Luis Suarez's superb free-kick helped Liverpool bounce back from consecutive away defeats with a 2-0 Barclays Premier League triumph over Hull City at Anfield.
The Merseyside outfit had slipped to fifth in the table with losses at title rivals Manchester City and Chelsea, but returned to winning ways by avenging their 3-1 loss to Steve Bruce's men in the reverse fixture last month.
Liverpool created the better openings of the first half and moved ahead on 36 minutes when Philippe Coutinho's corner was met by the head of stand-in captain Daniel Agger.
Suarez doubled the lead on 50 minutes to notch his 20th Barclays Premier League goal of the season with an unstoppable bending free-kick, joining Fernando Torres as only the second Liverpool player to score in eight consecutive Premier League home matches.
Brendan Rodgers' side pushed for a third as the game neared its conclusion but the scoreline remained at 2-0 as the hosts climbed to fourth, while Hull City stay 10th.
Liverpool skipper Steven Gerrard returned to the bench after a four match lay-off with a hamstring problem, while Iago Aspas and Aly Cissokho replaced injured duo Joe Allen and Mamadou Sakho. Hull brought in Alex Bruce and David Meyler for Liam Rosenior and George Boyd.
The two sides exchanged speculative efforts in the early stages with Yannick Sagbo's half-volley and Suarez's inventive chip.
Suarez thought he had put the hosts ahead on 19 minutes when he headed home Coutinho's free-kick but the Uruguayan was ruled to be offisde.
Raheem Sterling then had a great chance to break the deadlock for the hosts when he broke clear of the Hull defence on the left only to shoot at Allan McGregor.
Liverpool's pressure told with nine minutes remaining in the half, though, as Agger leapt highest to head home Coutinho's corner.
Jordan Henderson then side-footed wide for the hosts from the edge of the box following a superb passage of play, before Coutinho placed an effort wide of the near post after collecting Henderson's intelligent pass.
Shortly after the break the home side did add a second. Suarez was fouled by James Chester and picked himself up to curl home a sublime free-kick from 25 yards, becoming the first Liverpool player to reach the 20-goal landmark in consecutive League campaigns since Robbie Fowler in 1994-95 and 1995-96 in the process.
Gerrard entered play shortly after the hour mark to a standing ovation and dragged an effort wide with 15 minutes remaining, while Coutinho twice went close from distance.
In the closing stages Suarez had another goal disallowed when side-footed home from Kolo Toure's centre but the ball had gone out of play before the defender crossed.
Coutinho then almost had the final say in injury time as he forced McGregor into a stop from close range after a brilliant solo run, but Liverpool were made to settle for a two-goal winning margin.
Liverpool manager Brendan Rodgers: "I think it was our best win of the season. A lot of the games we've been vibrant, with great energy and scored goals but on the back of the games we've had over this period and to play with a lot of the same players against a team who won their last game 6-0, we knew we were going to have to tough it out today and dig in.
"We might not have been at our best but we scored two great goals and created other opportunities and I'm pleased because it was a great victory for us. It was very much a team effort today. It was a great header from Daniel Agger and that set us off.
"We worked tirelessly today to stop them getting anything. There was no shots on target but the most important thing was the victory and the goals and we got that.
"Today was very much about the team, but Luis [Suarez] will always get the plaudits because he's a world-class player. Nine out of 10 players wouldn't have played today. He had a really bad knock on the top of his foot from the Chelsea game and I know having managed players that most wouldn't have played with what he had today.
"He had a big strapping on it and put himself out there for the team yet again and that's why he gets the goals he does because he's so determined."
Hull manager Steve Bruce: "It's a disappointing result. It was a difficult afternoon for us. It isn't the easiest of places to come and towards the end we had a lot of tired bodies out there. We stuck at it and conceded from two set-pieces.
"Our season is never defined in places like this. It was very comfortable for Liverpool because we didn't have the energy. They were better than us on the day."
"It's always difficult [signing players] in January. If anyone can help us we'll try our best. It won't be more than one or two because I don't think the players are out there. We've made a decent start to life in the Premier League. If there's something there we can add on we'll try."

HAGERSTOWN, Md. - A Hagerstown man has been sentenced to 40 years for the death of his girlfriend's 2-year-old son.
Thirty-four-year-old Brian Michael Miller was sentenced Thursday in Washington County Circuit Court. Miller faced up to 65 years in prison after pleading guilty in September to abuse charges. The Herald-Mail of Hagerstown ( http://bit.ly/UrIXT5) reports that Circuit Judge John H. McDowell sentenced Miller to the maximum 30 years for first-degree child abuse resulting in death and 10 years on a second-degree child abuse charge.
Miller received a 15-year suspended sentence on another second-degree child abuse charge, and five years of probation after release.
Investigators say the boy hit his head when Miller pushed him to the floor of the home they shared. Logan told police he was angry because the boy trashed a bedroom.

Missouri Mercedes dealer offering free Smart with every SLS AMG purchase
by Jeffrey N. Ross (RSS feed) on Dec 5th, 2012 at 11:30AM
The Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG GT is an exquisite sports car that probably needs no help flying off dealer lots, even with a starting price of almost $200,000, but Mercedes-Benz of Kansas City has come up with an interesting incentive to sweeten the deal. For buyers who purchase a new SLS AMG from dealer stock before the end of the year, the dealership is throwing in a new Smart Fortwo from its inventory at no charge... with a required coupon no less. In addition to being a great tactic to get a little free press, the spare car also makes sense as an alternative to the SLS, which measures more... Read More

Several Formula One teams insist they won't be taking any additional security measures for the Bahrain Grand Prix.
Protests in the Middle Eastern country have once again flared up ahead of this weekend's race and there have been calls from British MPs to cancel the race.
The All-Party Parliamentary Group for Democracy in Bahrain has written a letter to Formula One supremo Bernie Ecclestone stating: "We request you cancel the Grand Prix.
"It is likely to attract as much negative publicity as last year."
Andy Slaughter, chairman of the Group, wrote: "Since April 2012, many more people including children have lost their lives and the whole country exists in fear and intimidation.
"Last year's race was held under conditions of martial law. Three hundred protesters were arrested, some spending months in jail.
"I think most democratic-minded people would be appalled if you allowed the Bahrain leg of the Formula 1 championship to go ahead amidst the most atrocious human rights violations."
The race, though, is set to go ahead and many teams are already en route to the Gulf country for the fourth race of the 2013 calendar.
According to BBC Sport, most teams won't be taking extra security measures despite the ongoing protests.
"The team will be vigilant and take sensible precautions, but otherwise we are approaching this race in the same way we do all races," Red Bull told the public broadcaster.
McLaren stated: "The team will be staying very near the circuit, at a hotel that has very good security, and we feel that no extra security measures are therefore necessary for us."
Williams added: "We are adhering to our normal security measures in Bahrain and just using usual common sense, nothing more."
Mercedes said: "The safety of our employees is our highest priority and we will follow the guidance of the Foreign and Commonwealth Office (FCO) concerning travel to the region.
"We have taken similar measures to those we used last year but would ask for your understanding that we do not wish to go into specific details."

Challenging Finish Wednesday
Thor Hushovd is the team's best placed rider overall (14th) as 118 riders remain tied on time for the race lead heading into the first of two mountain-top finishes in the week-long race. Sacha Modolo (Bardiani Valvole-CSF Inox) took the stage win ahead of Stage 1 winner Mark Cavendish (Omega Pharma-Quick Step) and moved into the overall lead. BMC Racing Team Directeur Sportif John Lelangue said Hushovd's hopes to improve on his eighth-place finish on the opening stage were dashed when he and lead-out man Daniel Oss got caught up in the last roundabout. "We did keep Tejay van Garderen in good position for the general classification," Lelangue said of the team's primary objective for the stage. Four riders who had been away for most of the 171.4 km race still led by nearly two minutes heading into the final 30 kms. But the chasing efforts of the peloton swallowed them up inside the final 10 km.

Central knocks off Knights, claims sectional title
The jerseys say "Central" but it was clear Monday night at the championship game of the South Adams Class 2A boys' basketball sectional that they might as well say "Family".
The Adams Central community came out in force, both on the court and in the stands, and the results were overwhelmingly in their favor. The final score said Adams Central 74, Bishop Luers 62, but that was just part of it.
From a quiet prayer session held just outside the gym doors before the game started, the near perfect execution on the court, and then the reluctance to leave a celebratory red-filled gymnasium upon completion of the game, it was clear that this was more than just a team claimin...

Susan R.Shelton, CTHairBlondeCurly HairColor Treated HairFine or Thin Hair****exceeds Awesome****I have extremely fine hair due to the amount of medication I take, I am forever in search of volumizing/thickening products. I have always liked the Tigi line so when I saw they came out with this I thought it can't hurt to try. This is the first time when I have bought a new product that other people immediately complimented on my hair. I was even asked by my husband if I had my hair done that day and he doesn't even notice when I change the color! I used the whole line together and will continue to do so as I'm that happy with it. The only thing you might like to add is something to combat humidity if that's a problem for you.7 out of 7 shoppers thought this review was helpful.

A Little About Us
Helping 6,000 companies simplify their workplaces so they can do more.
Today's workforce looks nothing like the workforce of the 1980s. Or even the 1990's.

They need real-time information from every corner of the globe. They need places to collaborate and places to innovate.
At Asure Software, we help approximately 6,000 clients worldwide prepare their workplaces for the workforce of today…and the future. Our company was founded on the premise — and the promise — to give businesses the best workplace productivity and facilities management tools available.

This is totally the inspiration I've been needing! I'm trying to start gearing up for preparing my "spring break body" and while I can be SUPER disciplined about hitting the gym every day, I'm soooo terrible at eating healthy! This definitely helped me to get motivated to start eating better!ReplyDelete
Great tips! This actually sounds really good, for a diet!ReplyDelete

Impressive Diamond Platinum Full Eternity Band
$2,250 USD Marked Down!$1,525 USD
Three circles of platinum all joined in one make for an impressive full eternity band with a substantial yet comfortable width. The center band is set with thirty-six (36) single cut diamonds of a total estimated .54 carats. The white diamonds are graded I-J in color and VS in clarity. The outer circles are incised with subtle foliate designs which encompass the entire surface. Quite a lovely way to express feelings with the illusion of three separate rings.
Date: Mid 20th century.
Measurements: 1/4 of an inch (0.8 cm) in length north to south on the hand and rises 1/16 of an inch (0.2 cm) in height off the finger. Weight of 7.6 grams (4.6 dwt).
Ring Size: Ring Size: US 9-1/4 (UK S; Euro or Int. Circum. 60.1 mm; Int. Dia. 19.2 mm; Japan over 18) Can be sized down to fit most with some pattern loss. Currently the ring has two internal strips which reduce original size of about 9-3/4 to 9-1/4. These can be removed at no charge. Should not be sized up. Ring sizing information.
Condition: Excellent; two sizing strips soldered to the interior.
Note: Diamonds were not removed to preserve the integrity of the setting. Weights are approximated by measurement and formula and may vary from actual weights. Grading may vary if stones are removed.

When the administration of the Western College for Women – now a part of Miami University – opened its campus to civil rights activists in 1964, the institution followed its long tradition of independence and innovation. An estimated 700 young, idealistic college students from across the north arrived in Oxford, Ohio for voter registration training before leaving to serve in Mississippi to register African-Americans to vote and assist with local community projects, like Freedom schools and the building of community centers.
Today, the story of Freedom Summer has the power to evoke important questions about American identity, public life, engagement, and commitment. This exhibit will focus on local resident Roland Duerksen and former student volunteers Carole Colca and Mark Levy. They have left the legacy of their work in the Western College Memorial Archives. This exhibit, which includes photographs, letters, audio recordings, and an interactive map of Mississippi, will serve as a narrative of their dedication to civil rights and social justice.

First Corvette ZR1 lands in Middle East for Royal Bahraini Family
by Chris Shunk (RSS feed) on Jan 19th, 2009 at 2:28PM
The 2009 Chevrolet Corvette ZR1 is the baddest in the two-seater's 56 year history. The ZR1's stat sheet includes jaw-dropping numbers like 638 supercharged horsepower, a 7:26 'Ring time, and straight line performance that bests supercars from Germany and Italy. So of course, the wealthiest of oil barons want the ZR1 for their trophy cases, and the Royal Bahraini Family will be first to take delivery. Fadi Ghosn, Chief Marketing Officer at General Motors Middle East, has said that there be a "limited amount" of ZR1s to arrive in the Middle East. And given the premium that is paid for...

- Revised illumination levels for new stairs

Peregrines on the Clock Tower 2013
[image: ]
Chicks at about 20 days
[image: ]
and at about 28 days
May 29 update
Well the chicks are now about a month old and the change in the last 10 days or so has been dramatic. The pictures show them at about 20 days and then a mere 8 days later, changing from fluffy white balls to something resembling a Peregrine.
If all 3 chicks fledge - possibly a big if given the knack they have of falling off the tower before they can fly properly - this will be a very good year. Well, I suppose it is anyway as the adults wil have raised 3 chicks to fledging age, just that the nest site isn't particularly safe for youngsters!
Judging by the size of the young it looks like there may be one female and 2 males. At one month the difference in size between the sexes is apparent even from a distance.
The next 2-3 weeks will be very challenging for the youngsters, I hope they manage to stay on the tower!
Peregrines on the Clock Tower 2013
May 3 update
Plenty of feeding taking place today and I think there may now be 3 chicks. Their heads are becoming more visible by the day so it should soon be very obvious how many chicks there are. Female seems to be doing most of the feeding at the moment with the male bringing in the food.
I hope the chicks are more sensible this year when they are bigger and don't get too adventurous too soon - the ledge by the nest isn't very wide!

Fix Every Prom Beauty Emergency
No matter how many months in advance you plan your perfect prom night, these makeup meltdowns can catch you off-guard! Here are some quick fixes for any beauty emergency that might strike on the dance floor.
By Nicolette, Prom Committee Beauty Genius
Smudged Eye Makeup
Mascara is a girl's best friend, but it can easily turn into her worst enemy after a few hours of dancing! No one wants to look like a raccoon on her special night, so be sure to pack a good concealer and a few makeup wipes. Carefully wipe mascara runs clean, then do a quick cover-up under your eyes with concealer and you're good to go!
Try: Almay's Eraser Sticks ($5, target.com) are the perfect product for on-the-go makeup removal. NARS Radiant Creamy Concealer ($28, sephora.com) is a little on the pricier side but worth the splurge and small enough to throw into your bag!

John Mellencamp
Heartland rocker and Farm Aid co-founder John Mellencamp (known at various points of his career as Johnny Cougar and John Cougar Mellencamp before reverting to the name he was born with) grew up in the Midwest and spent much of the '70s struggling to break into the music business. In the process he became something of a poster child for the sad results of bad marketing decisions, falling into the orbit of managers who wanted to promote him as the next David Bowie and then, a bit more realistically, the next Bruce Springsteen. Or maybe Bob Seger.
But Mellencamp persisted, and in the early '80s had a string of hits, mostly resonanting with the theme of being young, restless, bored, and trapped in places where nothing ever really happened, e.g. "Hurts So Good" and "Jack and Diane." By mid-decade he was starting to turn his attention to more serious social issues in his part of the country, most notably the loss of family farms to a bad economy and the encroachments of agribusiness. His growing anger about his neighbors' plight led to the album Scarecrow in 1985; that same year, he joined forces with Willie Nelson and Neil Young to launch the first Farm Aid benefit concert to help family farmers. Artists as diverse as Bob Dylan, Billy Joel and Loretta Lynn showed up to play, and the fundraiser has become an almost annual event since.
Mellencamp, meanwhile, continued to grow as an artist and record new albums, discovering in the process a love for the life he'd once found so restrictive -- as perhaps best expressed in his perennial anthem "Small Town." Like the protagonist of that song, he continues to live happily with his family in Indiana.
Generally perceived as being on the liberal side of the political spectrum, Mellencamp recently joined forces with conservative buddy Travis Tritt to record the hit single "What Say You," a plea for civility and comradely spirit despite ideological differences.

WASHINGTON -- NRA Executive Vice President Wayne LaPierre speaks publicly for the first time since the shooting in Newtown, Connecticut.
The nation's largest gun advocacy organization says they wanted to wait to respond out of respect for families who are grieving after last week's shooting.
LaPierre said the NRA was shocked and saddened by what happened. He said schools are gun-free zones, so armed people can attack with no resistance.
LaPierre said no one has addressed what he thinks is the most important question: "How do we protect our children right now?"
"American airports, office buildings, power plants, court houses even sport stadiums are all protected by armed security," LaPierre said. "We can care about our president so we protect him with armed Secret Service agents. Members of Congress are surrounded by Capitol police officers. Yet, when it some to our most beloved an innocent, our children, we as a society, leave them utterly defenseless."
LaPierre also blamed the media, video games, and movies, which he said glorify fantasy violence. He said it's today's society fueling this violence, not gun ownership.

Congratulations to Dr. Susan Delagrange for winning the "Winifred Bryan Horner Outstanding Book Award," named after an icon in the of rhetoric studies and given by The Coalition of Women Scholars in the History of Rhetoric and Composition. Only one book receives this award every two years! "Technologies of Wonder: Rhetorical Practice in a Digital World" is an e-book and is free to download.

"This is another shining example of the outstanding and influential research being produced right here on the Mansfield campus." -Dr. Norman Jones, English Program Coordinator, OSU Mansfield
Dr. Delagrange's approach to research is more interactive than you might imagine. In her book, she uses small videos, slideshows, and pictures to make theories for the art of persuasion. Dr. Delagrange states, "In digital media, we have the option of creating different kinds of digital arrangements that we don't have with words. It isn't true that a picture is worth a thousand words. A thousand words is a thousand words, and a picture is a picture."
With her students, Dr. Delagrange teaches the principles of collecting material and how to create persuasive digital arguments. For example, in English 2269, Dr. Delagrange's students put together digital literacy narratives based on their own experiences of reading and writing using Audacity (a sound editing program) and iMovie. Examples of video clips that relate to English 2269 (formerly English 269) are available in the Digital Archive of Literacy Narratives (DALN).

The short-handled Sun Glow Duo Brush is compact and dense.
Flaunting its French pedigree and self-proclaimed expertise in the field of Phytocosmetology (an unregulated term that simply means using natural extracts in beauty products, something that hundreds of cosmetics companies do), Sisley Paris offers consumers incredibly expensive products that, for the money, amount to a whole lot of nothing. More than any other line reviewed on Beautypedia, Sisley Paris makes some of the most outrageously false claims, presumably to convince their clientele that not only are they more than just a cut above the rest, but that they deserve to be on their own natural pedestal, too.
Here are some of the more far-fetched claims this company makes, with my responses in parentheses. "The Botanical Floral Mist can help skin sustain the effects of the sun." (No way, it doesn't even contain appreciable amounts of antioxidants.) Another claim is that their All Day All Year moisturizer, which carries a paltry SPF 8 rating, blocks "90% of UVA and UVB rays for 8 hours." Another is that their sunscreen products protect skin while allowing a tan to develop "gently and gradually." (We guess they don't know or won't acknowledge that any amount of a tan is a sign of skin damage and isn't the least bit healthy.)
The company also claims that all of their products are subject to strict research to measure their efficacy, but of course, the results of the "research" are not available to the public, and Sisley's counter personnel are quick to rebuff any questions about the validity of their claims. That's not surprising, as there is no way most of the claims can be legitimately proven and, for the most part, Sisley salespeople are accustomed to well-heeled women simply believing everything they have to say about the products, pricing be damned.
What is perhaps most distressing is that the Sisley formulations are some of the most embarrassingly ordinary and insultingly overpriced we've seen. We can emphatically state that there is nothing in these products you can't find at the drugstore from lines such as Nivea, Pond's, Neutrogena, Dove, and Olay. Actually, those lines have products with far more interesting formulations than this one does. For those who prefer shopping in upscale department stores where Sisley resides, there are several other companies at the counters in those lofty areas that offer far better products than Sisley. For example, Chanel's skin-care products are assuredly expensive, but at least some of their formulas approach state-of-the-art. The Lauder-owned lines seem cheap in comparison to Sisley, yet most of the Lauder products are far more advanced and formulated with current skin-care research in mind.
You may indeed find some Sisley products to love, but those who cannot afford this line needn't worry for a second that their wrinkles are not getting the crème de la crème. In fact, most of Sisley's skin care is the equivalent of a plain doughnut, with empty calories, and nothing worth savoring.
Note: All Sisley products contain fragrance, and we mean a lot of fragrance, unless otherwise noted.

Sisley Paris Makeup
Sisley's makeup is a bit more straightforward than its skin care, at least in terms of exaggerated claims. However, the shockingly high prices are still intact. It would be nice if the prices were even a little justifiable, especially for their best products (the makeup has improved in a few key areas since its last review), but that is simply not the case. I wouldn't encourage you to consider any item in this list, unless you like to overspend for results that range from average to great (with the best products easily being replaced by considerably less-expensive options). You'll come across a lot of claims for the plant extracts in Sisley's makeup, but their contribution is minor compared to the standard, efficacious cosmetic ingredients comprising the bulk of the formulas. If you absolutely must devote a portion of your cosmetics budget to Sisley makeup, at least the reviews should prove helpful and allow you to focus on the best that this overpriced makeup collection has to offer.

Review of chapter "New Directions" from
Really interesting variation, with Marcie as the one infected by cousin Jordy this time around. She's taking this well, all things considered, with plenty of support from Oz as well as the rest of the Slayer gang.

Review of chapter "End Of A Chapter" from
I only discovered this story recently (probably due to the new update), and have been reading it off-and-on over the past couple of weeks, and have now come to the current end. Very clever story; you have obviously put a lot of thought into the alterations you have made to canon - which now have really deviated heavily with the deaths of Drusilla and Spike, whilst Kendra still lives.
Will Warren become the (a) new Big Bad - after all he still has his supertech genius, even as a vampire (and I think we still need confirmation that he has become a vampire, and not simply assume it).
Of course, there are still a lot of canon baddies on the horizon - the Mayor, the DRI, Glory, etc.
A good, solid, entertaining story, that I look forward to a new chapter for.

Review of chapter "End Of A Chapter" from
Interesting way of taking care of the Judge, although I think they still need to pound him to (smaller) scrap to make sure...and maybe see if Thermite would burn part of him. After all it was unknown the last time he was together...and it burns significantly hotter than anything that could be made at that time. Just a thought.
Comments from author:
Thanks to the excellent work of my beta-reader, I have serious doubts about whether liquid nitrogen works that way in reality. But I know the technique works in the Buffyverse, because Angel and Wesley used it successfully against the demonic Haxil Beast (which was immune to decapitation and to fire) in the _Angel_ first-season episode 'Expecting'.

Review of chapter "End Of A Chapter" from
I'm fascinated by all the changes in this timeline, now that it's not just the Judge that's history, but also Drusilla and Spike too, and possibly Warren as a vampire instead of just a lethal misogynistic robot builder. And questioning the Watchers' Council's efficacy and procedures (even if Kendra's not quite comfy with that as yet) earlier on can only be a good thing, I'm thinking.

Love the information sharing that didn't happen in canon, but can't help worrying that they STILL won't find out about Angel's soul curse loophole in time. But hey -- squee! for the Giles-Calendar engagement!

Review of chapter "Big Talk" from
One of the AU scenarios I've always been interested in is where Jenny actually did reveal her status/mission to the Scoobies *before* Angelus came out to play. It really would have spared everyone so much grief...
That said, now that they have a bit of advance warning, it might be a good idea for them to research that Vampire Uninvitation spell, just in case.

Review of chapter "Changes" from
I can't help but wonder why exactly all of these changes occur because *Xander* wasn't there. In what way did he ever stop anything good like the events shown here from happening? In fact, is this story just meant to show that everyone would have been better off without him?
Edit: Who are you proving wrong? Xander? Xander is fictional. His reactions and attitudes in the opening chapters are what you, personally, gave him in this fic. So you're proving who wrong again? Thing is, canonical Xander (on the show) never thought of himself as that important. A lot of fic-writers have had him mention his positive acts a lot, but that's not canon. Just because a writer has him mention how he had to drag Angel down to save Buffy doesn't mean he ever mentioned it. In fact, the only ones who ever mentioned the good he did was other characters (Buffy and Willow mentioned it once or twice). His own view of himself is fairly well encapsulated in his speech to Dawn in the S7 episode Potential. He thinks of himself as just a regular guy in the background, which usually he was. So having him expect that the world turned out bad without him is a bit out of character. In fact, it's a lot out of character. Something more true to the character would have been having him tell Clarence that the gang got along *fine* without him, and Clarence then proving him at least partly wrong.
But that's really not why you're writing this, is it?
Comments from author:
I don't know, maybe everything would have been exactly the same if Xander wasn't there, but then I wouldn't have a story to write, would I? So the first part of my answer to your question is that the point is to tell a story that's worth reading. If you find my writing clumsy or my plotting dull or my characterisation implausible, you've got good reasons to stop reading, although personally I'd appreciate any criticisms you'd like to give because I might learn something from them.
The second thing is that because I'm not just writing any old story but specifically writing a fanfic, a derivative work, it means (at least to me) that my story implies some kinds of comments on or reaction to the original. For example, I'm giving the characters of Amy and Jonathan different and larger roles from the ones they had in the original, and in that way I'm exploring, a little bit anyway, what those characters might have been like in different circumstances. Again, if you think that the way I've written those characters is unbelievable in itself or, if not that, fatally inconsistent with what they were like in the original show, you have a criticism which I would like to hear more about.
Also, taking that further, in some respects the way I've constructed the story comments on the way the original was constructed. In some cases those comments find their way into the mouths of the characters. Just to give one example, when Buffy (briefly) died, Kendra was 'called', and then Buffy was resuscitated, did the Watchers' Council realise they now had (unprecedentedly) two active Slayers? If they did, why didn't they make sure that their agents Giles and Zabuto were both aware of this? Wouldn't that have been an important thing to mention, don't you think? Obviously at one level the answer is that when they were creating 'What's My Line?' they had not yet thought about the role and functions of the Watchers Council, but I still thought the point was making.
So no, the story is not just meant to show how everybody would have been better off without Xander. Although Xander is not an agent in the events of the story, his interactions with Clarence Odbody are part of the story, and he's explored exactly that issue. If you go back to the earliest chapters you'll see him speculating about the ways he expects things to turn out worse because of his absence. Does that seem to you implausible for Xander's character? But how interesting would it have been to write a story where Xander predicted what would happen and then it happened? Surely it has to be more interesting to see Xander dealing with his expectations being crossed up? And, following that principle, you will see that when Xander, trying to come to terms with what he's experiencing, suggests to Clarence that everything seems to be better as a result of his absence, Clarence challenges that idea too, points out that what's 'better' is more complex than that, and gives Xander examples of people who have died in this story who did not in the canonical with-Xander version of events.
At a very early point in the story, when Xander had just been referred to the story of 'It's A Wonderful Life', he gave a list of some of the good things he had done in his life, and nothing in this story denies that those actions were good actions, so the point of this story is not that Xander was never any use for anything. Somebody who wanted to write a story to show that Xander was a complete and total waste of space might try writing a story where Xander isn't there and yet somehow everything works out in exactly the same way. I think that would be a dull story, and that's not what this is (obviously).
I think the first item that Xander gave himself credit for in that list I mentioned is the resuscitation of Buffy after the Master drowned her. Now, I could have reached that point in my story and written it so that with Xander not there Buffy is not resuscitated, the Master rises, the Hellmouth opens, and it's the end. I chose not to do that so that I could continue the story. If you think the alternative I adopted was implausible or in some other way unsatisfactory, please tell me about it, because that could be a fair criticism. But at the very least I don't think it's unreasonable to suggest that other people apart from Xander might know how to do CPR. Whether any of them would have managed to be on the right spot at the right time is the question. Please note, however, that although I have made Jesse the substitute for Xander in that specific incident, I have not made Jesse a substitute for Xander across the board. I would see no point in a story in which Xander wasn't there but Jesse was and was just like Xander and did all the same things that Xander did. I have consciously worked to avoid that. There are places where I have deliberately used other characters, like Jonathan and Amy, to fill a slot in the story that was originally Xander's, to speak his lines or take his actions. I have tried to characterise Jesse in a way that is consistent with what basis the show did give for understanding how he's different from Xander, and if you can tell me how I've failed in that aim I'm eager to hear about it. My reading of the original suggests that Jesse should be more dull-witted and clueless and ineffectual than Xander, and I hope I've written him that way.
Finally, this isn't a story about Xander. I suppose there's a case to be made that part of the point of this story is 'It isn't always all about Xander', and there's a case to be made that that's a message being given to Xander, by Clarence Odbody and his presentation, within the story itself. But this story, like the original show, is a story primarily about Buffy; a story about many characters, but one in which Buffy plays the most important role and gets the most attention. So if you've got problems with the story I'm telling about Buffy, I'm keen to hear about them.
As a postscript, wherever the connection between the absence of Xander and the individual deviations from canon seemed to me potentially unclear to the reader, I have tried to have the characters (mostly Xander and Clarence) refer to them directly or indirectly so as to clear things up. But if you don't want to reread the whole story in order to understand the logic of the changes, I can easily give you the synoptic version. I did think all those points through explicitly and specifically because I wanted them clear in my own mind as background to what I was doing, so there'd be no problem spelling them out in writing if you'd like. Just let me know.
Edit: Since you bring up the question of why I'm writing this, I can tell you that I have two reasons. The first is guessable: I'm writing it for fun. The second would probably be harder to guess: I'm writing it because my daughter asked me to.
But I'm not writing it to prove anybody wrong about anything. I'm not sure where you got the idea that I think I'm doing that. I'm playing around with some ideas and exploring different aspects of them. I don't imagine that proves anything.
It is a presumption of this fic that Xander has seen and knows the story of 'It's A Wonderful Life', and given its cultural penetration that seems reasonable enough. In the film, Clarence the angel appears to George Bailey in order to give him a convincing demonstration of what a powerful positive contribution he's made to the world. I don't think it's unreasonable to create a scenario where somebody receiving what he recognises as an appearance of the same angel should imagine that the whole point of the occasion is for him to re-examine his life and see what sort of positive contributions he's made. Do you really think it would be more in character if Xander reacted in that situation by saying, 'Don't bother showing me what the world would be like if I had never been born, it would have been exactly the same?' (or 'I don't want to see what the world would be like if I had never been born, it would have been so much better, and that would just depress me'). Remember, Xander isn't having a social conversation with his friends (during which, you're right, he can show a generous spirit of self-deprecation). He's having a profound spiritual confrontation with an actual angel who has manifested solely for the purpose of guiding him through a powerful life lesson, where candour is more important than modesty or tact. The natural position is that the world would have been different if Xander had never been born, and given the context of the parallel with 'It's A Wonderful Life', it's natural enough to start looking for ways it would have been worse. (Although, even with that parallel, consider that the vision George Bailey is given by the angel in the film isn't of a world that's worse for everybody--it is, after all, a world that is better for Mr Potter.) In fact, the analysis Xander makes of the positive things he did in the canonical story line is a reasonable one for him to come up with in that scenario, and Clarence never suggests it's inaccurate. But then Xander hardly needs Clarence's story to confirm that analysis for him, does he? This story is about other things, not about proving Xander's analysis wrong.
More specifically, I think Xander's early-on negative reactions to early appearances of Jonathan, of Marcie, and of Amy are, given his experience of those characters in canon, plausible and in-character, but if you'd like to suggest how I'm wrong on that specific point I would be, again, interested to see more.
