Welcome back to another edition of Friday Night Lights as Blue Devil Nation takes you on a tour around the United States, checking on gridiron performances of future Blue Devils. This edition starts in Northern Virginia as we check in with Defensive Back Evrett Edwards.
Edwards had three receptions for 63 yards and a touchdown as Woodbridge defeated Gar-Field 48-20. After the game, Edwards stated, "It went well. We had almost 500 yards rushing, a great rivalry game." On the defensive side of the ball, Edwards was credited with four tackles.
In North Carolina, after Statesville defeated North Iredell 42-0, cornerback Breon Borders exclaimed, "We dominated the whole game…but me individually, there isn't really much to say. I didn't let my receiver off the line the whole game. They didn't pass to my side one time!" Borders recorded four solo tackles in the win.
In California, running back Joseph Ajeigbe rushed for 127 yards in Norco's 39-16 victory over previously undefeated La Serna. La Serna built a 16-6 lead in the first quarter, but Norco responded by reeling off 33 straight points. Discussing his role in the victory, Ajeigbe declared, "I was more a decoy this game. They were loading eight in the box in preparation for the run."
Looking toward next week, Ajeigbe stated, "This week we have a big game coming up. We're playing nationally ranked Mission Hills Alemany. It should be a good test for us as a team as we prepare to go into league play."
In Georgia, defensive tackle Mike Ramsay described The Walker School's victory, "We won a tough one 21-14 over Mt. Zion. We are now 4-0 for the first time in Walker School history."
Heading to Texas, offensive lineman Austin Davis commented on Mansfield's loss to South Grand Prairie, "We lost on a game-winning field goal 21-23. We rushed for 200 yards and had an average game. I did a good job and handled my opponent."
This week's edition closes out by checking in with three prospects in Florida.
Dual threat quarterback Parker Boehme passed for 148 yards (10-18-0) and rushed for 81 more but Sandalwood came out on the short end of a 23-21 decision against Fletcher. Here is a video clip.
T.J. Douglas ran for 94 yards on 12 carries, including a 69-yard touchdown and tossed a 31-yard touchdown pass as Fort Myers defeated Riverdale 15-0 to improve to 4-0 on the season. Douglas is number 10 in green in the video clip.
Wide Receiver Johnell Barnes scored a touchdown on a four yard run as Ft. Myers Dunbar blasted Lake Placid 49-0.

Share on Pinterest Email to a friend Share on Twitter Share on Facebook Share on Google Plus 1/8 Susie and Chris's blue and cream wedding - The Couple Photography: Tom Chapman at Idlehans Photography The Couple Susie and Chris met in March 2002 through work and got engaged later the same year. We immediately fell head over heels in love and Chris proposed during a holiday to the Western Isles of Scotland. We hadnt even met each others family yet but we just knew we had found our soul mates. I cant remember feeling surprised when he asked me because wed so completely fallen for each other, says Susie. 2/8 Susie and Chris's blue and cream wedding - The Venue The Venue The couple chose the elegant Sherfield House for their big day. The people at Sherfield were an absolute delight to work with. They were so flexible and accommodating and really did help us to create the perfect day, says Susie. They decided not to have a rigid theme but did incorporate a blue and cream colour scheme. Our flowers were blue Scottish thistles and cream roses to reflect the fact that Im Scottish and Chris is English. I did all the planning myself and loved every minute, says Susie. 3/8 Susie and Chris's blue and cream wedding - The Outfits The Outfits Susie wore a beautiful vintage-style dress by Maggie Sottero from Maid in Heaven in Ashford. I borrowed a stunning freshwater pearl necklace from my friend and a gold and diamond bracelet from my mum. Id been planning to wear some pearl earrings but on the morning of the wedding Chris gave me a beautiful pair of diamond Tiffany earrings, says Susie. Chris wore a black suit from Hugo Boss, while Susies three bridesmaids wore midnight blue dresses by Dessy, from Silhouettes in Richmond. The girls all chose a different dress to suit their own shape and style. My niece Natasha was my flower girl she had her own blue dress and a little fairy wand in blue and cream, says Susie. 4/8 Susie and Chris's blue and cream wedding - The Flowers The Flowers The floral arrangements for the day, created by Emma Lappin, followed the blue and cream colour scheme. I wanted my bouquet to look as if Id just been in a meadow and picked a bunch of flowers so I had white peonies, roses, white double bloom lisianthus and blue thistles, with eucalyptus foliage, says Susie. We used roses and thistles throughout the day and vases of mixed flowers from my mums garden to decorate the ceremony room, says Susie. 5/8 Susie and Chris's blue and cream wedding - The Ceremony The Ceremony The couple exchanged vows, bathed in sunlight, in the Garden Room at Sherfield. Again, we wanted it to reflect our own personalities so we each wrote our own vows. Everyone said that they were so heartfelt and emotional and there wasnt a dry eye in the room, says Susie. I felt emotional walking up the aisle with my mum, then when I reached the top and held Chriss hand, I felt a rush of happiness and relief, she adds. 6/8 Susie and Chris's blue and cream wedding - The Reception The Reception After the ceremony, guests enjoyed tea and scones, Pimms and beer on the patio. Once the photographs were taken we were all seated in the marquee. The amazing decorations were hand-made by my mum and Chriss mum - including bunting in our colour scheme of midnight blue and cream. They also decorated wooden love hearts with beads, ribbons and feathers and placed them along one wall, to frame the top table, says Susie. The couple decided on a BBQ for the morning breakfast and caterers To Your Taste served up steak, salmon, butterfly chicken, sausages and vegetarian kebabs, accompanied by hot and cold salads and breads. There was a selection of desserts including white chocolate cheesecake and fresh berry salad. 7/8 Susie and Chris's blue and cream wedding - The Cake The couples very unique cake - seven tiers of blue and cream cupcakes topped by a carrot cake - was created by Sarah at Sugar Sensations. It was the best carrot cake I have ever tasted and the cup cakes must have been good too because they were all gone before I could get one, says Susie. After dinner, coffee and the speeches, the couple took to the dancefloor for their first dance - The Way You Look Tonight by Tony Bennett. Afterwards, a Scottish ceilidh band entertained the guests, followed by a DJ playing some of the couples favourite songs. 8/8 Susie and Chris's blue and cream wedding - Memories There were so many wonderful moments but I think my absolute favourite was when I reached the top of the aisle and Chris took my hand - it felt so strong and safe, says Susie. I know its a cliché but it really was the best day of my life! I thoroughly enjoyed planning every single element and it was wonderful to see the hard work come together. Its so special to be surrounded by your friends and family and for everyone to be so happy for you...a great privilege, she adds. loading...

James O'Keefe: What Did Glenn Beck Know, and When Did He Know It?
I can offer some reasonable speculation about where this O'Keefe business is going.
There are the perpetrators, the four young men who attempted to get access to the telephone system of Mary Landrieu, the Democratic senator from Louisiana. Then there is whomever else can be connected to them, by cell phone records, text messages, or email.
These are the little fish. Somewhere, at some remove, with some level of foreknowledge—with enough deniability or not—are the big fish.
The Times' front page piece yesterday, with the thumbnails of the four perps, says little—save that O'Keefe and company were right-wing hot dogs—but is full of anticipation. The Times knows well enough that a break-in, one full of theatrical verve, is unlikely to have happened in a vacuum. Indeed, the subtext of the Times piece is all about James O'Keefe's impressive conservative network.
It's a network full of high-profile mentors. After O'Keefe's audacious bit of political theater exposing the haplessness or recklessness of some functionaries at the liberal group, Acorn—a popular bête noire among conservatives—he was immediately and enthusiastically taken up by the right-wing media.
The right-wing media is an insular but curiously convivial group. It loves its fellow travelers. It loves other right-leaning attention seekers. This is a club for the ideologically pure who are media savvy. The Times piece sketches out some of these connections, including O'Keefe's relationship with Andrew Breitbart, who is in turn connected to Matt Drudge.

I don't have a recipe with exact porportions, but this is what I do: Saute cut up chicken breast in olive oil until almost cooked through. Add as much minced garlic as you like and the juice of about a half a lemon. Finish cooking the chicken and salt and pepper to taste. Put the chicken with all of the oil and garlic on a boboli flatbread crust and top with shredded mozzarella cheese. Bake in a hot oven until cheese is melted and crust has crisped up a bit. |

text: you asked... Q&A: What is spina bifida? What is spina bifida, and how can I prevent it? Want to participate? Log in to share your thoughts Re: What is spina bifida, and how can I prevent it? Spina bifida is a birth defect in a baby's neural tube. The best preventative method is to take a folic acid supplement in the weeks before and after baby's conceived. It's important to do this if you're trying to conceive because baby's neural tube closes around days 49 to 56 -- and often, that's about the time women realize they're pregnant.You should be taking a minimum of 400 micrograms of folic acid -- most prenatal vitamins have about 800 micrograms. Some women who are at higher risk for having a baby with spina bifida, like those with diabetes or who've previously had a baby with a neural tube defect, will be prescribed a higher dose of folic acid (usually about four milligrams -- that's 10 times as much). Certain medications, like antiseizure meds, could put your baby at risk for neural tube defects, so be sure to run anything you're taking past your doctor. Laura Riley, MD, ob-gyn, Director of Labor and Delivery at Massachusetts General Hospital and author of You & Your Baby: Pregnancy Q&A: What is spina bifida? If you have the gene in your family there is no sure fire way to prevent it but the best method is like the answer states. I have Spina Bifida myself, and have the gene in my family (I will be tested next month to see if I am a carrier of the gene) and they just doubled my folic acid intake from what a normal pregnancy would require. If you are more than 7-8 weeks pregnant, chances are either your baby has it or doesn't. Most of the time though if there is no family history, and you have prenatal care from the beginning there is absolutely nothing to worry about :) Just take care of yourself and don't skip your vitamins. mego1988 | Want to participate?

I am new to this forum so please forgive the basic question. Our house does not have gutters and we do not plan on getting gutters in the future. As a result, there are a few areas where the rain comes off of the roof and really pounds on the graound. The pitch is away from the house so water does not flow toward the foundation. In the areas that the water hits, I am thinking of putting some small rock beds as "water catchers". Does anyone have any suggestions on the type/size of rock to use, any plantings that I could do in the rock bed or edging to dress it up, etc. Any pictures would be great.
Thanks |

Why don't you plan to add gutters to your house? |
We don't have gutters on our house either and one thing I can say, unless your yard slopes quite steeply away from the house you will get a snow mountain under the eaves in the winter. This may not be the same problem for you depending on what your house is made of (we have wood siding that the snow starts to slump and freeze against if we do not shovel - we have had to replace the whole back side of our house this past year as the wood was rotted through in places almost to the interior walls from 30 years of this kind of thing) but I would highly recommend some sort of material that you can shovel rather than small rocks. We've put a bluestone patio on one side of our house, in part to make snow removal easier and will be putting down a bluestone walkway with drainage underneath on the other for this purpose. On the upside, we've never had our roof damaged from ice dams backing up from the gutters! |

I don't have any hands on advice for you. I seem to recall that Gordon Hayward addressed this topic in his book "Your House, Your Garden". The thought had crossed my mind to replace a gutter along the back of my house with some like the Rainhandler gutters (see the link below). I was not serious enough about it to do much research or check prices. They seem like a good idea...at least in theory. - Brent |
Here is a link that might be useful: Rainhandler gutters
Look for posts by a member called "IronBelly" In particular, try searching for his rain-garden posts. He does not have gutters on his house and has some good solutions and advice on tackling that issue. |

We have rain gutters (with screens)on our house and we're not one bit impressed with them.We have lots of long needle pine trees and a huge sugar maple in the back yard so our gutters are always clogged. The pine needles collect on the gutter screens. The older we get the more we hate cleaning the gutters and climbing that tall ladder. They were put one by a professional but because of the pitch of the roof the water overflows the gutters and runs down the side of the house.They were a waste of money.I would like to know how to landscape around our house for drainage and just get rid of the gutters once and for all. |

You might want to try a rain barrel. They work great for collecting water in places where guttering is unavailable or in your case if you don't have gutters.You can find rain barrels by following this link. http://www.conductor-heads.com/rain_barrel.htm Best Regards, |

Well, maybe it wasn't so obvious. "Keep an open mind," Harshaw advises one-hit wonders in search of a second hit. In 1993, he was talking to a neighbor who needed someone to manufacture equipment for his laser tag company. Harshaw realized a lot of the technology he used in his checklist and passenger briefing systems was applicable to laser tag. And it didn't hurt that Harshaw had once been a defense laser systems specialist.
Harshaw's talk with his neighbor led to a formal meeting with Universal Studios. Although the neighbor's business folded, Harshaw landed a contract with Universal that transformed his slow-crawl company into a fast-moving firm. Heads Up's LaserTrek laser tag systems are now used in theme parks around the world. The company's 1997 sales hit $4 million, and its 30 employees currently split their time between the transportation and entertainment industries.
The Frey brothers took a different approach to expansion. Instead of creating a new service, they found new markets for their existing one. That's the strategy suggested by the Women's Business Training Center's Norington, who believes going in too many directions takes your attention away from improving your product.
The Freys found their new markets a few years ago, after The Washington Times did a story about their care package business. A law firm called, asking if the brothers could make packages for law school students it was hoping to recruit.
Today, Granny's Goodies has five full-time employees, about 25 part-time workers, and expects $1.5 million in sales this year. In addition to college students, the partners provide summer campers and soldiers abroad with customized packages. Especially lucrative are corporations: Granny's Goodies specializes in creating packages for recruiting, law, accounting, real estate and mortgage brokerage firms. If a law clerk is preparing to take the bar exam, for example, his or her firm might send a care package.
"A care package is a classic idea," says Seth. "We just need to educate the public as to [the many different ways to use it]."
Educating potential customers about new uses for your product is key, says Edwards, who explains the three-pronged approach: "Change the age; change when it's used; change where it's used."
How can you find new uses for your product? Edwards recommends asking your customers--the ones who know you well--for suggestions.
Harshaw's company has often sought advice from those who use its products, but because his industry is so technical, customers didn't always understand the blueprints for product ideas. So Heads Up started using computer technology to change its blueprints into 3-D-like photographs that allowed clients to offer suggestions. Heads Up had developed a new skill--computer animation--that came in handy when the company created graphics for a laser tag exhibit at Sea World of Texas.
"One thing I live by, and it's probably my strongest rule, is to grow the company by adding capabilities, as opposed to adding specific products," says Harshaw. "We've found that every time we have the capability to do something, the opportunities make themselves known, and you can respond. But if you don't have the capability, well, you can't do it anyway."
And woe to those companies that try to do it anyway. Says Altman: "The single [biggest] flaw entrepreneurs have is that once you've built your company and have been successful, you think you have the golden touch. But guess what? The odds [aren't any better] the second time around."
Still, if you don't attempt to brave those odds again, you risk remaining a one-hit wonder; somebody else's product or service might make yours obsolete. "Somebody can notice you and copy or emulate you," says Edwards. "That's part of the risk of success."

Have a variety of pads, framed kneelers and "tractor seat" wheeled carts, but really have come to like an inexpensive plastic Adirondack-style chair that is stable, low to the ground and very light weight. It is very easy to move and easy to get up out of because it has wide arms. |

Hey Everyone,
I was on the phone with Disney today and they told me that they are doing a soft launch of part of the Celebrations program. Starting November, guests will be able to order a "room decoration" package. This package will allow the guest to decorate the hotel room for a special occasion (pirate/princess theme, etc). The prices for room decoration are going to be posted next week. You can call the Disney Florist and have your name put on a special list and they'll email you the prices.
I'm very excited about this because I"m going in December and was slightly dissapointed that I wouldn't be able to take advantage of the Disney Celebration thing. Apparently, Disney is starting a few specific activities earlier.
If you are planning a trip before January 1st, but still want something special, I suggest giving Disney a call to see what else is launching before January.

found a new home!
Plenty of my friends are looking
for one too. Find a pet to adopt.
Find a pet to adopt |
My name is Rainey!
Facts about Rainey
- Breed: Boston Terrier
- Color: Black - With White
- Age: Adult
- Size: Small 25 lbs (11 kg) or less
- Sex: Female
Rainey's Info...
I am already spayed, housetrained, purebred, a special needs pet, up to date with shots, good with kids, and good with dogs.
Rainey was dumped in the drop box. She must have been given up due to her eye condition, dry eye. She will have to be on an eye lubricant, and antibiotic for the rest of her live. Without the eye meds she is in pain. She is 5 years old, happy and very friendly with children and other dogs. The price of the medication is not outrageous, roughly $ 40 for a 3 month supply.

Why Adoption is a Great Option
Rainey, a Crawfordville Boston Terrier dog was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Boston Terrier for sale in Crawfordville, or seeking a Boston Terrier dog from a breeder in Crawfordville.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in Crawfordville already know the personality and tendencies of their pets. This means they can match you with the right pet. That will makes it much easier transition to owning a pet for yourself and your new pet.
- On average adoption fees are much less than you'd pay a Crawfordville breeder, or pet store. Plus most often rescue pets have already been to the veterinarian for a check-up, had a round of vaccinations, and are spayed or neutered. That is a lot of savings!
- You will become a hero, and give a needy dog or cat a loving home. In fact, there are even Boston Terrier breeders who help with Boston Terrier rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in Crawfordville paves the way for another one to be saved.

I'm tired of the coffee maker have, have had it for years and there is something about the bottom that traps liquid and makes a mess.
I'm not interested in a french press or percolator etc. I would like something that takes a gold basket Is fairly simple, no real requirements for timers etc. I'm single so doesn't have to be big Isn't all plastic, don't like heated plastic Fairly common, commonish glass coffee pot a plus because I break them every so often Like quality and am willing to pay for it, just don't feel the need for anything too exotic or big or hard to find |
Follow-Up Postings:
I have a four cup Mr. Coffee, the coffee is HOT, it takes a gold basket, the carafe is easy to replace, you can get it with or without a timer, and either way, it's under $20, so you can't go wrong. |
After twenty years of using a Bunn, I just got a Hamilton Beach Brew Master. They will take a permanent basket if you want to use one. Don't want to mess with a carafe at all? That's the main reason I bought this one. The coffee is dispensed right into a cup or your own pitcher by pressing it against a lever. You can pull off a cup as it's brewing, too. It can be set to brew a small quantity on the 1-4 cup setting. It fills from a hopper right inside the machine you lift out, so you don't have to have a separate pitcher to fill it. It has a glass level so you can tell how much coffee is still in the heating chamber, and you can fill it the night before and set it to brew and be warm and waiting for you the next morning, and best of all it automatically shuts the warming element off after two hours, in case you forget. No more cracked carafes or burnt coffee. Sorry, it's plastic with a stainless look front. But has a lot of good features and I can live with that. |

Got a $30 Mr Coffee 12 cup at CostCo about 4 years ago for work. It has worked great, like the way the coffee tastes a lot. Two at work like the taste and bought for home, MIL also bought and likes. |

I went through 3 Cuisinarts and didn't like them at all. Just bought a Capresso and love it! It quickly makes very hot, great tasting coffee and it's a sleek looking addition to the kitchen, too! I did a lot of research before making this purchase, as I didn't want to be unhappy again and have to throw ANOTHER coffee maker in the trash. It looks like mostly metal but there is some plastic on the inside. It comes with a gold filter but I prefer to use the #4 cone paper filters because I think clean-up is easier. But that's just me! It is more expensive than most. I paid about $150.00 with shipping on eBay. But, with all the trouble and disappointments I've had in the past, it's worth it to me. It also has an internal charcoal water filter and a light that flashes to let you know it needs to be changed. If your tap water is filtered, it is not needed. It can be programmed to start at a desired time if you ever have the need. The water boiler (where the water is heated, not the tank) is stainless steel, not aluminum like most others. Most coffee makers are 900 watts, but this one is 1200 watts which, to me, translates to hotter coffee. Mine came with a thermal carafe, which is metal and not breakable. However, I'm sure there is the possibility of damage if it were dropped. Replacement thermal carafes are available for purchase, but they are expensive (around $50.00). I chose the thermal carafe as I don't like coffee that is heated on a hot plate and quickly becomes bitter. It only comes in one size, 10 cup. I hope this helps! |

The Starter Upper: A Tool For Imagining New Start-Ups
One of the very best ways to come up with new ideas is by using the concept of 'random association.' By combining two or more apparently unrelated ideas, you come up with a third that really makes you think. That's just what the folks at Vitamin T have created for us when it comes to creating a new start-up. By dragging a selection of two or three different attributes into their magic venn diagram Starter Upper, you not only get to jog your imagination about a random start-up idea (mobile + game mechanics + geo-location = Foursquare)… they even give you a catchy title for your new venture (catchiness does vary). Try it for yourself! [Read more…]

The recent Conan the Barbarian movie, though I haven't yet seen it, has
caused me to recall my own relationship with the Conan character. (Eh, not that kind of
relationship.) So now it's time for you to be bound, gagged, and dragged along on one
of my voyages down memory lane. Stockholm Syndrome, anyone?
Conan — Years 1969-1974
I was born decades after the death of Conan creator Robert E. Howard. He killed
himself in 1936. I first became aware of Conan through the anthologies edited and
added to by writers L. Sprague de Camp and Lin Carter, published beginning in 1966
by Lancer Books (and continued by Ace Books after Lancer's demise).
These editions
had gorgeous cover paintings by Frank Frazetta. My recollection is that I was first drawn
in by the cover for Conan of Cimmeria, illustrating "The Frost Giant's Daughter," but I
could be wrong — that paperback is long lost from my library (it fell apart from re-reading ca. 1980).
Books, Books, Books
Which brings me to a side road branching from Memory Lane.
I bought Conan of Cimmeria and a vast number of other SF&F paperbacks at a
bookstore in Denton, TX, called Fultz's News Stand.
Fultz's, despite its name, had far more books than magazines, most of them laid
out in sturdy standup wire racks, face-out. It also had slightly uneven, creaky wooden
floors. The whole place was suffused with the smell of pulp paper. In the back along the
right side was, by the standards of the 1960s, an extensive science fiction and
fantasy section.
At Fultz's, at various points in my childhood and teen years (my family moved
around quite a bit prior to the early 1970s), I harvested Ace Doubles, got to know the
Hardy Boys and Nancy Drew, accumulated Heinlein juveniles, and was floored by
covers by Frank Frazetta and Jim Steranko, not to mention the contents under those
lovely pieces of art.
Fultz's is long gone, but I remember bits and pieces of it with crystal clarity. Nor
am I the only one. From time to time I run into others who lived in Denton, many of
them one-time students at North Texas State University or Texas Women's University
(which later mated to form UNT, the University of North Texas), and they all seem to
remember Fultz's, generally with wistful appreciation.
But, yes, I digress.
Back to Our Story
Anyway, I bought those Lancer editions of the Conan saga, read them, enjoyed
them. Not long afterward, Marvel Comics acquired the rights to do comic books based
on the Conan character. In 1970, they released the first issue of Conan the Barbarian,
with art by Barry Smith (later called Barry Windsor-Smith) and words by Roy Thomas.
The Smith/Thomas collaboration worked quite well, and the early issues of the title were
eerie and memorable. Smith's version of Conan, except for the dopey horned helmet he
wore, closely matched my mental image of the character, and the version of Red Sonja
introduced later in the series visually made a lot more sense than the chain-mail-bikini
creature the character eventually became.
But Barry Smith left the series and was replaced by John Buscema. Buscema
was a good artist, but his interpretation of Conan was different — bigger, more massive,
more glowering, more brooding. In the comic book and especially with the debut of its
black-and-white, magazine-sized sister publication, The Savage Sword of Conan, the
character seemed to become more silent and insular.
I didn't like him as much. Eventually I stopped buying the comics. But the
popularity of the two titles increased throughout the decade.
Which brings me to the whole point of this post.
Bigger and More Sullen Is Better?
The Conan of the comics did, in fact, turn into someone who could be
appropriately portrayed by Arnold Schwarzenegger in the 1982 film, Conan the
Barbarian. And it took me a while to figure out why a more sullen, less interactive
Conan would become more popular with fans than the lithe, more vulnerable version of
the early issues.
Here's my theory:
Conan became a car. |
No, bear with me. Let's say that you're a teenage boy, pimply and
disenfranchised, full of rage at the way the world treats you, desperate to be attractive
to girls. And you are convinced by the advertising geniuses of Madison Avenue that if
you climb into the right sports car, you can cruise around, outrace your enemies (who,
obviously, drive lesser cars), and pick up girls even though you don't quite know how to
talk to them. The sex appeal of your wheels will do all the work for you.
Similarly, from the perspective of that teenage-boy demographic, Conan would
cruise to a new place, kill everyone who gave him back talk, and pick up chicks without
even needing to talk to them. It's that last bit that makes him superior to many other
iconic characters of the 1960s and 1970s. Sure, James Bond could have any woman
he wanted, but he still had to talk to them — to say actual words that would initiate the
seduction process. Conan just had to flex, and every teenage boy knows how to flex.
So that version of Conan was a car. A muscle car, obviously.
Jason Voorhees, Defender of Justice
This conclusion, in turn, led me years later to think about Jason Voorhees — the murderous
maniac of the Friday the 13th movie series. (Though, curiously, he wasn't even the killer in two of them. But again I digress.) The same sort of reasoning leads to a
possible explanation for Jason's popularity. He's not a car, but he stands in for the rage
of disenfranchised teenage boys, and he does this by killing everyone who makes them
Officious camp counselors, local sheriffs and deputies? Authority figures. Stand-ins for parents, in fact. One chop and they're down. Pretty but snotty girls? Chop. The
handsome guys who get the pretty but snotty girls (instead of you)? Chop.
Who survives until the end of the movie? The likeable, not-snotty girl who might
give you a chance some day. So it is at that point in the movies, over and over again,
that (sadly) Jason must be put down — before he kills the one nice girl who might show
you the time of day.
I've heard fans of the Friday the 13th series complain bitterly that Jason X was
the worst movie of the series. (This is the series entry that takes place a couple of
centuries in the future; Jason is found in cryosuspension and thawed out, and naturally
goes on another murderous rampage.) These fans get emotional on the subject, as if
they were personally betrayed by that movie.
Well, they wre. Jason X did the unforgivable. It presented the viewers with a
cast of interesting, mostly likeable characters, the majority of whom did not represent
the traditional tormenters of the teenage boy — and then killed them one by one. Never
mind that the movie's acting, production values, and dialogue were generally head and
shoulders above those of other entries in the series: Jason killed the wrong people.
Thank heavens he got back to killing all the right people when the series was
rebooted. Right?
Iconic or Ironic
So, anyway, Conan has become a car and Jason Voorhees has become a
defender of the little guy.
I will get around to seeing the new Conan movie and its sequels, if any. I hear
that Jason Momoa does a good job and presents a more pantherish, thiefly, Robert E.
Howard-esque Conan.
Now we need another series relaunch to wash the taste of the 1997 Kull the
Conquerer out of our minds.
Last Thoughts
The novelization of the new Conan movie is by Michael A. Stackpole. I'm glad
Mike got that assignment. He shares with me an appreciation of the pulp writers of the
1930s and the characters they created. And though I haven't read his novelization yet, I
suspect that he did not portray Conan as a car.

This famous landmark commemorates the restoration of Portugal's independence back in 1640 and is an apt starting point for this tour through Lisbon's musical and culinary heritage.
To kick this Lisbon evening tour off with even more of a bang, you'll have the chance to try a sip of Ginjinha, Lisbon's trademark liqueur, made from sour cherries and sold as medicine since 1840. For this we'll be in the old district of Mouraria, listening to Fado music in a local tavern. Next, step back in time and enjoy a short ride on the vintage Tram 28 – a local transport legend. Take in sweeping views and stop for a break to admire the sunset over this intoxicating city from the viewpoints of the Castle Hills, some of the city's best-kept secrets.
Next, travel deep into the soul of Lisbon while exploring the Alfama neighborhood. This is the oldest quarter in the city, dating back to the Moorish occupation of Lisbon. Explore Alfama's small squares, rustic buildings and dark alleyways as you wander along the winding, cobblestone streets. Stop to breathe in the exciting atmosphere as the local taverns and music venues come to life for another evening of melodic tunes and gastronomic delights.
Stop to reflect on the beauty of the River Tagus then continue on to finish this Lisbon walking tour in an old Palace that serves up daily doses of delicious food and Fado music to enthusiastic audiences.
Sample traditional Portuguese tapas and wine while appreciating a performance of Fado from one of the most famous houses, a quintessential Lisbon experience that you won't get on other Lisbon tours! What a fitting finale to this indulgent Lisbon walking tour extravaganza.

Definitely loved this tour! It was a taste of Lisbon that I hadn't seen on my own. The guide was very knowledgable about all the history and cultural tidbits so relevant to the overall city. The Fado experience was memorable! One of the highlights of my Lisbon experience.

Good tour except some of the walking from meeting point to some of the sites seemed aimless.

Great tour - probably my highlight of this trip, and a perfect way to navigate a very confusing and unfamiliar terrain.

My seventeen year old daughter and I took two different Urban Adventures tours on our visit to Lisbon. The first was the Experience Walk with Carlos. The tour was amazing. We visited many districts of the city and experienced the most amazing views. The tastings were all wonderful. Carlos has an excellent knowledge of the history of the city and the pride he showed for his city was apparent. We enjoyed the ferry ride and the seafood and green wine. We were very tired and very happy at the end of the tour.
We also took the Sunset Fado Tour. It was equally amazing. Our guide Augusto was really funny and nice and worked hard to ensure we all had a good time. The beer at sunset was very relaxing, the views were terrific. The Fado was excellent and included red wine and some nice snacks. We especially enjoyed the walk throught the Alfama district to get to the Fado location.
We would definitely do both tours again.

Our tour guide was very fun and down to earth. It made it a very intimate and fun experience. I did not feel weird about asking questions or want to know more. She was very knowledgable and laid back with us. Made us feel more like we were touring with a friend as opposed to someone who was up tight and robotic.

J'aurais préféré connaître l'heure et le lieu de rendez-vous lors de la réservation plutôt que de téléphoner la veille (problème de la langue). A part ce problème d'organisation de la réservation, l'accueil et la prestation étaient très très bien.

On Oct. 2, a new app for iPhones and iPads was launched that works as a reference for radiographic positioning. The app was created by Palmer's own Linda Carlson, M.S., R.T. (Diagnosis & Radiology Department, Davenport Campus), and Philip W. Ballinger, Ph.D., R.T.
Highlights editor: What made you decide to create an iPhone/iPad app? Have you worked with this technology before?
Ms. Carlson: I was approached by Phil Ballinger, who is a big name in radiology. He wanted to do a medical radiography app and thought I might "enjoy" doing a chiropractic radiography app. This was my first time working with the technology. I'm so techno-challenged!
Highlights editor: For those not familiar with Mr. Ballinger, could you share some information about him? How did you come to work with him on this project?
Ms. Carlson: Phil is a renowned author on the subject of radiographic positioning, and I met him at a seminar several years ago. We have kept in touch by e-mail, both professionally and personally, and he said he immediately thought of me when he had his "big idea."
Highlights editor: What does the app offer?
Ms. Carlson: The app is an entire presentation on chiropractic radiographic positioning. Since chiropractic radiography is somewhat different than medical radiography, I thought many of Palmer's alumni might like to have it handy on the iPhones or iPads in lieu of a positioning textbook. The app contains text explaining how to perform a particular set-up for each part of the body. We have included pictures of how the set-up should look, and we have included pictures of the resulting radiograph of each set-up.
Highlights editor: Where can people find the app?
Ms. Carlson: It's available on iTunes and currently sells for $19.99.
Highlights editor: It sounds like a great tool for chiropractors.
Ms. Carlson: It was an enlightening experience! It was an honor to work with Phil, and it has been fun to say, "I wrote an app for iPhone!"

welcome to the eighth installment in this series, 31 days to encourage your older children!
Teaching our children well encompasses many areas of life. Money ranks pretty high up there in order of importance.
We are not a wealthy family when it comes to money. We are wealthy in many areas, but money not so much.
Here are some lessons we taught our children in an effort to encourage them to be prudent with their money:
1. Look for the blessings. Yes, there will always be something more than you want, but focus on what you already have first.
2. A dollar earned is worth more than a dollar given. When you work for something, rather than it being handed to you, you appreciate it oh so much more.
3. Working for a living is a good character builder.
4. Seeking used items before purchasing new is most always a better way.
5. Look for ways to reuse what you already have. This is a great mindset, that will benefit your child throughout his life.

Hollywood movie makers move into our neighborhood
A different kind of history was made in historic Senoia last Saturday. It was marked by an event that signaled a new partnership and one that will bring even more of Hollywood to Senoia and Coweta and Fayette counties.
The occasion was the Sept. 18 open house at Senoia's RiverWood Studios that celebrated a long-term management agreement that christened the facility Raleigh Studios Atlanta.
Standing just outside one of the sound stages and commenting on the new business relationship with Hollywood-based Raleigh Studios was the company's executive vice president of studio operations Richard Nelson, who noted the significance of the occasion and Raleigh's move into Senoia and Georgia.
"What this facility means to Raleigh is that is gives us a great presence in Georgia. It's a great facility, it's kind of an under-utilized jewel. RiverWood and Scott [Tigchelaar] and Paul [Lombardi]'s company still exists. The studio now is managed by Raleigh Studios and it's a long-term management contract that we have to support the film industry in Georgia," Nelson said, also referring to the facility as Raleigh Studios at Riverwood.
"We hope to bring in a great entertainment environment that can really support all the productions, not just here at this facility, but anywhere you're shooting in the Atlanta area or Georgia. The difference is that when you come here you'll be able to get all of the resources that you need to take care of your motion picture or television show. It's all existing here. And it can be packaged all in one umbrella."
But beyond Georgia's burgeoning film industry, why should Raleigh establish a presence in Senoia? The answer, said Nelson, comes in one word: RiverWood.
"It worked out because with Scott and Paul and RiverWood, they had a great facility that was already here. We wanted to have a place to set up and it made perfect sense to come out here. They had the place, we had the contacts and connections in Los Angeles, so we hope this marriage can build an infrastructure down here in the southern part of Atlanta," Nelson said, adding that Raleigh's presence on the ground comes with a number of other companies that are central to the film industry.
"All of these guys here today have worked together for years. We have companies like ISS here, the biggest prop house in Los Angeles, Branam (Enterprises) trussing and Hollywood Rentals, the biggest lighting grip company in the country. All these companies will be on the ground here at this studio. So it's an entertainment process, more than bricks and mortar. When you look at doing your project you can get everything you need here. It helps create an enhanced film industry here. And that's the key."
Raleigh Studios Director of Marketing and Client Development Michael Newport explained what the long-term management agreement means for the company.
"For Raleigh it means we can set up our flag in Georgia. It's a great opportunity for us. We've done a lot of expansion lately and we know that Hollywood's moving out of California, they're moving to tax incentive areas so it's only smart for us to move where that direction is going. And (with Georgia's tax incentives) it's a great opportunity for us as well," Newport said.
Nelson agreed that the tax incentives offered by Georgia make a substantial difference in the financial considerations that were understandably linked to Raleigh's decision on RiverWood.
"We have a great opportunity with a wonderful tax credit," said Nelson. "Now you have to take advantage of that by building an infrastructure that supports it. And having companies that are very successful in L.A. and having great local companies all under one umbrella and to be able to develop a great crew base and synergy among everyone, that's what's going to sustain the opportunity that the tax credits have given."
In and out of the studio buildings during the open house were RiverWood co-owners Paul Lombardi and Scott Tigchelaar. Scott offered his thoughts on the economic potential that accompanies Raleigh's move to Senoia and the tax incentives now available in Georgia that is helping to bring the film industry to the state, a move in no small part thanks to Sen. Mitch Seabaugh.
"Movies are a huge economic shot in the arm and it happens instantly as soon as that movie starts up. So the more films that get shot in this area because of this infrastructure and because of the partners that are here to service that film, the better it is for the greater community. Money goes not just into this business, it goes into hotels, gas stations and restaurants. The economic impact is enormous. So we want everybody to get a piece of that," Tigchelaar said of the economic impact to Senoia, Coweta and Fayette counties.
"I think the high tide floats everybody's boat. Obviously, Fayette County has a base of hotels and restaurants for any production that's been here or in Peachtree City. Senoia is growing, and we can all see the benefits going on there attributed to the film industry."
Lombardi agreed, citing some of the ways that the film industry adds to the economic vitality of a community.
"The monetary ramifications locally are huge. The best part about the motion picture business is that it brings money to a community and wants nothing (from the community). It shoots the picture and it leaves. They're going to the restaurants, the cleaners, the hotels and grocery stores. They're doing everything everybody does. They're happy to do it when they have an environment they like. And they don't like it here, they love it," Lombardi said.
"These guys, as they travel around the area will get to know different places and will keep those places in mind when they need 'looks.' And that's what studios need, 'looks,' places like Starr's Mill. So they go for 'looks,' and while they're there they'll keep their eyes open for other locations in the area to be cost effective."
One of the new companies represented at the studio is Independent Studio Services, also known as ISS Props based in Sunland, Calif. The family-owned and -operated business of 33 years also has operations in six other states, now including Georgia. Company executive vice president Gregg Bilson took a few minutes from showing visitors some of the weapons used in various movies to give his take on establishing a presence in Senoia.
"I am rather smitten both with Senoia and Georgia. It's a great place to film. It's very business-friendly. The people are great. It offers an incredibly diverse filming environment. You can do 18th century, you can do 21st century and all points in between in a very, very friendly place to work," Bilson said. "We have a permanent facility right now, and as the industry grows so will our inventory and support services that we offer. There's nothing that we do today in Los Angeles that can't be in Georgia."
For his part, Lombardi sees the corporate "marriage" as something that is not easy to duplicate. Raleigh's long reach helps put the company in a good position, especially when cemented with RiverWood in the Georgia market.
"The marriage of RiverWood and Raleigh is an important thing for each individual company because its a win-win deal. Raleigh has a long history of running studios throughout the world. They have their hand on the pulse of the industry. What I mean by that is they know who is making movies, not just now but in six months and 16 months and 24 months. So they're working with a lot of people on projects that aren't even on the board," said Lombardi.
The new relationship between the companies also comes with a significant amount of Hollywood history. Perhaps unknown to some in the Coweta and Fayette area, Lombardi grew up around the motion picture industry, with his father, Joe, working with RKO and Desilu studios. Paul continued in the family business and, today, North Hollywood-based Full Scale Effects is the largest physical effects company in Hollywood.
Given his background, the idea and significance of history is front and center in Paul's thinking and in his business outlook for the marriage of RiverWood and Raleigh.
"You have people here that have been in the motion picture business, not for 10 years or 15 years, but for generations. And with that long life in the industry there are relationships that are developed, like any other business," Lombardi explained, citing a couple of examples. "I've known one of the Raleigh principles for over 30 years, ISS for over 20 years. My business, Full Scale Effects, has been in business many, many years. So we bring all this stuff together.
"And what's so cool about this is that these guys are really into it, I mean really into it and they love the town. And the way the town dovetails into the studio is very, very interesting. Frankly, I didn't really appreciate it as much as I should have because I'm looking at it from one perspective (as a long-time resident of Senoia). These guys are coming, never having seen the place, with a clean slate, and they're saying, 'Wow, look at this. This is beautiful, everybody's so nice to us.' These guys coming in have been all over the world. They've been there, done that, seen it all. And they come here and say, 'This is really cool.'"
Though Lombardi and Tigchelaar have been lived and worked in and around Senoia and have also been involved in its commercial and residential development for quite some time, the two in no way resemble what many would consider as being so directly connected to Hollywood. The two are about as laid back as it comes and much more likely to be seen around town in shorts and sandals.
Anyone who knows the duo also knows they care about their city. An example of that is in their most recent commercial building at Seavy and Main. Though constructed to "look" 100 years old, the three-story building was also constructed to withstand an F-5 tornado.
And Nelson in his comments at Saturday's open house didn't fail to mention the two and their outlook on their hometown.
"One of the real treats for us to be here is the partnership with Paul Lombardi and Scott Tigchelaar. They're terrific people and they have such a passion for the film industry and the local community," Nelson said with a smile. "They care about what's good, and what's good about creating a great environment here. And every one of the vendors are excited about helping them be successful in this community. It's because of the people they are and how much the success of this project and the success of this community means to them. It's a great environment and very rare. You don't come across that as much as you should these days. They're special people, and Paul's passion for making it right is very infectious. We're proud to be a part of it."
The longest continually operating studio in the United States, Raleigh Studios operates in Hollywood, Playa Vista, Manhattan Beach, Baton Rouge, Budapest and now, Senoia. Support services operating out of the Senoia studio include Hollywood Rentals, Branam Enterprises, Hollywood Trucks, ISS Props, Cat Entertainment Services, Full Scale Effects, Radish, Movie Rags, Laurent's Catering and, perhaps as important as any service, tax credit financing.
A mainstay of the Senoia area while operating as RiverWood and now as Raleigh, the studio features a number of amenities of which many area residents might be unaware.
Those include four sound stages ranging from 7,500-15,000 square feet and with 2,400-amp power to all stages, a 10,000 square-foot mill and production space, a 140x24-foot Cyc (Cyclorama) wall, 18,000 square feet of office space, make-up and dressing rooms, more than 100 acres of back lot that includes a six-acre lake and two creeks and close proximity to Hartsfield Airport.
Let me start by saying I'm a 24 year resident of Senoia, my home is 156 years old.
I personally like what the "movie people" for lack of a better term have been doing to our town.
My life has never been disrupted by a movie shoot, even when it's been in my house.
The development that it has brought has been of the highest quality, while keeping the charm
of our city.
However, I am deeply offended by Mr. Nelson comment.
"down here in the southern part of Atlanta," Nelson said,"
He started off on the wrong foot, that right there is the biggest insult he could have said and
If he considers Senoia south Atlanta, we and I say we because I'm sure I speak for most
Senoia residents, DON'T WANT HIM AROUND. Maybe Mr. Tigchelaar and Mr. Lombardi
can educate him before he offends anyone else.
Are they going to be shooting porn or something? What's the big concern about our neighbors in Senoia and whether they are going to like this or not?
I think Senoia can handle its own affairs probably a lot better than PTC at this point. After all, when Senoia came to PTC with hat(and money) in hand wanting some sewer access, the Brown regime told them to go pound sand even though WASA was totally for it and made a financial case of how it would benefit both WASA and PTC. THen, they got double the capacity from Coweta so they can develop twice as much. Does anyone think that Senoia really gives a damn about what a bunch of PTC/FC residents think in any event?
Give Mark Holumns of DAPC now and candidate for Council then as being one of the few to publically come out in support of the idea of extending sewer to Senoia.
The movie "Zombieland" with a pretty solid budget and "major motion picture release" did filming in downtown Newnan for a month or so and I don't remember hearing about that disrupting everyone's lives and causing great consternation. Matter of fact, when I saw the movie and recognized downtown Newnan in a lot of scenes, it was a big surprise to me because I had never heard that parts were filmed there to begin with.
In any event, I'm sure Senoia will manage to survive a few independent films being made in their city or they'll do something about it. Or not. Who cares? Nice to see that everything is so nice we can worry about Senoia and whether they are doing what WE think they should.
Just who said anyone was "worrying" about them and where has anyone said anything about them "doing what WE think they should"? You are obviously reading what you want to see into comments that have not really been made. Not much value in that.
First comment is how the whole city is going to be "raped" by this event and then you assuming on the reasons why a lot of people live in Senoia to begin with and how this will be a disruption to that.
Maybe there are a lot of people in Senoia that live there because it's cheaper than living in a lot of other areas? Maybe they live there because they have no other viable options? Maybe they like Senoia and grew up there and will never leave? Maybe they like Senoia but would like to see some more growth/convenience? Maybe they actually LIKE this whole moviemaking studio being active? Maybe they don't have an opinion yet since nothing has changed at all yet for them and they are waiting to see if this is "good" or bad?"
What I don't see is people from Senoia posting here about "this is great" or "this sux!" but I see FC out already making declarations for them, even though there has been zero mention of how any of this will affect anyone and whether there will even be an actual movie filmed in Senoia in the first place.
I'm just guessing, but I bet a number of Senoia citizens are not too happy to see this happen--chances are, many of them moved there, hoping to escape just such activity and what it may bring with it. They treasure the laid-back peace and quiet that Senoia promoted in order to attract folks to move there.
"hoping to escape just such activity and what it may bring with it."
From what I've seen the businesses and the 'just plain folk' love the attention.
The film crews and actors spend their money locally and Senoia gets the credit.
Good for them.
Senoia's film studio has been there for years, they are just joining forces with the big guys and bringing in that big buck and no telling what else, it will make for some interesting stores.
Yep it amazes me and nothing I can do about it. Just goes to show ya.
Bet I could give you a list the length of which would fill up this arena and not enough room to even begin. O don't you just know who is in bed with these folks. And it will come out eventually after some good folks are screwed and the 'will be's' stuff their pockets.
Wow normal what a comment, got your finger in the pie have ya!
Please dont we know these outfits are ? The money that will change hands the deals that will be made, welcome to hollywood you naive southern nitwits.
You are such a pig today. Bet you felt better after that comment.

Telltales' The Walking Dead has been discounted by 50 percent on Steam until 11am PT / 6pm GMT today.
The £10.49 / $12.50 USD package contains the full 5 episodes season, which has players taking the role of convicted criminal Lee Everett, who's given a second chance at life in a world devastated by the undead.
So far the series has sold 8.5 million episodes during the first seven months of availability.
TellTale CEO Dan Connors told Red Bull UK this month that the studio is looking at ways to implement users' season 1 choices in a forthcoming second season.
"We are definitely figuring out how to carry the saves over," he said.
