Nov 14, 2011Revelations closes the Assassin's Creed journey with a familiar looking videogame, but with a new iteration so epic and amazing as you might expect. It's a worthy end for the first volume of the series.
Nov 14, 2011ACR has its shortcomings, but they're nothing compared to the pleasure this title delivers. Large, more polished and varied, quite pretty and offering an adventure and a story more enticing than ever, the solo play doesn't disappoint, even though it's still based on the same tricks and elements established a few episodes ago. It may be time to alter the formula. Ben even so, the multiplayer has been refined, all the while becoming more accessible. Overall, it's an action-adventure must-have.
Nov 14, 2011A number of new features have been attempted to make Revelations feel new and different from its predecessors. In that quest for broader variety and a unique identity from the earlier games, Revelations makes some missteps that are hard to ignore. However, the game offers more of what has been great about the franchise, and that should be enough to bring most fans to the table, even if it a poor starting point for new players.
Nov 14, 2011This is the best Assassin's Creed yet, even if that victory is claimed by an inch and not a mile. If you've been following the lives of Altair and Ezio this long, you owe it to yourself to see their last adventure.
Nov 23, 2011Assassin's Creed: Revelations might not be the apex of the Creed, but its not a forgetable one either.
Dec 1, 2011Buckles under the weight of familiarity, irrelevant additions and overlooked flaws. [Issue#212, p.76]
Jan 3, 2012In the end, Revelations mostly feels like a step backwards that was probably rushed to market just to satisfy the need for a yearly installment.

Nov 15, 2011A well deserved finale to the series protagonists, Ezio and Altair. Stands up to it's name and builds upon the already solid storyline of the game and keeps us hooked every minute. Even though some might complain it's almost the same as the previous titles. But I don't believe they need to HAVE a new gameplay mechanic in every game. When you have a story such as this, it needs to be told on an annual basis and the gameplay need not be revamped every year. Even then they did have their fair share of improvements such as the hookblades and Desmond's memories. The only thing which they went a bit far with was the Tower Defense minigame, which seemed to be a nuisance to say the least.
Other than that, visually appealing as always and well worth the money. I for one hope they don't stray far from their winning formula and don't succumb to adding new gameplay features for each iteration of their game.… Expand
Dec 17, 2011Nothing new here, but still a great game for AC fans. The new Desmond's sequences are not really interesting, tough I found the den defense mode to be fun. The story is not that great, AC1 and AC2 story was way better. The campaign is relatively. Overall this feel like a AC brotherhood DLC. The multiplayer has been quite improved.… Expand
Sep 19, 2012This game is the best assassins creed yet. It introduces a couple of really cool new ideas to the series, such as making your own bombs with materials you collect. It is awesome to mess with guards using all the different bombs you can create. Another new feature i really like that has been catching a lot of flak from other reviewers is the tower defense mini game they have put in the game. Good times. The fighting is better than ever, with many different enemy types that employ a variety of different tactics during battle. The counter kills are BRUTAL in this edition my friends. Even though there are a million more games out there with more graphic gore and blood, i feel this is some of the wildest violence i have seen in a game. Some other cool things are the missions you undertake with a friendly AI assassin, capturing templar "dens", and the altair flashback missions. I did have a few issues with the game though. I encountered several minor bugs throughout the game, nothing major but i feel i have never encountered any bugs, at least noteworthy bugs, in other AC games. Sometimes getting ezio (your character) to do what you wanted was not easy or not intuitive, and sometimes the game would take away certain abilities without reason. one example that comes to mind was a time when i couldnt use poisons. also the game is packed with content which is awesome except that some of it just felt like filler (finding hidden books, sending your assassins to other cities on missions). while sending your assassins on missions levels them up, i felt that they could have found a better way to implement that. but at least the filler content is optional. the multiplayer is not something i spent a lot of time with but it is fun and def different from what other m rated multiplayer games are offering so thats a plus. Overall great game, cant wait for ACIII… Expand
Sep 21, 2013I'm a big fan of the AC series but this one was a let down for me. It was a good ending to the story of Ezio, but the problem was that the game felt too much like Brotherhood so there wasn't really anything new to offer. Same goes with multiplayer, recycled maps from Brotherhood and no different game modes. Regardless of this, I still enjoyed the game and it's storyline, as I loved Brotherhood, but it was unfortunate that nearly no gameplay elements were changed.… Expand
Dec 27, 2011I played this game right after my second playthrough of AC II. I have to say, this game took the maturity of the Assassin's Creed franchise and transformed it into an adolescent action/adventure American piece of garbage. How come a director of Far Cry 2, which is a mediocre FPS and Tennis Masters series took the position of directing one of the biggest and best franchises in the videogame industry is still a mystery to me. Also before I finish my review, for anyone that knows mediterranean history, this game has some serious flaws in presenting what exactly the Ottomans/Turks were and most importantly, how civilized they were. I also find it funny that in Italy of Renaissance the guards didn't have any weapons but at the same time in Turkey, which was in the middle ages at that time, they had found rifles! In the end, one thing I learned from the Assassin's Creed series is:
Nothing is true. Everything is permitted.
And I use my critical thinking in everything. Thank you Ubisoft for teaching me how to do it. :P
Here's looking forward to the next series by Patrice Désilets. Hang in there brother! :D… Expand

WASHINGTON (AP) -- When police in suburban Washington raided the home of a suspected drug dealer last fall, they found the cocaine, all right, but also something unusual on the man's shelves: nearly 20 large bottles of liquid Tide laundry detergent.
Police say his customers were paying for drugs not with cash but with stolen Tide.
Tide has become a hot commodity among thieves at supermarkets and drugstores in at least some parts of the country.
For a variety of reasons, the detergent in the familiar flame-orange bottle is well-suited for resale on the black market: Everybody needs laundry detergent, and Tide is the nation's most popular brand. It's expensive, selling for up to $20 for a large bottle at stores. And it doesn't spoil.

Anne E. Collins' Sweet Blue and White Bedroom
Seeing Design
Anne E. Collins, managing editor of PointClickHome, has recently launched a new personal blog called Seeing Design, where she's going to be posting a series of room makeovers adding up to a full tour of her home. The series started off beautifully today with her bedroom, a simple, un-fussy space with lots of DIY inspiration.
Collins chose simple furnishings so as not to draw attention away from the room's lovely original architectural details. The Ferm Living wallpaper she hung, paired with a lovely ocean blue paint, is both sophisticated and calming.
The fireplace, as it turned out, was hidden behind a marble panel that had been installed to block the chimney. Collins and her husband undertook to excavate it and painted the mantel white to lighten up the room. You can read the whole fireplace saga here.
The desk and office area nestles into a corner without seeming cramped or out of place. And gauzy white curtains were just the right choice to balance the rich blue and wood accents of the rest of the room.

What a stunning bedroom. I like traditional styled bedrooms: I find them more restful.
I love the linens. Where are they from?
Gorgeous! Love the colors and the feel of this room. Can you tell me where the rug is from?
the mirror, the bed set - any knowledge on where these things came from?!?
(are those shelves meant to be crooked?)
From the exposed screws, I would bet the bed is from Ikea.
You are correct. That bed is an Ikea hack. It had this scary floral heart design so we built it inside-out. If you are curious, here's how we did it: http://seeingdesign.com/projects/ikea-hacking-our-bed
A few sources for you: The linens are from a company called Bella Lux; the mirror is from Zodax; the rug is from Ikea (they have the best deals on sisal carpets).
Thank you all for the kind words! Glad you enjoyed my bedroom design and hope you stay tuned for the rest of the room makeovers on SeeingDesign.com
Lovely bedroom. Those linen are beautiful and the wallcovering really makes the room special.
The wallpaper is great!
So pretty! Love the wallpaper, of course! Everything is so serene and calming. I'm jealous of your fireplace too :)
Mike here (the "husband / fiancé" you will occasionally see me on random posts throughout SeeingDesign.com hanging wallpaper and shelves and excavating fireplaces), nice to meet you all.
Regarding the shelves, they are perfectly level, but the issue comes in that our house has been settling for 112 years, so the desk (aka the floor) is actually what is not level.
Esmerelda, we totally want to cover those screws up, we have been debating back and forth between, white paint and white round stickers.

The 1,050 square kilometers of the Carazo Department is made up of eight cities: Jinotepe (the capitol), San Marcos, Diriamba, Dolores, El Rosario, La Paz de Carazo, Santa Teresa, and La Conquista. Carazo's economy is based on agriculture, specifically grains, coffee and fruits/vegetables. It has a population of almost 180,000.
This state is the coolest area south of Managua, and the northern tip of it has elevations of 2,000 to 2,500 feet above sea level. Highway 20, south from San Marcos straight into Jinotepe, stays green year round and is a very pleasant drive on a good road. The southern part of Carazo ends at the sea and the beaches of La Boquita, Casares and Huehuete. The roads in this part of the state are considerably worse.
Temperatures range from high 60s (Jinotepe mornings in winter) to 90 (Casares afternoon on the sand) degrees F across the state, more or less. The towns along the north/northeast enjoy good breezes pretty much year round, while the center all the way south to the shore gets brown, hot and very dry during summertime.

An injured dog is being nursed back to health after it was dropped off at an Arizona animal shelter with a chain collar deeply embedded in its neck.
The pet, a female mixed breed cattle dog, was found early Saturday morning in an outside holding pen at Pinal County Animal Care and Control in Florence.
The dog was in pain and distress, officials said. The chain was so tightly constricting the dog's neck that her skin was growing around the collar.
An emergency animal medical technician worked on the dog to remove the metal collar.
"This is really heartbreaking," said Animal Care and Control Director Kaye Dickson. "We don't know if this dog was lost and found by the person who dropped it off, or if the owner had kept the dog in this condition. Our officers are working on a few leads at this moment."
Arizona Cattle Dog Rescue picked up the dog on Monday morning so that it could be placed in a foster home for continued wound treatment. She is not available for adoption at this time.
"This case really highlights the need for owners to check the condition of the collars around their pet's neck," Dickson said. "An owner should be able to fit two or three fingers underneath the collar. This is a good way to check if a collar is too tight or too loose."
Metal collars and chains are also very hard on animals because they get hot and can burn the animal's flesh. Collars made from woven nylon, cloth or leather are better choices considering Arizona's hot sun and warm climate.
Animal Care and Control is seeking tips from anyone who might know this dog's history or who its owners are. Email them at email@example.com.

If you are looking for a Fall / Autumnal makeup look, then look no further! Here I show you how to create the perfect look for an evening out this coming season.
On my model, Francesca, I use the MAC Neutral Warm palette to create this stunning look.
If you haven't done so already, then please check out my channel and subscribe; https://www.youtube.com/user/smiles2310
I do love it when the postman brings goodies!!!
Here are my new MAC pro concealer palettes in Light & Medium. They look really Pinky in this photo, a bit deceiving as they aren't. New welcomed additions to my kit!
Here is a brief breakdown of how I created this makeup look on my client, Dilara, today;
*Cleanse skin with Bioderma 'Sensitive'.
*Apply 'Matte Veil' by Illamasqua down the centre of the face.
*Then 'Hydra Veil' by Illamasqua over the rest of the face.
*Prime eyelid using Kryolan Primer.
*Neturalise the eyelid with Sephora concealer, this will act as a base for the eyeshadow.
*First eyeshadow to apply over the mobile eyelid is 'Dark Horse' from Urban Decay Naked 1.
*Over that is 'Smog' also from the Naked 1 palette.
*Smoke outwards & upwards using a blending brush, softening through the socket.
*On the inner 1/3 of mobile lid apply 'St.Topaz' (Gold) by Coastal Scents.
*Apply 'Shroom' by MAC on the inner corner of the eyes for added highlight.
*On the outer corner of the mobile lid apply 'Black Bear' eyeshadow by Louise Young.
*Blend lightly at the edge creating more of a smokey eye.
*Through the socket of the eyes apply some matte bronzer or a warm Brown colour.
*Use Bobbi Brown 'Ink Black' gel liner on the waterline.
*Clean away fall-down (loose eyeshadow) from under the eyes.
*Highlight & contour using a foundation that's two shades lighter & two shades darker than your skin tone.
*To do this, use a beauty blender & stipple a foundation that matches your skin tone over the rest of your face as well as the highlight & contour.
*Under lower lashes apply the same eyeshadows as used on top lid.
*Smoke out using a pencil brush.
*Define brows & use a concealer to create a clean defined line under the brows.
*Line top lid using the Black gel liner from Bobbi Brown, and wing it out.
*Apply mascara & lashes - top & bottom.
*Use a Peachy coloured Blush on your cheekbones (Juicy Moods by Kryolan)
*Add some highlight by TheBalm to the highest part of your cheekbone.
*Line lips using 'StripDown' by MAC.
*Apply 'Cherish' lipstick by MAC.
*Set the foundation down the centre of the face using translucent powder.
Makeup setup for shooting! Here we have a bit of everything; MAC, Illamasqua, Bobbi Brown, Inglot, Bourjois, Snazaroo, FX Wax, Dermacolor, Victoria Secret, Louise Young, Clinique, Avon, Anastasia Beverly Hills, M&S, Dinair, and more….
I love nude eyeshadows, with a softly defined socket & a hint of shimmer on the lid. It's the best way to create fresh looking eyes without looking like you're wearing tons of eyeshadow.
I used Honey Lust mixed with All That Glitters, both by MAC, on the lid up to the socket.
And on the centre of the lid, I placed a touch of Shroom over the top of those colours, also by MAC - this makes the eye appear larger.
Using a Brown gel liner as opposed to a Black one is so much softer. Especially on a mature eyes.
To softly define the socket, I used a matte Brown eyeshadow by Louise Young.
I prefer to use a matte Brown as this sinks the socket where you place the colour, meaning you can create any eye shape you wish.
If you were to use a shimmery Brown it would reflect light, which pulls that area forward, defeating what you are trying to achieve.
Here is a behind the scenes photo of a makeup look I created on model Kate Errington!
I used a variety of vibrant eyeshadow colours from brands such as Sugar Pill, Grimas, No.7 & MAC! It was all about contrasting colours but in a complimentary way. By that I mean using colours such as Yellow against Purple. They contrast due to their colour differences, but are complimentary on the colour wheel. By using colours that are so different, you can create some real eye-catching results, and that's why I chose to use an electric Blue liquid liner across the eyelid. This liner is by No.7, I do love it but it does stain the skin, so be warned!
2nd image from yesterdays photo-shoot.
After creating a flawless base to Nicole's skin using Kryolans Micro HD Foundation palette, I then used 'Woodwinked' eyeshadow from MAC to enhance her eyes, giving an autumnal feel to the image.
*Model - Nicole Prusinski
*Photography - Martin Higgs
*Makeup - Me
All set up for todays photo-shoot! I'll be trying out my new Kryolan Micro HD Foundation palette for contouring!
My messy working area! This was before I even started the shoot.. I have no organisation when I comes to how I work. Just get on with it I say! Ha..Check out my YouTube channel for looks I create using these products: www.youtube.com/smiles2310
Another image from the 'Summer Colours' section of my shoot with Martin Higgs & Kate Errington
I adore this image, and the colours look fantastic!
I used a White pencil base underneath the eyeshadow colours so they would be true in shade. I think its a great tip for anyone using bright colours!

My boyfriend uses it when he goes out to casual events. From a gf's perspective, I like it very much because it smells like he's just come out of the shower. It is fairly strong, but not overpowering. When we were dating long distance I found it comforting to sleep in his shirts with the joop scent

Emilie de Ravin, who stars opposite Robert Pattinson in Remember Me, had flawless skin and softly sculpted shadow at the movie's premiere in New York City. "I was inspired by the soft tonal palette of Emilie's dress, hair and shoes," said Chanel makeup artist Kara Yoshimoto Bua, who created the look. She blended a mix of shimmery black and flat pewter shadows along the lids and kept the eye makeup unheavy with a simple trick: A swipe of black mascara on the top lashes and brown on the bottom. Talk about a look to remember.

SEATTLE – The rain paused long enough Monday night for the moon to come out and for Amber Spears to come out – so she could load up a moving van with items salvaged from her flooded basement.
She made a second pile for items that will need to be thrown out, including a couch and some of her favorite paintings.
The apartments Spears rents was one of a few places that was flooded at Woodlawn and 97th Ave. Monday after a nearby creek overflowed and the drains could not keep up.
Her carpet remained soaked Monday night after a few inches of water filled the basement. With more rain expected, Spears bought seven sandbags to line up against her door.
Meanwhile, in Ballard, a rather unexpected storm victim was recovering: a hen. Shannon Christiansen found the wet and injured animal in her neighbor's yard.
"Our neighbors don't have chickens and she wasn't one of our chickens, so we knew that she was lost and we figured the storm picked her up and blew her away from home," Christiansen said.
The friendly hen is now a guest in her guest room. She became quite a hit on social media Monday after they posted pictures of the hen while searching for her owner.
"Everybody's been really supportive and they're kind of rooting for Miss Purdy – that's what we've named her," Christiansen said. "It has been really cool, it's been a great response."
She hopes Miss Prudy's owner will recognize the missing hen and get in touch with her.

Think Again by Denise in Denton, TX on 12/22/2004. Trim: 2003 Isuzu Ascender S 2WD, Owned less than 1 year.
Pros: Good for short people, I can see out the front and the sides very well.
Cons: Evertime I turn around something is breaking, spends to much time in the shop, seems poorly made where more money should be spent. Like the engine and its parts. Lots of bells and whistles but the Computer has a mind of its own and does not hold programming saved. I m getting rid of mine before I send in for repairs and they say...Sorry not covered under Warranty.
Overall review: Think Again .........try Envoy ? Same exact vehicle and maker. Isuzu does not show the love when you need repairs and a car to get to work.

It's time to catch up on some of the Junkyard Mail. …
Michael Ruffin writes: Hey Bill, How do you think [Aaron] Murray's decision to stay at UGA affects the other quarterbacks on the team? I kind of figured [Hutson] Mason might be looking forward to being the starter for two years instead of one. And what about [Christian] LeMay and [Parker] Welch … and others coming in?
Murray returning was the best news Mark Richt could have gotten for the 2013 season. He's a veteran leader on an explosive, prolific offense, and I think he showed in the Capital One Bowl that he's turned the corner on stepping up in big games. Shrugging off the two early interceptions to have a record day passing was big for Murray's future. Richt summed up the situation pretty well this week: "Hutson's to the point where he certainly knows what to do. He's ready for the next step, which is playing time. What that looks like I don't know. But these other guys still have to learn and perfect and get to the point where they're ready to go. Aaron is obviously the starting quarterback. He's the guy right now; everybody knows that; there's no question about that." As for Mason, I'm sure he's personally disappointed but deep down he's got to know Murray as starter is best for the team. I expect we'll see quite a bit more of Mason than we saw of the other backup QBs this season, though Richt has declined to commit to a David Greene-D.J. Shockley sort of rotation. As for the others, well, Welch is a former walk-on who is fine in mop-up duty. LeMay still hasn't convinced me he's ever going to compete for starter at quarterback. I think ultimately he might wind up switching positions, if he stays at UGA. Faton Bauta impressed a lot of folks with his work as scout team QB this year, and I think we might see him in the "Wild Dawg" in some red-zone situations. He's another who could wind up being used in another position, possibly as a receiver. And I expect incoming freshman Brice Ramsey, who many have pegged as Georgia's quarterback of the future, to redshirt this coming season while he learns the system.
David Hammock writes: Dear Bill, Once again at the Capital One Bowl game, the Georgia Bulldogs appeared to be undisciplined and out of control with numerous and uncessary personal fouls and once again the coaching staff and especially Coach Mark Richt seem totally unconcerned nor did they respond to such unacceptable actions. Once again the coaching staff lets such actions go unpunished or at least not addressed in a timely manner in stark contrast to the reactions of the Nebraska coaching staff. When, IF EVER, is Georgia coaching staff going to get the message and properly address such unacceptable behavior?
I'll agree that Georgia's seven penalties for 76 yards in the bowl is too many, but it wasn't out of line with the way the 2012 season generally went, and at least a couple of those calls seemed bogus to me. For the season, the Dogs averaged 6.86 penalties per game, with the Ole Miss and Auburn games (in each of which they had only three) being the least-penalized and the Florida game, with a whopping 14 penalties for 132 yards, the most. In the two losses, they drew six (South Carolina) and seven (Alabama). Nationally, Georgia ranked 70th in penalties, which was better than LSU (86th) and Florida (112th), but far worse than Bama (seventh) and South Carolina (20th). Richt has acknowledged that he's torn between wanting to reduce the number of flags drawn and not wanting to stifle his team's aggressive style of play. "You don't want to have a lot of penalties that can hurt you and can cause you to have to punt and let your opponent get in field goal range and make a field goal where they maybe wouldn't have," Richt said after the game with the Gators. But, he added, "I don't want to lose intensity. You want intensity with discipline. I didn't want to slow down anybody's ability to keep their blood hot." Overall, I think Georgia does draw too many penalties, but your characterization of the team as "undisciplined" is a bit strong. And let's remember that quite a few of the flags drawn this season were false starts by a young offensive line.
Jason Rhodes writes: Hi Bill, "The sky is falling" tends to be the general take on the prospects for the Georgia D next year, but somehow I have a feeling we'll be in for a pleasant surprise. It seems that Todd Granthams's become something of a magnet for defensive talent out of high school, and I'm guessing that there will be some pretty incredible athletes on the defensive side of the ball for Georgia next year. Sure, they'll be inexperienced, but if the offense lives up to its billing and puts up somewhere around 40 points a game, that should provide something of a cushion for the learning curve. How many "this guy will probably wind up in the NFL" type athletes should we expect to see on D next season? I'm hoping/expecting that your answer will be "quite a few." Thanks for a great Blawg.
Georgia will be much more inexperienced on defense, having lost a dozen veteran players, but you're right that the offense is likely to pick up the slack. Still, as Richt noted, "We're not losing everybody. There are still some very good defensive players that will be sticking around and a lot of young ones that are waiting in the wings and have been working hard preparing for their moment." And there do indeed appear to be quite a few defensive players who have great potential, most notably linebacker Jordan Jenkins, who many expect to pick up where Jarvis Jones left off as a pass rusher. In his freshman season, Jenkins finished the season with eight tackles for loss, five sacks and 22 QB hurries. The loss of Kwame Geathers at nose guard will hurt, but there's some up and coming talent at that position, including Mike Thornton, Jonathan Taylor and Chris Mayes. Garrison Smith brings back a lot of experience at defensive end and it looks like Ray Drew is finally coming into his own at that position. Amarlo Herrera has a lot of experience at linebacker. And while the secondary will be inexperienced, with the exception of Damian Swann, Sheldon Dawson, Corey Moore and Josh Harvey-Clemons look very promising. "I think we're going to be very athletic. I think we're going to be a fast defense," Richt said. "I think we're going to have guys with the skill sets to go get it done, and then it's just going to be a matter of how quickly can they begin to play championship-style defense. That's going to be the big push."
Jim P. writes: Bill, I saw the Lizards were publicly humiliated at the Sugar Bowl for lack of interest/attendance. Reminded me of an e-mail I sent to you (that you put in your blog) before the season started, about how embarrasing it was that UF resorted to advertising at AJC online to try to fill unsold season tickets. So it doesn't surprise me their fickle fan base didn't show up for a BCS bowl this year. Also, what will the visor coach at South Carolina complain about this year, now that UGA's schedule gets incredibly tougher? And haven't checked, but did the SEC schedule cycle get a little lighter for SC this year? If so, will the visor coach complain then? Not when he's got the light schedule, and I guarantee Mark Richt won't make a public spectacle when SC has it a little easier. And speaking of schedules, have you seen the cakewalk the Bamards should have next year? What a gift for the presumed preseason #1. That would have been a nice schedule for UGA when they were the preseason #1 in 2008. But like I said schedules are cyclical.
Yeah, the scheduling cycle has definitely turned for next season, with the Gamecocks facing Arkansas and Mississippi State out of the SEC West while Georgia picks up LSU in addition to permanent rival Auburn. It will be interesting to see what Steve Spurrier has to say about that considering all the whining he did this past season.
Rick Martin writes: With the recent news about UGA making the highest profit of all SEC schools don't you think we should be getting more for our money? It would seem that with that much money that UGA should have an indoor practice field, a better basketball program, and perhaps a football national championship or two. Maybe some of that money should be spent on football analysts like Nick Saban has.
You're referring to the recent report on the most profitable football programs in 2011-12, which saw Texas on top with a profit of $77.9 million, Michigan in second place with a profit of $61.6 million and UGA third, with a profit of $52.3 million, just ahead of Florida ($51.1 million), Alabama ($45.1 million), LSU ($44.8 million), Auburn ($43.8 million), Notre Dame ($43.2 million), Arkansas ($39.9 million) and Nebraska ($36.4 million). And you raise an interesting point. Alabama, for instance, had more gross revenue than Georgia ($82 million compared with $75 million) but made less of a profit because it spent more money on its program ($36.9 million compared with UGA's $22.7 million). In fact, Alabama had the highest expenses of any program, and with another BCS trophy in Tuscaloosa it's pretty clear they've gotten their money's worth. I'm glad that UGA's athletic leaders are obviously good money managers, but a good case could be made for reinvesting some more of that profit in the program, and, as you note, Saban's use of "analysts" to supplement his NCAA-restricted coaching staff at Alabama is just one example of where some of that profit could be well spent.

Personal foul penalties should go down now that Shawn Williams is gone. But even with that said, he always provided the spark when the defense needed it. Richt never seemed to get upset over Shawn's behavior and maybe that was because it elevated the intensity of the entire team.
And I may be wrong about Shawn having alot of penalties, but he sure could trash talk and show up a receiver if he won the play.

Well I guess one could say they keep the bench warm. Murray is starting to come into his own and it only took him 4 years. He can make all the throws, to our team and the defense. Now next year he comes back and once again we are left with another top QB to step in with only one year to play and almost no game experiance. I would say one of the weakness' UGA has is management of the QBs.

I guess you can't be disiplined and be aggressive, if I understand Richt right. Didn't know BAMA wasn't aggressive on D. SInce they were penalized way fewer times. But didn't they have the best defense in the world? LOL!

One thing we NEED to do…and have needed to do many seasons before, as well…is to play up to our talent level and have the game solidly in hand by about halfway through the third quarter. It would be real good for our team if we could send our second-string QB in and let him run the offense all through the fourth quarter…without having to look over his shoulder and wonder if he's going to be taken out if he makes a mistake. We needed to do that with D.J. Shockley…but we couldn't, because we'd play DOWN to the level of our opponents and would have to play David Greene the whole game. We needed to do that with Joe Cox, but had to play Matthew Stafford all the time. And we need to let both Mason and LeMay have some serious playing time after the game is solidly in hand…but so far it looks like we continue to play down to the level of our less-talented opponents.

On The QB's
1. Murray had another so-so year, I think he finished up playing well against Vandy & so-so against Nebraska, while playing pretty poorly agianst the big 3 Alabama, South Carolina and Florida. Not sure why he's stull starting considering his lackluster performances in big games. Certainly beating a team like Nebraska that had 70 points score don them in their last game, wasn't impressive.
2. Lemay continues to look great when we see him, like at G-Day, where he outperformed Murray for the 2nd straight year. Goinng by what I've seen, Lemay is better than Murray. But I expect him to either transfer or move to another position, because Richt's convinced Lemay always beating Murray on G-Day is luck.
3. Mason is obviously better than Murray. The numbers don't lie. Mason has a better pass effcieincy every game he and Murray have gone head to head. But for some reason, Richt continues to start Murray. Mason was even the Spring practice MVP, best practice on the team in 11′, and still didn't win the starting job, so he's beating Murray in practice also.
Richt's fallen to the "QB continuity Myth", give it to the guy with the most experience. Why he went with Joe Terishinski Jr over Matthew Stafford, and Joe Cox over LSU phenom Mettenberger (see his game against Bama–man, what a QB). Mason is better, but Richt is trusting experience will pay off, and it hasn't.

You can even go back to 2010 GDay.
Mettenber went 6 for 10 for 150 yards and 2 td's.
Gray went 7 for 13 for 105 yards and 1 td
Murray went 45% for 0 td's and an interception and didn't break 100 yards.
There were signs for those who had the eyes to see.

If Tom Brady was 20 years old, a QB at UGA, and beat Murray head to head every time, Murray would start.
Why would Richt start Murray over Tom Brady?
Murray has more experience.

@ monty – Well said. CMR did a great job this year, but his attitude towards penalties is concerning. Alabama is a prime example of a team playing intense, effective football while keeping its emotions in check. Not eliminating them, but preventing them from adversely affecting play. It is not coincidence they have one of the best defenses in the country every year with the fewest amount of penalties.

Drake: Who cares about G-Day?? LeMay was outperformed and surpassed on the depth chart by Parker Welch in the little playing time he got this year. Mason is solid, but experience DOES matter. Murray has earned his starting role with his performance ON the field. He is also a proven leader of the team.
Why would you want to bench the guy that is about to shatter all the SEC passing records?
January 12th, 2013
2:02 pm
Drake. You are a lunatic! Parker Welch has attempted 8 passes in his career. Christian Lemay has attempted 2 passes in his career. Hutson Mason has attempted 47 passes in his career with a 57% completion percentage. Murray has attempted 1,131 passes and completed 696 at a 62% completion percentage. Murray will rewrite the SEC record books after next season. I'm pretty sure your post was a joke but if not, please review the above stats and tell me if you really believe what you posted.
January 12th, 2013
2:05 pm
So much for objectivity, huh Bill? Call a spade a spade. Murray hasn't shown much improvement since his first year as a starter. If you take away all of the games against sub-par competiton, his numbers are far from impressive. He sill makes far too many mistakes, particularly in pressure situations against top competition.
Calling the defense undisciplined is a fair descriptor. The talent the Dawgs started last year should have resulted in far better numbers against the run and pass, as well as in penalty yardage given up. Grantham has been the beneficiary of a soft schedule as well. Aside from the defensive performances against Florida, what has his play calling yielded against top competition to annoint him as a top-notch coordinator (ditto for Bobo)?
Let's start looking at the body of work for this coaching staff since 2005, and evaluate what they've done without creatively carving out the record against ranked opponents, embarrassing no-show performances, and choke jobs in key games and critical moments on and off the field. Then and only then will we be able to have an objective discussion about the state of the program. Until then, these articles and the majority of comments clearly have the tone of writers who are blind loyalists who ignore the facts and numbers that back those facts.
January 12th, 2013
2:07 pm
If I look on ESPN for passing statistical leaders I see Murray $2. I don't see Mettenberger listed. From what I remember he didn't when the job because he molested a young lady in a bar not because he was better.
January 12th, 2013
2:19 pm
Fleming – filter out unranked opponents and assess Murray's numbers. Next season will go a long way to shedding light on just what type of QB Murray really is, since he will finally have to play a stronger schedule. If he continues to crap the bed against ranked opponents and make bad decisions with the football, it could be a long year in Athens. I would have rather seen Murray holding a clip board and getting cut in the NFL pre-season and Mason getting a crack at the starting job for 2013.
January 12th, 2013

Murray is the best QB in the SEC East by far and only Johnny

I'm sure Mason realizes the extra year will help him on a number of levels. Another year older, bigger, stronger, but most importantly, another year for our young linemen to mature. I think we get stronger there next year and again in '14, depending on signees. A good line can make all the difference in the world. If Murray had Alabama's line for the last couple of years, he would likely have been a first rounder imo. I wouldn't give up on Lemay; he's got potential. The D will be green, but very hungry. I think they will be a lot like our O line this year–a lot of improvement as the year progresses. Let's hope they play well enough to win out in September.
January 12th, 2013
4:08 pm
Drake, I read these blogs a lot and rarely if ever post, but your QB analysis is unquestionably the worst and most nonsensical I have ever read. Please look at crdawg's post for the stats. We're you joking or something? You couldn't have been serious.
January 12th, 2013
4:28 pm
When you consider the number of Alabama's penalties compared to UGA, you must consider the built in bias for 'Bama. Just because they didn't get called, doesn't mean they didn't commit them. Look at the holding (takle to the ground) instances againt JJ in the SEC CG, and pass interferences not called. It helps when the SEC officials are based out of Birmingham!
January 12th, 2013
4:36 pm
Smoke another bowl Drake! If you are a real Dawgs fan and you know anything about football and the QB position then you are very happy to have AM as your QB for another season! HM is going to be a solid QB and his playing time that he gets in 13′ will prep him for the starting job in 14′ and trust me he knows that is the best thing for him. LeMay is a great athlete but he is struggling with grasping the play book and will either transfer or possibly move to receiver. And for the record Mettenberger can't and will never be able to hold AM's jock strap! To compare Mett to AM is a joke!!!
January 12th, 2013
4:41 pm
The posts by Drake were the most accurate I've ever read on a UGA blog, so insightful, so anayltical, he must be an ESPN statistician, or ex-head coach, just great stuff.

Going by what all Georgia fans have seen, you'd have to rank the Georgia Qb's off what we've SEEN, not heard.
By what we've SEEN, espcially the Spring games, it's clearly:
No 1 Hutson Mason
No 2 Christian Lemay
No 3 Aaron Murray/Parker Welch tied
I know all these bloggers say Hutson and the other Georgia QB don't practice well, obviously, as Drake so brilliantly pointed out, Hutson Mason winning the Most Valuable Player over Spring practices this year disproves that theory and leads all to see that it's likely true for Lemay as well.
Why does Mark Richt start Murray when Mason practices and performs better in games? That's a deep question.

Wisconsin laid a touchdown on Nebraska and scored on its' first 7 drives. It proved how terrible Nebraska's defense was to give up 70 POINTS, Unreal, yet Murray could only score 42 and the Wisconsin QB put up 70 points?
January 12th, 2013
4:53 pm
Thought Mettenberger continued to perform well when the lights were brightest against Alabama, kid put up big numbers against Bama's top defense, they couldn't defend him, completed almost every pass, LSU had the lead with a minute to go. Murray, folded when we needed him most down the stretch against Alabama, for those of ytou that have followed Murray's career, none of that really surprised you, Murray's not a good big game Qb, but boy, he plays out of this world against the teams like Florida Atlantic and New Mexico State..
January 12th, 2013

Soft schedule for the visor, and this year he goes 16-5 against the dawgs.
By the way, he has wins the last three years in a row wth a "hard" schedule,
just imagine how he'll do this year with a "soft" schedule.
January 12th, 2013
5:15 pm
The offense did well enough to win against Bama and Georgia would surely have won that one if they'd had an Erk Russell defense. The inability of the so-called great GA defense to stop or even slow down Bama's running game was the deciding factor in that game.

January 12th, 2013

I firmly believe our D will be way better than what people are expecting. We have a lot of great fast athletes that are hungry to prove they can step up to the plate! Yes we are losing some great players but how well did they play as a unit in every game? I'm not sure why but in some games they were playing at 80% at best…
We won't have that problem this year with a bunch of young hungry studs. It may take 2 to 3 games to get everybody on the same page but our O will be able to put up enough points to keep us in the game against Clemson and SC. By the time we get to LSU our D will be primed! Not even worried about our D at all, we will surprise a lot of people in 13′, believe that Dawg Nation!

You people that don't like AMurraygency make me sick. Murray will be a dominent force next year and should start the season as a top 3 hiseman contender. I hope in his hiseman acceptance speech that he tells you Murray haters and nick satan to both stick it, then spikes the trophy and walks out because it is beneath him.
January 12th, 2013

Lemay will probably transfer. He is a gifted athlete but from all indications he just isn't absorbing the playbook. Faton Bauta is a wild card. He is BIG and everyone compared him to Tebow. I just hope he can throw the ball better. I hope mason get more snaps so he can get game experience. I guess that depends on how the D gels.

Huff, that same Nebraska team beat Wisconsin earlier in the year.
January 12th, 2013
11:57 pm
The front heavy schedule and the number of suspensions in those games will determine the success or failure of the Dawgs next year. Needless suspensions during the first two to four games is the Georgia way. My concern about Richt is not that he lets his team's "blood run hot" during games, it's that he does nothing to cool them off during spring break and the summer.

It will be in the team's best interest to play Mason as much as possible to get him ready for the 2014 season. Gurley will go to the NFL as will a few others leaving Mason and crew with a tough year ahead. Playing Mason more will probably keep Murray from breaking a few anticipated records, but that's not what he's there for. He needs to do all he can to help make sure Mason's ready for the 2014 season.

Lemay should switch positions. Lemay will transfer. TYPICAL UGA fans. Watch the damn G-day game. Listen to Richt's comments. Richt was on the sideline when Lemay rifled the ball to some wideout, and Richt said you could hear it whistle. Why the hell would Lemay's brother commit to Georgia, if Lemay was going to transfer? Why would you move Chrisyian to wide out? That's the position his brother plays!! You people are certifiable. No wonder it's been 33 years! Damn.
January 13th, 2013
9:17 am
You know, come to think of it. maybe LeMay should transfer. He's damn sure not going to get a fair shake from "Country Mike" Booboo. These parents, like LeMay's father, who is a minister, need to quit falling for Richt's"Christianity Pitch", and look behind that crap and at facts, like who their kid's positon coach is going to be. In fact, the NCAA should ban Richt from using his faith as a recruiting tool. It clouds the parent's objectivity, and they end up influencing a decision based on emotion. In the end, their kid suffers. Like LeMay
January 13th, 2013
9:53 am
Le May can't handle the play book…. It's NOT a Christianaity " PITCH " for CMR… he's a good man… Le may IS a good athlete.. and should play another position…

The plans, which will shape how the city plans recreational growth over the next several decades, have been on hiatus as new City Building and Engineering Director Ken Irwin got up to speed on the six different documents, according to City Planner Joel Andrews.
The city is currently putting together master plans for how the city will develop parks, water, storm drains, public safety, wastewater treatment and transportation.
Irwin and the city staff are expected to have cost estimates on how much all of the building will cost over the next 60 years or so, according to Andrews.
The city is updating the master plans in conjunction with its revised General Plan, which the City Council approved last year. The process for transportation, storm drains and sewer collection, water and sewer treatment could cost as much as $1.1 million.
The master plans are considered the blueprints for the city, with the goals set forth by the city's 2010 General Plan.
The parks, storm drain and public safety master plans are nearly 90 percent complete, according to Andrews.
The water, sewer and wastewater treatment and transportation master plans are considered about 60 percent complete so far, he said.

A judge has denied a request by firefighters in the Poquonnock Bridge Fire District of Groton for a temporary injunction to rescind the layoffs of nine firefighters.
Judge Thomas Moukawsher, in a written ruling issued Friday, said with an interim request for relief with the State Board of Labor Relations that is likely to be heard within the next 30 to 60 days, firefighters had not proven an emergency exists to allow the court jurisdiction in the matter.
Firefighters had claimed the danger was too great to wait for a decision, but Moukawsher ruled "because it is not substantially probable that the firefighters will face irreparable harm in the next 60 days, the firefighter's request for a temporary injunction is denied."
The fire district board laid off the nine firefighters on July 29 because of a lack of money.
The Poquonnock Bridge Fire Fighters Association filed a prohibitive practices complaint with the state, asking for an interim decision that would reinstate the firefighters. A hearing date has yet to be scheduled.
Layoffs led to a reduction in manpower from five firefighters to a minimum of three firefighters on duty at any given time. Moukawsher, in his ruling, noted that the department still has four firefighters on almost every shift and if needed can maintain that level because the contract "allows the department leadership to call in additional firefighters as needed to ensure 4 men are on duty."
Moukawsher, in his ruling, also listed key points from a hearing on Wednesday that he said showed "no emergency exists." Among those points was the fact that rescues at the scene of structure fires was "the most dangerous things firefighters face."
"There have been three or four rescues at structure fires in the district within the last 28 years," he wrote. There is also the opportunity for mutual aid from neighboring departments, he said.
Moukawsher acknowledged that firefighting was risky business but took issue with statements from a Hartford deputy fire chief who "refused to acknowledge that a lower risk of fires means lower risks for firefighters."
"To him firefighters who respond to 1 major fire a year have just as much chance of being hurt as those who respond to 100 major fires a year. This is like saying a man playing Russian Roulette faces no greater risk by pulling the trigger 5 times than he does pulling it once," Moukawsher wrote.
Union attorney Eric Chester said he was displeased with the judge's decision and thought it "ironic that the court referred to Russian Roulette in the ruling because it's exactly what they're asking firefighters to do."
"They're putting these people's lives in danger," Chester said. "That's what we continue to do every day they run three firefighters. These are real people, real lives. It's not a game."
F. Jerome O'Malley, a lawyer for the fire district, said Friday he thought the court ruled correctly and that the union had not exhausted other remedies before applying for the injunction.
"We're pleased with the decision but it's fair to say everyone agrees it's not an optimal situation here," O'Malley said.
The injunction request is just one of a host of issues facing the fire district, including a budget adopted at the annual meeting that cannot support current operations of the fire department.
The fire district also awaits a judge's decision on pending litigation against the firefighters union, an attempt to negate the 10-year labor contract that current board members claim is invalid in part because there was never district approval for the funding to pay for it. The contract calls for annual wage increases of 3 percent.
"I think it would be in everyone's interest if the parties could conclude a new bargaining agreement, end litigation and get back to running a fire department," O'Malley said.

Madeline McDowell Breckinridge
Madeline McDowell Breckinridge (May 20, 1872 – November 25, 1920) was a leader of the women's suffrage movement and one of Kentucky's leading progressive reformers. She was also known as Madge Breckinridge and Mrs. Desha Breckinridge.
She was born in Woodlake, Kentucky and grew up at Ashland, The Henry Clay Estate, the farm established by her great-grandfather, nineteenth-century statesman Henry Clay. Her mother was Henry Clay, Jr.'s daughter, Anne Clay McDowell, and her father was Major Henry Clay McDowell (a namesake of Henry Clay), who served during the American Civil War on the Union side. They purchased the Ashland estate in 1882. One of her brothers was federal judge Henry C. McDowell, Jr.. Another, Thomas was a renowned Thoroughbred racehorse owner/breeder and trainer who won the 1902 Kentucky Derby.
She was educated in Lexington, Kentucky and at Miss Porter's School in Farmington, Connecticut, and at State College (now the University of Kentucky) intermittently between 1890-1894. In 1898 Madeline McDowell married Desha Breckinridge, the editor of the Lexington Herald and a brother of the pioneering social worker Sophonisba Breckinridge. The Breckinridges together used the newspaper's editorial pages to promote political and social causes of the Progressive Era, especially programs for the poor, child welfare and for women's rights.
The Nineteenth Amendment to the United States Constitution was passed shortly before she died. She was able to vote only once in her life, in the November United States presidential election, 1920, before suffering a stroke and dying on Thanksgiving Day, at the age of 48.
Key Activities and Accomplishments[edit]
- 1908-1912 she chaired the Kentucky Federation of Women's Clubs.
- Successfully lobbied for allowing women to vote in Kentucky school board elections.
- 1912-1915 and 1919-1920 she served as president of the Kentucky Equal Rights Association.
- 1912 she helped found the Kentucky Tuberculosis Commission and was the group's vice president until 1916.
- 1913-1915 she served as vice president of the National Woman Suffrage Association.
- She founded a social settlement at Proctor, Kentucky, similar to Chicago's Hull House, advocated to establish playgrounds and kindergartens, and spoke out against child labor.
- Founded the Lexington Civic League
- She was a vocal supporter of the newly formed League of Nations.
Madeline married Desha Breckinridge, who came from a notable American family. The members of the family include John C. Breckinridge and Bunny Breckinridge. Madeline was also a cousin of Dr. Ephraim McDowell and American Civil War Union General Irvin McDowell. Her cousin, Laura Clay, founded the Kentucky Equal Rights Association in 1912, of which Madeline later became president.
