1/4 less saturated fat
3/2 more vitamin A
Twice the omega-3 fatty acids
Three times more vitamin E
Seven times more beta carotene
Four to six times more vitamin D.

Salt Lake, Provo, West Valley City, Spanish Fork and Orem are just some of the Utah communities that recently approved or considered ordinances allowing residents to keep backyard chickens.The Angry chicken wants to eat healthier...but it is hard to do when illegal.
Brad was born in the North Georgia area, and his family moved to North Wilkesboro, North Carolina when he was two years old. North Wilkesboro is a small town about thirty miles from the Blue Ridge mountains. He started singing in church at a very young age while his dad would play the guitar for him. He eventually would begin singing in churches around the southeastern area. While in high school, he became part of a gospel trio that would perform in the local area until he graduated. After Brad graduated from high school, he joined the Air Force full-time. While in active duty, he concentrated more on his military service then on music. He would eventually transfer into the Air Force Reserves and get back to doing what he loved. He started performing again in churches located in the southeastern area, while working at industrial plants full-time. He would later get the opportunity to perform the national anthem for several minor league games in Chattanooga, Tennessee. Brad always had a deep love for country music and recalls singing along with artists like George Strait, Don Williams, Gene Watson and others as a boy. He decided to start writing and recording his own material. His desire is to keep real country music alive, and reach out to people with his music. Brad currently lives in Smyrna, Tennessee. He is a proud parent of a 11 year old boy from a previous marriage. He credits God for his supportive family, musical opportunities, and the inspiration needed to write songs.

jUNk.38 was born out of a need for change...In a lyrical sense, to bring back the days when a person with a microphone in hand actually had something to say...In a musykal sense to experiment and manipulate audio waves that cause emotion and guide the listener on a journey...Whether that journey takes them to a dark place, a warm summer day, the inner working of my mind, or perhaps a new emotional experience the listener has yet to come across...I started producing my own beats out of necessity as I had no producer that could capture what I wanted to present...Until this incarnation of my musykal spirit I had previously played guitar in, and lent vocals to, a few punk bands, an industrial band and filled as lead guitarist for a folk band...So when I was told by a the producer/programmer of the industrial band, that "You [I] rap better than you [I] sing" thus was born the subliminal shadow of society known as jUNk.38...Check it out and as ever...KEEP IT STRAIGHT...Peasche

Rentenbach has worked on two high schools for Hamilton County Schools, Signal Mountain Middle/High and East Hamilton High, in the last few years. The Signal Mountain project was completed in 2008 at a cost of $42.5 million. That school is 262,000 square feet, compared to East Hamilton High, which is 287,000 square feet when it opened in 2009. The newer school cost $41.9 million to build.You figure the company has a core of employees, but most of the people will be local hires.
Stewarts Creek, modeled after Siegel High, will be about 350,000 square feet.
......
"When we built Signal Mountain, we had 250 to 300 people on the site. This project would take that many people or more," she said. "But that's steady employment those people will have for 22 months."

The Vision...I hope you enjoy the song I picked and are enjoying some of the local talent we have here in Smyrna.
It's pretty simple... Music and Worship combined. In the Gospel of John chapter 4 a conversation takes place between Jesus and a woman who has come to a well to draw water. During this encounter Jesus reveals a truth about worship. He instructs the woman that a day is coming when people will worship the Father in "spirit and truth", and that the Father is looking for these types of worshipers. Cliff Moore Music is dedicated to providing an atmosphere for people to accomplish this. Through simple songs we hope to inspire the listener to examine themselves, and lift high the name of Christ!
For concertgoers looking for a way to avoid traffic snarls and long lines for this year’s Bonnaroo Music Festival June 9-12 in Manchester, Tenn., festival organizers have just the thing – a 60-mile, overnight bike ride to the event.This is pretty cool. Odd that it starts AFTER the concerts have already commenced, but it still looks like fun.
The inaugural Roo Ride literally takes the scenic route and cuts down one’s carbon footprint. The ride departs June 11 from the city of Smyrna to Manchester, taking in points of interest along the route such as Civil War battlegrounds. The route ends a short distance from festival grounds where riders can camp and enjoy the event, bike back or hitch a ride back with Roo Ride organizers.
Locally, the strategy of Carpe Artista is to revitalize the historic part of Smyrna by infusing the physical area with the arts and development of the arts community. The vision is to create a hub of artistic activity through the creation of an artist development center based in a coffee shop. This will be located in one of the historic buildings on Front Street.On their facebook page they gave this update for the program.
The coffee shop will provide a perpetual venue for the presentation of art to the community. It will be a place for ongoing teaching of curriculum for artists in their specific art form as well as leadership and character development. In addition, Carpe Artista will work to connect other arts organizations throughout Smyrna, Rutherford County and the greater Nashville area

A local Backyard chicken group has organized its THIRD Coop Tour to show people backyard chickens. This community outreach seems a good wayt o show people how they can go about starting their own chicken program. Sadly it pretty much has to already be legal to do something like this.Walk it. Drive it. Or bike it. Alameda Backyard Chickens has teamed up once again with Bike Alameda to sponsor the Coop Tour 2011.Angry Chicken finds his short legs make biking hard....so very angry.
It's the third running of the event showcasing eight homes -- along a nearly four-mile trek -- that have a variety of chickens and chicken coops proudly displayed in their yards. Its purpose: to educate Island residents about raising and keeping backyard chickens.
"It's not as straight forward as it sounds. You have to have a safe, clean place for them to sleep. The coop has to be safe from predators like raccoons, aggressive neighborhood cats or chicken hawks," said Jacqueline Cooper, 48, a two-year member of Alameda Backyard Chickens and co-organizer of the tour. "I have an aviary coop, one woman has a tiki themed coop, another has a much more developed urban farmstead with meat rabbits and vegetable plots. So, it's to show people a variety of coops, chickens and answer any questions they may have about raising their own."
Mark your calendars! The StoneCrest Women's Show returns on Thursday, June 30th, and it's bigger and better. Giveaways every 15 minutes! Free health screenings, food, live entertainment, wine tasting, cool jewelry, make-up tips and tricks, and demonstrations on Zumba and various cosmetic procedures!
