The food on RC
We are long time RC travelers, 6 cruises with them, but the last 2 we have taken have been with Carnival as the food on RC got so bad. Cruise to Alaska and New England Cruise were terrible, food only the rest of the cruise was great as were the staff. Last cruise with them was late 2007. Please let me know if food has improved, it use to be so good. We really would like to get back with RC.
It will be your choise , but I dont like RC food :)
I think the food is great and I never went hungry.
When was the last time you traveled with them. Has it been recent.
Thanks for the info
I think the bean counters have definitely done enough take-aways in the food department. We enjoyed our last 2 cruises much better than last year but it's doubtful that it will be as good as it used to be anytime soon.
I've never had a bad meal on Royal Caribbean, but I don't order anything that I've never had before, food in the Windjammer has also been good.
Having cruised on Princess last year, I fould their food very good.
We sailed on the Liberty of the Seas in May and the food was wonderful. Windjammer, dining room and the speciality restaurants were the best we have found on any ship.
Dave the Wave is absolutely right...never have I gone hungry! Plenty of good things to pick from, that is for sure.
We sailed on Freedom this past November and the food was almost ALL good with 2 exceptions. Suzanne's spiedino di mare in Portofino's sucked
and the steak in the main dining room also sucked. Other than those 2 items we were very pleased with our food offerings.
Over the course of moderating here, I think we can all say,that, comments about the food going downhill was high up there.
While RCI went down, Carnival's went up, that has been the gist, but, as mentioned, there are so many options, and the abilty to get another dish, if it was not to your liking takes a bit of the sting out of it. I daresay, you won't leave the table hungry..No ranch or royal steak though:)
The only thing bad about RCL was the food...Everything tasted the same and was always served lukewarm...
16 days to Monarch
We've never really had much of a problem with the food on RC. The one issue that we have is that one of our group is a vegetarian and the choices for her can get a little repetitive....especially on our last cruise which was a 2-week one. It seems that much of the selection in Windjammer that was vegetarian was all Indian inspired. While she likes Indian, so do the rest of us, having to eat that each day can get a little tiring.
Just off Liberty and the food for me was great.
Although I have to say I don't cruise/vacation for food.
Food would be the least important thing for me in choosing a cruise/vacation.
When I sailed on the Liberty OTS, I thought the food was fine and we found something goog to eat every time we we wanted a meal or something between meals. You certainly won't go hungry.
Hello Fellowcruisers,
I have been on RCCL in 2008 and did not have any problem with their food at the Windjammer. There was so much food to choose from all the time, and as many have already commented on this forum, you were never hungry.
For the people who were vegetarian, I thought you could order special meals ahead of time, or is this just for the diningroom?
I also do not cruise for the food. Did anyone read the latest idea that the airlines have come up with: Your fare will be based on a combination of your weight and the weight of your luggage!
The reason that I want to know is because the food on Mariner was soooo bad, that my husband will no longer cruise RCCL. He just could not get over the fact that one cruise line (Carnival) could have such delicious food and RCCL was soooo bad! Everything, and I mean everything tasted the same. The lobster, if you want to call it that was pitiful! Do not ask for seconds. Your waiter looks at you with a stern face.
For me, I do not even finish firsts, however, my husband sometimes, when the food is edible asks for seconds.
We actually had a couple on the Mariner in 2007 who ate their way through the cruise. The ate 2 breakfasts, 2 lunches, 2 dinners and had no less than 4 meals served in their cabin! Their tastebuds must be dull as the food was not good enough for one meal, let alone about 10.
Just back from Majesty last week. I agree... we never went hungary!!
The food was not fantastic 5 star rating food, but there was plenty of it and it was good enough for our liking. We really didn't find anything to complain about food wise. I think that food is not too 'spiced' up and made a bit plain, but it was always good. The Windjammer always had plenty of different things to choose from for breakfast and dinner. And everything there was good.
I do agree, though, that there may not be enough variety in the dining room for vegetarians, as my niece is one; but she eats fish, so she was able to choose fish dishes.
I doubt anyone on that cruise went hungary!! So much food!! :shock:
Just off the Serenade. We ate mostly in the Windjammer which we thought was very good. Main Dining Room didn't always have a selection to our liking. The desserts were often tasteless. So where did that 2lbs I gained come from? LOL :D LOL
What is judgemental is when you are told that because you are a smoker, you do not have the class to cruise on any ship. THAT IS WHAT I CONSIDER JUDGEMENTAL AND CRASS!!!!!
Well, for what it's worth, we have never had a bad meal on Royal. Sometime I feel that dining in the main dining room can be a bit repetitive though with their dishes. Lately I've gotten spoiled by spending more time in the Speciality Restaruants. Yes, it costs a little more each day, but well worth it.
We've been sailing with RCL since 1985. The food has gone downhill tremendously, especially in the last 2 or 3 years. Last November when on the Independence the worst meal was a shrimp concoction that I almost spit out........it tasted like I had nothing but a mouth full of salt.
We have lowered our expectations but I don't know how much lower they can go. We do eat in Chops and Portofino's and enjoy that food but that is what they used to serve in the MDR at no extra charge.\
People eating more food than you think necessary isn't hurting you directly, secondhand smoke/smoking on the other hand is.
Did you request something else? If you did, did you receive the same reaction that I did on the Mariner? The waiter was, to say the least, not tooooo pleased!
Once people got sucked in going to specialty restaurants, they should have realized that the quality of food would suffer.
If I want special restaurants I have plenty here in my hometown.
I never had a bad meal on any cruiseship, but if you are willing to pay extra, the day will come when you will have to pay extra for everything.
I am not cheap, I spend plenty on my cruises. I don't mind paying for fine wine or tours etc. but I won't pay extra for dinner. It was good food and excellent service that built the cruise industry, not charging extra money for decent meal.
Point taken and noted. The problem is that the quality of the food and service in the MDR has become so poor that the special restaurants are the only escape cruisers have from the fare that is offered as part of the cruise price.
RCCL knows this and will continue the present trend until cruisers make a statement with the control that only cruisers have....
Happy sailing....
Food is the enemy! :shock: :twisted: Like the old saying goes "A minute on the lips forever on the hips" LOL LOL I'm already 8 pounds overweight that I can't get rid of. :(
Any of my fellow underweight cruisemates want 8 pounds?? :wink:
On the other hand, we've had wonderful meals in the MDR especially the Chilean sea bass... just scrumptious... and then they offer a steak that was substandard. It's become a game of pick and choose to get something worthwhile.
There was a time when anything you ordered on a cruise was mouth watering... and those days still exist... on Silversea, Regent Radison, Crystal..... You can't expect top of the line cuisine at bargain basement prices. The food offered on Royal is good wholesome fare, some really good and others not so much. So it goes... it is what it is.
We have only cruised RCL so we don't have another line to compare with, however we have never had a problem with the food. We cruise for the ports of call and the ammenities the ship has to offer and not for the food, but we have always been able to find something to our liking whether at the MDR, Windjammer or Specialty Restaurants.
RC food is not that good :arrow:

NAPOLEON Taumoepeau knocked out veteran Mosese Kavika in the second round of their six round heavyweight bout during the Naidiri Boxing program at Prince Charles Park in Nadi on Saturday night.
The win has enabled the 36-year-old fighter to step closer to his dream of challenging the heavyweight title against Petero Qica.
Despite the win, Taumoepeau was disappointed with the referee Faiyaz Khan of New Zealand on his decision to stop the fight.
"I am happy with the win but I was disappointed that the fight was cut short," he said.
"I know that Kavika is a class boxer and he was skilful to last more than two rounds."
Kavika, 45, also aired his disappointment about the referee's decision.
"I am upset with the decision made by the referee," the veteran boxer said.
"I wanted to continue unfortunately the referee stopped the fight.
"I think this kind of judgement is a drawback to the development of boxing in Fiji."
Referee Faiyaz Khan said he stopped the fight in the best interest of the boxer's safety.
"I was close to the action and I knew and saw what these two boxers went through," he said.
"Kavika was struggling to find his breath and he would be in serious case if I had left the fight to continue.
"To see a fighter of his age being punished by a huge and powerful boxer like Napoleon would be unfair.
"I could let him carry on but safety is paramount which is the reason I stopped the fight."
Meanwhile, in other results Sailasa Moko lost to Lautoka's Wahid "King" Khan after referee Jerry Ledua stopped the contest in the fifth round.

Driving down Capitol Avenue in Sacramento, you may see something off-kilter this Halloween.
It's not quite a haunted house (though a past owner says there may be a friendly lavender-scented ghost). Instead, it's a turn-of-the-century Victorian lifted off the ground on stilts.
"The house was not really tied to the foundation, so lifting it off the foundation was relatively easy," owner Kevin Boll said.
Boll and his partner Philip Trimboli purchased the house in 2014, after years of searching for a Victorian that hadn't been gutted or split into separate apartments. But the house had a crumbling brick foundation that needed to be replaced.
The 70-ton house was lifted up and placed on wooden planks – stacked on top of each other, like the game Jenga. Once a concrete foundation is poured, the house will be lowered. Boll and Trimboli plan to do 90 percent of the work themselves.
"You just have to break it into pieces and do it in parts. Then it's not as daunting, if you will," Boll said.
As for the renovation, the couple plans to keep much of the original character and charm. The appliances, however, will be updated.
"It's just the modern conveniences. Turning [an appliance] on, and it turns on without you having to worry about lighting it," Boll said, laughing.

As an outsider, and not knowing anyone from either group-
Being new to Texas...but not Camaro5...I met and got to know many members while living in Canada...
LSC seems to be pushy and controlling and I personally don't get a good vibe.
Many people like myself are car people, but not car club people because they tend to be too political, etc. and this informal group of C5 people get together without the drama. I see a fit for both types of groups, but the "Club" needs to back off and quite being so negative to a group that just wants to informally meet up...
Just my opinion having followed this section since moving down here a few months back.
My suggestion...schedule your track times together, but keep all else seperate (and LSC just let the other group be).

The country's electronics industry is on the edge with the sale of products such as laptops facing a possible blackout from next month onwards.
According to a missive by the department of electronics and information technology, major electronics products could not be sold or imported into the country unless they are tested for quality standards and certified by the Bureau of Indian Standards.
However, despite a three-month extension in the original deadline and around 1,500 applications, BIS has registered just one product so far.
"A complete licence raj has been unleashed on the industry by way of this compulsory registration, which is neck-deep in bureaucratic red tape," said a senior official of a major personal computer manufacturer, who did not want to be identified due to the sensitivity of the matter.
"The delay is worrying the industry no end," the official added, saying test reports of products, which were globally certified before worldwide launches, were being returned with a 'volley of questions'.
J V Ramamurthy, president of the electronics hardware industry body Manufacturer's Association for Information Technology, said unless this issue was resolved or the government further extended the deadline, the industry would not be able to import or sell any product after July 3.
"Since the list of products required to be certified includes major items such as notebooks, tablets, plasma and LCD television sets, along with printers and scanners, the turnover of companies is expected to be severely impacted," said Ramamurthy, who is also the president and chief operating officer of HCL Infosystems Ltd.
The department introduced the Electronics and Information Technology Goods (Requirements for Compulsory Registration) Order late last year to check the sales of substandard and spurious electronic items in the country, which were considered not only to be a health hazard but also a security risk.
To start with, the government had notified a list of 15 products as requiring compulsory registration with plans to notify other products as well as components in later stages.
An official of the department of electronics said discussions were going on with the ministry of consumer affairs, food and public distribution to which BIS was attached to find out a solution. Justifying the time being taken for the registration, a BIS official told Business Standard
"Every report is 40-50 pages long, which has to be looked into minutely." The official, who also did not want to be named, said the process to grant registration was started six-eight months ago and there were nine certified labs in the country, which had been deputed for the purpose.
"Even if companies can't meet the July 3 deadline, if they have submitted the test report, they can continue to sell the products till October by which time the registrations should be completed," the official added.
However, any delay beyond the July deadline will invoke a penalty of around Rs 100,000 per month on each product line a company sells.
"For any vendor, it would mean an expenditure of Rs 50-60 lakh (Rs 5-6 million) per month as a consequence of something which is of no fault of theirs," said S Rajendran, chief marketing officer of Acer India.
Rajendran added each vendor would on an average get at least 50-60 of their product ranges registered, which fall within the mandated categories.
This also comes at a time when the industry is reeling under the impact of slow consumer as well as corporate sales of electronic items in the country, along with a depreciating rupee that will add to companies' import bill.
Even though the first quarter of the calendar year 2013 was better in terms of sales, the overall personal computer shipments grew by just three per cent over the corresponding period last year at 2.71 million units, according to market research firm IDC India.
Products that need to be certified by the Bureau of Indian Standards before July
1 Electronic games (video)
2 Laptops and tablets
3 Plasma/LCD/LED televisions of screen size 32 inches and above
4 Optical disc players with built-in amplifiers of input power 200 W and above

Crystal Quest Commercial Multi-Media Water Filter System, 40 cu ft
Items for Sale

Plumbing & Fixtures
Visit the seller's website to buy!
Multi media Filter Systems, also known as depth filters or turbidity filters, contains two or more types of media and a gravel under-bedding. The gravel is used as a support to keep smaller medias out of the distribution system and to stop channeling of water. Commercial multimedia systems are designed for the removal of turbidity in the water caused by sand, silt, ferric iron, oxidized manganese or sulfur. They are used in applications such as chlorination filtration systems, general turbidity removal and prior to ultraviolet sterilizers or water softeners. Multi media filtration is a proven design concept; the coarse media layers in the top of the tank trap large particles, and smaller particles are trapped in the finer layers of media deeper in the filtering bed. The result is a highly efficient filtering, since removal takes place throughout the entire bed. Our Commercial Multi-Media Water Filters use patented Eagle Redox Alloy to significantly increase lifespan of the filter and prevent bacteria contamination. Eagle Redox Alloy is a copper-zinc formula that is completely safe to operate and meets EPA and FDA standards for level of zinc and copper in potable water. Redox also removes up to 99% of free chlorine, and reduces lead, mercury, iron and hydrogen sulfate. Multi media filters typically remove particles 5 to 15 microns in size as opposed to a conventional single media sand filter which removes 30 micron or higher. Available water flow is between 22 GPM and 280 GPM (gallons per minute). All units can be assembled with or without automatic backwash valve. Contact us for price information on manually backwashed units. Warranty: 1 year from manufacturer on the system, 5 years on Fleck control valve, 10 year on media tank. NOTE: SHIPPING IS NOT INCLUDED! The units are VERY heavy. They are custom-built on the site, actual shipping charges will be added to your order after assembly. 40 cu.ft., 3 inch pipe, 205 max flow.

Says Judge William Hoeveler, who will preside over the trial of deposed Panamanian strongman Manuel Noriega: "As far as I'm concerned, the trial will be conducted just like any other trial."
Oh, sure, just another trial, except for the fact that the defendant was head of a sovereign nation, that he surrendered to law enforcement authorities only after his country was invaded by U.S. troops, that he was secretly on the U.S. payroll for years, that Fidel Castro may be a witness, that an informant has received $510,000 from the United States since agreeing to testify against the general and that the defense strategy is to subpoena every top secret U.S. document extant dealing with Latin America while claiming that the defendant was arrested and charged only because he wouldn't help overthrow the Sandinistas in Nicaragua.
Except for those and a few other unique aspects, it will be just another trial (assuming no last-minute plea bargain, which is possible).

The next time you crack open a locally brewed beer, just know you're drinking suds in "Craft Beer Country."
Harrisburg area tourism officials have found a way to tap into a growing money maker by marketing local breweries.
Jason Reimer, president of Craft Beer Country, said he saw the success from the Central Pennsylvania Wine Region and thought tourism could tap into the local beer scene.
Twelve breweries have partnered with CBC: Al's of Hampden/Pizza Boy Brewing, Alto Ego Brewing Company, Appalachian Brewing Company, Bube's Brewery, JoBoy's Brew Pub, Lancaster Brewing Company, Market Cross Pub & Brewery, Millbock Brewing Company, Saint Boniface Craft Brewing Company, Snitz Creek Brewery, The Brewery at Hershey, and Troegs Brewing Company.
With a $50,000 Dauphin County Economic Development grant, Reimer said CBC will be promoted for more than just drinking area ales.
"They're going to have a world class experience," he said. "All, 12 breweries believe in education. They believe in the art of making a great beer."
Every year, the midstate beer industry pumps $2 billion into the local economy; nearly $9 billion state wide. According to business analysts, for every brewery job, another 45 are generated from manufacturing, distribution and retail.
Artie Tafoya with Harrisburg beer maker Appalachian Brewing Company is eager to go from grains to glass to pockets.
"We want those tourism dollars brought into our area," he said. "We want to keep them in our area, and we want to use them in our area and spend them in our area."
So far, CBC has two scheduled events. The Central Pennsylvania Oktoberfest at Hollywood Casino will take place Saturday, October 5. All 12 breweries are expected to attend to celebrate CBC and area Dutch food. In March, CBC will hold March Craftness.
While fall tends to be a slow tourism season for the area, CBC has rolled out the barrel just in time for convention season. Reimer said no doubt CBC will give tourists another option to extend their visit.
"We're giving people another reason to stay an extra night in this region to enjoy our restaurants, our shopping our spas," he said.

Importations Thibault ltd has worked in the field of distribution for almost 40 years. In 1971, Mr. Jean Thibault (President / Founder), while in the employ of his father (the late Auguste Thibault) at Thibault Marine (which later became Motos Thibault; a marine and motorcycle dealership in the Sherbrooke area), decided to start importing parts and fittings for the purposes of his business and those in the region.
It was then, in November 1981 that Importations Thibault ltd was officially created. Mr. Thibault would go on to purchase a warehouse of 25 000 ft² in downtown Sherbrooke (Quebec). As the operation gained momentum, Mr. Thibault quickly brought in some prestigious lines that are still available today. One need only think of Dunlop, Bridgestone, Givi, Spectro, Yuasa, DID, EK, NGK, Wiseco ... just to name a few brands. In fact, some of these brands would make their first appearance on the Canadian scene with Importations Thibault ltd. This is true for Bridgestone, EBC, Slipstreamer and Spectro. In addition, in 1988 Importations Thibault ltd became the first importer/distributor for the world famous GIVI range of products.
The company's growth would increase not only with the arrival of his wife Michele in the early 90s, but also with his children Julie and Jean-François and their respective spouses. With their arrival, Mr. Thibault would acquire in 1994 a warehouse on Sauvé Street in Sherbrooke's Industrial Park, our current location. The expansions would follow one after another. At 45 000 ft² in 1994, it increased to 55 000 ft² in 1995, to 80 000 in 1997 and now stands at an impressive 100 000 ft². Dedicated exclusively to the world of motorcycles and quads, this makes Importations Thibault ltd one of the largest distributors of parts and accessories for recreational vehicles in the country.
Mr. Thibault is a tireless worker and is still head of Importations Thibault ltd, assisted by his family. For even if the company has always taken a prominent place in his life, his family remains his main priority.If Importations Thibault ltd is distinguished by the breadth of its facilities and products offered, it is also distinguished by its personalized approach. Despite its large size, customer service continues to be of major importance. Importations Thibault ltd treats their customers with respect and courtesy, regardless of the size of the client. This service has been the hallmark of Importations Thibault ltd from the very beginning. If service is the cornerstone of Importations Thibault ltd. Importations Thibault ltd also owes its success to its dynamic and dedicated team of employees. In the end, a passion for motorcycling is what unites the people of Importations Thibault.Although Importations Thibault ltd has been established for several years, it still looks to the future. Always searching for new products, Importations Thibault ltd continues to expand.

Ravalli County Planning Board Chair Loses Seat
HAMILTON, Mont. (AP) — Ravalli County commissioners have declined to reappoint the chairman of the planning board, who made racist remarks during a meeting between commissioners and members of the Confederated Salish and Kootenai Tribes.
Jan Wisniewski of Darby had applied for another two-year term on the unpaid board, but no commissioners nominated him for the post Thursday. Commissioners did not give a reason.
Tribal leaders met with county commissioners in November to discuss the tribe's plan to put some tribal acreage in trust with the federal government. The move would cost the county $800 in property taxes. Wisniewski has been criticized and commissioners apologized for comments he made at the end of the meeting.
Wisniewski told KECI-TV that he might apply for a seat on the planning board again.

No. 12/14 Louisville surges past Hokies in fourth quarter
Hicks sets single-season steals record
February 9, 2017
|(12) Louisville (21-6, 8-4)
|Virginia Tech (16-8, 3-8)
BLACKSBURG – The Virginia Tech women's basketball team was tied up at 58 with No. 12/14 Louisville in the opening seconds of the fourth quarter, but the Cardinals outscored the Hokies 30-12 the rest of the way to secure an 88-70 win on Thursday night in ACC action at Cassell Coliseum.
Chanette Hicks led the Hokies (16-8, 3-8 ACC) with 19 points, six rebounds and seven steals. With her first steal of the game, Hicks broke the single-season record of 91 which she set last season. Sidney Cook added 18 points and five boards while Samantha Hill tallied 13 points, six rebounds. Vanessa Panousis chipped in 12 points and three assists.
"I think our team is too good for moral victories," said head coach Kenny Brooks. "We were playing a man down and I refer to Regan [Magarity] as our security blanket. She does so much for us, not just her double-doubles, but knowing that she is back there and is going to erase some of the mistakes we make. She brings positive leadership to the court and we need that. But I really thought the rest of the team stepped up through three quarters. We did a good job of competing and playing hard; we've gotten back to that the past couple games. The fourth quarter just got away from us. We started making some mental errors; give Louisville credit they took advantage of it.
The first quarter went back and forth between the two teams with five ties, the last at 17-17 with just under two minutes to play, but the Cardinals took the 21-19 lead heading into the second. Tech tied it up with a jumper from Hicks in the opening seconds, and the teams continued to trade baskets over the next few minutes, knotted for the seventh time at 28-28 with 7:06 on the clock. Louisville went on a 12-4 run to go on top 40-32, but the Hokies scored the final three points of the half to cut it to a five-point game at the break.
Louisville held the lead through much of the third quarter, but the Hokies kept it close and trailed by two with 2:55 to go before a Hicks layup tied it up 54-54 on the next trip down the floor. The Cardinals held the 58-56 advantage heading into the final 10 minutes of the game. Panousis quickly tied it up early in the fourth on a pair of free throws in the opening seconds, but Louisville answered with an 11-0 run to go up 69-58 with 7:32 to go. Tech got it back down to six (69-63) 90 seconds later, but the Cardinals closed out the game, outscoring the Hokies 19-7 in the final minutes.
Tech shot 40 percent from the field while the Cardinals connected on 57.8 percent, including an 85.7 percent clip in the fourth quarter. The Hokies held the advantage in the turnover battle, forcing 15 while only giving the ball up eight times but the Cardinals outrebounded Tech 48-27.
Asia Durr led the Cardinals (21-6, 8-4 ACC) with 30 points. Mariya Morre tallied 17 points and 11 assists. Myisha Hines-Allen added 13 points, 13 rebounds while Sam Fuehring chipped in 11.
The Hokies are back on the court Sunday, Feb. 12 at NC State. Game time is set for 2 p.m. at Reynolds Coliseum.

On Feb. 12 Radar Online shares that "Mob Wives" star Alicia Dimichele Garofalo has made the hard decision to divorce her husband after the deceit and betrayal she endured when her husband was arrested for embezzlement and fraud through their shared trunking company business.
Alicia's mobster husband, Eddie "Tall Guy" Garofalo was sentenced to two years in federal prison while on "Mob Wives" after the feds picked him up. Alicia plead guilty to "cooking the books" and still awaits trial for her sentencing. During the show, Alicia claims that she had no idea that her husband was deep into the mob lifestyle and was completely on the outs about the whole thing, even cooking the books which she did, however, unknowingly.
Alicia was on federal wiretaps for several years while not knowing it because of her husband's connections. While she did the crime, she was mostly an accomplice in all of it because her husband was having her do the books for their trucking company without telling her what was really going on or what the whole story was.
Alicia says that she made the decision to file for divorce because although she will always love her husband, she doesn't think she can ever get over the hurt and betrayal that she endured. She says that there are just too many reasons to mention for filing.
Many fans of the "Mob Wives" show feel that Alicia is divorcing her husband to gain leniency in her own trial so that she can stay with her kids instead of having to hand them off to someone else while both their parents are in prison.

Georgia quarterback Aaron Murray was discussing the impending game with Auburn last week when he was asked about the likely Southeastern Conference championship showdown against the Alabama Crimson Tide.
"I bet they're going to be huge favorites in the game, and rightly so," Murray said. "They're undefeated, and they're the No. 1 team in the nation. They haven't lost a game in God knows how long and have won [national] championships two out of the past three years. Obviously they are going to be favored."
Only now it's not so obvious.
As Alabama was coming up short in a 29-24 home loss to Texas A&M this past weekend, Georgia was getting going in its 38-0 blasting of the Tigers in Jordan-Hare Stadium. Mark Richt's Bulldogs, who showed such little life in a 35-7 loss at South Carolina on Oct. 6 and struggled past Kentucky on Oct. 20, have caught fire in becoming the first team to punch a ticket to the Georgia Dome on Dec. 1.
Alabama (9-1 overall, 6-1 SEC) needs to defeat Auburn on Nov. 24 to join the Bulldogs (9-1, 7-1), who have defeated Florida, Ole Miss and Auburn the past three Saturdays by a combined 92-19 and are the only SEC team that hasn't lost during the past five weeks.
"They were a good team that just had a bad night, a terrible night, and we played probably our top game of the year," South Carolina coach Steve Spurrier said Sunday. "Sometimes it can go like that, but they regrouped, so give Coach Richt, his staff and players some credit. They've won them all since they left here.
"Their schedule was favorable, but that's the way it is sometimes. They beat Florida, which was a huge game, and they're the Eastern Division champs again. It's very similar to last year. We're 6-2 two years in a row without winning the division, and we beat the winner."
Georgia's opposition from the West was not as strong as what Florida and South Carolina encountered, but the Bulldogs did pull a rare feat. Georgia had not defeated Auburn, Florida and Tennessee in the same season since the league went to divisional play in 1992 until the Bulldogs swept them last year, and now they've done it again.
Richt admitted the mood was different in clinching the East compared to last season, when that title trip was a first since 2005. Once in Atlanta a year ago, the Bulldogs led LSU early before getting walloped 42-10.
"We are excited about it, and I don't want to belittle it in any way, shape or form," Richt said after the game, "but since we were there last year and didn't do very well, we want to have a better performance. There is also a little different feeling in everyone's spirit that Atlanta is not the end of the road, we hope."
Richt said Sunday that this team could be reminiscent of his 2002 SEC title team in terms of playing very good defense, rarely turning it over and being solid in the kicking game. That team closed by routing Georgia Tech 51-7, drubbing Arkansas 30-3 in Atlanta and then dumping Florida State 26-13 in the Sugar Bowl.
The Bulldogs, who remained No. 5 in the BCS standings, host Georgia Southern and Georgia Tech the next two weeks. This Saturday will mark the first time Georgia hasn't played an SEC team the game before facing the Yellow Jackets since 1958, when The Citadel was the next-to-last foe.
Odds and ends
Murray now leads the SEC and ranks third nationally in pass efficiency (170.66). ... Senior safety Bacarri Rambo collected his 15th career interception at Auburn, leaving him one shy of the school mark set by Jake Scott during the 1967-68 seasons.

Integrating Parapet and Roofing Flashing
Provided By:
Source: MASONRY CONSTRUCTION MAGAZINE
Publication date: March 1, 2001
On the inside face of a parapet or wherever a masonry wall intersects a lower roof, I have seen cases where the masonry flashing exits the wall one or more courses above the top of the retaining bar for the roof base flashing. Will this cause any problems?
There can be problems whenever the roof base flashing and the masonry through-wall flashing are not properly integrated. This is especially true if the masonry flashing stops or is held back slightly at the face of the masonry. If the flashing does not extend beyond the face of the wall, there is a chance the water may run around the end of the flashing and re-enter the wall below. Another good reason for projecting the through-wall flashing beyond the face of the wall is to prevent the outlet edge of the masonry flashing from being inadvertently covered when the roof membrane and roof base flashing are replaced. This would seal off the masonry flashing and route the water under the roofing. (DonÆt laugh; IÆve seen it happen.)
But there can be problems even when the masonry flashing does project beyond the face of the wall if it exits more than one or two courses above the roof base flashing. When water flows across the face of the wall or out from the weep holes, it will flow over the masonry between the bottom of the masonry flashing and the top of the roof base flashing.

A brilliant adaptation of Shakespeare's classic, "Hamlet" cap-itures all the emotion of the play. Mel Gibson stars as the Prince of Denmark, who feigns insanity to learn more about the death of his father. Glenn Close is wonderful as the queen. This pair is joined by Helena Bonham-Carter, who brings the character of Ophelia to life. With a superb cast of supporting actors, "Hamlet" is a real treat for Shakespearean fans and anyone who wants to see a great movie. n

ChronoBlade is an arcade-style beat-em up coming soon to a browser near you. The developer inculdes creator of Lemmings and Grand Theft Auto and the lead designer for the first two Diablo games, plus folks who worked on the Dead Space series and Dante's Inferno. Just look at the pedigree, you can imagine it! It would also come to iOS and Android, but we have to wait and wait...
"It's also got gorgeous 3D graphics and character design that flaunts both style and a sense of humor. How else would you describe a magic-using female whose "Something Heavy" ability literally drops something heavy on the bad guys? The setting and story focus on champions from various parallel dimensions joining forces to defend the Multiverse against something called the Chronarch Imperium, creating plenty of potential for stages set in just about any time or place.
Just about everything about the game oozes with promise, with the possible exception of the controls. Using a keyboard for such an action-heavy title seems like it could be unwieldy, though the game's foundation in Flash 11 means controllers can't be ruled out down the road. That would be a good thing. Support for co-op and PvP multiplayer modes is definitely planned, as are iOS and Android ports."
This game will come to Facebook first, later on iOS and Android. But, it worth to wait!

Philadelphia Phillies: Remembering and Missing the Legend Harry KalasApril 14, 2011
On April 13, 2009, Harry Kalas went to a better place. The voice of the Philadelphia Phillies died at the age of 73.
It has been two years and 730 days since Harry the K passed, but it still feels like yesterday.
I am only 23 years old, so Harry Kalas and his voice were Phillies baseball to me.
A lot of the articles I write contain a lot of facts and statistics, but this article quite simply will be one fan honoring one of his heroes. I hope I can do the man justice with this piece.
He will forever be my all-time favorite Phillie.
He loved Philadelphia and he loved all of the Philadelphia fans. His delivery and signature "Outta here!" home run calls provided the soundtrack to Philadelphia baseball for nearly four decades. His voice will never be replaced and it will never be forgotten.
The love story between Kalas and the fans continues to this day with the Phillies announcing that they have gratefully accepted the gift of a bronze statue of Kalas, for placement outside their home stadium. The statue was completely funded by the fans who loved and cherished Harry Kalas.
Harry Kalas will always stand guard outside Citizens Bank Park.
You can be sure that Harry and Whitey are looking down on the Phillies with a smile because of the sell-out crowds and winning baseball since their passing.
It is still hard to turn on the television or radio and not hear Kalas' voice calling the Phillies game. Kalas quite simply, was Philadelphia.
He even was the voice of so many famous football clips, joining NFL Films as a narrator in 1975. He did the voice over for "Inside the NFL" from 1977 through 2008.
If you have ever met the guy (I was lucky enough to meet him) only complimentary things could be said of him. He was the most genuine, charming man I have ever met.
It was only fitting that he passed after watching his beloved team win one more World Series. He was found unconscious in a broadcast booth, and it was later determined that he died of heart disease.
Kalas was unable to call the Phillies World Series in 1980 and there was such outrage by the fans of Philadelphia that the rule was changed by Major League Baseball the next season. He will forever be the voice of the Phillies and at least he got to call one World Series.
I come from a huge family of Phillies baseball fanatics and his calls still reign throughout our household. We always thought of Kalas as a member of our family. Gathering around the television or radio as a family listening to Kalas is one of the fondest memories of my childhood. He called games for the Phillies since 1871, but every game seemed to endear him more and more to Philadelphia.
He became known for many things as the announcer of the Phillies.
The sound of Harry leading the clubhouse (and now stadium) to the tune of "High Hopes" by Frank Sinatra will be forever a part of Philly as the E-A-G-L-E-S EAGLES chant.
He would call homers by a certain Hall of Fame third baseman by noting the player's full name: "Michael Jack Schmidt." I never was able to watch Schmidt live but because of Kalas I feel like I had.
He was even known for leaving voice-messages on answering machines for fans. My uncle was lucky enough to have the following voice-mail recorded by Kalas personally:
"Sorry Joe can't reach you right now, but he's on A LONG DRIVE AND WAY OUTTA HERE!!!"
It is selfless acts like that will forever make Harry Kalas one of the most beloved figures in Philadelphia sports history.
Kalas was nationally recognized as well. He was a recipient of the Baseball Hall of Fame's Ford C. Frick Award for his contributions to the game, and was inducted in the MLB Hall-of-Fame in 2002.
Do you still find yourself watching or listening to old Harry Kalas clips? What was it about this man that enabled him to connect so to the city of Philadelphia? Is it because in baseball, it seems you are listening to the announcers every night? Then why aren't all baseball announcers as loved as Harry the K?
It has been two whole years since Harry passed, and I still get a little choked up every so often when I don't hear his voice or see his smile when I turn on the game. He seemed to find the good in everybody and was loved by his colleagues and the players as much as the fans.
As mentioned earlier, I was fortunate enough to meet Harry Kalas when he came to my high school before our state championship football game (to wish us good luck of course.) Hundreds of people flocked around him as soon as he entered the gymnasium and it seemed as if everyone in attendance, young and old, referred to him simply as Harry (first name-basis with a legend was the type of man he was.)
I sat patiently while the festivities ensued not thinking about the biggest game of my life to that point, but if I was going to have the opportunity to meet my idol. A whole hour of speeches, drums, cheerleaders (you get the picture) played out in front of me and I became content with the fact that I had at least seen Harry up close and personal.
When I was leaving the gymnasium with the team, I saw my opportunity when he was walking to his car with his son. I ran over to him and called out, "Harry K!" He turned around with that same smile that I'd seen on TV a million times before and my nervousness and awe turned into comfort and relaxation.
I will never forget what was said that day:
"Mr. Kalas, I just wanted to let you know that you have been like a father figure to me and even though this is the first time we have ever met, I feel like I have known you for years. Thank you so much for everything you have done and you will always be my favorite Phillie."
His reply was simply, "No, thank you young man. It is incredible comments like those that make me feel like the happiest and luckiest man in the world."
And he embraced a 6'2", 210 pound, 17-year-old strong-safety like he was a young child.
And that same teenager who is now 23 years old, can still admit that he gets as choked up now thinking about that moment as he did when it first happened.
For all of the deserving and astounding accomplishments Harry Kalas received during his time as an announcer, his greatest feat is that of a human being that so loved his city, the fans, and his team.
Cheers Harry. We will never forget you and thank you for being such an incredible part of our lives. Our hearts and prayers continue to go out to the Kalas family, and we thank you for allowing this great man to be apart of our family for so many years.
You will always be our favorite Phillie.

Ghanaian teenager Isaac Donkor debuts for Inter
Ghana's 17 –year-old, Isaac Donkor, described his first-team debut for Inter as an 'unforgettable experience' after turning out in the Europa League.
It was the first time the youngster walked out in the Black and Blue stripes of Inter on Thursday evening, but it had a bitter sweet ending to it as Inter crumbled 3-0 to Rubin Kazan.
The Nerazzurri abdicated their position as group leaders to the Russian outfit in which Andrea Stramaccioni opted to leave his old guard at home in order to give the youngsters a shot.
"I'm really happy, especially for all the people who care about me. Coming on tonight was amazing, I feel so excited but also sad about the goals we conceded,†he told Inter Channel.
"It could have been better. The coach asked me and Garritano to warm up, then he decided to bring me on. Playing alongside these great players was an unforgettable experience."
The Ghanaian defender is part of the Inter Youth team which won the NextGen Series under Stramaccioni last season.

Hi all,
I'm looking for an aircraft platform to do some aerial photography from and was hoping that you may have some bright ideas.
I don't mind is it is ready to fly, a kit or just plans (that would actually be better).
Here are the requirements:
Fuel source can be electric and gas (not nitro!).
Looking forward to see if anyone can come up with something.
Thanks guys

Dont know how helpful it will be. but this seems like it will work well for your plans. They are about the same as mine. If you get the new upgraded model, would you mind giving me the internal size/space specs?
In warm weather your density altitude will be much higher, I often get 8000' DAs living at 5400'. A bigger problem can actually be standing outside for me, its just too hot for me to be out. Stay away from dark airframes if your in a hot place!
I suggest the Lanyu 100 with a 50cc twin cylinder ( for low vibration) petrol engine would be more suited to your needs than the Mugin.
I found this in the same forum thread - just deeper in.
Still learning... So for my benefit, why?
Why..? Well now that you ask, I realise I should have asked for more information before I made my recommendation, and then explained my reasoning.
When I saw that Mr Sharp wants to take off from 5000 ft in a hot climate, where it is difficult to take nitro fuel, I just guessed that he is not in London any more. I imagined a third world country where conditions were not ideal for take off and landing. Manoeuvrability and durability become prime attributes. Because Mr Sharp is asking this question, I guessed that he is not an experienced and expert pilot.
We are flying the Mugin from 2000 ft. With 4.5 kilos on the nose just for balance, all up weight of 16 kilos, it requires a lot of speed for its lift. The slowest comfortable speed is around 100 km/hr, wide open throttle level flight is about 180 km/hr. This thing uses up the field at a great rate, and I have to work hard to keep up with it. Now, I consider myself an experienced, but ordinary weekend hack pilot of a wide range of nitro planes. We have a perfect 90 metre long, 9 metre wide, artificial strip visitors drool over, and it takes all my skill to get the Mugin down on it safely without running off the end. see http://www.cmac.org.au/about.htm The plane is well built, but in a manner that makes field repairs difficult. A few rolls of duct tape will just not do. The aluminium tubes are a close fit, and bending one would be hard to patch around. We cannot source spare tubing anywhere - and we have tried. The nose undercarriage is not all that strong, and has such a long moment that it is very vulnerable to not the best landings, or even running into obstacles at take off speed.
Now consider the Lanyu 100. It is advertised to fly with a 35cc petrol motor - a 50cc motor will give plenty of reserve for flying at altitude. The format is more like a trainer, giving more manoeuvrability and a lower landing speed, which, with a taildragger undercarriage, should be a considerable advantage for durability on third world country landing grounds in tricky conditions
My guess is that this aircraft would be more likely to be within Mr Sharp's capabilities. My apologies if I am mistaken, no offence was intended.
Of course! I would imagine that at that kind of starting altitude, it may also be hard to find enough space to take off from. Once again hats off for your sound advice and thorough research. I am currently looking into rigging a short launch/ tail-hook recovery system. I have had the pleasure of a few full-power combat take-offs and think we can shorten the Mugin's take-off with a wheel track/rail release at full power. I am also asking around about fabrication of Carbon Kevlar replacement tubing. I'm pretty sure I can find alum tubing here too, but i don't know the cost yet. And that is a very nice strip!!
100 cc power to fly a 250 gramme camera? Thats around 8 to 10 horsepower at sea level! (Rule of thumb; engine power loss due to altitude is approx 3% per thousand feet). Should be looking at something hand launched, belly/skid landing, around 4 to 5 lbs weight,with about 1 to 1.5 hp. Attached pics of the sort of thing thats adequate.O.S.32 glow with a 10x6 APC prop, 8 oz fuel at cruise power setting gives 50 minutes duration.Payload GP Hero plus live video to pilots "magic goggles. 10% nitro fuel to 8k ft, 40% nitro at 12k ft. Vid cam under one wing, Vid TX under the other, plus belly cam.
!2 k ft where? On the Siachen Glacier, border of Indian Kashmir and China, to surveil incursions by Chinese troops at the border.(Demos for Indian Army).
You're quite right, Macboffin, but you didn't take note of my user name, did you?
Anyhow, yes, I must apologise and downsize the recommended aircraft somewhat.
You would have to be on top of your game to select all the components necessary to fly an electric plane at 6000 ft in 10 -20 knot winds for an hour. I would really like some viewer who has actually done this even at 600ft (where I fly) to chime in and tell us what to start with. So, for now, electric is not an option I can advise on. Mr Sharp rules out nitro based fuels, I suppose because of the difficulty of transporting it. That leaves petrol.
The smallest petrol engine that you can just buy and put in a plane is around 30cc. You will need maybe one to one and a half litres of fuel, and batteries for the radio and FPV gear. For 6000 ft the aircraft needs to be somewhat overpowered.
The aircraft cannot be too light, like a cub, for when it is low on fuel in a 10 - 20 knot wind it would flit around like a leaf. So, intuitively, If I was doing this I would select some shoulder wing trainer in the 80 inch wingspan range with a non-symmetrical air foil, but I don't know the market well enough to recommend any particular one. Nor can I point to any website to show the success of the combination.
17cc gas engine available in UK. But conversion of smaller engines possible, and if extended duration, add a generator to keep batteries topped up. Live video also. Easier to see the field from the plane, than the plane from the field at high altitude. Stable airplane helps, and 3 axis stab also. Depends on what you want to achieve, and what the budget is. Attached, a 10 cc glow engine conversion to "heavy fuel" (ie kerosene) with integrally mounted generator. Used for a small military UAV called Buster produced by one of my old companies, Mission Technologies Inc. Depends on what you want to achieve, and what the budget is!
Parts of Arizona, US start off at 4K ft and go to 7K. 10-20 knots is a slight breeze compared to some of the gusts you can encounter. Flew in Korea at lower altitudes. Lost four 3.5 lb birds in 20 knot winds, even when they were weighted down with an extra pound of duct tape. Those winds will catch a wing and flip the plane and there is not much recovery from that. I recommended a heavier plane for that reason. What you want is a heavy body with just barely enough lift in the wings with tons of extra heft in the motor to power through windy conditions. Not the greatest set-up for loitering long term, but that is probably not what you want to do in the conditions you are talking about. You get a plane that can hold enough fuel (Mugin is the only one I know of...even if you have to beef up the gear and get some carbon rods) and you will be golden. Make sure flying weight is balanced to a science. Remember, once the wind catches a wing, you might as well set down the controls and watch the show, because that is when the gusts will come from all the directions that will keep you from recovering. Stab is a must!!!
Air Force Research Lab announced in May a $ 2.2 million award to Elbit and Lockheed Martin for a "Surge V" program. A single person operable 4 hour duration surveillance bird, capable of rough terrain landing, heights up to 25,000 ft, in winds up to 35 knots, temps below 30F, in sand, dust, fog, light rain and snow, high humidity.
Sounds like a job for a well trained and tough eagle!

Sr Alphonsus - the end of an era at Presentation, Clonmel
Sr. Alphonsus Walshe
Sr. Alphonsus Walshe who died on December 20th 2012 was a highly esteemed member of the Presentation Convent, Clonmel where she had been a dedicated and revered teacher for many years. As morning dawned on Thursday, December 20th, Sr. Alphonsus winged her way to Heaven peacefully, silently without even a sigh or a murmur. It was the end of an era.
Aged 88, Sr. Alphonsus was a native of Butlerstown, Co. Waterford one of eleven children, ten of whom predeceased her. She was a greatly loved by her family, her community and by all those students whose lives she touched.
On September 12th 1944 Sr. Alphonsus left her native Waterford and entered the Presentation Convent, Clonmel where she spent a very happy and prayerful life as a teacher of English, Mathematics, verse speaking, Choral Work and Religious Education in the Secondary School. Winning many "cups" with her debating teams, she engendered in her pupils a great love for the English Language and for Shakespearean drama and poetry.
Being spiritual director of the Legion of Mary she instilled in her group a great love for Mary, our Mother, and inspired in them a desire to imitate and follow her in their individual lives. Her love for the Blessed Sacrament was deep and profound and was an inspiration to all of us.
We hold you close within our hearts
And there you shall remain
To walk with us through out our lives
Until we meet again
So rest in peace dear loved one
And thanks for all you've done
We prey the God has given you
The crown you've truly won.
Go dtuga Dia suaimhneas siorai di agus leaba imeasc na Naomh uile.

Our home is a few streets back from the center of Duck and is so close to the beach! We just love the fact that we are on a small private street and only have to walk a few minutes to be at the ocean (300 yards to be exact). We are also so close to the sound and the sunsets at night are beautiful there! Our house is called Duck Soup and is one of the original homes in Duck. We have recently redecorated the cottage and it looks great with so many cute flairs! We've updated the feel but still kept it quaint! This house has an hot tub right off of the kitchen on a screened in porch. Our kids love it and so do the adults. We also have an outdoor shower for showering after a day at the beach. Remember that we are pet friendly and have a fenced yard for your special family member you don't want to leave behind! Our laundry room houses many bikes, boogie boards and more to make your stay as enjoyable as possible.
Duck Soup is great for families with kids as the kids can be upstairs in the loft watching movies and the adults can be downstairs watching what they'd like and fixing dinner! Upstairs are 2 bedrooms. One is the master with a king size bed. The master also has a private balcony where you can enjoy your coffee in the morning up in the trees! The 2nd bedroom has 2 sets of bunk beds. Both bedrooms share the upstairs bathroom in between the two rooms. Downstairs is the 3rd bedroom with a Queen bed and bath. Upstairs is a loft with a futon, Cable TV, DVD, VCR. Downstairs is the family room/dining room and kitchen. In the family room is the Cable TV, DVD and VCR. We have lots of movies to choose from as well as a few games to play!
Additionally, we have 4 adult and 3 kids bikes as well as chairs, umbrellas, coolers and bogie boards in the laundry room. Jump on those bikes and ride up to the quaint shops of Duck or rent a jet ski or kayak and enjoy the sound views. Duck has tennis courts galore and loads of unique shops and restaurants. You can drive down to the Wright Brothers Memorial or visit the aquarium or many of the lighthouses around. Lots to do, but Duck is the place to stay as it has the quietness you want while on vacation with the proximity to everything!

This VRBO partner has demonstrated and is committed to fast response times, the best rates, and a great guest experience.
Our family has loved this beach house. Our children are young and enjoy the hot tub right off of the kitchen as well as love having the beach right at the end of the street. We live relatively close and are able to enjoy our house in the off season.
Liz and Bruce Tuck purchased this house in 2005
Proximity to the beach- 300 yards away at the most! Private street with a fully stocked home- one of the landmarks at Duck. 'Duck Soup' is so close to the quaint village of Duck (less than 8/10 of a mile) with lots of shopping, restaurants, jet skis, boating, fishing options. The best in the Outer Banks!
Our cottage is pet friendly so you can have your precious 4 legged friend with you while you relax. You can walk to the beach and to the shops of Duck or take our bikes on the bike path and take in the sights of the Outer Banks. The sound and the ocean are minutes away!
This is my second stay in a Home Away property, and I continue to be impressed. Duck Soup was even better than the photos suggested, and the property was very clean and well-appointed. The beds were comfortable, the rooms spacious, the amenities plentiful. I needed to contact the housekeeper and the gentleman responsible for maintaining the hot tub, and these individuals were SO friendly, helpful and kind. The distance to the beach was very manageable. Being pet-friendly was a huge plus for us, as our lab usually travels with us. Overall, we are very pleased, and would definitely recommend staying at the Duck Souo property.
I've been coming to Duck in the summer for years and wanted to try a weekend in the winter. The location was PERFECT. We were very lucky with warm weather. A lot of the shops were still closed but we were able to use the bikes for a quiet morning ride for coffee. The peace and quiet was surreal. We can't wait to come back next year. Thank you!!
We book pet-friendly rentals in order to travel with our Police K9 - and Duck Soup fit the bill nicely. It was located in Duck - very near everything we needed - loved that it was a few hundred yards to the private beach access. Dogs are welcomed on the beach and we took full advantage of that. We booked off-season so the neighborhood was quiet and the atmosphere relaxed. The home is spacious with way more room than my wife and I needed. It was clean and comfortable. We booked here to be near a larger family reunion group so we didn't do much cooking since we ate meals at the other home - but this rental seemed to have everything you would need to enjoy staying in. We did use the enclosed hot tub - the cooler December temps made this a great asset. The owners responded quickly to our questions while we were there and were very accommodating. Overall, we would recommend Duck Soup for those traveling with their K9 companions. One of the best things about this rental was the enclosed yard. The home is near the busy road - yet still private due to the trees but having the fenced yard was a nice benefit and we took advantage of it. Overall, Duck Soup was a great pet-friendly place in a great location.
Fantastic place to stay! Checking in and out was super easy. House was very clean and cozy. Short walk to the beach. Went for Christmas with my 3 dogs and a friend. All in all the trip and accommodations were perfect for what I wanted. Thank you!!!
We enjoyed our stay. Everything was as the owner said it would be. Some minor glitches with the fridge and coffee pot, but no big deal.

Iain McInnes has delivered his cast-iron pledge.
'The money might as well be in a lead-lined vault,' said the Pompey chairman.
'It is ring fenced for ground development and that is all it will be used for and all it can be used for.
'You have my guarantee on that, you have my word.
'I am not aware of a clause that says the only thing you can do is develop a particular stand with this money, it basically just says ground improvements.'
Portsmouth Football Club is preparing to catch a seven-figure windfall following the Tesco go-ahead.
This week Britain's biggest supermarket chain staggeringly overstated forecast profits by £250m, prompting the suspension of four executives.
With impeccable timing, the government have granted planning permission for Point Estates Ltd to build on the Fratton end car park.
Pompey president and property developer Stuart Robinson is the figurehead of the company, who will lease the finished construction to Tesco.
As part of the agreement, the Blues will receive a 'substantial' amount from Point Estates but only when a deal with Tesco is signed off – a prospect Robinson has already told The News he remains confident of.
Considering Pompey have not owned the car park since it was divided up by Sacha Gaydamak on August 26, 2009, it is perceived as a bonus by those presently running the club.
The precise windfall figure is a fiercely-guarded secret at Fratton Park, labelled as commercially sensitive whenever the question is raised.
Regardless, the sum has been earmarked for ground improvements.
According to Pompey chairman McInnes, the North Stand and Milton end are the likely recipients of such an overhaul at the 116-year-old stadium.
A club board meeting scheduled for October 14 will now explore the development options.
Meanwhile, McInnes has also promised a larger scale debate among fans.
He said: 'When Point Estates and Tesco conclude their arrangements, the football club – as promised – will benefit significantly from the prerequisite agreement.
'It is a significant amount of money and very much the tip of the iceberg for what we need to develop the ground in the way most of us would like to see.
'It gives you a nice little chunk of money in the bank and anybody involved in trying to raise funds for a project will know having a chunk of your own money always makes it much easier to go out and raise other funds.
'There will be vigorous and, hopefully, visionary debate on the utilisation of those funds wherever possible but short of a referendum.
'Ideas and initiatives as they develop will be shared with the fans – as the owners and the most loyal supporters in existence.
'It is eternally difficult for people who are not involved at face level to fully comprehend just how complicated this whole club previously was in its structure, no matter how open we try to be about it.
'That piece of land hadn't been owned by this football club for a long, long time. There were lots of different names associated and other bits of land around the ground.
'I remember my first look at the ownership of Fratton Park and the surrounding areas.
'If you coloured in each representing a different owner we would run out of the rainbow!
'The reality of life is the council have stuck firmly by their plan, which basically said whatever happens there has got to be a benefit to the football club.
'Until now, I don't think many people have ever come up with a plan that would have benefitted the club.
'This is a bonus, you can't look at it any other way. But, in fairness, it is a bonus that has been worked for by both the club and the council, who should be given full credit for that – as indeed should the developer.
'Despite the most arduous and expensive land transactions with a backcloth of rumoured competitors who all turned out to be either phantom or self-publicists, Stuart Robinson stuck by his guns.
'We have still got to be sensible, there is a lot of money required to develop the football club these days and this is the start of a project which is going to be exciting.
'It's about being able to deliver commitments as opposed to breaking them and show when we say we'll do something, we actually mean it and deliver as promised.'
In addition to receiving a sum, Pompey will also be the recipients of several pieces of land.
That includes an area behind the North Stand, with a new car park to be built there as a matter of priority.
Once completed, Point Estates will then begin construction on the Fratton end car park it has allowed the club to continue using for the past year.
In the meantime, many have their own ideas on how to implement Fratton Park improvements.
McInnes added: 'It is fair to say we would all have slightly different opinions about perhaps where to start.
'Given the Milton end needs to be redeveloped anyway to get full usage, knocking it down and restructuring it maybe would be a small but affordable step to take.
'You could rebuild it with desirable corporate facilities and integrated boxes.
'A new North Stand is another option and, of course, the two needn't be mutually exclusive.
'However, any kind of major North Stand structure is obviously going to cost a lot of money, I wouldn't even venture a figure.
'We would need to raise significant funds and I think that can only be done with the help of additional partners.
'I believe we should be looking at a 28,500 stadium – or something like that – and the North Stand would be critical from an attendance factor.
'There is plenty to discuss – and I would be daft not to be excited!'

The fundamentals of extremism: the Christian right in America
New Boston Books, May 27, 2003 - Political Science - 287 pages
"The politics, educational policies, and social values perpetuated by Christian fundamentalists are exposed in this critical perspective on the religious rights role in American society. Statistics and studies of the movement are offered that provide insight into the causes and characteristics of fundamentalism and its effects on minority groups including women, children, African Americans, gays, and lesbians. Essays from a variety of authors consider the path to theocracy, the effect of the theology of inerrancy on politics, and the state of fundamentalism in the United States after the September 11, 2001, terrorist attacks."
