SPOKANE, Wash. -- A Spokane trial for a 2011 murder was pushed back even further. Kimberly Schmidt was found dead on New Year's Day 2012. Her killer was set to face a jury in a matter of days, but on Wednesday lawyers fought to delay the trial again.
Daniel Arteaga was arrested in August of 2012 for the 2011 New Year's Eve murder of Schmidt.
On Wednesday, Arteaga's attorneys fought to delay the trial. A judge granted their request which delayed the trial for a second time. A new trial date was set for April 14, 2014.
Defense lawyers told the judge that still have a ways to go in proving Arteaga did not shoot Schmidt with her own gun. The gun used was a pistol Arteaga bough for her according to court records.
Yet, detectives stated that boxes and bags of evidence support their case against the suspect.
Major Crimes detectives said Arteaga shot his former girlfriend to death over money he allegedly owed Schmidt. Schmidt was found dead in her North Spokane County home on New Year's Day 2012 by her mother.
Court documents said Arteaga drugged his girlfriend of six years with Advil P.M. before shooting her in the head. Detectives later said Arteaga's DNA was found on a sock used to cover the murder weapon. They also found books about forensics in Arteaga's home.
Court documents also said Schmidt was ending a sexual relationship with Arteaga before she was killed and that he owed her money. She had the titles to his two trucks. At the same time, text messages revealed a rekindled relationship with the father of Schmidt's daughter, Joseph Regalado. Schmidt was suppose to celebrate the New Year with Regalado, but never made it.
Arteaga had also been listed as a co-defendant with Schmidt in a civil lawsuit involving scuba diving instruction. The pair was accused of negligence in a diving accident.

Does creationism indicate bad education? (If so how can we fix this, and should it be taught?) Does Creationism have any credibility to it?
I started this debate, with a new aspect (or perspective) on our current education problem. Considering many focus on how to motivate students and various other aspects. Yet this (creationism) still remains a big problem to the American education system today, and I don't think many people think about this when they consider the education system today.
I feel I should have probably made this clearer, when I say creationism, I am making reference to the type of creationism which tell people "Evolution is wrong". (Or in other words the "Creationism vs Evolution" debate).
Creationism - http://www.creationism.org/
Does it have any credibility to it? Should it be considered a science?
Considering due to recent polls 46% of American believe in creationism.
Link :
- http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2012/06/05/americans-believe-in-creationism_n_1571127.html
Many psychological studies have shown a strong correlation between a lack of education and creationism. These studies indicate that not many creationists actually understand what the scientific method is.
With all this talk of how to "improve education" surely it would be wise, to finally finish the "Creationism vs Evolution" debate, if we wish to ensure a better scientific education!
Watch this 3 minute link : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UTedvV6oZjo (By Lawrence Krauss)
Here are some reasons, people believe creationism should be taught in schools, which I believe are false :
Considering, if the polls are to be believed, 46% of Americans are missing out (in my opinion) on a proper scientific education.
I think it is worth mentioning though, that I am fine with "Theistic evolution".
A good book recommendation on this matter is "Finding Darwin's God: A Scientist's Search for Common Ground Between God and Evolution" by Kenneth R. Miller. I personally have never understood the claim "Atheism = Evolution"...

May 16 2013: Cliff,
I live in TN, USA,(Silver buckle of the Bible Belt USA) and as the sun is shining here, I can clearly declare that: ID folks-their main driving agenda-- is to bring religion into the science classroom, period. I have engaged in debates with them and when presented with Evidence regarding Physics & Biology (and not being able to refute it) they state:"we know what truth is because is in the Bible".One more thing look at the discovery Institute heavily lobbying in Washington DC for their agenda (instead of working in the lab????!!!) to push and push ID into the classroom ,it gets votes-- but torquing politics instead of science Cliff I stand by my statement. See:http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intelligent_design_in_politics.
When asked ,Where is the evidence for the creator? ID says:None, hmm? how they get their ideas forward then? So, lacking the evidence ID proponents concoct a Dualism: Anything that Theory A cannot explain (right now) is evidence for Theory B, and if we argue like that then the moon is made out of cheese if you weren't sure is made of up of anorthosite rock. P Johnson/R Boston and its "wedge strategy" state:" that one of the objectives is:" to convince people that Darwinism is inherently atheistic, thus shifting the debate from creationism vs. evolution to the existence of God vs. the non-existence of God. From there people are introduced to 'the truth' of the Bible and then 'the question of sin' and finally 'introduced to Jesus.'"
ID is God(S) of the gaps fallacy ,lives at the Perimeter of Ignorance. Let's teach Astrology and Alchemy since we are at it. Judge Jones is a conservative person and he saw right through the ruse of the Discovery Institute.
I just hate to see ignorance in action when there is so much knowledge to be offered.
May 16 2013: Carlos, I have no argument with you regarding the politics and what people may or may not say in one context vs. another. Understanding you are from TN helps me in realizing it seems you have had no exposure to the broader community of folks who value science but also happen to believe in a Creator. What you have stated regarding the creationists or ID folks you have run into may very well be true. I want to assure you that it is not representative of the broader community.
To equate ID with god of the gaps fallacy is a common misunderstanding. Speaking for myself, to suggest that there is an intelligent being that should be credited with the creation of the universe (and what has subsequently come into existence) is not suggesting that "there is no current explanation, therefore it must be God"--the basis of the god of the gaps. For me, it is a philosophical/religious belief that does not rely on whether gaps of knowledge are filled in or not. Rather, it posits that at every point, whether we understand the processes by which things came to be or not, there was a supreme being outside of our realm of existence engineering and directing those processes. This is a question on which science ultimately must be silent, because it is not a scientific proposition that can be explored with the scientific method. And it doesn't make one any less scientific for believing it. One can still hold the scientific method in the highest regard and do scientific work with the greatest rigor. Many great scientists, past and present, have! I think much of the issue with creationism is that it is a backlash against science classes that go beyond the boundaries of science and teach that evolution (or anything else for that matter) somehow disproves or negates a belief in a higher power. I have no problem with evolution, as long as it is not coupled with its own philosophical (not scientific) statements such as "evolution contradicts/eliminates belief in God", etc.
May 18 2013: Hi Cliff,
I have read what people in the ID camp write. Far from being reasonable as you, they do indeed rely on god-of-the-gaps fallacies all the time. Look at their literature, it's all about Darwin being wrong on this, Darwin being wrong on that (which is also a creationist propaganda tactic, blame one person alone for al the evils you want your followers to oppose). This structure being too complex to have arisen by "random chance" (another creationist bit of misrepresented science), that structure not described to atomic level by evolution, the probability that this would arise by chance is such ... all classics of the worst kinds of creationism, only trying hard to disguise them as if they are scientific claims. Much unlike you.
Jun 3 2013: Just read your response yesterday. Thanks for the compliment. I'm curious what you believe about science's ability to address claims of a spiritual world (God's existence, etc.). Perhaps you have addressed this in other comments, but I'll readily admit I'm too tired/lazy to look through them all. Do you believe science can eliminate the possibility of a spiritual world (essentially a non-material parallel universe), or do you believe science must be silent on it because it is not a testable hypothesis, but rather a philosophical proposition? If you take the time to respond, thanks.

By GEORGE HENRYAssociated Press
ATLANTA (AP) - Steven Jackson has wanted to hold up the Lombardi Trophy since he was 10 years old.
Now that he's signed with the Atlanta Falcons, the 3-time Pro Bowl running back believes he's one step closer to his goal.
Like Falcons tight end Tony Gonzalez, Jackson says he considered retiring after the season, but decided that he's still too productive to pass up a chance to win the Super Bowl.
Among active players, Jackson leads the NFL with 10,135 yards rushing, but he hasn't been to the playoffs since his rookie year of 2004 with the St. Louis Rams.
Joining an Atlanta team that fell 10 yards shy of winning the NFC championship, Jackson says he and the Falcons "looked like a marriage that was meant to happen."

Pacific Coastal & Marine Science Center
1998: Hydrates Cruise in the Gulf of Mexico
In June 1998, the U.S. Geological Survey and the University of Mississippi Marine Minerals Technology Center studied the upper- and middle-continental slope of the Mississippi Canyon. The DEM image (442 kb) of study area shows the ship tracklines.
They investigated the distribution of potential gas-hydrate deposits and possible links between hydrate occurrence and sea-floor failures. More than 900 km of very-high-resolution seismic reflection data were recorded utilizing the R/V Tommy Munro (187 kb).
Four seismic sources were used (35/35 and 105/105 cu.in. GI-airguns; 15 cu.in. water gun; deep-tow Huntec boomer). Arrivals were recorded either by a 24-channel, 250-m-long ITI streamer or by the Huntec's two receivers, giving penetrations up to 1.5 s (~1300 m) for airguns and 0.3 s (~240 m) for the Huntec. Ocean bottom seismometers were used to acquire wide-offset seismic data over a known hydrate mound.
Gas hydrates are commonly recognized in seismic profiles from areas other than the Gulf of Mexico by a bottom simulating reflector (BSR) at the base of the gas hydrate stability zone (GHSZ). In the Gulf, however, reports of well-defined BSRs are rare. The shallow stratigraphy and structure are complex in the study area due largely to salt tectonism and mass movements. Swath bathymetry data (226 kb) show many active, broad slump bodies on the sea floor, bordered by high fault scarps and pierced locally by diapirs. The numerous faults, diapirs, buried slump bodies, and otherwise deformed stratigraphic units characterize the shallow subsurface.
There is also great variability in seismic amplitudes in the shallow sedimentary section above the base of GHSZ. Many deep seated faults and diapirs have anomalous high-amplitude reflections (129 kb) near the sea floor like those seen over confirmed gas-hydrate mounds (241 kb). BSRs may occur, but are subdued and difficult to identify. Strong "shingled" reflections are seen in places directly below the inferred base of GHSZ, within a regional anomalous stratigraphic unit up to 150 m thick at sub-bottom depths of about 250-400 m. The unit may hold free gas that feeds sea-floor hydrate mounds and hydrate deposits we infer along faults and stratigraphic pathways in the overlying sedimentary section. Gas hydrates may in turn facilitate some shallow subsurface failures by providing added gas and water to underconsolidated overpressured sequences. The local occurrences of high-amplitude reflections and acoustically opaque zones near some local bathymetric features (e.g., mounds, scarps) suggest that hydrates are most likely to be found around shallow-subsurface diapirs and faults.

Free credit scores -- what's the catch?
It makes good financial sense to track your credit, but don't get obsessed with credit score perfection.
Consumers often check their credit scores for the first time when they're about to apply for a loan or have been denied one. If you're proactively checking your credit, it's sometimes difficult to know where to start, because many websites and companies offer credit scores, some for purchase and others for free.
What's the best choice?
Before choosing a credit score to look at, there are a few things to know. First, there are hundreds of scoring models out there, and while lenders use some of them, other scores exist for purely educational purposes. An educational score may be helpful if you use it to track the ups and downs of your credit score, but you should know that no lender is looking at that particular score when evaluating your credit application.
You also need to know your scores fluctuate, even when you haven't made a drastic financial change. If you have 10 tradelines on your credit report -- say, a few credit cards, student loans and a car loan -- that probably means 10 different data furnishers are reporting information about your accounts to credit bureaus at different times. Your credit score is a snapshot of your credit report at the moment it's pulled, meaning your score could change a few points if you buy it today, apply for a credit card tomorrow and buy the same score several days later.
Finally, not only will you not know which scoring model your potential lender will use in its application-approval process, you may not know a particular lender's standards — the score one creditor considers great may not be good enough for approval by another lender.
Can you really get a free credit score?
There are many ways to check your credit score for free. For example, when your credit application is denied, you are entitled to a free credit report and a free credit score, as well as an explanation from the lender about why you were rejected.
Outside of credit denial, you can request a free credit score through a few websites, and some credit card companies give you a credit score every month or quarter through the FICO Open Access program. With websites offering free credit scores, you'll want to know if the score is educational or used by lenders -- the two free credit scores offered through Credit.com are lender scores -- but either way, checking the same score regularly will help you identify behaviors that help and hurt your credit.
Don't get carried away
The most important thing to know about credit scores -- whether you purchase them or access them for free -- is you shouldn't become obsessed with the numbers. You'll never know all your scores, and because your credit reports change so often, vying for perfection isn't a worthwhile use of your time.
Focus on making loan payments on time, using very little of your available credit and applying for credit sparingly. Check your credit reports (you can get them free at AnnualCreditReport.com) regularly to spot errors or fraudulent accounts (and address them promptly). If you maintain good, basic habits, you should have a decent credit standing, no matter which model a lender uses to make decisions.

MemorialPosted by Lawrence Dillon in Uncategorized
My undergraduate counterpoint class was taught by a fiftyish, alcoholic composer.
Some mornings he showed up late for class, mumbled something like, "do chapter six," then put his head down on the desk, moaned softly for a while and began snoring loudly.
A few years later, when I was in grad school, I heard that he had died in London. The person he specified should be notified in the event of his death – I assume he had no living relatives – was his former teacher, Milton Babbitt.
The guy had gotten off to a pretty good start, winning a BMI Young Composers Award, and having a piece released on a CRI recording.
I remember one time when he had the whole composition department over to his house for dinner. He made a huge pot of chili, and was as happy as I'd ever seen him, scurrying back and forth with steaming bowls. But as the evening drew to a close and we all started saying our goodbyes, I thought he was going to cry.
I'm thinking about him now, as I prepare to take a sabbatical from teaching. Burned out and beat up, he represents for me everything that can go wrong with an artist's dreams.
On this day when we remember the men and women who have died for our country, here is a quiet toast for all of the Americans who have given their lives to anonymous pursuit of the muse.

Time for the report card on the Falcons' effort Monday in New Orleans against the Saints. Rate the team on the following four categories: offense, defense, special teams and coaching.
November 3rd, 2009
12:28 am
Just played a superior team. Give it to the Saints. A Falcon Fan.
November 3rd, 2009
12:30 am
Coach Smith had a chance to put major pressure on the Saints but instead of going for the TD on 4th down he made another bad call in going for a FG. Coach Smith brought a knife(FG) to a gun fight (TD) thats why we lost. Instead of taking the chances to put this team in position to win the coach wimped out. Ryan has a problem LOCKING on one WR or TE then he tries to force the ball. Once Ryan takes one big hit he puts on his skates and rushes everything. This team just lost any chance of getting into the Playoffs!!!!
November 3rd, 2009
12:37 am
The Falcons played the WHOLE game tonight and yet lost. Some mistakes, but capitalized and caused some for the Saints. Sometimes you play great and still lose. I gotta give to them, an exciting game to the very end.
November 3rd, 2009
12:38 am
Even them a break guys, the played what may be the best team in the NFL and gave them all they wanted. Yes, we made some mistakes but so did NO. And the gamblers are happy = the beat the spread….
November 3rd, 2009
12:39 am
Cedrick, obviously you are not very football intelligent. That was a well coached, well fought game, the Falcons just came up short. The Saints were the better team tonight. To go into a Monday night game against an undefeated team that nobody has has come close to beating, and have a shot to win it… I can't ask for anything more as a fan. A couple years back, this team would have folded like a cheap suit. Good things are ahead for this Falcons squad!
November 3rd, 2009
12:46 am
Great game Falcons. Keep it comming!!!!!!!!
November 3rd, 2009
12:47 am
WOW how can the defense and offense have a good rating but they lost the game. Matt Ryan stunk the field up bad throws and holding on to the football toooo long. Third bad game in a row for Ryan. Please explain how a QB rating of 46.6 is playing great. By the way Drew Brees QB rating 111.7.
November 3rd, 2009
12:50 am
November 3rd, 2009
12:59 am
Falcons will not win 8 games this year…Because Ryan is really struggling and seems to be playing scared..Jenkins got his big contract and then reverted back to dropping too many passes…secondary couldn't cover grandma…Abe is a non-factor….Elam is over the hill.
Falcons will lose to Redskins this Sunday by 7…..We live in Loserville, USA
November 3rd, 2009
1:06 am
Great game. We kick the 2 field goals and MAtty doesn't throw the 2nd pick and we probably win.
Way back in the day before we picked Matty in the draft…the skinny on him was he threw alotta picks. We are seeing that side of him now that we have played some quality opponents,and we are going to have to live with it.
But to his credit, he comes right back and goes to work.
The offense played much better(Turner,Gonzo)but we still need better #2,#3 receviers.
The off season for BIRDS will be very interesting if we cut some non productive weight and move on.
Gotta send love to Brent Grimes for that amaaaazzzzzzing sky he got on the pick. Awesome man, cause he IS one small dude up close,but real fat in his play.
November 3rd, 2009

November 3rd, 2009
1:28 am
Vick fans, get the F*** over yourself, Gee Wizzz!!!!!! Vick could'nt hold Ryan's jock. Vick doesn't have the intelligence to be a good Qb in the NFL and I seriously doubt he will EVER be a starting QB in the League again!!
The Saints are just that good right now. yes, Ryan made some bad throws, but our D-Backs have been our achilles from day one!! Chris Houston SUCKS and Grimes is just too small. he has heart, desire, and spunk, but he is the Falcons version of Rudy
November 3rd, 2009
1:31 am
Ryan is really struggling and this seems to happen a lot when first year guys do well and then are asked to do more and become a bigger part of the offense. His TD was a prayer and could have been just as easily picked off along with a few other of his passes. He'll very likely still be a good player some day, but it may take some time.
November 3rd, 2009
1:35 am
For weeks all we cryed was Michael Turner needs to be benched. Yet, as I have said before most teams prepare for the Birds and M. Turner. Now Turner steps up in primetime and Matty Ice after a hit or two is rattled and seems to play like a scared man. Matty Ice has shown signs of greatness but he Can Not continue to have the love affair for Tony G. The Defense showed a lot of grit tonight against the highest scoring team in the league. But I still can not for the love of my life understand where are the screens, the slot reciever, more throws down field. I think after the last play (throw) of the game, I see Matty Ice Lacks the arm to make the throws. Yes, he will be good in the future but we need him now, Today!!!!
November 3rd, 2009
1:56 am
I would not call the Saints a superior team You have a quaterback that doesn't throw 2 intereceptions and a field goal kicker that missed two chances at scoring you win that game. But teams that do that beat themselves and therefor are very sorry. A real football team that takes pride and goes out and goes for the throat doesn't loose these last two weeks. It's great they can beat the average and the sisters of the poor but until you can beat the big boys you are wimps that don't deserve one dime of what you are stealing out of Arthur Blank's wallet.
November 3rd, 2009
2:29 am
Bring back Mike Vick! Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha. So funny, don't make me laugh my lips are chapped. Falcons are playing pretty tough and will get even better. Mike Vick! Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha.

Simply put, Matt & our receivers lost this game for us. I love my Falcons, but I am disapointed. We should have had this game period.
November 3rd, 2009
5:43 am
We lost the game with bad play calling and Matt Ryan especially trying to hard at the end. They should have ran the ball in but instead another interception, and at least Vick can run my mother in law runs faster than he does. He looked like a scared deer in the night. I just don't know very upset with Elam also. Some players on the team just give up when something happens bad but I still love the team.
November 3rd, 2009
5:46 am
Mark I agree with you about how slow Matt Ryan ran Tom Brady does move faster and we thought he was slow.
November 3rd, 2009
6:18 am
I'm still confounded that with 2 timeouts in our pocket, that the Falcs coaches didn't use one to protect ~ 40 seconds before the first half's two minute warning. That could have made a difference in a controlled attack down field to score vs the riskier plays Ryan was forced to take. Having been on the sidelines and served as a staffer in the legislature, I understand game pressure. But that is why you find your procedural guru to advise Smitty and to think on multiple levels even in the heat of the moment. As proof that this is important, think of the PHI game last year where, without a time out, we couldn't compel a booth review on that horrid punt reception that didn't hit the returner's foot. Other teams get it wrong as well. Both PHI & DC have called for their "4th time out" and suffered a "delay of game" penalty.
November 3rd, 2009
7:15 am
The Falcon's defensive secondary stinks. And I mean badly. They are not able to match-up with the NFL's new breed of receivers. Take a look at Marques Colston for example. He's 6′4″ and towers over our corners and safeties, and when it comes to defending the pass against receivers that size, the Falcons don't stand a chance. The Falcons have also shown they are incapable of drafting a defensive back that has not patterned his style after Deion Sanders…(minus the speed or the shut-down threat.) I'm making a plea to Mr. Arthur Blank on behalf of all that is sacred and good. Please sir, please, draft at least two shut down defensive backs. Make some trades. Make some business decisions. Do something. There's no excuse for what the New Orleans Saints receivers did to our Falcons last night. If that did not expose the secondary in your eyes, nothing will.
November 3rd, 2009
7:23 am
The defensive seconday and Starting QB need to be benched. PERIOD. Ryan has been and probably will always be just adaquate.
November 3rd, 2009
7:44 am
I thought Matty played well considering the pressure he received from NO. I was impressed with the way the offense positioned themselves to score at the end – thought Bartkowski was about to do it again. I think they'll be ready when NO goes to Atlanta. Saints – Falcons, always exciting.
November 3rd, 2009
8:02 am
The Falcons WILL BEAT the Saints when they come to Atlnata! Take that to the bank!!!!!
November 3rd, 2009
8:13 am
looks like snow white and his wonder boy did it again.Wonder boy{ryan} is not as good as he thinks he is.You have been shammed again Mr. Blank.
November 3rd, 2009
8:18 am
Stop hating. The Falcons played hard, but the Saints played harder. They both made mistakes.. but the better team won. Just admit that N.O. has a great team this year. and South GA don't worry we will whip that AZZ in yall dome. The division is already ours. Trust me the Saints will step up their game, hell yall got real desperate towards the end and started playing dirty. But it's cool… 7-0 and what yall are …… 4 – 3.. and soon to be 4- 4.. Trust me! We got this.. LMAO
November 3rd, 2009
8:29 am
Why do you guys want to throw Ryan under the bus? He played a good game. NO was just better, period.
I remember a few games ago Drew Breeze threw several picks and it almost cost them two games. NO is on a GOOD Lucky streak with lots' of talent to boot. Definitely a contender for the Superbowl.
Let's see how New England and Brady play them or how Farve will play them in the playoff's….Remember we get another chance in our house. Maybe we get the Zebra calls this time our way!
November 3rd, 2009
8:35 am
I love The Falcons and they played a good game, so what if the Saints are 7-0 It wont last!!! And please know when they come to the Ga. Dome a rematch and we will win!!!!! Lets see how they play Tom Brady and the Patriots 11/30/09. So enjoy this luck now, If you make it to the super bowl you wont win!!!!! and I hope the money from the tickets sale go to your city so you guys can leave ATLANTA!!!!!
November 3rd, 2009
8:48 am
Ok now i get it… All these cry babies complaining about the refs… Well Roddy pushed of on his long touchdown.. Face it folks, The Falcons are a 4-3 middle of the road team. Matt Ryan is a plain jane, average QB that has gotten alot of hype for nothing. Stop blaming everybody else. Your team is blah, and you QB is suspect… He has never beaten a top flight team. Grow up and just accept it, 7-9 or 8-8 will be just fine for this bunch of 2nd teamers….
November 3rd, 2009
9:09 am
People, will get over it?
M. Ryan was under the gun all night long and still had a chance to win the game. The Saints are a better TEAM than the Falcons this year. The Saints will beat the Falcons when they come to the dome too THIS YEAR because the Saints have a better team. The Falcons still need some more parts (another db, pass rusher, tight end, a wide receiver who doesn't drop balls, and better kick resturner, and a younger kicker.) Give T. D and Mike Smith another year or two.
And to all of the Vick people (yes I am a fan of the man still), please let it go. M. Vick has move on to another city and so should we. M. Ryan is good qb. M. Vick's departure was because of his own actions. He has honed up to it. He is not coming back to the team. The team has moved on. We as fans need to as well. Let it go!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Aint's fans, don't come here attacking us to justify barely winning a game you should have put away in the first half. You have been exposed. This should have been a game you "win" by 30 points. What happened?
We have a make shift defense, half of which we just pulled from Kroger and put on the field and you only scored 7 points in the second half?
What happened? But, But, But……….. You were exposed.
I'm not expecting the Falcons to do much this year. I didn't think before the season that they would even have a winning record because of the difficulty of their schedule. They Aint's have had this team together since 2006 and what do they have to show for it?? Crickets……………………………………………………………………………………………………………………….
Hopefully we just helped Dallas and New England. I hope they trash the Aint's!
November 3rd, 2009

You haters are simply retarded. All emotion and no rational thought. You have no idea what you are talking about and do not deserve for your opinions to be heard. Finish your cereal and go back down to your mom's basement so you can play 17 more games of Madden. The only football you know you learned from Playstation.
November 3rd, 2009

All I want to say is Who Dat, Who Dat, Who Dat talking about beating them Saints Who Dat.
November 3rd, 2009
9:38 am
Falcons should have won this game!! The Saints made uncharacteristic turnovers and the Falcons failed to take advantage of them. As much as I hate to say it, Matt Ryan is looking shakier with each game. Why does he insist on forcing passes to Tony Gonzalez? Turner should have been called to run for a touchdown, after that spectacular run he made, instead of Ryan forcing the throw to Tony that got intercepted. When are we getting a new place kicker? Elam has failed us too many times. Great Monday Night Game, though.
November 3rd, 2009
9:56 am
Scott you have got to be kidding me. Matt is doing fine. You need to get over the fact that Michael Vick want be coming back to the Falcons.
November 3rd, 2009
10:18 am
I love Matt Ryan, and think that he will work wonders for the franchise. However, over the course of the last few games, he has seemed to lose a lot of his patience or "coolness" in the pocket. He made some hasty throws/reads last night and almost stepped into a few sacks that he could have clearly avoided. I know the Saints were showing some different blitz packages last night, but I think Matt thought he had less time than he actually did on numerous occasions.
November 3rd, 2009
12:12 pm
Skee Wee90 are you serious? Both teams played good, from beginning to end. My Saints just played a little harder. And on Dec 13th, we'll see ya'll again and shut ya'll out in your own house. We'll bring the Bayou to Atl.
November 3rd, 2009
6:29 pm
Once again the big hype before the season started, Falcons, Super Bowl Champs this year. When will fans learn. Different year, players,coach, but SAME OLD FALCONS. LOSERS. Once again fans can say, maybe next year. Go Steelers, 6 time Super Bowl champs.
November 4th, 2009
8:44 pm
I have never been more proud of the Falcon's effort than during this game. Maybe somethings could have been done differently, called differently or had better outcomes. But effort wise, I think this is hands down the best showing of our teamTEAM ever, in my humble opinion.
November 6th, 2009
1:30 pm
I could care less about the loss. Finally a QB with class that will get better. A coach with passsion and a desire to be successful. A GM with balls to make a decision. (Ryan, Gonzalez, Turner). Throw the records out. This year the schedule is brutal, but this group is headed in the right direction.

Barack Obama spent $150 million to win primaries he wasn't going to lose.
Rick Santorum isn't going away. He's just not. Say what you want, do what you want, pretend what you will and with whom, this dude is in it for the long haul because, in short, he's pretty much an asshole with no sense of mercy. Because a person with a sense of mercy would have cut out of this race ten weeks ago, before the sweater vests had gotten creepy and he had to resort to making ads with weird mashed-up Romney and Obama faces and telling people it was a giant conspiracy that he was going to lose. The next step is obviously predicting the coming Mayan zombie apocalypse will be heralded by the election of a Mormon. Except that he won't talk about zombies because they're not family friendly.
You think I'm joking but I'm actually not. Ask him about the zombie apocalypse and see what happens. Because we're all f***ed. I guarantee you.
At this point, he's forced Mitt Romney to spend something like $75 million winning a nomination that will probably be meaningless come November, and yes, I'm being a pessimist and yes, its because I'm trapped somewhere in the third book of Hunger Games. Which is fine. Its his prerogative to make everyone in America hate him. And its not like Mitt Romney having to trade in his car elevator for a couple of million in liquid campaign assets is going to kill him. You're supposed to spend money walloping your opponent into the ground. This is Whack-a-Mole for real people.
Unless you're Barack Obama, because, despite being actually being unopposed (as opposed to Mitt Romney's mere figurative opposition) for his own nomination, has somehow spent $150 million running in the primaries.
By the end of February, the Obama campaign had earned more than $170 million, compared to just $75 million for GOP frontrunner Mitt Romney. Ryan Steufloff with WPA Opinion Research says each are spending tens of million to win primaries, set up offices in each state and put out the word about their campaigns.
"You're looking at about a cost of just under $15 per vote that Romney has spent," says Steufloff. "For Obama, he's really running unopposed so the numbers there are not at important or relevant." But the Heritage Foundation's Brian Darling disagrees, and points out the president has spent $150 million in primaries where he's unopposed.
"The fact that he has spent more than all Republicans combined should really raise eyebrows for campaign finance lawyers, to understand why he needs to spend so much money so early in the campaign season," says Darling.
There are two reasons that I can think of for this. One, that he's afraid of being embarrassed at the convention by random lunatic who collects twenty delegates in a state primary somewhere and then holds them for ransom in order to prevent Obama from being unanimously elected as president of the Democrats OR, he's in way worse shape than we thought he was. In terms of the former, that's totally already happened and the DNC "took care of it" by counting on Randall Terry to be too dumb to actually name a delegate who was not himself. The latter seems outrageously outrageous, but plausible if you consider where Obama's poll numbers have been in swing states. But this is also a primary, and he's still being judged as a President and not as regarding a possible second helping, so the depth of concern is confusing, unless private polls indicate that without a firm, early foundation, he's pretty much f***ed.
There's a third possibility, of course, and that is just that his campaign team isn't entire sure where the targets will be, and are only counting out places like Texas, where losses are all but guaranteed, and they're starting early because they know Romney washes them on most issues Obama can claim as high moral ground. It also could indicate that there will be massive voter registration and GOTV drives in swing states, all of which need to be organized early, and all of which helped Obama immensely in 2008.
The good news for America is that this could be the first billion dollar Presidential campaign, which you should remember when, in the coming Mayan zombie apocalypse, you're eating beans out of a can that you cooked over a fire started by the detonation of a nuclear weapon.

These are heirloom quality tables, completely hand made with no mass production involved. These are very rare, real Syrian imports and MBW is the only supplier of this fine Syrian mosaic furniture in the USA.

why a WHITE zipper on a green tablecloth
By Mari
from Iowa
I was very unhappy to unfold the tablecloth and see a WHITE zipper on a green tablecloth. Ugly! Instead of disappearing into the background, it stuck out like a sore thumb. Why wouldn't you have chosen a matching color zipper?
Bottom LineNo, I would not recommend this to a friend
Excellent Protector of Wooden Tables
By Kripptonite
from Roanoke, VA
It took less than two minuteds to take the cover out of the wrapping and put it on our table. There is a precut hole with a zipper and elastic all the way around. A win win, the elastic keeps it from flying around, and the zipper makes for a snug fit and since it's made of plastic type material, wipes clean in a jiffy and protects our oblong wooden outdoor dining table. Wish it came in more colors.

Nice cover fits perfectly
By retired birdman
from maryland
On out patio for quick outdoor meals. It's usually windy and other table cloths flap around. This item fits perfectly and its green color matches the rest of our patio furniture. The only reason I didn't give it 5 stars is the zipper doesn't match the color of the table cloth: zipper is white, table cloth is green floral. But it didn't bother my very picky wife, she loves how easy it is to install and it looks terrific.

About Me High-end Shopper
The tablecloth fits my table just right. It has elastic so it hugs the table and on my deck it gets very windy. so I don't have to worry about it blowing off. It is sturdy and wipes right off.
High Quality

We use this at our Marina Dock for our Boat table. It is awesome and hard to find in stores with the zipper for the umbrella. Perfect size. All our our Marina Dock neighbors love it and have ordered theirs!
I wish I had bought two of them!!
By Beverly Boop
from Roseburg, Oregon
I searched everywhere for one of these for 3 yeaars. I was thriled to death when I finally found one. I really love it!! Very easy to use and fits perfect!
By Busha
from Palmyra, WI
I love it, I leave it on the table all the time, now when it rains I don't have to keep cleaning the glass table, I simply wipe off the cover. Its much easier to keep xlean.
Did not fit my 39 x 63 table
By Snowshoe Mom
from Colorado
I have purchased this same product in the round size before for my round table and it worked and fit great. I even left it on year round in the snow. It did loose the elasticity so had to replace after winter. The product is great, the oval size just wouldn't go on my 39 x 63 table that I just purchased.

Much of the documentation for this book was based on never-before-used archival material.
Erik Larson is the author of the historical narrative, "In the Garden of Beasts," which details the life of William E. Dodd. Dodd became America's first ambassador to Adolf Hitler's Germany in Berlin during 1933. The story follows Dodd and his family, including daughter Martha, as they interact with Joseph Goebbels, Hermann Goring and other top level members of the Third Reich during the years leading up to World War II. The book chronicles Martha's relationships with various authors including Carl Sandburg and Thomas Wolfe, as well as high-ranking Germans. It also tells the story of Ambassador Dodd's growing frustration with America's lack of action against the Third Reich. Erik Larson has authored three New York Times bestsellers, including "The Devil in the White City," and "Isaac's Storm." Larson was a staff writer for the Wall Street Journal, and a contributing writer for Time Magazine. He has written articles for The Atlantic, Harper's, The New Yorker, and other publications.

Lusane speaks of his formative childhood years, including his vivid memories of when his mother and sister were shot during a city-wide riot in Detroit in July of 1967.
Gary Walters talks about his career as White House usher. He became Chief White House Usher in 1986 and retired in January of 2007.

Embraer Cuts First Metal for Legacy 450 Mid-light Jet
Embraer Executive Jets announced yesterday that the first part was milled last week for its Legacy 450, ushering in the start of the mid-light twinjet's fabrication. The first part, an unspecified component of the forward fuselage, was milled from a block of aluminum alloy. Once completed, the part was approved by a quality control process that employed the use of laser devices for design validation with the digital mockup.
This first metal cut comes after completion of the joint definition phase for the aircraft in May. The detailed design and certification phase is ongoing and the critical design reviews are scheduled to be completed by the end of this month.
For both the fly-by-wire Legacy 450 and 500, Embraer has completed more than 8,000 systems test hours, with 2,500 hours logged on the "iron bird" since November 2010. Legacy 500 S/N 001 is continuing the completion of its pre-flight testing program, having completed taxi, ground vibration and fuel system tests. The aircraft is on track to fly later this year, Embraer said, followed by certification late next year. Approval of the slightly smaller Legacy 450 is slated to follow by about a year.

Rated 4 out of 5Â by Hollings Comfort, but lacking durability I thought hey since I love foam rolling my feet why not put that into my shoe. The shoes look cool and feel great. Socks seem to be a must if you plan on wearing them for long periods of time. I wear them to work everyday at a hostel and with all my puttering about they are amazingly comfortable. Two issues-- first they do not breath very easily and in the New Orleans summertime this is an issue. Second, the shoe is flexible, but seems to lack durability. I wear them almost everyday and I am afraid I will wear through them in no time. This is concerning due to the price point. Overall though, I am happy with my purchase and would buy another pair if the price goes down $20 8/2/14
Rated 4 out of 5Â by cak89 very comfortable...but sweaty If you are prone to having hot sweaty feet, these shoes may not be for you as they have very little breathability. These shoes are very comfortable, especially post-wod and are easy to slip off and on. I normally wear an 8 1/2, but since these shoes do not come in half sizes, I ordered the 9 and it fits perfectly. I love that these shoes can just be wiped out with a wet cloth or thrown in the washing machine...kind of makes up for the hot, sweaty feet problem. Overall, I definitely recommend these shoes if you are looking for something easy and comfortable to wear to and from the gym. 6/23/14
Rated 5 out of 5Â by Sherski3 So amazingly comfortable! All of my Reebok purchases have been true to size until I bought these. I had to return my first pair as the 7 was too small ! My big toe crushed into the end. I just recvd. my re-order, size 8 & they fit PERFECTLY!! A little work putting them on the first time. I wish the tab was in the back of the shoe instead of up front. But I got them on & they feel so comfortable & very light. On durability, I gave them "slightly exceeded..." as I just got them & haven't used them to see how they will hold up, BUT the quality of the shoe looks great. I don't think I will be sorry I bought these. Love the color! 1/31/14
Rated 4 out of 5Â by Blondiefiveoh Order a size larger With it being the winter already I wanted to purchase some shoes that you could wear after a good workout. Since the majority of my Reebok shoes run a little big I decided to order a size smaller. I got excited when they finally came in to find that they run much smaller than my nano speeds. I was afraid that my toe would break through the fabric. They look pretty sweet and I hope I can get a size bigger and go from there. They look pretty sweet and are super light. 12/11/13
Rated 5 out of 5Â by Ebarnes1117 Super comfy just runs small I had read the reviews that the shoes may run small but I wasn't totally convinced to go up a size mainly because I would have to go up a full size not just a half size. When I got them I loved the color! I put them on my feet and they were most definitely too small. I even walked around my house to make sure. I ended up calling the reebok customer service and ordering the next size up. I sent back my size 6 and got a size 7. They fit perfect! 8/21/14
Rated 5 out of 5Â by Eddiefb Wow! When I first saw the CrossFit Nanosage, I was a bit skeptical by the styling and if they would actually fit. These are one of the most comfortable shoes I've ever put on. Designed for post workouts but I will be wearing these as often as possible! Liked them so much, I bought a pair for my wife. 1/4/14
Rated 4 out of 5Â by TammyTwo Wish they looked better These are very comfortable, but they do kind of look a bit like crocs, ha. As long as you don't care what people think, wear away! If Reebok came out with a narrower version of these I would buy them in a heartbeat, because they are very comfortable. I agree with the other reviewer who said we need a summer version we can wear with shorts. Because I'm going to draw the line at wearing these with shorts. 3/13/14
Rated 5 out of 5Â by neyney1221 Love these!! I got them for Christmas and have worn them post-wod, as well as while I'm coaching on the floor. They are super comfortable and feel great after my feet have been crammed into my Oly shoes for a while. I definitely recommend them. The bottoms are so soft that I refuse to wear them outside of our gym because I don't want to mess up the nice cushion and massaging bumps. 1/7/14
Rated 5 out of 5Â by Haugen3 Love these shoes! Awesome shoes! I usually wear an 8.5 and ordered a 9 based on other reviews. They fit perfect. I love wearing them post WOD for a nice foot massage. Highly recommended! 8/1/14
Rated 3 out of 5Â by karkar12 comfy but falling apart I got my nanosasges for christmas, i wore them a few times to coach in and once to travel in and they are fallimg apart! The plastic is ripping! Ill be lucky if I get another month out of them before theyre shredded. Love the shoes but they really should have a better material covering the top!!! 2/4/14

Before winter begins, put together a winter storm survival kit for your vehicle. Take that old coat, those old clothes, and that old pair of boots that you want to throw away (or your wife wants you to throw away), put them all in a duffle bag, and throw them in the back of your vehicle. Also, throw in a sleeping bag and/or warm blankets. High calorie, non-perishable foods should be included as they will help your body stay warm if you become stranded for a prolonged period of time.Sign up to receive our Daily Safety and Preparedness Tips

K. Meizter makes his solo debut with Travelling Light after five successful years in BEYOND SENSORY EXPERIENCE.
