned as undeliverable to support their challenges at the polls on Election Day.
One Wisconsin Now called it a notorious voter suppression scheme known as "caging," but law enforcement officials did not investigate.
Block also denied any wrongdoing in those instances, calling them baseless claims made by liberals who disagreed with his political views.
Working for Cain, Block has been accused by former Iowa staffer Kevin Hall of trying to cover up Cain's employment of Scott D. Toomey. Toomey was at the center of a financial scandal when he was part of a gay pride group in Madison, Wis., but later became a top adviser to Cain. Hall said Block told him to tell supporters that Toomey was not involved in the campaign and that they simply had Toomey continue working as an outside consultant, not a paid staffer.
Hall also complained that Block told him Cain would not spend as much time and money competing in the Iowa straw poll in August as Hall was promised when he was hired.
"There's a reason some people are former staffers," Block observes dryly.
In "This is Herman Cain!" the GOP presidential candidate writes that Block thinks outside the box.
"In my case, thinking way out of the box. And that's one of the reasons we have a great relationship," Cain wrote.

The news boys laughed their butts off and put Lester on the teevee almost every night thinking they were ridiculing him. It was only after he was elected that they realized they had been played like a fiddle. Jim, Cain hardly needs more name recognition in Atlanta. What happened to the "all politics is local" theme? Sure Cain is, but he has gone national now, sort of. I realize the irony in comparing him to Lester but do you have to be his fiddle?

Didn't bother to read the latest hit piece above. Just more of the same.
Interesting to me that the Tea Party is gearing up to campaign next year in earnest compared to the relatively small "Occupy" events that the media so loves to cover/incite. The Tea Party is demanding they get equal treatment on fees for their events. Seems that the Democratic party controlled cities are waiving/reducing fees for their more politically favored "Occupy" friends than their feared Tea Party members.
October 28th, 2011
10:26 am
Centrist, why have the approval ratings for the Tea Party plummeted? Every single major poll has them at 27%-28% approval. Is it that darn liberal media again?
October 28th, 2011
10:26 am
Most big city newspapers are essentially arms of the National Democratic Party. The Washington Post has been doing hit pieces on Florida's popular Senator Marcus Rubio. The fear of the Democratic Party is that he may be selected as a VP candidate on Romney's ticket, and will be attractive to Independents and Latinos.
I guess we will soon see him attacked here.

10:34 am
Really? People are still beating that "everyone fears the Tea Party" drum? I suppose if it makes you happy keep on whacking on it but the reality is that the TP has done as good a job of alienating themselves from meaningful political influence as the Occupy movement. The only real difference is that Occupy is still in its infancy and, whether you want to face it or not, the jury is still out on whether it has legs and will gain influence or if it is a flash in the pan.
Pretend you know all you want but the truth is time will be the ultimate judge of the Occupy Movement, not the Talk Radio Sound Machine.

Wow, Jim.
Nice oxymoron: "meteoric rise."
After all, meteors are falling-stars,,,and that is exactly what is going to happen to Cain when Republicans find the next new thing to get excited about.

Jim, what's your point? Did you do the hit pieces on Obama's campaign? You seem to be throwing anything out there you can dig up (Cain's Tiger Woods facetious endorsement before we knew the real Tiger) but ignored Alinsky, Ayers, JJ Jr. selling the vacant seat, Van Jones, Obama lying about everything including his continued smoking, his real estate deal with Rezko. I bet you truly believe someone spit at John Lewis too. By the way are you on the commode in your photo?

Chin Ho,
Those numbers could tell you a lot of things. Are they the judge of radicalism. Perhaps. But the numbers are misleading as the point of the Occupy Movement is in the name: Occupy. The intent there was to occupy public space as a way to bring attention. Occupation of public space = arrest. The trigonometry there is not that hard to do if you let your mind swing open a little bit and distance yourself from Talk Radio.
As for Radical, I think the most radical element of Occupy v. the Tea Party is that Occupy wants less corporate influence over our Government.
The Tea Party wants less Governmental influence over corporations.
I tend to think they both have a point in there somewhere.

Cain & Block will laugh all the way to the bank with conservative dollars in their pocket, and Cain's book sales going through the roof. They both know Cain will never be the republican nominee, and even if he wins the nomination by some stretch of the imagination he won't be President Obama. Bleed em dry Mr. Cain.

Gotta love politics. Rebranding at its best. What would you rather be known as? A rebellious smoking campaign manager or a campaign manager who has a history of voter suppression and that had been banned from some political campaigns based on your past, possibly illegal behavior? The smoking sure is a nice distraction from the past.
October 28th, 2011
1:35 pm
Cain has no money and every media outlet is running this stupid thing or giving it a sound bite. Their campaign is p-e-e-ing themselves because they think "its' gone viral it must be good". I am not impressed with showing a homemade video of a chain smoking campaign manager.

This "liberal media" thing kills me. I cannot believe that after 20+ years and the consolidation of most media giants under conservative owners they're still using that old saw. Can you all at least be creative in your victimization rhetoric? LOL. That does seem to be the new victimhood – "oh please protect us good average folks from the vast liberal conspiracy." Give me a break. I have an idea: learn the issues, and approach politicians' and talking heads' rhetoric skeptically. ALL of it, either side.
That being said – who cares if the guy smokes!! Geesh…

AMD Set to Release Budget R7 250X Graphics Cards Next Month
According to Videocardz.com, AMD is preparing to refresh its Radeon R7 series with the addition of the R7 250X GPU. It is believed the card is launched in response to NVIDIA's slated release of its new GeForce GTX 750 Ti GPU.
It is still unclear if the new AMD R7 250X card will be based on the Cape Verde or the Bonaire graphics core. But like the R7 250, it will come with either 1- or 2GB DDR5 of graphics memory. As observed by Videocardz.com, the custom cooler of the Sapphire R7 250X has been redesigned, and its bracket now occupies two slots. It has a recommended retail price of about US$125.

I am really not a great cook and don't like but have to do it. I've always loved French Onion soup, but never made it before. My son discovered he likes it after trying it at a restaurant. So I searched for a "different" recipes and found this one. FANTASTIC!!!! is all I can say. It was the best French Onion Soup I've ever had, and I made it. Definately try it. The wine and apple juice made this recipe key. A Winner!

This is the best French Onion Soup I've had! My wife requests this often and she usually cooks. I do brown the onions on a higher heat to cut down on the time.

On this day in music history: July 25, 1989 - "Paul's Boutique", the second album by the Beastie Boys is released. Produced by the Beastie Boys, The Dust Brothers, and Mario Caldato, Jr., it is recorded at Mario C's, The Opium Den in Los Angeles, CA, and The Record Plant in New York City from Mid 1988 - Early 1989. After the huge multi-platinum success of their debut album "Licensed To Ill", the Beasties will have a falling out with their label Def Jam Records over royalty payments and creative control, leading them to the leave the label in 1988. Quickly signed by Capitol Records, the band will relocate to California to begin work on their second album at the home studio of Delicious Vinyl Records co-founder Matt Dike. The Beasties will collaborate with The Dust Brothers on the project, constructing the tracks from dense layers of samples from R&B, funk, rock records, and numerous other musical genres. The completed results will differ greatly from the Beastie Boys first album, and initially will be looked upon as a commercial disappointment (in spite of positive reviews) when it initially sells roughly 700,000 copies (compared to the four million plus sales of "Licensed To Ill" at the time). However, the album will grow in stature during the 90's, with fan websites appearing on the internet discussing the album's intricate sampling as well as identifying the samples featured within. In time, it will come to be regarded as one of the greatest Hip Hop albums of all time. The albums cover photo features a wide panoramic shot of Ludlow Street on the Lower East Side of Manhattan in New York City. The original vinyl LP will be released with two variations of the cover art. The first being a regular gatefold LP jacket, and the second being a limited edition version with a eight panel foldout featuring the complete photographic image on the outside and inside of the jacket. "Paul's Boutique" will peak at #14 on the Billboard Top 200, #24 on the R&B album chart, and is certified 2x Platinum in the US by the RIAA.

Was I Right to Change My Daughter's School Because of Bullying?
Jan 23rd 2011 2:13PM This is easy, the hard part is finding out your child is being bulled. Go to a legal aid or law office and get them to write you a letter.

A dad who never played catch , took me to a game. hotdog stand , never called me his son or that he loved me. A mom who idea of a good time was to dump my sister and I off at gramp pa's and spend the day at her girl friends with her children. When My dad was dying I stood at his death bed and tryed to say I loved you but could not get the words out. You see he never said it to me. When my mom passed I buried her with few tears. Cried more when I had to have my dog put down (cancer) , you see that dog loved me. At Moms funeral my sister expressed the same feelings I had . Wanted to know why she wasn"t good enough to be loved. Some people should never have kids.

Kindle 2: Linux eBook from Amazon
Kindle eBooks have been around since the '90's, and although sales are still uncertain, Amazon has now upped the ante by not only releasing version 2, but also publishing parts of the Linux source code.
Linuxdevices.com has taken a closer look at the device. First of all, it looks good and is thinner than Kindle 1.While the display hasn't changed that much, the device now has 16 gray shades which help greatly with contrast adjustment. Pages turn 20% faster and thanks to the new user interface, turning the page, making notes and skipping pages has become a lot easier.
The SoC (System on Chip) is a Freescale I.MX31 processor, based on ARM11 architecture with a 532 MHz tact. Kindle 2 has 32 MByte RAM and 2 GByte memory with 1.4 available to the user. Large enough for 1.500 books, says Amazon. The original SD slot of its predecessor has been replaced by a mini USB 2.0 port and a 3.5 mm audio line-out has been added. Improved battery performance should keep the device running for four to five days.
Presently aimed exclusively at the US market, Kindle 2 will cost 360 USD, with downloads available via the 3G wireless Whispernet.
Source Code:
The source code for Kindle 2 can be downloaded here. The 138 MByte TAR.GZ archive contains a U-Boot 2.6.22 Linux kernel, Alsa, Busybox, Powertop, Gstreamer, Bootchart and other popular open-source programs. Developers are calling attention to the short boot-time and energy saving functions of the device. More information on Kindle 2 can be found here.

Murray swaps Falcons for the Warriors
ESPN Staff
October 4, 2012
Euan Murray will link up with Worcester after his spell in the Top 14 © Getty Images
Worcester Warriors have signed Scotland Test prop Euan Murray from the Newcastle Falcons.
Murray is currently on loan at Top 14 side Agen and his spell in the French top flight will come to an end in November. The Falcons are currently five from five in the Championship after succumbing to relegation from the Aviva Premiership at the end of last season and they have allowed the Scottish international to leave and link up with the Warriors.
The tight-head joined the Falcons in December 2010 after a spell with the Northampton Saints and the Falcons' executive director Paul Varley explained the decision to let the 47-cap international go. Varley said: "We believe that we have a squad strong enough to reach the Championship playoffs and gain promotion back to the Aviva Premiership.
"With this in mind we were prepared to release Euan as we look to reduce the outgoings on players."
Director of rugby Dean Richards added: "Euan has served us well over the last few years and with his aspirations to play in the Premiership, continue to play for Scotland and ultimately tour with the British Lions, this is a terrific move for him.
"We also have to be realistic and play within our means as a Championship team. The squad is packed with experience and has now got momentum after a series of wins, as we look to drive towards the Premiership."
The Warriors will be Murray's third Premiership side and he is relishing the chance to turn out in the top flight once again. "I'm really excited about getting involved with the Warriors," Murray said. "I have done a fair bit of research and I realise that the club is definitely going in the right direction. It's an impressive team sheet so I am looking forward to starting at Sixways."

While Hurricane Leslie is not expected to touch down in the Sea Bright area, signs of her distant presence were evident on the beach Thursday afternoon.
Across the ocean, a band of haze wrapped itself on the horizon with the NY skyline still in view. The tide was high, with some evident erosion along the shore, but the waves were low.
A sign posted at the entrance of the public beach warned beachgoers that the ocean is now unguarded. Yet, several people waded and a few surfed as seagulls scavenged crabs and remnants of fish that had washed in with the tide.
Below is a tide tables for Sea Bright from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's (NOAA) Web site:Date Day Time Hgt 09/06 Thu 01:25 AM 3.02 H 09/06 Thu 07:03 AM 0.54 L 09/06 Thu 01:42 PM 3.29 H 09/06 Thu 07:53 PM 0.75 L 09/07 Fri 02:13 AM 2.86 H 09/07 Fri 07:43 AM 0.73 L 09/07 Fri 02:27 PM 3.19 H 09/07 Fri 08:49 PM 0.9 L Date Day Time Hgt 09/07 Fri 02:13 AM 2.86 H 09/07 Fri 07:43 AM 0.73 L 09/07 Fri 02:27 PM 3.19 H 09/07 Fri 08:49 PM 0.9 L 09/08 Sat 03:03 AM 2.74 H 09/08 Sat 08:35 AM 0.88 L 09/08 Sat 03:15 PM 3.12 H 09/08 Sat 09:55 PM

For the Sea Bright shores, the National Weather Service predicts sunny skies Friday, with humidity and temperatures at a high of 82 degrees. A southern wind is expected to bring in breezes of five to 10 miles per hour.
Cloudy weather with a chance of showers and thunderstorms is predicted for Saturday. The temperature is expected to hit 81 degrees, with afternoon southern winds hitting the beach at up to 18 miles per hour.
Skies are expected to clear up, as will humidity, on Sunday with mostly sunny weather and high temperatures nearing 76 degrees and a northwest wind of roughly 16 miles per hour.
Take a look at the above photo gallery for a glimpse into the day at the beach and the far-away signs of Leslie.

After nearly five years of lawsuits and political acrimony at City Hall, a divided Sacramento City Council on Tuesday night voted to place a measure on the November 2014 ballot that proposes increased powers for the mayor and other sweeping changes to the way the city is governed.
By a 5-4 vote, the council agreed to the wishes of a group of business and neighborhood activists by calling for a vote on a measure that would include a so-called strong mayor power system; citizen committees tasked with overseeing a City Hall code of ethics and drawing new districts for council members; a neighborhood advisory panel; and term limits for the mayor.
The council vote was noticeably without drama. While previous debates had attracted large crowds of supporters and opponents to City Hall, fewer than a dozen people testified Tuesday and only one of those spoke against the plan.
It was the fourth time since Mayor Kevin Johnson took office in 2008 that a strong-mayor plan was debated by the council. Johnson first proposed enhancing his offices authority just a few days after his first term began and he has remained a vocal advocate for the change, arguing it was needed to bring Sacramento in line with most other large cities that also concentrate powers with the mayor.
I think its a win for democracy, as it will give the public the opportunity to determine whether they want to reform city government to improve accountability and make sure they, the public, can hold officials directly responsible, the mayor said in an interview following the vote. It also gives us a chance to bring Sacramento into the 21st century so we can better serve the public and be more responsive to challenges.
Johnson was joined by council members Angelique Ashby, Allen Warren, Steve Cohn and Jay Schenirer in support of placing the measure on the ballot. Council members Steve Hansen, Kevin McCarty, Darrell Fong and Bonnie Pannell voted against the proposal.
The measure would transfer some of the powers wielded by the unelected city manager to the mayor, including the authority to propose the annual city budget. The mayor could also nominate and remove the city manager.
Unlike previous proposals, the plan does not propose creating a ninth City Council district to fill the seat on the council dais vacated by the mayor, who would no longer preside over council meetings. With eight districts, proposals before the council would require at least five votes to succeed; votes of 4-4 would result in a motions failure.
The 11 members of the public who spoke in favor of placing the measure on the ballot included top officials in the Sacramento Metro Chamber of Commerce, influential pastors and builders.
This is a vote of confidence in the citizens of the city to determine what form of government they prefer, said Pastor Rick Cole of the Capital Christian Center in Rosemont.
Labor leader Bill Camp said he was concerned that concentrating powers with the mayor would take away from the influence neighborhood leaders have at City Hall.
We want someone making the decisions who lives with the results in our neighborhoods, who sees and lives what the effects of your decisions are every day, he said. What we dont want is a government elected by big money.
It was Camp who filed a lawsuit in 2009 that led to the end of Johnsons first strong-mayor attempt.
A signature drive had qualified the measure for the ballot and a deeply divided council voted to place it on the ballot. But a Sacramento judge later reversed that call in response to Camps lawsuit, ruling that the kind of full-scale revision of the city charter proposed by the mayor could be brought to the voters only by an elected body such as the City Council not by a petition drive.
When another plan went to the City Council in 2010, the mayor predicted that the council was on the brink of doing something very historic in the city of Sacramento.
Minutes later, the council voted 7-2 to deny his plans. In a sequence that is still talked about in City Hall, Johnson responded by laying into most of the council members who voted no.
Last year, Johnson tried again. And again, the council rejected his plan and opted instead to ask voters if they wanted to create an elected charter review commission tasked with exploring changes to the city charter. The voters overwhelmingly rejected the charter committee ballot measure.
This time around, the interest groups pushing for a 2014 ballot measure sought to distance the campaign from Johnson. Leaders of the coalition said they did not consult with Johnson during the drafting of the initiative, but that his office was updated during the process.

Blood Relations Chapter 16Blood RelationsChapter 16Yawning, Ronald sat at his desk that had been set up in William's office, twisted sideways as, already, his belly was getting in his way of sitting comfortably at his desk, and he had broken down and brought a pillow from home to lean against to help ease his back. It was spring, and a soft breeze drifted in through the open window. Feeling hungry, the blond set down his pen and maneuvered himself to his feet, taking a moment to catch his balance before walking to the door. It was no secret around the office that Ronald was with William romantically, nor was it unknown that Ronald was with child. Which lead to half his coworkers wanting to baby him, and the other half to resent him for his lighter work load…and how the boss 'played favorites' with him.However, all Ron knew was that he was getting fat—fatter faster. Even the doctor William took him too every so often had commented on how big he was for how far along he was. It w
Blood Relations Chapter 13Blood RelationsChapter 13Anger was bubbling to the surface again. It had been a few days since he found out he was likely pregnant, and his parents had taken him to the infirmary for a test, which came back with an unfortunately positive result. Ronald was pregnant. Pregnant, emotional, and currently sitting at his desk in his cubical, watching William as he talked to Grell a few feet away. Unable to keep his emotions pent up any longer, he stood up, picking up the tape dispenser from his desk and chucking it as hard as he could at the man."...and I said to him, 'You better get your slimy hands off my ass before I saw them off!' and HE said-!""Yes, that's very nice, Sutcliffe..." William muttered with a roll of his eyes. "Though I would rather skip the part where you nail him senseless to a tree."Grell scowl, straightening his posture with an aggravated look towards his friend. "Well, excuse me for trying to brighten your day!"William raised an eyebrow."Telling me about your sex
Blood Relations Chapter 33 -END-Blood Relations Chapter 33Almost a year later saw the small family relaxing on a small beach on the coast of Italy.William leaned back against the towel, sunning himself contently next to his lover, watching his two children play in the water with their grandparents and 'great uncle'. Smiling, with mischievous intent, he took a small bottle of water, opening the cap and proceeding to trickle a small stream onto Ronald's exposed back."Mmmph…" Ronald hummed. He was laying on his stomach, arms folded under his head with his eyes closed as he let the sun's heat dry the salty water from his hair, back, and swimtrunks, "That feels good, Will…""Does it?" William purred softly, leaning over to rub at his husband's shoulders. "Heißt das Gefühl schön, Liebe?"Playing over in the water with Kai on his back, swimming like a dog, Ciel took one glance over at the couple and made a face, turning to paddle back over to Alan, "Eeewwww
Blood Relations Chapter 15Blood RelationsChapter 15Grell waited until he was certain the blond had fallen asleep before flipping off the lights and quietly closing the door. Heading back downstairs, he sighed and glanced forlornly at the clock: 7:30 PM. Having a good amount of time to spare, be decided to busy himself with cleaning up the mess in the kitchen. Cleaning the kitchen turned to cleaning the living room, bathroom, and eventually the back porch. Hours sped by without notice, the sky outside swiftly turned dark as night swept her ebony shawl over the Realm.Scrubbing away at the remaining dishes sitting on the counter, Grell paused as a swift knock rapped upon the front door. His brows furrowed in confusion; who in their right mind would be calling at such a late hour?Muttering a few curses under his breath, he threw down the dish towel, straightening his cuffs whist of storming down to the front door. He paused momentarily, debating on whether or not to open the door. What if it was someone out for
Blood Relations Chapter 14Blood RelationsChapter 14As ordered by Grell, Ronald stayed home the rest of the day, trying to relax. The redhead had given him a list of things that might help him ease off the stress, and he followed all of them…or what he could, that is. Things like a warm bath and reading a book while listening to soft music he could handle…making himself a snack…well, that was best left for when Alan got home.However, as the hours ticked by, neither Eric nor Alan came home, and Ronald resorted to ordering takeout before he turned in for the night.The next morning, the boy awoke to a quiet house. He didn't hear the usual sounds of Eric in the shower across the hall from his room, and he didn't smell breakfast cooking in the kitchen. But his alarm alerted him that he needed to get ready for work, and he dragged himself out of bed, got dressed, and went to his parents' room, figuring they had a late night and forgot to set their alarm. But he found their be
Blood Relations Chapter 27Blood Relations Chapter 27As the weeks passed, the reaper realm was torn to shreds. Demons took over; killing any reaper they came across. The library was torn apart, collections became impossible and all souls fell to demonic consumption or were lucky enough to escape as ghosts. The Higher ranked reapers in charge of everything had been executed and sacrificed.Undertaker and Grell's home in Mortal London became the only safe place for the large family. The retired reaper had set up sigils around his property, warding off any demons that happened by. Of course, this also trapped Ciel within the property, which had been fine. He'd been welcomed into the family and often spent his time helping Ronald watch after the babies.The reaper realm was at war, and was quickly at a loss, their numbers nothing compared to the legions of demons Hans had supporting him. At first, Heaven had attempted to help, but upon the threat of Hell spreading into their pure
Blood Relations Chapter 18Blood RelationsChapter 18A couple of days had past since they'd first felt the twins kick. As William had predicted, they were getting more frequent and would soon grow stronger, and Ronald continued to blame his lover for it. Though he didn't mind, finding the blond's huffy state absolutely adorable. However, aside from the kicking came a new problem with Ronald's late night snacking. Twice William had caught him at 3 AM attempting to sneak downstairs for food, despite the fact that he'd told the blond countless times to just wake him up if he felt peckish.The result was a cooler being placed in the bedroom for such occurrences; filled with healthy snacks.Another issue though, came with the notion that neither had unpacked their shopping from the nights before, leaving them on the couch in the bags. Work had been so hectic lately, both leaving William and Ronald exhausted upon coming. However, it was something that needed to be done, and as such, one Wednesday night, William's OCD
Blood Relations Chapter 28Blood Relations Chapter 28Once they reached the old barn, Ron gathered some hay and a blanket, creating a bed for the twins and laying them down before shifting through their bags for the formula and cracking it open. There was an old oil lamp with oil in it on the wall and he took it down, lit it with some matches Ciel had packed, and used it to heat the formula while Ciel cleaned out the bottles outside at the old waterpump.Rain poured from the sky in buckets, thunder rumbling as lightening flashed in the sky. Briella whimpered slightly, not liking the sudden noise in the night, while Kai merely sniffled, reaching for his mother tearfully."The bottles are clean" Ciel spoke from the entrance, soaked from head to toe as he carried the bottles inside to the blond."Thank you." Ron took the bottles and filled them, testing the temperature before moving over to the twins, letting them lay propped up in the make-shift bed as he fed them both. "You shou
Blood Relations Chapter 32Blood Relations Chapter 32Late the following morning, once the sun was nearing its peek in the bright blue sky, The doors to the barn finally burst open, Grell marching in, practically dragging an older reaper behind him. Undertaker and Eric following close behind carrying medical supplies and the doctor's travel bag that he'd managed to grab before fleeing Reaper London."Oh thank Rhea!" Ron sighed, seeing the doctor—the very one who had helped him through his early pregnancy.Night had taken a worse turn for William; throughout the long, grueling hours, his condition worsened. The fever radiated from the depths of his body, his face red yet at the same instance clammy and very pale, almost blue. He shivered, unable to find warmth despite the shared body heat and blanket - not even when Soul rested beside him, her fur a form of insulation.Hearing Ronald's voice, he blearily opened his eyes, staring up at the unfamiliar presence in the barn."

correction: the constant source of his irritation. Red and black heeled shoes 'click-clacked' over his previously immaculate office floor, branding it with scuff marks."Grell Sutcliff, by any chance, is it your intention to wear a hole into those defenseless tiles?"If Grell heard the question, he didn't do anything to acknowledge it. The red-head whined nervously and raced to the office window, his eyes combing the courtyard below. "Where is she?" he asked. "Surely it's over by now! It didn't take us this long, did it? What if something w
For the Love of Stella - Ch. 3Grell shifted from side-to-side, brow scrunched in thought as he looked in the floor-length mirror. "Hmm, I don't know," he mumbled, turning to the cradle nearby. "What do you think? Too much? Not enough?"Stella's eyes swept over the Reaper, pointing at him and babbling. Grell brought his hand to his neck and nodded."You know, I think you're right." He bolted across the room to his dresser and pulled out a jewelry box. Inside, amidst many shiny pieces was a simple red ribbon, a choker that Grell fastened around his neck. "Better?"Stella giggled, clasping her hands together, and Grell beamed when he looked at the mirror again. The floor-length red dress encased his slender body like a glove. As he poofed the sleeves some, he smiled with satisfaction and tied his hair back to complete the look."Mmm, beautiful," he purred, and then returned to the cradle to sweep a happy Stell

A rat's nest perhaps, vermin ready to brave the streets in search of food that two-legged residents had dropped in their travels.But the daring adventurers among us would be quite disappointed to discover the real source.

What was a Grim Reaper doing with baby bottles, among other necessities for an infant? "Just in case," would most likely be the answer. "It's best to be prepared!"After stoking a small blaze in the fireplace, Grell sat down at last with Stella and the bottle, gently holding it to her lips. She fussed a bit, not immediately willing to accept it."I know, precious, but this is the best Mummy could do," Grell whispered gently. "Come now, you need to eat."After a bit more coaxing, Stella finally accepted, slowly at first and then more insistent as she grew accustomed to the strange device."That's it, good girl!" Grell said proudly, softly kissing her forehead. "Isn't that better? No more hungry tummies, right?"Stella was such a delight to watch, and Grell lost himself in the visi
For the Love of Stella - Ch. 7Grell fidgeted quietly in the seat next to William, who sent more than a few warning glances his way. But it couldn't be helped. Grell had been in this room too many times to count in recent years, and it still gave him the creeps."What do you think they want?" he asked innocently.William frowned and chose to remain silent at the pointless question. It was Grell's nerves speaking, and thus he tried to be understanding. Nonetheless, he was just as uneasy. For as many times as Grell had been brought before the board, William had been there to defend him, putting his reputation on the line. Thankfully he was skilled at making a convincing case in Grell's favor; hence they still had their jobs. But this time, the outcome was looking bleak, and he was sure that Grell would rather give up his place as a Reaper than face the inevitable.William turned his gaze to the small window standing between them and the hallw
For the Love of Stella - Ch. 6"Bloody hell, what were we thinkin', comin' here like this?" Pierce grumbled, laying low.The Demon band had transported to the Dispatch courtyard, and took refuge in the shadows. Night wasn't quite a trustworthy ally. The cover of darkness was beneficial, but the moon betrayed many with its bright glow. Thus, tonight, the building's magnificent architecture unwillingly lent a hand in cloaking the enemy."Do you want to eat or not?" Luci asked, her back pressed to a pillar."Course I do! But there's plenty of souls back in the East End that aren't guarded by a bunch of blasted Reapers!""Oh come off it!" Kat said, poking at his arm. "One teensy cut after that old man caught you slithering around the morgue

Thud! William winced, rubbing the back of his head after it painfully made the acquaintance of the headboard. But when he reached for his pillow, he was dismayed to find it had disappeared
no, not disappeared; pillows didn't simply vanish into thin air.He turned towards the large red mass beside him, and sure enough, there was the thief. Grell was
using it to cover his ears?It was then that William noticed the offending noise. Across the hall, Stella was screaming at the top of her lungs for the hundredth time this evening! He growled under his breath, rubbing his eyes before he grabbed his glasses and slid them on. This had been going on for too long now. Weren't children supposed to sleep through the night after a certain age? Why did Stella have to be the exception?The over-excessive snoring next to him easily answered that. Look at who her mother is, the walking exception to every rule."Grell?" No answer. "Grell." Still no
For the Love of Stella - Ch. 5Thanks to the chainsaw's roar, the snake snapped to attention the moment William and Grell materialized into the room. William didn't waste time in making the first move. The blade of his hedge-trimmer scythe extended at lightning speed, pinning the snake to the wall by its neck. It spit and writhed, and gradually transfigured into a male human form."Reapers, should've known," the Demon hissed, his voice reminiscent of his previous appearance. "This here's a private party; invitation only.""Is it now? I feel so under-dressed!" Grell whined mockingly.William tugged on his scythe's grip, tightening the blade. "If anyone is unwelcome, it is you. You have no business here."The Demon squirmed in discomfort. "We've all got to eat, right? You'd deny a starvin' man his meal?"The scythe pressed further, forcing him to his knees as he grunted in pain."I'm not in the mood for nonsense," Willia

He and William were still in the infirmary, and had been looked at and treated, but the doctor had wanted to run some extra tests on the baby's well-being. And they had been waiting for an hour for the man to return with the test results, "Will…make him come back faster!

For some students, however, picking classes and meeting new people are just part of the already jam-packed celebrity lifestyle.
We've found the 15 most famous kids in college this semester. These celebrities are pursuing their college degrees, juggling class and exams with the responsibilities of public life.
They're musicians, actors, models and athletes who somehow find a way to balance their college careers with their professional ones—an impressive feat for such young people. They go to school all over America, from New York University to California's University of Southern California.
We've listed them here in alphabetical order. Let us know who we missed!

TO: Tom Wilson
My brother in Scouting,
For 18 years, I have been a scout. Since the age of six, I have been a part of this scouting family. Indeed, over the years, Scouting has nurtured me, raised me, supported me and become a second family to me. These have been, overall, a wonderful 18 years. For the past 10 years, I have served on summer camp staff, devoting two months each year to be with my scouting family. For the past three, I have had the honor and pleasure of serving as Chaplain, caring for the religious and pastoral need of the literally thousands of scouts at camp.
During my time in the BSA, I have grown as a leader. To this, the scouting movement taught me well, and I am grateful. I have served as a Senior Patrol Leader as a youth and as an Assistant Scoutmaster as an adult. I earned my Arrow of Light, God and Country award, and Eagle rank and I wear all three with the utmost pride. I cannot count how many other scouts I have helped in turn to do the same. Within our elect Society of Honor Scouters, the Order of the Arrow, I have served in leadership for many years. I remember my time as Chapter Chief for the DeKalb District. I look back fondly on all that we accomplished my year as Lodge Chief when I led the Lodge of the entire Atlanta Area Council. The house we built that year with Habitat for Humanity stands today as a testament to our service. During my time with the O.A., I have received both the Vigil Honor and the Founder's Award, the highest honors a Lodge can bestow upon a single member.
My time in scouting these past 18 years has been precious to me. Let me say again, scouting is a second family to me through which I have met my closest friends and discovered my greatest mentors. It is for this reason that I am in such pain to continue this letter. I fully understand the consequence I will face because of what I will disclose, but it is because of my love for this organization that I pray it will change and stop setting an example of family values that include prejudice, hate, abuse, and intolerance; and instead return to the original values Scouting professed in the Scout Law: to be "Courteous," "Kind," "Cheerful," "Friendly," and above all "Brave" enough to honestly see the damage that is being done today by the stance it takes.
Looking back, I realize that this has been my case for my entire career in the Boy Scouts, but out of fear for what Scouting will do to me, it has taken me this long to say openly, I am a scout and I am gay. After all the pain I have seen, I can no longer let my silence be a sign of support for an organization that condones the emotional, spiritual, and at times physical abuse of gay youth in society today. Every year, over one thousand gay youth will commit suicide because of the violent and vehement prejudice and hate that receive from their family, schools, churches, and organizations like the Boy Scouts of America. Consider still the countless other gay youth that go homeless, thrown out by their families into the streets with no further concern of whether they live or die. What kind of example is set for families when the Boy Scouts, my scouting family, throws out a scout simply because he is gay, a part of himself over which he hasno control. You will kick this scout out based solely on the prejudices imposed by intolerant faith based organizations that try to control our Scouting Movement.
In my years, I have seen these same religious leaders, fathers in scouting, who claim such high Christian values such as charity and compassion, turn around and deny their own sons. I have seen the same man who proclaimed the high values of Scouting based on his religious beliefs turn to his son and tell him in no fewer words that he would rather him be dead than be gay. Let me put this clearly: these parents who threaten and throw out their children are following Scouting's example. You are ashamed of us, and so are these parents. And rather than live with the judgment of those around them, they would make it so that their own sons never existed. How can you do this to a boy? How is this scout-like behavior?
Why do you fear us, the homosexual scouts of the BSA, so much? You claim that a gay scout is not a decent role model. Take a moment to look back on my 18 years of service, my numerous accolades, and tell me now that simply because I am gay, as I have been this entire time, I am not a decent role model for those boys. It is easy to hate a faceless group, to blindly reject them without ever having to see them. I have been around Scoutmasters who praise my work at camp and in the same breath speak with such venom about gays in scouting and how evil gays are, having no idea that I, too, am gay. But now, look at me. I am part of that faceless group, but I am not faceless to you. You know me, as I have served for years in the scouting movement. I am not a faceless group without a voice that you can use as a scapegoat. I am not a faceless scout who you can remove without caring. But I am a scout. I am gay, and I believe that I still deserve the respect and love that this organization claims to hold in our Scout Law and Promise. I deserve this, as does every other member of this scouting family, gay or straight. For an organization that claims to build the character of today's youth, how many more will you blindly destroy before you even begin to reconsider?
Do you realize the damage that is done to a boy, who upon discovering that he is gay, is taught that he is not worthy of love, or even considered a normal human being, let alone a scout? He finds that in scouting, what once claimed him as a son and brother, he is now worthy of nothing more than crass jokes, derogatory terms, and the many other forms of abuse that he will receive from both scouting's youth and adults. I have witnessed the tears of these boys too many times. Do you realize the destructive self-loathing that you instill in these boys and the damage that does? Do you realize the scarring caused by a leader condemning a boy for "a choice" he has made when that boy knows deep down it is no choice of his own? It is absurd for the BSA to honestly think that a scout would choose a life that would force him to be ostracized and rejected by a family he has come to love.
What is more, though the BSA no longer publicly holds this stance, countless Scout leaders still argue that gays should be removed as they are the leading threat of molestation cases in our organization. First off, I worry that these same Scout leaders who would be so keen on protecting their boys would ignore the obvious statistics that the majority of molestation case are perpetrated by heterosexuals, not homosexuals. These Scout leaders seek scapegoats, not solutions. Second, I fail to see how these leaders, given the care of our youth, can look a 12 year old boy in the eyes and tell him that he is obviously a child molester and somehow a threat to his very friends around him. Is the damage in this instance not blaringly obvious? Finally, I cannot imagine a more revolting, baseless, disgusting insult than to accuse me of being a pedophile because I am gay. I personally know the damage caused by having innocence torn away at such an early age. I have counseled those who have been victims, and with the help of our own Youth Protection policies, I have helped identify youth that have been in unsafe situations in their homes and troops. There is no way that I could ever imagine hurting a child in that manner. It is time the Boy Scouts held themselves accountable and stopped using homosexuals as scapegoats when we are trying just the same to solve this problem.
I am a religious man, raised within the Church, currently a brother of a Religious Order, and have read my Scripture in its original Greek, so skewed arguments of divine morality to be used against me have no place here. I know for a fact that by the Love of God I am not an "abomination," though there are organizations in Scouting that would choose to insult my faith with such a claim. I earned my Eagle and have helped many others do the same, so arguments about my not being an adequate role model have no place here. I have counseled those whom Scouting has forced to the brink of suicide, so arguments accusing me of unscout-like behavior have no place here. I ask you then, for what reason would I and so many other gay scouts be removed? If only you could see all the scouts in the BSA that are gay: the Senior Patrol Leaders, the Scoutmasters, the Eagle Scouts, the Lodge Chiefs, the Region Chiefs, the Scout Executives. But out of fear of losing the scouting family that they have served so well and love so much, they are forced to hide. Running an organization by fear, how is that scout-like? The BSA treats us like a cancer. Not only is the gay scout cut out from the organization, but so are any other scouts that may show their support for him. I am compelled to ask again, why do you fear us so much? Why are we, who served scouting in the highest offices, such a threat to you?
I have seen what has happened to those before me. I know the standard procedure. I will be issued the standard letter of expulsion. My name will be removed from all records. Though I was presented my medal, here after, it will be as though this Eagle Scout never existed. The BSA will seek to strip me of 18 years of my life. I thank God that I have been able to continue working within the organization, helping those gay and lesbian scouts and scouters come out to themselves rather than live the self-loathing lives that Scouting would enforce. It is my hope that even though I will be removed, I can continue to help those who need it the most, though my work will become severely limited outside the organization. I hope there are Scoutmasters out there that will learn to look after their boys rather than condemning them. I pray there are those that will pick up where I must leave off.
Let me say again, I have the greatest faith and love for my scouting family. I have seen and been a part of the good that it has done in service to youth and the community. This is not a letter of resignation. I have no desire to leave the Boy Scouts, but for what I have seen and experienced firsthand, I cannot sit idly by as the abuse continues. I pray that for any scout who is "brave" enough to tell his scouting family that he is gay, that scouting family will be "kind," "friendly," "helpful," and "reverent" enough to love him regardless. As Lord Baden Powell said, "Once a scout, always a scout." He said this without any restrictions. I am a scout. Whether or not the Boy Scouts of America will continue to acknowledge this is up to you.
Yours in Scouting,
Br. Kenneth Hosley O.P.C.

A Community prayer vigil will be held at Community Clubhouse in Crisp County on Sunday, September 14,2014 at 7pm.
By Christian Jennings - bio | email Camilla, GA (WALB) - Dozens lined up before the center opened Wednesday in Camilla at the 911 center.
A hundred people are registered for disaster assistance in Mitchell county.
And in the first three hours, 25 people showed up to ask questions and fill out applications.
FEMA representatives say it can't hurt to stop by.
"Everyone who has suffered damage who lives in a declared county, should register," said FEMA Public Affairs Officer Don North. "We often find that after the insurance checks are received, and things are over with, that there's some other unexpected damage occurs. And if they're registered, they're protected."
Those eligible for relief should get a check in the mail within two weeks.
So far, 770 people have registered for assistance through FEMA around south Georgia.
The center in Camilla will be open through Saturday from 8AM to 7PM.
And the road situation in Mitchell County is improving. The roads below remain closed due to recent rain events.

"We have built a great winning tradition over the last 12 years with the Padres, winning two Cal League Championships and getting into the playoffs 10 of the 11 seasons and looking like we will again be in line for another playoff spot this season," said Storm President Dave Oster. "We hope to build on our success and create a bigger and better Storm and Padres brand in the So Cal area for years to come."
The Storm have won league championships twice during their time as a Padres affiliate including co-champion title in 2001 and most recently in 2011. There have been 46 Storm players that have made their Major League debut with the Padres including players such as Jake Peavy, Xavier Nady, and Chase Headley.
"We are thrilled to extend our relationship with the Lake Elsinore Storm for another two seasons," said Padres Executive Vice President/General Manager Josh Byrnes. "From Gary Jacobs to Dave Oster and Chris Jones, there is no question the Storm are one of the finest run organizations in minor league baseball. To have The Diamond located right outside San Diego is a perfect fit for our organization and our fans."
"Community involvement is something that is very important to our organization," said General Manager/Vice President Chris Jones. "We are glad that the Padres share those beliefs and have helped in our endeavors."

New York-based duo Ghost Beach teamed up with Noosa to create their latest nostalgic, 80's inspired jam 'Close Enough.' The track is part of their next full-length album – which currently remains both untitled and without a determined release date. The tune is well mixed, upholds a series of well-balanced male-female harmonies, and represents trop-pop in its finest and dreamiest form. Now that's what I call fresh and synthy folks.[soundcloud url="http://api.soundcloud.com/tracks/79031167" params="color=19c8c1&auto_play=false&show_artwork=true" width=" 100%" height="166" iframe="true" /]
