Review of chapter "0.3" from
Thank you for continuing the series. I enjoyed them when I first found the originals and continue to enjoy them here. Action, adventure, great evil, humor and add beautiful ladies, what's not to like with these stories. Thanks for sharing with us and please keep doing so.

No Ash Williams yet you have the Necronomicon. What's up with that

Necronomicon is a Lovecraft reference, pre-dating Ash Williams
by over fifty years.

Review of chapter "Less Than Grateful" from
Quite enjoying the multiple crossovers. I can see this is building up to quite an event when the final battle takes place.
The fight scenes seem a bit formulaic so far, but I think the variety will improve as the story progresses. The relationships seem to be developing as well. I find the idea of Tara gaining self-confidence very appealing.
I do have a comment re the excommunication of Padre Richeur. I think it more likely the Church wouldn't have excommunicated him (Church Dogma would also require much worse charges for excommunication). The Church is much more politically intelligent than that and is much more careful with potential troublemakers. If the Church didn't execute him, then he would have been assigned to a mission in some third-world country where they could keep an eye on him, and bury him with assignments, reporting requirements, and so on. That way he'd also still be serving the Church, but in an out-of-the-way highly isolated place with slow communications where he could do much less harm. Some village deep in the Amazon jungle for example. Such an assignment also lets the Church keep a very close eye on him. Being excommunicated...the Church loses control and oversight and is much less likely to be able to prevent him causing further trouble for the Church.
Comments from author:
For the finale, yeah I have a location, an army, a foe, and an
enemy. Just gotta work out the battle now....
Yeah, Tara needed her time to shine. The trouble with the show
was that the spotlight was never really on her (lots of characters
post Season 3 never got it), so she never had chance to develop.
But now she's Doc Strange's apprentice.
As for the Padre. I'm aware of my fudging as regards excommunication,
but following closer to church dogma didn't really serve the story and
what I wanted to do with the character, so....
Thanks for the review.

Review of chapter "0.2" from
Not knowing anything about Freelance Restorations, I don't know if you're just being faithful to the source material, but you should be aware that in modern usage, the term 'Chinaman' is at best pejorative, and at worst a full out racial slur.
Likewise, the term 'oriental' (much like the term occidental), are meant to describe objects, not people. It's use as descriptive of a person is seen as dehumanizing, and thus racist.
Aside from this (unintentional, I hope) bit of racism, I did enjoy this story arc. The only complaint I have is that you spend so much time and effort building up the villian, only for him to be taken down rather quickly.
Comments from author:
Black Jack Tarr is an old-fashioned racist, so yeah, he would talk like that.

Review of chapter "Mithras Chronicles Chapter 1" from
> "Nerve gas."
One of the things that makes modern nerve gases so deadly is they are absorbed through the skin, not just when inhaled. While a vampire almost certainly wouldn't get killed by such a gas, the fact that they can get drunk shows they're not completely immune to toxins. Depending on the gas, this should result in anything from a lack of coordination to unconsciousness -- not a total lack of effect.
Comments from author:
Interesting consideration.

I'm glad that Xan and Faith are looking good but how is everything between Tara and Ken? no fights no romantic dinners? I'd love to see a little interlude with them being the subject :D

Review of chapter "Demons of the Past" from
And this is where I finally lose my patience with your fic. It had potential but you just never managed to impress me with your xander and crew actually seeming to improve. Every time it seemed like they'd actually maybe start getting better, you'd have another fight and manage to make Xander regress in fighting ability.
He hasn't had his skills for a few weeks, he's worked on his skills for FIVE YEARS. He COMPLETED his training recently, yes. But you didn't describe his training as some instant download like the Matrix, you described it as him getting trained in basically time compression.
And yet every fucking half assed minion gets to punch Xander around like a chump. And Xander and crew piss their pants over Kakistos the guy without opposable thumbs who has ALREADY been killed once. And that was without guns that can kill vampires.
And for fucks sake, what the hell kind of shotgun is Xander using that it's empty after 4 shots? And why is Xander the only one with guns? He shot the 2 guards, 1 shell each, the 2 vamps just inside, 1 shot each, then puts away the EMPTY gun.
Did the dumbass forget to reload it after its last use or something? Then you have Tara and Faith using crossbows? What happened to all those guns and ammo he got, did he give it all away?
Each of them with guns, shooting the fucking vamps, game over before Kakistos rises. And 40 miles travel took them 90 minutes?
Sorry but you try too hard to make your heroes struggle, but in doing so you just make them look weak or stupid, if not both.
Comments from author:
Was going to classify your review as "constructive honest criticism", but after going through the reviews you've left other fics, I've come to the conclusion you're one of those saddos who gets off flaming and tearing people's stories apart, while not having the stones to publish anything yourself. So I guess I've been Barnetted.
Thanks for the review.

Review of chapter "Down Mexico Way" from
It's getting old seeing your Xander with 5 years training in tactics and strategy and leadership constantly acting like a dumbass high school grad with no training. He's not fucking possessed by Mithras either, you've NEVER shown him being possessed by Mithras.
You showed Mithras train Xander mystically/mentally for five years so he could act in his stead. So what is this shit about Mithras being out right now, so Xander is clueless about planning?
I hope you actually got on the ball about this later in the fic and decided if Mithras is possessing Xander so he won't be such a useless moron, or if Xander got TRAINED by Mithras so Xander won't be a useless moron.
Because honestly, it seems like every step forward Xander takes, you have him jump back 5 steps.

Review of chapter "Chapter One" from
Hopefully Xander will actually get a boost above human peak, because right now his 'power up' is incredibly tame, not 'lead a vast army to save the world' level really, especially since despite 5 years of training Xander is still lacking any new self-confidence. It's more like he got an instant download so his personality is exactly the same, rather than spending 5 years in compressed time being trained, which would alter his personality at least some.
And not so impressed by the super bank. The instant the account goes active everybody in the universe knows its active and WHO the account holder is. For fucks sake, the swiss and cayman banks are more secure info wise than that. I'd expect far more from this 'super bank' than that sort of shoddy ass security.

Nice to see the loonies of the Doc at the very end, and shocking to see what happened with Xander there, while looking forward to the next big bad they'll have to get down and dirty with.

Review of chapter "0.2" from
I've got questions.
"When did she go missing?" demanded the group's oldest member, the weathered-looking Kostmayer.
"Six weeks ago," Parrish sighed, sudden weariness and worry weighing him down.
Direct Question, Direct Answer. This reads as she been 6 weeks missing.
Next Paragraph, She's only left town 3 weeks ago, and has been out of contact only 2 weeks.
"Six weeks ago Jessica approached me with a quite frankly absurd tale of an island off the south-east coast of Africa, just about opposite the Angolan-Namibian border ruled by a mystery despot who'd spent much of the last century experimenting on people. She wanted me to finance an investigation. I did, she left three weeks ago with strict instructions to contact us on a daily basis which she has failed to do."
"When was the last contact?" queried Kostmayer.
"Two weeks ago." Parrish paused momentarily before continuing. "Look, her safety is my responsibility as her employer. When she didn't return, I was obligated to do all I could to get her back."
After Xan rescues the Mercs, the fate of the reported is left a mystery.
Was she rescued?
Comments from author:
The last contact means phone calls, emails, she hasn't
actually been seen for 5 - 6 weeks. I hope that clears
that up. :D
The reporter's dead. Probably dissected in an experiment.

It comes complete with fun intro screen with a "ball" that slowly eats away at the title (spoiler alert: it doesn't ever eat the whole thing, it checkerboards it as you might expect if you think hard about the mechanics of it) and a "Game Over" screen. Here are some more little tidbits:
- The game plays to a score of 7 right now because I didn't feel like implementing multi-digit scores.
- There's no color at all (just black and white). I have no idea how to make it color, since I don't know anything about how the TV interface works.
- It can be played using one "controller" or two. I only had one potentiometer at the time, so it's configured for one controller that controls both paddles. But having two controllers should work just fine. Just alter the WHEEL_TWO_PIN setting.
- Paddle sizes are configurable if you want to mess with that.
- Most of the #defines can be tinkered with to alter the game experience except for "LEFT" and "RIGHT" which are used exclusively for scoring, so just ignore those.
- There's a very simple hardware setup. I found that only a couple resistors (a 1K and 330) were required for both TVs I tested on.
If you don't care to build your own, you can just check out a video here:
(note that I added the "eats away at the title" feature after making the video, so just use your imagination there).
You can see a picture of my hardware setup, along with complete source code, here:

Review Summary:
The Canon N breathes new life into the hum-drum world of traditional creative modes and effects pallets. For a point-and-shoot camera, it has more to offer than its tiny frame leads us to believe.
Designed for the creative person who likes a bit of adventure in their imagery, the Canon N enters the market as an extremely pocketable point-and-shoot. This tiny camera packs quite a bit into it's seriously small 3.09 x 2.37 x 1.15 inch body--a 12.1-megapixel 1/2.3-inch CMOS sensor, a 8x zoom lens with a 28-224 mm (equivalent), and a 2.8-inch TFT LCD screen--leaving very little room for anything else. If the size and shape of the camera don't have you taking a second look, the Creative Shot feature will. This feature is not your average creative mode. It's actually quite interesting and gives the user a total of six unique images including the original. But is the creative shot mode enough to have you purchasing the Canon N?

Texas based photographer Matthew Genitempo has got a hefty flickr worth a look.
Texas based photographer Matthew Genitempo has got a hefty flickr worth a look.
The dazzling lights of David LaChapelle's hyper-realistic photographs, glinting from neon and metallic and shimmering objects, send a hazy glow into the dark background; a magical aura that conjures up memories of fairground rides and bonfire nights and hot breath misting up the air in front of you. The photographer's images are no less magical really; they draw you in, bedazzled and bewildered, like a ditzy moth drawn to a lamp, and then surprise you by being even more brilliant than you realised at first.
Imagine for a moment that the shoebox under your bed was filled not with photos of your Great Aunt June snoozing on the sofa last Christmas, but with photographs taken in space by astronauts on Apollo 14. For a lucky few at NASA this is (almost) true, and fortunately they're more than happy to share their treasures with us proles in the form of a new exhibition at London's BREESE Little Gallery.
I think we can all agree that in the past few years food photography has pretty much reigned the internet as far as image-porn blogging is concerned. And yes, photographing tangerines on bright blue backgrounds does always look nice, we get it. But among the thousands of people documenting food in order to gain online notoriety there are some photographers who are known in the industry as the ones who can really, really shoot food.
The debate over so-called "ruin porn" has raged for several years now, exploring the cultural and ethical ramifications of turning the decrepit and dilapidated into art. But if anyone could breathe new life into this kind of project, it's Nadav Kander. The photographer's new show Dust opens in London today, and takes as its epigraph the T.S Eliot line: "I will show you fear in a handful of dust."
The best portrait photography is truly mesmerising; a compliment which can surely be paid to Alex Ten Napel's series of Alzheimer's patients. In a somewhat ironic manner, the Dutch photographer has created enrapturing, memorable images of elderly and enigmatic faces. They're both heartbreaking and joyful, delightful and despairing, as Alex has caught "that specific moment portrait photographers wait for: the moment in which posture and facial expression come together in a meaningful manner."
There's not an amateur photographer alive who hasn't got a roll of film back from the developing booth of their local supermarket to find that almost every picture is clouded over by a giant fleshy finger. Usually it obstructs most if not all of the image and sends the photograph itself catapulting straight into the nearest bin in a fit of frustration.
A year on since we first covered George Osodi's work on the site he continues to astound us. The Lagos-based photographer produces some of the most incredible photojournalism I've ever seen; this series Nigeria Monarchs: The Custodians of Peace and Cultural Heritage documents the figures across Nigeria who, in spite of having no constitutional rule since the monarchy was officially abolished in 1963, remain key personalities in the country's political landscape. The travelling exhibition had a stint in London last year and is about to open in Budapest, Hungary, serving as further proof (if any was needed) of the curiosity which exists worldwide about these majestic and exotic figures. What's more George hopes to photograph 100 of the monarchs, so the collection is not due to stop growing any time soon.
September is always a time for nostalgia; it's that back-to-school, turning-of-the-seasons vibe that goes hand-in-hand with a certain sense of self-reflection. Few moments stick in our minds and come to define our personal stories more than our first kiss; that giddy mixture of nerves, anticipation and a feeling of the moment's huge significance that rarely tallies with the physical reality! For its latest brief, MOPHOTO are working with Cornetto and asking young photographers to create an image of a first kiss that captures that dizzying array of emotions in a single visual.
I'm loth to comment on summer's swift disappearance or the vague possibility that it might get warm again in the coming weeks, but how can I miss the opportunity which this series by Anaïs Boileau has so generously handed me? This brilliant photo-series examines the women who live for a tan, happily sunning themselves with foil trays pressed to their chins and eye-protectors plastered to their sockets. There's something gently teasing and kind of funny but also really well-constructed about her images – the props make for a natural frame so you're confronted with a very immediate manifestation of our society's obsession with bronzed skin, which seems more ridiculous the longer you think about it.
Family life can be strange, unsettling and oppressive as well as happy, funny and ridiculous, and it's this sometimes-sinister underside of the domestic sphere photographer Joanna Piotrowska seeks to elevate with her series FROWST. Her black and white images capture ambivalence and double meaning in the family home; brothers and sisters lie awkwardly across one another and pull at each other's bodies in strangely stagnant compositions, while oddly familiar environments are imbued with a quiet strangeness that's not entirely new.
Riley wanted to be like Tom Sawyer and Huckleberry Finn when he grew up; he wanted to hunt for treasure and go on adventures. Riley's never forgotten the magical lure of finding hidden pennies and bottle tops, silver and scraps, and when scavenging he finds himself transformed into a mythical adventurer like a character in a tale by Mark Twain.
Where do dreams come true? "Disneyland!" squeal the indoctrinated masses. Sadly, the dream's over for the exhibits of Yesterland, which is a photo archive of rides, restaurants and rodeos which are no more. Or, as Yesterland likes to style itself, "a theme park on the web."
There's something wonderfully honest about Kieran Kesner's portraits of Ukraine. His camera acknowledges there's a civil war tearing the country apart – there are protests and soldiers and guns and casualties – but this isn't the sum total of what is happening there. There are still priests saying prayers and farmers plucking potatoes from the fields and cyclists on their bikes; what we see on the news is only part of the story Kieran suggests.

ATLANTA -- Braves second baseman Dan Uggla, a three-time All-Star, says he is "disappointed and upset" to be left off the NL division series roster.
Uggla hit only .179 with 22 homers and ranked third in the NL with 171 strikeouts. His struggles continued following laser eye surgery in August. He hit .083 in August and .112 in September.
Uggla didn't speak to reporters on Wednesday, when the roster was announced.
He said before Thursday night's game "it hurts" to not be part of the effort to advance to the NLCS.
Uggla was embraced by Dodgers players during batting practice.
Braves manager Fredi Gonzalez says he hopes Uggla travels with the team to Los Angeles after Game 2 of the series on Friday night.

After a signing ceremony for a Veterans Day proclamation, Gov. Nathan Deal held a first post-election scrum with reporters.
Among the topics: The Atlanta Falcons' drive to replace the 20-year-old Georgia Dome with a new $1 billion facility with a retractable roof. The governor will have to sign, and the Legislature approve, an increase in the bonding capacity of the Georgia World Congress Authority.
Deal was asked about hints that the Falcons have been dropping, that leaving the city – perhaps for Los Angeles – might be an option. Should people in Atlanta be concerned? the governor was asked. Replied Deal:
"I don't know how to answer that question, because nobody has suggested that's an option that's on the table now. I did meet with the commissioner of the NFL, Mr. [Roger] Goodell, and met with the authorities of the Atlanta Falcons this week. We had a good meeting. We had a good discussion….
That really is an issue that addresses itself to the Legislature, and I'm sure there will be a very health discussion about it. But I have not taken any position on that right now."
It's a tricky issue, another reporter pointed out. The governor continued:
"There could be consequences, of course, if a new stadium is determined to be appropriate. There's a lot to be said for the fact that we have a very good Dome. And I think there's got to be a little further explanation to the public, and probably to members of the General Assembly, to explain the necessity of changing that, and going to a new stadium."
Perhaps this doesn't need translating, but when you have a governor say that you need to make the case for a particular item, that means you haven't done so yet.
(Updated at 8:45 p.m.: Kim Shreckengost, speaking for the Falcons, declares that any reports of the Falcons' threats of departure are untrue. "The Falcons are on record regarding the club's commitment to Atlanta, and their preference to remain downtown," she said this evening.)
The governor was also asked what Republicans need to do to get back in the presidential game. Deal found no fault with Mitt Romney, but blame for Tuesday night on Todd Akin in Missouri and Richard Mourdock in Indiana:
"Make sure that their nominees for various offices don't say crazy things that cause political backlashes. Especially United States Senate [races] – it's very evident that good people said very unusual things and those statements had severe political consequences.
"I feel there's going to be a more thorough vetting of candidates, pehaps, which is not all bad. That is difficult to do when you have open primaries…But I think this election cycle, especially [at the] U.S. Senate level, emphasized the importance of having candidates who truly do manifest the main positions of the party."
What does the GOP need to do to widen its tent and attract more minorities?
"I think they need to recognize, as we've tried to do here, that there are issues that transcend traditional party labels. There are things that are considered to be important by the electorate that do not necessarily hinge on whose idea it was. For our state, criminal justice reform is a classic example of that. It certainly bridged the party divide….I'm going to encourage the party at the state level to do that."
On the significance of Republicans in the possibly reaching a two-thirds "supermajority" in both the House and Senate by January, the governor said this:
"I think it does, of course, add a little bit of assistance to very difficult issues, to be able to corral the number of votes, but as a practical matter, there are very few issues where a supermajority is actually important….I don't know that that ratio has a whole lot of practical significance, quite frankly."
The presidential election also made permanent the health care reforms pushed through by President Barack Obama. Deal has some epic decisions to make. Most immediately, he must declare by Nov. 16 whether the state will build and operate new online exchanges where consumers and small businesses can shop for affordable insurance — or leave it to the federal government. Deal all but said he's not likely to touch it:
"I have not made the final, conclusive decision public yet. We have until the 16th to notify the federal authorities as to what the state's position will be. There's always the possibility that they may decide that they're going to liberalize the flexibility that states will be granted under the exchange. I've seen no evidence of that at this point.
"Until that deadline is arrived at I will not take an official position, but unless there's some further indication that we will be given flexibility – which was what we thought we would have when the legislation first was passed, but has eroded away over the year – I at this point don't foresee any change in my position.

I know what YOUR president cares about, double, and it ain't you. Check out the Rasmussen Daily Tracking Poll for today. Things ain't looking too good for your soon-to-be ex-president. Can you say, "Bye, Bye Barak"? Better get used to it! You going to call a wake for election night? If you do, get plenty of liquor and tell everybody it's a BYOG (Bring Your Own Gun) event!

Let the Hotel/Motel tax pay for it and get on with it. Atlanta can either choose to keep up with it's competitors here or fall behind.

I just don't believe Daddy Deal loves us the way Chris Christie loves his Jersey folks. Would this man hold hands with the President to save us from drowning? HA! Not a chance. Of course he does not care whether small-businessmen and entrepreneurs can access affordable health insurance options. You don't need a doctor. "Just put a little robitussin on it!"

So Georgia cannot afford Medicare expansion but there would be money to build a new football stadium for a wealthy NFL owner who could probably do it with private money. Certainly wherever such a new stadium would be built, a combination of Deal or Deal & someone he is associated with will own the land or be rewarded a contract related to a new stadium.
November 8th, 2012
5:29 pm
Deal is a good politician and is skilled at reading which way the wind blows. Right now a hard public wind is blowing against Arthur Blank's request for corporate welfare. If he were to choose to move the Falcons, which I doubt, hardly anyone would notice their absence. More likely that he would build it totally on his own either near present location or out in the suburbs because he stands to become even richer after it is built. As far as ease of access to those who can afford tickets, the northern perimeter makes the most sense.

You don't want to lose the Falcons, you already lost the thrashers. Atlanta may be a bad sports town (at the moment), but it is a sports town. Attention Georgia, do not screw Atlanta, you will become Mississippi.

Gov Deal does not believe in the feds intervening in states affairs. Better get busy building that exchange Nate.

Thrashers, Big lose!!!
November 8th, 2012
5:43 pm
There is absolutley no case to be made! There is no need for a new stadium certainly not an outdoor one used less than 20 times a year. I will personally campaign against any politician thta supports this fiasco. If Blank wants a new stadium he can pay every penny of it himself
November 8th, 2012

Thank You Vince Lombardi!!!

Are you people blind or high?? You don't care about losing the Falcons?? That statement in itself is why the "perception" of Atlanta being a bad sports town exists. Several winning seasons back to back, an undefeated season going on?? You should pack up your suitcase, leave your cubicle, and hurry home to watch Matlock reruns and leave the sports talk to real FANS!!!!
November 8th, 2012

High!, and I will help pack for Free!

gov d – why do the falcons need to make a case, can't you hear the voice of the public? they are saying NO! remember for the next election – blank only has 1 vote.
November 8th, 2012
5:53 pm
I'm a Falcons season ticket holder. I don't think they need a new stadium. When I go to the games, many of the suites they have are not being used. If they built a stadium with bigger suites, they will just be empty as well. It will be a waste of money for the State. In all likelihood they will want to charge a seat license to season ticket holders which I won't support.
November 8th, 2012
5:54 pm
@ who cares
A lot of people care. That's why we sell out every home game. Just because you can't throw a spiral doesn't mean other people aren't serious fans ok
November 8th, 2012
5:54 pm
Having lived through all the Losersville years, Atlanta is not a bad sports town now. The Braves are perenially competitive and the Falcons are too. During the Losersville days, we were thrilled when the Braves placed fifth out of six places in the NL West. Maybe they are not winning lots of championships but they are generally always in the game.
November 8th, 2012
5:58 pm
Phoneguy71, this is more a state budget issue than whether or not someone is a Falcon fan (which I am). I do not wish for them to go. But: a) the Georgia Dome is a fine place for football, I have been to games there; b) If Blank wants a new stadium, Georgia cannot and should not use public money to pay for it; and c) I am packing up my cubicle to head home now and after a workout will try to find some South Park reruns.
November 8th, 2012
6:03 pm
Wow, where to start with this column…okay, I'll start with the easiest subject…the Falcons…the Dome is terrible…depressing….nobody (and by "nobody", I mean typical families of 4, like mine) are going to pay money to see games. We did so one time and afterwards decided to watch the game on TV. This is a BIG problem for all NFL owners..people would rather sit at home. We've seen games at Gillette Stadium, Lincoln Field in Philly and the Colts stadium and they are amazing experiences. They are worth the money. The Dome is not.
November 8th, 2012
6:07 pm
Deal remember November 2014 will be here real fast….
" Deal was elected with 52.9% of the vote in 2010."…
Ga Needs Jobs (for the state outside of the perimeter) , not stadiums…
Ga Needs ETHICS reform.
Ga Needs Term Limits….
Ga. Needs health care… Affordable Health Care…We would be better off if the FEDERAL GOV"t Ran it.
Got to love this one """Deal found no fault with Mitt Romney,""" Smitty LOST ! 2014?
Agreed blank is only one vote ….my vote will cancel his..
November 8th, 2012
6:08 pm
The Governor is a master of saying nothing. Stadium: there's bunch of folks that are actually concerned about wasting public money, do a better job of snowing them, then I'll weigh in. The Presidential Game: get rid of a few more of the more vocal whackos that we harbor, they make it really hard to fool enough of the people we need to fool. Minorities attracted to the GOP? Criminal Justice reform, that's the ticket (Translation, what kind of stupid question is that? Jeez, give me a break.)
And, we will elect the man in two years.
November 8th, 2012
6:13 pm
It is NOT "just" the nutjobs at the fringes of the GOP that are a GOP problem. The fetal personhood laws and amendments pushed by the Republicans nationwide and invasive and costly requirments the GOP seek to impose on women to control their decision making with regard to personal, medical and reproductive choices clearly indicate that the TRUE view of the GOP is that women should not have individual liberty with regard to making their own decisions. THAT is a serious problem the GOP needs to address.
Just as interaction by generations of youth of different races subsequent to ending segragation have made them more reasonable, open-minded and progressive on race, so to, has and will interaction by generations of youth with the gay population diminish and, hopefully, eventuallyt, bring an end to bigotry in that regard. YOUNGER voters, hopefully, increasingly, will see freedom — individual liberty and equal right under law — as something to which each of us (not just rich old white men) are entitled —
UNLESS, of course, the zealots succeed in their efforts to put religious indoctrination back in the majority of schools.

As a handicap person, I would love to see a new stadium that is ADA compliant; however, I don't think the dome is a bad place to watch a game for an able body person. I also don't think the public should be footing the bill for a new stadium. A question for everyone, are they planning on keeping the dome around too? That would just be a waste!
November 8th, 2012
6:24 pm
I don't drink, but if you touch my football team, I'll give you an ass-kicking you'll never forget. Anyone even joking about the Falcons leaving needs to meet the firing squad at dawn.
November 8th, 2012
6:34 pm
OK, if we tear down the new billion dollar stadium in 20 years, we will be paying $50 million each year for a stadium to play about 10 home games. Doesn't make sense in any fiscal reality that I know of. Lambeau Field opened in 1957. Yes, a stadium that is over 50 years old and the Packers are one of the winningest teams in football.
The Dome helps with indoor concerts, the SEC championship no matter what the weather and overflow for the GWCC. Keep it real and support our stadium that has given us so much and has so much more to give.
November 8th, 2012
6:36 pm
Who cares
November 8th, 2012
6:46 pm
I don't understand what the problem with the Dome is. I read something about not being able to use up to date technology, but geez, we need to build a billion dollar stadium to use big screen TVs? Really? The Falcons leaving should not be an option and if Blank even threatens that to get his way it will show how much he really cares about Atlanta. My guess is Blank will get his stadium, Georgia tax payers will pony up most of the money and then we will have to hear all about how there is no money for schools, health care, etc. And I am sure at some point in the process Nathan Deal will find a way to enrich himself and a few of his friends.
November 8th, 2012

The Falcons have never dropped any hints about leaving Atlanta, or going to Los Angeles.

Really, gov Deal? You are asked how to bring minorities to the GOP and your answer is prison reform?
November 8th, 2012
7:40 pm
What's another billion dollars or two. Let's Make a Deal has already approved a billion to build HOT lanes down I-75 in Cobb that won't even pay for their own operation much less the construction costs.
November 8th, 2012
7:56 pm
Why don't we keep the ones we have, make small modifications to make parts of it ADA compliant, and spend the rest of the money on schools, roads, and other infrastructure?
November 8th, 2012
8:15 pm
"I have not taken any position on that right now."
Translation: I'm still trying to figure out if I can benefit personally from the construction of a new stadium.

Michael "Why don't we keep the ones we have, make small modifications"
I agree , """I don't know how to answer that question"""Sonny jr can ask his puppet Error Davis how to spend a few million on Technological and ADA upgrades like the Board of regents did with the states colleges..

Since this money is from the Hotel/Motel tax theoretically it should be used to promote the convention business and ancillary jobs to that industry. Building a state owned casino near the WCG would create jobs and beaucoup bucks to the state that could be utilized for education, etc. for years. This would never fly with the hypocrites though. The Falcons going to LA thing is just farting in the wind to me and I'm not even downwind.
November 8th, 2012
10:10 pm
So Governor Deal thinks there should be "more thorough vetting of candidates"? A slime ball who oozed out of Congress with minutes to spare before an ethics report condeming his misuse of office for personal enrichment should be the first guy to get the ax.
As a taxpayer, I already pay for middle school, high school and college sports, both in direct subsidy and in tax exemptions. I also pay for the NFL's tax-exempt status. Meanwhile, I believe that huge Div 1 sports, and football in particular, warp the educational purpose of all of those schools. I am in favor of getting rid of taxpayer funding for all football, at every level. The idea of a hugely rich guy who likes to project his virility through ownership of a professional football team trying to jump the priority line and siphon off public money to further enrich himself is disgusting.
I'm done with corporate welfare for sports teams. Let the college programs either behave like the rest of their universities – same payment scale as for other faculty, same admission standards, same graduation rates – or spin them off as the separate businesses they are. Let the NFL pay taxes like the Big Business that it is, and let Arthur Blank use his own money to build this unnecessary stadium. If he wants to take his ball and go to LA instead, good riddance.
November 8th, 2012
10:11 pm
When Nathan Deal gets his briefcase full of cash, then and only then will this project move forward.
November 8th, 2012
10:37 pm
B. I think that truck load of trash ops…Money just arrived.
The Hall County Commission gave final approval Thursday for a top supporter of Gov. Nathan Deal to create a landfill …
If the falcons want to move to LA they better take a DEAL with them…Delta is ready when they are…and with a DEAL no fuel tax.
November 9th, 2012

Until you move the Dome out of downtown, don't expect big revenue. Move up 400 somewhere and make it safer then maybe. Otherwise wasted money to build or rebuild.
November 9th, 2012
1:57 am
Well, I've only ever been able to afford to take my kids to see the Falcons once… maybe if they keep this dome I'll be able tickets another time. I expect that prices for tickets in a new dome will be completely out of reach. It seems like the people making these decisions have stars in their eyes – the rest of us don't have a chance at the 'gifts' of box seats and sky domes, we're having to make decisions on how to spend our money and trying to figure out how to give our kids the experience of a live football game and still pay our bills.
November 9th, 2012
3:01 am
Two years ago the State received $1 million from HHS to plan for an exchange. The State was supposed to release a feasibility study last year. Is some excuse now from the Governor for abnegating State responsibility all that we may expect?

News from the Green Streets initiative in Portland, Maine
PGS Social at MaST General Meeting – Oct. 25th
Portland Green Streets is excited for the upcoming MaST General Meeting on October 25th. Please read the below announcement from MaST. PGS is considering this our October social, so we hope to see you there!
We Need Your Help to Coordinate Transportation Advocacy in the Greater Portland Region!
· Hear from the Livable Streets Alliance (Boston area) regarding their regional transportation advocacy work and structure
Join in the October 2011 "Portland Business Commuter Challenge"!
The October 2011 "Portland Business Commuter Challenge" is a friendly, grassroots competition among businesses where everyone wins. At stake are a handful of fun incentives, a chance to use and promote more sustainable transportation choices and an opportunity to make your business greener.
To play, businesses promote the challenge and encourage their employees to try biking, walking, carpooling or taking the bus to work in October. To be able to win, the walkers, bikers and riders then log into GO MAINE and record their participation. In the first week of November we'll tally the results and name the winning commuters and businesses.
Take the challenge and see how many trips to or from work your employees can take commuting another way (bike, walk, carpool, bus). For more information visit http://gomaine.org/09/the-portland-business-commute-challenge/ or contact Erik West at firstname.lastname@example.com.
Know Your Rights – A Message from MaST
As sustainable transportation advocates, Green Streeters should know the rights and protections under federal and Maine state laws that apply to car-free transportation. The Maine Alliance for Sustainable Transportation (MaST) is working to share this information with the public. For a summary, please read MaST's statement below and visit their website for additional information.
Maine Alliance for Sustainable Transportation states: "Living car-free should not make you a second-class citizen. Accessibility rights would ensure that individuals who cannot or choose not to drive can enjoy equal access to opportunities as auto-mobile individuals. Opportunities include shopping, educational facilities, public amenities, employment, recreational areas, and all other destinations. While this concept of accessibility rights is rooted in existing legislation, there are currently no explicit legal protections or rights for car-free individuals. In most of the United States, car-free individuals experience significant barriers to opportunities, practically necessitating automobile ownership.
It is important to know your rights and protections under federal and Maine state laws. All transportation projects receiving federal funds are required to have a public participation process to ensure that the project is completed to title 6 and the National Environmental Policy Act. Individuals and organizations' participation in the transportation planning process is critical to making sure we have a sustainable transportation future.
The Maine Alliance for Sustainable Transportation works with decision makers to ensure that Mainers have access to reliable, affordable, and sustainable transportation. MaST strives to defend, expand and improve sustainable transportation options through advocacy, policy initiatives, and public outreach. To learn more, visit http://www.mainesustainabletransport.com/"
Using Green Transportation this Month?
As always, please sign in now here if you plan to use one of those alternate modes to get around this Green Streets Day – Friday, July 29th!
And don't forget to check out the Portland Green Streets Calendar for exciting upcoming transportation-related events in Greater Portland.

Pride and Prejudice (Vintage Classics)by Jane Austen
Synopses & Reviews
Publisher Comments:
"It is a truth universally acknowledged, that a single man in possession of a good fortune must be in want of a wife."
So begins Pride and Prejudice, Jane Austen's witty comedy of manners--one of the most popular novels of all time--that features splendidly civilized sparring between the proud Mr. Darcy and the prejudiced Elizabeth Bennet as they play out their spirited courtship in a series of eighteenth-century drawing-room intrigues. Renowned literary critic and historian George Saintsbury in 1894 declared it the "most perfect, the most characteristic, the most eminently quintessential of its author's works, " and Eudora Welty in the twentieth century described it as "irresistible and as nearly flawless as any fiction could be."
No novel in English has given more pleasure than Pride and Prejudice. Because it is one of the great works in our literature, critics in every generation reexamine and reinterpret it. But the rest of us simply fall in love with it—and with its wonderfully charming and intelligent heroine, Elizabeth Bennet.
We are captivated not only by the novels romantic suspense but also by the fascinations of the world we visit in its pages. The life of the English country gentry at the turn of the nineteenth century is made as real to us as our own, not only by Jane Austens wit and feeling but by her subtle observation of the way people behave in society and how we are true or treacherous to each other and ourselves.
About the Author
Though the domain of Jane Austens novels was as circumscribed as her life, her caustic wit and keen observation made her the equal of the greatest novelists in any language. Born the seventh child of the rector of Steventon, Hampshire, on December 16, 1775, she was educated mainly at home. At an early age she began writing sketches and satires of popular novels for her familys entertainment. As a clergymans daughter from a well-connected family, she had an ample opportunity to study the habits of the middle class, the gentry, and the aristocracy. At twenty-one, she began a novel called "The First Impressions" an early version of Pride and Prejudice. In 1801, on her fathers retirement, the family moved to the fashionable resort of Bath. Two years later she sold the first version of Northanger Abby to a London publisher, but the first of her novels to appear was Sense and Sensibility, published at her own expense in 1811. It was followed by Pride and Prejudice (1813), Mansfield Park (1814), and Emma (1815).
After her father died in 1805, the family first moved to Southampton then to Chawton Cottage in Hampshire. Despite this relative retirement, Jane Austen was still in touch with a wider world, mainly through her brothers; one had become a very rich country gentleman, another a London banker, and two were naval officers. Though her many novels were published anonymously, she had many early and devoted readers, among them the Prince Regent and Sir Walter Scott. In 1816, in declining health, Austen wrote Persuasion and revised Northanger Abby, Her last work, Sandition, was left unfinished at her death on July 18, 1817. She was buried in Winchester Cathedral. Austens identity as an author was announced to the world posthumously by her brother Henry, who supervised the publication of Northanger Abby and Persuasion in 1818.

The GSA, sequestration, and more
Wednesday - 9/5/2012, 6:55pm EDT
Miller discussed his exclusive report on a late night Aug. 10 confrontation between an IG agent and the top organizer of a GSA training conference.
He also talked about the IG's preliminary findings and why some GSA managers are upset with the investigator's approach.
In the second half of the show, Federal Times senior writer Steve Losey and reporter Andy Medici brought us up to speed on some GSA-like conference spending at the Department of Veterans Affairs, the 2013 on again-off-again-federal pay raise, and the latest on the impact of sequestration.

Even if a person has visited Lubbock
many times, there is always something
new to discover in this Texas
city. Although the word "unique" is
used a lot today, it seems to apply perfectly
in this case.
This bustling city with a population of
more than 200,000 is a blend of agriculture,
Texas culture and music. For that
reason, a visitor will never have any trouble
finding a different restaurant or historical
building to explore while in town.
More than 200 years ago, Lubbock was
covered with tall grasses and roaming buffalo.
Today, it is at the center of a thriving
cotton production area in the High Plains.
In 1902, the area produced four bales of
cotton. By 1932, in the middle of the
Great Depression, that figure had
increased to 100,000 bales.
Today, it is obvious that Lubbock has
come a long way since those early days.
In short, it has become a major center for
agri-business activities.
Thousands of visitors come to Lubbock
every year to experience the great music,
shopping, fine arts, performing arts, dining,
Big 12 sports and entertainment.
However, no matter how much Lubbock
grows, it still offers visitors that small-town
hospitality and West Texas charm.
For those visiting Lubbock for this
week's Texas Cotton Ginners' Association
Annual Meeting and Trade Show, there
are ample opportunities to experience the
sights and sounds of the city.
From award-winning wineries to an
archaeological preserve and the largest
cowboy symposium in the world to its
rich musical heritage, an array of unexpected
adventures await travelers.
One of the most famous Lubbock musical
heroes from the past is legendary
singer Buddy Holly. He is remembered in
numerous musical venues and programs
across the city.
Lubbock is known as the Hub City, and
there is a reason for that name. The city is
surrounded by five major Texas highways,
giving the appearance of a hub on a
wagon wheel – hence, the nickname
"Hub City."
One of the best kept secrets in Lubbock
is its growing list of wineries. Included in
this list are: Cap Rock Winery, La Diosa
Cellars, Llano Estacado Winery, McPherson
Cellars Winery and Pheasant
Ridge Winery.
Most of the grapes used in wine production
are grown in areas adjacent
to Lubbock.
The center of activity in the city is
Texas Tech University with a student
population of more than 30,000. It is one
of the larger universities in the state.
Ironically, this year's TCGA headquarters
hotel, The Overton, is located adjacent to
AT&T Jones Stadium where Texas Tech
plays its home football games.
Want some other outlets for family entertainment?
How about these choices?
• Allen Theater at Texas Tech – This theater operates year-round and offers a
charming space to present concerts, dance performances, movies and plays.
• Cactus Theater – Once a popular downtown movie theater, it now produces one-of-a-kind performances.
• Lubbock Lake Landmark – An archaeological and natural history preserve.
• Vietnam Archive – Encourages research and education regarding all aspects of the
American Vietnam experience.
• Public Art Collection Walking Tour – Designated as one of the 10 best in the
United States.
• Legacy Play Village – A unique facility where children can play while learning about the long legacy of the South Plains.
• Antique Mall of Lubbock – Offers 150 showcases and 50 booths.
• South Plains Mall – The largest mall located between Dallas/Ft. Worth and Albuquerque.
• Canyon West – Lubbock's newest, largest shopping/entertainment venue featuring premium retailers, including Target, Cost Plus World Market, Ross, PetSmart,
Kirkland's, Main Event, Cracker Barrel, Ultra and more.
• KK's Craft, Gift and Collectable Mall – Where locals come to sell their wares, and customers from near and far travel to get the best merchandise for the
fairest prices.

Chinese refined copper imports are again profitable in China after the London Metal Exchange cash price fell late last week. "Based on LME cash at $6,900.50 per tonne and a premium at $65 per tonne, the latest import cost is around 55,662 yuan ($8,138) per tonne, lower than Shanghai spot prices," said an analyst at Wanxiang Resources Co., China's top trading house. The calculations include freight and other costs of shipping material. "Now you can earn a profit of about 150 yuan ($22) per tonne" on imported copper, he added. Spot copper traded on the Shanghai Changjiang Nonferrous Metals Market was quoted at 55,700 to 55,850 yuan ($8,156 to $8,178) per tonne. The arbitrage could boost international prices as Chinese buyers purchase LME copper and sell basis Shanghai, a Chinese trader said.
Sapa Holding AB plans to upgrade equipment at its City of Industry, Calif., facility by replacing a 7-inch extrusion press with a larger, more efficient 8-inch press. The new 2,350-ton Ube press will come from the idled Watsonville, Calif., plant, which Sapa acquired in August when it completed the purchase of the assets of bankrupt aluminum extruder Indalex Holdings Finance Inc. Sapa, a subsidiary of Norway's Orkla ASA, said start-up of the newly relocated press is planned for the second quarter of 2010. The upgrade, which is expected to cost more than $1.5 million, signals Sapa's long-term commitment to ongoing capital investment, the company said.
Workers at Xstrata Copper's Altonorte operations in Chile voted to strike after rejecting the company's latest wage offer. A majority of the 274 workers from union No. 1 at the copper and molybdenum smelter rejected the company's offer to increase wages by up to 3 percent, plus bonus and benefits, union president Abdiel Sepúlveda said. "We asked 2.5 percent, 5 percent and 10 percent (depending on salary levels), plus higher bonus and benefits," he said. Xstrata will now ask government to mediate the collective contract review, a process which will last for five working days. If Altonorte fails to obtain approval for mediated talks, workers will start an indefinite strike on Sunday night or Monday morning, Sepúlveda said, adding that their collective contract expires on Friday. Xstrata Copper said in a statement that the 274 workers represent around 40 percent of Altonorte's work force, but Sepúlveda said that they represent more than 80 percent of the staff responsible for production. Altonorte produced 232,000 tonnes of copper anodes last year.

Do you have genuinely tasty (I'd like to enjoy my convalescence!) salty foods that are eaten cold (or room temp) and which you don't need to bite? If so, please post RCPs.

Is Jessica Simpson pregnant again?
Los Angeles, CA, United States (4E) – New mom Jessica Simpson is said to be having her second bun in the oven, according to the newest issue of US Weekly magazine.
Just six months after giving birth to her first child, Maxwell, and after recently losing 60 lbs. thanks to a strict Weight Watchers program, the second rumored baby comes as a surprise.
A source revealed to US Weekly, "It definitely wasn't planned. But yes, Jessica is pregnant again."
Regarding her multi-million dollar deal with Weight Watchers, public relations manager Stephanie Schulman told E! News, "Any questions related to Jessica's personal life can only be answered by her team. We do not disclose financial details about our relationships with any of our ambassadors."
The slim-again star has not commented on the issue.

I'm very impressed with the way the professors are so willing to help students. I have had several instances in classes where I have not understood the material given, and I'm pleased to say that I have felt totally comfortable in going to my professors and asking them to explain things. One professor in particular stayed after class with me for an hour and a half! They all seem to be very professional and knowledgable.

Folks in South Georgia came together to help the young Lee County teen who's scalp was torn off in a farming accident.
A co-ed softball tournament was held in Sylvester Saturday to raise money for 13 year-old Brooklyn Parrish. She was helping her grandfather drill post holes with a tractor auger in July when her ponytail was caught in the PTO shaft.
Doctors were able to re-attach her scalp and she's been recovering ever since. But family says the hospital bills are overwhelming.
"We're just thankful for the turnout, that all those that should up and participate, we appreciate their contributions and taking their time out to help us raise some money. And I just want to thank everybody that's donated items, whatever it may be and thank all those that showed up and played today and helped out," said Stacey Hannah, the tournament director.
All of the proceeds from the concession stand, team entry fees and raffle ticket sales will go to the Parrish family for medical fees.

Topic - Grade III solo
Milesy - on 27 Feb 2013
Keep flaming and trolling to a minimum please.
I can climb III and I am confident on steep grade I and II ground when consolidated, and the two grade III routes I am desperate to do are SC Gully and Good Friday Climb and I fancy soloing one of them. SC being the less serious out of them. I soloed up to the ramp on SC 2 years ago and backed off as it was dripping and stones were falling out the gully.
Now I have demonstrated to myself that I am more confident soloing easy ground with a decent sleep than I am leading it with no or little sleep and that with an easier and later walk in, I think I could try something harder, with the benefit of time saved through no rope work. If I havent had a sleep I struggle to commit to something.
Now with current conditions being nice and consolidated am I being reckless in my thinking?

This is a guest post written by LadyStrick9, from Chesapeake, VA who often refers to herself as a "vapaholic".
As I've gotten older I've become a person of habit. I like to know what the day will bring. I have several rituals. For example, first thing in the morning, I get my coffee, grab my laptop, prop up all my pillows into a fluffy pile at the head of my bed and settle in and get comfy. Then, I turn on my computer.
