On Thursday, the Georgia chapter of the Sierra Club issued a list of primary endorsements that included Carol Porter in the Democratic race for lieutenant governor, plus eight Democratic and two GOP state lawmakers.
But the conservation group made no endorsement in the contest for governor – deadlocked between two Democrats, former Gov. Roy Barnes and House Minority Leader DuBose Porter of Dublin.
How do we know? Here are excerpts from a letter penned by Mark Woodall, vice chairman of the group's executive committee, summing up the dilemma:
It's unfortunate that the two best environmental office holders we have seen over the last 20 years in Georgia are both running in the Democratic primary for Governor. Here is some history on the record of Roy Barnes and DuBose Porter.
Roy Barnes as Governor gave us some good appointments to the DNR Board, although he didn't fire EPD Director Harold Reheis.
As Governor, Roy was against the mining of the Okefenokee by DuPont which led to the eventual agreement, which protected the swamp.
As Governor, Roy was against the attempt to turn Georgia into a hog hell with 10 million hogs like eastern North Carolina. DNR Board members Jim Butler and Jim Langford couldn't have gotten the rest of the DNR Board to go along with the regs on CAFOs if Roy hadn't backed them.
As Governor, Roy established GRTA to address the problem of the DOT roads and bridges only policy.
As a legislator, Roy helped pass MRPA, SB 317, the Metropolitan River Protection Act, in 1986 which protected the Chattahoochee. I think Roy was the sponsor. Roger Buerki and Alan Toney worked on this.
As a legislator, Roy sponsored and passed clean lakes legislation in 1990 which helped fix West Point' Lake's phosphorus problem.
As for DuBose Porter, he has been the leading politician to oppose construction of new coal plants in Georgia. He has spoken against new coal plants at hearings in Early County and Washington County. DuBose also spoke at the Sierra Club's preview of the movie COAL COUNTRY in Decatur last year.
As House minority leader for the last 6 years, DuBose has helped defeat a series of Chip Pearson projects, including narrowing of stream buffers, septic tanks on drinking water reservoirs and more dirt in streams.
As House minority leader, DuBose led the successful fights, at least three times, against the billlboard industry's endless campaign to cut down trees on highway rights of way.
As House minority leader, DuBose has tried to get immediate funding for passenger rail and other public transit. Until Casey Cagle as errand boy for C. W. Matthews pulled the plug at midnight on SR 845 in 2008, DuBose had negotiated a penny of the sales tax on motor fuel to be opened to any transportation use, a goal of the Sierra Club since 1990.
As House minority leader, DuBose fought against GA Power's SB 31, raising rates to pay for nuclear power plant construction before a plant is built, if it is built.
As House minority leader, DuBose fought the State Water Plan "ratification" and tried to get a plan that created planning districts based on river basins instead of the political districts we have now.
As a legislator, DuBose succesfully fought the sale of water withdrawal permits, pushed by DNR in 2003.
As a legislator, DuBose supported every effort to regulate Interbasin Transfers of water for supply purposes.
I could go on but I'll stop and review the endorsement history.
The Sierra Club endorsed DuBose Porter when he ran against Tom Murphy for Speaker in 1994 or thereabouts. We have endorsed DuBose many times as a legislator. After riding with Ogden Doremus and me to get yet another award as GEC legislator for the year, DuBose said thanks but we needed to find some more legislators to help instead of giving him the award every year or two.
The Sierra Club endorsed Roy Barnes in both the primary and general election in 1998. In the 1998 primary, all four candidates thought they should be endorsed: Steve Langford, Lewis Massey, David Poythress and Roy Barnes. We endorsed Roy again in 2002.
Republican candidate for governor Karen Handel uses a lipstick theme in going after all three of her major GOP rivals in her first TV ad of the primary today. Here's the link. We'll post the video box as soon as it's up on YouTube. The ad is Fred Davis' handiwork.
He did it last cycle, and he's done it again. Peach Pundit blogger (and now Gwinnett County candidate for the state House) Buzz Brockway has put together some splendid Excel spreadsheets that map the campaign contributions of all statewide candidates, and all candidates for the Legislature. Check them out here.
As reported Thursday by the Columbus Ledger-Enquirer, Rob Teilhet, a Democratic candidate for attorney general, is up today with this harsh 30-second spot criticizing primary rival Ken Hodges for failing to bring a deputy sheriff to trial in the 2003 death of Kenneth Walker:
Release of the Teilhet TV ad overshadowed a state Capitol press conference held by Hodges on Thursday afternoon to announce endorsements by Fulton County District Attorney Paul Howard and Solicitor General Carmen Smith.
Hodges was also endorsed by International Brotherhood of Police Local 623, which represents 1,000 or so law enforcement officers in metro Atlanta.
"Ken Hodges understands the needs of law enforcement because he carried a badge for 15 years," Lt. Scott Kreher of the Atlanta Police Department, president of the local, is quoted as saying.
Creative Loafing has a nice catch-up piece on the Democratic primary brawl between state Sen. Vincent Fort of Atlanta and biology teacher Graham Balch:
With weeks until polls close, both candidates have begun blasting each other in quotes to the press and glossy mailers. Balch has knocked Fort's combative style, his missed Senate votes and his inclusion on a list of lawmakers in 2009 who failed to pay their taxes.
"I'm not happy our state senator is raising our taxes while not paying his own," says Balch.
Fort, who said he's since settled his debts, has fired back with, among other charges, a tactic that worked well for Kasim Reed during his mayoral race against Mary Norwood and Borders: Questioning whether Balch, who, records show, has voted in two Republican primaries and once worked for an eco-minded GOP congressman, is really a Democrat.
"Graham Balch can't buy this election," says Fort, who hasn't had an opponent since 1998. "He can't hide his Republican-in-Democrat clothing."
Jody Hice, a Republican candidate in the 7th District scrum to replace U.S. Rep. John Linder, has ingratiated himself with untold numbers of Georgians in this press release:
Jody Hice (GA-7) is the only candidate running for office in the State of GA that has agreed to honor the National Political Do Not Contact Registry. This means that voters from GA-7 who have registered their phone number at StopPoliticalCalls.org should expect their phones to be quiet – at least from robocalls from Jody Hice.

The GA Sierra Club web site says (from 2009) Woodall is "At-Large Excom (executive committee), Chapter Chair and Legislative Chair." Is that out-of-date? If so, who is the current At-Large Excom Chapter Chair?

Don't be fooled, Roy Barnes is no friend of the environment.
Case in point, it is odd that he is suddenly interested in burning wood chips for power.
His client, in a criminal proceeding involving Cobb Energy, is Dwight Brown, who is trying to build two coal fired power plants in middle and south GA, in Washington and Ben Hill Counties.
Brown, and his spokesman, Dean Alford, have explicitly rejected the use of wood fueled power as "uneconomic," meaning that they cannot make as much money from it as they can by building a coal fired plant that will put people to work in coal producing states outside GA.
If this is such a good idea to Barnes, why isn't he using his influence over Brown to get this done?
DuBose Porter and Jeff Chapman are the best candidates on the environment.

Rob Telheit apparently feels that no matter what the circumstances may have been regarding the unfortunate shooting of Kenneth Walker and the subsequent prosecution of the officer involved, that it's okay to sit in the cheap seats after the fact and take advantage of a grieving mother to judge that the decisions made by Ken Hodges were wrong and racially motivated. Had Telheit had ANY experience as a prosecutor, he may have felt differently about the circumstances surrounding the shooting. Anyone who knows Ken Hodges personally or professionally also knows that he's a man of character, compassion and integrity. As a prosecutor, you will always have people who, based on incomplete or no information, question your decisions and Monday morning quaterback what you've done or didn't do. It's easy when you're in law school or your legal practice is in workers' compensation. It's easy, but it also lacks credibility. While Rob Telheit was chasing coeds in college, Hodges was breaking his back prosecuting criminals, especially those victimizing African-American communities in his judicial district. Those who know Hodges's track record know he protected children and the elderly from abuse and went after corrupt public officials, including those who wore a badge. Does the name "Sidney Dorsey" ring a bell with anyone? Hodges was a key prosecutor in putting Dorsey away for the rest of his life for having DeKalb County Sheriff-elect Derwin Brown assassinated. So, those who don't know all the facts surrounding the unfortuante shooting of Kenneth Walker, shouldn't be drawn into Telheit's cynical and racially motivated innuendos. Shame, shame, shame, little Rob.

The Phoebe Putney Scandal, in and of itself, is fully sufficient to know with absolute moral certainty that Ken Hodges, currying favor with the powerful and wealthy against the People, is unworthy of the Public Trust. His failure to bring to justice a police officer who without provocation murdered an innocent, unarmed man is an abomination: an injustice against the People and Constitution of the State of Georgia Hodges falsely swore to protect.
By grace, Rob Teilhet should have this opportunity to demonstrate his good character as our next Attorney General. After Thurbert Baker there is great room for improvement.

Only three candidates were concerned enough to show up in Columbia County to debate about the critical water supply in our state. I would like for Barnes, Handel, Oxendine and the rest of the candidates to tell us if they plan on draining water from the Savannah River and dumping it into the Chattahoochee. This action would involve us in a costly water war with South Carolina and endanger Georgia's commerce at the Port of Savannah. We are already in a legal battle with Florida and Alabama concerning the use of water in our region. Porter, Poythress, and Canon stated they are opposed to draining water from the Savannah. Roy Barnes do you have the intestinal fortitude to tell us where you stand on the issue?

Oxendine and Deal have sent me emails opposing interbasin transfers,

Graham Balch = Not what he seems!!!
I . Graham the Republican:
A. Republican Voting from 1996 to 2006:
i. In Georgia, in 1996 (Clinton v. Dole), Graham Balch voted as a Republican in the Presidential Primary. Source: Fulton County Voter Registration Records
ii. In Georgia, in 2000 (Bush v. Gore), Graham Balch voted as a Republican in the Presidential Primary. Source: Fulton County Voter Registration Records
iii. In Pennsylvania, in 2004, (Bush v. Kerry), Graham Balch registered to vote as a Republican. Source: Pennsylvania Voting Registration Records
iv. Even though Balch now jumps on the Obamawagon when it was politically expedient to be a Democrat, he admits he still might vote Republican! On February 13, 2008 Graham Balch writes: "I have struggled in my thinking about whether Hillary won if I would vote for her or McCain." "I would be interested to know what others would do. . . whether you would vote for HRC or McCain?" Source: Graham's blog see this link: http://my.barackobama.com/page/community/blog/grahambalch
B. Republican Allegiances and Ties:
i. On page 91 line 7 of his 1997 104 page College Senior Thesis entitled: "The Republican's Environmental Policy," Graham Balch writes: "The answer is to keep Republican environmentalists in Congress."
ii. Upon graduating, Graham moved to Washington D.C. where he went to work as a staff assistant for Republican Congressman Sherwood Louis Boehlert.
iii. Graham thinks Obama's "Dream Cabinet" should consist of four Republicans, including Paul Weyrich, hard core-right wing, racist, anti gay, anti-Jew extremist and founder of Moral Majority and the Heritage Foundation who condemned homosexuals amongst others. Source, Graham's own writing: http://my.barackobama.com/page/community/blog/grahambalch
If you ask Graham about any of this, he has lied and said he didn't vote Republican, "or he voted to benefit the opposition" B.S. If think any of these are lies, submit an Open Records Request for all of this. Pursuant to the law, they have three days to reply back to you with this information in Georgia. Call the Philadelphia Voting Registration Records. They will confirm it. Look all of this up, it is there. Graham Balch is funded by all the big Chamber of Commerce, Republican Corporate Interests. They are seeking to bring Vincent Fort down because he is the one senator who has consistently fought for what is right, fought against sub-prime lending, fought for the poor, and fought for Democratic ideals.
All you liberal white Atlanta folks who think that Graham is this cool white guy who went to the Peace Corps, voted for Obama and hikes the Appalachian trail, he has you fooled!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Don't buy it. Black people, Gay people the guy has you DOUBLY SERIOUSLY FOOLED. This is the dude that suggested the biggest Anti-Gay, Anti-Semite, Republican, Racist Paul Weyrich ON Obama's "Dream cabinet!!!" Stop drinking the KoolAid and open your eyes!!!!!
Demand the AJC, Creative Loafing etc. fact check all of this, or open records request it yourself.
July 16th, 2010
3:50 pm
@AJC please stop censoring
So what are you saying? White people are only half as foolish as "Black people [and] Gay people"? Glad you're here to set us all straight.
I'd like to see an article detailing what's up with Fort not paying his taxes (has he since been audited?) and a good break down of all the votes he's missed. That would be some interesting things to learn about.

Crime And Punishment In Major League Baseball: The Case Of The Designated Hitter And Hit Batters
Abstract"Past studies have found a positive correlation between the use of the designated hitter in baseball and hit batters, but the reason for this is debatable. Using a new micro-level data set of individual plate appearances, we control for detailed cost-benefit attributes that affect the decision calculus of the pitcher to isolate the deterrent impact of requiring the pitcher to bat. We find that pitchers hit batters strategically, and the deterrent effect of requiring pitchers to bat explains 60%-80% of the difference in hit batsmen between leagues. We also identify evidence of direct retaliation against plunking pitchers." ("JEL" D81, KC42, L83) Copyright 2006 Western Economic Association International.

By Jessica Bowman – email
PASCAGOULA, MS (WLOX) - A request from the Unified Command has the NOAA Ship Gordon Gunter, a fisheries research vessel, leaving Thursday morning to conduct research on the BP Deepwater Horizon oil spill underwater plume. Jessica Bowman spoke with one NOAA Research Fishery Biologist who said sound waves will help determine if oil is deep within the ocean floor.
Crews aboard the 224 foot fisheries research vessel said there is a tremendous amount of information about the oil distribution on the surface of the water from the oil spill, but the unknown is what's happening beneath the surface.
Cmdr. Dave Score said, "They've brought us in and are recasting us to tool up and go out and investigate the characteristics of the potential deep water plumes associated with the oil spill."
NOAA Chief Scientist Russell Brown said, "Our initial plan is to conduct acoustic operations or acoustic transects in the vicinity of the spill."
NOAA's Chief Scientist for the mission said this is a sound system that is built directly into the hull of the ship. With the touch of a button the team will emit sound into the water at a certain frequency. If there is oil beneath the surface the sound will actually reflect back to the ship which will be monitored by a hydrophone.
NOAA's Chief Scientist Russell Brown said, "The objective here is to look at the back scatter that comes back from the acoustic sampling to see if we can detect oil there at depths within the ocean."
If they do have success detecting oil layers then they have a number of technologies they will apply to try and confirm the presence of oil beneath the surface of the sea.
"We have a very specialized atomized under water vehicle. This is a vehicle that looks much like a torpedo, it has a little propeller on the back and we can program that to go down and sample and very deep and specific depths," said NOAA's Chief Scientist Russell Brown.
The AUV device has ten water collection devices that are about the size of a two liter bottle that it can bring to the surface for the crew to analyze.
The mission is a collaborative project between NOAA, the University of New Hampshire, the Monterey Bay Aquarium Research Institute and the University of South Florida. The crew of 35 is scheduled to leave Thursday at 10a.m. and will be back in about eight days.

Galpin Auto Sports brought the rain, the pain, and a whole lot of noise to the 2011 SEMA Auto Show . With a total of 12 new customized models, GAS really did their homework for some aftermarket action in Las Vegas.
Leading the way was the 2012 Ford Mustang Shelby GT500 Super Snake , the modded super muscle car that was treated to an extensive aerodynamic facelift and, more importantly, some performance tweaking that blew the lid off of the Las Vegas Convention Center.
We'll proceed the ceremonies and tell you about Galpin's very own hand-made steel body panels that were fitted into the GT500 Super Snake, adding nine inches to the car's width. To give the car a little old-school Super Snake touch, Galpin custom painted the exterior with a Black paint finish with Tungsten Grey racing stripes, giving that added touch of exclusivity that only a GT500 Super Snake can have. On top of all that, the one-off muscle car also received a new set of lightweight aluminum wheels with their own Super Snake center caps wrapped in Pirelli tires, as well as a set of electric exhaust cutouts.
But the biggest part of the whole Galpin program lies under the GT500 Super Snake's hood. Already boasting of a 5.4-liter supercharged V8 engine that spews out 750 horsepower, Galpin Auto Sports installed a Kenne Bell liquid-cooled 3.6-liter supercharger system that increased the output of the mighty GT500 Super Snake straight into the vicinity of 1,000 horsepower.
In so many words: wow.
UPDATE 11/07/2011: We have added live images from the SEMA Show. Check them out in the picture gallery!

In Brooklyn, a Prosecutor Finds Losing Ultra-Orthodox Support Might Cost His Job
Joe Hynes faces an unprecedented electoral defeat after longtime Jewish supporters leave his side
It was in his defense of Kol Tzedek that Hynes managed to alienate the Orthodox community. "I haven't seen this kind of intimidation in organized crime cases or police corruption," Hynes said in one interview, explaining why Kol Tzedek was necessary. Hynes claimed that as soon as a defendant's name came up, community leaders "would engage this community in a relentless search for the victims," Hynes said in another. "And they're very, very good at identifying the victims. And then the victims would be intimidated and threatened, and the case would fall apart."
Last year, Hynes made comments during and after the trial of Nechemya Weberman, an unlicensed counselor and spiritual mentor who was convicted of 59 counts of sexual abuse and sentenced to 103 years in prison, that particularly rankled members of the community. The week of Weberman's sentencing, Hynes wrote an op-ed in the Daily News comparing the intimidation of abuse victims in Orthodox communities to "the Mafia, but at least in Mafia cases we can offer victims witness protection. That does not work in these insular communities, where it is more difficult to leave behind friends and family and go into hiding." The language Hynes chose reinforced the idea that he was, in a sense, putting the community on trial. "Hynes used the Hasidic way of life to secure a conviction," said one community member who now supports Thompson. "He started going crazy on the community. He goes out there and uses radioactive terms. He really pissed off a lot of people. It's the way you prosecute that is the sticking point."
Thompson, 48, is best known for representing the Hotel Sofitel maid who accused Dominique Strauss-Kahn, the French politician and former IMF chief, of sexually assaulting her at the hotel. His campaign has been predicated on a vision of "fairness and equality for all." When we spoke last week, Thompson cited as an example of a lack of fairness the revelation that Hynes' office had wrongfully convicted a man of murder, prompting the review of 50 cases.
In the primary, Thompson attracted the backing of Jerrold Nadler, a Democratic congressman who represents a swath of Brooklyn that includes both Borough Park and newly gentrified Red Hook—which may have helped Thompson secure support in secular Jewish precincts. "The Democrats in the borough have changed in many ways," said Fidler. "A good portion of the African Americans are not aware of the heroic things Joe did before he became D.A., and they aren't aware of the progressive measures he took as a prosecutor."
Hynes did himself no favors by agreeing to appear in a CBS reality show about his office, Brooklyn D.A. Aside from drawing objections from the Thompson campaign, which argued that it amounted to free campaign advertising, the show brought further attention to the wrongful convictions in his office. (The Hynes campaign did not respond to requests for comment for this story.)
Thompson also won the support of Dov Hikind, the state assemblyman and Orthodox kingmaker, who very publicly endorsed Hynes' challenger, leading him around Borough Park and encouraging people to vote for him. (Hikind did not respond to requests for comment.) Hikind's district nevertheless went to Hynes by about four to one, but voting was down citywide, including in Brooklyn, according to the veteran political consultant Jerry Skurnick.
Yet, since his primary loss, Hynes has lost the support of even his closest Orthodox allies. Fidler, his longtime friend, switched his endorsement to Thompson, his fellow Democrat, after Hynes initially indicated he wouldn't make a run as a Republican. "I honor my commitments," Fidler said.
Similarly, both Satmar sects have endorsed Thompson, though Hynes attracted the support of the Ahrony sect of the Satmar community during the primary. Hynes continues to shed leaders of the Orthodox community. Next Monday, Leon Goldenberg and Abe Biderman—leaders of the Agudath Israel—will host a breakfast for Thompson.
Nevertheless, Hynes continues to make personal appeals to his former allies. Recently, the D.A. was quoted as saying in response to the Satmar endorsement of Thompson, "There's no religious mandate that would prevent you from rethinking your endorsement."
Editor's note: This story has been updated to reflect that the breakfast leaders of the Agudath Israel are hosting for Thompson will take place on Monday, Oct. 28. It has not already been held.

In a matter of months, NBA Commissioner David Stern will step aside, giving way to Adam Silver.
It's expected to be a relatively fluid transition considering Silver has been Stern's shadow for a considerable amount of time, though, it's possible one of Silver's first big moves as commissioner would be to remove divisions in the NBA:
"As David said, the league is in such great shape. I mean, Steve (Kerr) and I were talking basketball the other night out in Brooklyn and [he] raised the same question with me about whether divisions have outlived their usefulness. One thing I have learned from David over all those years…one thing he taught me and all of my colleagues at the NBA is every day we should wake up and take a fresh look at everything we do. And I think divisions fall into that category. Obviously historically, based on geography in terms of weighted schedule and convenience of travel, the goal was to enhance rivalries and I'm not sure if that's still what's happening and so that's something I'm sure that the competition committee, when it next meets, will be taking a fresh look at."
There was a time when divisions made sense, but now that the NBA plays a 'balanced schedule' (meaning teams no longer play inner-division teams more than league counterparts) there's really not much of a need for them.
Of course, it's a move that seems more cosmetic in nature than anything, but divisions really serve no purpose assuming the NBA plans to remain on a balanced schedule.

30 ways to help TASK
New Book Based on TASK
Mission Possible: How You Can Start & Operate a Soup Kitchen
In February 2001 with the support of the Trenton Area Soup Kitchen (TASK) Board of Trustees, a group of artists who regularly use the services of the soup kitchen formed an artists' cooperative known as the A-TEAM Artists of Trenton. The purpose of the group is fourfold:
Studio space and basic supplies are generously provided to the A-TEAM artists by TASK, and the day-to-day workings of the group are coordinated by a longtime TASK volunteer. The artists and volunteer coordinator meet once a week in the multi-purpose room at TASK for about five hours, during which time the artists work on projects of their choice. All the A-TEAM artists are self-taught, and they work in a wide variety of media, including paint, pencil and ink, pastel, collage, and found-object construction. Their work is displayed throughout the year at TASK and at group and individual shows in area galleries and other such spaces when they are offered. The group is open to all members of the soup kitchen community, and the "price of admission" is a piece of artwork and participation, when possible, at A-TEAM meetings.
The A-TEAM artists hold biweekly meetings to plan exhibits and projects, make policy and budgetary decisions, show and discuss new artwork, host visits from local artists and other guests and arrange field trips. In addition to the individual artwork they create throughout the year, A-TEAM members, as a group, have designed and produced note cards and posters that are on sale at local art galleries and museums as well as at all A-TEAM exhibits and year-round at the soup kitchen. Proceeds from all sales, whether individual or group, go directly to the artists.
If you would like to attend a meeting, volunteer to work with the A-TEAM or find out more about the group, please leave a message at 609-695-5456 ext 129. The TASK artists would be grateful for any suggestions you might have and would like to thank the many members of the community who have expressed interest in the A-TEAM and offered encouragement to the artists.

Demi needed some air. This whole dating Joe thing was great at the start, but now it was just becoming complicated. To be honest, she would've rather them stay private about the relationship. Now that everyone knew, she felt like this huge pressure was on her shoulders.
She walked outside and took a deep breath. The cool air blew on her face and she thought about nothing, not about Joe or the media or anything. She felt at peace for a moment.
"What are you doing?" Came a voice from behind her. She jumped and turned around, ready to cuss out Joe for disturbing her. But when she looked, she saw that it wasn't Joe, but his younger brother and her best friend, Nick. He was laughing at her, probably because of her reaction.
"You scared the shit out of me." She breathed out, putting her hand on her chest and feeling her heart that was beating faster than usual.
"I can see that." He said with a cocky grin. He stuffed his hands into the pockets of his dress pants and walked up to her. "But what are you doing out here?" He asked again. He was standing next to her now.
Demi just shrugged. "I just needed some air."
"Darn, I was hoping you were looking for aliens. I was gonna join you." Nick joked as he looked up at the night sky.
This made Demi laugh. Nick always knew how to put a smile on her face when she was feeling down. She didn't even have to say anything, it was like a sixth sense Nick had.
They stood there in silence for a few moments, looking up at the beautiful dark sky, until paparazzi finally started to notice them and take pictures.
"I guess we'd better head back in." Demi suggested.
Nick took a step back. "Ladies first." He said.
Demi smiled at her best friend and began to walk in as she waved to the paparazzi. When they both went back into the banquet hall, she gave Nick a hug.
"What's this for?" Nick asked, wrapping his arms around her.
Demi smiled and replied, "For being the best friend ever."

1624. The Protestant King of Sweden has invaded Catholic Poland. Mainland Europe, especially the Germanic central region, are a mess of looting, raping, and burning. A merchant by the name of Mother Courage follows the Swedish army with her wagon and 3 children, hoping to support her family by selling to the soldiers (or even better, the officers). Because if you can't turn a profit during war, you can't turn a profit.Written by Bertolt Brecht in 1949, the play was first performed in the bombed-out ruins of Berlin shortly after the Allied victory in World War II.

I just want to sleep in everyday and be lazy. Does that ever go away? Cause I've got shit to do.
I forgot how nice it can be to share a bed with somebody. It's a wonderful feeling being held in your most vulnerable moments.
It's been a while since I last cried over you. I hate that I do this to myself. I hate that you still have this affect on me. It's been so long and yet I still can't bring myself to face the things that remind me of you. And it makes me so mad that I still dream about you, after all this time. I should know better. I thought I did. I still remember the day you left me and the promises you made me. I waited so long for you to come home to me. I thought I had felt heartbreak before. But I hadn't. It paled in comparison to what you did to me. I never realised someone could hurt me so much. Let alone you. I was such a fool.
I am such a fool.

I signed up for e-mail from the Vernon Jones campaign for Congress this morning.
Prior to his decision to challenge two-term Democrat Hank Johnson, the former DeKalb CEO and former candidate for U.S. Senate apparently had been considering yet another statewide race – because this was the immediate response sent to the in-box:
Welcome to the Vernon Jones for Secretary of State Campaign. I am honored to have your support of my candidacy.
The glitch may have been fixed. The following was just received, in the last five minutes, from the same account:
As I told you previously, I would let you know my political plans for the future. Today at 2pm, I will be announcing my bid for the Fourth Congressional District Seat in the United States Congress.
Johnson is to announce his re-election bid on Saturday.
One wonders if we're about to have a discussion about religion. One observant reader notes that on Jones' new web site, the candidate says "Georgia needs…someone that is humble, a Christian, qualified and experienced, and a Representative who will exemplify statesmanship in the United States Congress."
Johnson is Buddhist.

Like Denise Majette, Hank Johnson has ably served the 4th District with quiet dignity, no drama and he seems to have no agenda but to represent his constituents as well as he can. Having observed Vernon Jones' methods of strong-arm governing, his penchant for self-promotion, his tendency to attract negative publicity and the unneccessary litigation costs he has cost the county during his years as DeKalb's CEO, you can surmise which candidate who will receive my vote!

Hanks "they gonna ride through the countryside in hoods and robes" comment cost him what little credibility he had. Besides, he looks near death.

DeKalb 30-year res. is right on. This man Jones would be a crook if he had enough intelligence to qualify as one. For all the great things Manuel Maloof did for DeKalb County during his lifetime, he did the county a grave disservice when, just before his death, he endorsed V. Jones for CEO. Right sentiment, wrong horse to bet on. Let's hear it for the quietly effective public servants such as Hank Johnson!
January 15th, 2010
2:22 pm
Couldn't someone running for office try to appear really humble for a change…and honest? If Jones had left DeKalb not better, but just as well off as when he took office, on his last day perhaps he would offer something for the citizens of DeKalb. This run is just another ego trip for a person so full of himself and so interested in riding the gravy train. And if his election staff is this inept on such a minor thing, what will they do if he wins this office?

Senator. Governor. Secretary of State. Congressman. Jones continues his desperate search for a position of power.
Given the number of police officers he insisted on serving him as DeKalb CEO, I can just envision his security detail if elected to Federal office.
We don't need Jones' mountain-sized ego, his questionable conduct or his lack of results.

It is amazing that you guys always try not to focus on the facts.
Vernon led Dekalb county during 2 recessions and was able to build sidewalks, repave roads, and cut no services to its citizens.
Vernon Jones did not raise taxes or lay off any employees.
Vernon has an excellent relationship with the citizens and knows the needs of the people.
Hank has lost touch with the 4th District and based on my facts Vernon Jones has my support.

Will gay vote automatically go to Vernon?
January 16th, 2010

Built sidewalks where? Not in front of my house, not in my neighborhood. Vernon had a decent first term, but a cloud of smoke was lifted in the second term, and he was standing there naked, with two women in his bedroom; one of them with a subpoena in her hand. Not a pretty sight
January 17th, 2010
5:14 am
amosley – Is there another DeKalb County, other than the one I live in? Did that other DeKalb County also have a Vernon Jones that served as CEO? Must be, because the one who ran the DeKalb County I live in surely didn't do the great job you outline.
The Vernon Jones who was in charge of my DeKalb County destroyed the county government. He barely won re-election and failed to carry the county when he ran for US Senate. He was responsible for bringing in TeBo, a mistake that cost our county many good police officers.
He couldn't work with the commission. What makes him think we want him in Congress, where working with other people is key? Congress is about negotiating, not trying to run over everyone and bully your way. McKinney showed us that method does not work.
While I feel bad for Mr. Jones and understand how hard he is trying to make the people around here give him a job, we have seen that he is not suited for power and have resoundingly rejected him a couple times already. When will he take the hint and just go away?
January 17th, 2010
7:31 pm
Well the Dekalb County I live in went from having no sidewalks, no street Lights, not efficient traffic lights, terrible traffic, No resturants, grocery stores, and no Stonecrest Mall. What Dekalb do you think I'm talkin about? Im Talkin about Panola Rd, Fairington Rd, Salem Rd, Browns Mill Rd, Turner Hill Rd, Rainbow Dr, Flat Shoals Parkway,Covington Highway, Redan Rd, Glenwood Rd and Evans Mill Rd. When Vernon Jones was in office there was, for the first time in my life ,One Dekalb County.not a north and south Dekalb. Everybody had equal services, equal retail, and representation in government. I belive Vernon can take those same ideas to Wahington and improve not just Dekalb but the entire 4th Distric and maybe this great Nation.

I had the pleasure of running into Vernon Jones several weeks ago around 3:00am. He was grinding to an LL Cool J song on the dance floor of a popular bar with a girl who couldn't have been more than 19. I looked her in the eyes and tried to convince her to run for her life, but she was too fixated on Vernon and his lecherous hands. He then proceeded to buy everyone in the bar shots, take four himself, french kiss the said 19 year old, then go outside onto the street and dry hump with her for a solid half hour. I told him he would make a fine Congressman. Then I jumped off a building.
January 19th, 2010
8:15 pm
V. Jones may have a chance if he drops the pretense and he runs as a Republican.
January 23rd, 2010
4:04 pm
If you notice, those sidewalks are on state roads. Vernon brags about a balanced budget, but he lies. When he left, the county was really 50 million dollars in the hole, numerous lawsuits to settle because this man was a fool, 7 million dollars lost and un-accounted for, so on, and so, and so on. Why don't you just go away Vernon! Oh yeah,Connie Stokes, what a joke.
March 8th, 2010
10:22 pm
I wonder what the real problem is with some of you people??? You stretch the truth or should I say…just lie!!!??? What's the real root to the problem that (you very clearly have)? I have lived in DC for more than 20yrs and the one thing I do know is that Vernon Jones served this county well! He's the best man for the job and you know it! I would suggest that you take a good look at yourself (in the mirror). What do see?

Windows 7
Associating extensions with programs.
I am trying to associate some extensions with some different programs. For example, I want to associate ".bmp" with the "mspaint.exe" program, when it is currently associated with "Windows Picture Viewer" program.
I know how to associate the extensions with the UI, but I want to add this to a batch file script. So, I've been looking into the "assoc" and "ftype" commands. This would seem (based on my google searches) that this is exactly what I want. HOWEVER, this process does not seem to have any effect on at least the .bmp extension. I also tried associating a .txt with notepad++ instead of notepad, and that worked just fine. So...there seems to be something different about images or something I'm just not thinking of.
Can someone please help me out with this problem. Thanks.

Processed ginger in food processor with everything else. What a great flavor!
shmedly Posted: 11/10/11
First I made the sauce recipe according to the directions, just adding the ginger juice...but there wasn't enough ginger flavor for me so I added the reserved grated ginger till I liked it. I thought this was really great, and made it as a cold salad by blanching the beans and chilling them, then adding the sauce.

But I think its fair to argue that EQ had much more of an influence on WoW than any other previous MMO. As a former avid Everquest addict the similarities and borrowed (improved upon) ideas are clearly evident in the playstyle that Blizzard aim for. And its an extremely good thing. Everquest did an amazing job at creating an immersive world with compelling gameplay. What let it down was its reliance on pure grind and the inability of its graphics engine to keep up. Blizzard took that ability to make a living breathing world and made it into a beautiful game.
That screenie brings back some fun memories. There is nothing quite like the disturbing screech of an EQ skeleton!

When, after years of checking them out of the library, you finally decide to buy your own copies of LOTR, but Barnes and Noble only has The Fellowship of the Ring and The Return of the King. Then they have the nerve to put The Two Towers on the list of things you may also like.

It makes me really mad when people say they love something only because they find an actor attractive.
One of my friends constantly claims to love the Avengers because of Loki; she has not seen the movie, she has not read the comics, and she doesn't even know anything about him from the canonical Norse myths. She really only finds Hiddleston attractive and it aggravates me.

During the student council elections this previous year, there was a campaign poster at my school with the picture of a candidate flashing the Vulcan salute, and under the picture read "MAY THE FORCE BE WITH YOU".
I still don't know if it was done in irony. It was taken down shortly after I first saw it, so that makes me think that someone who cared must have tried to shield her from the shame she'd caused herself.

The NFL's oldest rivalry continues tonight at Lambeau Field, as the Green Bay Packers (0-1) will play host to the Chicago Bears (1-0). This is the 185th meeting between the two teams, dating back to 1920 when the Bears were known as the Decatur Staleys. Chicago leads the all-time series 92-86-6, but Green Bay has won four straight and six of the last seven meetings. Its a rivalry that has grown on Packers linebacker Clay Matthews, who has 2.5 sacks in seven meetings with the Bears…
This will be the Packers only meeting with an NFC North team until week eleven. Considering that stretch, Matthews was asked if tonight's contest is even more important…
The Bears offense had a league-high nine plays of 20-plus yards in their week one win over the Indianapolis Colts. Seven of those plays came in the passing game, which Chicago upgraded during the off-season by trading for receiver Brandon Marshall and selecting Alshon Jeffrey in the second round in April's draft. Packers corner Tramon Williams thinks that Bears quarterback Jay Cutler has more weapons to work with…
In their season-opening loss to the 49ers, the Packers had just four offensive possessions over the first two quarters and seven points at halftime. Quarterback Aaron Rodgers is hoping for a better start tonight…
Kickoff of tonight's Packers – Bears game is at 7:20.
The Packers have won 17 of their last 19 games and 19 of 21 at Lambeau Field.
Six of the last seven games between the Packers and Bears have been decided by seven points or less. However, the Packers won the last meeting, 35-21.
This is the 17th time that the two teams have met in a prime-time contest. The Packers own 9-7 edge against the Bears in prime-time.
This is the second time that the two teams have met on a Thursday night. The Bears won the first Thursday night meeting in 1991 at Lambeau Field, 10-0.
Running back Cedric Benson was taken by the Bears with the fourth overall pick in the 2005 draft and he spent his first three years in the NFL with Chicago. Benson does not hold a grudge against the Bears…
Packers injury report: Out – LB Terrell Manning (concussion). Doubtful – WR Greg Jennings (groin), RB James Starks (toe), CB Davon House (shoulder). Questionable – DE C.J. Wilson (groin), LB Jamari Lattimore (ankle).
Bears injury report: Questionable – TE Kyle Adams (shoulder), CB Charles Tillman (shin). Probable – LB Brian Urlacher (knee).

I wish there were more options like this on the forms in general.
As other players travel through the game, they get armor changes. Hunters get new pets. Mages get new polymorphs, etc... This will be the first time a form (other than the long-overdue general upgrade) has the option to change.
Myself, I would have been happy if your gear changed up your model slightly. So when I earned my cool T11 gear, it had an effect on my cat/bear/tree/moonkin form too. But, if I were to accept an easier thing for Blizzard - offering ways to aquire new forms like this would be great. I'd prefer a gliph or something that lasts instead of something that will be replaced in 6 months or less - but hey. If there was something else to take its place, I'd be more excited.

I lost my mom July 5th, 2010 to inconclusive Breast Cancer. The cancer had spread into her bones and lungs, and she also had respiratory failure the last 24 hours she was alive. I never realized how much she did for me until a year and a half before she passed away, because she ended up in a wheel-chair and unable to do anything on her own the final two months.
I am 19 years old and struggle everyday with the loss of my mom. I still my have my dad, two brothers, sister-in-law, and my four year old nephew. I feel there was something I could do about, it but really there wasn't anything I could do. I also feel that no one knows how to talk to me anymore because they think I am a totally different person, but really I am not any different, just not as social as I used to be but I will still talk.

Over 75 percent of Americans want health care reform according to a new Pew Research poll. President Obama remains committed to reforming our health care system this year. But as Congress struggles to craft legislation, the voice of concerned voters is getting drowned out by a vocal minority working from the same play book. Will serious health care reform die on the operating table at the hands of congressional Republicans, conservative pundits, and industry spin doctors?
