Writing With The Stars - Vote For The Best Hero And Heroine
Best Hero and Heroine
Round one of Writing With the Stars got off to a big start; we had a record number of people voting for their favorite contestant to be the next Kensington Brava author. The voting has been tallied and it¹s time to say goodbye to Mari Manning (Daddy's Girl) and KC Klein (Dark Future). Given that they beat out many other aspiring writers to make it into this competition, we know we'll hear more from them in the future! You can keep up with them at their websites: MariManning.com and KCKleinbooks.com. Now it's time for round two — the best hero and heroine summaries.
This month's guest judge is Miriam Kriss, the vice president of the Irene Goodman Literary Agency, who says, "I think that one thing you should always have in descriptions of the hero and heroine is a clear idea of what in their history will put them in conflict so that there is something fundamental that will create a natural and real conflict in the story rather than having an episodic relationship book."
Voting for round two starts on November 8 at RTBookReviews.com. As for round one, you the reader will be able to post your comments on the voting page. So get ready, get set — vote!
ROUND TWO'S JUDGE: Miriam Kriss
Kriss joined the Irene Goodman Literary Agency in 2004 and currently serves as the agency's vice president. Her focus is on commercial fiction and she represents everything from hardcover historical mysteries to all subgenres of romance, from young adult fiction to kick-ass urban fantasies, and everything in between. If it's fun to read, she probably represents it. She
doesn't look for specific stories, focusing instead on finding a voice she can fall in love with and champion. This strategy of taking on only clients she's passionate about has lead to six-figure deals for first-time authors and numerous clients' appearances on the USA Today and New York Times bestseller lists.
Eternity's Mark (Paranormal)
HEROINE: She's the last of her line, a Draecna Guardian. Sacred blood flows through Hannah MacPherson's veins; she's just too hardheaded to realize it. Widowed by the Iraq war, she's shuttered herself away on her mountain next to a miniscule town. Any man foolish enough to glance at the tiny, auburn-haired veterinarian discovers the magnitude of her wrath and the bitterness in her green-eyed gaze.
HERO: Taggart de Gaelson knows more about Hannah than she knows about herself. Wisdom and pain of over 700 years burns in the depths of his ice blue eyes. Humiliated by his betrothed, stripped of his birthright, Taggart hides his Draecna blood beneath the form of a powerful, dark-haired warrior. As her protector, Taggart's frustrated with Hannah's utter disdain for her calling. The blessed race of his beloved Draecnas depends on Hannah for survival. She's ignored her destiny as long as he's going to allow.
Mentor Rebecca Zanetti: Maeve did a fantastic job describing the inner strength and emotions in her characters. I suggested she add more outward descriptions so the reader could picture Taggart and Hannah as well as know them. The comparisons between their personalities might be reflected in their physical appearances as well. Boy, do I love how Maeve describes the hero and heroine. Just from the descriptions, I'd want to read more!
Miriam's comments: I'm afraid I'm finding it hard to understand how Hannah could not know this about herself. We need more details to understand how she's being hardheaded and what she's ignoring to get a better sense of her motivations for it and for what the underlying conflict is. Is she truly just being pigheaded? Or does she have good reasons for avoiding this truth? We also need to get a sense of what people from such different worlds are going to have in common so that we can be rooting for them to resolve the conflict.

Lisa Kessler
San Diego, CA
Moonlight (Paranormal)
HEROINE: Hi, I'm Lana. I'm 23 with dark brown eyes and hair to match. I wish I could tell you that I look like my mother, but I actually grew up in foster homes. My parents and my past are a mystery. It taught me to survive and depend on myself.
Oh, I'm also a jaguar one night a month.
HERO: Lana forgot to mention the sexy way she gnaws at her bottom lip when she gets nervous. Her dark eyes sparkle when she looks up at me, drives me crazy. By the way, I'm Adam. I train horses for a living at my ranch, Whispering Pines. I'm also a werewolf, heir to the alpha of our pack. My hair is dark brown and I've got my father's light green eyes. At six feet, I tower over Lana. Some say I'm hot-headed, but I'm just passionate about the ones I love.
Mentor Bianca D'Arc: I love that Lisa wrote these in the first person, since her book is written in alternating first person. It's good for consistency and also adds a lot of interest to these introductions. The only recommendation I made was to make it a little clearer that we were switching points of view from heroine to hero halfway through.
Miriam's comments: So that's where Lana comes from, but who is she now? What brings her to Adam? None of the characteristics you've given bring them into conflict yet and of course there needs to be conflict for there to be story. What is fundamentally going to complicate their relationship? And does that conflict have anything to do with the fact that the animals that are their other halves are so incompatible? Adding a bit more about how they are connected would make this description stronger.

Last Call (Contemporary)
HERO: Gavin McLeod has spent the past 12 years climbing the corporate ladder of Holden Enterprises, positioning himself to become the next CEO. While the climb has netted him financial wealth, allowing him to provide for the grandfather who raised him, Gavin realizes it's also left him on the brink of ethical bankruptcy. He's torn between family obligations, a boss he views as a father-figure, salvaging his self-respect and the woman who's starting to mean everything.
HEROINE: Sunny Black is a hard-working woman whose inner light and capacity to love touches everyone. She was forced to adopt a never-give-up attitude at 10 when her mother took off and Sunny took on the care-taking of her 1-year-old brother. Once again, she's forced to dig deep and find that inner strength as she fights to save her business and falls in love with a man she's not sure she can trust.
Mentor HelenKay Dimon: She worked really hard revising these descriptions to emphasize the characters' internal and external struggles and focus on who they are rather than just the plot points. She wanted them to be multifaceted and did a good job of portraying that. Fitting the important information in such few words was a challenge, but she kept editing until she got it!
Miriam's comments: These descriptions are very clear and I like the way they are put into a natural state of conflict. The only thing we could get a little bit more of is what actually attracts them to each other, but it's a minor quibble, this is a very solid description.

B.C., Canada
Tuesday's Child (Romantic Suspense)
HEROINE: Samantha Blair is a powerful psychic who wakes up to find herself inside victims as they are being murdered. When she taps into a local killer, Sam contacts a detective - a man who makes her re-evaluate her solitary existence and lack of trust. As the danger escalates, Sam is determined to make a difference for the victims and herself. Steel runs through her spine. Life may have knocked her down in the past, but not out. Never out.
HERO: Tall, rugged and with a soft spot for his matchmaking mama, Brandt Sutherland is a cop on the trail of a serial killer. With his piercing blue eyes and "take no prisoner" attitude, Brandt has spent years avoiding serious relationships while delving into the darkest of crimes. Then he meets Sam, the one woman who makes him think "unconditional surrender" - especially if it's his own.
Mentor Cynthia Eden: Dale has some very complex characters - with lots of intriguing layers. I suggested that she focus on the strongest traits of her characters and use examples of those traits in her descriptions. Dale revised and her work clearly gives me a great glimpse into the lives of her characters
Miriam's comments: While there's nothing structurally wrong with this entry, my biggest concern here is that psychics who see vicariously through eyes of a killer is something that has been done many times before and I don't see from these descriptions how you are going to make this story stand out. The most unique element you give is Brandt's mother. We need more details about what makes these characters individuals. What in Brandt makes Sam re-evaluate her policy of not trusting others? I'd also like to have a better sense of what seeing murders like that over and over is doing to Sam, because realistically it would be giving her some kind of PTSD or other disorder. The more fantastic you make the elements of your world, the more completely and believably human your characters need to be.

Diana Quincy
Ashburn, VA
Seducing Charlotte (Historical)
HERO: Cam exudes vitality. His striking form and effortless manner cloak a steely resolve as well as genuine warmth, even kindness. Tiny specks of gold glitter in his sea green eyes. They crinkle at the corners even when he isn't smiling, giving Cam the appearance of being perpetually amused. It is a deliciously dangerous combination, a flame Charlotte can't help but be drawn to, all the while anticipating the sizzle that will surely follow.
HEROINE: Almost plain at first glance, Charlotte possesses a tart intelligence and energy radiates from her lithe form. She has a way about her Cam can't quite put his finger on. Perhaps it is her eyes. They are a compelling tint of blue, like an island sky, clear and cloudless. The amazing translucent shade appears endless, making it almost startling to gaze into those plunging depths. The thought of drowning in those pools entices Cam to move closer.
Mentor Mary Wine: The way Diana wrote these descriptions has me eager to read the book now. We worked on making the descriptions more personal, to really draw the focus onto the love story these two are going to experience.
Miriam's comments: These descriptions give me a good picture of what these people look like but no sense at all of who they are. What are their motivations? What are their backgrounds? What is their conflict? The answers to these questions create a fuller picture of hero and heroine. Moreover, I would be careful to not get too flowery in your physical descriptions. Often when writers are trying to make their descriptions lusher what they end up doing is overwriting passages and obscuring their meaning. Saying things more directly is often more efficacious.

Madeline Smyth
Buffalo, NY
Aliya Arabesque (Contemporary)
HEROINE: Aliya Roberts is a woman of conflicting worlds, her hair a piece of Arabian silk in the color of western wheat, yet her eyes the green of the West set in the almond shape of Arabia. For years, she has rebuilt her life in New York and swallowed her hatred of the Middle East, the world from which her parents' murderers came. When her sister disappears, Aliya must journey across a world not only to find her sister, but her destiny.
HERO: With dark eyes, hawkish nose, and sensuous mouth, Sheikh Faruq of the al-`Aziz is a man as harshly beautiful, deeply mysterious and dangerously forbidding as his desert. During a sandstorm, he comes upon an American infidel of al-Jabir blood and carries her off to his harem, challenging his tribe. To settle an ancient grievance, he must marry his enemy, but to capture her heart, he must betray his world.
Mentor Emma Lang: Describing the hero and heroine can set the tone for the book. Madeline knew her characters well, bringing them forth through words. Readers can visualize not only Aliya and the sheikh, they are ready to embark on a journey with them, to find out what happens, to become a part of their unforgettable story.
Miriam's comments: Even in these short descriptions, the physical characteristics of your characters are very overwritten. Often in an attempt to make whriting that is lusher, writers use so many adjectives and adverbs that they actually get in the way of giving their readers a clear image of what they are describing. Moreover I would like to have a better sense of when this story is taking place and what her attitude to not only the Middle East but to a man who keeps a harem would be. If this is historical it isn't an issue, but since it's modern it is more problematic.

Wilson, NC
Indentured Hearts (Historical)
HERO: Jason Anders, a former transported convict, carries the cruel scars of his servitude on his back and in his soul. Since his release, he's amassed a fortune, and he now aspires to become a gentleman. With a body made powerful by manual labor, Jason doesn't look the part, but he hopes his new servant, Cassy, can give him the polish he needs. He soon realizes that from this compelling woman, he wants so much more.
HEROINE: Lady Cassandra Spathe, with her ready wit and golden beauty, is society's darling. Her life unravels when she stabs an unwanted suitor and impulsively flees to the Virginia Colony. Arriving as the indentured servant, Cassy Spade, she no longer has the protection of her aristocratic name. She must remake herself into a new woman with new attitudes if she's to survive in this brutal land. The last thing she expects to find here is love.
Mentor Bronwen Evans: Meredith has done a great job with both the hero and heroine; she obviously knows them well. I suggested a focus on tightening the information in order to show more of their personalities. Cassandra is obviously strong, competent, determined, as is Jason, yet two different worlds have molded them. When their worlds collide, can their love survive?
Miriam's comments: I really like this couple. They're coming from two very different places that are going to put them in direct believable conflict. The only thing I would like to see a little more of is what qualities Cassy is attracted to Jason; in other words, what is going to help her to overcome their fundamental differences? I can see clearly from this what attracts Jason to Cassy but what does she come to find in him? I'd also like a little more background on what happened with the "unwanted suitor." A word or two more would be enough but I assume he wasn't being gentlemanly when she stabbed him. "Overly aggressive" might be better than "unwanted" since it gives a stronger sense that she was acting in self-defense.

Maria Zannini
Terrell, TX
Mistress of the Stone (Historical Paranormal)
HEROINE: Raised as a pirate, Luísa Tavares minces no words and does her negotiating with the point of a cutlass. Her beloved father's been kidnapped and his captors mean to send him back in pieces if she doesn't sail into Caribbean waters before the blood moon. Proud, resourceful and fiercely loyal, she will challenge the very hounds of hell to get her father back and hunt down the man responsible for his capture.
HERO: Pirate-hunter Xander Daltry is falling in love with a woman he cannot have, not if he's to free his dead sister trapped in the mortal plane. A rogue wolf, he's defied pack law for too long, forcing the pack to side with his rival. He'll use all of his cunning and charm to convince Luísa to help him lift an undeserved curse. But to save her, Xander will do whatever is necessary - even if it means stealing her!
Mentor Terri Brisbin: I suggested that Maria add more about the characters' strengths and weaknesses so readers would learn about more than their looks. I think she's captured both characters here and gives a great "flavor" of their personalities in her descriptions and included the paranormal aspects that are critical to both.
Miriam's comments: While it is wonderful to see a woman strong enough to stand up to an alpha male, we are left with questions about how their relationship proceeds. Is Xander the one who captured her father? Also, does being trapped in the mortal plane mean his sister is a ghost? Beyond those questions, I would have thought the reason Xander can't have Luisa is she's a pirate and he's a pirate hunter, so why is saving his sister the reason? With pirates, curses and werewolves who go to sea, the world being built here seems very complex and a bit chaotic. Keep in mind that at the heart of it your characters, no matter how fantastic their powers or their world, ultimately need to be very human. This is important for your villains as well, their motives need to seem real and plausible.

despite joyous revelling in the B-movie absurdities of mad scientists, zombie ghosts, cackling witches and ticking bombs, Barker's approach is largely po-faced, enabling a balance between the pure thrills of genre and some altogether graver themes.

Nike Air Griffey Max GD II Retro – Yes or No?
June 18th, 2009 by Aaron Kr. | 29 comments
After the wild success of the Air Griffey Max 1 Retro over the last few months, we got to thinking about what other Air Griffey Retros we might want to see in the future. Ken Griffey Jr. definitely had his share of fresh signature Nike kicks over the years, and now that the line is making a comeback, a lot of people are speculating on what other Griffey models will be returning to stores. One of the front-runners has to be the Air Griffey Max GD II, a shoe that released almost 10 years ago, but still has a loyal fan base. With its sleek design and full sole Air Max unit, the shoe still holds up against the look and performance of today's models and might make for an interesting Retro release.
Check out some more pics of the original colorways after the jump and let us know if you'd like to see the Air Griffey Max GD II hit shelves again.

Baggage inspection at MGA
Arrived at MGA on Tuesday. Found that there is a new secondary inspection at a separate counter for anything deemed suspicious by the X-Ray. I had a 15 year old stereo receiver in my suitcase, so I was flagged. Long line of gringos and Nicas for secondary inspection, and they were retaining lots of stuff. I got to keep the old receiver, but they retained a small renewable energy monitor that I made the mistake of packing in the original box and not having a receipt for it. I was well within the $500 limit (as is indicated on the customs form as allowed duty-free), but without a receipt, I couldn't prove it, even if the thing was plastic and only 5 inches wide.
So, the next step is to go back to the airport and try to liberate it from customs at the airport. I prefer not to make a special trip for this, so I am planning to leave two hours early for the trip home, check in, and then go see if I can pay something to get it back. Has anyone had a recent experience with the time needed for this process at the airport?
This secondary inspection is new to me. Never had an issue before. I don't know if it was a temporary push for a limited time, or if this is the new normal, but everyone should have a receipt for anything new or valuable looking from now on I believe.
Save $30 and waste your time. Then come here to bitch/moan.
/snark on the clueless
It's Definitely Changed
supposedly 28 days ago (today is Feb 19). I was at Peñas Blancas this morning, and engaged one of the customs guys in conversation about the changes.
He said it was an anti-drug thing, young PN officers, mainly women, they are devoting resources to it, thorough check, one smiling young lady even felt under the car a bit. It's slowing things down , but not that much. Customs guys haven't changed, and collecting a few bucks in duty adds to their work load.
Before this, the customs agent would take my cookies, glance over at my car, sign off on the customs declaration, and I'd run down the PN guy with the stamp "Jefe, Jefe !" He never came anywhere near my car.
Still only one stamp, but now in the possession of a pair of young women, who are taking their work a lot more seriously, at least for now.
I keep a new FSLN flag in the back (cargo area), hoping that buys me something. Cookies probably do more, although the entire border area is festooned with new posters of the Comandante and La Chamu. Probably doesn't hurt (the flag). Everyone is friendly with me, take the time to chat and answer questions even though they keep busy there. They keep moving stuff around, and trading off jobs, and that concrete plaza entrance north of the border is almost complete. That's really going to help when it starts raining again. There is a new $5 vehicle import tax, but I probably could have avoided paying, they don't check for it yet. It's a standalone caseta in with the seguros booths . . . kind of like the " $1 to Rivas " booth.
There is no longer a PN checkpoint just north of the border, maybe that's the resource they moved to the border . . . .
Key West......."Pay Up & Look Big"
Considering all that you have done and are doing, you are living large and cheap.
Just a big variable
I have entered Nicaragua many times over the past 15 years. Some by air, some from Costa Rica and some from Honduras. About the only way I can characterize this is inconsistent. The same can be said for shipping stuff into Nicaragua.
I have also been told of many ways to get around import issues. One that I have heard multiple times but never tried is that if you make a reservation at Las Mercedes they will show up in baggage claim and bypass the inspection.
Should you get caught there is a good chance you will have to go to the customs warehouse (a few blocks from the airport) to bail out your stuff.
Note that every time I have flown into Guatemala (three times, I think) I have never had them touch a bag. No X-ray, nothing. Same thing just happened to a friend who had three bags with a laptop, lots of electronics and tools.
moral: go to Guatemala
Learn to speak Mam Mayan. All is groovie around Lago Atitlan, with or without requisite e-gear.
airport fun and games
Getting ready to leave for the good old US of A airport on my first trip to Nicaragua... I mistakenly shoveled a very very nice swiss army knife into my backpack.. Got "caught" by nice airport man ..who removed it from my pack and who then smilingly shoveled it into his pocket, as I looked on...i think it made his day.. I had bought it from the TSA auction on ebay...
Love it - circular justice
If you're down & out in the States, and need a job, and have never gotten caught with pot in one of the illegal states, think 'POLICE': TSA, Homeland Security, prison guards, local cops - that's USA's growth industry. Unless you're a billionaire financier - but then why are you on NL? Lost?
Another option is to join the Army. You may have to wait til the change of administrations for action, but we'll soon start another war, justifiably, you'll see.
Steal What They Please . . .
Why not, it starts at the top and sets the tone for the country. Part of the adventure . . . CR is very different too.
There might be some new emphasis on customs inspections . . I bought some grow house fabric in Danlí and brought it back through Las Manos with more than the usual grief . . .
Everyone was really nice, but they have added a police inspection step going out and coming in. The customs inspector who looked in my car explained that even if he let it slide, the police would stop it.
The amounts were less than $500, and I had an invoice, but they didn't have anyone who could "evaluate" the value since we had arrived to the border late. We were under what I understand to be a $500 exemption, but I could be mistaken about this. Their solution: we spend the night there, and clear customs the following morning at 8AM -not what I had in mind, as there was no hotel. Going back to El Paraiso would have involved checking out of Nicaragua, back into Honduras, and then re-entering Nicaragua the next morning.
Since I had CR plates on this vehicle, we finally came up with a solution: The customs girl re-did the car permit and described me and my goods as "tranisto " to CR through Peñas Blancas, and gave me 30 days to get to Peñas Blancas. Since I was planning a trip to Omnetepe it was no big inconvenience. She stapled the receipt into my passport, made a hand written notation in the passport, and also added the stuff to my car permit (what they usually do anyway).
Migración re-upped me for another 90 days though, might have been the cookies. I got another re-up at El Espino about three weeks back. One of the ironies, I don't need the re-ups but seem to get them routinely.
No $500 exemption
There used to be such a thing but it was eliminated a couple of years ago. The (slightly convoluted) reason was that people were using it to import things they intended to sell.
Of course, with Tico plates, you are lucky they even let you into the country. :-)
If I understand correctly, you can still get a shipment from...
…family members, but buying on line no long has the exemption. I don't think the reason was that convoluted -- all you needed was someone with a cedula for that person's six months of exemption, so everyone with cousins and uncles and aunts in the family could play. Now you need family in the US to play.
Rebecca Brown
Point of arrival
That's the first place I went when I first arrived to Nicaragua! :p No line. They let me bring in two computers and a UPS on a tourist visa at the time, without speaking any Spanish. This was in January 2012.
I don't know if there's a magic formula, or spell, or what, but the SO truly believes in the power of the handlers standing around the baggage claim area. Hire one, and your bag supposedly will not be inspected. I have only tested this theory once, when bringing dental equipment (ironically, an X-ray machine) into the country. IDK if it was the $20 I gave the handler or the magazine that was already in the X-ray operator's hands, but my bags were not selected for further inspection. There was a short line of gringos waiting to be inspected.
I wonder if the length of the secondary inspection line is correlated with the presence of the supervisor...
Meanwhile back to the question...
JMac say it was "Secondary Inspection"
No it wasn't, it was Customer Service move to have all suspicious stuff taken out of that line and over to another area, while keeping the legal folk moving!!
Imagine being behind J Mac in the X Ray line when he explains his story and multiply that by 25 or so and everybody would miss their bus, right?
Imagine the language from the gringos about how dumb the procedure is if they did that?
The $500 applies to Nicaraguan Nationals who can bring in duty free merchandise or equipment other than your luggage amounting to five hundred dollars providing the merchandise does not constitute commercial quantities.
Passengers of foreign nationality have to pay taxes on those goods.
I guess I'll have to check it out!
It sounded to me like JMac was describing the standard inspection process (read: the guys at the table who rummage through your bags when you walk up) when the X-Ray guy/gal says you have suspicious luggage.

The NHL suspended Thrashers forward Colby Armstrong for two games on Friday, one day after he delivered a hit to the head of the Capitals' Mathieu Perreault. The league ruled that Armstrong used his elbow to deliver the hit.
Armstrong will miss Saturday's game in Pittsburgh, where he spent two and a half seasons before being traded to the Thrashers, and Tuesday's game against New Jersey. The suspension comes with four games remaining in the regular season and the Thrashers two points out of the final playoff spot in the Eastern Conference.
"Obviously, I'm disappointed," Armstrong told the AJC. "I feel terrible about it. The timing of it because of our position as a team and also personally for myself. It's one thing that my dad always told me when I learned out to hit, you never reach for a guy like that. I just got caught where he was dodging out of the way and I reached for him and I made a mistake. The good thing is there was no injury on the play."
"I reached across with my right arm. I just tried to get a piece of him. It happened the way it happened. By no means did I mean to hit him high. I've always been a guy that with my hits my arms are down. I hit with my shoulder. I keep my arms in and try to hit the way I'm supposed to. This one time, I got caught in a head-to-head going at him and he gave me a couple moves and I just tried to get a piece of him and I paid the price."
With Armstrong out of the lineup, Evander Kane will take his place. Kane returns after missing 15 games with a fractured left foot. He will skate on the left wing with Rich Peverley and Bryan Little.
Early in Thursday's 2-1 Capitals win, Washington's John Erskine received a roughing penalty for a closed-fist shot to Armstrong's face.
"I think it was much the same play," Armstrong said. "It was my hand and not my forearm that hit (Perreault). I gave a little sidestep as (Erskine) came in to finish me and he caught me in the face. He got called for roughing and I got two games on more of a body check. It is what it is. I'm moving forward. I'm disappointed for a lot of different reasons."
Under the terms of the league's Collective Bargaining Agreement, Armstrong will lose $24,870.47. The money goes to the Players' Emergency Assist Fund.
A hearing was held by conference call Friday morning and Armstrong was informed of the suspension after leaving the practice ice in preparation for Saturday's game against the Penguins.
"I told them what happened and the way I felt," Armstrong said.
The Thrashers, who are carrying 15 forwards, will have to use such depth to remain in the playoff race.
"We have to come together as a team and everyone has to step up because we need these points," Peverley said.
"He's been a big part of the team. He does his job very well," Jim Slater said. "That's why we have 15 forwards on this team, and they are good forwards, to step right in. You never plan for this to happen, but that's why you have to stay ready."
In other news from Friday:
* Evgeny Artyukhin did not practice and was labeled questionable by Thrashers coach John Anderson for Saturday's game. He has an upper-body injury.
* Pavel Kubina did practice with the team but was also labeled questionable by Anderson. He missed Thursday's game against the Capitals with an upper-body injury.
* Anderson said a decision has not been made on which goaltender will start against the Penguins.
* Here are the lines the team used in practice:
Gray: Bergfors-Antropov-Afinogenov
Orange: Kane-Peverley-Little
Dark Blue: Slater-Stapleton-MacArthur
Light Blue: Boulton-Reasoner-Thorburn
Armstrong and Kozlov skated with the Dark Blue line.

We are out of it anyway. It really doesn't matter. Had we won that game last night I would be a lot more upset than I am now.. or should I say I would ACTUALLY be upset.

3:52 pm
[...] Chris Vivlamore has some comments form Colby about the hit and suspension. He also reports that Pavel Kubina is doubtful for tomorrow's game, Evgeny Artyukhin is banged up, and Evander Kane will likely play tomorrow, taking Armstrong's spot on the roster (though not necessarily the same RW spot on that line). [...]

3:52 pm
The intent was certainly there by Colby, but it ended up being a glancing blow and the guy was fine. Not even a penalty called until he got into the fracas afterwards. So what is the league to do? Police by intent or by the result? Either way, its hart to see how Colby gets the same 2 game suspension as Ovechkin did for hitting Campbell from behind 3 feet from the boards? To me, having played this game for 30 years is intent to injure. You know that player is going to fall awkwardly against the boards. The favoritism displayed here is just !#^&*$%!
April 2nd, 2010
3:54 pm
Its the NHL. What do you expect? I'm still waiting on the penalty that should have been dealt to Sydney "Yes I think I hit Puberty" Crosby for using Borris's sack as a punching bag last season. Yes, they punished Ovechkin a few weeks ago to make a point, but they refuse to penalize the "darlings" of the league, the Pittsburgh Penguins. Jeez. As long as we can play the next 4 games like last night we may be able to scrape our way in the playoffs (on a wing and a prayer) and I hope Colby gets a chance to really make those obnoxious fans in DC chant "Refs you suck".
April 2nd, 2010
3:55 pm
So Matt Cooke demolishes Mark Sevard, putting him out for the year, and gets nothing? Now Colby Armstrong gets suspended for last night's hit? The NHL is a joke! You see many far more dangerous and malicious hits in every single NHL game. Colin Campbell should be frying donuts at Tim Horton's instead of being in the position he's in. What a disgrace!
April 2nd, 2010
4:20 pm
JTK, the rule didn't exist as it does now, with the accompanying punishments that it does now, at the time of the Matt Cooke skewering of Marc Savard. But, I still totally agree with you. The NHL has always "seemingly" applied its rules "selectively." Armstrong, being a Thrasher for at least four more games, isn't aided by the fact that he's wearing a Thrashers uniform.
Correction, Armstrong is a Thrasher for at least two (2) more games. Truthfully, I wish Army well. I know he never signed to play in this market and wasn't thrilled when he got traded here. But really, he had no shot at remaining in Pittsburgh, given the cap restraints and his likelihood to supplant either Crosby or Malkin on the top lines. Armstrong had his opportunity here.
And if Colby wanted to remain in Atlanta, he could have signed a 3-year deal last offseason. Instead, he opted for a one-year deal, to complete his RFA years. In July, he'll pick his next team, as is his right. I hope it all works out for him. He seems like a good egg. I don't blame him for not wanting to stick around in Atlanta. Colby wants to win. Most players do.
If we try to go long with Zach Bogosian, on a longterm deal, to avoid the RFA offersheets down the road, I wonder if he'll even think about foregoing some of his UFA eligibility years? Kane has two years until he can become an RFA. I don't think he's plotting an "exit strategy," but if ownership continues to allow no accountability at the GM position, I won't blame young Kane for signing an RFA offersheet, if one comes his way. Kane and Bogosian have to do what's best for their careers.
Don Waddell was not re-inked to a new deal on April 1, 2010, as was my guess in the contest. So, I'm eliminated. There are still a few other guesses surviving out there, including the guess that Waddell will NOT be renewed as GM for next season. Forbes Magazine reported that Waddell's contract expires in 2010. It didn't specify if in April, May or June of 2010, but the year was 2010. Waddell received his contract extension in November of 2008, after going 11-4-1 in relief of fired Head Coach Bob Hartley.
Will the Atlanta Spirit, LLC "man up" and fire Waddell? Well, time will tell. But we know this much. When you trot out a failing GM to re-sign the star players, they all decline, except for Kozlov. And the middling players, grateful for a paycheck in this league, like Boulton, Slater, and Thorburn.
April 2nd, 2010
4:27 pm
That suspension is a bunch of BS. WHEN THE HELL IS THE GET A CLUE ABOUT SUSPENSIONS. The next suspension Colin Campbell will be for goalie interference or for shooting the puck at the goalie's head. However elbowing cry-baby Crosby in the head would be perfectly acceptable.
April 2nd, 2010

sorry for the bad grammar, I meant when is the nhl going to get a clue about suspensions

Sorry no chance AS will man up and fire the WAD of @#$. Brendan, he still has one yr of his contract, unfortunately Anderson contract is up after the season so he has a better chance of being let go. However he is not the problem, its Waddell

I never thought I'd see the day where I thought there could be worse officiating and reviews then in the SEC. Arty and Kubina possibly out? Has there ever been a team who has to work so hard to get into the playoffs? At least think of the future if we have come this far with everything this team has had to endure this year!
April 2nd, 2010
4:48 pm
Said it before and will say it again. Forget last night's loss – it would have been nice, but that one isn't what's keeping us out of the playoffs.
Going 0-3 against the Hurricanes with 3 POS efforts at HOME over the 2nd half of the season is what will do it. That was an easy 4-6 points tossed away only needing a respectable effort to accomplish.
What will really hurt is when we finish 2 points out of 8th, 4 out of 7th and 6 out of 6th place and those 3 disasters SHOULD haunt the team the entire off season (I say SHOULD, because you have to care first and they play without any heart so often, I sometimes tend to wonder)
April 2nd, 2010
5:00 pm
Army's description confirms what I saw, and described in an earlier post about the hit:
There are certainly plenty of ignorant Caps and Pens fans out there, but, if you read the message boards across the league, Caps and Pens fans certainly have no monopoly on ignorance. B.Thenet's post is exhibit A in support of that proposition. I played hockey at the collegiate level in Minnesota in the mid-60s, and have coach championship teams at the Midget AAA level. Some things have changed since I played in college, but some haven't. I was taught, and my players were taught, that sometimes you have to take a hit to make a play. That's hockey. I was also taught, and my players were taught, that, if not necessary to make a play, attempt to avoid taking bad hits when possible, particularly when you feel yourself in a vulnerable position. That's hockey. But, when a guy starts to avoid a hit, and you realize that the only way to hit him is with a forearm/elbow, that's not hockey, it's a penalty.
Good on Army for being honest. As to the suspension, I have no idea how Campbell decides this stuff. The league wants to have absolute discretion in these kinds of matters, and simply won't be tied down by having to explain the thought process. It is what it is, and they don't care what we think.
And, as to the obnoxious Caps fans, they've had 50+ consecutive sellouts, and they got that "Refs you suck" right last night, at least on the non-call. Last time I was at Phillips, you could've fired a pretty big artillery piece and not hit anyone.

He should have gotten a 5 minute elbowing penalty, too.

So can we bring up Cormier? At least he plays clean…
April 2nd, 2010
5:23 pm
If they played all year long like they played last night we'd be talking about our seeding in the playoffs, not whether we can get in. That was a GREAT team game they played last night. Best defensive effort of the year…Old School style, not the trap…play your position and cover your man. That was the best team in the league this year that they virtually shut them down for the majority of the game. I was proud of their effort. Two plays cost them the game and they were both great plays by the Caps. Colby F'd up and he admitted it. Stand up guy who has the character this team needs. They screw up those calls all the time but it is the right call in this case. Loved hearing Engblom eat his words last night. He (me too) thought the Caps would come out flying last night and pound our boys. But we took it away with a great effort. Nice to finally hear the TV and XM guys start to talk about our Thrash with a more positive slant. I see all these teams around the league with great young goalies, then see Pavelec play like he has and think maybe we finally got one. He has bounced back very well from his slump which says a lot about his mental strength. Cary Price was curled up in the corner of his locker room sobbing like a girl when he hit a tough patch. Hope he recognizes the value of training and nutrition that Kari whatshisname seemed to ignore. He's still not 23. Hope he works hard this summer and comes in to camp and takes control. that would go a long way with this team. Would probably be the difference in making and not making the playoffs this year. If they play a few more like last night I'll be impressed. I love Chelios and he impresses the heck out of me even making it to the NHL this year at his age, but he reminds me of Willie Mays at the end of his career. You can see the body just can't do what the brain says. Love to see Toby move the puck like last night. Great outside in move that tied the Washington D-man in a pretzel. If he scores on that it's the NHL play of the night. So frustrating to see them play this well against a great team but too often played like dog doo against teams they should have crushed.

I think Kane's return will be the difference the Thrash need to make the playoffs. The guy plays with a ton of energy and always seemed to disrupt and annoy the other teams. Can anyone tell me how the Thrash have faired since he's been out?
April 2nd, 2010

Kane comes back into the lineup for Army…..Hmmm….I'll take that deal!! Kane moves around fast and actually tries to get the puck near the net. Army just scopes out a new sucker to take down every game. Too bad he doesn't seem as interested in scoring as in knocking someone's block off. We really need Kubes and Big Arty in the lineup. But I have to admit I REALLY like this lineup:
Gray: Bergfors-Antropov-Afinogenov
Orange: Kane-Peverley-Little
Dark Blue: Slater-Stapleton-MacArthur
Light Blue: Boulton-Reasoner-Thorburn
There's a real potential for some balanced scoring there. Some guys who skate well and know what to do with the puck. A couple of wins and a couple of OT losses and we could seriously be in #8. If not, it saves me a few Franklins from the "pre-sale" tix I bought yesterday.
The Philly & Habs game should be pretty FUGLY. Someone has to win, right? Right?

Rockem Sockem:
In the 7 games between the Kovy trade & Kane's injury against TB on 3/6 (from 2/5 thru 3/4) the Thrash were 4-1-2. Kane left in the 2nd against TB and they lost the game, which started that dreadful 0-5-1 run where they couldn't buy a W. Then they got the mojo back and beat BUF, OTT and won the 2 Philly home at home games for a 4-game win streak. The most recent 6 games have been 2-3-1. So if you include the TB game, they've been 6-8-2 in the 16 games he's missed.
He's obviously been missed and I'm glad he's back!!

What a joke! The caps are cheap shot artists and one of our guys gets suspended. If the NHL wants to fix the playoffs why not announce who is in the playoffs before the season kicks off.

B.Thenet…I may not have learned wit, but I did learn hockey, which you apparently haven't…look at what Army said, and look at what I said before his comments were posted. Pretty much dead on, eh?
As to the attendance, you're right, Iceman…Caps had very good attendance from the mid-80s until they tanked after the '98 Cup finals…only since they drafted Ovi and the team started to get better have they had good attendance.

The folks in charge of this team – the folks above Don Waddell – have to be honest with themselves when they decide what to do this summer. If they think there really is enough talent on the Thrashers that the team should not be in the predicament it is right now, then John Anderson has got to go. It is the coach's job to get his team to perform as well as it can.
However, if the powers that be do not think the Thrashers have the personnel to be a legitimate playoff contender, then Don Waddell has got to go. He has had plenty of time to put together a good team, and – if he has not done so – he should be done.
If the Thrashers do miss the playoffs – or even if they squeak in and get pasted in the first round – I would strongly suggest dismissing both Waddell and Anderson, and starting all over again with somebody willing and able (at least temporarily) to be coach and GM. The players need to know that the guy giving the orders really is the boss.

Seriously guys??? Can we not play disciplined hockey for 2:00 minutes? Jim Slater doesn't take that dumb penalty we skate away tied for 8th. This is why we will never be great, no consistency, and it starts at the top. Undisciplined play is a direct result of bad coaching. We lack heart for 60 minutes and it shows!!

Wow… What a weak goal… Moose will be having nightmares about that all summer…

Just finished watching the Nashville Predators let the Red Wings get a "pity" point with 35 seconds left in regulation. Shaking my head. And yes, folks, the Predators are a playoff team.
Why mention it??? Well, quite frankly because I wanted to, plus we've been talking, lately, about the possibility of Nashville vs. Phoenix as the #4 vs. #5 seed out West. That pity point may have just pushed the Red Wings into 5th spot, considering that Detroit plays Columbus twice more, and Philly. Shaking my head. It's going to be very, very difficult for Nashville to retain that 5th seed. Oh, not that they can't beat the Vancouver Canucks, as a #6 vs. #3, it's just that there's so much more intrigue into a Coyotes-Predators series. Plus, ya know, it infuriates the Canadian purists out there to think that teams from Arizona and Tennessee might be playing each other in the playoffs.
Okayyyyy, so … we're all mad?? Disappointed??? In "See, I told you!" mode??? Well, I'm none of those things. Yet. I saw the Washington Capitals as the best team in the NHL. We lost by one goal. I see the Pittsburgh Penguins as easily a Top 5 NHL team, where … again … we were very competitive. I'd even say, without hyperbole, that we dominated Pittsburgh. But ….
How many times have you heard me say, "Moose is one of my all-time favorite Thrashers?" The answer is 17 times. How many times have you heard me say, "Renting a 37-year old goaltender at the trade deadline is misreading the situation in net." About 22 times now. Now, Moose certainly has been adequate. I don't have the "since the trade deadline stats" handy. But my best guess is that Hedberg is around a 2.85 GAA. That might be wrong. I don't want to split hairs. The bottom line is … we needed to move Hedberg at the deadline and acquire a goalie, if we weren't going to try, try again with Lehtonen. Obviously, Lehtonen was traded without playing a minute in net as a Thrasher this season.
Gonchar's goal, late in the third period, was a great shot. Was it a stoppable shot? Yes. But I don't know if Moose was screened on it. Was the OT winner stoppable. That was a terrible goal. That's on Moose. And I'm sure he feels terrible about it. And you Buffalo Sabres fans feel pretty terrible about it, too. Pittsburgh was 1:15 or so away from zero points, keeping Buffalo in 2nd place in the Conference. Instead, they pick up the full two. Ay, ay, ay.
Okay, so … here's the Bruce Levenson spin. "Clearly, Don Waddell's team was competitive versus Washington and Pittsburghy. And after we beat New Jersey on Tuesday, that will be all the evidence I need to extend Waddell another two years for a job well done."
Actually, here's what I think Bruce should say, instead. For … at least it would be 'honest' for a change. "Ahh, look. I don't care WHAT our MORON fans say. WEEEEE SAY Don Waddell's great. Screw all y'all if you don't like him. We'll find "new" fans to replace you. So suck on it! And, by the way, here's Waddell's new deal." What? He's the part-owner. If this is how he wants to operate, he deserves the financial hardship that follows his poor decision-making and judgement.

If the SOB could not shoot why the Hell was he in the lineup? Hardly dam indispensible! Way to go John Petrino. You gutless clueless oxygen waste! This one is for Always Hoping…..Apparently another Trasher apologist who is so happy the quitters only lost by, clue main chorus, one goal. AGAIN! That bullshet being said…Used to be apathetic to Trashers. Now I hate them. Every dam one of them except Johan Lehtonen. Moose is moving closer to my hate list after that obvious giveup job in Pittsburgh. The Tennessee Tuxedos were coasting! They were prime to be had. Trashers said no thanks! Any playoff appearances will cause havoc with our golf tee times. So they went bellyup with yet another totally heartless exhibition! Moose let one in shot from Scranton. Even Kari Lehtonen never did that! Painfully evident team wanted to lose. IF THEY CLAIM OTHERWISE THEY ARE DAM LIARS! Allow me to play Devil's Adocate. I will fake being an apologist! Here goes. Team played well. Yawn. Led most of way. Ho hum. Had Stanley Cup defenders on ropes. Uh huh. Never gave up. Lie. Played with intensity. Lie. Played tough. Lie. Performed well on hostile ice. Zzzzzz. Got some terrible calls. Boo hoo. Team collected a point. Jump into Hell with that meaningless pity point! Now on to more important stuff. Trasher goaltender allowed three marshmallow goals. Three! A KL effort if ever I witnessed one. A high school netminder would have stopped those three goals. No gripe on first power play tally. Hope somebody puts that SOB Malkin in hospital! ASAP. To all apologists. I was going to say go to Hell but I have a better solution. When the Trashers pack up for their journey to Hamilton then pack up and join them. Atlanta does not need the Trashers nor its apologist fans! I am dam tired of these gutless quitters representing my state. To Hell with all of them! ++STENDEK++ Happy Easter to Rawhide, Chris, Moose and all fellow fans who know Trashers are uncaring oxygen wastes who quit on fans months ago!

Stendek….if the "K means kinder then what did the "C stand for?
Brenden…….if you could watch only one game tonite…which one?
April 3rd, 2010
5:57 pm
Breaking in for a minute from the Stendek/Brendan love fest, I know everyone will pick on the softies let in by Moose, and they were soft, but Slater getting a penalty 200 feet from his own net with 2 minutes to go? And it was a clearly avoidable penalty, not some home cooking call. How many years you been in the league Jimmy? Is there anyone on this team with any hockey IQ at all?
April 3rd, 2010
6:28 pm
Always Hoping, maybe it stood for "crueler?" But in fairness to Mr. Stendec/k, he and his family have been through a lot these past few months. So, I sincerely do with them the best Easter possible.
Easter, like Thanksgiving and Christmas, is a time of family unity and togetherness, where we are, all of us, grateful for the blessings we do enjoy in life. Some years are better than others. In a way, it's just like our sports teams. Sometimes, the Falcons are in the NFC title game, and other years, they're 5-11.
I hope the NHL and the ownership … will take a long, hard look at itself … and clean up the situation here. In a city with over 5 million people, and the 8th largest TV market in the nation, that once set an NHL record for fan attendance in 1999-2000, we have to ask the question, "So, what went wrong?" And to think that things haven't gone wrong is to be in complete denial. If this team were a contender, it'd sell out every game. You don't have to be a Phi Beta Kappa to realize the relationship that exists between competence and incompetence, vis-a-vis running an NHL franchise. If it's being run properly, the fans will be there. If it's run without direction and purpose, you'll get a half empty arena. One-quarter filled with fans of the other team. One-quarter filled with fans who would pay to anyone skating with a Thrashers jersey on his back. That's a die-hard fan. That's someone who enjoys the sound of the words, "I've been a season ticket holder from Day One." But really, is there any chance, ANNNNNY chance at all, that you couldn't get a seat, elsewhere in your same section, maybe even same row, at half-price, by waiting? ANNNNY chance of that not happening? The arena holds 18,545 quality seats. Philips Arena is on the best "sight line" arenas in the whole league. By not renewing, you get Waddell fired. And then, you get your VERY SAME SEAT, for 50% off. Think about it.

Always Hoping, one game and only one game … Montreal vs. Buffalo.
April 3rd, 2010

Kovy's Agent, that's exactly right. And it's not exactly the first time Slater has done that. I understand that Slater is trying to make his mark, in a contract year. But this was the wrong way to go about it.
Personally, I think Slater will be back. At 770,000 dollars, and his longevity with the team, he'll probably get invited back. Worst case scenario? They'll put him on waivers. He might get claimed of re-entry waivers, at half price. He could be a 4th line center on about 4-5 other teams in this league.
April 3rd, 2010
9:30 pm
Will Don Waddell ever leave? 1 playoff in 10 years and he has never won a playoff game. What happened to Don's 5 year plan when he can to Atlanta? How can an incompetent like Waddell keep his job year after frustrating year???
April 3rd, 2010
11:41 pm
Ezekiel, the answer is clear. The issue of comptency, and the lack thereof, resides with ownership. If you were Waddell, would you raise your hand to tell ownership, "You really should fire me. I'm incapable." Obviously, you wouldn't. Therefore, a hoodwinkable schlub like Bruce Levenson is easy fodder for Waddell to keep his job. Waddell just flimflams 'im. He hornswaggles 'im. He bamboozles 'im with some doubletalk. Levenson doesn't have a clue. So, he buys it.
Meanwhile, Michael Gearon, Jr. knows that both Levenson and Waddell don't have a lick of luck. And I'm being kind, here. But both are "useful idiots" to him, as they serve his need in preparation of the team being sold, once it is stocked with high-end draft picks, and low inventory.
Waddell is William Hung. That is, a guy who thinks he's talented, when he isn't. But, he's not quite stupid enough to voluntarily remove himself. He's a snakeoil salesmen. And Bruce Levenson is his #1 customer. Levenson has a basement full of snakeoil.

And now, with 2:00 left in the 2nd period, Philadelphia is up, 4-2, against Detroit. That's terrible for us. But if you happen to be a fan of the Nashville Predators or Phoenix Coyotes, this is GOOD news.

Welcome Quest Scholars to Trinity College, a small school tucked away in Hartford, CT, that houses (literally) one of the city's highest points and oldest establishments.
My name is Hamdi Abdi and my hometown is Atlanta, GA, where only the food is heavier than the heat most days of the year. I came to Trinity for the first time two days before the start of classes, still unsure of what to expect. I knew to expect classes, homework, and hopefully at some point, a place to eat food. What I didn't expect from this small school were fencers and neuroscientists, or steppers and "urbanists." I didn't know whether or not to expect amazing professors and I sure didn't know what to expect from the students, but I quickly learned it was unthinkable not to expect amazing people doing amazing things.
I didn't expect that even in the midst of a capital city I was to welcome the unknown-at-first-but-eventually-to-die-for feel of beautiful New England. I didn't expect a year-long winter, either, but (coming from a person that couldn't bear fifty-degree winters before) I learned how to deal with it.
Welcome to Trinity, where you might not really know what you're looking for at first, but where you can expect to find it. And welcome to the Quest Scholars Network! We'll get you there.

Georgia State was beaten 80-77 by Delaware in overtime on Saturday at the Sports Arena. It's the second time this season that the teams played in overtime. The Blue Hens won both.
The Panthers (17-9,9-6) will play at James Madison on Tuesday.
The good
Josh Micheaux. Coach Ron Hunter said earlier this week that Micheaux was playing the best basketball of his career. He scored 26 points, more than any Georgia State player this season, before fouling out with less than a minute left in regulation. Unofficially, 23 of those points came on drives to the basket and the subsequent free throws. Hunter said he challenged Micheaux at halftime because he felt Delaware was playing tougher than his team was. He needed Micheaux, his toughest player, to step up. He scored eight points during a 17-0 run in the half.
Jihad Ali. He added 15 points and nine rebounds. His free throws sent the game into overtime. After Eric Buckner and Micheaux fouled out, Ali became the team's post presence. He was more animated tonight than I can remember seeing him this season.
The Bad
CAA race. The Panthers' hopes of securing a top-four seed in the CAA tournament aren't dead, but they might as well be. They needed to win the rest of their conference games and hope Old Dominion lost at least two. Now, they will need some major upsets to make it happen. They are tied with Delaware for fifth place, but the Blue Hens have the head-to-head tiebreaker.
Here's the remaining conference schedules for the teams ahead of the Panthers:
George Mason
Feb. 14 vs. VCU 9 p.m. CSS
Feb. 22 at Northeastern 7 p.m. ESPN3
Feb. 25 at VCU 6 p.m. ESPN/ESPN2
Feb. 14 vs.William & Mary 7 p.m.
Feb. 22 vs. JMU 7 p.m. ESPNU
Feb. 25 at Old Dominion 4 p.m. CSS
Feb. 14 at George Mason 9 p.m. CSS
Feb. 22 at UNC Wilmington 7 p.m.
Feb. 25 vs. George Mason 6 p.m. ESPN/ESPN2
Feb. 14 vs. UNC Wilmington 7 p.m.
Feb. 22 at Georgia State 7 p.m
Feb. 25 vs. Drexel 4 p.m. CSS
Feb. 14 at Hofstra, 7 p.m.
Feb. 22 at Towson, 7 p.m.
Feb. 25 vs. Northeastern, noon
Georgia State has games at James Madison, at home against Old Dominion and at William and Mary remaining. They could go 3-0, and the Hens 2-1. It's also possible ODU could lose two of its last three games. The Monarchs won't likely lose to UNCW.
3-point shooting: The Panthers hit 3 of 14.
The officiating. I'm reluctant to do this because of the can of worms it opens, but the officiating played an important role in the loss to Delaware. Georgia State was called for 27 fouls, more than in any other game this season. Delaware was called for 20, more than in any game in almost a month. Eric Buckner and Josh Micheaux fouled out. Khalid Lewis fouled out for Delaware.It's not odd to foul out, but the calls that fouled them out were less than obvious.
Fouls are fouls. However, there were so many off-the-ball fouls called it disrupted the flow and momentum of the game. Asked if he can remember a game with so many off-the-ball calls, Hunter said, "I'll say this. You have to earn respect. I'm fortunate in the league I was in before we used to get all those calls. Now we are coming up … we will get those."

Really tough loss. I guess all we can do is regroup and get ready for James Madison. We're still in the running for a 20-win season.
February 11th, 2012
7:24 pm
This loss has been the toughest for me as a fan, not sure why, but it sucks more than the others.
I hope CRH can get this team to rebound from this loss and win out for the rest of the season. The games against ODU and UTSA (non conference) are going to be the toughest, and on top of that the panthers need to win 3 more to have a 20 win regular season.
It will take a miracle for us to get that top 4 spot, but stranger this have happened.

I'm glad you mentioned the officiating Doug, because it was atrocious today going both ways. I actually heard a referee threaten to kick out a cheerleader today before the cheerleader even said anything. It's sad when the Atlantic Sun Conference can get better officials than the CAA, and the CAA pays double.
February 11th, 2012

It was a painful loss, but the comeback after being way down at the half was one of the highlights of the season for me. These guys can bring the intensity!

How much longer will we allow this? We have to fire Hunter. It's just not working.
February 12th, 2012
1:44 am
Great points Doug. It is a respect thing with officials and we are slowly building toasted that. Delaware is a talented team with very good young players in Saddler, Lewis and Threatt.
This one was tough to stomach but I believe getting down 12 at half cost us this ball game. That 15-0 run was excellent but it takes a ton of energy to do that. Delaware and coaches had to feel good they were only down 3-5 points after taking our biggest 2nd half punch. We still missed layups and free throws that should have resulted in a different outcome.
Onward & upward! On to JMU.

Yea, I felt like we were at times playing against a 6th man. Thanks CAA officials for another loss! Oh yea, by the way what was the fifth foul call on EB20? The phantom ghost call on offense under the basket with Delaware guys all over his back. Awful officiating!!! Maybe we need to change our name to Virginia State University to get some respect in the CAA?
February 12th, 2012
11:36 am
Tough loss, not sure why we had 4 of their players with 3 fouls with 7 mins and didn't attack to get them out of the game. I know it's easier said than done but this is something that needs to be a focus.
February 12th, 2012
11:51 am
While ref'ing was not great but we can't blame the refs. We had chances. Rest up, clear your heads, and on to the next game. Delaware is a team that has been improving during the year and I will be very happy not to see them in the tournament.
February 12th, 2012

Not sure why I'm being called a Southern troll. Went to Georgia State, class of '99. Been a donor to the athletics program since then and am frankly fed up with the way it's being run.
February 12th, 2012
8:57 pm
@GSU… I'm sure I'll regret this but okay…..What specifically would you fo different? Please provide a comprehensive descriptive answer. Thanks
February 12th, 2012
9:28 pm
@GSU seriously, would Ron Hunter have to go undefeated and win a national championship in his first season to satisfy you? What do you really expect for a first year coach who inherited a team that had never had a winning season?
It's great that you graduated in 99 and support GSU athletics, but you are unrealistic with the demands of Ron Hunter. If you don't see that he is building excitement and a winning tradition that we haven't had since Lefty.
I graduated in 05 and the way the athletics program feels to me now compared to when I was in school is completely opposite. I think the higher ups in Athletics should be more transparent about where the athletics program is headed, but I think our teams are heading in the right direction. Last football season was really tough, but will decide after this coming year whether it is heading in the right direction, even though it is going to be tough to get many W's in CAA play.

Very disappointing loss. I know BB is a game of streaks but up 7-0, down 11 @ half, 17-0 run to go up 5…. I know we do not have consistent shooters but we are also not swinging the ball or getting in into the post. Buckner has the highest shooing %, spread the court, get the ball inside to him and move on, it's not rocket science. After 17-0 run I would have used all of my TO's just to get rest and finish out game. Kimbro and Mcgee add nothing that late in the game. Substitutions looking a lot like Barnes. Players need to be in long enough to find their rhythm. Pulling them after one missed FG is futile. NEVER should have lost to Delaware @ home. This is OUR HOUSE and somebody needs to remind the players of that!!!!!

Tough loss. But, the future is bright with this program. When I remember that we have a winning season locked up, it amazes me.

Tough loss. Hope we can finish strong and get to 20 wins.

[...] As Doug from the AJC pointed out, the officials were quick to whistle any contact they saw, even well away from the ball. Eric Buckner fouled out in regulation and Tony Kimbro and Delaware's Khalid Lewis fouled out in overtime. Both teams combined to register 47 fouls in a game that struggled to find any significant amount of time without stoppage. Unfortunately for the Panthers, the one part of the game that saw the officials swallow their whistles resulted in a game-swinging 17-0 run. [...]

You guyyyyyssss! After seeing the billowy dress she wore to support her yoga instructor Mandy Ingber's new book, Yogalosophy -- it really does look as though Jennifer Aniston might be expecting a baby.
I know pregnancy rumors have followed her for about a decade and all -- but she really does seem to have a different sort of glow going on these days.
And oh yeah, she also made a comment that could be a major teaser that a little one is on the way.
In reference to her yoga practice, Jen said, "Yoga kinda helps you prepare for everything. Honestly, it's like meditation." She went on to add, "It just allows anything that is coming at you throughout the day to be kind of ... do-able."
Do-able, huh? Like handling the ups and downs of pregnancy? Or preparing to give birth? Or getting ready to become a 44-year-old mom?
More From Our Partners: Jennifer Aniston's Awkward Encounter With John Mayer
I know she didn't come right out and say it, but hinting that she's "preparing" for something combined with wearing a dress that obviously hides her mid-section is a recipe for some serious preggo speculation.
And if that isn't enough to fuel the rumor fire -- what about those cupping marks that were seen on Jen's back a few weeks ago? Cupping has been known to help with fertility, so could it be that the treatment was successful for her?
I don't want to jump to conclusions, but something in my gut is telling me she really might be pregnant. (OMG!)
And if she is, a baby really couldn't come at a better time. She's finally found the right man in Justin Theroux, and they're set to marry -- even though Brangelina's wedding may push Jen and Justin's back a bit. (Why does Angie always have to ruin everything? Gah.)
What better way to celebrate the perfect relationship than to throw a baby into the mix and live happily ever after? (C'mon, Jen. Don't disappoint us this time.)
Do you think Jennifer is pregnant?

oh wow . you writers seriously need to find better comments to make a post off lol
There is definitely something different about her. I see it in her face. Same thing I saw in the face of Princess Kate when she was in the early stages of her pregnancy. It's either pregnancy or botox. One or the other!
What a meaningless blog. What is so odd about that yoga comment?
That's a really big stretch
