Today's News: Our Take - Survivor: Which Player May Have Thrown a Challenge?
As the two tribes prepared for the upcoming merge on Survivor, Wednesday's episode was all about alliances. The hour opened with a little bit of handwringing at the Bikal tribe over Matt's elimination last week.
"Tribal Council sucked," Michael admitted. "Matt's been my boy since Day One and now I'm totally on my own."
Not totally, though. Corinne, of course, was intent on saving Michael (her Gay). Phillip, on the other hand, was gunning for Corinne - until Cochran convinced him that it would be a bad move to eliminate one of the "Core Six" before the merge, since it would call into question their loyalty with the other Favorites.
Fall TV Scorecard: What's renewed? What's canceled?
With Tree Mail indicating that the episode's first challenge would rely on strength, everyone in the Bikal camp was understandably worried. ("Tree Mail says you have to be strong in the challenge," Corinne noted. "We're all looking around like, 'That sucks.'") Except for Phillip, that is, who asserted that his upper body strength could single-handedly win the challenge for the team and challenged Cochran to an arm wrestle. "I may be old, but I still have game," Phillip promised.
He may have spoken too soon. Phillip singlehandedly lost the reward challenge, which involved the tribes chasing each other in the water while carrying bags of sand. First, he instructed the team to walk rather than running ("The girls will tire"). Then, as the Gota tribe gained on them, Phillip finally admitted that he was unable to run with the sandbag and promptly fell down in the water.
Though Gota won handily, the loss did result in this gem of a quote from Dawn about the prize of a coffee, pastry and cookie bar on a nearby island: "They're gonna get sick. It's not a big deal. That's a diarrhea fest." Kudos for finding a silver lining, Dawn!
Digestive issues aside, the coffee bar proved to be a great bonding experience for Gota. As Andrea noted, it was the first time the Fans had ever won a reward challenge, and Eddie, Reynold and Sherri made the most of it. "I want to get as close to them as possible before, you know, I vote them out," Andrea admitted frankly.
Returning Spring Shows: Where we left off with Game of Thrones and more
Their newfound closeness also prompted Malcolm to team up with the other three "alpha males" - Reynold, Eddie and Erik - ahead of the merge. Knowing that they would be the first targets of a single tribe, the four decided to form an alliance. Reynold immediately told Malcolm that he had the immunity idol, but Malcolm, who has the other one, wisely didn't reciprocate. "In a game where you cannot trust anybody ... you have to rely on your instincts," Reynold said. "This will be the one that is the nail in the coffin for me if I'm wrong."
Meanwhile, over at Bikal, Cochran was getting frustrated with Phillip's arrogance, but even more so with the rivalry between Phillip and Corinne. "There's so much fracture and division within the Favorites in this tribe, it's like a death sentence," he said. But he still planned to cast his vote for Julia, with this amaznig explanation: "Julia is such a nonentity out here. I'm tempted to say that she has like a vanilla personality, but I feel like that would be doing a great disservice to the flavor vanilla. I mean, people actively seek out vanilla-flavored products. Children clamor to get a vanilla ice cream cone. Nobody's clamoring for anything Julia-flavored, except for Phillip."
Phillip, once again, was clamoring to form an alliance with Julia and recruiting her to be a "double agent." He briefly succeeded, but Julia quickly fell out of his favor by telling Dawn that she felt "a bit bullied" by Phillip, while knowing it may be in her best interest to align with him. Dawn, noting that Julia "wasn't seeming very aware of the game," obviously took this new information straight to Phillip, who responded (of Julia): "She's an idiot. I specifically told her not to say that to anyone." So much for their alliance.
Spring TV Preview: Must-see new shows
After another strength-based immunity challenge, Gota won again - but not without a strong effort this time from Bikal. But, back at the camp, Phillip confessed to Cochran that he had intentionally thrown the challenge by failing to accurately throw grappling hooks to retrieve keys from the sand.
"It's complete crap," said Cochran, who was shown barely suppressing a smile as Phillip compared himself to a male lion killing his cubs. "You can't make up this level of delusion, and that's what excites me about playing with Phillip. I think he's actually at this point convinced that he threw the challenge."
Regardless, the Favorites were torn about their strategy heading into Tribal Council. Phillip, Cochran and Dawn wanted to split the vote between Michael and Julia to flush out any immunity idols and then vote Julia out on the re-vote, but Corinne wanted to vote Julia out at the start in order to make Michael feel more comfortable. ("I think it's neat that he's gay," she told Jeff Probst at Tribal Council.)
Celebrity Couples: Can you believe they dated?!
The former strategy won out, with the team splitting the vote between Michael and Julia and then ultimately snuffing out Julia's torch.
Do you think the tribe made the right decision in sending Julia home? Was Phillip being honest about throwing the challenge? And are you looking forward to next week's merge? Weigh in below!

Using aeroponics—the same technology NASA uses—Tower Garden grows plants with only water and nutrients rather than dirt. Research has found aeroponic systems grow plants three times faster and produce 30% greater yields on average. That means you'll be enjoying abundant, nutritious harvests just weeks after planting.
Pests, disease, weeds—traditional gardening can be complicated and time-consuming. But because Tower Garden automatically delivers water and nutrients when they're most needed, you're able to grow strong, healthy plants with minimal effort. And healthy plants can better protect themselves from pests and diseases naturally, without pesticides. Plus, you don't have to deal with weeds (or getting dirty) because there's no soil.
Want a garden but don't have the space? Dealing with drought? Because of its vertical, compact design and closed-loop system technology, Tower Garden requires as little as 10% of the land and water traditional growing methods use. So it's perfect for sunny small spaces, such as balconies, patios, rooftops—even your kitchen provided you use grow lights. And it's better for the environment, too.
"I have harvested [so] much lettuce and parsley that I donate to the meals-on-wheels program in town"
"We enjoyed cucumbers all season, giving away many to friends and neighbors"
"Our Tower Garden thrives—even in the brutal Texas summers! It is growing like
crazy…and it's so easy to maintain."
Have a hungry clan to feed? With a Family Garden, you can grow up to 84 plants at once — and put more wholesome produce on the dinner table.
An integrated growing system of 12 Tower Gardens, the Community Garden is perfect for schools, restaurants, nonprofits, and other community applications.
With Tower Farms, forward-thinking farmers make a living while making a difference. Are you ready to grow a greater future (and a healthy profit)?

The results of this experiment do not surprise me in the least. I'd have listened, at least for a little while, but I'm weird that way. I still feel like I have some of the attitudes of a child, despite being 24 years old. (I also suspect that my mother would agree.) The last time I was in New York, I stopped to listen to a street musician playing pan pipes along with a recording of other instruments.
Anyway, many people don't find classical music particularly appealing; I suspect that the average person walking through that subway wouldn't be able to tell the difference between Josh Bell and a random university violin student. You might get a bigger reaction from a performer of more popular music; I wonder what would happen if you gave Eric Clapton a guitar and a disguise, and set him up in a subway?

There is a great response to the Joshua Bell article by a NYC subway musician in her blog
She interprets the situation differently from the Washington Post reporters… I thought you might find it interesting.
April 9, 2007 at 3:25 pm
Here's what I posted on another blog:
I disagree with the analogy with taking "one of our more abstract masterpieces, say an Ellsworth Kelly", and removing the frame. The fact is that people appreciate the classics — Bach, Rembrandt — and they don't appreciate modern art (what is that Kelly thing supposed to mean?) or music (Schoenberg sounds like noise to most people).
I'm pretty sure that commuters in Europe, and indeed in New York, would stop to listen to an expert performance of Bach's Chaconne. I have seen appreciative crowds in Paris gather for much less inspired metro-station music. They would also stop to admire a Rembrandt or Monet (though they may assume it's a well-executed copy). This experiment says more about Washington DC than about human psychology.
In fact, I wouldn't be surprised if, in some European cities, they also gathered to hear an expertly-played Schoenberg.. but the Kelly is a different matter. The picture linked above looks like a practical joke, which it probably was, like much modern art.
Gary – the link to the NYC subway musician's blog seems broken.

Did a post on this yesterday after reading the article in the Post. And then came upon your post this morning and smiled a little after seeing that we sort of quoted the same sections from the article. Looks like some parts struck a chord in everyone.
As for the situational thing goes I'm not sure if it were entirely true. I mean yes about the painting it may happen to me since I don't really understand a great deal about true art and masterpieces. But then I don't understand classical music that much either. Yet the first time I heard Josh Bell I was awestruck. You don't really have to understand classical music or be familiar with the pieces to know that this is sheer genius. It doesn't matter if it is Josh bell in person or not. Good music needs to be appreciated. And there is no excuse for not stopping or listening because you have something more pressing at that moment.
@ rahul This experiment says more about Washington DC than about human psychology.
and you're saying people in DC have less time to appreciate the finer aspects of life and Bell would have had a crowd someplace else?

What is an SR-22 Insurance ?
SR-22 is not an actual insurance policy as commonly misconceived. SR-22 is a filing, or an add-on, that is added to a personal automobile liability insurance policy. Not all insurance carriers offer SR-22 filing. An SR-22 is a certificate of financial responsibility required for some drivers by their state or court order. This form serves as proof your auto insurance policy meets the minimum liability coverage required by state law.
Coral Springs DMV requires an SR-22 from a driver to reinstate his or her driving privileges following an uninsured car accident or conviction of another traffic-related offense, such as a DUI.

Types Of Sr22 Insurance
As for the type of SR22 you need to obtain in Coral Springs, FL, there are three different options, all of which depend on your vehicle ownership status.
Owner SR22 Insurance
An owner policy is required for anyone who owns the car they drive and holds insurance for that vehicle. The SR22 is proof that you own your vehicle, and that it's insured under your name. If lack of insurance was the reason you need a SR22, you'll first have to get car insurance before filing for the form.
Non-Owner SR22 Insurance
If you don't have a car, you may believe you shouldn't need a SR22. This is not the case. Even if you don't own a car, if you drive one you still must be insured. Fortunately, a non-owner SR22 is oftentimes less expensive than an owner certificate, as many states only require non-owners to carry liability insurance.
Owner/Operator SR22 Insurance
This certificate covers vehicles that are owned by the driver, and any others that they drive. This is important to have if you drive several cars, as you want to be sure that you're covered in any potential situation. The one downfall is that it's typically more expensive than the other options.

Why FoxyCart was Built to Integrate
Too many systems try to be all things to all people. We'd rather do one thing and do it well; and for us, that thing is ecommerce. FoxyCart is not a CMS. It's not a mailing list manager. It's not CRM or inventory management or affiliate tracking. There are plenty of great applications that do those things excellently. We'd rather put our energy into being the absolute best ecommerce platform there is, and make it easy for you to integrate with whatever other systems you already know and love.

Adobe Systems has released a patch for two Flash player vulnerabilities that are being actively exploited online to surreptitiously install malware, one in attacks that target users of Apple's Macintosh platform.
While Flash versions for OS X and Windows are the only ones reported to be under attack, Thursday's unscheduled release is available for Linux and Android devices as well. Users of all affected operating systems should install the update as soon as possible.
The Mac exploits target users of the Safari browser included in Apple's OS X, as well as those using Mozilla's Firefox. That vulnerability, cataloged as CVE-2013-0634, is also being used in exploits that trick Windows users into opening booby-trapped Microsoft Word documents that contain malicious Flash content, Adobe said in an advisory. Adobe credited members of the Shadowserver Foundation, Lockheed Martin's Computer Incident Response Team, and MITRE with discovery of the critical bug.
The other bug under attack, CVE-2013-0633, also works by tricking Windows users into opening a Word document containing malicious Flash content. It was discovered by researchers from antivirus provider Kaspersky Lab.
Adobe's advisory came the same day the company announced plans to provide new protections designed to make it harder to target Flash contained in Microsoft Office files. Effective in a Flash version to be released soon, users of Office 2008 and earlier will receive a prompt before documents will execute Flash content. The content will only run once users click an OK button. The "click-to-play" prompt won't apply to Office 2010, which already contains a "Protected Mode" sandbox that limits the privileges of content within a document.
Thursday's fix brings the latest version of Flash for Windows and OS X to v. 11.5.502.149. The latest Linux version is v. 220.127.116.112, and the most current Android versions are 188.8.131.52 for Android 4 and above and 22.214.171.124 for Android 3 and earlier. Updates are available here. Flash in Google Chrome and in Microsoft Internet Explorer 10 is automatically updated. To see what version of Flash your computer is running click here.
Story updated to change line below the headline. Adobe recommends administrators install Android and Linux updates at their discretion.

Everybody's favorite protest group, the People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals, is at it again – this time in defense of cockroaches. Specifically, PETA wants to stop the sale of the Backyard Brains' RoboRoach, a science education kit that enables kids to implant electrodes into a cockroach's brain and then control the beetle with a smartphone app. Backyard Brains argues that its product is not a toy, but an educational kit designed to teach people about biological systems. PETA says the kit is akin to practicing veterinary medicine without a license – a felony – and the organization has filed a complaint with Michigan's attorney general and state regulators. PETA isn't the only one that thinks mind-controlled insects are a little ethically iffy, of course. Some scientists consider the project problematic because it democratizes animal experimentation, not to mention the possible lingering effects it might have on the wellbeing of the roaches. One bioethicist even likened RoboRoach to one of the three
Unforgiveable Curses from Harry Potter
. 'We're not breaking any laws,' said Greg Gage, the co-founder
, told Time. 'These are roaches that people would easily kill in their apartments.' But that kind of logic isn't going to sway an organization like PETA. It has long advocated against killing cockroaches, even going so far as to recommend live-trapping and releasing the things. Not to mention, we're talking about the organization that has protested everything from Pokemon and Mario Bros. to calling sea creatures 'fish.' It even wants to accost hunters in the woods with its own fleet of drones. So yeah, I think it's pretty reasonable that it has a problem with kits that encourage kids to perform neurosurgery on small creatures. I'm not saying I agree with
, of course. Backyard Brains contends that the experiments have no lasting effect on the bugs and that dipping them in ice water anesthetizes them from pain. Personally, I think RoboRoach is a really interesting way to get people interested in science, which we need to do more of at all costs. And let's be honest, if little kids
is 'practicing veterinary medicine without a license,' pretty much every inquisitive child I know is guilty.

Was an easy process to follow. Gem certificate and valuation included.
I bought a tennis bracelet from Rosendorff for my wife. I am in Melbourne and bought through the internet as they had the best diamond quality compared to a lot of other jewellers.

I will only be buying from Rosendorff moving forward!!

The Portland Guardian of November 24, 1941 heralded the 100th birthday of Heywood, a small town about 25 kms north of Portland. The article remembered The Bell family and their contribution to Heywood's settlement. I recently introduced to you my family link to the Bells in a Trove Tuesday post – A Matter of Relativity about Amelia Harman. Amelia married Christopher Bell, a grandson of John and Elizabeth Bell.
John Bell and his wife Elizabeth Morrow, left Ireland in 1841 with eight children in tow, some were adults, and sailed to Australia aboard the "Catherine Jamison". Five months after their departure, the Bells had settled at Mount Eckersley, a few kilometres north of Heywood.
Great contributors to Western Victorian racing, the family were good friends with poet Adam Lindsay Gordon. William Bell was with Gordon when he made his mighty leap at Blue Lake, Mt. Gambier.
The Department of Primary Industries cites the height of Mt Eckersley as 450 feet (137 metres) but that didn't stop John Bell, at the age of 101, from climbing the volcano, only months before his death.
As a family known for longevity, twin sons Henry and James lived to 92 and 97 respectively. At one time they were Australia's oldest living twins.
All of this is well and good but is it all true? John's year of death is recorded as 1885, with his birth about 1787. That would have made him around 97/98, short of the 101 reported. Still, if he did climb Mt.Eckersley, to do it aged 97/98 was still a mean feat, but John may not have been a centenarian. The family notice in the Hamilton Spectator at the time of his death gives his age as 98.
There could also be a discrepancy with the year the Bells settled at Mt Eckersley. The Bells did arrive on the Catherine Jamieson on October 22, 1841 to Port Phillip. The newspaper article says they were in Heywood by November 1841. The Glenelg and Wannon Settlers site states John Bell settled at Mt Eckersly in 1843.
A further reminder to not always believe what you read in the papers.

CAIRO — Relatives and angry young men rampaged through the Egyptian city of Port Said on Saturday in assaults that killed at least 27 people following death sentences for local fans involved in the country"s worst bout of soccer violence.
Unrest surrounding the second anniversary of Egypt"s revolution also broke out in Cairo and other cities for a third day, with protesters clashing for hours with riot police who fired tear gas that encompassed swaths of the capital"s downtown.
The divisive verdict and bloodshed highlight challenges being faced by President Mohammed Morsi, who took office seven months ago following an Egyptian revolution that ousted autocratic leader Hosni Mubarak.
Critics say Morsi has failed to carry out promised reforms in the country"s judiciary and police force, and claim little has improved in the two years after the uprising against Mubarak.
The Islamist leader, Egypt"s first freely elected and civilian president, met for the first time with top generals as part of the newly formed National Defense Council to discuss the deployment of troops in two cities. The military was deployed to Port Said hours after the verdict was announced, and warned that a curfew could be declared in areas of unrest. The military was also deployed to the canal city of Suez, where protesters attacked the main security compound there after eight people were killed late Friday.
Saturday"s riot in Port Said stemmed from animosity between police and die-hard soccer fans know as Ultras, who also were part of the mass uprising against Mubarak that began on Jan. 25, 2011, and at forefront of protests against the military rulers who assumed temporary power after his ouster.
It also reflected tensions after the uprising that reached into all sectors of Egyptian life, even sports.
Survivors and witnesses said Mubarak loyalists had a hand in instigating last year"s attack, which began Feb. 1 after Port Said"s home team Al-Masry won a match, 3-1, against Cairo"s Al-Ahly. Some say "hired thugs" wearing green T-shirts posing as Al-Masry fans led the attacks.
Others say, at the very least, police were responsible for gross negligence in the Feb. 1 soccer brawl that killed 74 Al-Ahly fans.
Anger at police was evident in Port Said, home to most of the 73 men accused of involvement in the bloodshed, although the trial was held outside Cairo.
Judge Sobhi Abdel-Maguid did not give his reasoning when he handed down the sentences for 21 defendants. Executions in Egypt are usually carried out by hanging.
Verdicts for the remaining 52 defendants, including nine security officials, are scheduled to be delivered March 9. Some have been charged with murder and others with assisting the attackers. All the defendants — who were not present in the courtroom Saturday for security reasons — can appeal the verdict.
Supporters of those sentenced to death said they were being used as scapegoats. The rioters attacked the city"s prison after the verdict was read live on state television to try and free the defendants. A police lieutenant and police officer were killed in the assault.
Residents also focused their anger against the government, attacking a power station, the governor"s office and local courthouse. They staged a sit-in along the main road leading into the city and occupied a police station.
Security officials said a total of 27 people were killed and some 400 wounded, many by gunfire, throughout the city. The officials spoke on condition of anonymity because they weren"t authorized to release the information.
Victims were killed when police fired tear gas, bird shot and other live ammunition at the mob. Two soccer players who died– one from Port Said"s Al-Marikh club and the other a former player of its Al-Masry club — apparently were killed on their way to do training near the prison. One of the players was shot three times, a local health official said.
Some 135 miles away in Cairo, the divisive nature of the trial was on display.
Relatives of those killed at the soccer game erupted in joy in the courtroom after the verdict was announced.
Families yelled "Allahu Akbar!" Arabic for "God is great" and pumped their fists in the air. Others held up pictures of the deceased, most of whom were young men from Cairo"s poor neighborhoods. One man fainted while others hugged. The judge smacked the bench several times to try to restore calm.
Supporters of Cairo"s Al-Ahly celebrated the verdict in the team"s club before heading toward Interior Ministry headquarters, which manages the police, for more protests.
Lawmakers had formed a fact-finding committee that found some evidence toward collusion from authorities, but the evidence was not conclusive.
Nine of those on trial are security officials, charged with assisting the attackers for failing to search for weapons as is customary and allowing known criminals to attend the game. One was a senior officer who locked the exit designated for Al-Ahly fans. Many victims suffocated or were trampled to death in the corridor trying to escape the violence. Others were thrown off bleachers, undressed, beaten with iron bars and had the words "Port Said" carved into their skin.
Police reform researcher Karim Ennarah said the lack of a proper investigation raises the specter that some of those on trial are innocent. The state prosecutor"s office, tasked with investigating the case, was long run by a Mubarak holdover.
"We still operate in a state that doesn"t hold its employees, specifically in the security sector, to account," Ennarah said. "There might have been democratic elections, but it still is a very undemocratic state in terms of how police work."
The most high profile case since Egypt"s uprising was that of Mubarak himself. He was found guilty of failing to stop the killing of around 900 protesters. The verdict angered people who wanted him executed on charges of ordering deadly force. He was sentenced to life in prison in what even some of his opponents argue was a verdict based on flimsy evidence aimed at appeasing an angry public.
A lawyer of one of the defendants given a death sentence Saturday said this verdict too was political.
Days before the verdict, Morsi declared the victims "martyrs of the revolution", granting families up to $15,000 in compensation.
"There is nothing to say these people did anything and we don"t understand what this verdict is based on," Mohammed al-Daw said.
"Our situation in Port Said is very grave because kids were taken from their homes for wearing green T-shirts," he said, referring to the Al-Masry team color.
The president, once a detainee under Mubarak for his political activities with the Brotherhood, had vowed to restore security in his first 100 days in office. Instead, critics say he has waged a personal campaign against anti-Brotherhood figures rather than carry out comprehensive reform.
His Muslim Brotherhood allies blamed "misleading" media outlets for enflaming the public against the government. The main opposition bloc said it holds Morsi responsible for "the excessive use of force by the security forces against protesters."
Fans of Al-Ahly, mostly young men in their teens, promised more violence in the days leading up to the verdict if the death penalty was not handed down. Their main Facebook page had called for bloodshed.
"This was necessary," said Nour al-Sabah, whose 17-year-old son Ahmed Zakaria died in last year"s melee. "Now I want to see the guys when they are executed with my own eyes, just as they saw the murder of my son."
"We are not really that happy," Mohamed Ahmed, a survivor of the attack, said. "The government helped the Ultras of Port Said by blocking the gates of the stadium until people suffocated to death."
Meanwhile, Port Said resident and activist Rasha Hammouda said the city wants those involved in killings to be brought to justice.
"We have no problem with execution of those who killed, but bring everyone who is involved," she said.

We're All About Driveways, learn all about the proper installation and maintenance of residential asphalt driveways. We also pride ourselves in assisting homeowners in finding the best driveway companies in the business. Finding honest companies that will do the job right the first time.
The creator of AllAboutDriveways, Consumer Advocate Patrick Mattingley, has over 3 decades of experience in the concrete business. Utilizing his extensive experience, Patrick has carefully pre-screened and extensively background checked concrete contractors from all over the country. Of course, if they meet his strict criteria, he lists them right here on AllAboutDriveways.com.
To request a FREE estimate from the best concrete contractors serving Fayetteville, enter your contact information into the form above or call us at 1-866-966-9939. We'll connect you with up to (3) three pre-screened an background checked companies right away.* Our list of recommended concrete contractors serving Fayetteville will be notified of your request. Within 24 to 48 hours you should have up to 3 estimates to choose from.
Once processed, you'll receive an email with each company you can be expecting to hear from. The email includes their contact information, ratings, reviews from other homeowners and a link to their company profile.
Set up a business name, buy some concrete finishing tools and supplies, build a website and... poof. You're in business!
Just open any phone book, open any home improvement magazine, do an internet search, look around and see all of the pickup trucks advertising their concrete business as you're driving around town. They're everywhere. It's easy to see there is no shortage of concrete contractors.
Therefore, hiring just any company off the street is just a potential problem waiting to happen! With as easy as it is to get into and so many out there, it's like playing darts blindfolded.
The fact is, a percentage of these concrete contractors have little or no experience, no insurance, and a warranty that's only as good as the stability of the company. And they're just waiting for our phone call. They'll do our job and then the next thing we know, they go right out of business. They're here today and gone tomorrow.
Consequently, it's VERY easy to hire the wrong concrete contractor unknowingly.
The concrete industry has been proven to be one of the most fraudulent industries in the country? Concrete Scams can be found just about everywhere. Yes, unfortunately even in Fayetteville. There is little or virtually zero regulation of concrete installation. As a result, more people get ripped off by unethical and inexperienced concrete contractors than just about any other industry out there!
In the end, most people don't even realize they've been ripped off until it's too late. Months or even a year or two down the road.
Think about it... how many residential concrete driveways does the average homeowner purchase in a lifetime? One? Two? Maybe three? Incidentally, this obviously results in most of us not being up to speed about proper concrete installation techniques. Basic techniques that will help to make a concrete driveway last a lifetime, as it should.
Unethical contractors know this. They know most of us don't understand concrete driveway installation which makes it easier for them to try to take advantage of unsuspecting people.
Additionally, they know that when we ask them questions, they can just reply with answers we want to hear rather than giving us the honest answers we need. They attempt to mislead us with simple, vague answers or deflect our attention in an attempt to earn our trust.
For instance, they'll assure us they'll do an excellent job for a far better price than their competitors, but conveniently leave out the most important details. Significant details the average person wouldn't know or even think to ask. As a result, when they perform the job, they cut corners on quality to save time and expenses to increase profits.
Of course, they do the job just good enough to last long enough to meet their so-called warranty. By the time we realize what's happened, these contractors are already long gone with our hard earned money and they're nowhere to be found.
Ultimately we end up spending hundreds or thousands of dollars hiring concrete repair contractors to perform a multitude of expensive repairs, whether it be sandblasting and staining, overlaying, or patching the poorly installed job when we realize what's happened.
Unfortunately, this leads to a driveway that looks patchy and blotchy from multiple repairs and mismatched colors. With colored and stamped concrete, the problem can be even worse since it's virtually impossible to precisely match colors.
Even worse? Being forced to hire yet another concrete contractor to come back and completely remove and replace it to fix it correctly.
To illustrate, it may be an obvious answer to a silly question but, which would you rather have in front of your home?
A new concrete driveway that's
installed properly and lasts a lifetime?
Or a driveway that plagues you with problems
and countless repairs year after year?
Again, it may be an obvious answer to a silly question but, which would you rather have in front of your home?
A new concrete colored or stamped concrete driveway
that's installed properly and lasts a lifetime?
Or one that wasn't installed properly and cannot
be repaired without removing it and replacing it?
During our decades in the driveway business, we've seen poor concrete installation time after time. Imagine paying thousands of dollars for a new concrete driveway only to end up with an eyesore in front of your home that can't be repaired without spending thousands more? Imagine the costs to remove the existing, poorly installed concrete driveway?
On the other hand, unfortunately, the same problems can occur with inexperienced concrete contractors.
For example, an inexperienced contractor may have good intentions and want to do the job right, but they just can't perform at the level needed to to get the job done right due to their limited experience. In other words, a poorly installed concrete driveway due to lack of experience can cause headaches and disappointment just the same.
Nevertheless, we still end up with a driveway that looks patched with inconsistent colors that can't be solved even with time. Therefore, putting too much trust in an inexperienced contractor just isn't worth it either.
Who wants an eyesore in front of their home? Particularly after spending thousands of dollars?
But the mistake that tops them all? Hiring a driveway paving contractor whose sole intention is to rip homeowners off!
Don't mistakenly think this doesn't happen. It does and it will if you're not careful.
We receive hundreds of questions and complaints from homeowners from all over the country asking us about unethical concrete contractors.
Ask yourself these questions?
These are all questions we should ask, but really have no way of knowing how or where to begin doing such research. To do such extensive background verification on a company can require a vast amount of time, money and resources.
However, even then, with little or no knowledge of actual concrete installation, there's just no guarantee that the job will turn out right. Especially if you don't know what you're looking for exactly.
We've been in the driveway business for almost three decades. Moreover, during that time, we've installed and maintained thousands of residential concrete driveways.
To help homeowners save time, money and avoid the pitfalls of a poorly installed concrete driveway, we created AllAboutDriveways.com.
Everything you need to know is right here, in one place. Patrick, Consumer Advocate with TrustPatrick.com and creator of AllAboutDriveways.com, shares his vast experience of the driveway business. Patrick provides transparent, unbiased facts and details about all phases of concrete installation.
Just a few minutes of research on AllAboutDriveways.com has the potential of saving years of headaches and hundreds, if not thousands, of dollars on unnecessary driveway maintenance and repairs.
Equally as important, getting answers to the most frequently asked questions about concrete driveway installation that are unbiased, factual and revealing can also assist in helping you avoid choosing the wrong company.
The bottom line... here at AllAboutDriveways.com, we provide you with all of the information you need to help save you from the regret of hiring the wrong concrete contractor in Fayetteville.
Criminal Record Search, SSN & Identity Verification, Sexual Offender Registry, and Terrorist Database check.
To minimize risk of a homeowners liability if property is damaged or an employee is hurt while on the job, we require companies to provide proof of General Liability and Workers Compensation Insurance. Additionally, we are listed as a Certificate Holder on all policies so that if insurance has been canceled or has lapsed, we receive notification. We immediately remove companies in this event.
Contractors must also provide proof of licensing in the state, counties, and cities that they perform their services. **Where licensing is required.
All contractors must have been in business for a minimum of 1 year. We know exactly what questions to ask and what to look for to verify a contractors knowledge and experience about concrete installation.
All contractors must agree to perform concrete driveway installation services at or above manufacturer's specifications and deliver an exceptional customer experience. No concrete contractor is immune to our strict criteria. If you have a complaint about any of the contractors listed on our referral list, we'll investigate it and help to mediate a swift resolution.
Contractors who agree to our strict guidelines become "Official AllAboutDriveways Recommended Concrete Companies." We remove contractors from our website who don't adhere to these guidelines.
We take our job and your protection very seriously. We go the extra mile to provide our users with peace of mind. Consequently, the pre-screening and approval process can take up to 7-10 days.
Honest and trustworthy contractors that provide quality work are hard to find, and the good ones come and go for various reasons. In the event that we do not have an Official AllAboutDriveways.com Recommended Concrete Contractors we can recommend in Fayetteville, we'll forward your request to our partner network to help you obtain the estimates you were expecting. *Partner Network's Privacy Policy will Apply.
Out of all of the concrete contractors we've spoken to in Fayetteville, very few are willing to endure our extreme vetting process.
The only concrete contractors we recommend are the only ones we would hire for our own home. You can rest easy and feel confident knowing that we're here to help you get a good, quality concrete driveway that will last.

"Monday Night Miracle": That's what last night's game is already being called. Instant classic? Perhaps not the game; certainly the fourth quarter, a jaw-dropping series of events.
When Tony Kornheiser was talking about the Cards choking away the game, up 23-10 in the middle of the 4th quarter, I pshawed his talk – why piss on one of the most glorious results in Cards franchise history? They were about to seal the most staggering, unexpected win of the 2006 season. Why was he hammering this stale point? Why... --
Then the Bears D. And the fumble recovery for a TD. And the Bears D. And the Devin Hester punt return for a TD. And the Bears D. And the missed FG by the normally money Neil Rackers. And the Bears D.
It doesn't matter that they SHOULD have lost the game last night; they didn't. They weathered a gruesome game from Rex Grossman and the offense and stole one. Teams en route to a one of Those Seasons – a title season – get those kind of wins.
And this one meant more than any of the previous beat-downs the Bears have delivered this season.
What about Leinart? You had to feel for Matt Leinart. On a national stage, he came up huge. He picked apart the Bears defense in a way no one thought he would (or could). I'm willing to join the reformed naysayers who questioned his NFL bonafides: Leinart is legit.
(Hell, after that performance, we can start asking questions like: Should the Titans have taken Leinart? Should the Jets? Should the Raiders? Should the Bills? Should the Texans?)
Grossman stinks it up: Meanwhile, on the other side of the spectrum, Rex Grossman had 6 turnovers. Six! I can't even imagine what his fantasy points situation was, after 4 INTs and 2 lost fumbles. (In my league scoring, Grossman had -10 points.) Yikes. Needless to say, it's possible Grossman's luster wore off last night.
I wonder if any FFL GMs who started Grossman LOST a Monday-afternoon week-winning lead because of him. (OMG, I just checked: The guy IN MY LEAGUE with Grossman was leading his game 49-29 heading into last night. His opponent had Anquan Boldin (+12); this poor schlub had Grossman (-10). A guaranteed win becomes a contender for "Worst Loss Ever."
Dennis Green blows up: After the game, all eyes were on Green's meeting with the media. And he provided the Quote of the Day:
"If you want to crown them, just crown their ass... We let them off the hook." He's not wrong, on either count.
NFL "Flex" TV Scheduling Hearts the Bears: Word is starting to leak out about the negotiations about which games NBC will poach from Fox and CBS to move from Sunday afternoon to Sunday night in primetime. Unsurprisingly, the Bears will be a hot choice (although I predicted after that MNF game in New Orleans a few weeks ago -- with sky-high ratings -- that if the Saints look like they're legit, they should see plenty of Sunday night airtime).
Finally, here's some hilarity: A link to the Comments area for last night's pre-game, mid-game and post-game post about the Bears. Note how the tone changes. Check it out here.

The Tennessee Department of Economic and Community Development has tapped Gwyn Fisher to be the Greater Memphis regional director of economic and community development.
She'll be responsible for leading Tennessee Gov. Bill Haslam's economic developments in the Memphis area and will be a key point of contact for issues related to job creation. She'll oversee efforts to attract new businesses, help businesses expand and support other regional economic development efforts.
Her regional area encompasses Lauderdale, Tipton, Shelby and Fayette counties.
On the opening day Thursday, May 16, of the Memphis In May World Championship Barbecue Cooking Contest, the Memphis barbecue community was mourning the loss of two icons in the business of barbecue.
John Willingham, a past winner of the contests, restaurant owner and former Shelby County Commissioner died Wednesday.
Willingham tested his turbo cooker as well as seasonings and sauces at the 1982 barbecue contest and his team placed first for ribs and as the overall champion of the contest. The recognition boosted Willingham's profile in the restaurant business.
Don Pelts, founder and owner of Corky's Ribs & BBQ, also died Wednesday. Pelts founded Corky's in 1984 after 13 years operating another barbecue restaurant that he didn't own.
For Pelts, his business plan includes a 1950s decor and slow-cooked ribs that were hand pulled.
The original Memphis location in the Poplar corridor has since expanded to include other locations.
A new Memphis-based air carrier, Southern Airways Express, announced non-stop flight service to Destin and Panama City Beach, Fla., Gulf Shores, Ala., and New Orleans earlier this week.
Southern is the only airline that will offer non-stop flights from Memphis to the Gulf Coast between New Orleans and Tampa, Fla.
Southern Airways is not yet offering tickets for sale, but the company expects its website, www.iFlySouthern.com, to be online shortly. The first flights will take off on May 29, and fares on all flights will range from $129 to $249 one-way.
"All of us at Southern are very excited to call Memphis our home and to offer these new destinations to the people of the Mid-South," said Southern Airways Express CEO and Chairman Stan Little. "Rather than having an air carrier that needed another city, we have a city that needs another air carrier."
Little says the airline won't charge baggage or parking fees and that passengers will be able to arrive for flights from Olive Branch Airport and General Dewitt-Spain 15 minutes prior to departure. The airline will operate nine-seat aircraft.
Tennessee's ignition interlock law will apply to more drunken drivers under legislation signed by Gov. Bill Haslam.
Currently, ignition-locking devices, which force drivers to pass breath tests to start vehicles and keep them running, are required for DUI offenders whose blood alcohol level topped 0.15 percent.
This bill drops the level to the intoxication threshold of 0.08 percent and would require first-time offenders to get the devices. In turn, those convicted of DUI won't get a restricted driver's license and will be allowed to drive anywhere.
The measure was unanimously approved 95-0 in the House and 31-0 in the Senate.
It was sponsored by Republican Sen. Mae Beavers of Mt. Juliet and Republican Rep. Tony Shipley of Kingsport.
The annual Beale Street Caravan Blowout party will be June 13 at A. Schwab Dry Goods Store, at 163 Beale St.
This year's party will feature live music by Reba Russell and catering by Mac Edwards of the Elegant Farmer. Tickets are $75 per person, and the party will last from 6 p.m. to 9 p.m.
The party, which also will feature a silent auction, comes against the backdrop of sad news for the organization, which lost its co-founder recently. Beale Street Caravan co-founder Sid Selvidge lost his battle with cancer earlier this month.
The Beale Street Caravan radio show has more than 400 radio stations each week that carry its programming to 2.4 million listeners.
Tennessee Gov. Bill Haslam has signed a bill that allows school districts to let people with police training be armed in schools.
The measure passed the House 82-15 and was approved 27-6 in the Senate.
It allows schools to hire retired law enforcement officers after they meet certain requirements, such as completing a 40-hour school security course.
The measure makes information about which teachers are armed or which schools allow the guns confidential to anyone but law enforcement.
Haslam included $34 million in his budget for local government officials to use on their priorities, which could include security measures.
A plunge in the cost of gas drove down a measure of U.S. consumer prices last month by the most since December 2008. Excluding the drop in fuel costs, prices were largely unchanged.
The consumer price index fell 0.4 percent in April from March, the Labor Department said Thursday. The main reason the index fell was that gas prices plunged 8.1 percent.
For the 12 months that ended in April, overall prices rose 1.1 percent – the smallest year-over-year increase in 2 1/2 years.
Excluding volatile energy and food costs, "core" prices ticked up 0.1 percent last month. Core prices have risen only 1.7 percent in the past 12 months. That's just below the Federal Reserve's 2 percent inflation target.
Scant inflation is allowing the Fed to continue its extraordinary efforts to stimulate the economy. Worries about lower inflation or even deflation might push the Fed to step up its low interest-rate policies to stimulate more borrowing and spending and push prices higher.
Deflation is a destabilizing cycle in which prices and wages fall steadily. It can slow economic growth.
Average U.S. rates on fixed mortgages rose this week but stayed near their historic lows. Cheaper mortgages have helped the economy by spurring more home buying and refinancing.
Mortgage buyer Freddie Mac says the average rate for the 30-year loan increased to 3.51 percent from 3.42 percent last week. That's still near the average of 3.31 percent reached in November, the lowest on records dating to 1971.
The average on the 15-year loan rose to 2.69 percent. That's up from 2.61 percent last week, which was the lowest on records going back to 1991.
Low mortgage rates have helped sustain the housing recovery that began last year. Home sales and construction are up from a year ago, and prices are rising in most U.S. markets.
Christopher Reckert, president and CEO of Memphis-based ePaymentAmerica, has created a new social commerce tool called Yapyzal, which launched this week.
The tool is intended to allow businesses to design and share product offers on social media sites, then complete the sale via secure credit and debit card processing without leaving the social media platform.
The service is first launching on Facebook. It's powered by ePaymentAmerica, which provides customer service and billing for the new service.
And the goal is to eventually extend the service to other social networking platforms.
EPaymentAmerica is a wholesale merchant service provider, with customers in all 50 states.
U.S. manufacturers cut back on production in April, as auto companies cranked out fewer cars, factories made fewer consumer goods and most other industries reduced output.
The weakness suggests economic growth may be slowing this spring.
The Federal Reserve said Wednesday that factory output dropped 0.4 percent in April, the third decline in four months.
Production of autos and auto parts fell 1.3 percent in April. The drop is likely temporary because automakers are reporting stronger sales.
Still, the declines in April were broad-based. Factories produced fewer machines, electrical equipment, clothes, appliances, furniture and primary metals. Manufacturers made more computers and electronic products, among the few areas that showed gains.
Factories are making fewer goods in part because of a weaker global economy, which has reduced demand for U.S. exports.
And exports are likely to stay sluggish because the recession of the 17 European Union countries that use the euro has extended into its sixth quarter.
Overall industrial production, which also includes output at utilities and mines, dropped 0.5 percent in April.
That's the biggest decline since August. Utility production plunged 3.7 percent, as power output returned to more normal levels after an unusually cold March.
A separate regional manufacturing report indicated that factory activity in the New York region shrank in May, signaling further weakness.
The New York Federal Reserve Bank's Empire State manufacturing survey fell to 1.4 in May, down from 3.1 in April.
Still, there are some signs that factory output could pick up later this year, particularly in the auto industry.
Ford, GM, Chrysler and Nissan all reported double-digit U.S. sales increases, signaling the best April for car and truck sales in six years.
Car sales have risen steadily this year after reaching a five-year high in 2012.
Wunderlich Securities Inc. has added new financial advisers in a few offices, including in Memphis.
In Memphis, Jenny King has joined Wunderlich as a financial adviser from Morgan Keegan & Co. Inc. There, she had served as director of marketing for retail fixed-income trading for nine years.
King's responsibilities at Morgan Keegan also included the coordination of the fixed-income marketing initiatives for a sales force of more than 1,200 advisers and product development.
Memphis-based Wunderlich also recently added advisers in Houston and Dallas.
Foreign demand for U.S. Treasury securities rose to a record level in March even though China, the largest foreign holder of Treasury debt, reduced its holdings slightly. The overall increase indicated that foreign investors remain confident in holding U.S. debt.
The Treasury Department says total foreign holdings of Treasury securities increased 0.7 percent in March compared with February to a record $5.76 trillion.
That is an increase of 11.9 percent over a year ago.
China's holdings dipped by 0.1 percent to $1.25 trillion. Japan, the second-largest holder, also trimmed its holdings to $1.11 trillion, down 0.1 percent.
The third largest holder, five countries in the Caribbean including the Bahamas and the Cayman Islands, saw their holdings rise 3.9 percent to $291.3 billion.
FedEx Corp. is building a $23.5 million ground distribution facility in southwestern Illinois that will process 10,000 packages an hour once fully operational.
Gov. Pat Quinn announced the plans Tuesday in Sauget, just across the river from St. Louis. He touted the company's decision as an endorsement of his administration's efforts to lure business.
Quinn's office says the facility will support 25 full-time jobs and 150 part-time jobs once it opens, in August 2014.
Illinois is offering the company tax credits worth $459,000 over 10 years if it meets a commitment to create jobs at the Sauget site and invest in the community.
Three Magna Bank employees from the bank's mortgage division have garnered some new distinctions recently.
Laura Sinclair, a senior vice president and Middle Tennessee production manager with Magna, has been appointed to the board of directors of the Nashville Mortgage Bankers Association.
Meanwhile, at the annual convention of the Tennessee Mortgage Bankers Association the group awarded Magna executive vice president and mortgage division manager Lisa Reid with the Ernest P. Schumacher Lifetime Achievement Award. That honor goes to recipients who have a long-standing reputation as a leader in the mortgage industry and who have contributed locally and statewide to the Mortgage Bankers Association.
Also, Meribeth LaBarreare, a vice president and senior loan officer with Magna's mortgage division, has been inducted as president of the Tennessee Mortgage Bankers Association. As part of her responsibilities, she will advocate for the mortgage industry on the national level.
RedRover Sales & Marketing took home four international awards as part of the 2013 Communicator Awards.
The firm got three Awards of Distinction for creative work completed for clients Thomas & Betts Corp., DreamCatcher Hotels and The MED Foundation. The firm also earned an Award of Excellence for its own newly designed website.
The award winners were announced by the International Academy of the Visual Arts. With more than 6,000 entries received from around the world, the Communicator Awards is the largest and most competitive awards program honoring creative excellence for communications professionals.

Marjorie Cohen, senior associate for education with the National League of Cities, will be the featured speaker at the quarterly meeting of Memphis Talent Dividend this week.
The meeting starts at 9 a.m. Thursday, May 16, at the Leadership Memphis Gallery, 363 S. Main St.
Cohen is a leading education policy adviser for municipalities. Her work focuses on the importance of early childhood education as well as post-secondary education policy issues, and she's currently involved in a national initiative on post-secondary success for low-income adults.
Also speaking will be Jose Cabrales and Margarita Benitez, representatives from Excelencia in Education, a policy group that advises municipal and institutional advocates of public policy that supports higher educational achievement, especially for Latino students, including college attainment.
Del-Nat Tire Corp. hopes to turn an eyesore into things of beauty.
A volunteer team from the Memphis-based company on Saturday collected 832 discarded tires, which it plans to transform into living trees.
Del-Nat is donating $1 toward the purchase of trees for each tire collected during the cleanup effort, which took place around the 700 block of Peebles in South Memphis. The Memphis City Beautiful Commission and Shelby County government assisted in the effort, which Del-Nat called "Tires for Trees."
"We feel this is a perfect way for Del-Nat to contribute to our community – helping to beautify our city, and combating a health hazard by eliminating places inside discarded tires where mosquitoes can breed," said Jim Mayfield, president of Del-Nat, an independent provider of automobile, agriculture and commercial truck tires and tubes. "You could say we're completing the cycle, from delivering new tires to properly disposing the used ones."
The collected tires will be recycled by Pittsburgh-based Liberty Tire Recycling. The donated trees will be planted during the fall in areas selected by Memphis City Beautiful.
Gov. Bill Haslam on Monday vetoed a bill that would require images documenting animal abuse be turned over to law enforcement within 48 hours, saying his main concern is its constitutionality.
State Attorney General Bob Cooper last week said in a legal opinion that the measure would be "constitutionally suspect" because it could violate Fifth Amendment protections against self-incrimination and for placing burdens on news collection.
Haslam said the opinion is among at least three reasons he's vetoing the bill.
"First, the Attorney General says the law is constitutionally suspect," the Republican governor said in a news release. "Second, it appears to repeal parts of Tennessee's Shield Law without saying so. If that is the case, it should say so. Third, there are concerns from some district attorneys that the act actually makes it more difficult to prosecute animal cruelty cases, which would be an unintended consequence."
A number of groups and celebrities have spoken out against the proposal they have dubbed the "ag gag" bill. They say the bill is designed to prevent whistleblowers from collecting evidence of ongoing patterns of abuse.
The American Civil Liberties Union of Tennessee was among the groups that lauded Haslam's decision.
The veto is Haslam's second since he took office in 2011.
When The Woody Guthrie Center opened recently in Tulsa, Okla., it included 12 touch-screen kiosks that were developed by Memphis-based custom software development firm Mind Over Data.
The kiosks that Mind Over Data helped develop allow visitors to browse photos, writings, audio recordings, videos and other digital artifacts.
One of the kiosks allows visitors to type their own song lyrics into a digital version of an Olympia typewriter, the same kind Guthrie used. Another kiosk allows multiple users to browse information about Guthrie's life via an interactive map.
Woody Guthrie, who lived from 1912-1967, was a prominent folk singer and songwriter.
Mind Over Data specializes in interactive touch screen kiosks; mobile applications for Android and iPhone; business process automation; development of portals, intranets and extranets; and knowledge management and collaboration.
Thomas & Betts Corp. executives marked one year since the acquisition of the Memphis-based power and electric utility devices company by ABB Group of Zurich Thursday, May 9, with three contributions from both. The contributions, totaling $1 million, went to St. Jude Children's Research Hospital, Le Bonheur Children's Hospital and the Memphis Development Foundation.
The contributions honor recently retired Thomas & Betts chairman and CEO Dominic J. Pileggi.
Of the total, $500,000 went to St. Jude ALSAC, the fundraising arm of the research hospital. Another $400,000 was awarded to Le Bonheur and $100,000 was presented to the Memphis Development Foundation for use in the $14 million education and performing arts center the foundation is building as part of The Orpheum Theater.
"We've sponsored the tournament. We've done that for years," said Charles L. Treadway, president and CEO of the Thomas & Betts business unit, referring to the FedEx St. Jude Golf Classic at the Tournament Players Club where the checks were presented Thursday evening and Pileggi as well as long-time Thomas & Betts general counsel Jim Raines were honored. "When we asked Dominic all the different charities he's donated to since his time in Memphis, the list was quite long. We limited it to these three just to have a significant impact."
Pileggi presented the checks and told a group of 100 at the club that the acquisition has gone well with both companies integrating their cultures and practices with Thomas & Betts adding 100 jobs in its Memphis-area operations since the $3.9 billion deal was finalized one year ago this month.
Baptist Memorial Health Care said it has named Dr. Stephen Edge as the medical director of the Baptist Cancer Center.
Edge, who most recently served as the Alfiero Foundation Endowed chair in Breast Oncology at Roswell Park Cancer Institute in Buffalo, N.Y., will oversee construction of the new cancer center building slated to open in 2014 near the Baptist Memorial Hospital-Memphis campus.
Edge is a graduate of Tufts University in Medford, Mass., and earned his medical degree from Case Western Reserve University in Cleveland and completed his internship and residency at University Hospitals of Cleveland. He completed his fellowship at the National Cancer Institute in Bethesda, Md.
He is active in cancer care research and national policy development.
The Assisi Foundation of Memphis Inc. is giving the Shelby County District Attorney General's office $200,000 to replace file servers and other computer hardware that is outdated as well as desktop and laptop computers. The grant will allow a much-needed update in the computer system of the prosecutor's office.
Shelby County District Attorney General Amy Weirich said the funding is critical for the office, which replaced some desktops and laptops in 2008, but otherwise hasn't had a significant upgrade to its software and computer systems since 1999.

11/5/2013: Aunt Alma died this morning. She was a brilliant woman and a bright light. I am so glad Zuri and I were blessed to spend some time with her in February. Rest in peace, Aunt Alma. Yours was a life well lived.
This afternoon First Lady Michelle Obama will give the Commencement address at Spelman College.
Anybody who talks to me for more than five minutes (OK, two minutes) knows that my daughter, Zuri, goes to Spelman. And if you talk to me for 10 minutes you will hear the story of why, among many of the good decisions she has made in her life, Spelman has so far been one of the best.
But Zuri is not the first member of our extended family to go to Spelman. There is Andrea Williams, MD; Gabrielle Fouché Williams, and Janelle Duckett, who with Zuri is a member of the Class of 2012.
And then there is my Aunt Alma Stone Williams.
Aunt Alma entered Spelman at the age of 15. She was valedictorian when she graduated in 1940. She wrote a lovely letter to me with memories of my mom, who was her late husband Russell's favorite cousin. I'll share that letter with you in an upcoming post.
After earning her bachelor's degree at Spelman, Aunt Alma earned master's degree at Atlanta University. An accomplished pianist, she planned to study at Juilliard during the summer of 1944 when an opportunity arose that was so compelling she could not pass it up. She was invited to be the first ever and only black student at Black Mountain College, an experimental, liberal arts college in North Carolina. Though the school was founded in 1933 on the principles of democratic governance and community living, it had no black students or faculty for the first decade of its existence. School officials wanted to integrate, but weren't sure how. In 1944 they decided to admit Aunt Alma as a summer student.
"In attending Black Mountain for their Summer Session in 1944, Alma became possibly the first Black student in the 20th century to attend a predominantly white college in the South. (Most other white colleges did not integrate until twenty years or more later)," her son Russell wrote in a chronology in honor of his mother's 90th birthday April 26.
In a 2008 profile on Aunt Alma in the Ashville, North Carolina Urban News, she is quoted as saying:
"Pioneering did not frighten me. I was accustomed to studying and living with white teachers at Spelman and to reaching for high standards in all areas."
Aunt Alma's decision to take that leap of faith changed Black Mountain College.
"In 1945 the College admitted two African American students to the Summer Session and also two guest faculty members, performers Carol Brice and Roland Hayes," the Urban News article said. "That fall the college hired an African American faculty member, Dr. Percy H. Baker, and admitted an African American, Sylvesta Martin, as a full-time student for the regular academic year. In the winter of 1947, five black students were enrolled at the college: two men, both veterans of WWII, and three women.
At this point the faculty voted to declare the experimental stage of its interracial program at an end and to release a public statement to the effect that henceforth "admission will be open to all students of all races."
Spelman's theme song is "A Choice to Change the World."
That is exactly what Aunt Alma did.
Congratulations to the Spelman Class of 2011. I'm sure anything I say will pale in comparison to what you hear from First Lady Sister Michelle.
So I will let Aunt Alma's legacy speak for itself.
