Whatever you like to call them: potholes, craters or bumper thumpers, they seem to be everywhere in Chicago and the surrounding suburbs.
However, Chicago's snowfall budget, a reported 25-million dollars, is much different than its neighboring municipalities.
South suburban New Lenox has a population of just over 24,000 people.
"We do a very conservative budget...[we] did not plan on this happening," said Mayor of New Lenox Tim Baldermann.
Roads like Haven, though, are anything but smooth.
Mayor Tim Baldermann said that he's trying to react as fast as he can to fix road issues Mother Nature deals to his village.
"It's really been a rough year for all of us. I've spoken to other mayors as well...roads have taken a bad knock," said Baldermann.
Unfortunately, for many drivers, it doesn't appear as though the pothole debacle is going away anytime soon.
Cities and villages, like New Lenox, and their workers, are preparing for the thaw come Spring. Crews are expecting a heavy work load.

Store Valuables In the Oven? Maybe You Shouldn't
Heading away for the holidays? Whatever you do, don't put your laptop in the oven. Sure, it might be tempting to prep your apartment for a long leave of absence by hiding your valuables in unlikely places. But the more unusual the place, the more likely you'll forget it's there when you get home to heat up leftovers.
We know plenty of people living in tiny apartments that use their ovens for storage. Mostly you'll just find oven-save skillets and things like that. But some people with very small spaces have been known to store melt-able and flammable things—with disastrous results.
But the latest idea? Hide your valuables in unlikely places, like the oven, as an added defense against getting your stuff nabbed in an apartment break-in.
It's a great idea in theory, but you should only get on board if you're sure you'll remember that it's in there when you get back home and back to your baking routine. A friend of Flickr member jimray didn't, giving us these pictures as proof, along with a cautionary tale:
My buddy Kidd left his laptop in his oven while away—you know, in case of break-in or fire, it'd be safe. We're all over after grabbing him from the airport, ready to bake some cookies. Preheat the oven to 375, start mixing the ingredients, about ten minutes later, we notice a pretty awful smell. Open the oven door and, surreally enough, there's a laptop and a backup hard drive staring me in the face.
Yikes! But strangely enough, the hard drive worked fine again inside another firewire enclosure.
If you're going to try this, we suggest practicing a variation of the rubber band method: Leave a subtle-but-unusual reminder on the oven knobs, like a Christmas ornament, to jog your memory about your hidden goods.

uh, i would say just dont put things in the oven. that really seems like a risky move to me. the kitchen, however, is a great place to hide things in case of a break-in. a police officer confirmed it for me earlier this year after i reported a robbery.
My Mother-in-law did this. Came over to visit and put an old pizza box and our mail in the oven!!!! Seriously!
Of course, I turn on the oven only to have a smoke filled home a few minutes later.
It's a [censored] OVEN!!! Don't put crap in there if you don't want it at a nice & toasty 350 degrees!
Pot Roast yes. Laptop no.
seriously, i roasted my beloved g4 laptop in the oven, after hiding it while i was away for an extended stay. felt like having pizza upon my return & when the oven rang, having reached the preheated temp of 425, & i opened the door i nearly keeled over. but believe it or not, my mac survived & continued to work for another 3 years.
Are you people for real?
This is some darwin awards type $#!+.
Am I the only one who habitually checks inside the oven before turning it on? Just to make sure I haven't left an old cookie sheet in there and that the shelves are arranged to fit whatever I'm planning to bake. Of course, that same paranoia prevents me from ever storing anything flammable in there, so I guess I'm doubly safe?
Seriously, put your valuables in the fridge (in an airtight bag). Typically your fridge won't be stolen or raided, and most importantly, in a fire the stuff inside the fridge has a better chance of surviving that almost anywhere else in the house.
d3nial: Actually my coworker had his fridge and freezer raided by burglars. When the police came they said that a lot of people hide jewelry in the fridge, so burglar typically go through the fridge.
When my apartment was broken into, the thieves took some carrots and a couple of beers out of the fridge. Nothing of value, I guess they just wanted a snack.
@ d3nial
I wouldn't put them in the fridge just for moisture and humidity issues. I know you said an airtight bag, but i don't think that will stop condensation etc from forming.
If you are going to store something valuable and non oven safe in the oven (although i don't understand this concept at all) I came up with a solution for you while reading this. Take some clear scotch tape, and tape your oven dial into position. If you came home after a trip and wanted to use the oven, the tape would alert you to what you did before you left. I also doubt burglars would be adept enough to notice the tape.
I used to hide my laptop wrapped in a bath towel in the middle of the pile... what kind of thief would steal bath towels anyway?
And I'm pretty sure it's safer than the oven O_O
@benfest: No, I check the over before I turn it on as well. When I was growing up my Mom stored the bakeware in the oven, so I always had to take a big ol' pile of stuff out of it before I used it. It's stuck with me. My new roommate asked my why I did that and I told her about the plastic pyrex lids my Dad melted in the oven once because he didn't check. Now she checks, too.
I was stuck in traffic in a not so awesome area of chicago once and there was a dude walking down the middle of the road selling towels that were obviously used towels. yes they could have been his, but a crackhead will take anything he can sell to get some crack money.

Avatar Vs. District 9
- Tuesday, January 19, 2010
I had heard good things about one of the year's biggest sci-fi movies of 2009 and finally saw it this week. A bunch of aliens is oppressed by human corporate military forces who seek to move the weird-looking aliens from their home to another location. The special effects were amazing, like nothing I'd ever seen and the inventiveness of the filmmakers was endless. And after watching it, I was reminded of another film with a very similar plot that I'd seen last week, Avatar, which wasn't nearly as good. You see, I finally watched District 9 on Blu-Ray DVD.
I'd avoided District 9 because I'd heard it was awfully violent and figured I'd prefer to see it on home video. Yes, it was extremely bloody in ways I'd never seen in a movie but man, did it out-create Avatar. As my review here discussed, James Cameron's film portrays the security forces of a big mean corporation using advanced military technology to violently drive out the blue-skinned natives of a forested planet (sort of like the Imperial forces tried to do to the little Ewoks in Return of the Jedi with the same disastrous results.) But watching District 9 was the far richer cinematic experience.
In both films we have a private corporation seeking to oppress aliens. In District 9, the bug-like "prawns" are apparently refugees from some giant otherworldly transport ship that floats stalled over Johannesburg, South Africa. The thousands of aliens within were relocated to a slum outside the city and now, MNU (Multi-National United) the mega-corporation charged with removing the prawns are led by Wikus Van De Merwe, a nerdy bureaucrat who knows just how to smile patronizingly as he tells the shanty town occupants they must sign a form acknowledging they must move. When he's accidentally exposed to an alien fluid, he begins to slowly transform into a prawn and becomes wanted my MNU to be dissected for alien tissue that can be used to exploit the prawn's advanced technology. Wikus undergoes more than one kind of transformation as he is forced to see the huge injustice he's been a big part of.
The first part of the movie is shot partly in documentary style so that we follow the story as outsiders being introduced to the tender mercies of humans quite prepared to violently punish these repellent outsiders and many have recognized director Neill Blomkamp's referencing of South Africa's apartheid history in the plot. But every character in the film, so unlike Cameron's, seems fully fleshed out as characters rather than stereotypes. Avatar's Na Vi are standard issue noble savages. The prawn apparently have a class system and most of the ones in the ghetto are not only not noble, they are repulsive in their behavior. Nevertheless, we feel both the revulsion of the humans and the cruel victimization of the prawn.
Whereas Cameron has long been heralded as king of the world of special effects and action scenes, other than the beauty of the moon Pandora, almost everything in Avatar felt entirely conventional in staging and presentation as if the director hadn't had a new idea in 10 years. Blomcamp's vision is startlingly fresh and all the more intense and scary for it as the 30-year old former digital effects director uses his background to create some of the best interaction between human and "painted-in" digital aliens in film history. After an hour of Avatar, one pretty much gets used to the alien world and the effects don't feel as special. I never got used to the surprise and innovation flowing from District 9 and the drama of poor Wikus as he fights his transformation holds you till the end. Empty spectacle versus brilliant use of effects to undergird a gripping parable of new found empathy-there's no contest.

The video opens with the following text: The following is the second
part of a documentary about a comedian named Randy, whose cameo in the
film "Funny People" is catapulting him to fame.
Laugh Your Dick Off Media Presents Raaaaaaandy
A montage of clips, featuring Aziz Ansari as Randy, is played.
Part Two: Randy's Process
Aziz Ansari: Who's the comedian I watch the most? Chris Rock? Eddie
Murphy? No. Randy. I watch my own stuff so I can become a bette
Shot cuts to Aziz Ansari watching clips of himself.
Aziz Ansari (from clip): I'm not going to take a shit. I'm making you a smoothie.
Aziz Ansari (on couch): Do you see how I said that? (plays clip
repeatedly, mouthing along) In that set, I changed the dance. So it's,
I'm gonna get my fuck on. I'm gonna get my fuck on. (clip shows the
dance) And the response was way better. Not laughter wise, but afte
the show people were doing the dance. In the future, who knows? I might
be able to make a video where I teach you how to do that dance along
with the other Randy dances.
A set of clips, showing the various Randy dances, are played.
Aziz Ansari: My process is a lot of trial and error. When I said, "You
gotta take a shit," I would just go down like I was taking a shit.
(clip of this is shown) Which is funny cause it's like I've taken a
shit, but in other sets what I would do is like, "You gotta take a huge
shit." (spins around while speaking) And people went nuts. (clip is
shown) I did six spins and laughs went up 20%. I look at audio
recordings of my sets…
Shot cuts to Aziz Ansari at a computer.
Aziz Ansari: …wave files. I analyze the peaks and troughs. And that's how I tell how funny I'm being.
The shot cuts to Aziz Ansari looking through a filing cabinet.
Aziz Ansari: Oh, this is awesome. This is my file cabinet, where I keep
all my jokes. I organize them by topic. This is all material about
getting my dick sucked. This is all material about eating pussy. Right
here, this is all Jewish material. Asian girls I hooked up with.
Shot cuts to Aziz Ansari in a closet.
Aziz Ansari: I've even got some old Randy memorabilia here. I think
I've got an old headshot in here. Oh, check it out. It's my old badge.
I used to be a cop. I shot a kid by mistake and I got kicked out. It
was messy.
Randy on the Road
The shot cuts to Randy looking a large map with pushpins in it.
Aziz Ansari: This is the map. These are all the cities I performed in
and I have a little key to help me remember each city. Like, the blue
pin means it was a college gig. The green pin means I was an opener. LP
means I laid pipe, you know, had sex with someone. White pin means,
fingered her but she didn't touch my dick. Red pin, LC, laid cable.
Means I was able to take a shit at the club. When you go to these
venues sometimes you're doing multiple shows a night. A guy like me, at
some point, I'm gonna have to take a shit. Most of these are from the
Randy's Gonna Wet Ya comedy tour. A tour I did with some buddies of
The shot cuts to Aziz Ansari, Jarrett Grode, Josh Simpson, and Harris Wittels by the side of the road
Aziz Ansari, Jarrett Grode, Josh Simpson, and Harris Wittels in unison: Randy's gonna wet ya!
Harris Wittels: Yeah, Randy's been great to be on tour with. He's super chill, down to earth.
Josh Simpson: He's been really generous and it's been a blast on the
road. I mean, we're just always having fun. Playing crazy tricks on one
Shot cuts to Aziz Ansari, Jarrett Grode, Josh Simpson, and Harris Wittels standing on a cliff edge.
Aziz Ansari: You like that hat? Fuck your hat!
Aziz Ansari rips hat of off Josh Simpson's head and throws it off the cliff.
Aziz Ansari (laughing): I just threw that off a cliff.
Shot cuts to Aziz Ansari, Jarrett Grode, Josh Simpson, and Harris
Wittels eating lunch. Aziz Ansari slaps Harris Wittels sandwich into
the trash and laughs.
Aziz Ansari: You guys see that.
Harris Wittels: That's a good shot Randy.
Aziz Ansari: What do you got there man?
Josh Simpson: Beef sandwich.
Aziz Ansari: Can I have a bit? Is it good?
Aziz Ansari throws the sandwich into the trash and laughs.
Aziz Ansari: I threw you all's sandwiches in the trash.
Shot cuts to Jarrett Grode, Josh Simpson, and Harris Wittels sitting together.
Jarrett Grode: It's not like work. This is not like regular work.
Harris Wittels: I can't believe I get paid to do this. I love it. I would pay to do this.
Josh Simpson: I actually do pay to do this.
Harris Wittels: We all pay a little bit to do this.
Jarret Grode: Randy, he's absolutely had a big impact on my act.
Shot cuts to Jarret Grode performing standup.
Jarrett Grode: You ever notice how one more cookie has a tendency to turn into ten more cookies?
Aziz Ansari: You suck! You ever noticed how one of your shitty jokes turns into ten of your shitty jokes.
Audience laughs.
Jarrett Grode: You guys are gonna love this.
Aziz Ansari: Boo.
Audience: Boo.
Aziz Ansari: Randy! Boo.
Jarrett Grode: Seriously guys, wait, wait, wait, whoa. That booing is kinda fucking up my head.
Aziz Ansari: That joke sucked.
Shot cuts to Aziz Ansari performing standup.
Aziz Ansari: You all ever noticed how one more cookie turns into ten more cookies!
Audience explodes in laughter.
Aziz Ansari: Damn, where'd all these cookies come from?
Shot cuts to back to Jarrett Grode, Josh Simpson, and Harris Wittels sitting.
Jarrett Grode: Randy has never taken anything from me. He has…
Josh Simpson: He upgraded the joke. He doesn't steal jokes he upgrades them.
Jarret Grode: Yeah. Upgrade.
Shot cuts back to Aziz Ansari doing standup. He is acting like he is eating cookies like an insane person.
Aziz Ansari: Give me some milk!

Who We Are
Accord 3.0 provides strategic consulting services to engage in complex, multi-party problem-solving to tackle difficult problems in areas such as partnership development, facilitation, planning, training, conflict assessment, and management strategies.
Our seasoned team – composed of respected professionals in planning, law, business, governmental affairs, public policy, environmental policy, communications, and finance – brings a multi-sector perspective, informed expertise, and a suite of comprehensive solutions and refined tools to each client. We like to call it "21st century problem-solving."
We are just as comfortable with analysis, strategy, and investment as we are with process engineering and implementation. Contact us and start the conversation.
Our work in diverse domains – urban infrastructure, coastal zone management, civil engagement and others – is driven by the notion of "legacy". The more enduring problems we face on the planet have social, political, economic, technological, cultural, and legal drivers. Hence, the need for "non-routine problem solving" strategies rather than the same old problem solving habits that made the messes we and our successors now face.
While we don't turn away other work, our special talents rest with legacy projects that have some or all of the following attributes:
Problems, issues and projects that absolutely require convergent thinking, collaboration, and alignment if more optimum and elegant solutions...
Join The Discussion
We have no shortage of pressing problems. The issues we are interested in at ACCORD3.0 are "legacy" problems, things we inherited, contributed to, and must help make better as a legacy to the future. I think of issues like jobs, growth, and economic development; security in a post 9/11 world; food and fresh water for everyone; stabilizing climate change; or reducing poor student performance in our educational systems.
The hard truth is all of these problems cross conventional boundaries and technical remedies by themselves are insufficient. No one sector -- public, private, or civic –owns them. No one agency of government has full jurisdiction to solve them...

Demarcating the transition from the rural south to the blustery north is the 900-kilometre-long stretch of Norway that extends from Trondheim to the island-studded coast near Narvik. Easily the biggest town hereabouts is Trondheim, Norway's third city, a charming place of character and vitality, and a definitive cultural hub for the midriff of the country. The city is readily accessible by train, plane and bus from Oslo, but push on north and you begin to feel far removed from the capital and the more intimate, forested south. Distances between settlements grow ever greater, travelling becomes more of a slog, and as Trøndelag gives way to the province of Nordland the scenery becomes ever wilder and more forbidding – "Arthurian", thought Evelyn Waugh.
North from the modest little industrial town of Mosjøen and nearby Mo-i-Rana, is the Arctic Circle – one of the principal targets for many travellers – at a point where the cruel and barren scenery seems strikingly appropriate. Beyond the Arctic Circle, the mountains of the interior lead down to a fretted, craggy coastline, and even the towns, the largest of which is the port of Bodø, have a feral quality about them. The iron-ore port of Narvik, in the far north of Nordland, has perhaps the wildest setting of them all, and was the scene of some of the fiercest fighting between the Allied and Axis forces in World War II. To the west lies the offshore archipelago that makes up the Vesterålen and Lofoten islands. In the north of the Vesterålen, between Harstad and Andenes, the coastline of this island chain is mauled by massive fjords, whereas to the south, the Lofoten islands are backboned by a mighty and ravishingly beautiful mountain wall – a highlight of any itinerary. Among a handful of idyllic fishing villages in the Lofoten the pick is the tersely named Å, though Henningsvær and Stamsund come a very close second.
As for accommodation, the region has a smattering of strategically located hostels, and all the major towns have at least a couple of hotels, though advance reservations are strongly recommended in the height of the season. In addition, the Lofoten islands offer inexpensive lodgings in scores of atmospheric rorbuer, small huts/cabins once used by fishermen during the fishing season.Read More
St Olav
St Olav
Born in 995, Olav Haraldsson followed the traditional life of a Viking chieftain from the tender age of 12, "rousing the steel-storm" as the saga writers put it, from Finland to Ireland. He also served as a mercenary to both the duke of Normandy and King Ethelred of England, and it was during this time that he was converted to Christianity. In 1015, he invaded Norway, defeated his enemies and became king, his military success built upon the support of the more prosperous farmers of the Trøndelag, an emergent class of yeomen who were less capricious than the coastal chieftains of Viking fame. However, Olav's zealous imposition of Christianity – he ordered the desecration of pagan sites and the execution of those who refused baptism – alienated many of his followers and the bribes of Olav's rival Knut (Canute), king of England and Denmark, did the rest: Olav's retainers deserted him, and he was forced into exile in 1028. Two years later, he was back in the Trøndelag, but the army he had raised was far too weak to defeat his enemies, and Olav was killed near Trondheim at the Battle of Stiklestad.
Olav might have lost his kingdom, but the nationwide Church he founded had no intention of losing ground. Needing a local saint to consolidate its position, the Church carefully nurtured the myth of Olav, a process of sanctification assisted by the oppressive rule of Olav's successor, the "foreigner" Knut. After the Battle of Stiklestad, Olav's body had been spirited away and buried on the banks of the River Nid at what is today Trondheim. There were rumours of miracles in the vicinity of the grave, and when the bishop arrived to investigate these strange goings-on, he exhumed the body and found it, lo and behold, perfectly uncorrupted. Olav was declared a saint, his body placed in a silver casket and when, in 1066, Olav Kyrre, son of Olav's half-brother Harald the Fair-Haired, became king of Norway, he ordered work to begin on a grand church to house the remains in appropriate style. Over the years the church was altered and enlarged to accommodate the growing bands of medieval pilgrims; it achieved cathedral status in 1152, when Trondheim became the seat of an archbishopric whose authority extended as far as Orkney and the Isle of Man.

Here's a quick quiz for you: What does Jack Frost look like? Young or old? I confess I've never had a mental image of Jack. In fact, until seeing "Rise of the Guardians," I never gave him any thought at all. The kids around me at a preview screening seemed more expert, perhaps because they know the inspiration for the film, William Joyce's book series, "Guardians of Childhood."
In those books, unread by me, Joyce imagines a loosely knit Avengers-style federation of the guardians of childhood. Most of them are famous: Santa Claus, the Easter Bunny, the Tooth Fairy, the Sandman and so on. Jack Frost's reputation suffers sadly in comparison. Voiced in the film by Chris Pine, he finds himself literally invisible. When he visits Earth, people are able to walk right through him. Since he is a spritely boy, he finds this depressing, although many kids have probably felt the same way.
Why is this so? The Man in the Moon never explained it to him. The Man in the Moon functions in the story as sort of a symbolic nature god, who never does anything but shine enigmatically in the sky.
This is a hyperkinetic 3-D action comedy, with the characters forever racing on Santa's sleigh, hurtling down chutes and zooming through tunnels that rework the same 3-D illusions over and over again. The characters aren't all referred to by what we might call their Earth names, and we get such as North, a broad-shouldered Santa (voice of Alec Baldwin); Tooth, the fairy (Isla Fisher), and Bunny (Hugh Jackman).
There's also a villain, called Pitch by others and sometimes resentfully the Boogie Man by himself. This dastardly fiend (voice of Jude Law) is envisioned as all darkness, teeth and claws, determined to put the Guardians out of business. In this moment of crisis, the team calls on Jack Frost to lead their resistance, and in the process, he inevitably redeems himself, becomes visible and achieves a personal victory. Now we know what he looks like. I was reminded of Peter Pan, although he isn't green.
There's an audience for this film. It's not me. I gather younger children will like the breakneck action, the magical ability to fly and the young hero who has tired of only being a name. Their parents and older siblings may find the 89-minute running time quite long enough.
Still, let it be said that director Peter Ramsey and his art team have created a crisp, colorful fantasy world, sharper-edged than many feature-length children's cartoons. Especially fetching: The Tooth's countless followers, called "Baby Teeth"; Bunny's ranks upon ranks of Easter eggs and Pitch's scary manifestations. I thought by the end of the picture, Pitch had earned some sort of redemption, but I guess he goes back to wherever Pitches come from.
As we mourn Abrams' macho Star Trek obliteration, it's a good time to revisit that most Star Trek-ian of accomplishme...

Recipe by Dole
"Grilled chicken is sliced and tossed with fresh salad greens, tomatoes, bacon bits and blue cheese, then dressed with creamy blue cheese dressing."
Hmm. None of these ingredients are on sale today.

3/4 pound
boneless, skinless chicken breast halves
Olive oil
Salt and ground black pepper, to taste
1 (7.75 ounce) package
DOLE® Extra Veggie™ with Grape Tomatoes
avocado, peeled and cubed
2 slices
bacon, cooked, drained and crumbled
hard-cooked egg, peeled and chopped
1/4 cup
crumbled blue cheese
Bottled blue cheese dressing, to taste
Hubs SAID he liked his salad but frankly, it sounded weak. But then again, he didn't top his with the blue cheese dressing because he doesn't care for it. He used Hidden Valley Ranch. He skipped the avocado because he hates it. And he, without any deliberation, chose to exclude the crumbled blue cheese because, you got it, he hates it. He has no idea what he was missing. Who wants a salad that's "just all right?" First, right off the bat I made my own blue cheese dressing rather than using some inferior bottled stuff. I made a small batch of "Absolutely the BEST Rich and Creamy Blue Cheese Dressing Ever!," also on AR, and it was so good it probably would have made ANY green salad better. I used a creamy Gorgonzola, an Italian blue cheese. I used red-ripe Roma (plum) tomatoes and a good amount of bacon – which, of course, remember, more is always better. As for the chicken, I didn't bother to grill it when I had perfectly cooked rotisserie chicken breast to slice up. A simple and simply delicious salad, easy to throw together, particularly if you make a good blue cheese dressing ahead of time and take the short cut of a rotisserie chicken.
Great salad, but an absolute MUST is making your own dressing. Not to have freshly made blue cheese dressing would be a sin. Use "Absolutely the BEST Rich and Creamy Blue Cheese Dressing Ever!" recipe found on AR. Your family and guest will rave about this salad.

The N.C. Department of Transportation opened bids for the project to rebuild 11.5 miles of I-40/440 and one contractor says it could do the job for almost $63 million less than NCDOT engineers estimated it would take to do the job.
The team of Granite Construction and RS&H Architects-Engineers-Planners Inc. is the apparent low bidder with a bid of $130,129,000. NCDOT engineers estimated the project cost to be $193,428,882.
NCDOT will now look at the contractor's plans to see if it can indeed do the project for that price.
If the review is successful, the bid will be awarded in three weeks.
That means we're just weeks away from the start of a three-year reconstruction project on 1-40 between US 1 and US 64/264.
Despite advance publicity about the project, it comes as a surprise to some who use the road regularly.
"I heard nothing about it and I use it everyday,'' said commuter Howard Byrd.
Because the roadbed is worn out, crews have to replace 11.5 miles of it.
"We're going from the ground up so the existing concrete comes up and new pavement gets put back in its place," said NCDOT's Victor Barbour.
The construction will force traffic into two lanes every day for the life of the project, creating what is anticipated to be considerable congestion on the interstate night and day.
To help alleviate that, NCDOT is hoping to convince 30,000 drivers a day to take alternate routes.
"A lot of the surrounding network of roads will see an increased volume and travel times anywhere are going to go up significantly," admits NCDOT construction engineer Dennis Jernigan.
Those who live near Rock Quarry Road, close to I-40 worry about the impact of overflow traffic on their neighborhood.
"It's going to make people take other routes; Crosslink or down Martin Luther King. It's going to be crazy for little while," said area resident Gerard James.
At the other end of the project, there's Tryon Road.
Tammy Couch lives in a development along Tryon and she says the road is already congested.
And she isn't looking forward to it becoming an alternate route to the interstate.
"It's going to be crazy; it'll be overwhelming. It'll be massive," Tammy predicts.

Enrique Iglesias joined the anchors of ABC's Good Morning America and Univision's Despierta America Monday as they launched a new partnership between ABC and Univision called Fusion, a cable network that targets millennial Latinos.
Fusion is based in a suburb of Miami, where Enrique lives, and he spoke about his connection to the city on GMA . "Well, I moved to Miami when I was 9 years old. And all my good friends live there. There's something about that town. I don't know what it is," he said.
"If you love water sports, if you love the ocean it's a great place to live," Enrique continued. "And it's like a melting pot: you know Cuban people, Dominican people [and] American people."
Enrique also took to the GMA stage to perform his hit song, "Tonight (I'm Lovin' You)" and his new single "Heart Attack," which will be featured on his 10th studio album, due in early 2014.

The parking lot at MetLife Stadium is going to look a lot different than what we are used to seeing at the Linc.
The NFL is banning grills and won't allow fans to use empty parking spaces to set up their tents and tables.
Officials say this is a standard rule at the Super Bowl. That's because more than half of the stadium's 28,000 parking spaces will be taken up by security and television equipment.
Fans can still bring their own food and drink, and you can still "tailgate" from inside your own car.

Top Ten Black ActorsDon't agree with the list? Vote for an existing item you think should be ranked higher or if you are a logged in, add a new item for others to vote on or create your own version of this list.
The Top Ten
1Denzel Washington
The Great Debaters, American Gangster, Deja Vu, Inside Man, The Manchurian Candidate, Man on Fire, Out of Time, Antwone Fisher, John Q, Training Day, Remember the Titans, The Hurricane, The Bone Collector, The Siege, He Got Game, Fallen, The Preacher's Wife, Courage Under Fire, Devil in a Blue Dress, Crimson Tide, Philadelphia, The Pelican Brief, even Much Ado About Nothing, the best I think - Malcolm X, Ricochet, Mo' Better Blues, Glory, The Mighty Quinn... plus some others which I haven't watched, each performance just as awesome I would expect.
Dig this, the man is on a whole different level from these guys or any other actor hands down!
Dig this, the man is on a whole different level from these guys or any other actor hands down!
Mr. Washington's body of work speaks for itself, has paved the way for the next generation as did Mr. Poitier. The quality of product that he puts out. The countless times he was passed over for an Oscar. Jeffery Wright, James Earl Jones, Eddie Murphy, why are these name not mentioned when we are speaking of talent?
First, He's his own peron. He's a smart thinker. Hollywood doesn't own him, nor control his moves in his choice of movies. He does't put his personal business out to make news. He seem to have married a very secure, smart, and spiritual woman, which is a super plus for any man. He represents well.
[Newest]That Equalizer movie, and the Book of Eli... Awesome!
More comments about Denzel Washington
2Morgan Freeman
Morgan Freeman is not only the best black actor but also the best actor in hollywood. Take a look at his resume-The Shawshank Redemption, Bruce Almighty, Million Dollar Baby, The Dark Knight etc..
First let me start by asking how the hell did Cuba Gooding Jr. Get in the top ten of this list? And also Morgan Freeman is the #1 reason why I can believe God is black.
Morgan Freeman is by far the greatest person on earth, hands down.
More comments about Morgan Freeman
[newest]"They used to call me crazy Joe now they call me batman! "... Classic!
3Will Smith
Will Smith is my man. so sexy and I like him in the movie "Pursuit to happiness" and "ALI".. Denzel Washington is my Idol when it comes to acting he deserve his oscars. I like him in Philadelphia. Morgan Freeman is a good example for"No small rule to a Great Actor"; Samuel L. Jackson is the perfect guy for either drama or action very versatile; Sidney Poitier- this is the man that started all. an Oscar the first African -American who won the Oscar my respect to him 100%. Forest Whitaker- of course Forest is fine actor of his time really good when it comes to acting. ; Cuba Gooding Jr. who forgot Cuba the guy who will take everything in the name of Arts. ; Jamie Foxx of course the oscar earner best example of great and fine acting... this are my best actors at no ranking they are all number to me...
"The best actor alive, he has the best success on the box office and people love watching him. BEST ACTOR ALIVE PERIOD... "
Starred in a lot of great films such as: Men in Black, I, Robot, I Am Legend and was originally meant to play Neo in The Matrix
More comments about Will Smith
[newest]He can do what they can't, be it serious, heartbreaking, funny, dumb or smart, I can't name another person in this list that can act like will smith.
4Samuel L. Jackson
Samuel L. Jackson is the Man!
His acting ability is brilliant and when he speaks seems poetry. Watch meany of his movies.. Snakes on the plane, Pulp Fiction, The Negotiator, etc...
it is impossible to act snake on the plane
More comments about Samuel L. Jackson
[newest]Samuel is totally the best actor if his age and type
5Forest Whitaker
He's just an amazing actor - after Vantage Point, Last King of Scotland, the Colour of Money... he is undoubtedly one of the best actors out there!
This is one of the most under rated actors in the world. He can really get into a role. I would like to see him picked to play a top role in a movie. He can bring it.
He doesn't get the attention he should. He is a great actor. Mr. Whitaker is right up there with Morgon Freeman & Denzel Washinton.
More comments about Forest Whitaker
[newest]He really is UNDER RATED. I can't think of one bad movie that he stared in. One of my FAVORITES!
6Laurence Fishburne
After seing Mr. fishburne in the play of Thourgood Marshall I don't know if Denzel or anyone in this top 10 can do better!
Incredible actor my favorite actor than anyone I think he should be number 1 great actor
Loves golf! Good enough for meMore comments about Laurence Fishburne
7Danny Glover
Awesome and underrated, Strong actor
Should have had more roles over the years
Should have had more roles over the years
Predator 2, lethal weapon series and saw proved that he is the best.

Eddie Murphy is a top character and far more talented than 11More comments about Eddie Murphy
9Mario Van Peebles
Peables looks like morgan freeman cause of the black skin
Greatest actor of all time
10Cuba Gooding Jr.
He not only plays diverse parts but, he also makes you believe them. I wish there were more clean cut, wonderful actors as he. Thank him for giving me so many happy hours. When can we see more of his acting ability? He is in the top percentage of all actors.
Great guy, I hope he continues to be blessed and successful in all his endeavors. I love everything about this man.
I love everything he play in and he could play different characters, not the same ol thing all the time.

He CRAY doe! He funny as hell.
Martin is a great actor
13Don Cheadle
Great actor. Love him in Devil in a Blue dress and he should have won and award for his roll in Rawanda.
Great actor. He plays diverse roles. He is one of those actors that one would watch a movie just because he's in it.
Cheadle is cool and allsided. Everything about him is so down to earth and he speaks really intelligently. He's played everything from a Brooklyn gangster to a hotel owner in Rwanda.
nonofyallMore comments about Don Cheadle
14Jamie Foxx
Largely under rated anybody who has seen the soloist or django knows he is the best out of last couple of years!
HE is an amazing actor! Just watch Collateral or Django unchained and you will share my opinion... He should be at least tenth in my opinion...
He outshines Will Smith in Ali. Should be top 5
15James Earl Jones
Thank you so much for all of your dedicated work
Between James Earl Jones & Morgan Freeman there will never be any actors that can come close to compare
Deserves better than 14th tooMore comments about James Earl Jones
16Sidney Poitier
Without a doubt one of the greatest actor ever to be on the silver screen, what he did for black actor is amazing, the younger people will vote for the will smith's and other actor, but if they knew what this great man injured to make life, easier for all black actor today, they need to watch this man and be amazed by his ability
I love his morals and values. He is a man's man... Or should be in my opinion.
His book, "Measure of a man"... Was a wonderful read. I would read another book by Sidney Poitier anytime.
I believe all men should aspire to have the same morals and values as Sidney Poitier himself.

I don't know a lot about Sidney as a person, but after watching some great black actors and some FANTASIC films he was in a time when things was not so easy. He was one of those on the stepping stone of life pathed the way for others be you colour or working class, or white or any colourMore comments about Sidney Poitier

18Michael Clarke Duncan
R.I.P. michael Clarke Duncan. He was exceptional in The Green Mile
19Clarence Williams III
20Terrence Howard
Definitely belongs on this list. Awesome job in August Rush and a great job in Iron Man. A truly profound actor.
He makes you believe in his character. He is intellegent as well as handsome. However his heart is in his acting look at the movie August Rush. What a movie.
Who is Mario Van Peeble anyway? Makes so sense why he is above such a dynamic actor. I have never even heard of him.
21Ving Rhames
I think he is one of the greatest actors ever! He can be mean and ruthless so much make you scared to leave your house because you forget it's a movie; he can be the sweetest fatherly type that just brings tears to your eyes! Now here's my other reason he is fine and sexy and can play that role in all the above movies, therefore he should without a doubt be ranked right up there with the best, not way down here he is in my "top 10" maybe people don't get the name with the actor, as it is kinda different!
I think he should move up the rating ladder. He has had roles in many of the movies I've watched.
He's one of the best black actors ever, not sure why he's down here in the list. I hope soon he will be up there with the other good ones.More comments about Ving Rhames
22Bill Cosby
He's a great actor and trail breaker. He led the way so than many more could follow. He started out as a comedian, so unique and so talented.

Most commanding black actor since Denzel first burst on to the screen. 34th... Really?

I think he's a great actor. What I like most about Tyler Perry is that he gives life to his characters, whether he's playing Madea or some other character actor that person come across as a real person, a person we can all relate to. He has taken us to another level. We see casts we wouldn't normally see and I'm loving it. Thanks Tyler.

Durham Police and the Durham County District Attorney's Office recently completed a three-month drug market intervention operation, which resulted in arrest warrants for 21 people.
The undercover operation targeted street-level drug dealers and drug houses. Officers arrested violent offenders and those with a previous felony drug conviction.
Seven non-violent offenders with no prior felony drug convictions participated in a "call in" on Sept. 27 where they were put on notice. Those seven people were warned that if they get arrested on any felony or serious misdemeanor charge in the next year, the charges against them from the drug market intervention operation will be activated and they will be arrested. The charges from the operation will eventually be dropped if they do not get arrested for one year. In addition, the seven "call in" participants were directed to resources to help them with issues such as addiction, jobs and education.
"We realize that some people make poor choices but have not shown a substantial pattern of criminal activity. This organization sees value in offering them the opportunity to make a life change and avoid a felony charge that could impact their future," said Deputy Chief Larry C. Smith.
Investigators spent three months targeting specific areas and suspects, based on complaints from residents. During the operation, investigators served nine search warrants and confiscated cocaine, heroin, marijuana and pills.
Investigators made the following arrests:
Warrants have been issued on the following people who are not in custody at this time:

More valuable than a paycheck is a warm meal after squeezing a gallon of sweat out of that battered and beaten piece of meat known as your body that just spent fifteen hours building the Main Stage. More valuable and more elusive - Elton John said it best:
…While the others climb reaching dizzy heights
The world's in front of me in black and white
I'm on the bottom line, I'm on the bottom line
And I gotta get a meal ticket
To survive you need a meal ticket
To stay alive you need a meal ticket

Red Bull Stratos releases the final data from Felix Baumgartner's breathtaking skydive last October. Seems he got to Mach 1.25, not the woeful Mach 1.24 of the previous estimate.
Another hard-core drop test impresses, or at least gets adrenaline junkies to pay attention.
Sponsor Red Bull says it has stopped work on Felix Baumgartner's planned jump from 23 miles up as it contends with a lawsuit over the project.
Shares plunge 17.6 percent in intraday trading after the enterprise software behemoth warns that its third quarter revenues will come in short of analysts' projections.
Daredevil Felix Baumgartner's freefall to Earth is now watchable through a dramatic first-person video.
PCs and laptops are at "make or break point" in the UK as sales continue to plummet, hitting nearly three years of freefall.
The recent freefall in Apple's stock price was triggered by massive selling from several large hedge funds, according to Reuters.
The extreme skydiver sets a record for the highest manned balloon ascent and highest freefall in his bid to go supersonic.
The wait will drag on for daredevil Felix Baumgartner, as his attempt at a breathtaking, record-setting freefall continues to be bedeviled by the weather.
The daredevil parachutist wants to be the first person ever to hit Mach 1 in a freefall. But today's jump has been aborted because of gusting winds.

Promising better data integrity, start-up Ten's Complement has released a new file system for Macs based on Oracle's ZFS. It's an approach Apple began but dropped.
Sun releases news on the ZFS patent infringement suit, including prior art and a change of venue.
Sun to protect Apple's Leopard release.
NetApp may be taking on more than it bargained for in suing Sun.
What does NetApp's lawsuit against Sun for ZFS patent infringement mean for open source? Probably not much.
Apple confirmed statements by Sun's Jonathan Schwartz that Leopard will use ZFS, correcting an executive who Monday suggested otherwise.
Sun says that Apple's forthcoming Leopard operating system will use the next-generation file system called ZFS.

The state playoffs are only two rounds old, but seven No. 1 seeds are gone in Class AAAAAA.
The lone survivor is Norcross, a 32-9 winner over Brookwood. Norcross, the defending state champion, is the top seed from Region 7, which also sent Collins Hill and North Gwinnett to the quarterfinals.
Region champions eliminated on Friday were Camden County (Region 1), Lovejoy (2), Hughes (3), North Cobb (4), Alpharetta (6) and Archer (8).
Other things learned in the highest class:
- In the game of the night, No. 1-ranked (but No. 3-seeded) North Gwinnett ended the season of the classification's only unbeaten team, Archer, 34-32 on a 27-yard field by Michael D'Angola with 7 seconds left. D'Angola's 29-yarder was partially blocked on North Gwinnett's previous drive.
- Hillgrove stunned second-ranked Camden County for the second time in four seasons, winning 34-21. Hillgrove beat Camden 28-26 in the 2010 second round when Camden was ranked No. 1. Though 360 miles away, Hillgrove is the only school with two road wins at Camden since 2000.
- Collins Hill, a co-region champion in Region 7 but seeded No. 2, beat Alpharetta 48-0. That is the largest margin of victory against a region champion in the first two rounds of the playoffs since the field went to 32 teams in 1996. Colquitt County's 52-6 victory over North Cobb on Friday ranks second.
- In beating North Cobb, Colquitt County won its 12th road playoff game since 2009. Colquitt is 12-3 in road playoff games under coach Rush Propst and 11-0 on the road in the first three rounds. No other school has won that many road playoff games in any five-year stretch.
- Cinderella teams are Dacula, McEachern and Lowndes. Dacula, a 28-21 winner over Peachtree Ridge, was 1-9 last season and a lightly regarded No. 2 seed out of Region 8. McEachern, a 22-21 winner over Hughes, was written off after losing its start quarterback, Ty Clemons, to injury two weeks ago. Lowndes, a 23-18 winner over Lovejoy, started the season with an embarrassing home loss to Newton but persevered to make its first quarterfinal since 2010.

McEachern at Collins Hill

The North Gwinnett vs Archer game was absolutely amazing. Great playing for both teams. Archer's QB has some serious talent. It was a hard fought win for NG. All road games to the ship. Who ever said it was going to be easy? Great games this Friday despite the weather. Phenomenal football all around!

I still can't believe it. A visiting team from 200 miles away had more fans than the home team. Heck our band had more people than Lovejoy had fans. Disgraceful! I know Sportsnut was embarrassed!
Lovejoy had one first down the whole freaking first half and that was on a penalty. A Penalty! The whole first half. Then, they had only one first down the whole 3rd quarter. Three quarters of football and Lovejoy had two first downs! One thing for sure, Lovejoy won't be bridesmaids this year. Where are you Sportsnut? I looked for you all night with my Colquitt County binoculars. You said we didn't have a chance, not even a small chance. Yes I'm bragging. I'm tooting our horn. But when we travel as far as we did, have more fans than you did, and out play the bridesmaids of all bridesmaids like we did, we've got a right to brag.
But next week everything changes. We go to Norcross. Lowndes has never been to Norcross. I've never been to Norcross! (I've been every where Lowndes has ever been.). They are good. They are magnificent. They are the cream of the crop. We's just some small country boys trying our bestest. But we's going to Norcross, and we's some proud Vikings! Hear that? We's some proud Vikings!

@AVIKINGFAN I really wanted Lowndes to beat Norcross. I really did but after your comment. You know as well as I do. Two personal fouls at the end of the game was all the difference. Each one of your drive burn a quarter off the clock good stragedy . How do you stop a fast scoring offense. By keeping them on the sideline. After your comment I'll just say this save your money don't go to Norcross next week because that's going to be a very quite long ride home. Go Norcross!!!!! And I don't like anything about Norcross. There fans act like they are entitled. Kinda like you sound right now

I've never really been a fan of Gwinnett County's football programs even though I respect their achievements, but I really dislike Region 1's arrogance. I'm glad Camden is out (even though they're relatively new to Region 1), and I hope Lowndes and Colquitt Counties join them on the outside looking in this weekend. To hear their fans you'd think they invented the game.

Love the Viking Band – best in state
Love the tradition of Lowndes Football
Unfortunately I remember the Lowndes – Grayson game. Win or lose play with class. Should be a great game. Classic North vs South Georgia.

6:05 am
Norcross is a mystery, they just hang around and only play in the second half. They will play colquitt for the dome, Dacula not so good, but get all the praise coach Jones your coach of the year. North will play Collin Hill for a rematch. Colquitt looks the strongest of the group but just can't beat a Gwinnett triple dose. Region7 is proving their worth, if only Mill Creek was in another region it would be all gwinnett. They may finish in the top 10 and not play. They hammered Dacula.
November 23rd, 2013
7:08 am
Lovejoy fans shouldn't feel bad about not showing up for the football game. Maybe they don't care about the stupid sport of football. Also, why should the football team expect random people from the school to pay and attend games if they're doing well. I don't remember the last time the football team or its family members attended concert band concerts and they've won awards. I don't remember them showing up for debate or cheerleading competitions. Everything is geared around the football team. You and other over the top fans need to get over yourself about the importance of football in society. It means almost nothing in the grand scheme of things.

@ Leftfield

Please go finish reading "Dreams from my father" – then continue your plight for world peace.

First off, I'm left-handed. Second, since when is football supposed to be a right-wing sport? I know you get a little upset when the supremacy and grand importance of high school football is challenged. I'm sorry for you that the truth hurts. I guess you really are that much of a simpleton that you assume the left in my screen name refers to left-wing. Sounds like you are the one who needs to read and make sure it is at a much higher level. Football magazines and five servings of Sportscenter may actually decrease your intelligence.
November 23rd, 2013
7:41 am
I never implied or inferred football is for common sense thinking conservatives.
My point is you're a pansy – it's that simple.
Stay off the football blogs and move over to HuffPo where you can present your amazing intelligence for all the world to see….

@Leftfield – those were some of the most USELESS words ever posted on a FOOTBALL blog…there are no band concert blogs or cheerleading blogs, but football, (much like those who work and pay taxes in this country) provides the economic engine that allows other revenue sapping sports to exist. Take away football and a LOT of athletic programs would cease to exist at the next level. Arts have their place, but don't get it twisted – FOOTBALL is where the economic rubber meets the road. I could take this to a whole different level deconstructing your argument, YOUR opinion; but I am here to talk FOOTBALL, not it's relevancy in society…..

@ Old Bear….Amen!!
@Jimb….Norcross doesn't just hang around. Their offense isn't great this year, but their Defense is. They beat opposing offenses into submission and then the mistakes start happening and boom by the end of the game it looks like a blow out. Dacula not good….are you crazy. I think anybody who gets them from here on out is going to have their hands full. When Dacula played CH early in the year they gave them fits.
@Username….Well Done!!
November 23rd, 2013
8:10 am
I'm having a tough time figuring out Norcross too. I only had one chance to see them and it was the beat down by Washington (Miami, FL). The fact that they shutout CH makes it even more perplexing.
November 23rd, 2013
8:12 am
I'm no pansy. I probably have more muscles in my hangs than you have in your whole body. Football is not common sense. It's for brain scrambling.
Your words are the ones that are completely useless. You're exactly right. It's pretty sad that AJC has devoted space to knuckleheads like yourself to brag about how great their high school football team is. Some in here aren't even still in high school, which is pretty sad in itself. I guess your justification for society makes sense, if something sells it must be good. I guess sex shops, strip clubs, and brothels need to all be legal and opened on every corner. By the way, the sports are not supposed to care about making money at the next level, it's supposed to be for the better of the "student athlete". Yeah right, it's about not paying a college athlete to bash their bodies, yet paying the old coach $5 million. You don't see any hypocrisy in that? I guess we should get rid of the science department at UGA, since it's not bringing in money and must be subsidized with state money.

Dacula fans know exactly who our team is. A bunch of kids with alot of fight and desire, led by a coaching staff that knows what they our doing. It is the perfect example of what high school football is all about. We weren't supposed to be in the running for our region….#2 seed, Not going to go far in the playoffs, (AJC had us as underdogs in both games, 14 point dog last night) and we are in the field of 8. Do we match up with Colquitt? Probably not, but we will show up and play and do it with class regardless of the outcome. We are just a result of what happens when you have a great youth football program. Gwinnett continualy gets disrespected by the rest of the state that we are not that good….but the proof is in the list of State Champions. Don't think I am biased, I grew up in south Georgia and still support my alma matter, but facts are facts.

8:31 am
All four of my sons went to Norcross, and I agree that Norcross is a mystery. But I know that they have worked hard to get where they are right now. I actually think that is their secret — slow and steady. They are blessed with some great athletes and coaches who have been there a long time and truly care about the kids. I'm sure we have our fans that feel certain ways like every community does, but for the most part Norcross supporters are loyal and good sports. As far as feeling entitled, most of the fans that I know around here simply pull for the kids and are proud of their accomplishments.
November 23rd, 2013
8:38 am
@ JIMB, Thanks you won me $25 from my friend. We knew someone would post something about Mill Creek not being in the playoffs. If only we were in another region………They beat Dacula on opening night, but we fought to the end and the final score was somewhere around 11 points difference. They have a HUGE offensive line and couldn't make it in the top four of their region???????? 7AAAAAA was loaded this year I agree, but it is what it is. If i'm not mistaken, they were 4-4 in region play, that doesn't get it done. Remember 3700 students, Dacula a student body of 1970.

I understood the frustrations at the posters who were debating with Leftfield, but when they inserted comments like, "Dreams from my father, HuffPo, and left wing" then that pretty much blows their validity to me and well, shows their "true colors". I am African American, liberal, voted twice for Barry, and read Malcolm Gladwell but I also enjoyed reading and following HS sports, so there is enough room in America for both view points to me. Some posters have a difficult time sticking to discussion of the game and resort to criticizing fan bases and other irrelevant aspects of the sport always sprout these off hand discussion/debates.
Now onto football, the Gwinnett Co chesthumpers always amaze me when there are still two Region 1 teams alive and supports percentage wise that when you have more teams in the dance you should have more in the QFs. Truth be told, NG should not be there….the Archer D Coord gave that game away with the last prevent defense call.

@Titletown USA
Got it, I'm a racist. Thank you so much for clearing that up.
So, according to you, the Archer defensive coach lost the game, not the players on the field – is that a correct assumption?

Don't read to much into the shutout when Norcross played CH. CH is a much different team now and they had several key injuries the first time they played. The game was at Norcross and if those two teams play each other in the Dome for all the marbles, it will be a completely different game. I don't know if anybody is playing better on both sides of the ball (CH). They are going to be tough to beat if they don't beat themselves.
November 23rd, 2013

AVikingFan: Can you please tell me what kind of offense Lowndes ran last night? It couldn't have been the outdated useless wing-t that ran for about 336 yards against the fastest hardest hitting defense in the state. We have been told that the ole three yards and a cloud of dust just can't work in today's football. So what was the Vikings secret? In only one week they installed and perfected a new offense! That is impressive.
November 23rd, 2013
9:39 am
Well Titletown, don't assume anything – not going bring race into it – not relevant – didn't vote for the President and I'm not a Caucasian. North won, Archer lost. It happened on the field, we did x's and o's better that night. It was not pretty, but W's keep you on the path to the dome. Looking forward to Hillgrove Friday night. What gets lost here sometimes is when people like sports, they can like sports at any level. Some like PeeWee, Pop Warner, HS, College, and or Pro. A fan is short for fanatic; most who post here probably fit that description about something….
November 23rd, 2013
9:46 am
Archer and North were moving the ball on each other all night. It's not like they had been stuffing North all night and then at the end switched defensive schemes and North suddenly marches down the field.
I think someone posted early in the game that whoever got the ball last would win.
November 23rd, 2013

Dacula just won again, don't have to travel down south. Didn't mind having to make that drive, but the State Patrol on Highway 319 don't give any breaks. Drive safe Colquitt fans, we look forward to a great game. I also bet that Colquitt brings more fans to Dacula than Peachtree Ridge did last night. I guess they brought 200 with them. Then again, they had to drive approximately 12 miles.PATHETIC!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The P-Tree Ridge players and Coaches deserved better.

The Archer-North game was an epic battle of two talented and well coached programs. The game was riddled with big plays and made for a very entertaining match-up. The Archer fans should be proud of the progress they have made. BTW-nice facilities and classy fans/parents. Could have 3 of the final 4 in 6A from Reg 7…………………..Go Dawgs!!!

@Ghost of 316, people have been doubting Dacula for the last 25 years. The fact is this is Dacula's 12th trip to the quarterfinals since 1988, which is the most of any Gwinnett county public school during that time span. We have also won 10 region championships in 5 different classifications. That is the most in the history of the state. I challenge anyone to find me a team in the state of Georgia that has gotten more out of their talent in that time. Mill Creek is over double the size of Dacula so I don't want to hear their whining. Mill Creek had a losing record vs Dacula when Coach Maloof retired and we hired the previous coach (I won't even mention his name due to the painful memories). We got rid of him and the administration hit a homerun in hiring Tommy Jones. 1-9 last year and in the quarterfinals in Coach Jones' 1st season. Unbelievable. Tommy Jones played for Dave Hunter and coached under Kevin Maloof. You can't have a much better pedigree and he is absolutely the coach of the year in the entire state of Georgia in any class!!!!!

Football Dad. – whoever you are today. I did not mean to appear to sound entitled in my last post. I apologize to ALL for bragging. But my gosh we had just defeated a team that had been in the past two year's Title Game! Sportsnut had told us over and over we didn't have a chance. So yeah, I was excited, and I am proud of our Vikings. Say what you want to about that.
Next Friday it will be like David and Goliath when we make the long trip to Norcross. We have all the respect in the world for them. Most of their starters were starters last year and won the Title. We respect that, and know our season very likely will end next week. But we never expected to get this far. We never expected to beat Lovejoy. So yeah, like I said above, we're excited, we're happy, and " we's some proud Vikings!"
Grayram, I hear ya man. Old offense! "Three yards a cloud of dust won't beat Lovejoy" per the
guru of the AJC blogs, Mr Sportsnut himself! Apparently he's never watched Grayson play!

I know this is a 6A blog (the BEST anywhere), but there is no action on the AA blogs and I have an AA question. I heard Thursday that Ken Cofer, coach at Cook Co. High, have been booted out. Has anyone else heard that? If he has, not surprisingly, the Valdosta Daily Times missed it.

Think the CC Packers actually like to travel the long distances, as long as it's not in SCHOOL BUSES. They did that when they went to Hoover in AL, and Propst admitted it was a big mistake! (BTW Hoover just barely squeaked by last night in the AL playoffs, by one point to Florence). Reason Packer players like to travel? He always takes them up the day before. Motels can be fun for kids that age. Only difference this time is they will be traveling on Turkey Day. Knowing Propst, he will find a Cracker Barrel for them and they will pig out on Thursday. Really don't see Dacula being a match for the "woodchoppers". Just put Bull Barge out there on defense by himself, he can handle it. The only real matchup the Pack will have will be in the state title game. CCHS 31 Dacula 13

Lowndes 23 Lovejoy 18 Final. Lowndes was better than Lovejoy on Friday night. No excuses. Enjoyed the game and their band. They have great fans also. I thought it was cool when the officials made the Lowndes band stop playing and the fans made enough noise to get a false start from us immediately after. Wish we had that type support.
Now, I am a region 1 fan. Lets go Colquitt and Lowndes.
November 23rd, 2013
1:50 pm
@Sportnut to have you in our corner for a short while. Lovejoy is young and will be loaded next year just like this year. Don't know the 2014 schedule but I hope you guys are on it again. That matchup is becoming a healthy rivalry. Hopefully, the pack can continue to play well on offense. We handled NC and Newnan well. I am baffled though. I have seen the Pack play 7 games in person and 2 on TV and the rest on the radio and it appears they haven't been challenged. I expected more from NC. Our O has been a bit inconsistent all year. Are we peaking at the right time or have we yet to see a great defense? Hopefully, we are peaking but time will tell. We can hope in the meantime.
Go Pack.
