Atlanta entrepreneur Fitz Johnson knows there are wiser financial moves to make than investing $2.5 million in a women's pro soccer team.
After all, the last such Atlanta team, along with its entire league, went bust.
But Johnson, armed with money he made when he sold his defense contracting business last year, believes young women, including his twin daughters, need pro sports to broaden their horizons.
"I coached my girls," he said. "I love this game. … It builds leadership strength. … It reaches all the way down their core."
So the 45-year-old from Marietta announced today that he would be the new owner of the Atlanta Beat — the ninth franchise in the fledgling Women's Professional Soccer league.
He paid $1 million for the expansion franchise, which will begin play next year. And with another $1.5 million in initial costs, including for 18 players, Johnson knows it will be a challenge to make money.
A recession is not the best environment to launch any business, let alone compete in the pro sports arena with plenty of competition for attention and dollars.
He said the new league's business model, which seeks to control costs, can increase the chances of success. Players make an average of $31,000 for the 20-game regular and two-game exhibition season.
The former CEO of defense contractor Eagle Group International knows it's an uphill battle.
"We're going to take some risk here," he said. But also believes if the team can draw between 5,000 and 6,000 fans for each of the 10 home games, and he gains some sponsors, he may be able to turn a profit after three years.
As a reporter who's covered many sports business stories through the years, I can say that I'm skeptical. But as a former youth soccer coach, I also can say I understand why he's trying to make a difference in this way.

Good luck to him. Where are they playing? Bring it to the northern burbs. Rent out high schools and watch the fans come out. Trekking downtown is what killed The Beat the first time.

Well, we've known for at least a year that he had an expansion team. It was reported that he is looking to build an 8500-seat soccer stadium in the next year, Irish. We're not getting MLS anytime soon — if you want professional soccer in Atlanta, the Beat — along with Mexico v Venezuela next week and AC Milan v America next month — need to be supported.

No, the beat did very well when they were at Georgia Tech, it wasn't the downtown thing. The whole league dried up around the same time, and by that time the Beat had moved to Morehouse's stadium, and nobody knows where that is (West of Downtown).

It wasn't actually Morehouse's stadium, it was Clark-Atlanta University's which is on MLK about 5 blocks west of the Georgia Dome

Fitz is truly a great guy. He coached one of my boys. I know we'll be going to some of the games.

I love Vince's for breakfast. The coffee is great and the service is friendly and attentive, so your cup never runs dry. A basic omelet with Vince's salsa atop it very quickly becomes basic!
Small family restaurant in downtown Santa Paula that was open on the 4th of July. Clean and welcoming and favored by locals. Basic omelet with toast and bacon all nicely prepared. Friendly waitress, fast service and a fair price.
A few of my friends and I like to have coffee and on Tuesday mornings and we have always had good service at Vince's.
colorful, fantastic quesadillas, family owned, clean, centrally located, friendly, etc... eh bien, c'est deja pas mal...
I visited this restaurant on Saturday morning, the server was extremely rude. Then I learned that she was the daughter of the owners. It took me more than 10 minutes to get a cup of coffee which was lukewarm. Food was lacking flavor. Never to step in this restaurant EVER AGAIN.
PS: stay away from this establishment!
Has been around for a long time and the folks are down home and friendly...very informal I will return
I've been to Vince's a few times, and was disappointed with my last breakfast. I had chile verde w/huevos rancheros. The chile verde was very bland, tasted like boil pork, no bite to the sauce, eggs/potatos tasted like they'd been cooked in OLD grease, and to top it off, we waited over 45 minutes for our food when the place...
We have traveled all over this country and this place has the best Huevos Rancheros for breakfast! You can get 1/2 beans and 1/2 hash browns too!
Vince's Coffee House has good food, is pleasant, ample parking, and the prices are reasonable. The patrons seem to visit for the Mexican food. If you want chips/salsa be sure to ask otherwise you may not get it.
Passing through town, we stopped here for a weekday lunch using the 'Where are all the cars parked?' method of restaurant selection. The locals have a gem here. Vince's has been in business for about 50 years, offering both Mexican and traditional American diner food. They brag about their chili verde--and for good reason. It is the best; very tasty...

A dramatic rescue in Fall River. A woman escaping her burning apartment building clings to the fire escape hoping for help. The woman was trapped and screaming for help as flames and smoke filled her triple decker.
That's when a stranger rushed to her rescue. She was carried down to safety by fire fighters. The heroic rescue caught on cell phone video.
"She wouldn't come down, on the balcony. She just stood there. She was nervous. She was in shock," said neighbor Lucy Gouveia.
As fire tore through the Rodman Street apartment building Gouveia's brother, 37-year-old Eric Gouveia, jumped into action. He climbed the fire escape to the woman's 3rd floor apartment.
"The fire department had just arrived in time, so he was able to just keep her calm at the moment, keep her up there until they arrived," said Gouveia of her brother.
The woman, in her early 50's, is not being identified. She was taken to the hospital for smoke inhalation as fire fighters turned to saving her home.
"Upon arrival we had heavy fire and smoke on the first floor. And smoke showing on the 2nd and 3rd floor," said Fall River Fire Department District Chief Ambrose Smith.
The fire, which started in a common room on the first floor, was put out in just under half and hour.
13 tenants, including two children, were displaced in the blaze.
"I'm speechless, really. I never expected to see anything like this in my homes, but it happens," said Eric Chagas who grew up in the house. His father owns the building.
The cause of the fire is under investigation tonight.
The American Red Cross is assisting the displaced residents.

I'm entering the one page dungeon comp as well here's where I'm at so far. Going for a Mike Schley'esk dungeon and going more for subtle. Gonna post the story behind the map after. Hope you enjoy!
Good start, Geamon. Can't wait to see where it goes.
Here's where I finished tonight. Not entirely satisfied with the entry in relation to the towers, nor of the shadowing on the stairs on the 2F of the towers. I will work at this until I get a desirable finish.
Unfortunately, I didn't get much done today. Here's the edits I got in. Added sarcophagi and fixed the entrance. Still some more issues to address but I'm liking where this is going.
Here's the story for the map which I'm still brainstorming on how to represent in the labeling and legend.
Accompanying the rise of the republic of X, the lineage of the X dynasty was ended when rebel forces invaded and murdered the current monarch King X II in the royal palace within the capital of X. Known for his radical views in the faith and the sudden betrayal of the sovereignty of the crown, the people soon rose to rebel against the the Great Empire of X whom had been acclimated as the peoples new overlord. For the next five years the country was torn asunder by the conflict against their new stealth conquerers. The citizens finally prevailed and cast out the imperial forces from their lands and put the traitor king and his six concubines to death for his crimes against the people and the faith. Loyalist troops true to His Majesty King X II managed to recover the body of their lord and his concubines and deliver them to a secret tomb located within the X Mountains deep within the X Wastes. Here his servants research means to allow their liege to return to this plane of existence so he may claim the throne once again. Can you save the republic of X from the "Cult of the Traitor King" and their plots to reclaim power?
The X's aren't defined because I'm not sure which thematic style I wanna aim towards, desert based civilization with sandstone structure? etc?
Note: I apologize in advance for the repeated posting and updates, just really excited with the project.
I've hit a fork in my style for this project I have to make a major decision going forward. Do I wanna follow the same path taken so far with a smooth looking finish or to make it a little grungier by bump mapping my base color cloud layer with the textures as well as the current use of layer modes. The first option is obviously keeping in the style of the inspiration I'm deriving from Mike Schley's numerous maps. However the second option is obviously something that appeals to my aesthetic very much so. I'm also unsure which path translates the best on paper as a printed product which in the spirit of the comp is what we are aiming for from my understanding. Any suggestions or tips appreciated seeing as I have no experience with creating a conducive to print product and wanna represent the CG well in the final product looking semi non amateur.
Edit: Sorry on thumbs not working.
Decided to keep with the smooth style. I've been working on the end layout border, labeling, and such. Not completely satisfied with the border but its location and spacing are ideal in my mind, going to fiddle with that next. The dungeon is incomplete being as bare as it is but wanted to make sure elements are legible enough due to it being a requirement of the comp. Also included a single creature/encounter element symbol for demonstration and feedback. Anyone know a method to check visibility as if it were printed but on a reader or editor? Unfortunately I don't have any print capabilities available even in B&W. Also any suggestion on font choice and it's legibility?
Here's my latest update. Looking for proof reading in case I got errors. I'm very happy with the layout and border now. All I need left to do is furnish and grungify the dungeon proper now. Any criticism is welcome!
Sarcophagi is the only one I see (and I looked that up in a wiki here so I still might be wrong) Also if I'm not mistaken there isn't supposed to be any game information.Regardless it's great. I love your style with these types of maps :)Quote:
The submission must have a name, an author, a map, a key, a link to the license (http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/3.0/) and no game stats.
Yeah I know wasn't too sure if linking to an external source counted. Seeing as I'm keeping things generic enough with just a suggestion to use certain things not sure. I'll probably email the organizer and clarify.
Really cool base map, geamon. It does feel a little empty, though, like it might benefit from more dungeon dressing or props. I don't know if a lot of the previous winners had 'visual stories' going on in their map or not, but it it always something I like to see. Overall, everything is very crisp and light. I feel like this would make for a great encounter.

Providing complete services to clients throughout California.
On each and every project, the Blach team works closely with clients to create a customized solution that provides a roadmap for success. This roadmap takes into consideration typical factors such as the project budget and schedule.
But because of Blach's breadth of service options and building experience, we are able to look at additional dynamics and apply the best solutions to optimize the project.
Once the project team has a clear understanding of a client's needs and goals, it may propose employing an alternative project delivery method, identify innovative opportunities for sustainability, offer ways to enhance the energy efficiency of the building, or leverage virtual design and construction tools (BIM) to eliminate waste and build complex aspects of the design more effectively.
The following is a list of Blach Construction's services and resources:
- Construction management
- Program management
- LEED/sustainability consultation
- Integrated Energy Services (IES)
- Preconstruction services
- Building Information Modeling (BIM)
- Mechanical/Electrical/Plumbing (MEP) design and engineering
Lean Construction
Blach embraced the "Lean way" of thinking long before it was the latest buzzword in the construction industry. Our staff is always looking for ways to eliminate waste in any facet of our operations. One of our core values is innovation, which in part means that we are committed to continuing our Lean development and growth. Examples of how Blach has continued its commitment to being a Lean organization include:
- Removing waste in our accounting process by automating vendor invoice approvals. The completely electronic system allows for faster routing, streamlines the review and approval loop and speeds prompt payment to our vendors – all without the need to add an additional person or over-tax our existing accounting team.
- Electronic data sharing across all employees and projects to allow open communication and avoid the unnecessary step of creating additional layers of paper or impediments
- Creating a culture of continuous improvement by utilizing plus/delta sessions (lessons learned) after any key project event, corporate event and the conclusion of each project
- Use of a four-week (sometimes six-week depending on the project) look-ahead schedule for project planning
- Selection and implementation an ERP system that consolidates more than 18 separate software programs into one, efficient and connected system to be used across the entire company
- Creating a "Great Ideas" email box for any employee to submit an idea to remove waste, streamline an operation, start something we're not yet doing or stop something we're doing that is no longer providing value
We have a dedicated initiative within Blach to continue to develop our people (as well as the clients, architects, subcontractors and consultants that we work with) and utilize the latest Lean tools and techniques. This creates a system of continuous improvement. While Blach is committed to being a Lean organization, these actions translate into improvements in the way we approach each project. Trust is built, commitments are kept, budgets are maintained and projects are delivered on time with the highest level of quality.

Japanese investigators probing a battery problem that has grounded 787 jets worldwide were joined in their efforts Friday by U.S. aviation safety officials and inspectors from Boeing, which makes the plane.
TOKYO — U.S. safety officials and Boeing inspectors joined a Japanese investigation Friday into the 787 jet at the center of a worldwide grounding of the technologically advanced aircraft.
Japanese TV footage showed the American investigators — one each from the Federal Aviation Administration and the National Transportation Safety Board and two from Boeing — inspecting the All Nippon Airways jet on the tarmac at Takamatsu airport in western Japan.
The investigation is being led by the Japan Transport Safety Board.
The pilot of the ANA plane made an emergency landing Wednesday morning after he smelled something burning and received a cockpit warning of battery problems. All passengers evacuated the plane on emergency slides.
The American inspectors were expected to examine the battery later Friday, said Mamoru Takahashi, a JTSB official.
In the wake of the incident, nearly all 50 of the 787s in use around the world have been grounded. Aviation authorities in Japan have directed ANA, which owns 17 of the planes, and Japan Airlines, with seven, not to fly the jets until questions over their safety have been resolved.
The 787, known as the Dreamliner, is Boeing's newest jet, and the company is counting heavily on its success. Since its launch after delays of more than three years, the plane has been plagued by a series of problems including a battery fire and fuel leaks.
An initial inspection by Japanese officials of the 787 in Takamatsu found that a flammable battery fluid known as electrolyte had leaked from the plane's main lithium-ion battery beneath the cockpit. It also found burn marks around the battery.
The 787 relies more than any other modern airliner on electrical signals to help power nearly everything the plane does. It's also the first Boeing plane to use rechargeable lithium-ion batteries for its main electrical system.
GS Yuasa Corp., the maker of the lithium-ion batteries used in the 787s, said it was helping with the investigation but that the cause of the problem was unclear.
The FAA has required U.S. carriers to stop flying 787s until the batteries are demonstrated to be safe. United Airlines has six of the jets and is the only U.S. carrier flying the model.
Aviation authorities in other countries usually follow the lead of the country where the manufacturer is based.

My latest book, CAT SENSE, was published in 2013 in both the UK and the USA, and featured in the non-fiction best-seller lists in both countries: it is being translated into Dutch, Finnish, German, French, Polish and Japanese. Together with Professor Alan Wilson of the Royal Veterinary College and Dr Sarah Ellis of the University of Lincoln, I appeared in the BBC Horizon TV programmes "The Secret Life of the Cat" and "Little Cat Diaries", which drew record audiences when first broadcast in the summer of 2013: a further three-part series is being made by BBC2 TV for airing in October 2014.
My previous book, DOG SENSE/IN DEFENCE OF DOGS (2011), was also a best-seller in both the UK and the USA, and has been translated into Dutch, German, Polish, Spanish, Italian, Portuguese (Brazil), Finnish, Czech, Japanese and Korean. TV appearances in 2013 and 2014 included "The Wonder of Dogs" (BBC2) and "Dogs: Their Secret Lives" (Channel 4). Feature articles have included Great Thinkers on Dogs in "The BARk" magazine (USA).

"Recommended firm for succession, foundations and trusts ..."
JUVE Handbuch 2013/2014
Succession, Foundations and Trusts
German estate tax reform has significantly eased the fiscal conditions for transferring businesses and assets to next-generation family members or foundations and trusts. Nevertheless, creating tax-optimised and legally sound structures is a complex matter requiring tailored, expert advice. Working with clients at an early stage allows us to develop the best possible solutions for their specific needs. As a full-service law firm with extensive experience in counselling enterprises and family-run businesses, we offer integrated advice on all aspects of succession planning and asset structuring. Boasting an excellent reputation in tax and corporate law, our lawyers collaborate regularly with other practices within and outside the firm to provide seamless, coordinated service to clients. Our company succession and trusts practice prides itself on developing creative and flexible solutions adapted to the vast array of domestic and international tax, corporate and inheritance rules and regulations.
Succession planning
Gleiss Lutz helps mainly family-owned companies develop and design effective succession plans. We advise on the transition of businesses and assets to next-generation family members, founations or trusts, as well as on relocation issues and multiple domiciles. We take a structured approach to creating the most economic, legally sound and tax-efficient business succession solutions and strategies for the transfer of private assets. As a full-service law firm, our advice covers the full range of corporate, tax and inheritance law aspects as well as all other relevant topics, such as employment law or co-determination issues.
Innovative and tailored solutions
Not only are inheritance and gift tax regimes more complex than ever before, so too are asset and company structures as well as clients' goals and objectives. We provide sound advice and expert guidance to allow family-run businesses to effectively structure their assets across borders. What's more, our tax team is particularly adept at delivering innovative, bespoke solutions to complex problems – no matter how challenging they are. Our tax specialists have built up a wealth of expertise in this area, advising not only on inheritance and gift tax, but also on reorganisation tax issues and necessary structural changes. As a result, we help clients avoid the legal hurdles and headaches while minimising their tax burden.
Foundations and trusts
Foundations and trusts can be a useful tool for protecting and preserving assets when it comes to estate and business planning. We advise clients on the tax and legal issues in connection with structuring foundations and trusts, making the most of the fiscal benefits available.
Cross-border asset structuring
The practice has a strong international focus, frequently advising on complicated – and often closely intertwined – issues involving tax, trust and corporate law. To help clients navigate this maze we offer seamless, quality advice across borders. We have established a trusted and flexible network of tax experts spanning all key jurisdictions, built on close working relationships. Our excellent ties with Swiss, Austrian and US law firms, in particular, play a key role when it comes to relocation issues and foundations/trusts.
Corporate disputes
To minimise the risk of getting drawn into lawsuits and disputes, we offer clients cost-effective conflict avoidance advice. Sometimes, however, shareholder and partnership disputes are unavoidable. In such cases, we advise and represent family members or their companies in or out of court.

How To: Care for Your Curtains
Browsing the Natural Curtain Company's site the other day, we spotted a pretty comprehensive article about curtain care and cleaning. If you own cotton, wool, silk, or linen curtains, click below to find out how to keep them looking their best...
A few of their tips:
- Curtains aren't usually preshrunk or color-guarded.
- Because of this, machine washing can change their appearance.
- Cotton can be machine washed, but wrinkles easily and requires ironing.
- Wool can be washed, but should also be dry-cleaned every once in a while.
- Linen may or may not be machine washable. Double-check the care instructions.
- Washing or steam-cleaning can ruin some fabrics, such as silk.
- Water-sensitive curtains should be professionally cleaned to avoid damage.
- Clean curtains at the most once a season, or at the least once a year.

thanks, my wool curtains drive me mad with their delicacy
Vacuuming (or shaking out) periodically helps cut down on dust buildup as well.
These "tips" suck....the main tip here is to read the care instructions on your curtains.
lol @labchick. In other words, this post just informed me to treat curtains the way I would treat various clothing materials? Don't people understand that already?

Movie Review: Star Trek Into Darkness
Austin360.com | Austin American-Statesman
Never let it be said that J.J. Abrams doesn't have nerves of steel.
Based on what goes down in his "Star Trek Into Darkness" (and wow, that title just isn't getting any less clunky, huh?), his moxie could hold up bridges.
The second movie in Abrams ongoing reboot of the beloved science-fiction franchise is the summer's nerviest blockbuster, a dazzlingly kinetic, genuinely jaw-dropping hunk of sci-fi adventure that will thrill some fans, have others shaking their fists at the screen and generate the sort of fan buzz 'n' chatter that movie studios live for in the age of social media.
Don't think for a Vulcan second that Abrams has come around at all on exploring the utopianism that made the original "Star Trek" TV shows iconic. Nor has the audience (or the actors) had the time with these new iterations to give their relationships the depth that made movies such as "Star Trek II: The Wrath of Kahn" (the one with Ricardo Montalban) or "Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home" (the one with the whales) geek-culture 101.
If anything, "Into Darkness" shoves a Klingon dagger right between hard-core Trekkers shoulder blades. But those folks were never Abrams' target market, obviously. Everyone else may very well have a warp-speed blast.
Like the last movie, we open in mid-adventure, as Kirk, McCoy and Spock try to save a primitive civilization from extinction. The colors are enjoyably garish, the action constant and life-threatening, the 3-D completely unnecessary. (Seriously, old fashioned 2-D is fine for this thing.)
A few snap decisions later and the ever-brash Captain Kirk (Chris Pine, figuring out how to make the gold shirt work for him) has saved his crew but stomped all over the Prime Directive, which forbids Starfleet from interfering with primitive worlds. Actions have consequences, as Kirk finds out at the hands of his mentor/father figure Admiral Christopher Pike (Bruce Greenwood, still casually gravitas-ing all over the place).
A disaster-pornish attack on London from a mysterious terrorist calling himself John Harrison (Benedict Cumberbatch — and you better believe Mr. Sherlock Holmes 2.0 can do action) and some aggressive military maneuvering by Admiral Marcus (Peter Weller, in a performance that plays as pure paycheck) soon lead the Enterprise's crew where they have never gone before. Um, sort of.
The plot too often seems as if it's jerry-rigged to get from action-sequence to action-sequence and there is some genuinely terrible dialogue in spots. (There's nothing as wipe-away-a-manly-tear moving as Pike's brilliant "your father was captain of a starship for 12 minutes. He saved 800 lives including your mother's and yours. I dare you to do better" from the first outing; that is a shame.)
Whatever thematic heat "Into Darkness" generates revolves around what we do when we don't know what to do. Kirk's daddy-baggage doesn't exactly fit in the overhead compartment and when touched by tragedy, he starts making some bad decisions, including looking up to someone everyone else knows in their hearts he shouldn't trust.
The proverbial gang is all here, from Zachary Quinto's revisionist Spock (Zoe Saldana as Uhuru is his girlfriend and all) to Simon Pegg's Scotty and poor Karl Urban as McCoy, whose genuinely moving characterization in the last film is reduced to a series of tics here. Too bad. And let's just say Alice Eve as Carol (redacted) is proof that English actors are human, too.
But Cumberbatch is the straw that stirs the Romulan ale. With all of his role's who-is-he-playing, pre-release hype, the man had the very definition of impossible expectations. He handles it brilliantly, balancing menace, cool intelligence and physical savagery equally. Put it this way: Whatever doesn't entirely work about "Into Darkness" sure isn't his fault.
If the preceding has seemed a little tentative for a movie that really, no kidding, is as popcorn-enjoyable as any actioner you will see this summer, it's just that a) this is a tough movie to write about without spoiling the farm and b) in a time when all of the original Star Trek TV shows are just a Netflix queue away, it's hard to see a few sacred cows dispatched with the glee that Abrams displays here.
The biggest lesson in "Into Darkness" is that we all have to grow up sometime. Clearly, this includes those of us who hold on to fictional characters a bit too tightly.
Never let it be said that J.J. Abrams doesn't have nerves of steel.(Full review)
Its been about 4 years since the last 'Star Trek' came out and, sadly, this one is several steps down in quality. The story is 'action movie' lame, you expect more from this venerated series. In the first minute we see Kirk has done a 'raiders of the lost ark' move and the natives are chasing him and throwing spears. What century are we supposed to be in again?
And there there are the basic believability issues. I'm no scientist but I am at least college educated. Quick science quiz; if a spaceship in orbit around a planet loses power does it immediately fall to the surface? And if it is falling do the people on board have to cling to things so they don't fall even faster? If transporters can beam you from earth directly to the Klingon homeworld why do you need starships at all? If you needed to place a device inside an active volcano would you send the first officer to place it manually or a drone? Or wait, just beam it in there from wherever? We actually have better tech now than some of the things depicted in this movie. Somebody with a clue should have read the script of this thing and done some serious editing.

A three-minute YouTube video featuring Matt Damon vowing a strike against going to the bathroom was made to draw attention to a world water crisis.
Matt Damon announced Tuesday in a mock YouTube news conference that he was going on a toilet strike.
Although delivered with a touch of humor, the three-minute video was made to support a serious cause – raising awareness for the clean water crisis.
The Oscar-winning actor and philanthropist is striking in order to support Water.org, a non-profit which provides aid to developing nations that don't have access to safe drinking water and sanitation.
Damon, who co-founded Water.org, said that 780 million people worldwide lack access to clean water every day and 2.5 billion are without a toilet or basic sanitation.
"More people have cellphones than toilets," Damon said.
"In protest of this global tragedy and until this issue is resolved, until everybody has access to clean water and sanitation, I will not go to the bathroom," he announced in the video.
Damon also urged everyone to support the strike by signing up to make their voices heard online through Water Day on March 22: "Say no to toilets, say yes to clean water and sanitation for all."
So why did Damon decide to take up the fight for clean water and sanitation?
"I was kind of traveling around and looking at some of the issues of extreme poverty – water was just so huge that it underpinned everything," Damon said.
The YouTube video is part of a viral campaign intended to draw donations to the global water crisis through StrikeWithMe.org.
The campaign claims that a person can get clean water for life for just $25.

This was awesome! Served for Christmas dinner; everyone raved (even the professional chef)! The stuffing was SO good that next time I will double the recipe to serve additional on the side. Served with garlic mashed potatoes and butternut squash. The pears took well over 5 minutes to saute to 'just-caramelized' state; patience with this step!

This is beautiful to look at and very easy to make. WF butcher cut the humanely-raised pork loin flat, so it rolls up like a roulade. The filling is just a bit bland, and I'm wondering whether garlic and a dash of crushed red pepper might liven it up. Still, it's very festive and ridiculously easy. Served with a potato gratin, steamed kale, and a buttermilk pie for Christmas dinner.

Supporters of Utah's "constitutional carry" legislation, which would allow adults to pack a concealed weapon without having to obtain training, a background check and permit, will not have the votes needed to override Gov. Gary Herbert's veto of the bill.
Sen. John Valentine said Monday that he voted against overriding Herbert's veto of HB76, making him the 10th senator opposing the override, leaving the body short of the two-thirds majority required to convene an override session.
|Join the Discussion
|Post a Comment
"I think there were two main [concerns] coming from both sides of the debate," Valentine, R-Orem, said. "It's evident that public safety [officials have] some pretty high levels of concern about it. Part of it is the unknown. Part of it is they didn't feel like they had very much time to vet it."
He said law enforcement officers he spoke with were concerned about how they would deal with untrained gun owners who might be carrying weapons.
The other concern, he said, came from concealed-weapons instructors, who argued that other states might stop honoring Utah's concealed-weapons permit if Utah passed a constitutional carry law. Utah's weapons permit is recognized in 34 states, but he said permits from states that have constitutional carry laws on the books are not recognized.
"When both sides have got worries about it," he said, "it's time to step back and take a breath."
Nine of Utah's 29 senators said last week they would not support overriding Herbert's veto of HB76. Two others were leaning against supporting it. Valentine was one of four who was undecided.
Twenty senators and 50 of the 75 House members would have to support overriding the governor's veto to convene an override session. A survey to measure support in the House was sent Thursday.
The bill passed the Senate with 22 votes. Three of those supporters are not supporting the override — Valentine, Sen. Curt Bramble, R-Provo, and Senate Majority Leader Ralph Okerlund, R-Monroe.
Sens. Evan Vickers, R-Cedar City, and Peter Knudson, R-Brigham City, said last week they were leaning against an override.
"I am very much disappointed with the guys who are changing their vote," said Sen. Allen Christensen, R-Ogden, the Senate sponsor of the bill. Christensen said he does not expect the bill will be back next session.
"I don't know why we would. It's such a very narrow, narrow issue, I don't know how you compromise on it," he said. "If we can't override the veto, I just don't see it coming back again unless we get a whole lot of new votes in there."
He said Utah law already allows people to carry an unloaded firearm in the open. The goal of the bill was to ease the fears of people who are uncomfortable with open carry by allowing people over age 21 to conceal their weapon without having to get a permit.
Herbert, in vetoing the bill, said Utah's concealed-weapon-permit system is the best in the nation and he saw no compelling reason to change it.
He was urged to veto the bill by dozens of Utah chiefs of police and mayors, and the Catholic Diocese of Salt Lake City.

November 2013 – September 2014
A goal of many OVW grantees is to change institutional practices that give rise to poor outcomes for survivors of violence against women. Praxis International offers methods and tools for activists and representatives from institutions that process "cases" to move toward approaches that reform the ongoing work routines that ultimately shape case outcomes. The tools avoid blaming individuals for failing to protect victims. A Community Assessment emphasizes understanding how work is organized in ways that impede attention to victim safety and well-being and to offender accountability. Practitioners and advocates work side by side to analyze policies, case files, and the steps in case processing in order to identify concrete points of change. This webinar will provide an overview of the tools available and how they might benefit your community's efforts to improve responses to violence against women.

Presented by Teresa M. Garvey
The application of Crawford principles in the context of forensic evidence continues to plague the criminal justice system. The United States Supreme Court's decision in Williams v. Illinois did not provide the guidance prosecutors had hoped for with regard to satisfying Sixth Amendment confrontation requirements in cases involving forensic evidence, where multiple analysts may be involved or where examining experts are no longer available to testify. The Williams decision raises more questions than it answers about when and how an expert may testify to conclusions based upon the opinions or work of other (non-testifying) experts or technicians.
This webinar will provide a review of the relevant case law, and will explore how trial prosecutors can present a case involving forensic testing that involves a multitude of technicians and experts. It will also address Williams' impact on "cold cases," in which original experts who performed autopsies and other forensic examinations and testing are no longer available for trial. This webinar will provide practical suggestions to trial prosecutors who must balance limited resources against the need to secure convictions that will withstand confrontation challenges on appeal.
Allied justice system professionals including but not limited to prosecutors, law enforcement officers, lab personnel, medical professionals, and judges are encouraged to view the recording.

The Mission of Conference on Crimes Against Women:
|Description: Those who work with survivors of domestic violence, dating violence, stalking and sexual assault know that survivors' experiences with abuse are often connected with trauma and mental health. Representation of clients experiencing trauma in civil protection order cases can present unique challenges. While some of these challenges stem from the nature of the law surrounding these cases, other challenges arise out of the barriers that trauma survivors face in daily life, exacerbated during the course of legal representation. The very nature of the legal system, and the experience of seeking legal protection, can further traumatize or trigger clients, creating barriers to accessing legal remedies. This webinar will provide information on how to tailor legal advocacy of clients who are experiencing trauma in order to:
? Provide assistance that accommodates their mental health needs.
? Make civil legal justice accessible.
? Obtain the best possible legal outcomes.
Discussion will include: The definition and effect of trauma on clients and how to counsel clients in a trauma-informed manner, as well as strategies that anticipate and account for trauma in court.
Please join the National Council of Juvenile and Family Court Judges (NCJFCJ) and the National Center on Protection Orders and Full Faith and Credit (NCPOFFC) to learn how Civil Protection Orders: A Guide for Improving Practice (CPO Guide) and Engaging in Best Practice Assessment of the Civil Protection Order System (Assessment Tool) can be used to assist your community in enhancing its civil protection order system. Faculty will briefly describe the CPO Guide and the Assessment Tool and then engage participants in understanding how the two tools can be utilized to identify gaps and promote improvements in protection order processes.
Participants will learn how the Assessment Tool can assist communities in implementing the values and practices outlined in the CPO Guide through assessment of their current protection order system. Participants will also learn how their communities can benefit from using the CPO Guide to improve their systems' response to victims of domestic violence and their families. Faculty will describe how NCJFCJ and the NCPOFFC collaborate to provide communities and professionals with technical assistance and training, based on both of these tools, that focuses on the particular needs of each community.
This webinar is being co-hosted by the NCJFCJ) and the NCPOFFC. Judges, advocates, law enforcement, prosecutors, civil attorneys, court personnel, probation and other professionals who work with civil protection orders are encouraged to participate.
Faculty for the webinar will be:
- Monica Player, Attorney Advisor, National Center on Protection Orders and Full Faith & Credit
- Nancy Hart, Program Attorney, National Council of Juvenile and Family Court Judges
- Hon. Steven Aycock, (Ret.), Judge-in-Residence, National Council of juvenile and Family Court Judges

Daily OM: You meet someone for the first time and feel as if you know them already. You're in a town that you've never been to before, yet you recognize streets and buildings. You start playing a new sport and amaze everyone, including yourself, at your natural abilities and intuitive knowing of the rules. We often describe such experiences as déjà vu: the experience or feeling that a new situation has happened to us before. Then again, the possibility does exist that we have actually lived these experiences in the past or, rather, in another lifetime. Many spiritual practices believe that reincarnation is real: Our souls return to this earth over a series of lifetimes to evolve, learn, grow, transform, and become more spiritually attuned through the course of each life. When we reincarnate, it is believed that we tend to cycle through our different lives with many of the same people. Often these traveling "soul" companions are the ones we enter into relationships with; we work through our unresolved issues together so that we may heal. When we struggle or keep encountering blocks that keep us from reaching our goals, there may be a specific lesson that we are supposed to learn in this lifetime. Being naturally blessed with a musical talent or another gift can be a special ability that you worked hard to develop in a past life. You may even have lived before as another gender or as part of a different social or economic class. Each lifetime brings with it specific lessons that are necessary for our spiritual evolution....read more>>>...

Eat.Sleep.Wear. Comes to California
A few months back we had the pleasure of meeting Kimberly Pesch of blog Eat.Sleep.Wear. in her adoptive hometown of New York City.
We've always admired her travels that she beautifully documents on her blog and Pinterest, but nothing prepared us for the news that she had never been to California!
To a girl who has been all over the world, this came as quite a shock for our team at Roxy, and we immediately felt the need to get her out to California, and stat!…and that's exactly what we did!
A self-expressed beach girl at heart, Kim fit right in at our Fall 2013 shoot. Unlike the typical city girl that may have felt like a fish outta water, Kim was quite at home up in Santa Cruz, California. Ready for early morning call times; she didn't want to miss out on any sunrise and became fast friends with Roxy surfers Kelia Moniz, Monyca Bryne-Wickey, Justine Mauvin, and Bruna Schmitz.
Here are some of her lovely looks during her adventures up the California coast; including her trip to Manhattan Beach where she wore a sweater for all seasons, the Rochester, followed by a plaid Faded Journey shirt up at Capitola Beach, and on our last day of shooting Kim sported a motorcycle jacket (little did she know we'd actually be shooting with a motorcycle later that day!) .
For more on her trip, check out her California Dreaming Pinterest board (it's a sight to see!). Stay tuned for more…Kim snapped tons of pics and will be sharing them with us until Fall 2013 of next year! Can't wait.

The Watson in Adelaide, Australia is More Than Elementary
When pinning places to go on your next vacation, hopeful travelers might be surprised to find that Adelaide, Australia is a perfect destination to explore a budding art scene and stay in a new hotel. The city has witnessed a few new hotels enter its borders, but The Watson will be the coolest addition to an otherwise sleepy city.
The Watson is the brainchild of Art Series Hotels (the folks behind Melbourne's The Olson, The Blackman and The Cullen.) Planning to open next week, the hotel will offer up 140 suites, an in-house restaurant and fitness center. If you just need to provide this cool address to friends back home, a few long-stay apartments are available as well.

W Hotels to Return to Australia with the W Brisbane
Last time we checked in with W Hotels' plans to relaunch the brand down under, Melbourne was the city to be rumored in the running for W's return to Australia (W once had a property in Sydney for a few years in the early aughts.) That fell through, so the folks over at W decided that Oz'z third largest city, Brisbane, would be the perfect place. Hence W Brisbane, opening in 2018.
In an announcement last week, W said the hotel would be a par of a brand spanking new building complex on the western side of the central business district, just steps from the city's namesake river. The entire development will result in three tower rising from the ground, with W Brisbane staking claim to one of them; the other two will be office spaces and luxury high-rise living.

Bloody Marys: Your Go-To Cocktail Morning, Noon and Night
It's no secret that we love drinking in hotels here at HotelChatter. In fact, hotels might be our favorite "local." So all this week and next, we'll be pouring out some drinks for you during our second Hotel Cocktail Week(s) -- newly-expanded because there's just so many drinks to share. We'll be posting quirky cocktails, boozy trends, unique menus and even recipes so you can recreate your favorite hotel drink at home. We expect everyone will be getting a bit tipsy over the next couple of weeks! But don't forget to tip your bartenders, in this case, us.
The Bloody Mary is a gregarious cocktail: it's ready to party any time of the day and most people like it. Eggs, bacon and a Bloody Mary – yes. Burger and cheese? Prime rib and a baked potato? Yes and yes. Here, we thought we'd tell you about some of the goings-on in the Bloody Mary world so that you're up-to-date when you fondly order your next one.
Omni Mount Washington's Bretton Woods Bourbon Bloody Mary
Things are getting spicy at Omni Mount Washington Resort in New Hampshire with this twist on the classic Bloody Mary. Only available for a limited time due to a limited number of barrels used to make the resort's signature Woodford Reserve bourbon, the cocktail also contains tomato juice, garden-fresh local tomatoes, cherry peppers, celery, olives and pickled cucumber creating a unique, veggie-bevvie with a smoky flavor.

2 T fresh squeezed lemon juice
2 lime wedges

What to Order at Seabelle, The Bush-Tucker Restaurant on Fraser Island
Earlier this week, we told you about all of the "eco-action" going on at Kingfisher Bay Resort on Australia's Fraser Island and now it's time to reveal the inventive menu at the resort's fine-dining restaurant, Seabelle.
The restaurant takes its inspiration from the traditional land owners--the Butchulla--who used everything from the smallest of fruits, berries and seafood to sustain the many families calling 'K'Gari' (Fraser Island) home; in other words: "bush-tucker" cuisine. This concept is translated into a menu of familiar main ingredients with accents of native spices and flavors that are unique to this part of the world.

How Fraser Island's Kingfisher Bay Resort Gets Eco-Tourism Right
Yesterday, we looked at what it means to be eco-friendly in Costa Rica. Today, we're looking at how Down Under does eco-friendly.
Tucked off the coast of Queensland, Australia sits Fraser Island, a UNESCO World Heritage site that offers picturesque settings and incredible wildlife sightings. This contributor recently had the opportunity to experience first hand why many visitors rave about the island with a stay at the upscale, yet laid back eco-lodge, Kingfisher Bay Resort.
The entire stay got me thinking about what a hotel has to do in order to be considered an eco-resort.Thanks to a framed explanation in our room from the Ecotourism Association of Australia, we know that there are five points to consider.

One&Only Reopens Hayman Island Australia
As promised back in January, Hayman Island – the northernmost of Australia's Whitsunday Islands – reopened last week fresh off of $80 million dollars' worth of revamp, officially becoming "One&Only Hayman Island" in the process.
A lot has changed, as you would expect for that kind of cash, from updated rooms to a new spa and restaurants, but the basics are still there: a remote private island, a yacht transfer (or seaplane or helicopter, if you prefer) away from Hamilton Island, and the expanse of the Great Barrier Reef around you.

Brisbane's Hotel Scene Is Booming with The Arrival of 3 New Hotels
Australia's third-largest city was at one time considered a "big-country town", but that nickname might be ancient history with Brisbane welcoming three new hotels over the next few months. And the transformation couldn't come at a more perfect time with the G20 Summit taking place in the city this November.
Previously, Brisbane was rather barren when it came to edgy hotels. But soon the city will have a lot to show when it comes to cool destination hotels.
Already welcoming guests, Gambaro Hotel will attract those who want a slice of design within Brisbane's liveliest entertainment districts. Located on Caxton Street, Gambaro offers up sleek decor and luxury amenities like APPELLES Apothecary amenities and Sealy signature beds. Best of all, it has a rooftop with extraordinary views.

Spreading Out in a Windward Pavilion at qualia Great Barrier Reef
Once we had had a sunset cocktail at qualia, it was time to have a closer look at what you can expect inside one of its 60 individual Pavilions, consisting of Leeward and Windward Pavilions and the signature Beach House.
Scattered around the northernmost tip of Hamilton Island, all Pavilions look out to the Coral Sea: turndown service can draw the blinds for you at night, or you can leave them up and wake up with the sun streaming in in the morning. We liked the simplicity of the design, mixing polished woods with predominant white, and every part of the pavilion focused on the floor-to-ceiling windows and what's outside.
At night, you'll find an activity sheet in your Pavilion with an overview of what's on – or can be arranged – the next day. From early morning yoga classes to those sunset cocktails and trips out to the Reef, there are lots of options.

At Sunset, Sip on Cocktails on The Helipad at qualia Great Barrier Reef
Once you've made it past the gates at Hamilton Island's qualia, there is lots to explore, but one of the first things we did was head down to the helipad. While we arrived at the hotel through more traditional means (i.e. a transfer from the island's cute airport), you'll find this more high-flying option at the water's edge, also used for helicopter trips to nearby sights like stunning Whitehaven Beach.
Its vantage point means the grassy circle lends itself perfectly for sunset cocktails: chilled glass in hand, you can watch the sun paint the sky with color as it sinks rapidly into the horizon at the end of the afternoon (and sink rapidly it does, given the relative proximity to the Equator).

QT Hotels Puts the Political Moves on Canberra
Having seen just how stylish the staff at QT Sydney looked (not to mention the hotel itself), we couldn't leave the Australian capital Canberra without popping into the brand new QT Canberra, which opened mere weeks before we walked in on a sparkly sunny Southern Hemisphere autumn-in-April day.
Taking the canvas of the former Rydges Lakeside hotel, QT went to town and transformed the 15-story building on Canberra's London Circuit into something completely different; our local friends told us it was unrecognizable - and much improved - in its new incarnation. Canberra being the heart of the Australian government, and the hotel having seen its fair share of high-profile guests and hush-hush dealings, political references are plenty – from the live Twitter wall at reception to the politicians' portraits and wallpaper on the ground floor. Check out the new look of the guestrooms, restaurant, terrace, and speakeasy-style bar below.

Beyond the Gates at qualia Great Barrier Reef
Dramatic in a very Jurassic Park-esque manner, these gates guard the entrance to qualia, the luxury resort set on the northernmost tip of Hamilton Island, part of the Whitsunday Islands off the northeast coast of Australia.
While the gates in the 1993 Spielberg classic provided a close up with some very large – and lethal – species, qualia gives you access to the biggest single structure made by living organisms: the Great Barrier Reef, as well as everything else that you make the (invariably lengthy) journey out here for: sun, sand, azure blue sea, and 60 luxurious pavilions, or as qualia translates from Latin, 'a collection of deep sensory experiences'.

At Long Last, a Hotel Chain in Australia is Now Offering Free WiFi
Some like it hot. But more people like it free. We're talking about WiFi here.
In the wake of all of our WiFi news from last week, we've got some great news from the land Down Under, where getting free WiFi or even cheap WiFi is never easy. In fact, it's almost impossible. But not anymore.
Starting this week, Amalgamated Holdings Limited will be offering guests at all their hotels complimentary WiFi to browse the web, check email and Instagram the cool rooms (or so the hotel group hopes.)
If the AHL name is a little too vague, you might know some of the hotel brand names like QT Hotels, Atura Hotels, Rydges and Art Series Hotels.
So this means sharing your cool elevator ride or your aprčs-ski hot tub pic will be a little easier, not to mention cheaper.
Take it from us, WiFi doesn't come cheap at hotels in Oz. We've been offered up some connectivity if we forked over anywhere from $15 to $29.90 per day. Yes, we said per day! Now, you see why this is such a big deal for an entire portfolio of over 40 hotels to ante up some WiFi as part of the nightly rate.
Let this be a little message to other hotels, just do it already! Offering this service can't be that hard, can it?

Found February 07, 2013 on Celtics Life:

TEAMS: Los Angeles Lakers, Phoenix Suns, New York Knicks, Boston Celtics
TEAMS: Los Angeles Lakers, Phoenix Suns, New York Knicks, Boston Celtics
So, the Lakers enter tonight's game without Pau Gasol. Pretty sweet, right? Not quite. Ever since Mike D'Antoni replaced Mike Brown as the coach of the purple and gold, Gasol has been on the outside looking in. In one of the most confusing and indefensible moves in recent memory, D'Antoni had the guy coming off the bench. He has, understandably, not been happy with his role on the team even though it is for a reason, not a good one, but a reason just the same. Now he is out for at least four weeks with a torn ligament in his foot. Gasol is still one of the best big men in the game. He has skills for days and is arguably the best post up guy in the league. Any team should be ecstatic to have him on the roster, but not D'Antoni. Gasol just doesn't fit into D'Antoni's system of running and running and some running thrown in for good measure. This year, the big man is averaging career lows in ppg (13.4), offensive rating (106), effective field goal percent...

File under WOW! This is one for my brother, TJ Anderson, the Material Science Engineer.
Connecting a human brain to a computer is as much a materials science problem as a biology one. What kind of interface is delicate enough not to damage nerve tissue, but resilient enough to last decades?
The new microthread electrode, designed to pick up signals from a single neuron as it fires, is only about 7 micrometers in diameter. That is the thinnest yet developed, and about 100 times as thin as the conventional metal electrodes widely used to study animal brains.
Researchers need long-lasting electrodes in order to improve brain-machine interfaces. These systems, in preliminary studies, have allowed paralyzed people to control robotic limbs or a computer mouse. By using electrodes to record the firing of individual brain cells, scientists have learned to decode these signals as representing the movement of a rat's whiskers or a quadriplegic's effort to move his arms (see "Monkey Thinks Robot into Action").

Anyone that ends up here, don't bother.
go to here: http://jeromia.newgrounds.com/
I'm sick of this place, so I'm going to make only one area about me… and it's there. so see ya.
Okay so I have several developments to announce…
In any case, as I hinted in the above articles, I won't be posting up much music online for a while. It'll happen in the future, but not yet.
Nar, took me a while, but I eventually managed to get this up on tumblr…
Anyways there it is… Nice and simple…
right? XD
*Edit* Note that I added an extra bit in the end? Yeah that is there to make it more interesting :P
The Road - Jeromia
Because it's an original name… that's why.
Also, a tiny hint next time for me… RECORD IN MP3! or otherwise tumblr (and everyone else for that matter) will say "no thanks >:( "
Ah finally… everything is
ALMOST out of the way and I can actually post stuff up (alas!) :D
In any case, I have finally managed to get an awesome recording device (no seriously, my ears have literally being RIPPED TO SHREDS by this powerful recording device… Because I had no idea how to use it that's why.) Here, I'l post up what happens when you press record in the living room (which is btw, next to a busy highway… so yeah).
Enjoy! :P
If you can't read that, that's fine.
Your sane
Anyways here's what it says
These are stuff that I'm thinking to do when I get better. For now, I suppose I should go back to my old "children's" songs =.= .
Nice and Simple
Nothing fancy here.
That is, to the untrained eye. Those eighth notes are completely annoying to draw! D:< . Other then that, there was also figuring out the timing for the song. This is quite important for any song, getting it wrong means that when some else looks at your song and tries to play it, that person will not be able to follow it if your timing is off.
So I had to figure out THAT annoyance too.
The title might be "Nice and Simple" but there was definatly nothing "nice" or "simple" about writing THIS up =.="
(but honestly, it's the easiest song to play on this page :) )
I've decided as well that posting these "origins stories", I'll number the book and page number, that way it's easier for people to find stuff as I get more and more works up here.
Anyhow, NEXT SONG :D
Working the Scales
Hmmmm… I have to think hard to figure this one out. I 'think' I was trying to make a Dracula-like theme by playing random cords. So then I played some other notes after 2 cords I got an idea. What if I just keep going up a bit, then play two notes downwards and then two more notes upwards and then a new set of chords?
Turns out, when you get too high, the chords sound irritatingly annoying, which is why the 2 very high notes up there (8^E and 8^A…
sorry, don't know how to say it properly) aren't chords, as they sound horrible, and BLEH (plus it's sometimes better to keep things simple, you know? "less is best"?)
Although I made this song a while back (page 1, 2 and 3 would probably be riddled with songs I wrote down "unimportant-like" in music class =.=) I named it yesterday. I realized it's just a set of chords going up and then down, so I named it "Working the Scales" because that actually REALLY fits.
(it actually doesn't… much)
Okay before I began, I'd like to give a shout out to Johnny Wander
It's only because of these guys that I decided to create this tumbr account and take this important step to become a composer (well it's nothing now, but wait oh UNSEATED AUDIENCE! :D )
Anyhow lets start with the first song (it fits right? firstly the first song -.- )
Major Key Song
Ah yes this one. This is my first 'composing for a task' thing, rather then randomly playing notes, adding a key signature and then PRESTO, a song. No, this time I selected a specific key signature, then played randomly to find the song XD.
Anyways, after making our "randomly generated" song, we were supposed to play it to the class, either in a group or by yourselves. When it was my turn, I didn't play it amazingly, but people thought it was a nice song (they were impressed :) ) so this song is rather important.
The cool thing about this song is that, if you changed the major key (this version is in F major btw) you can still get the same structure, but a different song entirely (like a scale) so, I decided to call this "Major Key Song" as it kinda fits with that.
It sound okay, and my favorite part (other then I might have created a new type of scale :D ) is the last two bars. A nice, soft ending is always… nice XD
Here it is, all my hardwork last night
(well, it wasn't really THAT difficult :\ ) is finally scanned up and "view-able."
:D I'm quite excited actually.
Anyways just to let you know, here's some of the obvious mistakes I made:
Enjoy and try playing it out for yourselves :)

TEAMS: Jacksonville Jaguars, New England Patriots
New England Patriots (10-4) at Jacksonville Jaguars (2-12) Tom Brady and the Patriots lost last week, but there was still a lot to like from that game. They scored 34 points on the league's best defense, despite a season high 4 turnovers and despite missing Rob Gronkowski. Their defense surrendered 41 points, but that could have been a lot less if not for the uncharacteristic 4 turnovers. The loss knocked them down from being seen as the consensus Super Bowl favorites, but it didn't knock them down too far. They still are by far the league's best team in points differential, thanks to 21 wins by 6 or more (most in the NFL) and no losses by more than a touchdown (1 of only 2 teams that can say so, with Seattle being the other, but they should have lost by 9 in San Francisco, if not for the Harbaugh declined challenge). I don't think anyone out there would be shocked if they didn't lose again this season and maybe a loss was exactly what they needed. They've ended the last 2 seasons o...

"There's got to be a place for those people to go and this was a great solution where it's close enough for those employees to walk on a daily basis, but not so far way that they won't come to it," Brown said.
The entire lot is free to use, but there are still some final touches that need to be made, like concrete-sealing.
"And they'll kind of do that in stages where a few spots maybe, like one row of traffic may be stopped for a day so they can seal that and move on. But those are the little things that come with the lot," said Brown.
Brown also said the extra space will be a big help during events like Blues in the District and Gus Macker.

A 37-year-old man from Charlotte who went missing from Olivet Wednesday morning has been found dead, police say. According to Olivet police, Jesi Beebe was found in west Jackson County on Saturday morning. Officials say Beebe's death is not suspicious and they are not looking for any suspects.
Beebe was last seen Wednesday morning at Main Street Auto in Olivet after his girlfriend dropped him off. Police say he works there as a mechanic and usually runs the shop on his own. Beebe's uncle, who owns the business, called later, but never got an answer.
Beebe leaves behind two children.
