CHICAGO – Bruins coach Claude Julien need only recall the imminent danger his club faced last month against Toronto. Or the apparent pit of despair in an opening round series with Montreal two years earlier. Or the do-or-die Game 7 against Tampa shortly thereafter in the East final. Or the Stanley Cup Final for that matter against Vancouver later that spring.
"I don't think much is going to rattle our team," Julien said from the team hotel on Thursday afternoon, about 14-plus hours after his Bruins dropped a marathon Game 1 in triple overtime, Andrew Shaw scoring the winner at the 112-minute mark.
"This is a game," he continued of the series opener, "that it could've gone either way. Both teams had great chances. And we could be sitting here today up 1-0 as much as we are down 1-0."
The visitors' dressing room at the United Center was certainly oozing with disappointment after the Game 1 defeat – one that saw a 3-1 third period lead dissipate – but there was hardly any semblance of panic or downright dejectedness after a game that very well could've swung their way.
While the Blackhawks began to assert control midway through regulation with their dynamic blitz of speed and skill, they still required a puck off the skate of Andrew Ference in regulation to tie the proceedings and a ricochet off the knee of Shaw in the third overtime to win it. But these "hockey breaks" as Julien termed them are unquestionably earned and as Ference noted, Corey Crawford did stop a barrage of shots – 29 in extra time – to proceed the winner.
"That's what it took to go in," said Ference of the luck factor, "but it took some great saves to keep a lot of pucks out so it's not like only luck wins hockey games. There's a lot of great defensive plays and there was a lot of great saves and so you can say 'luck', but it's not luck when you make those saves and what not."
"Obviously, you'd like to win it," he continued. "At that point of the game, you've invested a lot into it and what not, but the other team's put just as much in ... And that's where you expect experience to come in and maturity to come in and say 'It's 1-0, get on with it and turn the page'."
Carey Price would stop 65 of 66 Bruin shots in the opening round of their eventual Stanley Cup conquest in 2011. Boston would win the next three tilts before emerging with the series in the seventh and final game. Nathan Horton, who is listed as day-to-day, would score the winner that day in overtime.
There was Game 7 with the Lightning two rounds later, Horton again notching the decisive marker in a 1-0 victory at TD Garden. And then there was the Final itself, the Canucks swiping the first games in Vancouver before Boston blasted the then-Western Conference champs by a combined 12-1 margin in Games 3 and 4, eventually winning the Cup in seven games.
All of this precluded the epic comeback against the Maple Leafs in early May, the Bruins rallying from a 4-1 third period deficit in Game 7 before knocking out their opponents in the extra frame.
So when questioned on the resiliency of his club, in lieu of the heartbreak of the Game 1 defeat and the club's first series deficit of the post-season, Julien couldn't help but to look back as he looked ahead to Game 2 on Saturday evening.
"It's because we've been through a lot," he concluded. "You can chalk that down to experience of having been through a lot, the ups and downs. We don't get rattled anymore. We know what we can do."

The Treatment Process
Interventions may be necessary when a user is unprepared to take responsibility for the problems associated with their drug dependency. These can be done by a gathering of anyone they are close to or include a professional interventionist.
Detox Services in New Jersey
While not all narcotics require detoxification services, it is critical they are flushed from your body before starting rehab recovery. Detoxifying is often considered to be the hardest part of rehabilitation, because it is at this time withdrawal symptoms occur. Depending on the addiction type and its duration, they can range from mild to dangerous, so it's important to have medical staff there to help you through detox.

Up until 2005, victory in the GT and Open Classes was usually down to either Gemballa or TechArt. However, in 2005, a rain-swept Hockenheim produced a new winner, Cargraphic, whose 435-hp GT3 RSC 3.8 was better able to deploy its power than the more powerful turbocharged 911s.
Just to prove the point that the superior-handling GT3-based car is also faster in the dry, the same Cargraphic car, again piloted by Marc Basseng, won in 2006 too.
Cargraphic continued its winning streak until 2008, when their car was pipped to First place by the TechArt GT Street S. To their chagrin, history repeated itself in 2009 when the GT Street RS, again driven by Jorg Hardt, the 1999 German Formula Ford 1800 Champion, and Carrera Cup regular, won again.
Until the 2009 event, a fastest lap was the clincher for a class, or overall, win. The major change in 2009 was the averaging of five flying laps for the contestants' representative time, thus putting consistent speed ahead of one blinding lap.
Anyone who saw Hardt drive the 700-hp GT Street RS witnessed an exercise in restraint and consistency behind the wheel. He was line perfect, and smooth on throttle and steering to the point where the car looked quick but rather unspectacular. The timing clocks said otherwise, and his 1:08.037 average with a best lap of 1:07.709 in the 700-hp GT2-based Porsche on street legal rubber was simply awesome.
But in 2010, for the first time a Porsche did not win the Tuner GP. TechArt didn't enter because they had nothing new to field and felt that entering the same car again would be pointless. In their absence, Cargraphic felt they would not have a worthy opponent and so did not come either.
So victory went to the 318-hp MTM X-Bow, driven by MTM mechanic and German Seat Cupra ace Florian Gruber. Proving that light weight and an advanced chassis can beat much more powerful but heavier cars, Gruber turned in a stunning 1:07.080 average and a 1:06.705 fastest lap, making this the quickest road-legal car in the event's history.
The afternoon sees track action of a quite different kind with the Drift Challenge. Drifting is a very popular motorsport in Japan and England, and the drivers in the Drift Challenge come from all over Europe. As noted, BMWs are a favorite make for the entrants here and you'll see M3s from the original E30 to the latest E92 taking part.
Three years ago, the organizers decided to make things a bit livelier with the winners of the first round tandem drifting as a pair. This drew even bigger applause from the crowd.
One of the best drifters is Werner Gusenbauer, who actually runs the drift school at Hockenheim. Werner always drives the MKB drift car. This used to be a CL 55 AMG, but for the last two years it has been a CLK 63 AMG. Indeed, as we saw from exhibition drifts from the Geiger Corvette and Arden Jaguar XKR Cabriolet, a big, torquey V8 makes drifting so much easier!
The Sport Auto Tuner GP and Drift Challenge is a great day out for car enthusiasts, where you can see road cars driven to their limits and beyond. They can also walk the pit lane and speak to real people without the hassle you get with the officialdom at FIA races. It's a car lover's heaven.

Assessing deinstitutionalization as a social policy requires examining a system of programs rather than single, "model" services. The authors report an evaluation of 19 residential treatment programs in Hennepin County, Minnesota, that provide three different levels of care (intensive, transitional, and supportive) for mentally ill clients. Data on client characteristics program outcomes, and hospitalization costs were collected in two study periods between 1980 and 1985. The results showed that the programs served three distinct client subpopulations that differed in recidivism, vocational status, discharge setting, and costs according to the type of program. Clients in all programs made substantial gains in community integration, and as a group the programs were cost-effective.

Great SUV by An MSN Autos Consumer on 09/24/2012. Trim: 2007 Isuzu Ascender 5-Passenger S 4WD, Owned 4 years.
Pros: Excellent ride, large interrior, very dependable, great breaks, great pricing.
Cons: Gas milage is poor, no navigation system, cup holders are a pain to deal with (fwd holder is hindered by the shifter when you have the vehicle in park).
Overall review: I've owned my vehicle for a little over 4 yrs now and the only repairs I've had to do was change out passanger side window motor, and fuel tank level float, also had an issue with the TPMS. Other than those issues the car is great for me. Although it laggs in power when you get on the gas, handling/responsiveness is great. I will not be trading in my Ascender!!!!
Review ID: #564693 Is this review offensive?
"Ain't An Envoy" by Airkool on 01/02/2008. Trim: 2007 Isuzu Ascender 5-Passenger S 2WD, Owned 1 year.
Pros: Good rebates and incentives.
Cons: Rear view mirror obscurs vision, gas mileage awful, and not user friendly. You get what you pay for!
Overall review: After 100 miles I knew I hated this vehicle, and no dealer wants to trade.
Review ID: #520937 Is this review offensive?
A good SUV for the price by Pat from Alaska on 01/03/2008. Trim: 2007 Isuzu Ascender 5-Passenger S 4WD, Owned 1 year.
Pros: It looks nice, very comfortable, very spacious. The seats fold down for a big backseat. For the engine size and the size of the vehicle, the acceleration and braking is excellent. The 4-wheel drive is nice to have, especially if you live in areas with snow and ice. It also has low-range, which is excellent for off-roading.
Cons: I was a little dissapointed that the stereo doesn't have auxilary port, and the bass isn't all that great for a stock system. Also, when I went to change the oil myself, I couldn't find the oil filter.
Overall review: For the price, this seems to be an excellent vehicle. I have only had it for three months, but so far I am very pleased with it. The mileage, for an SUV, is good, and it handles excellently in all types of weather and road conditions. It drives well in deep snow, and its weight and width do a good job of keeping it from sliding and jerking in deep water or snow slush. So far I have not had any mechanical problems with it. Wind noise is a little loud, but again, for the price, I didn't expect much more. I definitely recommend it for anyone who needs an SUV, but doesn't want to pay too much.

Meet the Desert Fox in the Box: Algeria Striker Rafik DjebbourJune 07, 2010
It is 24 years since Algeria last qualified for a World Cup and now having done so at the expense of bitter rivals Egypt, the Desert Foxes face the challenge of qualifying from a tough Group C which includes England, Slovenia and the USA. To succeed they'll need the power and goals of AEK Athens striker Rafik Djebbour. Talking exclusively to PUMAFootball following a Les Fennecs training session in Germany, the French-born forward talks frankly about the team's World Cup tactics, the dark side of football and why Wayne Rooney is a typical Algerian!
The Mighty Proud Desert FoxesJune 05, 2010
The "1, 2, 3, viva l'Algerie" chant has been following PUMA Football throughout the stay in Herzoganauch with the Algerian team. The Algerian fans have come from near and far to be with their boys before they leave tomorrow for South Africa.
The Algerian Team is the Desert Foxes For a ReasonJune 03, 2010
The afternoon training yesterday was high-spirited (maybe shopping has that effect?) We noticed something quite unique about the method the Algerians have to start off to kick-start the training. They played a game in a circle where they passed the ball kicking with the foot. If the ball hits the ground, the one who let it fall gets flicked on the ear by their teammates.
Out Shopping with the Desert Foxes!June 02, 2010
When PUMA Football invited the Algerian team to visit the PUMA store in Herzogenaurach, just around the corner from where they are training in preparation for the World Cup - the players leapt at the chance.
Ghana's Rising StarJune 02, 2010
For those in the know, there's no question that Asamoah Gyan is going to be one of the big names to emerge from the World Cup in South Africa. Earlier this year, the striker fired the Black Stars to the African Cup of Nations final and now he intends to blow apart the defences of Serbia, Germany and Australia in Group E. Laid back as ever when we catch up with him at the Puma Unity Experience in Paris. Gyan talks to PUMAFootball about the great expectations of him, dreams of moving to a big club.
To The Tunes of AfricaJune 01, 2010
After the big Unity game, the concert was next on the schedule. Some of the biggest African and non-African artists, including Tiken Jah Fakoly, Amadou & Mariam, Arthur H, Les Nubians and Amizigh Kateb, were there to celebrate Africa in a free concert at La Cigale, Paris.
The Desert Foxes Play in Sunshine - and in RainJune 01, 2010
PUMA Football has finally arrived to Herzogenaurach in Germany. This is where the Desert Foxes of Algeria will train and prepare for the World Cup. Although we should be pretty accustomed to it, we're always amazed by the awesome spirit these teams show.
May 2010
Living Legends UnitedMay 29, 2010
The mood was wonderful behind the stadium, as the players from Ivory Coast, Ghana and Cameroon got together before the big Unity Game.
They might be rivals in two weeks, but none of that could be seen when they got together and goofed around like kids.
Les Elephants Wind It Up With NicknamesMay 28, 2010
We asked Gervinho why he changed his name from Gervais Yao Kouassi to 'Gervinho'?
"When you get in the football squad at ASEC Abidjan they give you a nickname," he explained. "Because we have a Brazilian coach, we're given Brazilian names. So, everyone in this current squad has a nickname: mine is Gervinho, his [pointing to his interpreting team-mate] is Kalouno. It's basically a variation of your name. My full name is Gervais Yao Kouassi, so the Gervinho comes from Gervais. For me, since then the name just stuck!"

As a former Soviet citizen and Soviet Jew, I experienced a huge
discrimination in the USSR. All Soviet citizens had passports with a record of nationality in them. Some people had Russian nationality, some Ukranian nationality, and some, like me, had a Jewish record on the first page. We needed to show a passport when applying for jobs, getting housing, or entering University. And when you had a Jewish record it was like being a registered sex offender in the US today.
Jews were pariahs in the USSR. You should not tell anybody you were a Jew. Some Russian people would beat you. Silently, the Soviet government supported this. When I was a child, some neighbors knew we were Jews, so they sent their kids to fight with me. I was beaten many times, just because of the Jewish Scarlett Letter.
I was 15 years old when somebody recognized me as a jew
when I went out of market in 1974. When I got on My bike and tried to
drove away he followed and hit me me trying to push me under moving car. I was lucky
to escape'
Exactly the same thing and the same motivation.
The Soviet Police were responsible for maintaining the passport system, and
putting the Scarlett Jewish ID there. This looks just like the situation for sex offenders in many states today. When their neighbors learn a sex offender family has moved next door, the sex offenders and their families are hassled, possibly their houses attacked, and some sex offenders have even been killed.
After graduating from high school I was going to Leningrad University. A University worker asked for my passport. He made a note about nationality, and told me there are too many
Jews here. As a result I got an F on my first test, and could not enter University. I was an A+ student in high school. When I tried to go to a technical college, they again noted my Jewish record.
As a result I got C's and B's on tests, but they allowed me in. I was
all A student in college. Jewish people were not allowed to go for PhD, so after graduation I was going to try to work in a Military Industry plant. When I came to Human Resources, the first thing they asked me was, 'Are you a Jew?' And then they did not want to give me a job, but finally had to give me the worst position. Each time I was looking for job, HR asked for a passport, and looked for the Jewish record.
This is very similar to the employment situation for sex offenders
in the USA. Human Resources will look for a sex offender record, and then you will not be hired, or you will be kicked out if you already have been hired. Last year I got a a low level job repairing some hardware. I worked just one day and then was kicked out when HR got the background investigation result.
What is the difference between my past Jewish pariah status and now my sex offender pariah status? I am unemployed for 6 years, since 2002.
In 1996 I thought I had enough in the former USSR. I had relatives in the US, and sent them an application for entering the US. The US embassy invited my family for an interview in Moscow. I explained to
them all the discrimination I had experienced. I remembered that one of the US officers interviwing me asked me if I could practice my religion. My answer was: ¨Synagogue¨ here is a very bad, illegal word, so what are you talking about?'
I got refugee status based on human rights´ violations in the former USSR. My family moved to the US. But in the US I did not escape the Scarlet Letter, I got another one! I was branded ¨sex offender.¨ There are many articles about how this happened to me. You can find all of them here
As you can see from this article, the situation for Jews in the USSR was exactly the same as the situation for sex offenders in the year 2008 in the USA!
All governments in all ages need enemies! They try to create a class of pariahs to blame for everything, and divert people attention from the real problems.

Found January 07, 2013 on Project Spurs:
PLAYERS: Tim Duncan, Monty Williams, Gregg Popovich, Eric Gordon, Anthony Davis
TEAMS: San Antonio Spurs, New Orleans Pelicans
TEAMS: San Antonio Spurs, New Orleans Pelicans
With 19 wins separating the San Antonio Spurs (27-9) and the New Orleans Hornets (8-25), it should be an easy win from a fan's standpoint. From a player's standpoint, Tim Duncan knows better and his San Antonio Spurs aren't going to think underestimate the Hornets. Their coach, Monty Williams, comes from the Spurs' organization and was influenced by Duncan's head coach Gregg Popovich. If Monty is anything close to Pop, the Spurs know that they'll have a Hornets team ready to play despite their record: "They are a very well coached and they're coached to play hard. They have some really good talent." The Hornets have been a challenge to San Antonio the last two meetings this season, both games were extremely close at the end. In game one, the Spurs squeaked by with a 99-95 win and an equally close 99-94 win in game two. The Hornets were without their star shooting guard Eric Gordon and he's slowly getting into playing shape with more minutes. It'll be a difficult task for San Antonio since they haven't played the Hornets with Gordon in their lineup and that'll change their offense and defense significantly. Their youth is what makes them dangerous on the court, which brings an energy San Antonio can't match with their veteran core. Duncan knows that they are at a disadvantage against the Hornets and they'll command respect. "We're going to respect them and go in there and hopefully play well against them." Nothing is a given in the NBA, especially for the Spurs who have had the experience of witnessing large leads and series leads disappear from them. This veteran squad and its mix of youth will play the Hornets smart and the respect factor is the key to that. Duncan and his Spurs have to use their veteran smarts against Anthony Davis and his Hornets' inexperience. The Spurs will get their open shots and they're not guaranteed to fall every night. That's happened to the Spurs plenty of time. Duncan knows when he said they "hope to play well against them," the defense will play the biggest role and that's how the Spurs will show their respect for the Hornets.

Thabang MtsweniIkwekwezi has forever preached unity, forgiveness and progressiveness among the youth and adults alike. The Ndebele language is only spoken by just over 2 million people and our language is under threat of extinction if no action is taken to develop it.
I would advice the complainant Ms Shabangu to listen to other stations especially those that promote the Afrikaans language so that she can differentiate between separatism, protectionism and are aimed to divide people and thereafter start compiling her complaints.
Ikwekwezi must ensure that we VOTE for people that will ensure that the Ndebele language, culture and heritage is protected and promoted. VIVA Imam....

Survey of Historic Sites and Buildings
The Mormon extension southward from the Salt Lake Basin and the achievements of the southwestern pioneers are exemplified in this national monument. In the 1850's the Mormons began dispersing from the basin to locations in southern Utah and northern Arizona that provided water. As centers of defense against Indian attacks and way stations for travelers, they established at strategic locations a series of forts, such as Pipe Spring in Arizona and Cove Fort and Fort Deseret in Utah. Pipe Spring National Monument contains probably the best remaining example of such a fort.
Although the Dominguez-Escalante Expedition of 1776 passed nearby, the first white men known to have visited Pipe Spring were members of the Jacob Hamblin party, who camped there in 1858. They had been sent out by Brigham Young to explore and report on the Colorado River country and to try to negotiate a treaty of peace with the Navajos living on the south side of the river. Between 1863 and 1865 Pipe Spring was the headquarters of a cattle ranch run by a Mormon, but some marauding Navajos killed the inhabitants.
In 1869 the Mormon Church acquired the property. Within a couple of years Bishop Anson P. Winsor built a fort that became known as "Winsor Castle." It consisted of two redstone buildings, two stories high, facing each other across a courtyard. Sandstone walls and heavy gates enclosed its sides. The firing platform just below the top of one wall and the associated loopholes remaining today were designed to withstand Indian attacks. A continuous flow of water was insured, for one of the buildings stood directly over a spring. Bishop Winsor left Pipe Spring about 1875. The place became important as a cattle ranch and as the starting point for cattle drives to the railroad at Lund, Utah, about 100 miles away.
Park rangers conduct tours of the fort and outbuildings. Exhibits feature pioneer tools and furnishings.

Don't have heart failure when I tell you this BUT…
I AGREE 100% with you…LOL!!!…How could the AJC (OK technically Georgia High School Football Daily) NOT list the Etowah / EAST game considering the ramifications it has for Region 5A!!!
With that said life goes back to normal as I say…
THE ETOWAH COUNTDOWN IS ON…34 hours and counting!!!

Pops – See McE and Woodstock rated. See East and Etowah fighting for third place. Who cares? Just fans of those schools and 5-AAAAA. Having said that, Etowah wants revenge, East wants a home playoff game and it should be a close competitive game.

This Lowndes fan roots for EP until they play Mike O'brien's Woodstock (sorry EP friends, but like that famous Izaih Mcdonald used to say, "THAT JUST BEES THE WAY IT IS.") EP should have no problem with Etowah.
I wish we could borrow your cannon to use at "the MAC' tomorrow night. Tifton has a cannon, Ware county has a Train Whistle. Last week some clowns on top of the Lowndes field house had a gazoo! (Yeah, I know, even the home fans had to laugh at how ridiculus it sounded.) Burke and Baldwin will also be a good game. Any of you guys up there know anything about Milton?
October 1st, 2009

Dis'ed again by AJC (aka GHSF Daily)… hard to believe they didn't list the Etowah/EP game. But if you believe their consensus rankings, then this epic battle is for technically for the #3 seed. I think we (both EP and Etowah) both believe we are still fighting for the #2 spot!
I know, I know… Etowah is fighting from the farthest down the list, but it can happen!

Good Luck to Avondale. I ripped the popularity of the Avondale vs Blessed Trinity game last week, and ended up with egg on my face. I admit when I am wrong. However, this week I think that reality will set in. Buford 35-7 is my prediction. Bufords offense has struggled this season, but that defense is still pretty stout. I am glad the region is more competitive this season.
October 1st, 2009
10:21 am
Lowndes rules! The fake streak ends. (Don't count playoff games or several losses to Warner Robins and they haven't lost a home game since 1997. In reality they last lost at home only five years ago, Oct 22 2004, which is still a pretty impressive streak.) Lowndes 35 NSWR 10
October 1st, 2009
10:31 am
5-AAAAA summary…. McE is much better than last year and could win several playoff games justifying their #6 ranking. Other than that, Woodstock is still pretty good, East is down from last year, Etowah is down even more, and Harrison is so much worse they will have a losing season. Tomorrow's game is probably for third place although an East win gives them a chance to beat Woodstock Nov 6 and wind up in 2nd place. The loser will go to Grayson in round one. So there's no disrespect for this game, it's just one of many with teams fighting for a playoff spot.

EAST played (and beat) Milton last year at Milton in a playoff game that ranks as one of the best I have ever been to. It went to triple overtime!!!
Milton has probably the BEST visitors side seating I have seen at a high school. It resembles a jr. college stadium, and they are first class all the way. It's a large school and last years team was very good, they had a running back who was big and fast (can't remember his name) but I am almost sure he was a senior last year. I don't know about how they are playing this year. If you play at Milton you will enjoy the trip.

Thanks "the cannon Rules" I've was just wondering about Milton, i see where they seem to be winning each week. I try to keep up with EP because I kinda know you guys that support'em on on the blogs, and I try to keep up with Woodstock because Mike O'brien used to coach here and was treated very badly by Valdosta. I sure wish we could borrow your cannon this week so ENR could here it go BOOM BOOM every time we score. (That's of course hoping we are ABLE to score on NSWR Friday.)
Good luck against Etowah!

I thought EP posters were all still in hiding after McEachern made quick work of yet another overhyped metro Atlanta program. Do us a favor, HeadEast, stay in the little boys room and chat mediocre metro Atlanta football. Chatter about Region 1-AAAAA football is for the big boys. EP is far from that.

Who is responsible for the scheduling at Baldwin HS in Milledgeville? Those guys were rated in the top five a few weeks ago. Now, they are facing their third top 5 team in a row. Wow! Good luck to the Braves. They will certainly be battle tested by the time the playoffs come if they can keep their head above water. Playing Peach County, Carver-Columbus, and now Burke County would be a tough challenge for any AAA team (or AAAA or AAAAA team). That is a murderer's row of stiff competition in 3 consecutive weeks.

Baldwin County will not beat Burke County this year. If they by chance pull it off, it would be a HUGE upset. Aren't they in Region 3-AAA?

As usual the Atlanta Journal-Constitution has the information incorrect. Northside was 7-0 as the home team in McConnell-Talbert Stadium in 1997. Amazing. Northside's last regular season loss to a visiting team was on September 20, 1996. Since that 1996 season, Northside has won 10 or more games in every season except one, a 9-4 season in 1997. The Eagles have played in four State championship games, won 2 State Championships, and reached the Quarterfinals or better 6 times.
Why use a play on words? Northside's last loss of any kind at McConnell-Talbert Stadium (The MAC) came on October 22, 2004 with a 10-3 loss against eventual State champion, Warner Robins. Of course, the MAC practically sits on the Warner Robins HS campus. I guess they sat on the road side of their home stadium. You call it what you want.
At the end of the day, Northside is 71-4 at the MAC since 2000, with two of those losses coming at the hands of the State Champion (Northside lost in the 2001 State Championship game to Parkview, 12-7, and lost to 2004 State Champion Warner Robins, 10-3).
Any clown who believes that any program in this nation can roll into the the MAC and "Peachtree Ridge" us is fooling themselves. In less than 30 hours, Lowndes posters, along with bandwagon Lowndes fans from Paulding County are going to see what the MAC is all about and learn that Northside-Warner Robins will not get "Peachtree Ridged" by anyone.

AJC – Nice disclaimer… and I did the know difference, but GHSF Daily does the predictions (Chip) and Polls (Todd) and the Prep Zone posts FOR the AJC. Part the "efficiency" efforts, I reckon.
But since you mentioned Carvell/AJC, he (assuming you won't disavow him) did not highlight the Etowah/EP game either in the opening comments of Week 6 Football coverage. And I know that Carvell is out this week anyway. Bottom line, I guess the "dissing" of the Etowah/EP game appears to be universal.
It's all in good fun. Just trying to prop/defend the Eagles and Region 5. There does seem to be a rather large Region 5 contingency that follows here… but I guess that doesn't warrant any "respect" points.
Todd has been quiet…

I thought that this blog was about the top ten games in the state of Georgia. With that being the understanding here, why are we blogging about bottom-feeding programs like East Paulding? I am a little confused. I thought this was about important games across the state. I continue to see blogs about East Paulding. Do they even have a AAAAA team in Hiram? I heard that there was a program somewhere in Georgia wearing silver and black, but hitting like they wear pink Under Armour. The real EP has been exposed. Yet another example of OVERHYPED metro Atlanta football.
October 1st, 2009
1:52 pm
Do yourself a favor and do a bit of "homework" before you post…
Our East Paulding Raiders ARE NOT "another overhyped metro Atlanta program" as you put it, we a located in Paulding County west of Metro Atlanta!
and you need only look to last years playoff games to see the quality of Region 5A play as our RAIDERS played Grayson in a second round playoff game AT GRAYSON that was won by Grayson 17/7…Grayson then HOSTED your much ballyhooed Lowndes Vikings/THUGS and beat them by the SAME score of 17/7!!!
The difference in the games was the EAST / Grayson match-up was a good clean game and Grayson came out on top…the EAST & Grayson players met and shook hands at the end. With the Grayson / Lowndes game (as you know) your players tried to intimidate and take cheap shots all night…finally causing a full scale brawl that the Lowndes staff didn't even try to stop…VERY CLASSY!!!

Nothing against reading about the rest of the State, but this is the AJC (ATLANTA-area). We want to read about the schools in our area. The papers in other parts of the State do not cover our schools.

The Eagles are not in the elite class Lowndes is this year. They should be very confident playing an underdog. We just don't want it to be a runaway game playing the #4 team in the nation–depending on the poll. NS will do it's best but please come to play a determined light weight.

This will be my final post about a game that is not even listed among the top games. As usual, metro Atlanta high school posters are going to force their way into the conversation. I have a suggestion for an amazing way for Region 5-AAAAA to garner some real respect. Win in the state playoffs. I am not talking about the first home game against another weak metro Atlanta program. I am talking about doing what Woodstock, the 4th seed from the region, almost did last season when they gave Camden County all that they could handle.
The other option is to schedule top flight competion annually and win annually. To Harrison's credit, they did just that. My guess is that they played Lowndes well at Harrison and then beat Lowndes at Martin Stadium. Now, the Vikings are dodging them. Nonetheless, the programs, especially the top programs should go out and play thr big name programs across the state. That will garner great respect.
I am going to pick Etowah because I believe that EP is suspect on the road. They barely beat Rome and lost to McEachern, who is clearly the class of the region. That 49-10 loss to McEachern by Etowah concerns me. I just do not understand how you get beat so badly in a high school game. 49-10? Seriously?
Etowah 24, East Paulding 20

CannonRules: You boys out in Hiram like to play the country boy card. You know full well that Paulding County is a part of the ARC. If you are denying it, I will post the website on this board. Your hometown boy, Georgia General Assembly House Speaker Glenn Richardson, is chasing every Atlanta lobby skirt and working to make Hiram a big part of the metro area.
I live in the middle of the city. You, like most people in Hiram, are selective about when you want to be a part of metro Atlanta. CannonRules, the EP-Etowah game is not listed. Deal with it. Don't blame me. Blame the AJC, which wastes most of our time every Saturday by covering the very soft silver and black. I can barely eat my Saturday morning breakfast without seeing pictures from who the silver and black lost to.
I am over it. Let's talk about the 10 biggest games this week. That means no more chatter about EP. Don't make me call the McEachern Indians into this conversation. By the way, what is the deal with HeadEast riding the Lowndes bandwagon so hard. Give me a break!
October 1st, 2009
2:07 pm
ENR – I like your Etowah pick and respect your region 5 opinion, but you have also mentioned the glimpses' that would garner the respect you speak of. Harrisson in the past, and Woodstock's deep run last year. Perhaps there is another region 5 run coming this year. McCeachern certaintly could do it.
As far as the Etowah McCeachern game. Get caught with your pants down and you will get spanked!
October 1st, 2009
2:08 pm
To SportsFan31313: Yep,the same region as Washington Co, and Thompson.
October 1st, 2009
2:22 pm
CannonRules: This is the same Paulding County that is home to Hiram, GA; Dallas, GA; and those East Paulding Raiders who McEachern kicked around? Correct? Did you really say that you are not a part of Atlanta? You do know that metro Atlanta has a second perimeter highway approved, called something like the Outer Loop or Outer Perimeter? You do know that it is going to run through Paulding County?
You are Atlanta, as this map of the ARC (Atlanta Regional Commission shows: http://www.atlantaregional.com/documents/rs_ARC_Regions_Map_11×17_032409.pdf.
Don't deny it. Your team plays like a metro Atlanta program too. We both know that if anyone on this site rolled into a Hiram or Dallas gas station, the Atlanta Journal-Constitution will be all over the place. Furthermore, half of the town would be reading through it every Saturday morning to see if there are more pictures from the Raiders game. I guarantee you the AJC has it's highest sales in Paulding County on Saturday morning, because they give the Raiders so much ink.
If you keep talking I am going to send some people from McEachern to pipe you down. Remain focused on what this board is about – the top games and matchups in Georgia this week. There must be a consolation blog about teams like EP, that are not really relevent.
October 1st, 2009
2:32 pm
Pops: There is no doubt that McEachern is right where you want to be. Ranked and respected, but just under the radar. Still, these programs are not newcomers to the seen. Some of the schools have been around for years. At some point, they have to really take a big step forward if they want the "respect" that they seek.
Gwinnett programs get ink because they perform annually. There is always someone looming from the county. It may be an underperforming Norcross program. It may be Peachtree Ridge winning a state championship out of nowhere. It may be a run from Parkview or the consistency of Brookwood. It may be Grayson beating a beast of a Lowndes team last year or North Gwinnett going out and beating top out-of-state teams.
The Cobb County schools have not done that. Even DeKalb County schools have won it all with Dunwoody or Southwest DeKalb, the program with one state titles and the talent pool to win 10 state titles. Now, Stephenson and Martin Luther King HS are rising. Region 5-AAAAA schools have to go out and make some noise. I do not believe that they do that regularly.
Woodstock had a really nice run last season, but were the last team to qualify as a 4th seed. Where was the top of the region? For all of their chest thumbing, EP has made runs and were put down so harshly, it made you wonder if they really belonged. Marist destroyed them 27-7 at the Georgia Dome in 2006. In 2007, Thomas County Central made a mockery of the Raiders with a 48-21 quarterfinal beatdown. That was AAAA football. Now, they are playing with the big boys and more losses have followed.
October 1st, 2009
2:33 pm
PurpleHurrican87: Are you telling us that Baldwin, Burke County, Peach County, Washington County, and Thomson are all in the same region? That is crazy!
October 1st, 2009
2:39 pm
ENR – All good points, By no means am I a defender of East Paulding. I also believe that Etowah's modern day era began 4 years ago with the hiring of Bill Stewart, playoffs each year.
I am just hoping for the nice win for Etowah, that we are both predicting.
October 1st, 2009
2:47 pm
PurpleHurricane 87: I see the region. If Peach County was in that region too, that would not really seem fair. Peach County just plays Baldwin as a local (Middle Georgia) game. You guys have some stiff competition. Who is going to win the Baldwin-Burke County game? I believe that SportFan31313 is calling for a Burke County win. I know that some poster from Waynesboro believe that Burke County is being underappreciated.
I have to admit, I am in the closet on being on the Braves' bandwagon because I was raised playing against Baldwin teams. Those guys use to play in our region when our region included all of the Macon and Warner Robins schools along with Baldwin and Evans & Butler from the Augusta area.
Good luck tomorrow night. Take it easy on the Middle GA kids from Baldwin and Washington County.
October 1st, 2009
2:51 pm
Pops: Where is Bill Stewart from? It looks like he and this guy named Kyle Hockman (McEachern) have turned things around in a hurry at their respective schools. Where are these guys from? Do you know?
October 1st, 2009
3:12 pm
Eagle Nation Rising: As a long-time Northside fan who has supported our team in many ways over the years, I beg you, I implore you … please shut up. You are an embarrassment to our program with your endless rantings and claims and boasts about your knowledge and even your own education. You probably don't know this, but most of us consider all of your crap to be a serious insecurity problem with yourself, and it is obviously pathological.
If you're going to post, just once, please JUST ONCE … say something nice and positive about our players who work so hard to entertain us.
And don't say another word about any streak! Last year you set us up for a big loss at Lowndes, and you're doing the same thing this year.
PLEASE … take this as a personal challenge and just resist the urge to continue with more of your crapola postings. Since you obviously are not aware of it, please be informed that your postings have become an obsessive and severe psychological disorder. You need help, sir! And of course I expect you to immediately retort with more of your crap and convoluted anti-logic.
PLEASE, on behalf of all decent and sane Northside fans … SHUT UP!
October 1st, 2009
3:12 pm
To ENR: No Peach Co is not in the same region (thank God) as Burke and Baldwin. The others in region 3-AAA are WACO, Thompson, Liberty Co, Richmond Hill, and Wast Laurens.
October 1st, 2009
3:14 pm
To ENR: You should be some kind of sports writer the stuff you know, JEZZZZZ.
October 1st, 2009
3:14 pm
ENR – Based on what I loosley know about Stewart. His roots are in Florida playing for UCF and the Orlando Predators. I believe he was defensive coordinator at Armwood(Perennial power), and then held same position at Parkview before coming over to Etowah. Most of his staff seem to have Florida roots as well.
Etowah Fans correct me if I am wrong.
October 1st, 2009
3:15 pm
The Cannon Rules, how could you possibly forget Milton's #5 Tony Williams. We only heard his name and number 9 out of every 10 plays they ran that night. I think the coaches forgot there were 10 other players on the field with him.
October 1st, 2009
3:38 pm
Proud Eagle your 3:12pm post was well written and much appreciated! I thoroughly respect NSWR, its players, coaches, tradition, and it's fans. All except for ENR. Hopefully in our game Friday, even though it will be hotly contested by players from both teams, there are no injuries to players or traffic accidents for fans going to or from the game. Also, hopefully we will have good weather and experienced referees. It really should be a great game.
October 1st, 2009
3:47 pm
ENR – For all that big BS you post you left out a few things. Any championship you ever won was against a bunch of weak sisters in little league AAAA. In real ball and recent history you have two less losses than EP, a margin that will be back to one after tomorrow night. Last year you talked all that smack about all 1-AAAAA teams in the semis and NONE OF THEM MADE IT!!!!! You went out in the 2nd round last year just like we did. One huge difference, we won our first game on the road not at home playing some weak little girls team with the infamous homeboy cheating refs of Warner Robins. Only problem with tomorrow is it should be Etowah Eaglettes vs Northside Lady Eaglettes and EP with Lowndes and we'd get two good games instead of two blowouts. Egg layin, smack talkin birds get their feathers ruffled in their own little nests tomorrow. Lowndes Rules! East Rocks!
October 1st, 2009
3:58 pm
I said that Burke County, Washington County, Baldwin County, Liberty County and Thompson. are in the same Region. This Region remind me of region 1-AAAAA.
October 1st, 2009
3:59 pm
HEY ENS, SHUT UP!!!!!!!!! I think you need to be worrying about Lowdnes more so than the EP Raiders. Seems to me that you want to take all the attention away from the thrashing you guys are about to receive from the vikings. They beat ya last year and they will do it again this year, just a little worse. When Lowndes starts playing folks other than Woodland of Henry county, and Ware county then you can start talking, until then keep your mouth shut. Don't know what problem you have with EP, but I'd like to know. As far as the Etowah/EP game Friday, it is a big game for both schools. Should be about like last year close til the end.

Say: 'Thistledown flies through the air…'
Stir the water, milk, and rose petals with the index finger of your right hand. Say:
'Silent as the mighty seas…'
Gently pour the mixture that you have created into the bath. Say:
'Peaceful here without a care.'

Such a sweet success
September 8, 2005
Falls Herald and News
Ry Kliewer is in his second year of growing an
uncommon Basin crop, sweet corn, on 4 acres along Delfatti Lane south
of Klamath Falls.
Kliewer is growing two early maturing
varieties, a 67-day yellow variety and a 72-day bi-color corn, which
he's been selling locally to Sherm's Thunderbird Market.
The second variety of corn, the sweeter-tasting bi-color, should be harvested on Friday, said Kliewer, and it too, will be sold to Sherm's.
Kliewer and his wife Laurinda grow 250 acres of mostly organic
alfalfa and grain. Growing corn is different than the other crops
Kliewer is used to raising.
"It grows here quite well," Kliewer
said. "People grow it in their gardens all the time. At this
elevation you can grow really good sweet corn," Kliewer said.
Last year Kliewer harvested only 2,000 ears,
which he sold at Ray's Food Warehouse. Frost claimed the majority of
the second variety of that crop just as the ears were ready to pick.
He estimates he would have had 10,000 ears
from what was destroyed by frost.
"We're not going to make a lot on
this," Kliewer said.

Gothic Movie Recommendations Sought
In the spring semester I am teaching a course on Gothic literature. I'd also like to show a couple movies to illustrate how the Gothic's literary aesthetic has made the transition to the big screen. I have a bunch of ideas for possible movies already (Mario Bava's Black Sunday, The Company of Wolves) but I thought I would canvas you, the goodly citizens of tumblr, for suggestions. Feel free to leave a comment!
(Also note that we're reading Dracula and Frankenstein, so showing film versions of those would be redundant.)
Friday, 3rd December
A Muppet Wicker Man
From the desk of Gregolas comes this inexplicable admixture of The Muppets and a bit of classic 70s British pagan horror.
Friday, 3rd December
I like torture. Torture is photogenic. If you make horror movies, you always have to think what's photogenic and what's not.

Charles William Eliot
Submit a new web site for review and accepted updates will be published to the site.
Britannica Web Sites
Articles from Britannica encyclopedias for elementary and high school students.
- Charles W. Eliot - Student Encyclopedia (Ages 11 and up)
(1834-1926). When Charles W. Eliot became the president of Harvard University in 1869, higher education emphasized principally mathematics and the classics. Eliot, eager to give all students the opportunity to discover their individual abilities, broke down this traditional system. He brought new subjects into the curriculum, introduced the elective system, abolished compulsory religious worship, made it possible to complete the work for a bachelor's degree in three years, and built up a first-rate graduate school. His writings, speeches, and correspondence were influential in bringing about reforms in elementary and secondary schools as well.

The FBI is warning computer users about a new scam that not only takes your money, but accuses you of visiting child pornography websites as well.
"They're getting more boisterous," said Troy Rice, an IT expert. "They're trying to really intimidate the average user."
The trouble begins when you click an unfamiliar link. Hackers download a virus to your computer, and you see a screen telling you that you're in trouble with the FBI for looking at child pornography. Then it demands you pay a $100 fine to the Department of Justice.
"And the scariest thing is it's probably not just the 100 bucks. You've now given them a credit card, and you've given them proprietary information, personal information, so once they have that it's even more detrimental," said Rice.
If your computer is compromised, try to run a virus scan. If you can't get rid of the problem, have your computer professionally cleaned.
The best way to prevent the attack is to be careful what you click on. If you're casually surfing the web, clicking from one link to another, experts say it's only a matter of time before you run into trouble.
If you're a victim of online fraud, report it to the FBI at www.IC3.gov.

Before & After: Faux Marble Countertops & Backsplash
Gorgeous Shiny Things
Danika found herself in a spot that many renters and homeowners can relate to — her countertops were dated, and a "real" renovation wasn't in the cards. Fortunately she has some impressive painting skills, and her kitchen has seen one good-looking makeover.
While in my mind "faux" can often immediately go to "tacky," these results prove that categorization to be unfair. Danika says she worked as a decorative artist for twelve years, and her handiwork here is impressively realistic. She anticipates that the finish on the countertops should hold up for about five years — just in time for a full kitchen overhaul. (She has also used the technique to turn her Ikea Docksta into something a little closer to a Saarinen table.)
Check out Danika's blog for more pictures and step-by-step directions, or watch her video tutorial for creating the effect. She might be a professional, but she swears it's easy.

That's fabulous! I love seeing frugal fixes on AT. Great job!
Seriously good painting skills. Very impressive. I don't think that's a solution I would choose, but I have to commend her on her painting.
girl got skills!!
I don't think I have the skillz for this, but it's eerie how much this kitchen looks like my mom's. She had to move back to her condo which is very very early 90s. Terry if you had chosen another solution, what would it be? Any one else with other suggestions? The cabinets are wood but ugly, and the laminate countertops are (shudder!) creamy taupe. Yuk.
That is really amazing.
I had to do a serious double-take - this is awesome! I even like the way it contrasts with the wood (veneer?) cabinets. Very nice work!
Wow! It looks great!
nice job!
home body: the "before" photo was taken at night and the "after" photo was taken in the daylight. it's amazing how natural light just makes everything look better....
Wow, I was so prepared to hate this! The words faux and marble usually make me cringe, but this actually looks FANTASTIC! Way to go Danika!
Nice work!! So much better.
Thanks everyone! And thanks Apartment Therapy, what an awesome surprise! I just wanted to let you know I updated my post with new close ups so you can get a better view. Hope it helps! I want to paint my cabinets next!
(Oh, and yes. That first picture was shot at night with lousy light.)
This looks fabulous! And where did you get that tea kettle from? Love it.
I love the cooktop.
holy CRAP thats awesome!!!!!!!!
Victoria, I got it at Homegoods. And Joe, EXACTLY! (And its long wearing lipstick;)
Reminds me of early Debbie Travis stuff.
although this looks amazing...you probably have to be very careful not messing up the surface, afterall it is paint.
Its like wearing a fake Louie or Chanel bag...looks "real" from far away, but tears apart easily.
I was also prepared to hate this, but this looks AMAZING!!! It's obvious you're an artist with tons of experience. I don't think just anyone could pull this off (I've seen some AWFUL faux marble attempts), so this is quite a treat to see these fantastic results.
@loquaciouslaura - Think of something like Deco-Poz by ecoprocote. (I'm not affiliated with them, just considering the treatment for my own laminate countertops.)
Danika, that's beautiful. Like others, I clicked through to see what a mess of attempted faux marble your countertops are now, but I LOVE it! I went into dreams of the same for mine, with white cabs to match now, etc., but have little faith in my own painting abilities.
It's amazing how this paint job makes the cabinets look surprisingly modern. WOW.
Danika, this is amazing - partly because of your artistic talent but also because you knew what the space needed. So inspiring.
@loquaciouslaura...we had our ugly and damaged laminate countertops resurfaced. I believe the product was Miracle Method (?). You can see the before and after on my blog.
She painted this. She PAINTED this. WOW!!!! I was picturing some sponging technique or something equally gross. This is AMAZING!!!!!!
Great work!!!! Off to your blog I go!!
Well... you did sponge... but not in the way I had imagined this might have been done before seeing the AFTER. LOL.

When there re no more stars
in the gazing skies,
when the moon hides
behind the balding hill,
the light in your eyes
shall find a way to my heart.
When the shadows creep in
and solitude occupies,
when the evening wind pales
beneath the mountain`s feet,
your careless whisper
shall find me in the dark and keep me from the cold
till i find strenght inside.
When there re no more candles in the hall way,
when there` re no more windows
to crawl behind ,
when there `s nothing left to do;
the memory of your kisses
shall be my fire
and the one desire,
to take me to the distant shore
where love is the power,
and night time...the hour.
