One thing the city of Atlanta has always been known for is it's Music Talent, so what better place for the Annual One Music Fest. This year Atlanta's Mayor Kasim Reed's "Welcome Letter" was presented at the press conference, along with the other sponsors, Mountain Dew, Ford, Miller Lite and Sol Fusion, all showing their support towards the Atlanta Music Scene.
The One Music Fest announced that it will be held on August 27th 2011, at the Park Tavern at Piedmont Park. It was announced that Phife Dawg of a Tribe Called Quest will host the event and a roundtable discussion was held at the press conference which included the Fest's featured artist Anthony David, which performed LIVE (Video).
"There is a lack of representation for soul, progressive hip-hop, alternative and rock, represented under one roof, in the format of music festivals in Atlanta. We have noticed that while there are many pockets of individuals that share taste in the same music, rarely do you see them share in this together. ONE MusicFest was created with the idea of music as the universal language. Over time we aim to grow this fest into a phenomenon and bring together different sectors of individuals through a unique music platform," stated J Carter, SolFusion Founder and ONE MusicFest Producer.

Chili's(R) Grill & Bar New Menu Recipes Are Hand-Crafted With Freshest Ingredients and Bold Flavors
DALLAS, Jan 26, 2010 /PRNewswire via COMTEX/ -- With television networks dedicated to all things food, specialty grocery stores selling the freshest produce and meats, and hundreds of dining options on every corner, today's diners are smarter and expect the best. Consumers want dishes prepared daily with care, expertise and quality ingredients. Chili's(R) Grill & Bar is rising to those elevated expectations with the launch of a new menu, introducing 25 new items and revised recipes of guest favorites.
More than 100 blogs are dedicated to barbequing, and a little less than half focus solely on perfecting barbeque ribs - with topics ranging from smoking procedures to sauces. It's no secret consumers crave them, and it's no secret that Chili's has been serving up the best Baby Back Ribs for nearly 25 years. Now, those ribs are even better than ever. Slow-smoked in-house over pecan wood chips for a sweet, smoky flavor, Chili's new ribs are then triple-basted with savory BBQ sauces until they're fall-off-the-bone tender.
Ribs aren't the only category on Chili's menu where consumers will find elevated recipes and ingredients. Handcrafted sandwiches like the new BBQ Pulled Pork sandwich are kicking up the flavor profile. Fresh-cut spicy cole slaw, caramelized onions and Gouda top pulled pork, served on the guest's choice of a sesame seed or wheat bun. Perfecting the sandwich is Chili's own sweet and tangy Shiner Bock(R) BBQ sauce made from Shiner Bock(R) beer. Brewed in Shiner, Texas since 1909, Shiner Bock is a famous Texas native like Chili's.
"We're taking the time to make it like our guests would at home - so they don't have to - by making handcrafted dishes featuring excellent ingredients," said Wyman Roberts, president of Chili's Grill & Bar. "Our bold flavors reach new heights with revised recipes, and more than 75 percent of the menu has been transformed giving our guests new options."
Taking a fresh look on salads, Chili's is bringing back a guest favorite with a twist. The new Caribbean Salad features fresh pineapple and mandarin oranges, dried cherries and cilantro on a bed of crisp lettuce. These craveable flavors are hand-tossed together and topped with honey-lime dressing.
Chili's Bottomless Express(TM) Lunch speaks to guests looking for more variety at lunch as well as great value. Served with freshly made chips and house-made salsa; guests can pair the house salad with one of Chili's delicious soups - all bottomless - for only $6.49. Start with Chili's house salad - now featuring hand-chopped lettuce topped with freshly cut tomatoes, red onions, cucumbers and fire-roasted corn, grilled for a smoky kick. Then pick from any of Chili's hearty soups, like the new Chicken & Green Chile Soup, loaded with chicken smoked in-house, green chiles, tomatoes and rice and accented with cilantro and avocado slices.
Chili's Grill & Bar is the flagship brand of Dallas-based Brinker International, Inc. (NYSE: EAT), a recognized leader in casual dining. Chili's offers a fun, energetic atmosphere and a distinct, fresh mix of grilled American favorites at more than 1,500 locations in 29 countries and two territories. Other Brinker brands include Maggiano's Little Italy(R) and On The Border Mexican Grill & Cantina(R). Brinker also holds a minority investment in Romano's Macaroni Grill(R).

If you make a deal with the devil, can you still save your soul?
To avoid becoming the love-slave of a depraved criminal vampire, bounty-hunter and witch - Rachel Morgan - is cornered into a deal that could promise her an eternity of suffering. But eternal damnation is not Rachel's only worry.
Her vampire room-mate, Ivy, has rediscovered her taste for blood and is struggling to keep their relationship platonic, her boyfriend, Nick, has disappeared - perhaps indefinitely, and she's being stalked by an irate pack of werewolves.
And then there's also the small matter of the turf war raging in Cincinnati's underworld; one that Rachel began and will have to navigate before she has the smallest hope of preserving her own future.
The third thrilling title in The Hollows series, and still running strong! The story opens with Rachel on the brink of a gamble she is certainly hoping to win - if she does, she gets everything she needed to wrap up the big finish from Book 2 and stands to outsmart a demon... but if she fails she'll lose everything and not even get a chance to say goodbye to those who care about her as she is ripped from the mortal world and taken into the Ever-After.
This instalment not only revels more of Rachel's history, and links to Trent Kalamack's family and the true cause behind Trent's need for great wealth and their history at the 'holiday camp' all those years ago, but also the real history of hate between Elven and Demonkind and why the Elves have let the world believe they are extinct.
Rachel also discovers a lot more about her true nature and how much further she can push her powers than she ever dreamed of. Her relationship with her human boyfriend Nick is strained, to say the least, by the events in Book 2, and this is further explored here. With a reaffirmation of bonded partnership with Ivy, the break in the relationship with Jenks, a surprising series of offers given and withdrawn by a mystery Were, and some serious sidetrips to places she would never have dreamed of going, there is plenty to keep the avid reader locked into this wonderful world Kim Harrison has built for us to enjoy.
Overall, if you can forgive the odd temporal 'jerk' as your subconscious realises the timelines don't quite match up in places - with patches of intervening 'uneventful downtime' being utterly ignored - then the story is brilliant, as expected. Rachel is a character who has to do some questionable things in order to survive, but rarely with the intent to harm or in anger, yet still retains an air of... well, it could be claimed 'innocence', but I think more accurately 'uninformed naivety'. As I write this, I am already reaching for the copy of A Fistful of Charms with anticipation.
No city has as many amazing stories to tell as London. Brought low by the Black Death, burned to the ground, and blitzed...London always rises from the ashes and new generations of children are born to make its history.
Let twelve of these children lead you on an incredible journey from a simple Saxon settlement by the Thames to a vibrant, Global city hosting the 2012 Olympic Games.

A real basket case at Merion Nobody knows for sure how those spiffy wicker baskets atop the fagsticks at Merion Golf Club originated, but this much is certain: They have been around for more than a century — and they will be on display during the U.S. Open this month. This also is clear: Those wicker baskets are extremely precious. "Each night, they are collected in a basket and placed under lock and key," Merion director of golf course management Matt Shaffer says. And, believe it or not, each wicker basket has a name. "Some of them are named after former superintendents here," Shaffer says. "One of the men who had a large cranium, well, that wicker basket is called Mr. Potato Head." — H.R. "I know he's helped people fnancially, with things such as mortgages and fnancial obligations," his brother, David, says. "Those weren't insignifcant contributions." Now, as the U.S. Open draws near, Shaffer's passion for his profession is being rewarded. Those who have a stake in his work applaud the effort. "There's no one in a U.S. Open that has more infuence on the success of a U.S. Open, if you take Mother Nature and set her aside, no one other than the golf course superintendent, and Matt is just fantastic," says USGA executive director Mike Davis. "The things he's done to Merion to make it just a better course day-to-day for the members, but also for the U.S. Open … I just can't give him enough accolades." Merion general chairman Rick Ill agrees. "Nobody ever doubts where Matt stands on anything," Ill says. "He's an asset to Merion, and he gets what we're trying to accomplish." Shaffer, 60, senses what is about to happen. Being part of it is the ultimate perk. "We're in good shape," Shaffer says. "If the weather's normal, we'll win the World Series. We'll stone it cold. I know we will." The plaque on the 11th hole at Merion GC symbolizes where legend Bobby Jones completed his Grand Slam by winning the U.S. Amateur in 1930. Photo by Howard Richman 48 GCM June 2013 Pennsylvania boy makes good Merion Golf Club, shoehorned into 125 acres, probably isn't much bigger than Shaffer's hometown. Martinsburg, Pa., located approximately 100 miles east of Pittsburgh, is a black buggy, Mennonite town. Has one red light. A shoe factory. Two retirement centers (that is a key reason the town sells rare greeting cards for great-grandchildren). Shaffer's parents, Luther (a banker) and Miriam (a nurse), raised their four children with impeccable values. They were adamant, Shaffer says, never to seek glory. Their lessons remain part of his fber. "Mom instilled in us to never hold a grudge," says Shaffer. "If I get mad, after 20 minutes, I'm fne. Life is pretty simple when you're never mad at anybody. I've seen people let jealousy and rage destroy their lives." At a tender age in his life, Shaffer had reasons to be mad at the world. His fngernails were rounded, like an asthmatic, and he was brave, Long says, never letting his family see him cry when he was hospitalized. Shaffer had to spend three months a year in an oxygen tent, and, on a daily basis, Miriam sterilized the room Matt shared with his brother.
