Cities have always been subject to the forces of ruination. Buildings, monuments, and infrastructures built with the pretense of permanence, inevitably succumb to the shifting fates of disinvestment, abandonment and transition. How should we look at these spaces as citizens, as designers, planners, and ecologists? What’s going on within them and why does it matter?

Woodinville, population 10,938 (2010), lies in northern King County roughly 15 miles northeast of Seattle. The City uses TDR to encourage landowners to preserve open space, environmentally sensitive areas, park sites, historic landmarks, resources and rural areas.
Sending areas must contain one or more of the following features: open space, wildlife habitat, woodlands, shoreline access, community separators, regional trails, historic landmarks, agricultural land not already preserved, park sites that serve the receiving sites where the TDRs are being transferred and a freestanding multistory parking garage in the CBD zoning district. The number of TDRs available to a sending site is calculated as the gross land acre minus prior conservation easements and land dedicated to development times the base density of the zoning for the site. TDRs for sensitive environmental land declared unbuildable at both the sending and receiving site is combined and multiplied by the allowable base density. TDRs are transferable after the sending site has been permanently restricted by a conservation easement or, in the case of land zoned A-10 or A-35, a conservation easement consistent with the purchase agreements used in the agricultural land development rights purchase program.
Receiving sites must be zoned R-4 through R-48, TB, CBD or O. Each of these districts has a baseline and maximum density achievable via TDR. For example, baseline in the R-4 is 4 units per acre and maximum density with TDR is 5 units per acre while baseline in the R-48 is 48 units per acre and maximum density with TDR is 72 units per acre. Receiving site projects must comply with the dimensional requirements of the zone with the base density that is most comparable to the density achieved by the receiving site project by using TDR.
When a receiving site project requires approval as a subdivision map, a conditional use permit or a commercial building permit, the hearing on the primary proposal serves as the hearing on the TDR application. When the primary proposal does not require a hearing, the TDR application is considered under the decision criteria needed for conditional use permits.

How can I either block some numbers from going to voicemail or forward them to another number?
I have a Samsung Galaxy 8 Note, in case that matters.
I keep getting calls that are unwanted, there are a couple different numbers they come from. I block them, but they still go to voicemail (no message left, just 3-5 seconds of silence). I want them to stop.
Is there a way to block certain callers from going to my voicemail?
Is there a way to forward specific callers to another number?
I tried to find an app to help but had no luck. Is there another solution to my issue?
Re: How can I either block some numbers from going to voicemail or forward them to another number?
I wish there was but, AFAIK, the only thing you can do is to put them in the phone's reject list, which sends them to the designated voicemail number.
Now, what you might be able to do is use a 3rd party service (e.g. Google Voice) for for either your voicemail or to screen your incoming calls.
In the first scenario you'd set your voicemail number to your Google Voice line and then reject calls coming from the unwanted callers. This depends on GV seeing the original caller ID and not your caller ID on the forwarded calls. I really don't know if this would work or not.
The second, you'd set up your GV line to screen the unwanted callers and then forward the rest to your phone. This I know will work but you have to start fresh and give everyone your GV number and not your cell number.
Sorry, if this is short on specifics. I'm kind of thinking this out as I type.
The devices support native Android 7 blocking features. This means they'll only allow you, at the device level, to block the SMS or Call from reaching your device. Whatever network enforced routing is in place will take over. In this case, that's call forwarding to voicemail. T-Mobile offers a feature called Family Allowances which has a Numbers Never Allowed feature that operates at the network level.
In other words, blocking voicemail is $5 per line, per month.

I found this recipe for Homemade Chocolate Pudding scribbled down on a piece of paper with stars drawn next to it. The sad thing is, I don’t remember how I got it. Apparently, whoever I got it from had noted it as star worthy. I decided to give it a try and man-oh-man am I glad I did. Y’all are going to love this!
I love the fact that this recipe does not have egg in it. Many homemade pudding recipes have a custard base that uses eggs. This one uses cornstarch. After doing a little digging I’ve learned that this is actually a version of homemade cornstarch pudding. This recipe turned out perfectly smooth without any lumps…just as pudding should be. I will look no further for a homemade pudding recipe. This is it!
I decided to add sprinkles to one of these pudding cups and love how fun and colorful it turned out. This would be a special treat for children to find on a outdoor summer buffet. It would also be great for birthday parties, pool parties, and pajama parties. Strawberries are another thing that goes great with chocolate. It’s one of my very favorite combinations.
Making Homemade Chocolate Pudding, or any kind of pudding for that matter, seems a little old-fashioned when there are so many instant pudding mixes in every market you go to. They come in every flavor imaginable and can be made in a jiffy which makes is super convenient. When you’re not in a hurry and have the time, I encourage you to take the time and make this. It really doesn’t take that long and the finished result is so worth it.
This rich and creamy Homemade Chocolate Pudding recipe is a perfect dessert for all ages.
In a small bowl whisk the cocoa, cornstarch, salt and half-and-half.
In a medium sauce pan heat the chocolate, sugar, and milk until the chocolate has melted.
Pour the half-and-half mixture into the chocolate mixture and heat, stirring constantly with a whisk until the mixture suddenly thickens.
Pour the pudding into a bowl and press a piece of plastic wrap against the surface of the pudding to prevent a skin from forming. Refrigerate till completely chilled for several hours or overnight.
When ready to serve whisk pudding and fill individual dessert bowls.
Made this for dessert tonight. It satisfied my chocolate craving with a single serving! I substituted reduced fat milk for the half and half and it was still incredibly smooth and creamy and chocolatey good. Homemade pudding is sooo much better than boxed! A real treat.
Thanks Joyce! It’s good to know it turned out great – even with reduced fat milk. Lowering fat intake is always a good thing. I agree that homemade pudding is the way to go. I’m so glad you enjoyed it.

Once upon a time, I wanted a block to show off large-print Asian fabrics. I chose patience corners blocks. I began piecing it conventionally but changed course.
Why do you choose one quilt block instead of another?
For me it’s primarily about re-inventing block construction. I go for blocks where I’ve spotted alternative ways to make them block simpler. I like puzzling them out.
What strikes you? Is it because you admired one done up in your favorite colors? That’s usually the hook. Here’s a challenge to you: Picture a block that doesn’t appeal to you by visualizing it in your preferred palette.
Test yourself. Imagine a quilt block on Craftsy or Instagram in your favorite colors. Don’t scroll past it without picturing it in your fabrics. I’m serious, try it once. You’ll stretch yourself creatively.
To get a better sense of a quilt when laying out blocks for it, quilters squint at the work or view it through the lens of a camera. I’ve been accidentally doing the opposite of this when studying blocks. If I’m not wearing eyeglasses, I can’t clearly see images on my phone. I wind up “seeing” something that leads me to view a block’s components off-kilter.
Instead of choosing a block by its fabric, I zero in on the construction that goes into a block. Patience Corners was such a block for me.
Don’t fly past my Halloween block above if the colors don’t suit you. I chose the fabric to best illustrate how I manipulated the block. It came about because the standard method of sewing a pair of strips to adjacent sides of four small squares was just plain tedious.
Don’t rotate the pieces! This operation is as simple as switching a knife and fork at a place setting.
The orange fabric is as a one-way directional print; its direction is maintained in the switcheroo. I’m grinning and raring to show you shortcuts to make this block in fabrics of your choosing.
This version of my patience corner method is calculated for 10″ precut squares. It’s adapted from an extensive chapter in my book Rotary Cutting Revolution, which should answer any questions you may have about alternate variations. The entire book is available as a free PDF, a bonus included with the purchase of this Craftsy class.
For every block, you’ll need a square of fabric. A quilt of 100 blocks (75″ x 75″) would require 100 squares of fabric. One package of 42 assorted precut 10″ squares yields 42 blocks. Set them 6 x 7 grid for a 45″ x 52½” quilt.
Two 6″ x 6″ squares will remain.
As you can see, there are several cutting options. Make four cuts, get five pieces. It’s sort of like getting the 6″ square for free. And this is why I fail to generate scraps. I choose blocks that can be cut without waste from fabric squares.
Sew the 6″ strips to opposite sides of the square. Center and sew the oversize 9½” strips to the other sides. Trim the unit to 8½”.
Cut the 8½” unit into quarter: Slice through the center twice, into four subunits, each 4¼”.
Swap two opposite units, without rotating. Sew the pieces back together into an 8″ unfinished block.
Pairings of fabric may be mixed up (or not) and blocks may “point” left or right.
Susan Liimatta chose Japanese indigo strips to frame Kaffe Fassett prints. Her quilt The Zen of Fans was exhibited in spring 2017 at Paducah. Many images of her exquisite quilting may be seen here.
Awesome, genius, I love it! I have just the squares to do this, only have to finish 3 WIP first.
Why do you trim the block from 9-1/2″ to 8-1/2″?
Anita, what an absolutely gorgeous quilt!
All credit goes to the Alexander Henry brand border fabric !

I really wonder - How many of us have friends that we trust and can depend on for ANYTHING?
Most folks have fair weather friends, friends who only come around when they want something, work friends, school friends, church friends, the "long lost friends" and even "frenemies".
But how many out there really have that close bond with another human being?
This is a subject very close to my heart as I often find myself feeling as if I have NO friends at all.
And at others too many!
With the wedding coming up next year, it's been interesting to see who is a REAL friend and who's coming out of the woodwork just to eat cake.
Truthfully , sometimes, life does get in the way, and we tend to not make time for friends as much as we do our weekly trip to Target.
"I'm too busy with work/school/family ( insert activity here) right now, I'll call her next week"
For those friends in other states and countries - we convince ourselves that its too late to call and they are probably too busy to talk anyway.
But how do you know that your phone call isn't exactly what they need right then?
Friendships are a vital part of our functionality as human beings.
Our ability to bond with another seperates us from animals and gives us that sense of community.
From the oldest and dearest to the newest and youngest.
All my friends matter to me.
And so do my relationships with them.
I have friends of all ages, from all walks of life and schools of thought.
And it has made my life richer.
They are there for me when my family is/was not, they listen to my ideas, appreciate my peculiarity and enjoy my stories.
There are times in my life when I don't think that I would have made it through were it not for the love and support of close friends.
My goal for the rest of this year and next is to really make and effort to spend more time with my friends.
Which, I think I have a good chance of with all the wedding activities.
Sounds odd I know, most people are concerned about the lack of time they spend with their family.
Not me. My family is tight. We roll deep. All the time.
you just need to be with your girlfriends!!!!
So ladies be on the lookout for LOTS of ladies nights IN's and OUT's!!!
If we haven't been that close before - get ready.......we're about to get up close & personal!!!!
So tell me, do you have a great group of friends?
Any good suggestions for a ladies night out?

I've checked recent months messages for answer but didn't find it so asking here.
As agency owner I have PayPal account set up on Upwork to withdraw money, but any time I try to do that it fails.
When I make withdraw to PayPal request Upwork accepts it, but after a minute or less I see PayPal in withdraw methods marked as failed. The funds are subtracted from my account, but within several days they return back along with payment fee.
I'm discussing this issue with support for several month and still no solution there.
I tried to discuss this with PayPal but it eventually meaningless because all they can tell me that they don't see any payments to my account. They are not aware about any specific related to Upwork way of sending money.
PayPal account is working, it is connected to bank account and successfully receives payments from other sources in different currencies.
I also have to mention that on Elance PayPal withdrawals had been working.
Does anybody experienced same issue?
I would appreciate any help from Upwork staff regarding that issue.
If you are from the Ukraine, we have concluded Upwork money on Paypal is not working.
Did you experience the same behavior like in my case? Or PayPal is just unavailable option for you?
I am from Russia, and what bothers me the most is that migration from Elance to Upwork broke working withdraw method for us.
I'm sorry about the issue you've been having with using PayPal on Upwork. I'll follow up with the team and escalate your open ticket. Please keep checking your ticket for further updates.
Thank you very much, I am looking forward to any progress on that. However, after your message I got another "check with PayPal" recommendation from support.
I'd like to specifically point out that my PayPal account receives money every month from different sources. It works fine, it was verified by PayPal because it is a business type of account registered for entrepreneur according to all business and banking rules in our country, so there is no more documents or anything else to "check".
It is clear that something is wrong in Upwork-PayPal interaction. I really do think that Upwork IT stuff should investigate this issue, find the reason why the payment is rejected and either provide this reason in details to me to explain, or contact PayPal support that is in charge with payment API related issues and sort this out.
I've been receiving advises to "remove and add again PayPal account, check with PayPal", but did not get any meaningful reason why it will fix anything. And I removed and re-added accounts and contacted PayPal, with no success.
Being software developer myself and understanding how payment gateways work I am sure that when Upwork tries to do payment to PayPal and fails it receives some information about the reasons. This could be analysed and discussed with PayPal support staff OR, in case there is really something wrong with my account - that information should be presented to me.
I see that no one in support had even tried to go a bit deeper in this issue and find real reasons. They just bounce me every time I ask them about failed payment.
I've escalated your issue yesterday and received confirmation that the past withdrawal attempts were reversed due to not being approved by PayPal. This typically occurs if the account is not verified, which doesn't appear to be the case here, or if the user needs to complete some action with PayPal before they can receive funds on their PayPal account.
You can follow up on your ticket and continue the conversation, but I'd like to ask you to check with PayPal Support if there's anything related to your PayPal account which might be blocking your Upwork withdrawals.
I'm sorry I'm not able to offer a solution at this moment but please do let our team know if you make any progress with reaching out to PayPal.
Stanislav, have you solved this issue? Because I'm facing a similar problem.
I see your Paypal account wasn't accepted as a payment method. Please contact PayPal to confirm your ability to receive funds, check if there are any restrictions imposed on your account and if you need to take any action. In the meantime, please set up an alternative payment method.

If you prefer to travel by train, there are two options available: travel straight to Blois in 1hr 25min from Paris-Austerlitz train station, or travel to Saint-Pierre des Corps (near Tours) by TGV in 1hr 15min from Paris Montparnasse or from Paris-CDG airport in 1hr 40min. From there, hire a car or treat yourself to a ride in a tourist taxi. In the summer you can also take the shuttle service.
Built on a rocky outcrop, Blois was once the capital of the French kingdom during the reign of Louis XII. Its royal château overlooks the Loire and the streets of the historic city centre. In the courtyard of the château visitors can admire the monumental staircase on the striking Francis I wing, while the interior reveals sumptuous interiors such as the royal apartments (Francis I wing).
After your visit, wander through the city’s streets. Don’t miss the attractive Gothic Saint-Louis cathedral with its tall Renaissance tower, and stop to admire the St-Nicolas church with its combination of Romanesque and Gothic architecture.
Choose from one of three delicious venues for lunch on the banks of the Loire. First up is Restaurant Côté Loire, a charming 16th-century house once appreciated by Madame de Sévigné. Alternatively, let yourself be tempted to a gastronomic lunch not far from here at Au Rendez-vous des Pêcheurs. This former grocer’s shop and fishermen’s bar now serves food by Michelin-starred Chef Christophe Cosme. The third venue is L’Embarcadère, with its local boat-builders’ style and terrace overlooking the Loire.
After lunch, continue in the direction of Chambord (30 minutes’ drive away - 17 km) where the sumptuous château of Francis I awaits you.
To explore Chambord’s immense park, take your choice from a range of options: on foot, in a horse-drawn carriage or on an electric boat or rowing boat on the river Le Cosson. There are also 15 km of cycle paths on the estate, so you can go for a bike ride on your own or as a group on a multi-person bike!
Continue on to the Château of Cheverny, 30 minutes from Valençay (18 km). This stunningly white château boasts finely furnished and decorated Louis XIII interiors, such as the Guards’ Room with its sumptuous fireplace. Outside, the Apprentices’ Garden and vegetable garden are also worth a visit. If you fancy a more unusual visit of the park or canal, climb aboard one of the estate’s small vehicles or electric boats.
After your visit, head over to the Maison des Vins in Cheverny, situated just opposite the château and where you will discover local PDO Cheverny and Cour-Cheverny wines for tasting.
Choose from two hotel-restaurants for dinning and accommodation. The first, Le Manoir de Contres, is 15 minutes from Cheverny by car (10 km) The second, Le Domaine des Hauts de Loire, is 10 minutes from Chaumont-sur-Loire (7km).
Situated on a spur at a height of 40 metres, the Château of Chaumont-sur-Loire offers unobstructed views of the Loire. Allow 30 minutes to get there by car from Cheverny (29 km). Its drawbridge won’t fail to entice you from the outset, and the château boasts equally impressive interiors, notably with the Neo-Gothic fireplace, Gothic spiral staircase and Catherine de’ Medici’s bedchamber. The château is also and above all known for its gardens, which play host to the International Garden Festival every year. From April to October, thirty or so landscape creations are installed in the gardens, and works by various artists are distributed around the park and château of the first estate to be listed as an Arts and Nature Centre.
Have lunch at the château in one of the restaurants on the estate.
Situated just 15 minutes from the Château of Chaumont (17 km), the Royal Château of Amboise and its gardens majestically overlook the Loire. It even played host to several French kings during the Renaissance. In the royal suite, visit Henry II’s bedchamber, the splendid Council chamber and the Louis Philippe room. Last but not least, don’t miss out on the Saint-Hubert chapel which is the final resting pace of Leonardo da Vinci, and admire its magnificent stained-glass windows depicting the life of Saint-Louis.
If you’re feeling a little peckish after your visit, stop by at Pâtisserie Bigot on Place du Château or the Renaissance-style L’Auberge du Prieuré restaurant in the Château of Le Clos Lucé park run by Sieur Sausin, an expert in historical cooking.
Leonardo da Vinci was invited to the Château of Le Clos-Lucé by Francis I and arrived here in 1516, bringing with him the Mona Lisa and other major works. He spent his final years working here on various projects for the King and died in his bedroom in 1519. Discover the life and multiple talents of the Renaissance genius during a visit of his home with its rooms and models.
To return to Paris by car, allow 2hr 10min from Amboise (226 km). If you are travelling by TGV train, go to the station in Amboise. Allow 1hr 40min to reach Paris.

"I was 32-weeks pregnant with my second child when I was diagnosed with breast cancer, just over two weeks after my 35th birthday."
In our “Why I’m Running” series, Boston Marathon runners share what’s inspiring them to make the 26.2-mile trek from Hopkinton to Boston on April 16, 2018. Are you running Boston? Here’s how to share your story on Boston.com.
Hearing the words “You have Cancer” are not what anyone expects or wants to hear, but sadly it happens every single day. Less than three years ago I, unfortunately, heard those words. Most people thought it couldn’t have been any worse, but it was. I was 32-weeks pregnant with my second child when I was diagnosed with breast cancer, just over two weeks after my 35th birthday. Not only did I have to take care of my then-3-year-old, I also had to worry about my unborn child as well as myself. I was terrified. To this day when I relive my account or read what I went through I still can’t believe it’s me. I still go in for monthly treatments in hopes that there will be a cure in my lifetime. I am running the Boston Marathon in support of Dana-Farber because I am living proof of their mission to save lives. I am living with stage 4 breast cancer while simultaneously raising my young family and lead as normal a life as possible. Running is very cathartic for me. It helps me feel like myself. I have been running marathons and ultramarathons for many years. This will be my 25th official marathon and eighth Boston. Raising funds for Dana-Farber is critical. They are at the forefront of research and have made it possible for people like myself to lead fuller lives. This June marks my three-year cancer-versary. I hope to make it many, many more!

It's land offers a diverse climate of sea, open ranges, rolling mountains and collections of eco systems county wide. It's first native inhabitants were originally the Chumash Indians and now holds a county wide population of around 269,637 people. Some unique characteristics of San Luis Obispo are that it fosters an underlining college student culture due to the surrounding college campuses. The city recently holds the name passed down from Oprah Winfrey deemed as "The Happiest place on Earth" - As you roam the downtown region of San luis Obispo you'll most likely experience incredible weather. You'll notice beautiful historic buildings, missions, strange alleys, great restaurants and shops which make downtown SLO unique and special.

Today I stand up pretty early in the morning just to visit the gym since I haven’t been there for weeeeeks! After all these christmas dinners and lunches an brunches etc etc etc I feel like I have about 5kg more on my hips, which is hopefully not true – I didn’t have the courage to stand on the scale yet! haha. So during these days I will do a lot of workout to feel better soon. haha.
I’m wearing an outfit, which reminds me pretty much at a pyjama. Doesn’t it? In summer all the girls get crazy about this loose pants which are so comfortable and fresh. We saw pants like this just everywhere! But now it’s time for the next step. We don’t restrain the pyjama look on the trousers we combine it with a shirt in the same look and Ta-dah…the result is the pyjama all over look. Honestly it’s not the perfect outfit for winter as the fabric, which is silk, doesn’t keep you very warm. But sometimes we need to suffer to look good or stand out. Besides these last days were not that cold as they pretend to be, so it’s no problem to go out like this if you don’t have to be outside for the whole day!

(CNN) — The Senate Judiciary Committee will once again be the scene of a national drama Friday as its members prepare to vote on President Donald Trump’s embattled Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh.
The developments — coming in the wake of Thursday’s shattering hearing in which accusations and denials of sexual assault were made and vitriolic partisanship consumed the Senate — forebode coming days of high drama on Capitol Hill, with the prospect of a conservative Supreme Court in the balance.
Friday’s scheduled vote at 9:30 a.m. ET will be the first step in a series of votes to determine whether conservatives lock in a favorable court for a generation with a 5-4 majority. After the committee votes, the current plan is to hold a procedural vote on the Senate floor midday Saturday and hold the final vote early next week.
But a day after Kavanaugh and Christine Blasey Ford testified, it’s not clear whether committee Republicans have the votes to move Kavanaugh’s nomination to the full Senate, with Republican Sen. Jeff Flake of Arizona appearing to be the swing vote on a panel with 11 GOP members and 10 Democrats.
Senior GOP aides were confident Thursday night that Flake would vote yes, but he told CNN’s Kristin Wilson he was genuinely torn and undecided.
If the Arizona Republican were to vote against Kavanaugh, it would force the Judiciary Committee to report out the nomination unfavorably. That wouldn’t doom Kavanaugh, but it would be embarrassing to Republicans and require them to hold onto the remaining 50 Republican senators.
In the full Senate, GOP leaders have 48 solid yes votes. Three Republicans — Flake, Sens. Susan Collins of Maine and Lisa Murkowski of Alaska — and three Democrats in red states — Sens. Joe Manchin of West Virginia, Heidi Heitkamp of North Dakota and Joe Donnelly of Indiana — hold the future of Kavanaugh’s nomination in their hands.
Aides have made clear none of these six senators have made any commitments yet on how they will vote, and Republican leaders are quite literally in the dark at this moment.

OK its just me with a little help from my friends.
...which turned out to be well over 7 years on the road. Employed as a motorcycle courier and dispatch rider in London involved in delivery of consular services, banking deposits, media scanning deliveries and reprographic services. It was while working with Screaming Colour reprographics I first glimpsed the future in the form of a dedicated ISDN line sending gigabytes of data down wires cables. It occured to me that an office could be anywhere there were cables.
While later in Western Australia it was assay laboratory assistant, underground airleg miner, hydrodynamics technician (alright then - it was as pump boy) then from field technician in open pit gold mining to exploration geologists assistant on what later became the Cawse Nicket Project.
I returned to New Zealand and wrote about many of my experiences which were subsequently published in newspapers and magazines, I was then employed to write the cover stories for a new tabloid sized rural newspaper distributed to the top of the South Island and the West Coast.
So how on earth did I become a website designer you ask? Well I've always been creative artistically and theatrically and then later as a writer which led to a desire to extend my reach to editors wherever in the world they may be. The internet was an obvious answer.
As fate would have it I met a friend who I'd couriered with in London who had taught himself HTML and was working on the Telecom business website. I said, "If you can do that I can do that, please tell me how to do it." He kindly installed some computer programmes for me, gave me the 'Hello world!' lesson, pointed me to web development tutorial websites and provided a very convenient 0800 number that went to his mobile phone. An on call mentor.
Today I live mainly in Italy with my young family, Frida (9 years) and Dylan (4 years) and their remarkable mother Stefania.

From Le Domain take HW 117 north. In about 45km there is a gravel road going to the right. There are following signs at the road beginning: Chemin 29 est, Camachigama, Barrage de Barriere and Peer Horn Lodge 29km.. The road is quite bumpy as all logging roads are in the area. After a 10 min. drive there is a fork, where a road to the left is road #292. Take #292. 75km. later, at the road sign 194km, there is a road going to the right. In less than 1km. the road will bring you to the bridge at the Island Chutes (I called them like that myself. There was no name on the map). Through clearing in the forest at your left just before the bridge, you will see an excellent campsite on high sandy bank overlooking the river at the take out point (the old map says: old forest camp). You can park your cars around there. On your way to the take out, you cross three rivers/streams on your way. The first - with a rapid under the bridge; the second - a creek, and the third - quite a big river (it might be Capitachouane, as we had to cross it somewhere, but I am not sure). The bridge over Capitachouane is another possible take out.
To get to the put in at Lac Peronne, head back to the road #292 and turn right, driving in the same direction as you did before. Almost immediately (~ 1.5km) road #292 joins Chemin Chimo. Turn right and drive 60km. more to the bridge at Lac Peronne. Its quite a big lake, and its the first big lake you will see on your right hand. You will see a bush cottage just off the road to the right just before the bridge. Right after the bridge, turn right to the put in, which is just a hundred meters away at the end of a portage. I have to say that there is actually no campsite at the put in. Its just a place where vehicles used to turn around. However, if after the bridge you turn left, the place there (beginning of the portage) is a little better, but you will have to carry all you gear to the put in later on.
We departed from Toronto at 5:40 AM, because our shuttle was scheduled at 2 PM, and we didnt want to be late. There were eight people with four double kayaks in our party. We made three short stops on our way and arrived to Le Domaine at 1:50 PM. At 2:40 PM we left Le Domaine and drove behind the parks van to the put in (stopping at the take out to live our cars). At the take out we were at 4:40. We left our cars there and got shuttled to the put in, where we arrived at 5:50PM.
Logging roads in and around la Verendrye are a special story. They get altered so often, that all maps showing them became inaccurate very quickly. Always check roads you need with the park office before you start driving on them. Parks staff always keeps the most recent version of the logging road map on a wall at the office in Le Domain.
An overnight rain stopped about 8AM. Mix of sun and cloud. Cool. This day we left our campsite very late-the first loading to a kayak always takes more time. Gear loading into a kayak has to be quite sophisticated if you want to be able to load and unload relatively quickly - a drawback of all kayaks. This time we tried a new system of self-designed and self-made dry bags that we attached to the top of our kayak (you can see the bags on the pictures). It worked very well. We were able to take more gear, and to load/unload very fast.
We had our lunch at the marked group campsite at the narrow point on Lac Moore. Lots of space for tents, but there is a large cabin belonging to a hunting club. Weve seen no people around though.
We left the point at 5PM. About 7km. downstream comes the first serious set of the rapids at the rivers elbow. It consists of 6 rapids (CI, CII, CV, CII+,CII and CII+) and is about 1.5km long. The campsite we planned to take was the next available site after the group campsite on Lac Moore - at the end of the set. There is a portage marked on the old map (river right) around the whole set, which is 1,2km long. It starts in a bay just before the beginning of the set. We didnt check it out, but the map shows that for 2/3 of the total length it uses an old logging road. If the water is low, I would recommend taking the portage.(if you dont like to drag your canoe over the boulders in the stream.) Please note that there are no portages around individual rapids in the set.
Another overnight rain stopped right before dawn, and a crisp and warm sunny day was our award for yesterdays extreme. Rapid #5 (CII), and #6(CII+) from the yesterdays set were waiting us ahead. CII was too shallow to run, and we lined this long rapid along the right shore. It ends just before a destroyed bridge. Here, at the right, is the take out for the portage around CII+ under the bridge. A decent group campsite is located here, where an old logging road (end yesterdays 1,2km portage) ends. CII+ was runable except the last shallow drop around a big boulder at the right shore. We run the first part, stopped and lined around the boulder.
A 2.5km long section of flat water begins after this rapid. The river is quite wide here and sometimes resembles a long lake. Hills around the river are getting steeper and stand closer to the water, promising more rapids. Four of the rapids ranging from CI to CII follow soon. We run all of them. A couple of times we had to stop at the end of a rapid to drag kayaks over shallows. (As we figured out later, this was the usual pattern for many rapids in the first part of the route: they started runable, but became very shallow at the end.) Almost immediately after the last CI comes a 10ft. waterfall. The old map shows portages around the falls on either shore. We chose the right one. A take out is located almost at the falls lip. Caution! Fast current! An easy 30m portage brings to a pool below falls. We had lunch at this beautiful spot.
A campsite! On the RIGHT shore! We were so glad to find it! It was just in time! It was a cozy campsite under the shelter of spruces with places for three tents. So, make a note that a campsite here is on the right shore just before the next CII. A good portage trail for the next CII started here too. It looked that someone cleared the trail recently.
The day was sunny and warm. The first part of CII, which starts almost at the campsite, was lined. We run the second part stopping at the shallow end, and dragging kayaks over shallows to the deep water.
The next CII was run (CBR). The rapid was about 200m long. (Actually, most of the rapids on the route were quite long ranging from 200 to 800 meters.) Four more rapids follow soon one after another: A simple CI was hardly noticed; CII was run after a check from the shore. The third one was a short but interesting technical CII, which we successfully run along the right shore (CBR). The fourth one (CII) begins with a section of swift water followed by a short distance of flat water and the rapid itself. There is a very nice campsite for 2 tents just between the section of swift water and the rapid. The rapid was run (CBR). There is a small grassy island right after the rapid. We decided to spend some time fishing here and caught three pikes and a pickerel within 20 minutes.
A campsite that had to be at the rivers elbow 3 km of flat water downstream wasnt found. A first CII after the elbow looked more like a simple CI, and was run without stopping. After this rapid, the river flows in a narrow channel along a beautiful steep rocky wall on the left shore. We had our lunch here.
The next CII had a strong current with many rocks in the flow. We managed to run it successfully, but had to maneuver like crazy. Another CII follows soon. It was run without a check. After this rapid, there are only several sections of swift water before the sharp drop of the only CIII on the route. The drop was very powerful and short with a calm pool below. It looked a little scary at first, but after a careful check, we figured out that it was clear of any boulders, and we had to deal only with the big volume. Everyone run it successfully, enjoying the fast ride. It was the only CIII on the route. It marked the end of the toughest part of the route. The next rapid will come only about 20km downstream. We took an excellent group campsite at the point on Lac Vimy 4km downstream from the CIII.
We spent all the day at the campsite on Lac Vimy. We were fishing, swimming at the excellent sandy beach right at the point, tanning, eating blueberries and enjoying an exceptionally bright sunny day. This campsite is definitely the best on the route.
You can see, we are not very sporty on our paddling routes. Because our main summer trip is usually the only long vacation we take, we try to get the most from it. So, we usually prefer to spend a couple of more days on a route to allow for our lazy pace and for an extra day for camping, wandering around in the bush, fishing etc. Therefore, number of days we spent on the route, can be divided by 1.5 or 2 to get it right for hard paddling lovers.
There is another marked group campsite just across the bay from the site we were camping on last night. We could see from the water that it is there, and it is probably big, as it is located at the end of a bush road at the edge of the bush. There was evidence that the site is used as a launching spot for boats. In about a mile from here, there is a cabin on the right shore where river flows out of Lac Moore. River here is shallow with sandy bottom, patches of grass and some boulders in the flow. Current is light, but noticeable.
A nice group campsite with a sandy beach comes 0,5km before the bridge at Baie Du Portage (another possible take out). We stopped here to eat blueberries. They were in such abundance, that we couldnt believe our eyes. Another site is located just at the bridge. We didnt check it out, but there is a lot of space beside the road.
proposed way to run the rapid. Different sections of the same rapid shown on this sketch are rated differently. There is even a spot at the middle of the rapid, marked CIII. At our water levels the rapid was shallow and very technical. Overall, I wouldnt rate the whole set more than CII+ at that time. Nevertheless, it was interesting. We run it successfully. There is an overgrown campsite for two tents on the right shore. The site isnt good, and we were glad that we spent a lay over day at Lac Moore instead of camping here as we planned before. We had a lunch here.
After the rapid, the river flows in swampy terrain forming meanders. The group campsite shown on the left shore in 3km downstream doesnt exist any more. The next one, for two tents, marked on the left shore, is overgrown (if it was there at all). Its just an open spot at the sandy point, covered with high grass. The next marked campsite, on the left shore again, wasnt found too. After that point, we started to look for a place that could become a campsite for us. Finally, we decided to camp on a sandy point where the next campsite (one tent) was shown. We pitched our tents on sand, and it turned out to be not that bad. At least, we had a good sandy beach right beside.
The next rapid marked CII, turned out to be more like CI or even less. The next one is a long rapid marked CI at the abandoned road. There are two mistakes on the old map: its 350m instead of 700, and it was CII+, definitely not CI. May be its just due to low water, but I doubt that there can be such a big difference. There is a decent 500m portage trail that goes over a hill at the right shore. The trail passes through a nice group campsite. The drawback is that the site is located high above the water (where the old road ends). The rapid was very technical and probably the most difficult on the route due to precise maneuvering required. CBR! Three kayaks run it successfully, but one finished upside down. The problem was a big rock at the end of the run, which blocks the way.
It was the last rapid in our trip. No rapids till the Island Chutes. We paddled right to the site at the Chutes where our cars were parked. We were on the site at 6 PM.
As we had one more day before we had to return home, we decided to spend it at this campsite. The day was sunny and warm, and we spent it swimming, fishing, and picking blueberries for home (I filled up a 2.5-gallon container in two hours alone!). The fishing was good at the bottom of the Chutes.
We did this trip in late August, 2002. We used a very old La Verendrye`s map and topo maps. This combination turned out to be sufficient. The park`s map was given to us without a charge as they believe that money shouldn`t be taken for such an old info. It was helpful, but inaccurate in some places. If you cannot get the old map from the park`s office any more, make sure to mark rapids and campsites on your topo at Le Domaine. Campsites are scarce, many are overgrown, and some are hard to find. So, be prepared.
Capitachouane is a beautiful river with clean water, picturesque hills and rocks, and many rapids. Most of the rapids on the river are in the section we did (27 rapids in total). Most of them are CII-CII+ and can be run if there is enough water. Due to low water levels at the time we paddled the river, all the rapids were technical, requiring precise maneuvering. In its upper portion, the river flows through a hilly and rocky terrain. Banks change to swampy, and terrain changes to relatively flat after 70-th km.
You can feel remoteness, but there are some hunting cabins on the route (they were empty at that period of time though) plus a couple of bush cottages on two lakes. We have seen only a couple of fishermen on Lac Peronne, no people further. By the way, fishing was exceptional. (northern pike and pickerel).
Water was low, and there was no indication that the river gets very high at spring - the highest watermarks were about 1.5 ft. above water. Although we had to line our kayaks several times and hit rocks in many shallow rapids, it wasn`t a big problem for our kayaks` tough plastic. In return we had almost no bugs and ENORMOUS amounts of blueberries. I haven`t seen such abundance in my whole life.
We used a shuttle service from La Verendrye, but you can also do the shuttle yourself, as put in is mere 60km away from take out. You don`t have to pay for camping permits for this route, because this part of the river is located outside of La Verendrye`s borders. We paid the fees at first, but got a refund on our way back! If you continue past Island Chutes, pay only for the time you actually are inside the park.

The House reconvened on Monday, March 14 for day 36 of the 2016 legislative session and an extremely busy week, as sine die (the 40th and final day of the 2016 session) is just days away. We had a busy legislative agenda this week, both on the House floor and in committee meetings as we continued to review, study and vote on legislation. With day 40 right around the corner, many more House and Senate bills received final passage this week and are now on their way to Governor Deal’s desk for consideration.
In my short time as your State Representative, it seems that each year there is a singularly important and perhaps historic legislation that dominates the General Assembly session. During 2015, it was the Transportation Funding Act of 2015 with its record-setting $900 million tax increase. This year, it was debate about how to best protect the religious liberty of all Georgians, regardless of faith or lack thereof. This discussion has been on-going in Georgia for many years.
Proponents and supporters of religious liberty legislation cite the need to protect individuals, businesses, pastors and others from being forced to participate in activities that are in opposition to their closely and deeply held religious beliefs. Sadly, the need for religious liberty protection is clearly founded in the actions of those, particularly from the LGBTQA+ community, who would seek to force businesses, such as florists and bakeries, to sell flowers or to bake cakes for gay wedding ceremonies and when they refuse, these businesses have been forced out of business.
Pastors are being forced to take a legal and theological stand in opposition to performing gay wedding ceremonies because doing so is a direct contradiction to their biblical and religious beliefs, and when they refuse there are those who then take legal action against the pastors. There certainly are churches and denominations who accept and willingly perform gay weddings. This is their right to do so. The problem is when those who believe in gay wedding ceremonies try to legally force their beliefs upon those who disagree.
There are strong forces in the business community who say that Georgia, by its passage of this act is demonstrating blatant discrimination against others who disagree with their religious beliefs. This argument is patently false.
In the 30 states that have passed Religious Freedom and Restoration Act (RFRA) there has not been one single case of proven discrimination as a result of RFRA’s passage. The argument otherwise is simply untrue.
This is why passage of the Free Exercise Protection Act is important for all Georgians – to protect every citizen of Georgia in the exercise of their religious beliefs. And this is why I enthusiastically supported the passage of the Free Exercise Protection Act.
For more details on this historic legislation please click here.
Now, all that is needed is for Governor Deal to sign this historic legislation into law. You may show your support by contacting the Governor's office at 404-656-1776.
Recently I announced that House Bill 219, legislation I sponsored regarding public and private pools, received final passage in the State Senate. HB 219 will now to go Governor Deal for consideration.
I am pleased that the General Assembly recognized the importance of clarifying private property rights regarding swimming pools and for strengthening the safety of private pools in condos, townhouses and other private pools that serve a small number of property owners.
HB 219 clarifies and redefines public versus private property pools for purposes of health and safety, and the legislation I drafted was in response to a problem with unreasonable inspections of private pools in Glynn County. The bill also strengthens the basic standards and minimum safety requirements for private pools by establishing a list of five key safety items that must pass an annual inspection: compliance with federal law regarding suction outlet covers; availability of lifesaving and rescue equipment; security of access to common pool areas; water quality; and safety of electrical systems.
The bill makes no changes to health and safety rules governing apartment complex pools, or private residence pools, nor does the bill change any existing pool construction codes for the State of Georgia.
The passage of HB 219 is the result of two years of negotiations and discussions with the Georgia Department of Health, the Georgia Realtors Association, the Georgia Apartment Association and the Georgia Association of Pool and Spa Professionals. A special thanks to Jimmy Pruett, Chairman of the House State Planning & Community Affairs Committee, who helped to resolve concerns of the Department of Public Health and see this bill through the legislative process.
This week, the House unanimously passed Senate Bill 364, the “Quality Based Education Act,” to revise annual performance evaluations for public school teachers and state mandated testing. SB 364 revises evaluations so that student growth would account for 30 percent of a teacher’s evaluation, down from the current 50 percent. Additionally, professional growth would account for 20 percent, and the test component of teacher evaluations is lowered from 70 percent to 40 percent. The bill would also reduce the number of state mandated tests from 32 to 24 for students in grades K-12 by removing social studies and science milestone tests in grades 3, 4, 6, and 7. SB 364 would also ask local school systems to move all testing as close to the end of the school year as possible to ensure the students have received maximum exposure to the material prior to testing. SB 364 also adds formative testing in 1st and 2nd grades to measure progress and early learning to guarantee that all students are proficient in reading by 3rd grade and proficient in math by 5th grade. The bill is the result of multiple meetings with teachers, administrators, parents, and advocacy groups from across the state who gave input and opinions on what should be revised in the current evaluation and testing systems.
This legislation will give our teachers more freedom to teach Georgia’s students and will take the burden off both students and teachers. Our teachers greatly influence the youth in our state, and as such, we want to provide them with the resources to have the best opportunity to succeed in the classroom so that our students have the best opportunity to succeed in the future.
Another bill that received unanimous passage in the House this week was Senate Bill 402, legislation that would place a moratorium on new applications for licensure of narcotic treatment programs and create a commission to study the current licensure requirements in Georgia. While current license holders would be eligible to renew their license during the moratorium, SB 402 would put a temporary freeze on issuing new narcotic treatment facility licenses through June 30, 2017. During this time, the State Commission on Narcotic Treatment Programs, established under this bill, would study the need for any changes to the licensure requirements for these programs to ensure the safety of Georgia’s citizens. The commission would be tasked with examining the current narcotic treatment program licensure requirements for adequacy; assessing how the current licensure requirements and enforcement of the requirements provide adequate medical, counseling, vocational, educational, mental health assessment, and social services to patients enrolled in these programs and how these programs can be assessed for achieving recovery; determining if the geographic service areas are reasonable and balanced between population density and service proximity; determining the cause and effect of hospital admittance for overdose and incidents of suicide, if any, in relation to the adequate licensure and oversight of these programs; and hearing expert testimony on the effectiveness of nonnarcotic, medically assisted treatments for narcotic dependence and determining what legislative changes, if any, need to be made to address the commission’s findings.
The commission would be comprised of three members from both the House and the Senate, appointed by the Speaker of the House and the Lieutenant Governor, and five members appointed by the Governor, including the commissioner of the Department of Community Health and the commissioner of the Department of Behavioral Health and Developmental Disabilities. Georgia ranks third in the nation for the highest number of narcotic treatment clinics with 62 clinics, despite the fact that we are eighth in total population. I am hopeful that this legislation will provide a solution to the increasing number of drug abuse and overdoses we see each year and ultimately save lives. There is a vital need for these treatment centers, but we must also get to the root of the issue and find out why there are so many of these facilities in Georgia.
We also passed Senate Bill 350 and Senate Resolution 558 this week, which would allocate tax revenue from firework sales in our state to Georgia trauma centers, fire services, and local public safety purposes. SB 350 would allocate 55 percent of the excise tax revenues from all fireworks sales in Georgia to the Georgia Trauma Care Network Commission, which was created in 2007 to maintain a trauma center network, coordinate existing trauma facilities and direct patients to the best available facility for their needs. Additionally, 40 percent of the excise tax revenues collected from firework sales would go to the Georgia Firefighter Standards and Training Commission, which provides certification standards for all firefighters, fire inspectors, fire investigators and fire and life safety educators. The funds would be used to implement a grant program to improve the equipping and training of firefighters and the rating of fire departments by the Insurance Services Office.
Finally, five percent of the tax revenues would go to local governments to be used for public safety purposes and the operation of 9-1-1 systems. Senate Resolution 558 is the companion legislation to SB 350 and would amend the Georgia Constitution in order to allocate the excise tax funds, if approved by voter referendum on the November ballot. During the 2015 legislative session, the General Assembly passed legislation allowing the commercial sale and use of fireworks in Georgia. Should these measures receive final passage through the General Assembly and passage from Georgia voters in November, we would be able to provide a beneficial and much needed funding to the trauma, fire, and local government networks in our state by granting them the flexibility to improve and continue providing exceptional service to all Georgians.
The House also passed a measure this week to toughen the penalties for criminals who commit domestic violence in Georgia. Senate Bill 193 would make it a felony if a person commits family violence and has a previous conviction for family violence battery in Georgia, or in any other state. Prosecutors would be able to issue repeat family violence offenders a felony instead of another misdemeanor, closing a loophole that previously allowed some offenders to receive misdemeanor charges upon their second family battery conviction. The bill would also make the crime punishable by one to five years in prison. This legislation would strengthen our judicial system and punish violent, serial criminals, while also protecting those who they seek to harm.
Unfortunately the Senate did not pass the Georgia Space Flight Act but instead placed the issue into a space bill study committee. According to Rep. Jason Spencer (D180-Woodbine), the Senate’s decision to move the bill into a study committee was based on issues and jurisdiction that are not under state control.
HB734, the Georgia Space Flight Act, passed the House with overwhelming support (I voted YES). After the bill moved into the Senate, the Senate Science & Technology committee decided to place the bill into a Senate study committee after spending approximately 90 minutes discussing the legislation. The Senate’s primary focus was on the Federal Aviation Administration’s launch licensing process and applicable federal regulations as well as county zoning issues should the launch site be approved by the FAA, all of which are not under the control of the State of Georgia. Rep. Spencer pledges to bring the legislation before the General Assembly in 2017.
This week we passed another bill to keep Georgians safe in Senate Bill 367, a comprehensive update to Georgia’s criminal justice reform legislation. SB 367 would expand Georgia’s accountability courts to include “operating under the influence” court divisions as an alternative to the traditional justice system with the ultimate goal of reducing recidivism rates. Any court with jurisdiction over DUI or boating under the influence cases would be able to create a division of their courts to handle those cases. Similarly, any juvenile court would be able to create a “family treatment” court division to address issues within families through court intervention and the reduction of dependency. The goal of a family treatment court would be to reduce alcohol or drug abuse and addiction in child dependency proceedings; improve outcomes for families when dependency is based on alcohol or drug use and addiction; increase the personal, familial and societal accountability of defendants in child dependency proceedings; and promote effective intervention and use of resources among child welfare personnel, law enforcement, treatment providers, community agencies, and the courts. SB 367 would also allow the Department of Corrections and the Department of Juvenile Justice to operate charter schools within state juvenile justice facilities under the control of the State Charter School Commission to allow children who are incarcerated to continue to receive an education.
Furthermore, individuals who have a suspended license as a result of a criminal conviction would be able to receive their license sooner under SB 367 by allowing time spent in prison to count toward license suspension time. The bill would also add court-mandated activities such as attending programs, treatment, and accountability court to the list of limited driving exemptions for drivers with limited driving permits. SB 367 would change the Georgia First Offender Statute to allow courts to set a date at when a defendant would be exonerated of guilt and have their criminal record restricted as long as the defendant successfully complies with the sentence and does not receive future convictions. The bill also updates probation stipulations if an individual fails to pay a fine or report to their probation officer and will now include a scheduled hearing in court. The legislation would also let inmates who have served sentences for certain drug-related offenses or repeat offenders of non-violent felonies be eligible for parole if they had no convictions for violent felonies; completed at least six years of their total sentence; were considered a low risk for recidivism; earned a high school diploma; and had no serious disciplinary violations in the past 12 months in jail. Those convicted of felony drug convictions would now be allowed to apply for Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) benefits upon their release to help ease the transition to re-entry. Finally, the bill would prohibit professional licensing boards from refusing to license an individual because of an arrest or conviction of a felony unless it directly related to the occupation they were attempting to be licensed. Legislative efforts over the past several years have made Georgia a national leader in criminal justice reform, and the modifications in SB 367 are a further example of how we can continue to be smart on crime, keep the citizens of Georgia safe, and help those who re-enter to become productive members of society. Providing alternatives to incarceration in the form of education and treatment not only allow our non-violent offenders to have a second chance at life, but will decrease recidivism rates. These efforts serve to make Georgia a safer place for all of our citizens, and I am proud of this body and the work we have done to offer those protections to our state.
SB 206, by Sen. William T. Ligon, Jr. (R-Brunswick), revises provisions relating to the prohibition of a water supplier's option to disconnect water service to premises because of the indebtedness of a prior owner, occupant, or lessee. The bill provides a procedure to obtain information regarding moneys owed for water supplied to certain real property under certain circumstances. SB 206 exempts any property from the refusal to supply water because of the indebtedness of the prior occupant. A new section is added to current law setting forth that any property owner or tenant, person executing a contract for the purchase or occupancy of property, attorney closing a real estate transaction, or lender considering the loan of funds to be secured by real property shall have the right to request a statement from the water supplier setting forth the amount of any outstanding water charges along with any late fees with interest. Rep. Alex Atwood (R-St. Simons Island) spoke in support of the bill. He indicated that ACCG, GMA, the Georgia Realtors Association, and others are in support of this legislation. There was one amendment, but it was withdrawn.
SR 730, by Sen. William T. Ligon, Jr. (R-Brunswick), encourages the Coastal Regional Commission to create a comprehensive plan for and oversee the implementation of the Coastal Georgia Greenway and to create and file an annual report with the General Assembly detailing its progress. I presented this bill before the House where it passed with a vote of 149-18.
SB 263, by Sen. Bruce Thompson (R-White), allows for the governing authority of each municipality and county in this state, as well as each board of education, which employs sworn police officer who are POST certified to adopt policies under which officers may retain their weapon or badge upon retirement or leaving employment as a result of a disability arising in the line of duty. It passed the House today with a vote of 123-46.
SR 876, by Sen. Steve Gooch (R-Dahlonega), was carried in the House by Rep. Kevin Tanner (R-Dawsonville). It seeks to establish a Joint High-Speed Broadband Communications Access for All Georgians Study Committee. No changes were made in the House Special Rules Committee where this Resolution had been assigned. This resolution passed 166-0.
This week, we also had a special guest stop by the House. On Monday, we were honored to have Atlanta Braves legend Henry “Hank” Aaron and his wife Billye join us on the House floor, where we recognized the couple for their work in the community. Hank Aaron played 21 seasons with the Milwaukee/Atlanta Braves and completed his career with two seasons with the Milwaukee Brewers. During his 23 year career, Aaron was an MLB All-Star for 21 seasons, still holding many records for most All-Star selections, a three-time Golden Glove right fielder, and the 1957 National League Most Valuable Player. Despite receiving many awards throughout his long career, Aaron is probably best remembered for his 715th homerun on April 8, 1974 which broke the previous home run record held by Babe Ruth. Since his retirement from baseball, Hank and Billye Aaron have been very active in their community, working with the Andrew Young Foundation and the Morehouse School of Medicine to advance the education of African-American citizens. Their commitment to the community is inspiring, and it was an honor to meet such a legendary couple.
Next week will be the final week of the 2016 legislative session. On Thursday, March 24 we will convene one final time this session for legislative day 40, or “sine die,” the last day we have to pass any legislation this year. While the end is near, there is still work to be done and many issues to be considered, and your input on these issues is very important to me. My colleagues and I will work long hours every day next week to ensure that we are doing what is best for Georgia and its citizens. If you are following legislation that you would like to see passed, or if you have any questions about the bills that the General Assembly has considered this session, please do not hesitate to reach out to me. Your input will help guide my decisions during this crucial time, and I appreciate all of your feedback. You can reach me at my Capitol office at (404) 656-0126 or by email at Jeff.Jones@house.ga.gov.
As always, thank you for allowing be to be your representative.

Harem Scarem are back with a new CD, and what a CD it is in the end. This is by far their best outing since Mood Swings. It seems the band is firing on all cylinders and producing a stellar AOR album. There is not a stinker on here, not one. While only 10 tracks, when they are this good, the listener is satisfied. This stuff is catchy after the first listen, with choruses that you sing the second time in the song. The melodic masterpieces sound familiar yet new. Higher rivals such AOR classics as After the Rain by Nelson, for instant accessibility. I would even be willing to go out on a limb and say this CD is better than Mood Swings.
There are no stinkers on here like the abysmal 'No Justice'. Harem Scarem have firmly laid down the gauntlet as the premier AOR act at the moment. Can anyone else rise to the challenge? There is only one word for this CD: essential.
