We've all heard how important it is to establish a positive "morning routine" for our families. Right? How study after study proves that kids who have consistently constructive beginnings to their days are more successful in school and on the playground and, ultimately, at life in general, and how we're essentially setting our children up for failure and misery if we can't figure out how to pull it together and feed them a halfway decent breakfast (as they sit on actual chairs at an actual table dressed in actual clean clothes) while still managing to get them to class on time, or at least close enough to the bell that they won't require late passes.
It's not that I don't believe the findings of these studies to be true. It's just that as an over-extended, under-organized mom, I gave up on this particular parenting Holy Grail a long time ago.
Sure, I'd love to follow all the expert recommendations on how to fill my family's mornings with sunshine -- who wouldn't? But the reality resembles something more like a tsunami. And I bet you know exactly what I'm talking about, too. Do any of these 5 scenarios sound familiar to you?
More from The Stir: 4 Tricks to Fix Your Family's Morning Routine
The Recommendation: Sitting down to a healthy breakfast with the whole family each morning before school significantly improves kids' cognitive function, leading to academic success.
The Reality: Chewing a stick of gum in the car on the way to school significantly improves kids' super-stinky morning breath.
The Recommendation: Figure out what time everyone needs to wake up -- then set the alarm for 15 minutes earlier. This creates a buffer zone to deal with any unexpected issues such as misplaced library books or last-minute field trip permission slips to be signed.
The Reality: Figure out what time everyone needs to wake up -- then set the alarm for 15 minutes earlier. When it goes off, hit "snooze" (because you have 15 extra minutes to sleep!). When it goes off again, hit "snooze" (because zzzzz). When it goes off again, sit up in a cold sweat and run around the house screaming, "Wake up! We overslept!"
The Recommendation: Walk or ride a bicycle to school instead of taking the bus or a car; early morning exercise helps kids to concentrate in class for the rest of the day.
The Reality: Walk or ride a bicycle to school instead of taking the bus or a car -- if you want kids to get there an hour late and/or develop shoulder strain from carrying that crazy-heavy backpack.
The Recommendation: Have children lay out a complete outfit for the next day (including socks, underwear, and accessories) before bedtime to prevent any morning wardrobe malfunctions.
The Reality: Have kids completely forget to tell you it's "Wear a Yellow Shirt Day" (other examples include: Pajama Day, Silly Socks Day, Crazy Hat Day, etc.) until they wake up 30 minutes late (thanks to you and that "snooze" button). Paw through dressers and hampers and closets in a panic until you find some poor excuse for the desired item. Spend the ride to school trying to convince kids that wearing a yellow-striped shirt instead of a solid yellow shirt on "Wear a Yellow Shirt Day" is NOT, in fact, the end of the world.
The Recommendation: Independence is key to a productive morning routine. Give kids a checklist of tasks they will be responsible for accomplishing before leaving the house (examples include making the bed, brushing teeth, washing breakfast dishes).
The Reality: Low expectations are key to getting everyone out the door in one piece most mornings. Make sure kids are wearing shoes and pants (if appropriate) before leaving the house.
What is your family's morning routine (really) like?
Image via Evan/Flickr
yeah! I dress my kid hit the snooze and he eats his breakfast at school. Walking to school yeah right, I live in Roxbury and he goes to school in Brighton.
all 5 of those realities ARE my realities...lol i have 3 kids and mornings are never easy no matter how you try to "prepare the perfect routine" all my kids are fine with our crazy lives.
We do the majority of those. We don't sit down and eat breakfast together, but the kids eat breakfast at home at the table. They have their own alarm clocks that go off at 6:30 (I get up a few minutes earlier). This gives them almost a full hour to get ready. I have a list on the fridge of what they need to do and if they are caught standing around or playing I tell them to check the list to make sure everything is done. Picking out their clothes, getting their bags ready, and making lunches are part of our bedtime routine. Most mornings it goes fairly well. If they oversleep or complain about being tired, they go to bed early that night. I also make sure to have breakfast they can help themselves with (like muffins, poptarts, or granola bars).
Darcy.... can you come to my house and teach my kid to do that? You are super-amazing. Most nights I'm too exhausted by bedtime (and from fighting the kid to GET INTO bed) to even think about the morning routine. My son HATES eating, HATES going to bed/waking up, HATES brushing his teeth/his hair... By the time he's on the bus - I'm ready to go back to bed. :(
I've worked since before my son was born, and usually have to be to work before he needs to be at school. I'm not there to sit down and eat breakfast with him (not unless I get him up for breakfast at four am). I'm not there to get his clothes ready. I'm not there to make sure his backpack is filled with what he needs. Making his bed? Seriously? I'm happy if the blankets are all still there.
All these studies do is throw those of us who have to work like this into a miasma of guilt. Instead of focusing on what I'm not doing that apparently I'm "supposed" to be doing, I focus on the fact that my son has become more self-sufficient than other kids his age.
Umm...yeah, we totally have a morning routine. Breakfast, make beds, tidy room, get dressed, and piano practice. Now...before you go thinking I'm all high and mighty on morning routines my kids get up at 5:30 AM (today it was 5:00) no matter what time they go to bed. My hubby is the one that gets up and does breakfast. Also...two of my kids are on the Autism spectrum, and they thrive on routine, and structure. The routine is also to use up all that time before school, so I don't have complete chaos going on around me. Plus, my kids go to bed at 7:00 PM...so they have to get all that stuff done, so they can actually play in the afternoons after their homework is done.

Rotating Speaker for your iPhone or iPod Touch is super convenient
If you have an iPhone or iPod Touch. you simply must pair it with the Rotating Speaker from Yubz. You simply dock your device in this speaker and you can watch or listen to your iPhone/iPod vertically or horizontally. This is because the speaker station will turn the device 90° as the name suggests. Not only does it provide convenient cooking, but it also charges your gadget while you are rocking out some videos and music. It includes multi-dimensional acoustic performance from YUBZ's advanced Sound Space 2.0 technology. It's a little heavy on the wallet at $150. Maybe they will slash down the prices eventually.

FRIDAY, Sept. 27 (HealthDay News) -- Healthy eating habits can significantly reduce high blood pressure and improve heart function in heart failure patients, a new study says.
The study included patients, most in their 60s and 70s, who ate only meals that were prepared for them in the kitchen of the University of Michigan Clinical Research Unit.
The meals, which could be picked up and heated at home, followed the DASH (Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension) diet eating plan, which is high in potassium, magnesium, calcium and antioxidants. The diet is recommended for high blood pressure treatment by the American Heart Association and the U.S. National Institutes of Health.
The diet used in the study also contained a daily sodium intake of 1,150 milligrams or less, which is much lower than American adults' typical intake of about 4,200 mg a day for men and 3,300 a day for women.
After three weeks of following this diet, patients saw a drop in blood pressure similar to that achieved by taking blood pressure medications, according to the study presented Tuesday at a Heart Failure Society of America meeting.
"Our work suggests diet could play an important role in the progression of heart failure, although patients should always talk to their doctor before making major dietary changes," Dr. Scott Hummel, a cardiologist at the University of Michigan Frankel Cardiovascular Center, said in a university news release.
"We're excited to confirm these results in longer-term studies that also help us understand the challenges patients face when they try to improve their eating habits," he added.
Heart failure means the heart can't pump enough blood to meet the body's needs.
Doctors have long known that the low-sodium DASH diet can lower blood pressure in patients who are sensitive to salt. This study, although small, showed that the DASH diet can improve left ventricular relaxation and reduce diastolic chamber stiffness in heart failure patients, meaning a more efficient transfer of blood between the heart and arteries, Hummel explained.
Data and conclusions presented at meetings should be considered preliminary until published in a peer-reviewed medical journal.
More information
The U.S. National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute has more about the DASH diet.

Fried Apple Butter Pies
You can use canned biscuits but making your own dough works best for me.
Roll your dough(or biscuit) out until its real thin.
Cut into circles or squares(which ever floats your boat).
Put a tablespoon or 2 of apple butter in the middle
Dampen the edges and fold over
Seal edges with a fork or pastry roller
Heat oil in a frying pan..it's gotta get hot so be careful
Ease the pies into the oil and fry until the bottom gets browned then flip
Remove from the hot oil and lay them out on a paper toweled plate
Sprinkle liberally with cinnamon sugar, immediately!
Be extremely careful! The filling will be like NAPALM if it runs out and onto your face, but they don't get to lay around long around my house. They go best with a big glass of milk or a hot cup of coffee.
Hope ya'll try these and ENJOY!!!
OMG!!! That sounds soooooo good!! I'll definitely have to try this one!
My wife is out for a girls only vacation with her sisters.
I guess I'll see if Monie can send me some.
Give it a try man!
It ain't rocket science.
Surprise your wife with a little treat.
I'm tryin to get some cookies!
Your killin me!
Your right. I really don't have any problem cookin. Its just me and the 3 little ones for the next 10 days. I'll be a diaper changin fool!!!
This is her trip to make up for by bear trip in a couple weeks ago.
She gets 8 days in Vegas I got 7 days in Quebec.
Fair trade.
I think me and the girls will try this recipe this weekend.
They love to cook.
These work best with a "thick" apple butter. You can doctor them depending on your tastes. I like the taste of cinnamon. Sometimes I'll even sprinkle a little extra on the filling before sealing them. My brother likes cloves, so that's what he uses.
You folks are killing me! Can you hear my stomach growling? :rolleyes:
lol....mine too...if only I could stomach the little morsels right now. :)
I doooo love cloves and cima...cino...cinnamum. ;) :D
I make my own apple butter, so getting it thick is noooo problemo.
Ok Monie-how much does it cost to ship apple butter? You better quit telling us the things "you make" cause you know we'll be hittin you up for some more goodies! lol
lol..I don't know, Chass. I guess we'll find out when I send you some! :)

Shop Hunting Tuesdays: Critically Acclaimed
Critically Acclaimed | http://criticallyacclaimedclothing.co.uk
In this very first post of Shop Hunting Tuesdays, I would like to introduce you to a UK streetwear brand called Critically Acclaimed - an ongoing clothing project established in early 2010, that started out as a project to use the advertising of major businesses from all around the world against themselves by hijacking the meaning of a commonly used marketing phrase in place of a name to direct the audiences thoughts towards us.
Recently they dropped out a new Winter / Autumn Collection that features 5 luxury snapbacks, 3 hoodies, 2 t-shirts and 2 pom pom beanies.
Focused on fine materials and simplicity, majority of their products only have subtle branding, as they thought it would be better for their customers to buy a high quality product because of the quality of the items and not because of the name on it.
If you're interested in purchasing any of this gorgeous products or you just want to see the whole collection, proceed to their website or facebook page.
*From now on, each Tuesday I will present you one cool (design) shop that I find all over the internet. I'll be featuring all kinds of shops (clothing, prints, furniture and more) and if you own one and you think I should check it out, let me know! (email)*

The Sony Cyber-Shot DSC-R1 10 megapixel "point-and-shoot" camera was highly anticipated since its announcement in September. How does the 10 megapixel camera which carries a price tag below $1000 stack up? Designtechnica is here to let you know.
They loved the APS-sized 10.3 megapixel CMOS imager and the wide-range 5x optical zoom. Wait a sec, what's a APS-size 10.3 megapixel CMOS? Well most "lower end" cameras in the higher megapixel range, like the 6 and 8 megapixels, are cramming all those pixels onto a small chip. With APS (Advance Photo System) you have a bigger chip to put them pixels on. End result? Less noise that's been plaguing most "point-and-shoots." However, by using an APS-sized chip, normally only found in expensive D-SLR's, Sony was able to bring good quality to a "point-and-shoot" camera!
Their big complaint? That it's not a D-SLR.
But go ahead and head on over to designtechnica to read the full review on this behemoth.
Preorder the Sony DSC-R1 for $999.99 at Amazon

East Flora Elementary Schools
East Flora Elementary School is the recipient of the America's Farmers Grow Rural Education program. America's Farmers Grow Rural Education is sponsored by the Monsanto Fund and helps farmers positively impact their communities by supporting rural school districts. This program gives eligible farmers the opportunity to nominate a public school district in their community to compete for a merit-based grant of either $10,000 or $25,000. The East Flora proposal was funded for $25,000 to extend science-learning experiences for students through teacher professional development, technology use for research, the science fair process, and off-site exploration.

How does it work?
When you sign up for Connect-CTY, your contact information is stored in the notification database.
If there's an emergency situation, authorized Town officials set up a voice recorded message:
"Hello, this is ________ calling with an important message from the Town of Mamaroneck"
followed by information for the specific situation.
The Connect-CTY system quickly delivers the message to all residents and local business
owners in the notification database.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I change my contact information?
You can change your information through the Connect-CTY system.
Does the Connect-CTY service replace other systems that have been
used to provide time-sensitive information to residents?
The Town of Mamaroneck instituted this system to enhance existing channels of urgent
communication. It is intended to supplement, not a replace, the systems already in place.
Local TV, radio, and website announcements will continue to provide information as well.
The Town's call-in emergency information line (914) 381-7800 will still be available.
What precautions are being taken to protect my personal information?
Connect-CTYTM is a service of The NTI Group, Inc. (NTI). NTI takes security and
privacy concerns very seriously and does not sell, trade, lease or loan any data about
our clients to any third party. From a technical perspective, we utilize multiple physical
and virtual layers of firewalls to maintain data security. NTI only utilizes secure
transmissions with its customers. No confidential information is ever transmitted between
NTI and its customers using email or FTP, but rather always utilizes either a VPN tunnel
or SSL. Data is hosted in state-of-the-art facilities which require photo identification,
thumb-print recognition, keyed access, and are manned 24/7 with full-security personnel.
All data is encrypted prior to being placed on tape for offsite storage. NTI also retains
an external, independent security firm to perform annual security audits.
Will there be a way to positively identify incoming calls which are
made by the town using the system?
The caller-ID number for calls generated by the Connect-CTY service will be the same
as the Town Center's main number: (914) 381-7800. In addition, every message will
begin with the same standard announcement.
Will the Connect-CTY service work if I have a call screening system
on my phone?
There are several varieties of call screening devices which use differing protocols for
screening. In general, the system has been found to work with these devices; but, some
may require some type of pre-programming to allow the call to pass through. Periodic
tests may be conducted to assure that messages are being received by numbers in the
notification database.
If I am a non-resident home or condominium owner, what phone should
be listed in the notification database?
For non-residents or owners who reside out of our town, you may provide an
additional phone number to be included in our database to contact during certain situations.
In general, calls are sent to the primary number only, but we also have the ability to call
multiple numbers for each resident or business when requested by the resident or business.
Please contact the Town Center at (914) 381-7800 for more information.
If I have provided more than one phone number, when will they be called?
In the case of an emergency, the message will be delivered by every method available.
My primary phone or my second listing is a cell phone with a non-local
area code. Will the Connect-CTY service call numbers outside the area?
Yes. The area code does not impact whether or not a call is made.
What about busy signals or no-answer situations?
For busy signals, the call will be repeated several times in an attempt to reach you.
The same is true for No-answer and Call-waiting. If the phone is answered by a message
recorder, the message will be left on the answering device. If, after several attempts the
call does not successfully go through, the system will stop attempting to call.
I was not able to listen to the entire call. Is there a way to repeat
the message?
Yes, at the end of the message playback, simply press the star (*) key on your telephone
to have it repeated in its entirety.
I answer the phone but the "Hello" message repeats. It then hangs up, calls back,
and the same thing happens again. How can I hear the entire message?
Repeating or looping of messages happens when the system detects excessive noise in
the background. This can be caused by loud radio/television volumes, people talking, or
busy traffic noise. When you receive the next call, say "hello" once and turn down the
volume of your radio/television or press the mute button on your telephone to allow full
message delivery.

Allie Mae Burroughs photographed by Walker Evans (1936)
In Spring 2000, my husband and I visited The Metropolitan Museum of Art's Walker Evans exhibition. Today, I am looking at a poster, from the exhibition, that has hung in our house for 11 years and can still vividly recollect the images from Walker Evans and James Agee's book Let Us Now Praise Famous Men. On seeing these photographs for the first time, we simply stood in silent awe. I was especially moved by the photograph of Allie Mae Burroughs. Reflecting, 11 years later, I am now a wife and mother to 3 girls and my understanding, empathy and admiration has only grown.
Looking at her in 1936, what I see in her eyes is strength, resolve, tenacity, grit. Evans photograph captures the beauty of her spirit.

The Clayton school board picked one finalist in their search for a new superintendent. Edmond Heatley, superintendent of Chino Valley (Calif.) Unified School District is expected to be hired in two weeks.
Heatley is credited with improving tests scores in the district, but recently was challenged over a decision to close some schools because of budget cuts.
He met with Clayton parents and community members last night and has pledged to enroll his kids in the system.
Some members of the Metro Association of Classroom Educators have protested Heatley's hiring because he's from out of state. The group wants the school board to hire interim superintendent Valya Lee, a Clayton native who applied for the position but was not a finalist.
This argument has been repeated before – that an in-state superintendent is better because they know Georgia laws and understand the community.
That may be true, but is it always a plus? Are home-grown superintendents better for school systems?
NOTE: Staff writer Nancy Badertscher is writing a story on teachers and paraprofessionals who are losing their jobs because of budget cuts. If you fit in that category, please contact her at email@example.com. Thank you for your help.

It was the MACE school board members that lost Clayton County's accreditation to begin with. MACE wanted to keep Valya Lee in place because with an inexperienced superintendent, they would have been able to maximize their influence. It was partially – though not entirely – because of MACE that the school board was advised by SACS and by the state board of education to hire an experienced superintendent from somewhere else. Clayton County did so, and this experienced fellow, Heatley, will ignore John Trotter and MACE.
By the way, large school systems hire out of state candidates all the time. Even New York City hired a superintendent from Washington state (I think Seattle) during the Rudy Giuliani administration. MACE's complaints are absurd, as is any alleged newspaper columnist that takes their complaints seriously. Reporters need to do their jobs and report all the relevant facts rather than allow people like MACE and John Trotter to mislead people.

It's called succession planning. If you look at any of the more successful companies, they have a plan in place for all of their key employees. The only reason you would hire from outside is if the Board of Directors is not happy with the current management and want to interject some fresh blood or the current management does not have the requisite skill set in a certain area.
When I evaluate stocks for purchase, continuity of management is one of the areas I look at. Whenever you start to see the company bring in new CEOs, it kicks up a red flag for closer scrutiny.
School systems should be no different. One of the reasons you have Assistant Superintendents is to prepare them for eventual promotion to the Superintendents job.
Clayton, however, is a unique situation. I don't blame the Board for wanting to hire someone from outside the system that does not have ties to the current admiistration. What they are saying is that they do not have confidence in the current crop of central office administrators.
Maybe this Heatley guy can straighten this mess out. I wonder if he knows what he is walking into?
May 7th, 2009
10:16 am
Not to say that MACE, or those who attach themselves to MACE, have been perfect, but it appears Gerald Ball is as willing to mislead as he claims MACE is.
Gerald Ball, just who filed the SACS complaint that led to CCPS losing accredition? You seem to have conveniently forgotten it was Rod Johnson, a GAE member.
Who was in the SACS offices, spending time with Mark Elgart on such a regular basis during the initial investigation, that even Mark Elgart's own people are said to have expressed concern about its effect on the investigation? Ericka Davis, a GAE member.
As far as outside influences, and the deals they birth, which union has an official who is currenting earning years of credit in the Teachers Retirement System, even though he works in a union office, and not a classroom? Not MACE, but GAE.
Now I'm not in the boat who automatically discounts someone from out of town. But, as far as MACE's concerns being absurd.
Were MACE's concerns about out of towner Barbara Pulliman unfounded?
Were MACE's concerns about out of towner John Thompson unfounded? And no, I haven't forgotten that some who had previously been aligned with MACE were responsible for bringing Thompson aboard, to the unending embarrassment of anyone who thinks MACE is correct on the core issues that affect education today. But still, those were individuals, not MACE the organization.
And MACE expressed these concerns when they were hired, not when they were on their way out the door, after everybody else figured out what MACE was concerned about from the get go.
This isn't to say that Heatley isn't a good candidate, or the Valya Lee was the better candidate. But why Gerald Ball, are we not even allowed to question his credentials, without the questions being labeled absurd?

Lee raises good points about succession planning. This seems like a case where a 'breath of fresh air' could work out best for the community.
As I've said before, everyone in the metro area and state has a stake in the success of Clayton County. Businesses that are considering the metro area will evaluate our K-12 infrastructure and make that a consideration for whether to establish or expand operations here. The recent merger of Delta and Northwest will enable us to become more of an international city, with additional reach to AsiaPac. I wish Heatley much success in helping Clayton County schools.
May 7th, 2009
11:07 am
Lee, so should I sell all of that Ford, Chrysler and GM stock I just bought!? Dang, I thought that was a sure thing!
Who cares who runs Clayton? I know a few teachers fom Clayton, and the conditions they describe are horrible and depraved. What good does it do to shake things up at the top when the kids and parents are just as bad as the criminals they have running the show? If there were ever a system that needed privatization immediately, it's Clayton!
May 7th, 2009
11:35 am
I'd think that residents of Clayton would want someone from outside to re-build their mess.
May 7th, 2009
12:16 pm
Let's see now…We want to get rid of Heatley. So, we give ole Glenn Brock a good recommendation for him to pass along to ignorant board members like Alieka Anderson and Pam Adamson. Now, Brock is really interested in the school board attorney's job…which he and his firm will undoubtedly end up with. GAE members Ericka Davis and Rod Johnson were apparently meeting, along with Eldrin Bell, with Mark Elgart of SACS to plan a way to shut up Norreese Haynes who was hitting too much on target about the fraudulent land deal (with the fraudulent contract not even signed by Superintendent Pulliam) and the fraudulent lawyer's contract for Dorsey Hopson which had apparently been changed by him and/or Ericka Davis. Haynes was just too much for this group. Eldrin gets his police chief Turner to engage in a dummy investigation of Haynes's residence ("at the behest" of Ericka Davis — illegal, mind you) which the police officers even stated in the report that they did not have enough information to draw any conclustions (especially when they were ignorantly investigating one of Mr. Haynes's former residences, not the Conley house where he was living during the so-called investigation). However, the Secretary of State's Office, the office charged by law with responsibility to determine the eligibility of candidates and elected officials, conducted two thorough investigations about the residence of Norreese Haynes and concluded that there "was no evidence that he lived outside his district." So much for that fraud too!
Dr. John Trotter was the first person or organization (before the AJC, News/Daily, Clayton Chamber, CCEA/GAE, etc.) to call for the resignation of Nedra Ware, Connie Kitchens, Carol Kellum, LaToya Walker from the school board in either March or April of 2003. I think that was pretty principled and gutsy, especially in light of the fact that he was instrumental in each of them getting elected (as well as Mrs. Crummy who had broken away from the Ware Gang, and Dr. Ryan who had already resigned). Trotter was right about Barbara Pulliam. MACE actually picketed the school board the night that it voted to give Pulliam the contract. Trotter also warned the school board about John Thompson (after he was hired because Trotter was not privy to this hiring but took the blame again, as he is blamed usually for all of the mis-doings of the Clayton County School Board). He told the community that Thompson had been fired in Pittsburg and Tulsa. The school board just doesn't do its homework but relies upon a man like Attorney Glenn Brock who apparently has a hidden agenda…to become the school board attorney. Dr. Sam King finished #2 as "Georgia Superintendent of the Year" and was named by GSSA as the "Georgia Educator of the Year." I hardly think that he is a puppet to Dr. John Trotter. Dr. King was an assistant principal, principal, and assistant superintendent in Clayton County, and he has been a "super superintendent" in Rockdale County for the last five or six years. Dr. Valya Lee grew up in Clayton County. Teacher, assistant principal, principal, assistant superintendent, deputy superintendent, and interim superintendent. She cleaned up most of Thompson's mess in less than a month. She, like Dr. King, is well-liked and well-respected by the people of Clayton County.
The other writer is correct: Mark Elgart did not have nerve to put "MACE" in the report. The report was a joke and very flawed in its biased analysis. It did not even have basic facts and information correct. As Norreese Haynes stated, the SACS Report was "a sham and a farce."
Dr. John Trotte was right on Hairston, Chavis, Pulliam, Thompson, and he will be proven to be right on our "gift" to Clayton County, Edmond (the Drill Sargeant) Heatley of Chino Valley. Heatley wants no dissent. He is full of secrecy. It is his way or the highway. You folks had better be glad that you have a John Trotter among you. Heatley will have met his match in Trotter. Just my thoughts from Chino Valley.

Why does Alieka Anderson, Chairperson of the Clayton County Board of Education, have her nine year old son attending a school in DeKalb County? The County County School System is not good enough for her own son? Didn't LaToya Walker, in District One, try the same thing with her son and daughter and the voters caught up with her? Talking about District One, I think that Mrs. Porter will put a hurtin' on Pam Adamson in the 2010 school board race. Adamson is responsible for pulling in this Lil Tyrant from Chino Valley, California! The school board needs to "finalize" this man all the way back to L. A.! By law, he cannot be hired yet; the school board needs to listen to the people and reconsider their latest studpid move. Otherwise, Alieka and Pam will be targeted in the next election. Their days are numbered. LaToya Walker thought she was safe; she learned differently.

Wow – all the politics and "union" v. "union" on here shows me 2 things:
1) Why Georgia can never have a unified teachers' union
2) Why I'm damned glad that I teach in Cobb. Jeebus.
May 7th, 2009
5:45 pm
I would have serious concerns about this man, not because he came from out of state (we all know California is CERTAINLY the state to imitate, right?) but because HE announced his appointment before the board did. Shades of that guy they just got rid of (what was his name? Jesus Thompson?)! What about this year's diplomas? Will they be shredded so the new guy's name will go on them?
You can tell about a person by little things, such as his premature announcement. That is what we call a "tell". The people of Clayton should study his credentials and his salary demands. How many more superintendents can they afford to have?
May 7th, 2009
6:59 pm
This time last year the AJC reported that SACS's Elgart, Bostic and Bryant said Clayton County needed superintendent from Georgia, who knows how to conduct business in Georgia. What a difference a year makes! What's difference between the two Out-Staters? Thompson & Heatley! The answer: None, SACS's Elgart and the State's BOE Bostic and Bryant are now having answer to lawsuit inquiries as to why they played politics and cost a school district well over $23 million in educational funding! These guys caused the Lil black children of Clayton a lot of money. Not only did that happen, so did 300-400 teacher jobs, lower property value, skyrocketing property taxes, numerous businesses left. Then, after making that disastrous forecast they have Valya Lee and Heatley pleading for the children to return. This was a Political Effort "Disenfranchised" the voters and devastated the county!
May 7th, 2009
7:24 pm
Dr. Heatley is a graduate of the Broad Academy. SACS Elgart has told this board to hire this man, in exchange for Elgart getting a foothold in Broad Academy. The "Politics" continues at the expense of Clayton's Lil black children.
May 7th, 2009
7:46 pm
Why did Alieka Anderson, Chairperson of the Clayton County Board of Education and her "Spineless Crew" offer Valya Lee a $187,000 one year contract next week, then turn around and Hire the Broad Academy graduate a week later! There is only one viable answer! This BOE "IS NOT" I repeat, is not making any decisions on their own. They're being led around by their noses by the powers that be in Clayton and elsewhere. They're soooo sad!
May 7th, 2009

Mark Elgart and Glenn Brock are money-grabbing white men who care nothing for the children of Clayton County but abour their own Marietta-Alpharetta pocketbooks. Pitiful. These two men are running the Clayton County Schools. Pam knows it and likes it; Alieka ain't got enough political sense to get out of the rain.
May 7th, 2009
8:03 pm
It's all about the money. Follow the money. Watch Glenn Brock's law firm become the Clayton school board attorneys. Alieka…are you that politically blind. Blind as a bat. Blind as a bat. Politically speaking, Alieka Anderson is as blind as a big _ass bat. Mark Elgart of SACS is one big fake. So fake that he would back a buzzard off a gut wagon. Fake. Mark Elgart. Ericka Davis. Rod Johnson. Cephus Jackson. Eldrin Bell. All fakes. Alieka Anderson. Clueless. Pam Adamson. Manipulative.

The $25 million in federal stimulus money "Over The Next Two Years", U.S. Rep. David Scott announced for the Clayton's School System will not cover the $23 million per year over the next two years the School System will loss "Every Year". These additional funds Scott announced would have been a great addition to existing funds had Elgart and Clayton's Rich had not revoked accreditation.
This still lets the district $21 million short over the "Two Year Period". Wow! This surely was a costly white political power move for the ailing black district! Remember these are the same white folk that produced your distress when they practiced discrimination against your Lil black children livelihoods, disrupted your children continuity with displaced friends, belittled community, lowered your property value, skyrocketed property taxes, took your school's certification, pilfered over $23 million educational dollars, caused 300-400 teacher job losses.
All this in the name of white power, total intolerance and greed over the downtrodden darker folk! What did you as a county "Gain"? More Cost! Three more additional bills one for an overpaid parliamentarian, another for unconstitutional CCBOE Ethic Commission and now an overpriced law firm. This would never happen in a predominately white district.
May 7th, 2009
9:06 pm
Right on, Hindsight, and that Fincher Law Firm will be trying worm in on some of our money too — that's probably why Lee Fincher (the wife) was apparentlyl so involved in the last school board elections. John Trotter was in the white folks' way…and he obviously is white. This is what makes these money folks so mad at him!!!
May 7th, 2009
9:19 pm
Hey, Gerald, are you so naive? It was the GAE folks (Ericka Davis, Rod Johnson, and Cephas Jackson) who threw the school system under the school bus…both times (in 2003 and 2007). Stupid, stupid, stupid. GAE members actually went to SACS like little crybabies because they could not get their way. The MACE people were winning the elections, and the GAE people were crying all the way to Mark Elgart's SACS's office. Real smart. How stupid could sore losers be? They actually were doing this for the sake of the county's residents, children, property owners, and business people? Right. They really helped us. The "cure" was certainly mega tons worse than the "disease." Now we end up with the likes of Alieka Anderson for our Chairperson. Wow, we have indeed descended. Thanks Rod, Cephas, Ericka, and Eldrin. You have uplifted Clayton County, and simpletons like Gerald actually believe your mindless logic. But, we realize that you work for the Man and carry out his desires because he has taken care of you.

There's an old saying that goes: "When elephants battle, the grass loses."

12:59 am
clayton county board has demonstrated that it simply does not have the wherewithal to make good decisions. to go to california to bring in a superintendent who is rejected there is an act of…well, let's just say another act of stupidity. pam adamson leading alieka anderson by the nose ring. alieka really just does not get it. she brags at the last board meeting that the profligate trip to san diego resulted in the board meeting with potential superintendents…duh, the last four standing board members were removed for such action. hey, alieka, that violated the open meetings law. just like your straw ballot about heatley violated the open meetings law. now straw ballots, even though apparently condoned by the money-grabbing brock & clay law firm. it's all about the money. brock and clay simply wants to be the school board attorneys, and alieka cannot see this. alieka, wake up! you are a westside girl. these white boys are leading you around with a ring in your nose. you are being usedddddddddddddddddddddddddd. astro up, girl!!!!!!!!!!!!! your mom knows that we are telling you the truth. even janice and associates realize that you are being used. the folk in the schools are upset with you. a cobb county law firm is running the show. you don't know who your true friends are. they aren't glenn brock and chuck clay. word.

John Trotter will be proven right again, and I don't particularly like the man. He's just smart than the board members.
May 9th, 2009

There seems to be a clear majority of bloggers in his district who say that he will not be missed. Words like secrecy, lack of transparency, administration getting larger while teachers are being laid off, pepper the blogs. Some praise as well, but nothing from anyone who praised him on discipline. Of course it may not be an issue in Chino, but nobody who is honest would say it isn't one of the top, if not the top, issues in ClayCo.
None of this is a reason not to hire him of course, but there is enough critical mass in the comments to indicate that due dilegence must be done, including the most important question of all.
If a teacher removes a student for actions that all for a consequence, and an administrator, against the teacher's professional judgment, attempt to return the student to class without any consequences, who will the superintendent support?
You know, the question the BOE, despite the current and formers teachers on it, is in MORTAL FEAR of asking.
May 14th, 2009
5:27 pm
Developing a sense of something or a person through blogs is a fool's exercise. The blogs are manipulated by a very few, often each with their own private agendas.
As a parent in Chino allow me to share what I have seen accomplished during Dr. Heatley's stay.
District test scores have jumped tremendously. Some of you may or may not be aware CVUSD is a primarily Hispanic district. Prior to Dr. Heatley becoming superintendent, academic mediocrity was the common thread throughout the district. This isn't to say this was accomplished without him stepping on the toes of those who beneifted from perpetuating the prior status quo. Teachers who were comfortable with just showing up everyday began to be held accountable for students' performance, school administrators who were more interested in keeping teachers happy than children learning were replaced -sometimes midyear, and the district office was ordered to support learning at school sites and to make the delivery of education the number one priority. Individuals conducting district business for their personl enrichment were put on notice, with one former board member being convicted of a felony for a conflict of interest related to a contract he intiated with the district.
The coddling of teachers, some parents, and district administrators pretty much ended. Accountability became more than a buzzword.
Has every decision Dr. Heatley made been perfect? No, but we weren't expecting the Lord Savior as our next superintendent.
The Chino Valley Unified School District is a highly politicized environment with special interests represented by teachers, the teachers' union, parents, municipalities, real estate developers, ethnic political groups, and current and previous board members; which means it is just about like every other school district in the country.
Although the majority of us will consider Dr. Heatley's leaving to be a loss for the district, we are very appreciative of what he brought to it during his stay.

John Trotter is one smart educator. That's why the policy wonks (including Kathy Cox) are afraid of him. I like visiting the MACE website (www.theteachersadvocate.com), and I agree with its assess of what is wrong with our public schools today.
July 9th, 2009
10:50 pm
Leonard: You are right. The ones we honor today are the ones whom we threw bricks at in the past (during their time). I personally know Dr. John Trotter. When it comes to educational theory and practice, there is no one in Georgia who can touch him…certainly not Kathy Cox or anyone on the State Board. No legislator or local school board member. He makes these people nervous, and behind closed doors or in unsigned editorials, they criticise Dr. Trotter, but all of them are afraid to take him on in open debate. He is bold, and he is willing to take on all comers. But, none of his critics are willing to debate him.

Verona, PA - Former presidential candidate and Senator Rick Santorum issued the following statement upon learning of the passing of Chuck Colson, founder of Prison Fellowship Ministries:
"Karen and I were deeply saddened to learn about Chuck's passing. Over the last few years, both in and out of public life, I've had the opportunity to get to know Chuck and have admired him and his commitment to living out his faith.
"Chuck was a humble man who learned from his own frailty to care for the 'least of these,' especially prisoners. His work to bring Christianity to those who were in their darkest days changed the lives of many.
"My thoughts and prayers are with Chuck's wife Patty, the entire Colson family and the community at Prison Fellowship Ministries during this very difficult time. Chuck was a patriot, who loved his country and loved serving his God, and we are all a little better off for having known him."

It could be another interesting winter for Colville High girlŌĆÖs basketball.
The Indians, who finished 17-5 last season, lost five key seniors off a veteran club, but they return a solid nucleus of players and some promising newcomers that could pull some surprises in the competitive Northeast A League this winter.
Colville also returns a couple of familiar names and faces that have been actively involved with Colville girlŌĆÖs basketball for many years.
Ray Clark and Al Bushnell return to the Colville bench as co-head coaches this winter. Clark and Bushnell take over for Don Teeguarden, who remains on staff as an assistant and junior varsity coach. Also returning to the staff is Kajsa Brons, in her fifth season as a CHS assistant coach. New to the girlŌĆÖs basketball staff this season is former Kettle Falls High basketball standout, Greg Mace.
Very familiar with the program
Clark and Bushnell last coached the CHS girlŌĆÖs varsity back in the 2003-2004 season. But itŌĆÖs not like these veteran coaches have missed much. TheyŌĆÖve been actively involved in the girlŌĆÖs youth basketball program in Colville for years.
ŌĆ£We feel like we know the kids well,ŌĆØ Clark said last week.
The 2011-2012 CHS team is a mix of five seniors and a host of underclassmen.
ŌĆ£We have some veteran players, but weŌĆÖre kind of an unknown at this point,ŌĆØ Bushnell said.
Added Clark: ŌĆ£We havenŌĆÖt proven anything.ŌĆØ
It might be difficult to replicate that gaudy 17-5 record this winter. But then again, maybe not. In seniors Ashley Knight, Erin Little and Tasha Luu, the Indians return considerable offensive firepower, rebounding and leadership.
ŌĆ£Sometimes we look like a senior group and sometimes we look like a bunch of sophomores,ŌĆØ Bushnell said with a smile. ŌĆ£We need to get over that hump. Our sophomore group is going to have to step up; they are certainly very capable of that.ŌĆØ
Indians hope to take advantage of their speed and athleticism
Look for Colville to play at a decidedly upbeat tempo this winter. There is a lot of speed on the roster that Clark and Bushnell hope to take advantage of and tap into.
There are new offensive schemes to assimilate, but it all evolves and revolves around defense.
ŌĆ£We are hoping that defense is one of our strengths this season,ŌĆØ Clark said. ŌĆ£We are very fast. We could put a very good relay team together.ŌĆØ
Added Bushnell: ŌĆ£Sometimes we are a little too fast and forget the ball.ŌĆØ
ŌĆ£WeŌĆÖre trying to set the pace weŌĆÖve been successful with,ŌĆØ added Clark. ŌĆ£I hope that we can get this team to show its speed.ŌĆØ
With those five seniors, leadership should also be a strength of the 2011-2012 team. Ditto for depth. With that strong nucleus of sophomores and some dynamic seniors, depth should indeed be a strength.
But while the Indians would seem to have strength in numbers, it can also be a deterrent.
ŌĆ£We have strength with our numbers (of quality players),ŌĆØ Bush pointed out. ŌĆ£But itŌĆÖs a weakness too. We have to have the right kids on the floorŌĆ"itŌĆÖs going to be a fight for minutes.ŌĆØ
ŌĆ£We have a deep number of sophomores that can play,ŌĆØ Clark said. ŌĆ£ItŌĆÖs an extremely strong groupŌĆ"and the seniors have been a tremendous plus. ItŌĆÖs a dynamic group.ŌĆØ
Given ColvilleŌĆÖs up-tempo of style on both sides of the ball, that depth will certainly be utilized this season.
ŌĆ£I think that we are going to run so much that everybody will have their jerseyŌĆÖs wet,ŌĆØ added Clark. ŌĆ£ItŌĆÖs going to take a lot of legs to run this offense.ŌĆØ
Ashley Knight, 5-8 inside player. Knight is a returning All-NEA selection who has always played considerably bigger than her listed height. A four-year varsity performer who will be a key to ColvilleŌĆÖs success this season. Knight, the MVP at the All-State game last summer, has excellent low post moves and will be a team leader once again. Also a good outside shooter.
Tasha Luu, 5-5 two guard who is capable of running the point, if necessary. A quick, capable scorer and one of the teamŌĆÖs best athletes. Her speed and hops manifest themselves all over the floor.
Erin Little, 5-11 guard. Another one of ColvilleŌĆÖs very good all-around athletic talents. With her size, will also play a lot in the paint. A great defender who will also be one of the IndiansŌĆÖ primary scorers. A dynamic player who can score inside and out. A two-year varsity performer who is an All-League type of talent.
Lexi Lehman, 5-11 post. A second-year varsity performer who is solid inside and will be a major part of the rotation. Another very good team leader.
Rylee Wittmeyer, 5-6. Missed last season with a knee injury. To her considerable credit, Wittmeyer never missed a practice during that lengthy rehab. Very positive player that Bushnell and Clark refer to as ŌĆ£an incredible kid.ŌĆØ
Tyra Brons, 5-7 guard. A very good offensive player and good shooter. Sister of graduated CHS point guard Jorden. Runs floor well and is described as a ŌĆ£gamer.ŌĆØ
McKenna Cabbage, 5-10. Another of the sophomore newcomers who will have an impact. Plays bigger than her height and another of a very solid group of athletes. Smart player who always seems to be in the right spot.
Sadie Learn, 5-8 guard. Will be one of the teamŌĆÖs two sophomore point guards. Clark and Bushnell say that Learn is the only player they have ever seen who can ŌĆ£effectively play one through five.ŌĆØ Great length and hops. Good passer with excellent vision.
Terin Main, 5-4 guard. In a battle with Learn at point. May be the teamŌĆÖs best pure shooter, at least outside. Another very quick player.
Jessie Wittmeyer, 5-4 guard. An outstanding defender and very quick-footed. Tends to make things happen when sheŌĆÖs in the line-up.
Swing players will include sophomores Courtney Rainer, a solid 5-9 shooter who had a very solid summer of basketball; Malia Luu, another fast and aggressive player who just needs more time on the floor. Another swing player will be ColvilleŌĆÖs first six-foot player in several years, 6-0 freshman Megan Lee.
To the Dawgs
A sizeable number of ColvilleŌĆÖs players, varsity and otherwise, have competed in the off-season with the Dawgs All-Star teams out of Spokane.
ŌĆ£ItŌĆÖs a good, fun program with excellent coaching,ŌĆØ Clark said. ŌĆ£Playing on the DawgsŌĆÖ teams has really been a fun deal for the kids. We encourage our kids who are dedicated to basketball that there is much more to the game than just the high school season.ŌĆØ
Defending NEA and State 1A champion Freeman returns enough off last seasonŌĆÖs team to be considered a favorite to repeat.
Lakeside also returns a solid nucleus of players and will be among the leagueŌĆÖs elite once again.
ŌĆ£ItŌĆÖs a very tough league,ŌĆØ Clark said. ŌĆ£When we move up to 2A (Great Northern League) next season, it wonŌĆÖt be any different for us.ŌĆØ

Joe Biden has nothing to do anymore
Remember back in the campaign when Obama couldn't get enough of Joe Biden? It was all like, Joe Biden is so awesome! There's no way we'll change up our Vice President! Don't you just love him and theabsolutely f***ing hilarious things he says? He's like that uncle that everyone has that no one likes but it's totally fine because you only see him once a year and he never brings anything to dinner anyway!
Well, for every compliment lavished on Joe Everyman during the course of the 2012 election, there's an equal number of pointless jobs on Joe Biden's second term to-do list. During the first term, he was the arm of the administration in Congress. And now, as the Fiscal Cliff looms, Joe's biggest job seems to be late-night beer runs.
It's a stark shift in responsibilities for the vice president, who has been asked to hold off — for now — on leveraging his Capitol Hill connections and to leave the negotiating to his boss.
Biden's new role is a product of President Barack Obama's decision to streamline fiscal cliff negotiations between himself and House Speaker John Boehner, the two sides' clear sticking points and Obama's increased post-election political clout.
The vice president worked on the Hill for decades and led the bipartisan 2011 debt ceiling group that laid much of the groundwork for the fiscal cliff talks. Now he waits for his moment as Obama leads the White House public relations battle at campaign-style stops in Pennsylvania and Michigan as well we the private talks with Boehner.

3 Monday Morning Upgrades I'm Buying Now
Brian is a member of The Motley Fool Blog Network -- entries represent the personal opinion of the blogger and are not formally edited.
There were countless market-moving upgrades on Monday morning -- but here are three in particular that I believe are most attractive and that I personally am buying.
A Bullish Day for Biotech
The entire biotech space is moving higher in response to the bid for Onyx Pharmaceuticals, especially those with Orphan blockbusters. Regeneron Pharmaceuticals (NASDAQ: REGN) is one of those stocks, but also got an upgrade to produce an extra boost.
Piper upgraded the stock from "Neutral" to "Overweight" with a $274 price target. Shared traded higher, erasing some of the 20% loss that it has posted over the last six weeks. If Piper's target is correct, Regeneron would trade with a market cap near $27 billion (currently $22.75 billion) and would trade at 10.8 times next year's sales and 45 times next year's earnings.
While these metrics may appear expensive, keep in mind that it has an approved drug, EYLEA, with peak sales potential of $4 billion; they also have two other approved drugs and a pipeline with 12 products, including the Phase 3 cholesterol drug Alirocuma. This one product is estimated to have peak sales potential of $3.5 billion in the U.S. alone. Therefore, when you consider its pipeline, current product offerings, and its potential, you can see that the upside is quite high for this company.
"Sentiment is bad. Make that horrible"
The above quote was issued by Raymond James with its upgrade of Apple (NASDAQ: AAPL) to "Strong Buy" from "Buy." Raymond James believes that the integration of its ecosystem into cars, TVs, and appliances could present a new high-growth market for the company.
Aside from the reasons noted, Apple is cheap. It is still producing growth and is trading at just seven times next year's earnings (minus cash) and at 2.2 times sales. In a previous article, I showed how Apple is actually worth $700 but is going through a transition where it shifts from growth to maintenance.
In the past, this has always worked well for other companies such as Netflix or Green Mountain Coffee Roasters, but does seem to produce short-term weakness. Thus, I agree with Raymond James that shifting sentiment and new product offerings will drive the stock higher.
Another Retail Turnaround
Credit Suisse initiated coverage on Best Buy (NYSE: BBY) with a bullish $40 price target and an "Outperform" rating. Credit Suisse believes that new leadership was a good idea for the retailer and likes what it sees from the company in its turnaround process.
Credit Suisse also cited a number of recent retail turnarounds including Home Depot, Ulta Salon, and Pier 1, suggesting that new leadership combined with cheap stock equals a change in sentiment. Best Buy created new 52-week highs on the news, rallying almost 7% and making its 2013 gains 145%.
Despite these massive gains, Best Buy is still trading at just 0.19 times sales and 12.4 times next year's earnings; both of which are significantly lower than the retail space. Moreover, an investment in Best Buy returns a 2.5% dividend yield. These factors combined -- and the fact that I agree with Credit Suisse -- are why I am buying Best Buy.
Final Thoughts
With these three stocks combined we have a hyper-growth biopharmaceutical company, a massive tech company undergoing a transition, and a cheap retailer that has undergone a shift from growth to maintenance.
Thus, with three different investments in three different industries that are all at different stages of their business, these stocks might make nice additions to your portfolio. Personally, I already own each and I am buying more following these upgrades.
It's incredible to think just how much of our digital and technological lives are almost entirely shaped and molded by just a handful of companies.

Investors had been on edge for months about when the Federal Reserve might slow its economic stimulus. A pullback in the Fed's bond purchases, they feared, could jack up interest rates and whack stocks. Bernanke's mere mention of the possibility in June had sent stocks tumbling. So on Wednesday, Bernanke showed... Web URL: http://washingtonexaminer.com/article/feed/2112651 Share this article on Facebook or Twitter Print this article

That was a quick reaction.
Extend teens to early twenties.
Beyonce is so amazing that she blew the electricity in New Orleans.
Getting really annoyed at the amount of people giving it "why are you watching Superbowl when you don't watch American football?" "Why are you watching American football when you're not American?" UGH. SHUT UP.
People get excited about sporting events - deal with it. It happens during the Olympics, it happens during the tennis grand slams, it happens during the World Cup, during the Champions League, during the Six Nations, during the Tour de France. Plenty or neutral/unsporting people watch these events with excitement and don't face the same backlash. Why do people have so much hate!?
"You don't even watch tennis, so why are you watching Wimbledon?"
"You don't even like football, why are you watching the World Cup?"
"You're not from Africa, why are you watching the African Cup of Nations?" JEEZ. Chill hombres. Some people just enjoy sport and sporting events. They tend to be events that bring people together, which in my book is a good thing. Normally they become an excuse for a drink and a pizza/pig out session, which I'm also a huge advocator of.
I only started "watching" American football about 3 years ago. Just before I went to Spain in fact. I say watching in inverted commas, because I don't watch it religiously or voice my support for it throughout the year. I start out watching it at the beginning of the season, then become far more interested in getting a proper nights sleep. I still keep up to date with it online, which is more suitable for a lot of people on this side of the Atlantic. Doesn't mean they can't watch it once a year and make a big deal out of it. People are doing no harm by watching it, so why is everyone so concerned all of a sudden?!
People need to chill out.
Super smiley!

Next time you're cruising around on Badin Lake, take an hour or so for lunch and explore a unique spot that many residents of the area don't even know: The Badin Inn Golf Resort and Club and its Johnny Palmer Grill.
Tucked into a hillside on Spruce Street, about a mile from the main Badin access in the town of Badin, the grill makes it easy for you. Just tie up at the boat landing and give them a call (704-422-3683). They'll send a six-passenger golf cart to pick you up. Have lunch on the verandah overlooking the putting green, look around the Inn, and they'll return you to your boat when you're ready.
Bryan Reece, food and beverage manager for the grill calls the place "a hidden gem." After working in Charlotte for the Carolina Panthers and the Cheesecake Factory, Reece fell in love with the Inn when he drove down for an interview. "It's so quiet and peaceful down here," he says. "It's a hidden gem."
The Grill features "All-American home cuisine," says Reece. Open for lunch and dinner except on weekends, when Saturday breakfast and Sunday brunch are added, the Grill serves up great sandwiches including homemade chicken salad, turkey Reuben, and prime rib with cheese. Chef Sandy Keys' dinner entrees include a 12-oz. rib eye, T-bone with garlic mashed potatoes, stuffed flounder and a variety of salads. They're a delight to the pocketbook, too, at prices ranging from $6.95 for sandwiches to $16.95 for steaks.
The eatery takes its name from Badin native Johnny Palmer, who began at the golf club as a 12-year-old caddy and went on to win eight PGA tour victories in the 1940s and '50s, playing against legends such as Sammy Snead and Ben Hogan. The Grill is decorated with vintage golf bags and photos and articles chronicling Palmer's career. His two sons, Jock and Jim, still live in Badin and are frequent diners.
Be sure to save enough time to enjoy the Inn and learn its colorful history. In 1913 the French company L'Aluminum Francais began working on a dam to produce hydroelectric power necessary to make aluminum. The Inn, now listed on the National Register of Historic Places, was originally built as a clubhouse and guesthouse for the French company's single male employees. The town of Badin was named for Adrienne Badin, first president of L'Aluminum Francais.
When World War I broke out, the company sold its holdings to Andrew Mellon's Aluminum Company of America and its workers returned to France. By 1924 local residents organized the Badin Golf Club at the site, and Alcoa made land available for a course. Initiation fees were set at $5 – reduced to $2.50 for members who were willing to work on construction of the course. In 1930, the club's golf pro taught Johnny Palmer how to caddy and then to play. When Palmer became famous, other golf stars including Snead, Hogan, Gene Sarazen and Bob Hamilton played at Badin.
The club was private from 1924 to 1997, and in 2005 was bought by the current owners, who are restoring it to its former glory. The 23-room clubhouse once hosted W.C. Fields, Mae West when they played at the Badin Opera House. Its restored guest rooms are available for overnight stays and golf weekend packages, and its public spaces are popular settings for weddings, family reunions and proms – complete with catering from the Grill's kitchen.
For a tasty breakfast, lunch or dinner, plus a fascinating look into Badin's unique history, the Johnny Palmer Grill at the Badin Inn offers a delightful byway for your next outing on gentle Badin Lake.
