Dodging Tornadoes Through the Middle South
May 8, 2014 Steve Wellmeier
Site of the 1968 assassination of Dr. Martin Luther King, the Lorraine Motel is now the National Civil Rights Museum in Memphis, Tennessee. It reopened just last month following extensive renovations and updates.
This article is something of a departure from my usual travel marketing and PR-focused blog posts. But it's still about travel. Not aboard small expedition ships or riverboats, but rather about a 2,000-mile drive I made last week from Texas to Rhode Island.
I've assembled some random observations about what I saw and experienced during the six-day drive that took me through 13 states. I'm not a travel blogger, but I hope you enjoy my comments. Feel free to add your own.
The occasion for the trip was returning my wife Anne's bright red Audi A3 from the apartment in Dallas to our home in Providence. I had time in my schedule—she didn't—and wanted to see how her peppy little six-speed stick would navigate the back roads of Tennessee, the Smoky Mountains and the southern portion of the Blue Ridge Parkway in North Carolina. I've covered the distance several times before, but always through Oklahoma, Missouri, Illinois, Indiana, Ohio and central Pennsylvania.
Navigator Ted Scull ready to guide us on Day Two, from Mount Pleasant, TX to Memphis, TN via Little Rock, AR.
The southern route was decidedly more scenic, particularly once off the interstate system and into the hills. Excuse me if I temper my enthusiasm about how the car handled, as Anne will be reading this post and I wouldn't want her to think that I in any way put the A3 through its paces. I'll just say the car and its German engineering really allowed me to engage with the destination, if you catch my drift—certainly not four-wheel drift, mind you—and still average about 35 mpg.
The Co-Pilot
As I said, Anne was busy. Volunteering for the ride and proving to be a splendid navigator was Ted Scull, New York City-based travel writer and friend of 25 years. Ted is no stranger to long car trips, having driven the family 1956 Ford station wagon from Philadelphia to Alaska and back in 1959, covering 14,597.8 miles, 500 of it without a windshield. (The ".8" gives you an idea of Ted's sense of detail as a navigator. He promised me he would write about that adventure someday.)
Built in 1901 for the Choctaw, Oklahoma and Gulf Railroad, the Choctaw Route Station in Little Rock is now part of the Clinton library complex. It houses the University of Arkansas Clinton School of Public Service, the Clinton Policy Institute and the Clinton Foundation. The door to the right of the main entrance led to a segregated waiting room for black travelers.
These days, Ted is recognized for his encyclopedic knowledge of passenger ships and trains, and the route we traversed lent itself to many stories and anecdotes about the latter that I've never previously had occasion to hear. In Little Rock, Arkansas, for example, he pointed out that the right-hand door in the old but renovated Choctaw Route Railroad Station, now part of the Clinton library complex, was very likely the entrance for black travelers during the Jim Crow days. The Choctaw, which later became part of the famed Rock Island Line, had separate waiting rooms and train cars, too.
The sheer number of churches and church signs visible from the interstates, old federal and state highways in Arkansas and Tennessee is astonishing. The church buildings themselves ranged from traditional early 20th-century frame construction and unadorned metal doublewide trailers to gigantic modern mega-churches. Driving through Arkansas on a Sunday, we didn't see many empty church parking lots. I'm only exaggerating a little in saying that at least one church or church sign was constantly in sight during our drive through these two states. How so many churches can build and maintain their congregations effectively in a relatively sparsely populated region intrigues me.
Roadside Hotels
Aside from visiting a few attractions during the first half of the trip, we were driving a good part of each day, generally from 8:30 or 9:00 am until about 7:00 or 7:30 pm. The priorities for our brief hotel stays were simple: convenience to the road and reasonable rates, plus Wi-Fi and breakfast at no additional cost. The Hampton Inn in Mount Pleasant, Texas; Comfort Inn in Downtown Memphis, Tennessee; Fairfield Inn in Cleveland, Tennessee; and the Sheraton Hotel and Conference Center in Roanoke, Virginia all delivered the goods for between $100-$150 (but no free breakfast at the Sheraton, the plushest and most expensive of the four).
We scrupulously avoided the national chain restaurants. Local eateries, like the Southwind Family Restaurant in Middleton, TN or Stoner's Family Restaurant in Chambersburg, PA proved interesting spots for quick lunch breaks and people watching.
Ted and I agreed from the start that we wouldn't eat at any chain restaurants unless absolutely necessary. Lord knows they are ubiquitous, even in the smallest communities, and their signage along the roads wears on you like Chinese water torture. Helping us in our quest were several hotel receptionists who pointed us to local establishments. For those of you who like a drink before or with dinner, you may want to check in advance if a southern hotel's locale is dry and BYOB is necessary, as it was at Angelo's Italian Restaurant in Mount Pleasant, Texas. As the perky waitress said to two chagrined and thirsty travelers, "You might like the root beer; it has a little bite to it."
The menu at the Flying Fish in Downtown Little Rock, Arkansas. Catfish, frog legs, fried oysters and hush puppies. Definitely, my kind of road food.
On my return to Providence, I filled out a generic online customer satisfaction survey for the Mount Pleasant Hampton Inn, commenting that it might be helpful to let those guests with reservations know it was situated in a dry county so they could prepare accordingly; i.e. bring booze. I was surprised to get an email back almost immediately from Shea Ingram, the property's general manager, apologizing and promising "to have a bottle of wine waiting in [my] room" the next time I pass through. That is impressive customer service!
Tornado Alley
Late April in Arkansas and Tennessee is beautiful, with dogwoods and redbuds blooming on the hillsides and in the hollows. However, it's also tornado season, and we spent about a day-and-a-half running ahead or sidestepping weather cells that had the potential to upset our trip. Fortunately, we were safely ensconced in our Tennessee hotels in Memphis and Cleveland, which is just north of Chattanooga, during two horrific nighttime or early morning thunderstorms and tornado watches. I expanded my weather vocabulary on the trip, tuning in to a local Athens, Mississippi radio station as we drove east along old Federal Highway 64 in southern Tennessee, learning about tornadic signatures, tornado debris fields and the like. I also learned to drive a little faster than I normally do.
The Attractions
Ted agreed to accompany me if we could visit a few attractions he was interested in seeing and get off the interstate, time permitting. He turned out to be an excellent road trip curator. Traveling cross country with someone as knowledgeable and curious as Ted was a good thing, as I might not have gotten around to seeing these sites otherwise.
The Sixth Floor Museum at Dealey Plaza, Dallas
My flight from Logan via O'Hare and Ted's from LaGuardia landed within ten minutes of one another at Dallas-Fort Worth Airport on a Saturday afternoon in late April. Within two hours, we had picked up Anne's car and were standing in line at this infamous site in downtown Dallas.
A photo from the corner window, seventh floor, of the Book Depository Building (no picture taking on the sixth floor). Everything was closer, more intimate than I had imagined.
For those of us who grew up in the '60s, many of the exhibits and photos are very familiar. But nothing prepares you to stand just a few feet away from the window, once obstructed from co-workers by stacks of wooden book crates, where Lee Harvey Oswald crouched with a mail-order Italian carbine that cost him $12.78. Peering out from a nearby window, I was struck by its closeness to the slope of Elm Street, where the presidential limousine was heading west on November 22, 1963. The considerable distance I had previously imagined from photos and television was chillingly compressed.
Reading one of the lengthy "conspiracy" exhibit placards alongside another visitor, I was asked by him if I thought Oswald alone was responsible for the assassination. I mumbled something to the effect that the Warren Commission Report seemed very thorough and none of the other theories seemed to hold up over time. "But how do you explain the fact that six fellow Book Depository employees signed affidavits that they were having lunch with Oswald at the time of the shooting?" he asked. I shook my head without an answer. These things seem to have a life of their own.
The William J. Clinton Presidential Center and Park, Little Rock
Following an early lunch at Downtown Little Rock's popular Flying Fish—where you can donate your used Big Mouth Billy Bass faux trophy plaque and get a free basket of fried catfish—we headed over to the nearby Arkansas River on an overcast Sunday. I found the main steel and glass building of the Center, designed by Polshek Partnership and set adjacent to the 30-acre Clinton Presidential Park, to be handsome and well situated to the river, with attractive landscaping and views of the surrounding parkland.
The Clinton Presidential Center was dedicated in 2004, and the ceremony was attended by approximately 30,000 people. It holds the largest archival collection of documents, photographs and artifacts of any of the 13 presidential libraries.
It was my first visit to a presidential library, so I'm no judge of these things. My sense in talking with people is that, except for scholars, the inclination to visit any particular presidential library is directly proportional to their political persuasion. Myself excluded, of course.
The exhibits and prominent timelines were engaging and worthy of another visit someday. They led me to think about the difficulty in finding the right balance between fact, spin, and what's chosen for display or not in a prominent archive like this. Although Ralph Appelbaum designed the displays, he acknowledged that Clinton himself was "the editor-in-chief, the curator-in-chief and many times the art director of the exhibits." The library's hushed tones during the early afternoon gave way to a lively dress rehearsal for an upcoming teenage fashion show, focusing on recycled clothing and other items, in one of the library's function rooms.
The National Civil Rights Museum, Memphis
Ted and I arrived at the old Lorraine Motel site early on a Monday morning, and managed to stay well ahead of a large primary school field trip group as we toured the exhibits. I'm naturally drawn to mid-century modern architecture, and was delighted to see those exterior elements intact and beautifully maintained, in spite of the massive renovation to the interior to create a first-class museum. What was new to me was the fact that the motel was built in the late '50s as an appendage to the older Lorraine Hotel, attracting black celebrities the likes of Ray Charles, Lionel Hampton, Aretha Franklin and Otis Redding. The museum re-opened just last month following a $27 million renovation.
The white wreath commemorates the spot where Martin Luther King was standing when he was shot. His room, 306, and the adjacent room are intact, while the rest of the motel's interior space has been given over to the museum exhibit area. The two cars are replicas of those that were parked at the motel at the time of the shooting.
The exhibits briefly and engagingly cover the history of slavery, emancipation and the rise of Jim Crow laws, but focus mainly on the rise of the civil rights movement in the '60s. A mock-up of a department store lunch counter where blacks staged a sit-in featured contemporary television interviews with the store's employees using, by today's standards, shockingly coarse language in their exchanges with the protestors. I was engrossed, but a fellow museum visitor who was black and middle aged walked by, glancing at the exhibit without stopping. She later remarked to Ted that she found that the audio track struck a little too close to home.
The museum complex also includes an old rooming house building across the street. It was through a grimy bathroom window there that James Earl Ray targeted Martin Luther King on April 4, 1968. Exhibits in this building concentrate on the investigation and hunt for the killer as well as the myriad conspiracy theories for which the American public seems to have an insatiable appetite. To personally stand in the intimate vicinity of such a horrendous crime, like at Dealey Plaza, provides an uncomfortable dose of reality.
The Memphis neighborhood where the museum is located has clearly undergone considerable gentrification in recent decades, a fact not lost on Jacqueline Smith, a former employee and the last resident of the Lorraine Motel. She has maintained her own protest vigil about this and other issues on the adjacent street for more than 25 years, and is very willing to tell you her story, as she shared with me.
The Scenic Route
For half of the trip, we stuck to what the Rand McNally 2014 Road Atlas calls the "scenic route," those highways and byways on the map with the little green dots running alongside. In Tennessee, these included old Federal Highway 64 through most of the state and then the Foothills Parkway, which traverses the western flank of the Chillhowee Mountain and runs alongside Chillhowee Lake, an impoundment of the Tennessee River.
The Foothills Parkway was something of an afterthought, as Tennessee residents woke to the realization that none of the 1930s-planned Blue Ridge Parkway was slated to pass through their state. Authorized by Congress in 1944, the Foothills Parkway has never been fully funded, with only about one-third of the intended 71-mile parkway complete.
We witnessed a strange occurrence shortly after entering the Parkway Tuesday morning. Pausing to take some photos near the southern entrance, we saw a white pickup drive by with a dog in the rear bed. As we continued into the park, the truck sped back past us with the dog, a pit bull mix, now in pursuit. We slowed down but decided not to invite too close an inspection by the canine. At our earliest opportunity, we called the local emergency authorities who indicated they would check it out. Pet desertion? Or perhaps a toughening-up exercise? It was disconcerting to us for sure.
"They don't call 'em the Smoky Mountains for nothin.'"
Picking up some sandwiches at a deli in Gatlinburg, Tennessee later that morning, we headed south through the Great Smoky National Park. We followed switchbacks alongside and over rushing streams, gaining altitude to Newfound Gap, where at 5,048 feet the road bisects the 2,184-mile Appalachian Trail. A cold, blustery wind forced us to eat in the car, but the views of the "smoking" valleys below and racing clouds not far overhead were memorable. We met some young and enthusiastic trail hikers ("we're walking the whole way!"), and gave a lift to a hitchhiking video/performance artist from London on his way from upstate New York to New Orleans, dropping him off as we exited the park near Cherokee, North Carolina.
Still looking fresh, this pair has 1,972 miles still to go to Katahdin, Maine, the northern terminus of the Appalachian Trail.
We joined the southern end of the Blue Ridge Parkway nearby, the famed 469-mile scenic drive that was conceived during the Roosevelt Administration, with construction work beginning in 1935. Unfortunately, we were only able to navigate a few dozen miles before re-connecting with the interstate west of Asheville, North Carolina. We simply didn't have enough time in the day to make it on the Parkway to Roanoke, Virginia, our intended evening destination. I guess we should have added another day. Ted was in luck, however, as we covered the only stretch that he hadn't driven on previous trips. So, I'll save the rest of this beautiful highway for another day, and I think Anne will be happy to join me. Maybe the weather will be better, too.
Rain, Traffic, More Rain and More Traffic
The fifth day was a brutal struggle against an expansive thunderstorm that accompanied us nearly continuously along 470 miles of interstate highway through Virginia, West Virginia, Maryland, Pennsylvania, New Jersey and into New York City. Due to the weather, we scratched our plan to drive the 105-mile length of Virginia's Skyline Drive, which runs through the National Park Service's Shenandoah National Park. I'll add that to the list for a later visit, too.
Not surprisingly, the clutching and shifting that were such a pleasure on the southern parkways were anything but as we got closer to Manhattan. We crept through the Holland Tunnel and traffic in lower Manhattan, ending at Ted and Suellyn Scull's apartment on the Upper East Side. Having been an overnight visitor there many times in the past, I don't remember the guest room bed ever looking so inviting, along with the wonderful dinner that Suellyn had waiting for us. Best meal of the trip.
Following a short visit with a client on Long Island Thursday morning, I aimed the car across the Throgs Neck Bridge and straight up a not-very-straight Interstate 95 to Providence, hoping to avoid rush hour traffic patterns in Westchester County and Connecticut. That didn't work out so well, but at least the skies were clear and I pulled on my sunglasses for the first time during the entire trip.
Ted and I are already talking about a future road trip – no destination chosen yet. One of criteria, though, is selecting an area that neither Anne nor Suellyn would be enthusiastic about visiting. Whether I can again use Anne's car remains to be seen. See you on the road!
Where to next time, Ted?

Allow one print of a movie to be shown in adjacent rooms at multiplex
Movie prints cost a lot of money to produce (35mm film stock isn't cheap). Many multiplexes show major movies in several auditoriums with slightly different start times. Because any given portion of the film is only being shown on one screen at a time, it should be possible to "share" one print between two screens (note that the producers and distributors shouldn't mind, since their profits are based on ticket sales rather than the number of prints circulated).
Sharing prints would have been fairly straightforward a few years ago, when theaters used multiple projectors. One approach to solving the 'sharing' problem would be to return using two projectors, at least for movies being shown on multiple screens.
An alternative method would be to equip adjoining theaters with a film-holding device somewhat like the 'loop platters' at the Museum of Moving Image in London, but slack racks (whatever they're called) on either side of it. The film in the first theater's booth would have a long leader attached which would be fed through an opening the second theater's booth, where it would go onto a loop platter (preferably after going through a slack rack). Once the film was started, it would begin to accumulate on the loop platter until the projectionst was ready to start threading the second projector and just about ready to start it. At that point, the projectionist would stop the platter loop reel (film would start accumulating in the first slack rack), feed the film through the second slack rack, and then start feeding the projector. When the first slack rack was nearly full, the platter loop would restart and start feeding film into the second slack rack. Hopefully by the time the second slack rack filled up, the projector would be threaded and ready to roll (if not, the first theater's showing would probably have to be interrupted). Once the projector was ready, the projectionist would flip a switch and take a well-deserved rest.
To be sure, this latter approach would probably be more difficult than the first, but the first wouldn't be much of an 'invention'. Movie film for 35mm travels at about 2 feet per second. A platter loop like the ones at MOMI would have no difficulty holding 20-30 minutes or so of film. Slack racks wouldn't be able to hold nearly so much film (a 6' rack with 10 pulleys on the top and bottom would hold about a minute's worth) but if the projectionist is reasonably quick, a minute's worth of rack before the loop platter and a minute after should suffice.
Even cooler would be a figure-eight loop platter design which could accommodate varying amounts of film, but I'm not sure if that would be practical.

A single, long continuous piece of film winding its way throughout a theater would be kind of cool, in an artsy sort of way. Other than that, probably cheaper to go digital.
— phoenix, Apr 11 2004
Well, digital would have its advantages, but acetate (*NOT* celluloid!) will still be around for awhile. And while it is, it would seem one should try to make the most of it.
As noted, probably the most practical method of sharing a print between two screens would be to keep reels of the film separate and use two projectors per screen. This would keep a projectionist fairly busy, to be sure, but it shouldn't be unmanageable. The approach I suggested would demand a bit more skill on the part of the projectionist (I don't think threading a slack rack and projector in two minutes should be a problem, but would require the projectionist to be reasonably adept) but would only require the projectionist to do tricky stuff once per booth per movie (instead of less-tricky stuff once per booth per reel).
Toadinov: Unless you want to have all four rooms running movies about 30 seconds apart, you'll need to have something to hold film between projectors.
This is definitely necessary because the film industry hardly makes any money at all, and they certainly need to scrimp and save wherever they can.
— waugsqueke, Apr 11 2004
with multiple film reels this might be semi-baked already. When reel 1 is done and reel 2 is in, pass reel 1 to theater 2 where everyone is taking their seats...

Georgia Senate Elections Reside Updates: Ossoff Leads Perdue as Ballots Counted
Right here's what it is advisable to know:
Indicators in Atlanta for the Rev. Raphael Warnock, who defeated Kelly Loeffler, and Jon Ossoff, who was main David Perdue.Credit score…Audra Melton for The New York Instances
Democrats inched nearer to taking management of the Senate on Wednesday, successful one of many two Georgia seats up for grabs in a pair of runoff elections whereas the second contest remained too near name at the same time as outstanding Democrats started declaring victory.
The Rev. Raphael Warnock, a Democrat and the pastor on the historic Ebenezer Baptist Church in Atlanta, defeated Senator Kelly Loeffler, a Republican, to turn into the primary Black senator in Georgia historical past and the primary Black Democrat to be elected to the Senate within the South.
Within the different contest, David Perdue, the Republican whose Senate time period ended on Sunday, and his Democratic challenger, Jon Ossoff, had been separated by lower than half a share level, with 1000's of votes nonetheless to be counted, a lot of them from Democratic-leaning areas. Mr. Ossoff held a slender lead.
On Wednesday morning, Mr. Ossoff declared victory and Senator Chuck Schumer of New York, the Democratic chief, proclaimed that his get together would win the bulk.
"It appears like a model new day," Mr. Schumer mentioned in an announcement. "For the primary time in six years, Democrats will function a majority in the US Senate — and that can be excellent for the American individuals."
Mr. Perdue has not but conceded.
Gabriel Sterling, a high Georgia elections official, mentioned late Wednesday morning that Mr. Ossoff would possible ultimately win and achieve this by a margin giant sufficient to keep away from a recount, which is 0.5 % in Georgia, calling him "senator-to-be, in all probability."
A lot of President-elect Joseph R. Biden Jr.'s capability to enact his agenda hangs within the stability. If Democrats win each Georgia races, the get together would maintain 50 seats within the Senate and de facto management of the chamber, with Vice President-elect Kamala Harris serving because the tiebreaking vote and Senator Mitch McConnell relegated to minority chief.
Mr. Biden, who urged endurance as votes had been tabulated in November, was extra cautious than some Democrats on Wednesday, congratulating Mr. Warnock on his victory and saying he was "hopeful that when the depend is full, Jon Ossoff will even be victorious."
Hearken to 'The Every day': A Historic Evening in Georgia
Because the outcomes from two extremely anticipated runoff elections roll in, management of the Senate seems to be inside attain for the Democrats.
The Republican recrimination started earlier than the outcomes had been official.
"It seems telling voters the election is rigged just isn't a great way to prove your voters," mentioned Senator Mitt Romney, Republican of Utah and an outspoken critic of Mr. Trump.
The dual Georgia races drew file ranges of marketing campaign spending — roughly half a billion {dollars} in two months — and nationwide consideration, with President Trump and Mr. Biden each campaigning within the state on Monday.
The remaining uncounted vote in Georgia appeared largely to be within the Democratic-leaning Atlanta space, resembling DeKalb County, in addition to ballots from voters within the navy and abroad. The give attention to Wednesday morning was on these remaining votes and the way they could have an effect on the margins for Mr. Ossoff. The Democrats had been successful overwhelming shares of votes within the Atlanta area, particularly of mail-in and votes that had been solid early.
The Perdue marketing campaign issued an announcement after 2 a.m. additionally predicting victory, whereas calling for "time and transparency." The assertion advised that the marketing campaign anticipated to quickly fall behind within the balloting because it promised to "mobilize each out there useful resource and exhaust each authorized recourse to make sure all legally solid ballots are correctly counted."
The Georgia outcomes confirmed each Mr. Warnock and Mr. Ossoff carrying a bigger share of the vote in county after county — notably in majority-Black areas — than Mr. Biden did in November, when he grew to become the primary Democratic presidential candidate to win Georgia since 1992.
"Spitballing right here," wrote Ron Klain, Mr. Biden's incoming chief of workers, on Twitter, "however it could be that telling voters that you simply intend to disregard their verdict and overturn their votes from the November election was NOT an awesome closing argument for @KLoeffler."
He tagged Ms. Loeffler, who on the eve of the election had mentioned she would aspect with Mr. Trump and his baseless claims of voter fraud in objecting to the certification of Mr. Biden's victory.
Ms. Loeffler spoke to supporters round midnight, earlier than The Related Press and different media shops known as the competition, and declined to concede.
Republicans had been already in search of explanations for the way the get together had ceded the White Home, the Home and sure the Senate throughout Mr. Trump's tenure.
"Suburbs, my buddies, the suburbs," said Josh Holmes, a Republican strategist and former chief of workers to Mr. McConnell. "I really feel like a one trick pony however right here we're once more. We went from speaking about jobs and the economic system to Qanon election conspiracies in 4 quick years and — because it seems — they had been listening!"
In Cobb County, a populous suburb exterior of Atlanta, Mr. Perdue had solely 44 % of the vote, with many of the votes counted; in his first Senate race in 2014, he had carried that very same county with greater than 55 %.
Mr. Perdue and Ms. Loeffler had largely sought to nationalize the race, and lift the specter of full Democratic management of Washington, portraying the get together as dangerously radical. However that message was deeply difficult for Republicans by Mr. Trump's insistence that he didn't truly lose.
In the long run, about 95 % of voters in each runoff races mentioned that figuring out management of the Senate was a "main issue" of their vote, in line with A.P. voter surveys, with about three in 5 calling it "the one most vital issue."
The Democratic candidate Jon Ossoff at a rally in December. He declared victory in a video posted Wednesday morning.Credit score…Nicole Craine for The New York Instances
With management of the Senate hanging within the stability, and the competition nonetheless too near name, the Democratic candidate Jon Ossoff widened his lead over his Republican challenger, David Perdue, to greater than 17,000 votes.
After buying and selling leads deep into Tuesday night, Mr. Ossoff remained forward of Mr. Perdue by simply 0.4 % on Wednesday — throughout the vary that might set off a recount.
Nonetheless, Mr. Ossoff, in a video message posted Wednesday morning, declared victory. (Main networks haven't but known as the race.)
"It's with humility that I thank the individuals of Georgia for electing me to serve you in the US Senate," Mr. Ossoff mentioned. "Whether or not you had been for me or towards me, I'll be for you within the U.S. Senate. I'll serve all of the individuals of the state."
If his lead holds, Mr. Ossoff, a 33-year-old documentary movie government, would turn into the youngest senator elected in 40 years. As of Wednesday morning, he was successful a bigger share of the vote than President-elect Joseph R. Biden Jr. received in November, when Mr. Biden narrowly carried the state.
Stacey Abrams, the Democratic activist and former candidate for Georgia, congratulated Mr. Ossoff. "Now Jon Ossoff will stand for all of Georgia within the combat for healthcare, jobs + justice," she tweeted. "And our nation can be all the higher for having him. Congratulations!"
Simply over 60,000 votes stay to be counted within the state, with lots of the remaining ballots coming from Democratic-leaning areas within the Atlanta space.
It may very well be a number of extra hours earlier than there's a name within the race. Beneath Georgia legislation, a candidate can request a recount if the margin of victory is lower than half a share level.
Democrats benefited from a robust turnout amongst Black voters. Based on knowledge compiled by georgiavotes.com, Black voters made up a bigger share of early voters for the runoff — practically 31 % — than they did within the normal election, when it was nearer to twenty-eight %.
Mr. Warnock, the pastor of Ebenezer Baptist Church in Atlanta, the non secular residence of the Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., was the primary Black Democrat elected to the Senate from the South. He and Mr. Ossoff ran in tandem.
Mr. Perdue, the previous chief government of Greenback Common, and Ms. Loeffler, who was appointed to the Senate a 12 months in the past and was in search of to complete the time period, had solid the race as a obligatory examine on Democratic energy in Washington in 2021. (An earlier model of this merchandise mentioned that Ms. Loeffler was in search of a full time period.) The Republicans' efforts had been difficult by President Trump's continued insistence that he received re-election, which he didn't.
The Rev. Raphael Warnock at an occasion in Atlanta. He mentioned Wednesday that his victory exhibits Georgia "is extra various, and it's extra inclusive, and it readily embraces the longer term."Credit score…Lynsey Weatherspoon for The New York Instances

Officers concerned within the Georgia campaigns consider the counties will start reporting the outcomes from their excellent ballots within the early afternoon; Mr. Sterling mentioned the secretary of state's workplace has requested they be completed by 1 p.m.
As soon as one or two of the massive counties full their depend, the Democrat Jon Ossoff, who leads David Perdue, his Republican opponent, by simply over 17,500 votes, is more likely to exceed the margin wanted to keep away from a recount — usually the set off that leads main information organizations to declare a winner.
Mr. Ossoff's margin proper now could be about 4,500 votes lower than the 0.5 % margin wanted to keep away from a recount beneath Georgia legislation.

Democrats exulted on Wednesday morning as they appeared poised to wrest management of the Senate, a feat that might hand them unified management of Congress — albeit by razor-thin margins — in addition to the White Home.
With the Rev. Raphael Warnock victorious and fellow Democrat Jon Ossoff main in a pair of runoff elections in Georgia, the highest Democrat within the Senate, Chuck Schumer of New York, proclaimed on Twitter: "Buckle up!"
"We certain didn't take probably the most direct path to get right here, however right here we're," Mr. Schumer mentioned at a celebratory information convention within the Capitol. "For the primary time in six years, Democrats will function a majority in the US Senate — and that can be excellent for the American individuals."
Ought to Mr. Ossoff's lead over David Perdue maintain, twin victories in Georgia would give Democrats 50 seats within the Senate and go away Republicans with the identical quantity, handing Democrats a working majority as a result of Vice President-elect Kamala Harris can be empowered to interrupt ties.
Mr. Schumer informed reporters that he had already spoke to Mr. Biden and Congress's first order of enterprise can be approve $2,000 direct funds to despatched to People struggling within the face of the coronavirus pandemic. However he declined to make clear whether or not Democrats would approve simply the checks or search a big bundle together with different priorities like state and native help or elevated unemployment insurance coverage.
On a convention name with Democrats, Consultant Steny H. Hoyer of Maryland, the bulk chief, performed the Ray Charles hit "Georgia on My Thoughts" for ebullient colleagues as they contemplated what their newfound energy on the opposite aspect of the Capitol would imply as Joseph R. Biden Jr. assumes the presidency.
"We'll pursue a science and values-based plan to crush the virus and ship reduction to struggling households, safeguard the fitting to high quality reasonably priced well being care and launch a plan to construct again higher powered by truthful financial development," Speaker Nancy Pelosi mentioned in an announcement.
The Georgia victories can be a robust rebuke of President Trump, beneath whose management Republicans misplaced management of the Home, the White Home and now the Senate.
"It seems that telling the voters that the election is rigged just isn't a good way to prove your voters," Senator Mitt Romney, Republican of Utah and his get together's former nominee for president, informed reporters within the Capitol. "President Trump has disrespected the American voters, has dishonored the election system and has disgraced the workplace of the presidency."
A few of Democrats' most formidable priorities may very well be blocked, nonetheless, by the legislative filibuster, which units a 60-vote threshold for any main initiative. Mr. Schumer batted away questions on a push from the get together's left flank to vary the foundations to basically kill the filibuster by reducing the brink to a easy majority.
"We're united in wanting massive, daring change, and we're going to sit down as a caucus and talk about the very best methods to get that executed," he mentioned.

With one Democratic victory in Georgia already assured and the opposite Democratic candidate main in his bid for the state's second Senate seat, President-elect Joseph R. Biden Jr. mentioned on Wednesday that he believed Democrats would take management of the Senate, a consequence that he mentioned signaled a requirement for fast motion from the nation's leaders.
"Georgia's voters delivered a powerful message yesterday: they need motion on the crises we face and so they need it proper now," Mr. Biden mentioned in an announcement.
Mr. Biden congratulated the Rev. Raphael Warnock, who beat the Republican incumbent, Kelly Loeffler, and mentioned that he believed Jon Ossoff would even be victorious in his race towards David Perdue, his Republican challenger. Mr. Ossoff leads by greater than 17,000 votes, however the race stays too near name.
Successful each seats would give Democrats and Republicans every 50 seats within the Senate, with Vice President-elect Kamala Harris having the facility to solid tiebreaking votes. Within the Home, Democrats maintain a slim majority.
"I'm happy that we will work with Speaker Pelosi and a Majority Chief Schumer," Mr. Biden mentioned, whereas additionally pledging once more to try to attain a bipartisan consensus on main points.
At a celebratory information convention in Washington, Mr. Schumer mentioned that Congress's first order of enterprise can be to approve $2,000 direct funds for People struggling within the face of the coronavirus pandemic.
He additionally advised that Democrats would make the most of their first Senate majority in six years.
Mr. Biden, in his assertion, additionally thanked Stacey Abrams, who has spent the final decade constructing a Democratic political infrastructure in Georgia and rising turnout there amongst individuals of shade.
The president-elect mentioned that each Ms. Abrams and Keisha Lance Bottoms, the mayor of Atlanta, had "laid the troublesome groundwork essential to encourage turnout and shield the vote over these final years."
The victory on Wednesday morning by the Rev. Raphael Warnock, who turns into the primary Black Democrat to be elected to the Senate from the South, confirmed that Georgia's metamorphosis from conservative bastion to battleground state was full. The altering demographics are more likely to reshape the political dynamics of this Deep South state for a era.
Till this week, Republicans held each statewide elective workplace and majorities in each statehouses. However the upset victory by Mr. Warnock in a single runoff race, and the slim lead by Jon Ossoff within the different, approaching the heels of a slender win by President-elect Joseph R. Biden Jr., confirmed that Democrats may forge a coalition to win Georgia even when the main focus shifted away from eradicating Donald Trump from workplace.
Maybe much more important, the runoff outcomes confirmed that Democrats may mobilize their various and largely metropolitan voting base to try to enhance two overtly liberal candidates — a Jewish man and Black man — to the Senate from Georgia for the primary time in historical past.
"There's no going again," mentioned Jacquelyn Bettadapur, chairwoman of the Democratic Get together in Cobb County, a as soon as conservative suburban county the place Mr. Biden received in November by a double-digit margin. "A Democrat can be a idiot to not play in Georgia going ahead."
From the earliest moments of the Trump period, Georgia emerged as a hotbed of Democratic opposition, attracting nationwide consideration and a flood of political spending after Mr. Ossoff introduced his run for a Home seat two weeks earlier than Mr. Trump's inauguration. Since then, the state has been caught up within the political upheaval introduced by a polarizing president.
In 2018, Gov. Brian Kemp, with the backing of Mr. Trump, received a slender victory towards Stacey Abrams. This week, Mr. Kemp's title prompted jeers from a Republican viewers at a Trump rally after he refused the president's efforts to overturn tens of millions of votes within the state. Democrats, in the meantime, are celebrating Ms. Abrams as a liberal hero for turning out voters and swinging the state.
Consultant Nikema Williams, the state Democratic Get together chairwoman who was sworn into Congress this week, mentioned Mr. Biden's victory gave Democrats, notably Black voters, confidence that they might win aggressive races. And early voting on this week's runoffs confirmed that turnout amongst Black voters elevated from November, a notable shift from the drop-off that's typical in runoff races.
"This election was not about Donald Trump," Ms. Williams mentioned. "This was about individuals on the bottom realizing that in the event that they present up en masse they will overcome the voter suppression and we are able to win Georgia."

As Democrats inched nearer to flipping each of Georgia's Senate seats from the incumbent Republicans, credit score started to circulation to 1 individual broadly acknowledged as being most chargeable for Georgia's new standing as a Democratic state: Stacey Abrams.
Ms. Abrams, the previous minority chief of the Georgia state Home, has spent a decade constructing a Democratic political infrastructure within the state, first together with her New Georgia Undertaking and now with Truthful Combat, the voting rights group she based within the wake of her dropping marketing campaign for governor in 2018.
Late Tuesday night time, Ms. Abrams got here near declaring victory in a tweet that praised the 1000's of "organizers, volunteers, canvassers & tireless teams" who helped rebuild the state's Democratic Get together from the rump it was when she grew to become the state Home minority chief in 2011.
With new votes becoming a member of the tally, we're on a robust path. However even whereas we watch for extra, let's rejoice the extraordinary organizers, volunteers, canvassers & tireless teams that haven't stopped going since Nov. Throughout our state, we roared. A number of miles to go…however effectively executed!
— Stacey Abrams (@staceyabrams) January 6, 2021
Whereas Ms. Abrams is broadly anticipated to run for governor once more in 2022, she is in the mean time one of the vital influential American politicians not in elected workplace. It was her political infrastructure and technique of accelerating turnout among the many state's Black, Latino and Asian voters that laid the groundwork for each President-elect Joseph R. Biden Jr.'s victory in November and the Democrats' efficiency within the Senate races.Ms. Abrams was not alone in Georgia, in fact: Quite a few different Black girls have led a decades-long organizing effort to rework the state's citizens.
"We weren't shocked that Georgia turned blue, as a result of we've been engaged on it for over 15 years," Deborah Scott, the founding father of Georgia Stand Up, mentioned after Mr. Biden's victory within the normal election.
"It's been an uphill battle," mentioned Felicia Davis, a longtime organizer in Clayton County. "As a result of right here, we're not simply girls, we're Southern girls. And we're not simply Southern girls, we're Southern Black girls."
Nonetheless, Ms. Abrams was probably the most seen face on the forefront of the turnout push. And when it got here time to chop a TV advert urging Georgians to verify the standing of their absentee ballots — voters have till Friday to treatment absentee ballots that include minor errors — she appeared within the advert reminding them how to take action.
"Don't wait," she mentioned. "Your vote has the facility to find out the way forward for Georgia and our nation. It's time to make sure your voice is heard."
Washington girded for the ultimate act of the Trump presidency on Wednesday, as President Trump, unwilling to acknowledge his loss to Joseph R. Biden Jr., threatened to rework a second of Democratic triumph right into a day of defiance and disruption by summoning his supporters to the Capitol.
However as Mr. Trump spoke in Washington at a rally of his die-hard supporters, vowing by no means to concede the presidential election and persevering with to strain Vice President Mike Pence to dam the certification in Congress of President-elect Joseph R. Biden's victory, it was clear his push was all however sure to fail.
Mr. Pence, who has repeatedly rebuffed the hassle, mentioned in a letter to Congress on Wednesday that he didn't have the authority to dam the outcomes despatched by the states.
"It's my thought of judgment that my oath to assist and defend the Structure constrains me from claiming unilateral authority to find out which electoral votes needs to be counted and which mustn't," Mr. Pence wrote.
In his remarks in Washington, Mr. Trump additionally appeared to acknowledge that the Republican candidates in Georgia, Kelly Loeffler and David Perdue, had possible misplaced their races to their Democratic challengers — a consequence he linked to the baseless claims of voter fraud and rigged machines he has made for months.
"They fought an excellent race, and so they by no means had a shot," Mr. Trump mentioned of Ms. Loeffler and Mr. Perdue, each of whom he mentioned he had spoken to.
The Home and the Senate started a joint session to formalize Mr. Biden's Electoral School victory at 1 p.m. A handful of Trump allies have mentioned they are going to problem the outcomes, objections that can drive each chambers to take a proper vote on whether or not to simply accept or reject the outcomes already licensed by the states and a course of that might stretch into the night time.
Shortly earlier than 1:15 p.m., a gaggle of Republican lawmakers objected to Arizona's electoral votes, which had been for Mr. Biden, forcing a debate over that state's outcomes.
Based on his aides, Mr. Trump watched from his residence within the White Home on Tuesday night time, because the Rev. Raphael Warnock and Jon Ossoff, each Democrats, pulled forward within the high-stakes contests that might decide which political get together would management the U.S. Senate. He additionally smarted over a report that Vice President Mike Pence had rebuffed his makes an attempt to dam the certification of President-elect Biden's victory.
A victory by Mr. Ossoff would ship Democrats management of each the Home and the Senate, a staggering loss that many Republicans blame on Mr. Trump's tardy and tepid efforts on behalf of the incumbent candidates as he as a substitute centered on baseless claims of fraud to clarify his loss to Mr. Biden.
On Wednesday morning, Mr. Trump blamed the ends in Georgia on state officers who "just happened to find 50,000 ballots," a declare that Gabriel Sterling, a high election official with Georgia's secretary of state's workplace, dismissed.
"They aren't discovered ballots," mentioned Gabriel Sterling, a high election official in Georgia, on CNN. "They're solid ballots."

Google has introduced its new OS Android Oreo 8.0 few months before. It is faster, smarter and also powerful OS. However, it was released few months before only but Android Oreo is facing several issues according to the users.
Those users who have upgraded their Android devices with this new OS, they have reported of several issues like broken Wi-Fi, battery problem, data loss and in fact Bluetooth problem.
As a whole, Android Oreo brings lots of stability and better performance with its unique features. But sometimes many problem occurs which needs to be fixed immediately without any problem.
So today, we will discuss about Android Oreo Bluetooth issues and how to fix it.
Hi, I'm having issues with Bluetooth connectivity and stability since the update to Android Oreo on my Oneplus 5.
Well, many users are fed of searching the best solution to get rid of Bluetooth issues on their devices after Oreo update. Well according to Google, the problem doesn't have any fix for now. But they are looking into it and soon they will give the solution.
In fact, Google is working faster by collecting all the data related to this issue. Mostly the problem is seen in Google Pixel and Google Nexus phones. It is advised by Google to Android users to categorize their feedback and add as much information as possible.
Many users have experienced Bluetooth problem on their devices where they cannot connect to Bluetooth device to other Bluetooth devices. This is a serious issue and not only this, but several other problems as well exist.
Even in the developer preview, there was a bug related to Bluetooth and this leads to drop the devices continuously. Even other disconnecting issues and performance problem occurs as well.
As far as the solution is concerned from Google, they are still working on this issue and hopefully you will get the problem solved soon. But in mean time, you have some of the methods or fixes which can help you out to get rid of the problem.
This is one of the first step that users should take to solve the problem. Whenever you face some such issue, try to restart your device. This may solve the issue because several factors can lead to such unwanted circumstances. But rebooting the device can do the job.
Now its done, you have successfully removed the paired devices. Now it's time to select any new Bluetooth device and pair it. This method can work and if not then move to method 3.
This is also one of the effective ways to get out of the Bluetooth error message. Reset network settings can reset all the wireless settings like Wi-Fi networks, paired devices, app data restrictions, mobile data limits and many others.
However, this can reset all the connections but your problem can be solved.
Many times, it happens that you successfully connected to Bluetooth device but face some little problems like poor connection or voice problem. In this situation, you can toggle Bluetooth on and off.
For that, you have to go to Settings > Connected devices > Bluetooth and then switch on/off toggle.
You can try this method for few seconds and see if any possible improvement in the Bluetooth connection, if not then move to next method.
Clearing cache many times can solve many issues and problem and same is with Bluetooth issue as well. Clearing Bluetooth app cache can solve the problem and you don't have to worry further for such issues again and again.
To know about Bluetooth issues, safe mode is the best way. They are caused by some third party apps. Generally, third party apps are disabled in safe mode and this can help to recognize mischievous apps. So when Bluetooth works in safe mode then it completely means that the problem is due to third party apps.
Therefore uninstalling any third party app that is recently installed can be the best choice. After that reboot your device and see if any changes have happened.
Then you will get pop-up of "Reboot to safe mode" and click on OK.
If not all the above methods work then the final solution is simply update your phone system software. This can update everything on your device and if any bugs are there then it can fix them and all the problems can be solved.
In fact, it is also recommended to reset your device and again install everything that is required. This might solve the issue with your Android Oreo. And this is also the last option left to get out of the situation.
However, here the danger part is that after doing factory reset, you can lose all your important data and files from your device. So before doing factory reset, backup all your data in safe place.
If by chance, you have not backed up your data and done factory reset, then you can recover all your data with the help of Android Data Recovery. This is one of the best software that can easily recover all the data lost or deleted due to any reason.
Well, these are some of the common Bluetooth issues solution that user can easily follow them to deal with the situation. However, Android Bluetooth issue is not a new issue as many users had already faced such problem in previous version in Android Nougat.
I hope whatever solutions I have guided you in this blog will help you to get out of Bluetooth issues on Android Oreo.

1979 Pontiac Trans Am SE
The Trans Am was contrived when General Motors decided to put a rival to the Chevrolet Camaro under their Pontiac name in 1966. Under the direction of general manager John DeLorean, this muscle car became known as the "Firebird." It wasn't his perfect idea of a car, but he decided to make the best of it. Given a direct order to make something better than the Z/28 Camaro, the engineers at Pontiac had their work cut out for them from the start.
Fast-forward 13 years to 1979, and muscle car evolution has brought about what lies before you: a Pontiac Trans Am in all of its glory. Following Burt Reynolds' movie Smokey and the Bandit, released two years earlier, the Trans Am had become an American icon that everyone wanted their hands on, and it was actually attainable for many consumers in the market.
Although the car can't actually jump over bridges like Bandit, it does have quite a bit of power, with 220 horsepower coming from its 403-CID engine. Production numbers for 1979 were the highest for any Trans Am model year, at 116,535. The car before you is featured in the Smokey and the Bandit color scheme of black with gold accents and firebird. The only option on the car was the engine, with either a 400-CID or a 403-CID CB radio also came standard and is featured here. The styling was modified slightly in 1979 for the car's ten-year anniversary.
The Trans Am wasn't made for the family, and it wasn't made with great attention to detail. It was built for the sole purpose of being loud and (somewhat) powerful. The Ram Air intake in the center of the hood is completely useless—it was added solely for show—but the NASCAR-style rear spoiler is actually functional at high speeds. The Trans Am also features a common Pontiac look in the nose, with a divided grill and square, individual headlights.
Compared to other cars of its era, the Trans Am is a classic, and it will forever hold a place in the hearts of millions. Other movie-famous cars are much harder to find and more expensive to buy, but the Pontiac Trans Am became such an icon because it was so attainable. Although it may be remembered mostly for its movie cameo, the Trans Am "screaming chicken" will forever hold a place as one of the last true greats in muscle car history.
While many consider this the last of the genuine "muscle car era," most of the competitor cars from Ford and Dodge became sad attempts at American V-8 muscle with newly added economy and efficiency. To keep the American dream alive, GM give this T-top, two-door Trans Am a massive 6.6 Liter V-8, automatic transmission, and hood paint that cannot be ignored.

Software is like a car: you need a license to drive it. Licensing options can be a confusing area for businesses. Here, we'll discuss the three most common licensing models: Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM), retail, and subscription-based.
Major equipment vendors (Dell, Gateway, etc.) offer this type of deeply-discounted software license as an added goodie when you buy a new machine. For example, if you order a new Dell workstation, you would be eligible to purchase the operating system and office-suite software at OEM rates, which tend to run about 60% off the regular retail price. While this sounds like a deal, OEM licenses have two main drawbacks. First, support is usually provided by the seller of the OEM package rather than by the software vendor, meaning you've got an extra layer of bureaucracy to wade through. Secondly, the software package is licensed to the machine, not to you, and can't be transferred. It's like having the driver's license go with the car rather than the driver. If you scrap the machine, the license goes with it.
These drawbacks render OEM licenses less desirable in the typical business computing environment. They're still a good fit, however, in very small business environments and home-user systems.
Most of us are familiar with this model. You buy the software (in a shiny box at the office warehouse, or online), and you own the license accordingly. If you want to move the software from one machine to another, you simply uninstall and reinstall. The disadvantages to retail licensing are (1) it tends to be expensive and to have a limited support-option lifecycle, and (2) the version you purchase is what you get. If there are major upgrades, you are not eligible for them. From the systems-maintenance point of view, there's the additional headache of version-tracking if upgrades upon upgrades are used. Different workstations are likely to have different versions of the software running.
Subscription licensing is based on a "lease" model where you pay a (typically) yearly fee to use the software. Any upgrades that are introduced during that time frame are included. You can also "downgrade" if needed, meaning you can use an older version if that is what your particular environment requires. Most of the subscription-based models are set up so that you end up owning the last available version of the software when the subscription expires, unless you renew and extend the program, which is usually advisable.
The subscription model conveys several key advantages to the typical business environment, and they increase with company size: It makes it easy to keep all systems on the same software version regardless of when you bought the machines. Keeping track of your licenses is simple. You get the enhanced support options that vendors offer to subscription licensees.
The main disadvantage is "out-of-the-box" pricing, which can give business owners initial sticker-shock. Doing the math, however, brings the cost back into the competitive realm, especially if you look at total cost of ownership. Renewing these subscription-based licenses is typically much less than the initial entry price, and over time this brings costs down while saving on systems maintenance costs. For the most small/medium-sized businesses, the benefits of the subscription model of licensing for all internal systems (including servers and workstations) are undeniable.
