A week ago the Atlanta Thrashers were coming off a very successful road trip in which they went 3-1-1, earning 7 of a possible 10 points. Waiting for them… the Washington Capitals whose 10 points led the division, just one better than the Thrashers' nine.
One week, three games, 13 goals against and one Ilya Kovalchuk broken foot bone later, Atlanta is still stuck at nine…the Caps now have 18. Oh, and the Thrashers also have the Lightning's backsides to look at as Tampa Bays win over Ottawa puts them at 11 points.
That, my friends, is the definition of an un-good week.
Thursday night eerily resembled the previous two games in that the Thrashers fell behind early…then began to play well in a failed attempt to come from behind. Alex Ovechkin's pair of goals in the first period put his Caps up 2-0…a lead that became 3-0 at the 4:10 mark of the second.
Two of those goals came on the power play…Ovechkin opening up the scoring with a blast from the left while Jim Slater sat for hooking. Brendan Morrison's second period goal came while the rookie Evander Kane was spending time in the sin bin for the same infraction.
On that first goal, Marty Reasoner was pulled toward the middle when Mike Green had the puck. That little bit of space was all Alex needed and the puck was on…then off…his stick in a blink of an eye.
The Thrashers had a golden opportunity to tie the score at one around the middle of the first period when Slates…making his first start since opening night… broke through the Washington defense to go in one-on-one with Semyon Varlamov, but he was taken down from behind for a penalty shot.
Varlamov, however, was up to the task.
A short time later, Maxim Afinogenov put the puck in toward the net from the blueline but his shot was block. Nicklas Backstrom found Ovechkin breaking through the neutral zone…Afinogenov at the same time found himself on the ice.
Seconds later, Alex the Gr8 schooled Ondrej Pavelec to put Washington up by two.
After the Thrashers found themselves down by three goals in the second period…hey, haven't we seen this movie before?…they once again mounted this night's comeback bid. Atlanta began to get more chances later in that period and eventually outshot the visitors 13-8 in the middle frame. Unfortunately, Varlamov held strong and the Caps took their 3-0 advantage into the locker room after 40 minutes.
Zach Bogosian finally erased the goose egg from Atlanta's side of the scoreboard with a power play goal 83 seconds into the final period. Then Slava Kozlov fed Todd White through center ice and Whitey pulled his team within one with 2:23 left.
Coming from behind…down by one…143 second left…set for another edge-of-the-seat finish…
again, haven't we seen this movie before?
Yes…yes we have. And the end of this evening's feature would not differ from the previous two times.
Mike Knuble crinkled the twine on an empty-netter before Bogosian could add a little window dressing, scoring his second of the night, fourth of the season, as the final horn brought to an end the Thrashers third straight one-goal home loss.
Four straight counting the 2-1 shootout loss in Montreal last week.
Atlanta wound up out-shooting the Caps 20-11 during the third and 41-32 overall.
Opie stopped 28 of the 31 shots he faced and now possesses a .912 SV% and 2.82 GAA as his record falling to 3-3-1.
Evander Kane and Slava Kozlov each had 6 shots on goal for the Thrashers and Bogosian took 5.
Oh…and for what it's worth…Atlanta outscored Washington and San Jose 6-0 in the third period during the three-game home stand. Normally, a stat like that will equate to at least one win.
They now go on the road again…this time for only a pair of games in Ottawa and Montreal…before returning home again in one week. Let's hope it's a better week than this past one.
Looking To Watch The game With Fellow Thrashervillians?
The Thrashers Fan Club will be holding a viewing party at Twains in Decatur Saturday afternoon while the Thrashers are playing in Ottawa. It's a 2:00 start…so you'll able to be home in time to deal with the costume-clad tykes who will be perusing the neighborhood extorting candy and treats.
For next Saturday's game on Lonnnn-Gisland, our good friends at TJ's have invited us out again to watch Atlanta take on the New York Islanders. As usual, there will be prizes to raffle off, 15% off your food and drinks and a good time shall be had by all.
You may RSVP with Trixie or with an e-mail at email@example.com if you're planning on attending that night.
Oh and hey, if we're lucky, we might even be able to catch a glimpse of Buzilla as he'll be in attendance up in New York.
OK, Zilla…I wanna see a "Rawhide's Rowdies Rock at TJ's" sign up against the glass!
And Finally…
I watched game seven of last June's Stanley Cup Finals over a plate of hot wings with Jeff Schultz…can you guess which one?

Just read post debacle comments of alleged Coach John Petrino. Have absolutely no respect whatsoever for this mental misfit. This incompetent is not the one to lead Thrashers anywhere but the deep cellar! Another embarrassing humbling giveup choke job at Loseland. Slide now at four straight. No end in sight! Go Sens and Habs. Man it hurts bad to type that second one! A$$hole announcers truly nauseating. Turned off volume! ++STENDEC++

The've got to play SIXTY minutes. If they had played the first two periods the way they played the last one we probably would have had a different outcome. Defense wasn't getting back quick enough and they were gettin open shots. Pavs played ok but TO MANY hooking penalties. GOTTA PLAY THE FULL SIXTY. Keep slater on the ice. He hustles and that counts for something.

You can't spot a team 3 goals in this league and expect to compete. I had the good fortune to travel to Thrashedville the last two games to see them try. I am so sick of watching this team lose. There are no fans at the arena. ONE GATE open at the MAIN entrance? every other concession stand closed when the GR8 one is in town. Come on boys.
October 29th, 2009
11:50 pm
While I observe that the Thrashers played much better the 2nd 30 minutes, they certainly didn't lay down the first 30. The Caps scored on 2 powerplays and a breakaway. The Caps in no way dominated the first 30.
Some observations:
1. Slater could have given the Thrashers a real lift by scoring on the penalty shot. His attempt was poor.
2. In the first period there were at least 4 shots from the point that just missed the wide side. I foot farther in and the Thrashers have 4 goals.
3. In the second and third periods Kozlov had at least 4 shots from the slot. None went in. Before the match I'm totally down with Kozlov getting these shots.
4. Begosian got the second star for his 2 goals. He deserves a debit for Ovechkin's assist across the crease where Begosian's stick was supposed to be.
5. The thrashers played good enough to win. They could easily have had 7 or 8 goals.
6. Varlamov is either very good, very lucky or the 2nd coming of Nitimaki.
Apologies in advance for any names I misspelled.
October 29th, 2009
11:55 pm
One more thing:
On Ovechkin's first goal, I heard the stick on puck for the shot and then I distinctly heard a 2nd stick on puck. I assumed there was a deflection. What did the game announcers say?

Still betting we get 64 points this season… Two more road losses coming, this is bad and getting worse, sorry to say, we can ALL see it
and the sad facts are we the paying fans can do nothing while STUPID
don waddell leads the team to how many losing seasons now "don " ?
Guess he has run out of plans, but one sure thing don waddell has all but destroyed NHL hockey in this town and there is no way to fire him, so enjoy the results everyone… You are looking at the work of a Career Loser, don waddell's so called "finest" team yet, yeah and I have a billion in the bank to "don".
For the sake of the franchise RESIGN !

The first goal by Ovy did indeed deflect in high over the pad off of Hainsey's stick…of course! When u don't work hard and fight deep in the corners, u don't get the lucky bounces, favorable deflections or puck luck. U need to skate hard for 60 freakin minutes!!
Cheese and stick god damn rice!!

The team played an incredible third period, and the last half of the second period was wonderful.
It's too bad they looked like crap the first 30 minutes.
Can't this team give us 60 minutes of good play on a consistent basis?

How many people actually PAY for Thrasher tix? Don't they give away something like 4,000 freebies a night? You'd never see the Edmonton Oilers do anything like that.
Seriously- how long does it take to "build" a fanbase? 10 years? 15 years…?
Absurd. Thrashers get closer to relocating to Winnipeg every single day…

UN-Good week? How about an un-good 10 years. As an avid hockey fan for 35 years I can't believe I have no interest in supporting my local team. Cryin shame.

While we are all disappointed with the loss, the Caps were one game away from playing for The Cup….
It was a much better effort from the Home Team vs. the last match…and OP (please do not insult him by using the spelling from Mayberry!) played extremely well…well enough to put the team in a position to win at the end….anybody but me notice that OP's save percentage is actually HIGHER than Varlamov's…by over .040?
The prob last night seemed to be leadership…and intensity in the first two periods. Bogo and Kane seemed to be taking on leadership roles…and these guys are teenagers! Some of the vets need to have some spark!
It's a long season…and remember, before the season began, if someone would have told all you Thrasher Bashers that they would be .500 going in to November…with one goal losses to the Caps and Sharks…you would have been excited! Remember the Detroit debacle last spring? Yet, they lose a couple…to potential Cup finalists…and the team is terrible…
As for the crowd…where do most of the hockey fans live? Not down around Centennial Olympic Park…let's face it, the Arena is in the wrong location because of politics….local TV does not support the team either…
You Thrasher Bashers are exactly the type of sports fan that resides in the ATL….one that bashes the Manager of the Braves that wins 14 straight pennants and the Head Coach of UGA who has won more SEC Championships in his first 8 years than any other UGA Coach….this team deserves better support…from everyone…or they will be gone!

On the 1st Gr8 one's goal, 22 deflected it in….

When we were winning, our PK was top-ranked in the league. I don't know where we rank now, but I'm sure we're back in the middle of the pack, at best. Why? We still seem to play aggressively. We're using the same players. Maybe JA got lax practicing our special teams.
At least we're going back on the road. Maybe that will shake things up.
October 30th, 2009
7:38 am
We are all disappointed with the loss because the THRASHERS have never been one goal away from playing for the cup. I would not have been excited about the prospect of a .500 record and a couple of close one goal losses nor am I happy with it now. You don't get points for effort in this league and you don't make the playoffs with a .500 record. I promise you the team isn't happy with it.
And you're missing the point if you think it is "thrasher bashing". Actually, it is the point you were trying to make, this could be it for hockey in Atlanta. Attendance is awful, rumors swirl about this team moving (I for one don't believe DW), ownership is a joke and Kovy isn't signed yet.
It isn't bashing, consider it tough love. I wear my heart and support for this team on my sleeve. There are no casual fans on this board. That's the problem, there are no casual fans. The time is now for this team.

60 minutes. They gotta play 60 minutes! The 1st 6 games they gave us 60 minutes. The last couple of weeks, 20 minutes per game. Not gonna do it!
October 30th, 2009
8:22 am
Attendance is getting downright scary. Won't be long before Balsillie starts sniffing around this franchise. Arena hasn't been the same since the disappearance of RabidFan-whatever became of him?
During the winning streak the Thrashers were winning the little races to the puck especially along the boards-not any more.
All Caps goals were scored by wide open players-can't allow Ovy to lurk on their PP. Breakaways on blocked shots are going to happen, but H_H was right on about ZBo: it's a D's responsibility to cover his man, and his shooting and passing lanes. Costly breakdown.
October 30th, 2009
8:31 am
If being behind by THREE goals is not being dominated what is? The object is not to be behind at the end, see? 8 penalties for us and six for Wash. Who's fault is that? It's that type of thinking that keeps us as a losing team. The idea is to win not lose well!
October 30th, 2009
9:17 am
In order to improve the start of each game, the Thrashers should hold a b-slapping contest on each other so they'll be awake when they hit the ice.
October 30th, 2009
9:29 am
I talked to Rabid Fan's wife last night. They were at the game. She said they did not buy season tickets this year because they not only drive from Athens, but it is too much now that their son is no longer a baby. I checked the attendance on the stat sheet. If there were 12,000 plus fans there as the stat sheet indicated, then my name is Alex Ovechkin. The attendance was sad. Not much to cheer about again. After you have watched 3 games in a row with the same result, it isn't much fun. I really hope we win the 2 road games to get some excitement going again.
October 30th, 2009
9:46 am
Clear from watching tonights game that the Caps won because of Varalamov; he was the difference. Also clear is that Slater because of his speed should be playing.
October 30th, 2009
9:57 am
Rawhide Exactly. When we were killing penalties at an 88% efficiency, we were winning. The last 2 games were 55% and we know how well that worked out for us.
Slater on the penalty shot. Whisky-Tango-Foxtrot. Slater with a hockey stick is like the Braves wearing gloves. They've got them, but they're not sure what they're used for. I'd rather have seen ANYONE else take the shot. And I still say that they should change the rules. If you fail at a penalty shot, you should still get a 2 minute PP.
October 30th, 2009
10:01 am
I don't this team is as good as it's 4-1 start folks, or as bad as it's 0-3-1 current streak. It's an 82 game season folks, please settle down. One week ago you all were preaching world peace…this week the world is going to end. Reading this blog is like dating a schizophrenic…
October 30th, 2009
10:02 am
Long, long season folks. This is why we play 82 games. Great start & we've hit some bumps now. Nothing we cannot work through. I have some confidence we will go 2-0 on this road trip. We seem to focus a bit more on the road. We've got some injuries, it happens. Lets go Thrashers!!! I don't worry about the attendence, wierd week, halloween, school night, world series (lol, trying to make excuses here!!!).
On the up side, the Sabres look GREAT!!!!!!!
October 30th, 2009
10:20 am
Another disappointing loss, but I can see we have some fight. This team is loaded with talent, but I'd like to see more player leadership. Captain Kovy can't do it all, especially when injured.
I'll be out of town for the upcoming viewing party, but can't wait to see you all there again. Win or lose, it's nice to have good folks to commiserate with.
October 30th, 2009
11:02 am
This was my first game in person. They looked horrible in the 1st two periods, just awful. I had a feeling they'd come back in the 3rd, but they looked very outclassed by the Caps, we can't compete with them over the course of the year.
Max, Max, Max. He's a liability.
What the heck is with the cost cutting at the arena? One gate open with one ticket taker at each entrance? Food was awful. It felt like a morgue in there, no atmosphere.

Amen MashaPlayer7. As a fan I'm disappointed in the current streak…but with all things in sports..this too is just a phase that will end. As a fan I'm supporting my team. That includes the ENTIRE team, from Don Waddell down.
Stendec – if it's so bad…why do you waste your time watching the games or commenting here but to troll and flame? Dude….either say SOMETHING positive when you post or just shut up, I think I speak for the entire class when I say…we're sick of it
Believe in Blueland!!
October 30th, 2009
11:31 am
Although I am entirely frustrated by the last 4 games, we have to remember that these are a couple of elite teams in the NHL and we can't really expect our penalty kill to remain at 88% against all those weapons. Somehow, we need to make our chances count and we need that big save by Pavs or Moose early on to gain the team some confidence. What if Slater made the penalty shot count (I wasn't counting on it) and Pavs had somehow stopped Ovechkin's breakaway? It's a different
feel and story in the game. The outcome could have been the same, but the feel of the game would have been different.
I know one thing. Anderson needs to have a one-on-one conversation with Mad Max. Last night, he did not help this team out. He doesn't hit anyone in the defensive zone and his wheeling and dealing with no plan directly led to Ovechkin's breakaway. I was not happy with his play at all. He also took a lazy hooking penalty that wasn't needed that led to one of the Caps' PP goals.
On the positive side, Bogo, Kane, Kubina, Hainsey and Peverly continue to impress and it looks like maybe, just maybe, Todd White is getting something going finally. I think Little is due soon…he has hit a couple of crossbars and been robbed by goaltending too the last couple of games. Patience.
Despite the slow start last night, it was the Caps goaltender who was the difference. We applied some serious pressure the 2nd half of the game and I couldn't believe how many stops he made.
I believe we will come away with at least 3 points in the next 2 games. For some reason, this team seems to play better on the road. Probably has to do with playing in a half-empty building. I was there last night as well and I had two friends from out of town and they couldn't believe how few people were in the stands when the one of the best players in the league was in town. It was embarrassing but I understand the fan base. I mean, we have lost 4 in a row. We need some points soon.
October 30th, 2009
11:32 am
Without Kovalchuk, this team has no chance against elite teams. If the Thrashers had given it their all for 60 minutes, guess what? They would have still lost. They simply don't have to talent of the Pens, Capitals, etc.
Sad but true.
October 30th, 2009
11:38 am
Yeah, We need points. Yeah, We have to win a games. I heard that every season. Today I read some Russians newspaper and they were so happy that Ovi score two goals. Also they are happy that Atlanta is going down and KHL has a chanse to talk with Kovi about his contract. That is very ungood situation for Atlanta Hockey.
October 30th, 2009
11:39 am
Buzz – I'm going to have to disagree with you on that one. If you look at how we've played in the third period of each of the last 4 losses, we outplayed our opponents. We out shot our opponents, the difference in each game has been that we started too late and we allowed the other team too much of a lead before we decided to put our foot on the gas.
We showed last night in the 3rd period once again, that we can play with the "Elite" teams in this league and win..we just can't give them a head start which is what we've been doing. This team has a ton of talent on it..some of that talent hasn't gotten started yet this year (Kozzy, Little) some is sidelined (Kovy) and some is on fire (Kane, Bogo, Pevs) if we can get all of them hitting on all cylinders we're gonna be a real tough team to beat
October 30th, 2009
11:45 am
Buzz is 100% correct… brad is another STUPID canada punk who can only say move the team. Who in the HELL would want to live in winnipeg, been there, never want to return, talk about the middle of NOWHERE, like most of canada… So go BLOW brad you $UCK with your comments.

12:12 pm
Daculafan – I respect your opinion, but after the Capitals got a good lead, they laid back a bit, Semin and Backstrom (top line) played 16 minutes compared to 19 mins to our top line.
I think the reason we "came back" is because the Capitals went into a shell and tried to protect a lead, rest some players, etc. If they had gone at us full bore we'd have lost 6-2. The last goal was nice, but do you think it would have been scored if the Capitals had only a 1 goal lead? I don't.
October 30th, 2009
12:14 pm
Think about it this way, most of us would be HAPPY to get the 8th seed. BUT, then we'd get the honor of playing the Penguins.
And we'd get swept again in the playoffs. Does anyone here think the Thrashers have a chance at beating the Penguins or Capitals in a 7-game series? Really. Be honest. I love the Thrashers, attend every home game, etc., but let's be real.
October 30th, 2009
12:34 pm
What the heck is with the cost cutting at the arena? One gate open with one ticket taker at each entrance? Food was awful. It felt like a morgue in there, no atmosphere.
I don't know about the food (ate at the CNN center, food was fine in there), but I did notice the lack of any personnel at the gates. It felt very empty there, and I'm really not sure why. I'm thinking the fans are very fickle at this point, having watched the Thrashers hit a then-three-game skid. We're down Kovalchuk, also, and he's a main selling point for the team.
As for the crowd…where do most of the hockey fans live?
This much doesn't matter. The point of you asking this question is a way of saying the arena needs to be moved north.
Pretty selfish, really.
I live on the south side, as do thousands of other hockey fans in the Atlanta area. I have a hard enough time making it to games as it is.
You want a full house, you need to build a winner, not a new ice box in Alpharetta.
October 30th, 2009
12:57 pm
This team is going nowhere fast. Kovalchuk should have been traded when the team could have maximized the return, but the delusional GM seems to think he's the entire purpose of having a team here. Kovalchuk is NOT the solution to this team's problems; he's just the biggest problem they have — once again.
This team needs to be sold if there's any chance of its survival here as anything other than a perennial doormat. Unfortunately, the ownership structure and their portfolio approach with Rink-Hawks-Thrashers seems to be preventing that.
Brace yourselves; things are going to get a lot worse.
October 30th, 2009
1:23 pm
Lol, everyone was JACKED up when Max signed. World be free and myself have said ALL ALONG, the dude is a turnover machine and a liability.
After the sabres game everyone was really, really happy with Max, not so much now? Expect more of the play we saw last night. This is why he was in lindys dog house for YEARS. this is also the reason no other teams came knocking for max.
October 30th, 2009
1:24 pm
Kovalchuk may have his flaws and forgets to play defense from time to time, but he is a game changer…a dynamic momentum shifter that is very rare in the game. There are 29 other NHL GM's who would agree.
The bigger problem is the assembly of finesse players around him. We have about 5 of the same type of medium-sized, finesse, skill player: White, Kozlov, Peverley, Little and now Mad Max (although his speed and recklessness puts him in a different class of his own).
Antropov may be big, but he plays a bit soft because his game is predicated on shielding the puck, using his long reach and making pretty passes. Kovy can play physical, but realizes he's too valuable at scoring goals to play on the edge too often. Reasoner could be more physical, but has to pick his spots due to his age and slowing wheels.
That leaves Kane and Armstrong to set the tone and make things happen in the corners and along the boards. That is about 3 too few. White and Little try, but they just can't get it done consistently against the elite players in the league. Kane will be an incredible player by the time he is 20, perhaps even by the end of this year if his body holds up. But who is else is going to step up and do more of the heavy lifting?
Slater can be a guy that can spark you, but he'll never be more than a 4th line grinder. Thorburn is skating better and is showing a more determined will in the corners and on the forecheck, but playing with Boulton and Slater is not going to give you many good chances to score. The gods are what they are…mere mortals and hard-workers who can change tempo.
We need to clone Armstrong and Kane and trade White, Max and a prospect to get us another banger who can score 20 goals and perhaps a more polished 3rd pairing D-man who won't take unnecessary chances like Salmela and Popovic tend to do. Not really sure if I see how they are any better than Oystrick. Hopefully Postma will be that guy next season.
If things really go south over the next 4 weeks, I'm almost tempted to say we should sign Chelios to a deal for the rest of the year to see if he can a) solidify the 3rd pairing DEFENSIVELY and b) continue the mentoring and on-ice coaching of our stud-in-training Zach Bogosian. My God is this kid special…once he learns to pick his spots and stops getting himself into the occasional pickle, he will be lethal.
October 30th, 2009
1:33 pm
Lol, everyone was JACKED up when Max signed.
Might wanna go back and read some of the other comments. Back from around the time he was brought in on a tryout basis.
I assure you, "everyone" was not "jacked up."
October 30th, 2009
1:36 pm
Smoothie – You just described why the Atlanta Flames were a successful team. Tough players like Lysiak, Plett, Vail combined with finesse players like Jacques Richard and Guy Chouinard. It's called a balanced team.
I would remove Peverley from your group of softies though.
October 30th, 2009
1:57 pm
I'm a lifelong Caps fan, and I know how frustrating losing can be. I'll only say that last nights' (Thurs.) game was one in which the Caps looked like they were hitting on all cylinders, particularly in the first period. Ovie scored on a power play- normal; Ovie scored on a breakaway- normal. However, your team hung-in, and didn't come close to quitting. When a team gives-up, then you have a real problem. It's too early to hit the panic button; what your team needs now is support- go to a game and quit whining.
October 30th, 2009
1:58 pm
Stroz – very true…wish I had had the privilege of watching some of the old time Flames play…sounds like they were gamers!
I wasn't trying to infer that Peverley was soft, but you have to admit, we need his finesse and skill more than we need his checking and hitting. He can play the more physical style, but I think it hurts his offense if he has to do it too much.
I think I wrote here a half dozen times it was time to trade White during the off-season when his value had never been higher. Perhaps we could have parlayed him into a more grinding, physical net crasher by trading with a team that needed more finesse scoring (like a Columbus for instance). Wouldn't it be nice to have an RJ Umberger or a Dustin Penner type to help balance our lines?
October 30th, 2009
3:08 pm
This is the beginning of the end…
October 30th, 2009
3:41 pm
Wouldn't it be nice to have an RJ Umberger or a Dustin Penner type to help balance our lines?
Smoothie – I was actually hoping for Penner as he was much maligned in Edmonton. At this point, knowing Quinn's style of play, Quinn wouldn't trade Penner for White, even with the salary cap relief. Quinn likes grit, he was the captain of the Atlanta Flames.

The Vanderburgh Humane Society will be holding its annual Diamonds in the Ruff benefit dinner and auction on Saturday, April 27.
It's the 18th annual event which auctions off everything from trips, jewelry, and artwork to sports memorabilia and merchandise.
The items are all donated from local merchants and the general public. On Thursday, employees from WOW! volunteered by filling event packets and helping to load the items on trucks.
The VHS says the goal is to raise $70,000.
"More and more families are coming in and they want to adopt an animal, but they can't pay a high adoption fee and they still want all the things done or maybe they need to use our services in the clinic or maybe they're taking advantage of our food bank," says Kendall Paul.
The dinner and auction will take place at the Holiday Inn-Airport Motel.

A band at Inman Middle School is expressing their appreciation for the art of jazz. Jazz is nothing like today's popular music, but the band members say jazz is not only the music they listen to, but it's the music that moves them.
The students credit their teacher, Arnessa Woods, for instilling their love of the music genre.Reading from sheet music by Miles Davis, the jazz band at Inman Middle School got into the groove. The hip cats weren't around when jazz was in its heyday."I love it. I just get in the zone, I guess," said 7th grade student Ebet Lansing.The band is a departure from the usual school band, and the kids say they wouldn't have it any other way."It's really fun to be able to learn about that era of jazz music," said 8th grade student Chase Kleber.Lansing says the music is fun and upbeat, and she likes it.The woman leading the inspired crew is Woods, who admits jazz wasn't exactly her first love."When I was growing up my dad would play it and I would go, ugh, why do we have to listen to that, but now I find myself just really into it," said Woods.Her students can tell. They say her love of the art form inspires them."She connects with you. She's really funny and makes class fun," said Lansing.Kleber says Woods is a type of teacher that provides hands-on learningWoods even jumps in a jam session every once in a while. It's her way of letting the kids know that hitting the perfect note is nice, but appreciating an art form is so much better."I want them to have that passion for listening and performing and playing. And take that, and later on their lives when they have kids, put that in their kids. I don't want them to let it go," Woods said.The band also has a commitment to service. Every year, they play at different Toys for Tots collection sites around the city.

Love It or Leave It? Bling Desk Accessories
by POPSUGAR Tech 62 Reactions 34 Shares Print
I'm not going to ignore the fact that most of you thought the rhinestone studded mouse and calculator looked really uncomfortable to use, because they totally did! But what about this desk accessory combo? Maybe if you switch the mouse for something a bit more user-friendly you could have a blingin' and functional workspace? Featured on Ubergizmo, these sparkly pink peripherals by La Chaise Longue also come in black with silver crystals. Pricing not available yet. What do you think? Maybe the perfect accessories for a proud owner of a Hello Kitty laptop?
Love It or Leave It

I actually got the mouse for Christmas last night and absolutely love it! I found this page because I was 'googling' where to get the rest of the set. Work can be boring and tedious-these office supplies make it a little less so. The mouse is super confortable to hold, you can't even tell the difference, and the stones are glued on so well that I'd have to try really hard to get one to break off. I say "LOVE IT"!!!
lyllek21 4 years
It doesn't matter if you do or don't like this desk set. You can't buy it anywhere in the Unites States. The only places you can purchase any of these items are online and they are either based in Australia or China. And if you do try to purchase any of the items which are usually around $20 to $40 dollars, the shipping and handling is ridiculously high at either 140, 160, and it goes higher and higher. And then the shipping days were at 50+ higher. I'm just agitated that I see all these cute and unique office supplies and I can't even purchase one item. It's not like I want the whole set, just maybe the mouse or stapler. So I really don't know why these bloggers and websites are advertising the products when clearly you can't even buy them. It's a waste of time and it really make the consumer-me- mad that I even wasted my time trying to find the products. So I guess I'm stuck with the boring black and grey office supplies from Office Max.

Blech, absolutely horrid. Please spare me from this "Bling Bling" crap that's been going around. Seriously, who in their right mind would want to mess up everything they touch by covering it in sticky little fake rhinestone studs? A cellphone I can understand, but a mouse? A calculator/mousepad? A stapler? A tape dispenser? There's no need for these, a computer's accessories should match the computer somewhat. If you have an old beige tower, you probably have a beige monitor/mouse/keyboard to match. If you have a black laptop, get some black accessories. If you have a silver laptop with a black keyboard, go for the silver and black look. Like geek said, the only thing these'll match is that hideous Hello Kitty laptop.

It is the most dramatic and tumultuous period in Argentina's history. Colonel Juan Perón, who had been the most powerful and the most hated man in the country, has been forced out of power. Many people fear that his mistress, radio actress Evita Duarte, will use her skill at swaying the masses to restore him to office. When an obscure young woman is brutally murdered, police detective Roberto Leary concludes that the murderer mistook the girl for Evita, the intended target of someone out to eliminate the popular star from the political scene.
The search for the killer soon involves the murdered girl's employer, who is Evita's dressmaker; her journalist lover; and Pilar, a seamstress in the dress shop and a tango dancer. The suspects include a leftist union leader who considers Juan Perón a fascist and a young lieutenant who feels Perón has dishonored the army. Their stories collide in this thrilling and sensuous historical mystery.
Annamaria Alfieri's historical mysteries set in South America paint a vivid portrait of life at the time, in which the characters' motivations—love, fear, and ambition—all compete to create an evocative tale. Blood Tango is her finest achievement yet.
"This ambitious novel doesn't romanticize its historical figures. As Evita might have wanted, the common people are its stars."—The Boston Globe
"Alfieri's novels are packed with political intrigue, religious dogma, stupefying mystery, and passionate romance....Mystery fans need to discover the novels of Annamaria Alfieri....She has a talent for taking real people and placing them into fast-paced mysteries that are intriguing and controversial."—Gumshoe Review
"This inventive South American noir reimagines the colorful relationship between Argentinean president Juan Peron and his wife Eva, caught up in a brutal murder mystery amid the tumultuous political scene of 1940s Buenos Aires."—The Christian Science Monitor
"Alfieri's atmospheric third stand-alone historical with a South American setting...Alfieri (Invisible Country) once again convincingly evokes another time and place."—Publishers Weekly
"With a spectacular cast of characters who cover the wide spectrum of Argentine politics in the Perón era, Annamaria Alfieri fashions a sly mystery around the most intriguing figure of them all, Eva. Alluring and sophisticated, with enough twists and turns to bring readers into nearly every corner of Buenos Aires, Blood Tango is a single-sitting read, full of startling revelations and clever plotting."—Manuel Muñoz, PEN/O. Henry and Whiting Writers' Award-winning author of What You See in the Dark
"A compelling mystery and a passionate and empathetic portrayal of the endlessly fascinating Evita Perón combine in a gripping tale that brings 1945 Buenos Aires fully alive."—Carolyn Hart, author of What the Cat Saw

I'm so scared. Scared is all I've been able to feel all my life. It's almost as if, that's the only feeling I'm capable of holding. Although, I know this, in itself is not true. Way back when I used to be happy. It was so long ago though, that the feeling is faint and I almost wonder if it really happened.
So this is a story I've kind of been playing with. I'm not quite sure where I'm going with this but we'll just have to wait and see! ^__^ I hope you all enjoy it! Oh and this is an all human story! Enjoy!~~

South Cobb's Carlos Saldana sent the game into overtime with a 39-yard field goal with 23 seconds remaining and then won it with an extra point in the extra period to lead the Eagles to a 27-26 victory Friday over sixth-ranked North Cobb.
South Cobb (5-0, 3-0) rallied from an early 14-0 deficit and overcame four turnovers that North Cobb turned into points to keep pace with McEachern at the top of the Region 4-AAAAAA standings.
North Cobb (4-1, 2-1) scored first in the overtime period on a 1-yard run by quarterback Tyler Queen, but the Warriors missed on the extra-point attempt when Queen rolled out with a mishandled snap and threw an incomplete pass. South Cobb then got the ball for its possession and scored on the first play, a 15-yard run up the middle by quarterback Stephon Masha. Saldana's kick then completed the comeback.
With the score tied 17-17 in the fourth quarter, South Cobb appeared to be going in for the go-ahead score, but North Cobb's James King intercepted a pass in the end zone and returned it 79 yards to the South Cobb 21. Five plays later, A.J. Borduin kicked a 24-yard field goal to give North Cobb a 20-17 lead with 2:54 to play.
South Cobb drove from its 20 to the North Cobb 22 in the next two and a half minutes to set up the tying field goal. South Cobb originally lined up for a 44-yard attempt, but an offsides penalty on North Cobb moved the ball five yards closer.
South Cobb dominated on offense in regulation, outgaining the Warriors 431-189, but two fumbles led to two North Cobb touchdowns and two interceptions led to two Warriors field goals.
North Cobb took advantage of the fumbles to take a 14-0 lead less than five minutes into the game, but South Cobb quickly recovered. On the third play of the Eagles' next drive, Masha threw an 80-yard pass to Chauncey Ingram to cut the lead to 14-7 with 5:22 remaining in the first quarter. A 34-yard field goal by Saldana made it 14-10 heading into the second.
South Cobb controlled the second quarter, running 19 plays to the Warriors' 10 and outgaining North Cobb 89-14, but the only points came on Masha's 1-yard run with 18 seconds to play in the half, giving South Cobb a 17-14 lead.
North Cobb – 14-0-3-3-6 – 26
South Cobb – 10-7-0-3-7 – 27
N – J'Vonte Herrod 2 run (A.J. Borduin kick)
N – Xavier Borishade 31 pass from Tyler Queen (Borduin kick)

This is the 'umbrella' Progenitor Project that every South African male Progenitors (Stamvaders) should be added to first.
See list of countries in alphabetical order below for projects for particular countries or people!
See South African Progenitors - Matriarchs/Stammoeders
for definitions of Stam Moeders/Progenitors/Matriarchs
South African Progenitors
The intention of this project is to be a hub of information on the South African people who were Progenitors of today's South African population. The aim is to give information about all people involved in populating and colonising South Africa. It is all-embracing and aims to have no political influences or connotations.
To participate in any project......
...... you do need to first be a collaborator - so join the project. Look at the discussion Project Help: How to add Text to a Project - Starter Kit to get you going!
In order to join the project use the drop down menu at the top left of the screen and Join the Project. If this option is not available to you then contact a collaborator and ask to be added to the project. As a collaborator you will be able to edit this page.
How to Participate
- Please add the relevant profiles of Progenitors (not their entire family and descendants!) This is easily done from the profile page using the Add to project link.
- If you have any related queries please start a discussion linked to this project. (See the menu top right).
- Please add related projects to the menu on the right.
- If you have links to related web pages that would be of interest to others please add them in the relevant section at the bottom of the page.
- Add any documents of interest using the menu at the top right of the page, and then add a link to the document in the text under the heading below. If you do not know how to do this please contact one of the other collaborators to assist you.
How you can Help
Many of the SV/PROG profiles have been made "Master Profiles" but their biography section in the "About" field is often very disorganised - a mixture of links, excerpts, random pastes and the languages mixed up and "deuremekaar"!
It would be wonderful if we could tidy these up. These guidelines for the biographical notes can be adapted as suits, headings to be added or removed as applicable.
If you wish to help with this exercise please add your chosen profile to the discussion.
This project is a tribute to all the progenitors and their descendants who are more than bodies of data on a World Tree, but embody the Bantu principle of "Ubuntu" – I AM BECAUSE WE ARE.
The history of South Africa is full of dispute between the various people. There is a long history of wars and domination, and Reverend Bongani Finca expresses where we are today:
There is, in my view, a South Africa from which we have departed, a regime that we have conquered, an old order that is behind us. But there is a new South Africa that we have not entered. A new South Africa for which we continue to long, to yearn and to strive: the New Land of our dreams. And in between these two countries there is this time and place we are now – a land that is not the same as the land from which we departed in 1994, yet a land that is not yet the land of our dreams – a land between the two lands, a time between the two times.
Profile Guidelines
There are a few things that make a big difference to how the tree can be used and shared on Geni.
Please join the South Africa - Profile Guidelines project for up to date information and discussion on this important subject.
If you haven't yet visited the Geni Wiki pages please do so - there is also a lot of information and guidance there.
- Public/Private Profiles All living profiles should be marked Private. Profiles in the historical tree (i.e. born well before 1900) need to be PUBLIC. See this document for guidance on how to check your managed profiles.
- Please do not use modern day place names for events that took place when these names did not apply.
Go to our South African Genealogical Reference Centre for more information.

Ethnic Groups
The South African People can broadly be grouped into the following Ethic Groups:
Nguni (See also Kruger 2 Canyons Tribal History) Nguni
- Bamalete
- Ndebele (See extract below)
- Swazi
- Zulu (Fingo · Khumalo)
- amaXhosa The creation of the major political groupings of the southern Nguni area, the Xhosa, the Thembu,the Mpondo & the Mpondomise, resulted from the rise of particular descent groups, respectively, the Tshawe, Hala, Nyawazu & Majola to a position of dominance over their localities. The extension of their power was a slow process, beginning long before the more dramatic creation of the Zulu state in northern Nguniland, & continuing right up to the Colonial conquest. [Peires, JB.

A note on the Meaning of the word 'Progenitor', as distinct from 'Settler'
A PROGENITOR is the start of the bloodline in a country. (So this project collects all first fathers/mothers of a line that still has descendants in SA.) In the case of each family of settlers to SA, the progenitors are usually only the oldest father & mother. On the SA tree, this is indicated by the suffix PROG (Progenitor); SV (Stam Vader - Clan Father); or SM (Stam Moeder - Clan Mother)
SETTLER groups came in waves, usually from a point of origin that we can use as a useful name for a project: eg French Huguenots; or 1820 Settlers; or Nguni migration. But there will be settlers who come on their own, who don't fit easily into any big settler project.
So ALL PROGENITORS IN SA ARE SETTLERS (except for the tiny Koisan group, whose origins are so far back they were never 'immigrants' at any time we can identify - ie - they have 'always' been here as far back as history tells us), BUT NOT ALL SETTLERS ARE THE DESIGNATED 1ST PROGENITOR OF A FAMILY LINE.
Projects already in place researching specific groups of South Africans.
- 1820 British Settlers''' in South Africa
- French Huguenot Settlers
- Slaves
- South African Stamouers/Progenitors - a tribute to the descendants of the Stamvaders – those who settled at the Cape during the Dutch period under VOC administration from 1652 to 1795.

If you wish to start a project covering subject matter not yet being researched please do so, but please add links to these projects here and at The South African's Welcome & Overview of all SA Projects site so that subjects are not duplicated and interested users can follow and contribute to them.
Summary of the History of the South African People
South Africa has one of the longest sequences of human development in the world, and certainly this 'Cradle of Humankind' was home to some of the progenitors of the entire human race.
The following summary will help to place the origins of the above groups of people in the historical timeline of the settlement and colonisation of South Africa.
Around 500 BC
San groups acquired livestock from further north. As a result hunting and gathering gradually gave way to herding as they started tending small herds of cattle and oxen. These pastoralist San People became known as Khoikhoi ('men of men'), as opposed to the hunter-gatherer San People. The Colonialist Settlers referred to the San as Bushmen. When the two groups became intermarried the term Khoisan arose. The Khoikhoi established themselves along the coast and small groups of San inhabited the interior.
Around 400 AD
Around 2,500 years ago Bantu peoples started migrating across sub-Saharan Africa from the Niger River Delta.
The Bantu-speakers had started to make their way south and eastwards in about 1000 BC, reaching the present-day KwaZulu-Natal by 500 AD. These people had an advanced Iron Age Culture keeping domestic animals and practising agriculture. The Bantu-speakers arrived in South Africa in small waves rather than in one cohesive migration. Some groups, the ancestors of today's Nguni ( the Zulu, Xhosa, Swazi and Ndebele) preferred to live near the coast. Others, now known as the Sotho–Tswana peoples (Tswana, Pedi, and Basotho), settled in the Highveld, while today's Venda, Lemba, and Shangaan-Tsonga peoples made their homes in the north-eastern areas of South Africa
Between 900 and 1,300 AD.
Evidence from the remains of Iron Age cities of Bambandyanalo and Mapungubwe shows the rise and fall of the first indigenous kingdom in Southern Africa. Mapungubwe was a flourishing Iron Age city ruled by an African king almost a thousand years ago. The kingdom was the first stage in a development that culminated in the creation of the Kingdom of Zimbabwe in the 13th century. The people of the kingdom of Mapungubwe were highly sophisticated and traded gold and ivory with China, India and Egypt. The Mapungubwe Kingdom declined from 1240, and the centre of power and trade moved north to the Great Zimbabwe Kingdom".
Portuguese navigator Bartholomeu Dias is the first European to travel round the southern tip of Africa.
The first Europeans to arrive in the Cape were the Portuguese. The Cape was used as stopover on their trade routes but they had little interest in colonising the area, finding Mozambique more attractive.
A Dutch vessel was wrecked at the Cape. The crew built a fort and settled there until they were rescued a year later.
In 1652 the Dutch East India Company, also known as the VOC which stood for the Dutch ''Vereenigde Oostindische Compagnie'', established a permanent settlement at the Cape and sent an expedition (90± men) under the command of Jan van Riebeck to do this. Some of the men were released from their contracts to establish farms in the region. These men were known as free burghers who expanded their farms north and east of the Cape. The burghers were mainly Dutch but there were also Germans and '''Scandinavians''' amongst them.
The first slaves from Madagascar and Indonesia were imported to the region. This included he first Chinese to arrive at the Cape. The Chinese did not see the Cape as a worthwhile risk and so used the Cape more as a penal settlement for its unwanted criminals etc.
By the time van Riebeck left in 1662 there were about 250 white people living at what was a developing colony at the Cape.
In 1688 the French Huguenots arrived at the Cape, having fled religious persecution in France.
independent farmers called ''trekboers'' began to push north and east.
A census of the Cape reveals that its non-indigenous population comprises 510 colonists/settlers and 6 279 slaves.
1795 – 1806
The British seized the Cape, briefly relinquishing it back to the Dutch in 1803, and then finally conquering it in 1806.
In 1820 about 5000 middle class British people were persuaded to immigrate to the region. The intention was that these people would settle in tracts of land between the feuding groups, forming a buffer zone. This did not work, and within three years almost half of these 1820 Settlers had moved to towns where they could use their trades.
The British immigrants continued to arrive from this date onwards, populating areas east of the Cape and Natal.
In 1834 slavery was abolished.
The Boers started to Trek into the interior, taking with them large numbers of Khoikhoi and black servants. These were the Voertrekkers.
In the early part of the century, Shaka Zulu founded and expanded the Zulu empire, creating a formidable fighting force, resulting in an upheaval with large armies of impis led by Shaka Zulu's officers killing or enslaving those in their way. This resulted in people moving out of the way, resulting in displacement throughout the region.
Boers leave Cape Colony in the Great Trek and found the Orange Free State and the Transvaal.
Natal was annexed by the British in 1843, where they established sugar plantations, meeting enormous resistance from the powerful Zulu.
The British had hoped to use the Zulu for labour to work the sugar plantations in Natal, but few were willing. As a result Britain brought labour in from India, with SS Truro arriving in Durban harbour in 1860 with 300 people onboard. 150 000 more Indians arrived over the next 50 years, resulting in Natal (today KwaZulu-Natal) becoming one of the largest Indian communities outside Asia.
The discovery of diamonds at Kimberly and gold in the Transvaal led to an acceleration of immigration, with thousands of people seeking their fortune.

- Wikipedia Histroy of South Africa
- South Africa: Dutch colonialism, the destruction of the Khoekhoe and the rise of Chiefdoms (1652-1795)
"Although the origins of the South African Ndebele are shrouded in mystery, they have been identified as one of the Nguni tribes. The Nguni tribes represent nearly two thirds of South Africa's Black population and can be divided into four distinct groups; the Central Nguni (the Zulu-speaking peoples), the Southern Nguni (the Xhosa-speaking peoples), the Swazi people from Swaziland and adjacent areas and the Ndebele people of the Northern Province and Mpumalanga.
The two Ndebele groups were not only separated geographically but also by differences in their languages and cultures. The Ndebele of the Northern Province consisted mainly of the BagaLanga and the BagaSeleka tribes who, by and large, adopted the language and culture of their Sotho neighbours.
The North Ndebele people resided an area stretching from the town of Warmbaths in the south, to the Limpopo River in the north and from the Botswana border in the west to the Mozambique border in the east. However, they were mainly concentrated in the districts of Pietersburg, Bakenberg and Potgietersrus.
Mpumalanga, much of which consists of the area known as the Lowveld, stretches from the town of Piet Retief in the south to Lydenburg / Pilgrim's Rest in the north and from the towns of Witbank and Groblersdal in the west to the Mozambique border in the east. The Springbok Flats separated the North Ndebele and those in the east from one another.
The history of the Ndebele people can be traced back to Mafana, their first identifiable chief. Mafana's successor, Mhlanga, had a son named Musi who, in the early 1600's, decided to move away from his cousins (later to become the mighty Zulu nation) and to settle in the hills of Gauteng near where the capital, Pretoria is situated".
Hunter gatherers lived throughout Southern Africa long before white settlement at the Cape in 1652. The genetic origins of of the San, who were people of the later Stone Age, can be traced back to the beginning of modern humanity. They lived hunting game with bows and arrows, foraged for food. They formed kinship groups in territories right across the region - affected mainly by climate and the availability of food and water.
The arrival of the Bantu speaking people immigrants from 250 AD had quite an impact on San traditional life. The new people were agro-pastoralists who needed land to support their crops and cattle herds.
(to be continued)
"The San are the oldest inhabitants of Southern Africa, where they have lived for at least 20 000 years. The term San is commonly used to refer to a diverse group of hunter-gatherers living in Southern Africa who share historical and linguistic connections. The San were also referred to as Bushmen, but this term has since been abandoned as it is considered derogatory.
There are many different San groups - they have no collective name for themselves, and the terms 'Bushman', 'San', 'Basarwa' (in Botswana) are used. The term, 'bushman', came from the Dutch term, 'bossiesman', which meant 'bandit' or 'outlaw'.
This term was given to the San during their long battle against the colonists. The San interpreted this as a proud and respected reference to their brave fight for freedom from domination and colonization. Many now accept the terms Bushmen or San".

Not on Geni
"The Tsonga are a diverse people, generally including the Shangaan, Thonga, Tonga, and several smaller ethnic groups. Together they numbered about 1.5 million people in South Africa in the mid-1990s, with some 4.5 million individuals in southern Mozambique and Zimbabwe.
The first Tsonga-speakers to enter the former Transvaal probably did so during the 18th Century. They were essentially traders who followed rivers inland, where they bartered cloth and beads for ivory, copper and salt.
See also Sotho Kruger 2 Canyons Tribal History
Estimated at 7 million, these Sotho speakers are the second largest African language group in South Africa. Three million Sotho and other closely related groups live outside of South Africa, the majority of who are in Lesotho.
The Sotho can be subdivided into three groups. The first group is the Northern Sotho also called Pedi and Bapedi.
The Pedi society arose out of a confederation of small chiefdoms that had been established sometime before the 17th century in what later became the Northern Transvaal (Northern Province). Defeated early in the 19th century by the armies of Mzilikazi, they revived under the leadership of Sekwati. Thereafter, they repeatedly clashed with the Voortrekkers during the later half of the 19th century.
The Sotho people migrated southward from the Great Lakes in Central Africa about 5 centuries ago in successive waves and the last group, namely, the Hurutse, settled in the Western Transvaal towards the beginning of the 16th century".
"As with most of the other peoples of South Africa the Venda (VhaVenda) came from the Great Lakes of Central Africa. They first settled down in the Soutpansberg Mountains. Here they built their first capital, D'zata, the ruins of which can still be seen today.
Venda culture has an interesting mix of other cultures - it appears to have incorporated a variety of East African, Central African, Nguni, and Sotho characteristics. For example, the Venda forbid the consumption of pork, a prohibition that is common along the East African coast. They also practice male circumcision, which is common among many Sotho, but not among most Nguni peoples.
From 800AD, the Mapungubwe Kingdom emerged, stretching from the Soutpansberg in the south, across the Limpopo River to the Matopos in the north. The Mapungubwe Kingdom declined from 1240, and the centre of power and trade moved north to the Great Zimbabwe Kingdom".

"We are so happy with the way these invitations turned out for our son's baptism. They are simple and perfect for the occasion. The paper quality and overall look of them is fantastic. My family commented on how nice they look. I wouldn't change a thing and would recommend these to anyone looking for a quality baptism invitation."
"I didnt want anything too crazy. I wanted a simple classic look and this invite does it justice. I asked them to change it to blue but then went with aloe in the end bc it looked so much better. Aloe is perfect its like a light grayish green so classy. I do however wish you could put a time for the reception and a phone number to rsvp. I realize now I probably couldve called them to add but I am all about getting it done on the internet. So i wish they would add those optiona for you from the beginning."
"This card is perfect! It was so simple to create because everything is done for you. The colors work beautifully together too!"
"I ordered this invitation for my son's baptism because I wanted something simple and elegant. This was perfect. The color is a great alternative to blue. The paper quality is excellent. I'm very happy with this purchase."
"I am so happy I went with this card for my daughters baptism invitation. The design caught my eye as I was scrolling through the website. When it arrived I was so happy and surprised with the quality of the card. As people are RSVPing they are also complimenting me on the invitation. I can't wait to order my matching thank you cards."

Loredas, 22nd of Morning Star:
I have never met a man who could make a bubbling pot of stew look less domestic. I don't know if it's the armor and the greatsword, or the little smirk, or the fact that when I walk in the door he ignores it completely, sends the housecarl downstairs, and drags me for the bedroom and lets the stew burn, but.
What was I saying?
Right. Something about Farkas. And his face. And he's laughing because I keep looking up at him and kind of staring while I write this.
"Good things today, huh?"
"How would you know?"
"You're biting the side of your lip. You only do that when you're about t—"
"Yes, thank you."
Skyrim is awful. But he's… not. And no matter how restless the Eldergleam made me feel, I can't resent being here if he's nearby.
Later that Day:
Mentioned to Delvin that I was headed up to Windhelm to help a friend, and he nearly went into raptures.
"Good! There's a rival guild up there giving us a bad name. Why don't you help them out, too?"
"We looking into business in Windhelm?"
"That we are."
"Hmm. Looks like it's time to take Ulfric up on his offer to have me as a Thane."
"…You downright terrify me sometimes. Just so we're clear."
Farkas isn't happy I'm leaving so soon after coming back, but he can't come along. "Waiting for a Khajiit caravan to come by. They've got a few things I want for the store."
"Well, I'll make it a fast trip."
"At least you told me you were leaving this time."
Note to self: Inform spouse of location in future.

"Awesome smoke!"
All I can say is it only took about half a cigar to know this would be a favorite. Rich, rich full body flavor. Started well and even ended great, right down to finger burning length. Burn, draw price, and just about everythin about this cigar is GREAT! Thanks you Famous sales rep for asking me to try a sample pack. Just had to order a bundle after trying these.Ken in Arkansas July 17, 2011
"Wonderfull flavor, could'nt pit it down."
Got one in a sample pack. Nice and tastey, not overwelming. Matches the description very well. Leaves a nice creamy moka after taste with a hint of spice. I'm a fan of Nicaragan's but have been finding more and more Hondurans that I like, thank you Famous Sample packs. I liked this cigar so much, no I did'nt buy the factory, but ordered a 25 cigar bundle.Terry in North Haven, CT June 23, 2011
"Great cigar - don't let the silly band fool you"
I received this cigar in a maduro sampler. Had to laugh when I saw the cheesy karate band on the cigar, but was blown away when I lit it. Very good cigar with complex flavors of chocolate, espresso, touch of leather. Very delicious with a little Gentleman Jack. Smoked this cigar down to the nub and kept trying to get that last puff in before putting it out. My wife even said this cigar smoke smelled very good and she usually doesn't like the smell of most cigars.Kraig in Sonora, CA August 5, 2010
"A tasty mix of maduro and corojo tobaccos"
The combination of the brazilian Mata Fina, Costa Rican corojo binder, criollo fillers from Nicaragua and Honduras, and Mexican tobacco worked really well for the recently resurrected 7-20-4 brand. It works well in this one too. The sweetness of the maduro wrapper combined with the complex flavors of the corojo tobaccos gives you a relaxing yet entertaining experience. The wrapper feels velvety on your fingers, and a pleasure to behold. The stogie gives off plenty of smoke. I only had it a couple of weeks in my humi, wonder what a few months are going to do to it... Try it, you won't be disappointed.Victor in New England August 3, 2010
"Had me at the first puff"
Been a cigar smoker for a long time and this is a very good cigar. Not many cigars can wow you within the first few minutes but this one....winner!Gary in Atlanta July 28, 2010
"Velvety Smooth Semi-sweet Chocolate and Espresso"
In a word... Delicious. As a newcomer to cigars, I have been trying out all the big hitters based on Cigar Afficianado's "Top 25 Cigars of [Year]" lists, a few winners that have come with the Famous Smoke Shop "Best Of" samplers I have ordered, and others that just catch my interest, probably from good marketing. Some of my favorites already include Oliva Series V, My Father No. 1, Cohiba Extra Vigoroso, Cohiba Puro Dominicana, Liga Priva No. 9, and Casa Magna, to name a few. Capoeira, hands down, it my favorite so far. Its flavor develops from the first few puffs. It does not take a while to get going like some of the others I have tried. Now, I am not an experienced cigar smoker, but this is velvety smooth from the get go, and the taste of semi-sweet dark chocolate and espresso is rich and not at all overwhelming. Perhaps creamy is also a good word. Construction is not too bad. The cap unraveled a bit on the first one I smoked, and it seems a bit thinner than the caps on some of the others cigars I have already mentioned. Draw is just a little tight, but nothing unmanageable. Appearance is right on par with taste. Velvety smooth, sem-sweet dark chocolate and espresso througout. Perhaps dessert cigar is an apt description? The burn is uneven at times, but not incredibly so, and it tends to even back out. White ash and a lot of thick whitish smoke. I am definitely buying a box of these before long. The sampler is not going to last me long at all. Highly recommended.David C in Georgia June 1, 2010
