- OpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 9/27/2014I have been in Atlanta for 12 years and have dined all over the city for both business and pleasure. The meal I had was the finest of any restaurant to date. Well done. It is great to have a gem like Seed in East Cobb.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Memorable BirthdayPhenomenalDined on 9/25/2014We went to Seed for a birthday dinner and noted that on the reservations - Keath, our waiter, came to our table and introduced himself and wished the birthday girl a great night. Keath was extraordinary throughout the night, attentive but not intrusive. There were 4 of us for dinner and we each had something different and amazing. Chicken Schnitzel, Pork Chop, Filet, and the Duck Confit were our entrees and we had the Cornbread and Shrimp Sambal for apps. Each bite was better then the last. Everyone just melted over each bite of food. The deserts were unbelievable you just wished you could eat like this every night. This place is hands down my new Atlanta favorite - I will be coming back, and I suggest you come and try this place too.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Loved ItLovetoeatDined on 9/22/2014This was my first time. The food was fresh and from local farms etc. Great Selection.Special Features:
- First Time- Great ExperienceTokyoTomDined on 9/20/2014Outstanding service; major emphasis on locally sourced foods, most items gluten free. I had the fish special (Pollock) served with the roasted cauliflower & Brussels Sprouts- fish cooked perfectly. The missus had the chicken schnitzel with miso-mustard sauce- served very hot, the arugula greens wilted after sitting on top of the schnitzel, maybe would have been better served on the side. Chocolate Cookie in a cast iron skillet was tremendous! Great wine & beer list.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Always outstandingOpenTable Diner Since 2007VIPDined on 9/20/2014We love this place! Finally, an incredible restaurant has landed in East Cobb. We eat here 2-3 times per month between Seed and adjoning wine bar, Stem. We are never disappointed and always enjoy the food and the friendly atmosphere. Every member of the staff is welcoming and they make us feel at home. The menu has something for everyone as well as ever changing specials offered by the chef. We've dined in some of the best restaurants in and around Atlanta and Seed tops them all!Special Features:
- Great food, not the best serviceOpenTable Diner Since 2013Dined on 9/18/2014Food was very good. Service was incredibly slow. We sat down at 7:20and did not have a drink in front of us until 7:45.Special Features:
- Wonderful Birthday dinnerBirthday64Dined on 9/18/2014Loved the Happy Birthday on the menu. The food was excellent, and we were able to carry on a conversation. The birthday cake was unbelievable.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Outstanding find in East Cobb!OpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 9/18/2014What a fantastic restaurant! The atmosphere, service, and food were excellent. We had the scallops, and they were incredible.
- SusieDined on 9/17/2014Love this place, food is great always! Service great friendly waiters!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Nice place, crap food.C52kslDined on 9/16/2014Great service, well decorated and comfortable but we spent 90 dollars on a very basic dinner, and it wasn't that good to boot. My hanger steak was chewy, and not very well prepared. The only good thing food wise was the soup, but a very small portion for the 7.00 price tag. Great place to sit and enjoy some drinks, not a good place to eat. My 2nd and last time eating there.Special Features:
- 5 star across the boardOpenTable Diner Since 2004Dined on 9/15/2014We went to Seed for my husband's 35th birthday. The menus were specially printed with a birthday wish for him. The service was fantastic the atmosphere was great, the food was amazing. We had the calamari appetizer, my husband orderd the pork chop and I had the hanger steak. Everything was cooked perfectly with just the right side items for each dish. Being farm to table, everything was in season and very fresh tasting. We had the tres leches cake for dessert which was delicious and came with happy birthday written in chocolate and a candle. Everyone knew we were there for an occasion and the manager came over and wished my husband a happy birthday as well. One of the best dining experiences we've had in metro Atlanta.Special Features:
- A Wonderful EveningTennisgirlVIPDined on 9/14/2014This was only our 2nd visit to Seed Kitchen & Bar, but we will definitely be returning. To begin with, our party of 4 was seated at the Chef's Table. Taylor, who was outstanding, was our server for the evening. He made great food and wine suggestions and we were not disappointed. Two of us had swordfish, one of his suggestions, and it was absolutely delicious, quite possibly the best preparation of swordfish that I have ever had. The other two had items from the Cobb Restaurant Week menu (which was a very good deal) and they also were very happy with their selections. Appetizers and desserts were also enjoyed. It was just a perfect evening.Special Features:
- East Cobb Almost AtlantaOpenTable Diner Since 2009Dined on 9/14/2014Whenever Cobb gets a decent non chain resturant it is good news and Seed is more then decent. Seed is an upscale quality resturant experience and saves some customers the trip into Atlanta and others a reason to go OTP ( but barely). Both inside and outside seating is nice, the service excellent, and menu interesting. Go enjoy, dine well, and don't forget your wallet as dinner for two with wine can be over $100Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Amazing!narfDined on 9/14/2014Everything from the service to the food was amazing. The whole staff was very attentive and the brunch was wonderful. My husband said probably the best biscuit and jelly I've had. The make a lot of their sausages, breads, jelly etc in house and use seasonal items. We were celebrating a special occassion and Seed surprised us with a dessert..Tres leches !!!! Hit it out of the park. We can't wait to go back for dinnerSpecial Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Fantastic in every way!HappyEastCobberVIPDined on 9/13/2014We've eaten at Seed at least a dozen times, and have never had anything but exceptional food, service, drinks, and attention. We love this restaurant, as well as Stem, the wine bar next door. East Cobb has finally arrived!! No need to drive beyond the Merchants Walk area for a great night out! Rivals anything you'd find in Buckhead or Roswell.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Wonderful as always!tdmmomDined on 9/13/2014We absolutely love Seed's smoked chicken tacos! Actually, we've enjoyed every dish that we've eaten at Seed, including the BK Veggie Grinder, Hanger Steak Frites, oysters, deviled eggs, salads, brussel sprouts and cauliflower, among other dishes. The desserts are divine, also! Seed has a very welcoming atmosphere. The staff are wonderful!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- LOVE The SeedCobberDined on 9/12/2014Best restaurant in Atlanta! Easy to get to. In our neighborhood. Always great food especially the desserts!Special Features:
- Great food and serviceEXCELLENTDined on 9/11/2014They make their own pasta and it was delicious! I just wish they have you more of it to enjoy! Our service was excellent. Very knowledgable and friendly! We sat on the patio in the evening and it was very nice!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Consistantly superbOpenTable Diner Since 2013Dined on 9/9/2014Seed is one of our favorite East Cobb hot spots. It's located in a shopping center, but it has the atmosphere and aethetics of anything that you could find in Buckhead. I have not had anything on the menu that I didn't enjoy and the wait staff is very attentive and well versed on the selections.Special Features:
- Exceptional!!!justthistimeDined on 9/8/2014Really was a wonderful experience. From the decor, ambiance, service and food - it wasn't just going to dinner - it was an event and a very pleasant one. The glass design of the restaurant enhances the farm-to-table feel by making you feel like you're in the greenhouse, bringing in a lot of natural light and keeping it light and open. Food was amazing. The fresh made pasta seemed like they had rolled it out 2 minutes before serving it. Everything was done with finesse and delicacy without feeling over prepared. The Seed cocktail was delish. One of the best restaurants I've been to in a very very long time - will definitely be back.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- OutstandingvalureguyDined on 9/6/2014We had a great experience at Seed for our anniversary. They were ready for us, honored our request for quiet table with a nice booth. Anniversary was often mentioned by servers, hostess, etc. Menu had "happy anniversary" with our name on it, nice touch! Server was outstanding, very personable and enthusiastic about restaurant! Food was excellent, both had special, also had great desert! A VERY nice experience on all counts.Special Features:
- Girls Night OutLiveYourDreams37Dined on 9/6/2014Seed did everything they could to make a special evening for my 4 guests and me. It started with menus printed "Happy Birthday Annie" and seating at the chef's table. Then our server, Cassie, was attentive, warm and knowledgeable. Our food was 100% perfect and beautiful on the plate. Knowing our birthday girl was vegan, a Happy Birthday plate came out with three delicious sorbets. We loved every moment of our time at Seed.Special Features:
- LUNCH WITH THE GIRLSFINEDININGCAPVIPDined on 9/6/2014My daughters and I had lunch at Seed on Saturday, September 6. We had the white sangria drink special that was quite good and very refreshing. One of my daughters had the asian fish sandwich; she said it was good, but had a little too much kick. My other daughter had the grilled cheese and tomato soup which she said was fine. The side dish of french fries was enough for two people. I had a salad with some pears on it; actully there wasn't much of it. Overall the restaurant is very pretty with a good feel, but the food is priced a bit more than I think it should be. Will probably go again since it is close.
- Didn't expect outstandingEatonWrightVIPDined on 9/5/2014Although OTP, this is one of the best restaurants in ATL. The food is beautifully prepared and well presented. Top quality ingredients and good portions. Service was exceptional. I would rate it much higher than recent dining at JCT Kitchen to give a comparison. Outstanding ambiance. Not to miss.Special Features:
- Top notch in the burbsATLLocalVIPDined on 9/5/2014Excellent wine program; Inventive food; Nice setting; what more do I need to say? Give it a trySpecial Features:
- SuperbtwalterVIPDined on 9/4/2014Seed is nearly perfect. I won't bore you with what we ate. Everything is as close to perfect as it gets. The only issue is location. It's in East Cobb and if you don't live in East Cobb, you cannot get there from anywhere.Special Features:
- Seed never disappoints!SallybDined on 9/3/2014I always look forward to dining at Seed! The menu is interesting and unique and the food is delicious. On this visit I had a salmon salad with perfectly grilled salmon and my friends had BLTs that they loved! It is always a special occasion when I get to visit Seed!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- birthdaySafaDined on 8/31/2014Kristen greeted us at the table with birthday wishes and the birthday cake was amazing. THe food was delish and I LOVE the American harvest dirty martini.Special Features:
- Delicious!OpenTable Diner Since 2012Dined on 8/31/2014Food was delicious as always!!! So glad it's in East Cobb.Special Features:
- Great restaurantLavonlinVIPDined on 8/31/2014This was the first time I had gone to brunch at Seed. The menu choices were great. I chose Eggs Benedict with Crab. When it arrived the English muffin was burned around the edges as was the Canadian bacon. It didn't look very appetizing and the crab was tasteless. I couldn't believe this great restaurant would let a meal leave the kitchen looking like that. I think I'll stick to dinner at Seed.Special Features:
- AwesometoddnjudiDined on 8/30/2014Keith our server was great with knowledge of menu and recommendations.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Best Place to Gather with FriendsAnnieDined on 8/29/2014Wonderful service as always, knowledgeable staff and great food!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- OpenTable Diner Since 2012Dined on 8/29/2014Terrific service from entrance to exit, again. We will definitely be back.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- 1st visit - already a faveOpenTable Diner Since 2011Dined on 8/29/2014Had gotten several recommendations & tried it. Service was great, the feel was a fresh and modern ambiance. Appetizers were very good, but maybe could have been a bit more generous. My wife had the pork chop, & I had a steak. Both were perfect & the sides delicious. All in all a very pleasant dining experience. We will be going back soon.Special Features:
- LOVE SeedSueZVIPDined on 8/29/2014Seed is my favorite restaurant in East Cobb. Wonderful food and wonderful service!!Special Features:
- Good but a bit pricyOpenTable Diner Since 2008Dined on 8/29/2014Been here a couple times because the food is excellent. But it's an expensive night out. So we don't go all that often. I had the scallop entree which was delicious, but it was a lot closer to appetizer size than entree sized. I'm not looking for a pile of food, but some of the portion sizes could use a little adjustment.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great food! Unique & delicious!LadydiDined on 8/27/2014A little pricey for the neighborhood but worth the treat!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- We had a great time!HungryGirlDined on 8/25/2014It was the first time I went to Seed for lunch, and I took a friend that had never been there. The requests I made at reservation were honored (that is why I love Open Table!) and she loved the restaurant. We explained we did not like spicy foods and by mistake the waiter did not know that the soup of the day was a little spicy. However before we even said anything he exchanged our soups and apologized. He gave us a very kind attention yet gave us privacy to chat and catch up. Dinner time is always busy at this great restaurant and I enjoyed that lunch is quieter, I will go back for sure !Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Anniversary dinnerCamp6077Dined on 8/24/2014We walked in and when my husband gave our name we were told "Happy Anniversary" & shown to our table & presented with personalized menus with Happy Anniversary across the top. Our server was delightful & service was amazing overall. The food was beautiful! Highly recommend!!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- tkthebakerVIPDined on 8/22/2014I go to Seed all the time and consider it one of my favorites in the suburbs. At this point I had only been for dinner. Lunch was a disaster. The waiter seemed frazzled, the food took over 30 min to be delivered and the waiter never came back to refill sodas or inquire about our food. I did not like my soup and did not eat it but he didn't seem to notice when we finally flagged him down to get the check. I will not go back for lunch.I would recommend this to a friend.

Regional overview
Regional overview
Fuel ethanol values started the second quarter at €520/cbm FOB Rotterdam on average but soon plummeted below €500/cbm FOB Rotterdam again on a steep backwardation in the US market.
Prices have remained below €500/cbm FOB Rotterdam ever since but have tended to be volatile.
Although prices are at low levels, European producers show no signs of slowing production as they are keen to retain market share.
It is hoped that demand will improve as the summer months progress, but at present, and indeed over the past quarter, buying interest has not met with expectations, especially taking into account that the peak demand summer driving season has begun.
Towards the end of the quarter, the European Energy Council decided to implement a 7% cap on the use of first generation biofuels towards EU biofuels targets.
The European Renewable Ethanol Association (ePURE) said that a separate renewables-in-petrol target was needed in order for ethanol offtake not to suffer, reasoning that the 7% cap could be met by biodiesel capacity in Europe alone.

Goalie Evgeni Nabokov has been released from his contract with SKA St. Petersburg of the Russian KHL due to what the team is calling "family circumstances".
The announcement was made on the SKA St. Petersburg website on Monday.
The former San Jose Sharks netminder was 8-8-5 in 22 games this season, with a save percentage of .888 and a 3.02 GAA. He played in the team's most recent game on Friday, and was pulled after giving up a pair of goals against Nizhny Novgorod during a 5-2 loss.
The 35-year old netminder played his entire 10-season NHL career with the Sharks, and signed as a free agent in Russia over the summer. The deal was reportedly for four years, and valued at $24 million.
Nabokov left San Jose after one of his finest campaigns last season. In 71 games for the Sharks, Nabokov went 44-16-10 with a 2.43 GAA and a .922 save percentage.
Nabokov also played in the Vancouver Olympics for Russia last year.

Actually, this works quite well, especially if the rogue isn't Assassination and doesn't have his armor-ignoring poison damage buffed. I once was jumped by a rogue in WG. I ate his initial cheapsot plus a full-duration kidney shot, after which I was still at 75% life and the rogue *ran away*. If you suspect a rogue is nearby, going into Defensive Stance with a shield (for warriors) or Frost Presence (for DKs) will severely diminish his ability to hurt you.
From the point of view of melee DPS, Dismantle is the rogue ability that ruins your day. If you have the luxury of having a 'spare' weapon which is not too gimp compared to your 'real' weapon, put a Titanium Weapon Chain (or Rune of Swordbreaking/Swordshattering) on that baby and whip it out when there are rogues or warriors around.

Can you say "Wildcard?"
The loss to the Saints has decreased the Falcons' chances of making the playoffs from 48.6 percent to 34.6 percent, according to the web site www.makeNFLplayoffs.com which calculates the chances each NFL team will make the playoffs.
The Falcons' chance of winning the division, and defending their NFC South title, has decreased from 31.8 percent to 15.4 percent. They are virtually assured of making the playoffs with six more wins and have a 45 percent chance of making the playoffs with four more wins.

The play-offs? This team should just hope for a 9-7 season. The def. back field can't stop a fly with a bulldozier, and right now Mattie Ice is having trouble hitting the broad side of a barn when it comes to throwing deep.

I remember a times when DOL tell us not to jump off the bridge that it only preseason. Did anybody tell the falcon that it not preseason anymore. I can't believe that the falcon saying, "we got them exactly where we want them now". I see Roddy and Ray taking they lumps like big boys. It no secret that most fan don't like Roddy big mouth and just want to see him play up to his potential. Ray gots no excuse. Ryan need to concentrate on what he doing. He could be the greatest 10 to 15 yard QB in the league, but he need to get more accurate. Sure he not responsible for all Roddy drops, but he need to think about throwing more to folk who don't drop. I would not want to be in the Titan shoes this week. Everytime the falcon feel like they got something to prove, the other team is in for a bad day. Look out Titan, you got an angry bird coming your way!!!

The Falcons have a very soft schedule so a wild card playoff is virtually assured and the division title can still happen. This is the time of the season when teams are starting to gain momentum, so the Falcons will be on a roll after Sunday.

Playoffs ? whats the percentage on them actually making that now ?
Are they trying to pretend they the Packers and hope they lucky enough to get in with a 10 – 6 record like GB was fortunate enough to do last year ?
mmmmm……….just think about that a moment. If GB hadn't been so fortunate to get that spot at 10-6, they would have no Super Bowl Ring !

I am a true FALCONS fan, I have never junped ship since the mid 70's…Everyone of ya'll say BVG and MM need to, go but I say bull%*/?. Matt Ryan will come up big against the TITANS , Roddy , hopefully #11 will be in the mix ,plus we have TG i guess ya'll say he has lost a step ,BULLBUTTER, Jump back non believers … baecause all of this negativity pisses me off….. So go on and root for your Saints, Titans ,Packers, ……But as for one voice, one fan, 3 or 4 (4th down converstions). Mike Smith will have all he's ducks in a row Hell yea I am proud to be called an ATLANTA FALCONS fan !!! win lose or draw !!! See you in the playoffs ! Phillip "Flip" Moore…..! Scottsboro,AL.

FIRE MULARKEY! (If Falcons don't make playoffs, he will be the number one reason – that 4th down play was a terribly unimaginative choice, already run on 4th down in the game, they were ready for it, thus no Division champ this year. )
Thanks Mularkey for being so stupid. Or Smith if he chose that play. Try to get them to jump, if that did not work, fake the dive and pitch to Rodgers outside for a huge gain. Or spread-out offense quick sneak like Brady. But running the exact same play you ran on 4th earlier after they had a time out to get their run-stuffing package in and knew the play coming and apparently the snap count is just STUPID.
Of course D Led has defended him at every turn this season. Jeff, who can be objective, sees what we see. Mark also called out the poor play calling and time-management during the previous game.
I also remember when the Braves were in the 90+% to make the playoffs.
November 16th, 2011
8:00 am
What are the odds of Green Bay going 16-0 and getting knocked off in the playoffs D-Led ? They good but no Team is unbeatable.
Atlanta would have been better off kicking the ball back to the Saints and taking a chance of them making a mistake and the D coming up with a play.
November 16th, 2011

No playoffs for this team this year. My season tickets are harder to sell than a dung cupcake.
Too many problems to list….. Losing games in creative ways…. Sad

I must be having a bout of dementia this morning……..Crazzzzzyyyyy thought here .
Lets say Atlanta does make a playoff bid this year…okay_
Greenbay stays unbeaten, makes it to the NFC Championship Game
Atlanta makes it and is their opponent_
The Birds Beat the Packers in the Championship Game,
Play the Superbowl and win the Title !
Don't you know that would be the Sports Shocker of the Year !

Plain and simple…….. Mike Smith loyalty to his coordinators is going to get him fired. Also another thing I love the Falcons and want to see them win but we must come to the recognition that Matt Ryan Is not a all pro QB. He can not throw the deep ball. If he gets hit one time he is off a majority of the rest of the game. If anyone watched the game Monday night you saw our team. We have better receivers. We have a better tight end. We have a better running back. The thing that is missing is the play caller and the QB. We have weapons everywhere but we don't know how to use them. Rodgers threw to 10 different receivers Matt only throws to TG and Roddy or Julio too much. We see what Harry can do in the slot. If we spread teams out and throw J. Rodgers a screen or two we will be unstoppable but again we need a QB and a Offensive Coordinator to do that.
November 16th, 2011
8:31 am
After the new orleans choke, the falcons have no chance of winning the division. They will not make the playoffs–another failed season. Smith must go!
November 16th, 2011
8:33 am
Hey now ..we talking about the Falcons………probably the most unpredictable Team in Football !
They could fool all of us this year !
think they will make some staff changes over the Winter if they don't make a playoff appearance but its not a good thing to completely change the regime………its like starting over from scratch !

November 16th, 2011
8:51 am
Look at the rest of the schedule. I only see one potential loss and that is at New Orleans. That game could very well be for the division. We will win this Sunday against the Titans, next against the Vikings, @ Houston without Schaub, @ Carolina, Jacksonville Thursday night game, Saints game is a toss up depending if its for the division or not, and Tampa Bay at home to finish the year. We will at best go 7-0 and at worst 6-1 with a loss to the Aints. Bank on that burdz fanz.
November 16th, 2011
8:56 am
Maybe we can use our first round pick next year to get a real pass rusher. Oh wait, we traded it for Julio. Never mind.
Our real problem is that Sidbury has as many sacks as all our LB's combined and our defensive line has twice as many interceptions as our whole LB corps. As Doug Stewart would say, "That suuuuucks."
November 16th, 2011

A lot of players on the falcons are just showing up for a paycheck and it shows!
November 16th, 2011

The Atlanta Falcons will go 8-8 and will see a huge ad in the AJC, paid for by team owner Arthur Blank, apologizing for this team's failure to make the playoffs and other predictable ramblings.
November 16th, 2011

I agree with Atlanta Native – Mularkey and Van Gorder need to go!
November 16th, 2011

Miked, are you saying that the Falcons have better receivers, tight ends and running backs than Green Bay?
Did you put some crack in your cheerios this morning?

November 16th, 2011
9:21 am
ATL-The better question would be,who we gonna beat?
November 16th, 2011
9:22 am
I think the Falcons could go 10-6 and still miss the playoffs because of the teams ahead of us in the standing. Both the Lions and the Bears have one more win and the Cowboys are 5-4 also. Even if we make the playoffs, we're not going to win on the road against the Giants or the Saints if we continues to play the way we have been playing.
November 16th, 2011
9:22 am
Falcons have winable games with Tennessee, Minnesota, Carolina, Jacksonville, and Tampa. Houston lost its QB and that greatly incrase the odds of a road win. NO at the Superdome is the only game I have my doubts about.
Dallas has two games left with the Giants
Lions have Green Bay for two games, N O and Oakland on the Road
Bears have Green Bay and Oakland. A game with the Chargers (no idea which charge team shows up).
November 16th, 2011
9:23 am
Have the Falcons had a back-to-back playoffs season?
November 16th, 2011
9:27 am
I think the deep passes are overrated in the NFL. If you watch Brees, Rodgers, Brady and Manning, they're so good at moving around in the pocket and NOT PANIC, and buy time for the receivers to get open 15-20 yrds down the field. Ryan gets so happy feet and throws away the ball as soon as he feels the pressure. That's the difference b/w the elite QBs and Ryan.
November 16th, 2011
9:28 am
DLed, I just think if the BIRDS can find a way to maintain a consistent pass rush…they can win the remainder of their games.
I thought that besides the lack of pass rush…I thought we went away from Turner early in the game. I thought Turner was our recipe for success. If we can get back to Turner…and find out what happen to the pass rush…we can catch them Aints…and defend our title.
November 16th, 2011
9:35 am
It was a bunch formation with no wideout,therfore you couldn't play action so your options or QB sneak or hand off to RB 5 yards deep with no lead blocker. The Saints had 11 in the box, they knew what was coming… you have to to be more creative than that MM.

I still believe. We are going to win the rest of our regular season games and win the division. We are better that the teams left on our schedule. We are this years Green Bay… Go FALCONS!!!
November 16th, 2011
9:43 am
dunta robinson and ray edwards are, so far, a waste of money. our defense should be better because of them; not the same. edwards just got here so he has some leeway, but robinson…a colossal waste. the offense is beginning to click. adding new pieces takes time but time is running short. a winning season and no playoffs is annoyingly likely.
November 16th, 2011

HA! Just as I fiured. The lowey Flacons R strugling again. The worse part is they have no draft next year cuz they traded it a way 4 a player that is injrued! Hmmmmmm Reminds me of anoter fist round pick…..Pewrrier Jerry. Does he even have N E tackels this year?
November 16th, 2011
9:47 am
ANd taht looser Donta Roberson is always out of positon on defence. He needs 2 be cut now. They could do beter with just 10 men on the feild!

Keep calm. Falcons will be a wild card. Only THEN will they disappoint you.

id: Rage to Arrive 'When it's Fun and When it's Done'Though work on id's open-world first-person shooter Rage (PC, PS3, 360, Mac) is progressing, project lead Tim Willits has revealed that any possible release date is still well in the future.
Asked if Rage would hit in 2009, 2010 or 2011, Willits only responded to the 2011 inquiry, saying that it's "not that far out."
"It's not like we know and we're not saying," he explained to Eurogamer. "It's just, again, it's when it's fun and when it's done. Unfortunately that is the answer I have to give."

User Defined Languages
User defined languages allow you to add your own language to Notepad++. This is a very quick and easy way to do so.
The NpWiki++ page about user defined language files lists all known such languages and allows sharing new contributed files.
Notepad++ always has the main User Defined language available. You can use this to test your settings and then later on create a new language based on this. The User Defined language gets reset each time you restart Notepad++, its settings will not be saved. User defined languages are available from the bottom of the language menu.
To define one, you need the User Defined Dialog, which can be accessed by selectingor pressing the button.
The dialog can float like any regular dialog when open, or be docked in the main Notepad++ window. Simply click/ to do so. If the dialog is undocked (floating) you can control its transparency. Enable the transparency checkbox and control the amount using the slider. Note that transparency is only available on Windows 2000 and later.
The dialog shows a dropdownlist of the currently defined user languages. Select one to change its parameters, if possible they will be automatically saved. To create a new user language based on the current state of the main User Defined language, click thebutton, a dialog will pop up asking for the name. To create a new User language based on the currently selected language, click and enter the new name. If you have selected an user created language, you can click on the button to enter a new name if necessary, and the button will delete the language.
If you want the user language to ignore the case of the text (so it will be case insensitive when looking for keywords), enable the ignore case checkbox.
For user created languages, you can also define what file extensions to associate with them for language autodetection in the textbox with the Ext label.
Most settings have a certain text style associated with them. These work the same as in the Styler Configurator (see Styler Configurator for details).
Other aspects of the language are controlled by the settings divided in four groups:
Default style and Folding (Folder & Default tab)
This tab control the style of the default text (text that has no special attributes or meaning) and the keywords that control the folding. A keyword in the Folder Open group will trigger a new Fold group that can be expanded and collapsed. A keyword in the Folder Close group will close any opened group.
Keywords (Keywords Lists tab)
This tab controls what keywords are registered with the language. You can define up to four groups of keywords, each with their own style. If you enable the Prefix option for a group, that means that these keywords can be prefixes of entire words, and thus will be detected even if the keyword is directly followed by other text. In that case the other text will be styled the same as the keyword.
Comments/Numbers (Comment & Number tab)
This tab controls the behavior and appearance of comments, and the appearance of numbers. You can define multiple comment symbols that are comment line symbols. These comments run from the symbol itself to the end of the line. You can also define comment block symbols. These symbols start commenting from any comment open symbol, until and comment close symbol is reached.
If you enable the Treat keyword as symbol checkbox, the comment symbols also trigger comments if they are the beginning of a word, much like prefix keywords.
Numbers are only recognized if they start a word with characters ranging from 0-9, where only the number symbols are styled as such.
Operators and Delimiters (Operators tab)
This tab controls what operator symbols exists and what symbols act as delimiters. Operator symbols are characters that split two words. They behave much as whitespace but can be styled differently.
Delimiters are single characters and usually defined in pairs. Any text between a pair of delimiters as styled as such. A good example is a string, which is delimited on both sides with double quotes and drawn in a different color. Since, in many languages, a string may contain the string delimiter with a special prefix, you can enable and choose this prefix, the escape character.
Storing and sharing user define language definitions
Basically, the settings for all user defined languages are stored in a configuration file called userDefineLang.xml. This is handy when you have defined only one language, or when you want to share all of the languages you defined. Because this scheme is too coarse grained at times, you can also
- Import a language from an external file, as long as it has proper contents. Changes will be saved in your file for all languages.
- Export an individual language to an .xml file.
Note that thebutton does not create any new file. It duplicates the current language using a new name you supply. does create a new file. Likewise, creates a new language with all attributes reset to default and the name you provide.
Please also note that, if you import a language you already have, you will get duplicate entries in the language list and in the language menu.

"These were the perfect invite for my daughters shower. Her husband had recently gone on Safari to South Africa and they are decorating the baby's room in a Safari theme. Love the options to personalize it with different cut edges, fonts and opportunity to add photos on backside of invite (we added a photo of mom and dad to-be and an ultrasound of baby). Excellent card quality and quick shipment!"
"Quality of paper ++++ Envelopes great (add the inner liner choices for these ) Labels good quality Font shows nicely - easy to read I loved these! Card was so cute - received many compliments! Thank you"
"Didn't take much personalization, just my name at the top. Although, you could change every single line if you wanted to. I'm just not that creative, so I left it as is. Even so, the guests loved it, and I was surprised how seriously they took it. I got some really lovely and insightful responses. I'm keeping them all and putting them in a binder for my son when he is old enough to read them."

Of Unknown Philologies
Published on Saturday, August 20, 2011 - 2:35pm
The highest achievement of any work of art is to cultivate the senses of its intended audience. Literature at its finest challenges the reader; it makes demands, and rewards our patience by opening our minds to new paradigms, an awakening that creates new channels of perception. In this context, science fiction is a semiotic goldmine, allowing for metaphors outside of the quotidian imagery we are immersed in a constant basis. At its height, this potential is expressed in the work of grand masters like Jorge Luis Borges, William Gibson, Tim Powers, Neal Stephenson and now China Mieville.
Cyberpunk in particular has a refined sense of self-awareness, clothing the ideas of postmodern philosophers, logicians and linguists in hypermodern or futuristic aesthetics. These are not new arguments or unique thoughts; in the last two decades, the relationship between science fiction and philosophy has spawned its own perpetually evolving academic dialogue. All of this, in turn, goes toward explaining the complexity of reviewing a novel like China Mieville's Embassytown, though Mieville might be more likely to claim his work as part of the "New Weird."
In a fit of recursive storytelling, Embassytown is very difficult to summarize. The text is its own description; the story transcends typical narrative structures to explore complex ideas of language and being, and the relationship between signifier and signified in a new way. This isn't to say that a few brushstrokes won't create a reasonable facsimile of meaning, but the imagery alone can't convey the true depth of Mieville's writing. Which, given that the conveyance of meaning is of apocalyptic importance to the story, means that this is one of those books that can only really tell itself. Writing this review is like creating a map of a map that bears the legend "this is not the territory," in the tradition of Borges' "On Exactitude in Science." Though, Given Mieville's leftist political leanings, Borges would probably chafe at the comparison.
In a future so distant that it bears only the most tenuous relationship to the world as it is, humanity has come into contact with any number of alien species, including the Areikie, or Hosts. These creatures speak with two voices and hear with their wings, using a language unique in all known space. They can only speak words that are literally true, and can only hear words that are spoken by a (relatively) unified mind. To this end, humanity has spent generations cultivating the Ambassadors, pairs of individuals who are the only people capable of speaking their language, and that with great difficulty.
The main character, Avice Benner Cho, is a living simile, chosen as a child to enact a phrase that could be of use to the Hosts. The story itself takes place when Avice returns to her home, Embassytown, a human ghetto embedded in a living city grown by the Hosts. Cho has travelled the immer, a sort of hyperspatial meta-reality, drifting through her own existence, the "girl who ate what she was given." Her return is accompanied by profound changes and tumult in interspecies relations. Without giving too much detail, words are spoken in a particular way, by particular people, that literally threatens the structure of Embassytown and nearly destroys Hosts and humans alike; their only hope is an act of guerilla semiosis.
Like so many of the best (post)cyberpunk stories, Embassytown is a work of cryptographic fiction--the story is a cipher, demanding to be decoded. The production of symbolic meaning is a titanic event, literally embodied within the narrator and her companions. The text is difficult because there are no easier ways to tell the story without compromising its integrity. It might even be hopeless; metaphors are only so powerful. As Lao Tsu argued, "the Tao that can be named is not the eternal tao." However, one of the lessons of modern computation and cryptography is the value of compression, that ideas can be condensed, and transmitted, and reassembled on the other end by the receiver. It is likewise the inevitable hope of any artist that the meanings encoded in their art can be reconstructed by the audience. The Tao spoken doesn't need to be the eternal tao. It only has to imply it strongly enough for another person to (hopefully) fill in the gaps themselves.
Bearing this in mind is very helpful when reading Embassytown, which at the start is a bit difficult to read. Avice, the narrator, uses something like the argot spoken by the droogs in A Clockwork Orange. Mieville drops the reader into his world, no stops, no preparations, no explanations. In a style reminiscent of Neal Stephenson's Anathem, the author employs terminology that is intuitively recognizable, like "automa" and "turingware," just close enough to familiar words to imply meaning without becoming a slave to it. It's an effective way to create a new lexicon, but it also places a lot of responsibility on the reader to keep up. Thankfully, that patience is rewarded, as the story and setting, the meat of the book, unfolds into something mind-altering and beautiful. The payoff is a literary thought experiment as philosophically rich as Kierkegaard's Either/Or.

The Word of the Day
In an industry that seems to need a new buzzword every few years, it's never really a surprise when you hop from meeting to meeting and hear the same phrases over and over again. At E3 2009, the big word is "cinematic", as in "cinematic experience" or "cinematic dialog" or just plain "cinematic game."
So apparently games are movies again. But, depending on the game and the approach, "cinematic" has taken on a wealth of meanings.
Bioware's Mass Effect 2 is the most cinematic. It's cast as a trilogy, has a strong script and compelling protagonist. And we in the media got to see a lot of cutscenes. In fact, judging by the ratio of game action and talky bits on display, ME2 is as close to being a playable movie as any game can get.
Supreme Commander 2, a brawny real time strategy game (one of very few on display at E3) has a story based campaign that Gas Powered Games compares to Saving Private Ryan. For GPG's Chris Taylor, a strategy campaign needs characters and personalities to draw you into the world that is around you and your units.
WET from Artificial Mind and Movement, however, uses cinematic in the sense of appearance - it's a stylized spaghetti western filtered through the action lens of John Woo. The protagonist earns "style points" for acrobatic kills that look good on screen no matter how impractical they would be for an assassin. How many spinning dual wielding ass-kicking gunfights can you have in a single room? More than you would think.
The flexibility of the term speaks to both the power of film and the versatility of game designers. Many seem to make games based on the types of movies they want to star in. But make the actions too film-like and you risk pulling the player out of the game and into your vanity production. How far can an RPG or shooter push the movie analogy before it becomes a series of short action sequences interspersed with the epic story that the designer wants to tell?
The tension between gameplay, story and graphics in design is not new. And even as everyone becomes cinematic, we can take comfort in that the adjective turns out to be as vague and useless a descriptor as every other buzzword. The question is not whether games want to look like movies, but which parts of movies can be well integrated into a game.

Challenging Gender-based Violence Worldwide: CARE's Program Evidence
Stategies, Results and Impacts of Evaluations 2011 - 2013
People fleeing violence in the Central African Republic seek refuge in Chad.
CARE began operations in Chad in 1975. Over the last 30 years, we have continuously adjusted our programs in response to the political developments in Chad.
Hunger and poverty are on the rise as Chad takes on refugees from all over the Sahel region, even as the country struggles to solve its own food crisis with limited resources.
Drought, erratic rains, failed crops, soaring food prices and regional instabilities have left more than 18.7 million people at risk of starvation in the Sahel region of west Africa.

PHOENIX (AP) - A June 5 trial has been set for a 15-year-old boy accused of killing a Maricopa County jail officer who authorities say apparently was targeted at random when he was shot in his own driveway.
Leonard Moreno has pleaded not guilty to charges of first-degree murder, aggravated assault and drive-by-shooting in the Aug. 8 death of 27-year-old detention officer Jorge Vargas.
Vargas was attacked while working on his car outside his home.
He was wearing his uniform that identified him as a Maricopa County Sheriff's Office employee.
Investigators don't know what exactly happened in the driveway before Vargas was shot.
Vargas was an eight-year veteran who worked for the sheriff's Custody Support Bureau in a jail food factory.

A Spirit Lake Nation official says Roger Yankton Sr. is back as the tribe's chairman after winning an appeal at tribal court.
Tribal Secretary Nancy Green Robertson says Yankton is expected to be sworn in Wednesday in Fort Totten.
Leander "Russ" McDonald, the man tribal members picked to replace Yankton, will be sworn in as a member of the Tribal Council representing the Fort Totten District.
Earlier this month, tribal members voted 284-145 to recall Yankton in a vote prompted by recall petitions accusing him of corruption, intimidation and ineffective leadership.
McDonald, vice president for academic affairs at Candeska Cikana Community College, was sworn in as the new chairman.
The tribe has gone through years of upheaval, particularly with its child protection system.

Georgia State football coach Bill Curry will retire after this season so that he can spend more time with his family and pursue some personal interests.
Curry, who will turn 70 in October, has spent 58 years in organized football as a player, coach or announcer.
His press conference will begin at 1 p.m. I'll post quotes (some may be paraphrased) here as fast as I can, so please bookmark this link.
From athletic director Cheryl Levick:
For the past four years Georgia State University has been blessed by Bill Curry. I say university and not football team.
He has been the perfect coach to develop and lead Georgia State football.
It's time to let [him] go.
The integrity, leadership, value and class, every day, all day in everything he does is what makes him so special and the cornerstone of this program.
Curry asked Levick not to call him a legend. Instead he's a hero to his players, an ambassador for the university and a life-long friend.
From Curry:
There will be a time for thanks and reminiscing and happiness and sadness at the end of the season, but my reason for doing this now is so Georgia State football and be focused on this season.
Georgia State has become a part of the mythology of the Curry family. A big part of that is Carolyn Curry's education. When I was lightly recruited coming out of high school, it was assumed I would go to Georgia. There was the geographical thing. Agnes Scott [where Carolyn went as an undergrad] was closer to Georgia Tech than Georgia. Carolyn earned her mastes and Ph.D. from Georgia State.
[Curry is now getting a bit teary]
Georgia State was always special to us when we were approached about this opportunity.
Curry is now telling a story about Sept. 13, 2001. Because people didn't want to fly, Curry was given an assignment he could drive to from his home in North Carolina to Birmingham, Ala. He didn't think games should be played. He got as far as Atalla, Ala. He stopped at a gas station and began talking football. He got the call to go home, the game was cancelled.
The guy said, "well in attalla, Ala. on Friday night, we play football. Football means a lot to us."
Curry said he got back in his car and was stunned. He hadn't felt the pull of football with that intensity.
He decided to figure out why football was such a big deal. He concluded that the reason football means so much is that for so many young men, it is the only rite of passage left.
It brings communities together.
When I was asked to bring this back to my hometown, to this wonderful institution….to get a chance to do anything here was special to Carolyn to me. This has been more than an athletic job. This has been an opportunity to add to the fabric of a culture and community.
We are going to throw our heart and soul into this season….
I won't discuss who might be next or where I might be going because this is over… we are dedicated to this season.
I have a commitment to Cheryl and Dr. Becker to stay affiliated with the university and we will work through that.
I'm praying that what we get this year is the next step in performance on the field and in the classroom…
I'm glad to get this out of the way because people have been asking about it for a long time.
Curry again says that his five grandchildren are the one thing that's highly rated. "I'm going to know those children. We are going to get to be there with them.
"My health is excellent."
Curry again says working 80- to 90-hour weeks aren't good.
Curry says he would like to be part of the solution to the quandary that intercollegiate athletics has gotten itself into.
Curry says there's no chance he will re-consider his decision.
Somebody's got to grab this thing and come in here and run with it.
I had to be sure and Carolyn and I spent many, many hours and we are sure.
For me to presume that I will be a part of the coaching search is a bad mistake people like me make all the time.
Would love to see the guys on staff stay on, but that's problematic. If asked, he will participate. If not, he won't be offended.
On building Georgia State:
It has been humbling, it has been embarrassing.
On the differences between his first job and the Georgia State job:
There's a way to do it without working all those hours, but no one's doing it.
I missed my children growing up and I won't do it again. I don't think people ought to do that.
The leash is much, much shorter. We were given a long time at Georgia Tech to get that thing back together. I hadn't been a graduate I don't know if I would have gotten that much time.
I think coaches can do the job in shorter hours, and should.
Levick, on the coaching search:
Following the season, we will do a national search. I want to keep the focus right now on the season. I can't tell you how old or what region he will be from. They will have integrity, will be a teacher, a motivator, a educator, a leader. We will find that person.
I will talk with each assistant during the season and find out what there goals are. I will be an advocate for them as well.
Curry, on his great moment:
58 consecutive years in football is one criteria for certifiable insanity.
the best single moment…I don't know. There's so many. Among them, is the privilege of working at this place and seeing this place come out of the ground. Seeing this group, I call them children and they don't like that, and seeing them grow. That's been a great job.
That's in the top few.
Levick, on ways to honor Curry:
We will put together a plan of action [on how to promote Curry]
He will become a special assistant to the athletic director to help me with fund-raising and other things.
He will also help Dr. Becker with the centennial. Lots of great plans, none of them finalized.
Curry on effect of his decision on recruits:
We can't call the recruits because we are in a dead period until Sept. 1. Coach Pugh and his organization are in touch with all the student-athletes we've evaluated [ via email].
I believe the presence of one person or another won't change the commitments.

Smart Marketing - Nissan LEAF
The upcoming EV from Nissan, LEAF, has been surrounded with controversy about pricing and range - but that hasn't stopped a huge number of future buyers from reserving the new car. All 2011 models are sold out, even before they hit dealership lots over the next two months. But one thing is certain, LEAF marketing is taking off.
It all started with huge campaigns online - cross country drives to promote Facebook and Twitter feeds - and other social media marketing strategies to promote various aspects of the all new EV LEAF. Now comes a fresh approach from Nissan to help those…

The PCMH in Action
Current Activity
Across the country, multi-stakeholder coalitions, including public and private payers, employers, clinician organizations, academic institutions, consumer advocacy groups, and others, are working to develop and test PCMHs projects. While enthusiasm among these groups for the PCMH care model and its potential benefits is strong, the purpose of these projects is to test the model and measure its effect, particularly in terms of quality improvement and cost savings.
ACP has been actively involved in many of these projects with the aim of ensuring the Joint Principles are espoused by the primary care professional societies. To help facilitate consistency of PCMH demonstration projects with the Joint Principles, the primary care professional societies have released a set of 16 Guidelines for PCMH Demonstration Projects intended to provide direction to projects in the planning phase and to facilitate more meaningful interpretation and understanding of the "lessons learned" from the different projects. The following are lists of current PCMH activities & initiatives across the country:

A Soft Glow: White Nightlights for Kids
I'm already noticing - with a bit of dread - that the sun is rising later and setting sooner. Soon we'll be plunging headlong into the darker nights of fall and winter. I find the dark nights can be very cozy, but they're always helped by a small moment of light.
These beautiful all-white night lights are just perfect. Calm and serene, they all feature a sweet glow that's bound to soothe restless children - and parents too. My daughter would probably pick the bunny, but I have to say my favorite is the gnome!
- Squirrel, Bunny, Hedgehog, and Bird Nightlights ($12.99, Modcloth)
- Jonathan Adler Lion Nightlight ($48, Digs)
- Elephant Nightlight ($99, Land of Nod)
- Love You Nightlight ($25, SFMOMA Museum Store)
- Porcelain Gnome ($50.18, Karma Kiss)

10 Comments
Please be aware that a night light - or any light - can interfere with your child's sleep and circadian rhythms. Just this Wednesday, on NPR's Diane Rehm show, there was discussion with Bob Parks, Executive Director of International Dark Sky Association. Persuasive . . . . our children need respite from the mania of overlighting.
That's tough to tell a child who's afraid of the dark though.
You could put a nightlight on a timer that's set to turn off around the time your child falls asleep. But leaving it on all night will cause serious health issues.
Better yet, research ways to help soothe your child's fear of the dark.
When do they get afraid of the dark? Do they start out that way? My kid is a fearless dark hall stumbler at 2 1/2.
LOVE the first set!
I have the squirrel nightlight from the first photo, and it's not very bright at all - just enough to give a warm glow. It runs on coin batteries and I haven't noticed it get too hot to touch (I think it's LED?)
I love that squirrel!
I always slept with a nightlight as a kid and I don't think it slowed me down at all.
I bought that hedgehog nightlight from Land Of Nod and it's a total dud. Cute, to be sure, but terrible quality. First, the switch was so poorly made that it didn't work. My husband is pretty handy and he was able to fix it. But the light is powered by two watch batteries stacked together and it starts to fade after about three nights. WIthin a week the batteries ran out. We replaced them once and they also ran out in a week. Seriously?!? We're supposed to buy new batteries every week? I am looking for another light that plugs in but after reading the comments above, maybe we'll just live without one.
We also have the hedgehog nightlight for our daughter which I thought would be perfect b/c she wanted a nightlight, loves Mrs. Tiggywinkle from Beatrix Potter, and I wanted something soft - not too bright. I thought the quality was fine and the light was softer than any of those outlet ones (who can sleep with those?!), but it runs out of batteries very quickly (like overnight)! Thus, we used it for about 2 nights, and now it is a cute little figurine in her room...I wish they would make a soft plug in one for kids. She quickly got over her nightlight thing, so I don't really have any other solutions for folks, except to warn you that set doesn't last long.
We have the gnome, and we love it. It provides a soft enough light to check in on the baby without waking up her brother, and the outside doesn't get hot (as is the case with some plastic lamps.) Plus, it's a gnome, right?

"We are going to win," said Atholton coach Martie Dyer the day before her team played Marriotts Ridge.
It didn't make any difference that, with scant notice, the Raiders would be missing a high scoring forward who was making a weekend college visit.
Atholton had one day of practice to make adjustments in its line up and corners. So what? No big deal.
"Despite losing two games by one goal, I think I have the best team in the county. I just do," Dyer said after her team defeated Marriotts Ridge, 3-2, Friday afternoon at Blandair Park.
It was the second county loss for Marriotts Ridge and drops the Mustangs from a tie for first in the county standings into a tie for second.
Rachel Day put Atholton on the scoreboard first.
"I think that set the tone for the whole entire game," she said. "We needed that to show us that we could stay in the game."
As part of the adjustments Atholton had to make, Day, a cherry picker, and freshman Faryn Katz, a center forward, switched positions. The pace of the game soon forced them to switch back but Atholton kept the offensive pressure on.
The Raiders started three freshmen — Katz, Ashley Martin and Rachel Foster — and a sophomore — Meaghan Quinn, who began the season at midfield/defense but has been shifted to forward. She assisted two of Atholton's goals.
The Raiders had a 1-0 halftime lead and extended their advantage to 2-0 when Gina D'Astro scored on a corner play.
"There are two lines and I don't think the ball went out of the circle. The second she touched it, I screamed that it didn't come out," said Marriotts Ridge keeper Sophia Hamilton. Her plea fell on deaf ears.
On corners, the ball must come out of the circle and then back into it before a shot is taken.
The lines on the Blandair field were confusing, said Marriotts Ridge coach Stacie Gado. "We're not used to playing on the turf where Atholton is here every day for practice," she added.
With 17 minutes remaining in the game, Jenna Kerr scored for Marriotts Ridge on a corner play. The Mustangs' last goal, by Lexi Souder, with 26 seconds left was also during a corner.
"We can't wait. We can't wait for them to score. We can't be content with just playing," said Marriotts Ridge coach Stacie Gado.
"Coming off a score (by the other team) is hard," said Marriotts Ridge's Jasmine Williams. "But once we scored, we had our hopes up."
The Mustangs owned the momentum near the end of the game, and nearly took the ball away from Atholton with 20 seconds to go. The Raiders' Jaimie Cardea, who scored her team's third goal, squelched any hopes of Marriotts Ridge stealing the ball possibly tying the game by blasting the ball up the field.
"I knew if I hit the ball up as far as I could it would be a struggle for them to get the ball and get it back down" to their offensive end," Cardea said. "I think the (hit) was a huge factor in why we won. It gave us time to settle and get that corner" at the very end.
Atholton drew a penalty corner just as the clock expired. The Raiders were able to play out the corner, but did not score.
