I didn't cook Thanksgiving dinner on Thursday. My husband, daughter and I went to a restaurant in Richmond Hill that offered all the traditional holiday fare at a reasonable price. It was the first time in my life I did not eat a home-cooked meal on Thanksgiving.
We believe that every day should be about recycling. It's one easy action that everyone can do to help our environment. But America Recycles Day, celebrated Nov. 15 this year, is designated to educate and motivate people on recycling.
Editor, To SPLOST or not to SPLOST - that was the question ... and SPLOST lost! The citizens of Liberty County finally got tired of unconstrained spending and spoke up the only way they could - through the ballot box.
Editor, An editorial cartoon by R. McKee serves as a modern take on the old Hans Christian Anderson tale about the emperor who was swindled by to weavers who promise to make him a suit of clothes that is invisible to people who are stupid and incompetent. When the emperor and his cabinet members cannot see the clothes, they pretend to be able to see them for fear of being deemed unfit for their positions. In reality, the swindlers only pretended to make the suit and clothe the emperor. He isn't wearing anything.
Editor, Today, I was nursing Gauge, my 2-month old son, at the Dunkin' Donuts in Hinesville. I have nursed in public like this numerous times. I sat in the corner and even had my friend stand in front of me to make sure nobody saw anything. As I was leaving and getting Gauge buckled into his car seat, an employee followed me to my car and told me that from now on when I nursed in the donut shop, I needed to cover up because customers complained.
Back in 1966, Bobby Fuller sang about, "Robbin' people with a six-gun, I fought the law and the law won." And rightfully so - robbery is a crime. But what happens when it's the law doing the robbing and the law wins?
On my "to-do" list last week was a reminder to call former Gov. Carl Sanders and see if he had any thoughts on how to get the field at Sanford Stadium named for UGA's former coach and athletic director Vince Dooley. I knew he would like the idea and perhaps could jerk a few chains I seem to have been unable to rattle thus far.
I love this time of year. All the lights and decorations really can make our community look pretty. It would be wonderful if we all made that kind of effort all year long.
It started accidentally. Some good ideas and memorable moments are like that. They aren't planned. They're born, bringing with them an ability to nudge a way naturally into our lives and become a tradition.
Moms want everything and nothing at all. We want to be everywhere at once and also nowhere to be found. We want to impress everyone, handle every chore imaginable and spend every waking second bonding with our children. We also want to totally escape from life. Failure to accomplish this leads to immense guilt and, occasionally, foul moods.
Editor, In my humble opinion, the failure of the Special Purpose Local Option Sales Tax was not a criticism of the tax, but rather of the excessive - and perhaps arrogant - spending of our tax dollars by our elected officials. The threat of the new Transportation SPLOST, another tax, was maybe another factor.
Editor, "it's gr8 dy.h.a mtg @ d mal l8r"
Editor's note: U.S. Rep. Buddy Carter, R-Georgia, and other area elected officials will contribute periodic columns during the upcoming legislative sessions. This is a report about orientation that he went through last week.
I was on St. Simons Island last week, scarfing down massive amounts of corn-fried shrimp at the exquisite little Georgia Sea Grill, when someone came to the table to inquire if Junior E. Lee had finished his analysis of the recent election. That really puffed up Junior when I told him.
Editor, Why did SPLOST fail? Just take a look at the article in Sunday's Coastal Courier: "City council looks at property-tax increase."
Creating an attractive Liberty County is good for all of us who live here. Attractive and clean communities attract new businesses and residents, and are healthier places for all of us to grow and thrive.
It happens all the time: Tink will meet someone new around where we live and, invariably, that person will mention my daddy.
"Clerk" is a commonplace term used to describe a variety of vocations, referring to persons who sell goods, wait on customers or engage in any type of clerical work, such as bookkeeping, copying and even running a cash register in a checkout line. Black's Law Dictionary defines "clerk" as the "officer of court who files pleadings, motions, judgments, etc., issues processes and keeps records of court proceedings," thus more aptly describing the functions of the 159 elected clerks of superior court in this state.
Every 67 seconds, someone in the United States develops Alzheimer's disease. By 2050, someone in the United States will develop the disease every 33 seconds.
It has been 31 years since he passed away, and not a day goes by that I don't miss him, especially on Father's Day.
The transportation bill received much attention this past legislative session, and rightfully so. It doesn't take long for one to drive anywhere in Georgia before noticing that our roads, interstates, and bridges are in terrible disrepair.
You may be surprised to learn that people sometimes disagree with me. You may be equally surprised that sometimes I see their point in the disagreement. Sometimes, I agree with that disagreement.
Many years ago, at the conclusion of the longest criminal jury trial in Liberty County's history, I overheard an attorney's son, who sat through several days of presentation of evidence during the trial, tell his father that, of all the jobs of court officials involved, he wanted my job as clerk of superior court.
Are you planning your summer vacation? I hope you don't think you have to toss out all your good green and sustainable habits when you travel!
Editor, The following is written in response to your article on June 10, 2015, discussing the indictment of Crystal Tilley. The Coastal Courier called the City of Walthourville earlier in the week seeking comments on the indictment. Then, as now, it would have been inappropriate for the city to officially comment on this matter. There is an ongoing criminal case, and current city officials and employees may be witnesses or called to give testimony.
Editor, Locked out!

900 issues of Detective Comics and it is pretty good (but pricey)
Note: due to this being so big I will break each story into different sections.
I have been enjoying this series a lot since Layman joined and it has become one of my favourites being consistently a good read with strong characterization and a fun plot and when I heard that this would be issue 900 I wandered what Layman would do with the extra sized story and if he'd make it worthy of being issue 900 also I wanted to see what the extras at the back were like and if they were good enough for this book.
The 900
The 900 block of Gotham everyone who lives in it are turned to Man-bats and the disease is slowly spreading out, Batman goes to fight them and tries to find a cure but when he calls for help from the rest of the Bat family they do not respond.
Man bat birth of a Family
Francine Langstrom mourns her husband and talks about his life and what he did
War Council
Bane prepares his army and tells them about their new enemy the court of owls and what he has against them.
Mr Combustible raids Gotham during the Man-bat attack.
Through a blue lens
Some cops discuss their view of Batman after the Man-bat epidemic.
The 900
This was a good story and was an interesting tale and well it reintroduced a classic Batman villain and yes as seen on the other side of the gate-fold cover it's Man-bat but the way we lead up to that is interesting. This is the main plot of the book and the one that all save the Bane story tie-in to so obviously this has to be the story with the most punch it does have that as it's a big action scene with quite a few twists in it as the case with the Man-bat epidemic and what Batman does and what he runs into. This is a fun story with a lot of interesting twists and it re-introduces a major Batman villain to the DC U but now on to a more detailed review of it.
What Layman packs into the story isn't just about the Man-bat plot it is the first book I have actually seen show the aftermath of DOTF and I thank Layman for doing this as I was disappointed when this wasn't covered over in Batman although I feel the reaction of the two characters that appear is a little forced but I'm still happy this happened even if the characterisation is a little off in one of them but it maybe because of how much he was hurt by the Joker's attack.
The actual reveal of the 900 is brilliant I never thought this would be what it was but it is central to the story and I never suspected it is what it is and I thought it was a lot of things. Basically (Spoiler but I warned you) the 900 is a block in Gotham a load of people living there who are honest hardworking people so Batman never goes there. This is an interesting plot twist as loads of people live there people there are a lot of Man-bats and this makes for a large action scene across the 900 block opening up like every issue that has come in Layman's run with a two page spread and this is no different with Batman in armour with a sonic gun blasting away the Man-bat it looks amazing.
I do have a problem with how this is structured though because the first page shows Man-bats a lot of them this is the prologue to the book and yes the first page will shock you and you will want to read on from page 1 but there is a scene later where a baby and its mother turn into Man-bats and the thing is due to you seeing the Man-bats on the first page you know what is going to happen and well it takes away from the scene which would have been fantastic if it was in the opener of the book.
The plot with Zsaz continues in this issue and I guess this isn't a spoiler since it's on the other side of the gate-fold cover but he becomes a Man-bat and obviously Batman gets in a fight with him the fight is short lived because Batman manages to knock him out but still the twist is interesting but spoilt by the cover and you could kind of guess this was going to happen anyway as even without the cover this would seem the most sensible thing to do with this plot and also you know Ogivily was playing with him last issue. So this part was spoilt by the cover and a bit predictable so while the fight was interesting the effect was spoilt by how predictable this was.
There is also an appearance of Batwoman in this issue and well she does play an important role with the outcome of this book but she literally disappears after she does what she does and we don't see her at the end of this story I think she could have been used better in this story and we could have at least scene her go off rather than completely disappear. When I say Batwoman affects the outcome of the book it is because she brings Kirk Langstrom who created the Man-bat formula to Batman and well he sacrifices himself (Spoiler) for the city and everyone who has become a Man-bat and becomes Man-bat this was what I think made it worthy of being issue 900 the reintroduction of a classic villain to the DC U in an emotional way and well it's a touching way to do it. I realise some people will be annoyed by the fact that this is another continuity shake up but I don't mind really he's man-bat now and who's to say we couldn't see the origin here. I don't know how to explain this exactly but there is some continuity mix up in this in this Man-bat was created by Kirk Langstrom who only created recently so the question is who has Talia Al Ghul got in Batman Inc I have several answers to this
1. Layman mucked this up and couldn't find a good enough timeline to explain this
2. The editors made Layman do this story for the 900th issue and Layman and the editors couldn't find a good enough timeline
3. Where is Batman Inc in continuity anyway? I know that Damian's death had a big effect and there are several editors notes in this talking about Batman Inc (all very annoying and distracting) I mean basically Batman Inc was continued straight from the old DC U and Grant Morrison was allowed to do what he wanted because if you have been reading Batman Inc there are several moments that could only have happened in the old DC U. So really should Batman Inc matter for this issue because it ties in some ways to the old DC U
4. This is another example of how mucked up the DC U is and this was basically unavoidable for this story.
Those are my theories for it although I still need some answers for this as it is quite confusing.
Fabok's art is on a whole other level to his previous stuff in this issue all the inks in this issue especially on the first few pages look very smooth and the way he draws the Man-bats making them look creepy in this issue is amazing and the splash page on the first page is amazing it looks so good in full detail with the moon in the background. Fabok's art all round looks great with the facial expressions looking excellent and the detail on buildings is incredible. Fabok's art still is very dynamic and striking throughout even in the smaller panels of this book. Fabok's Batman is amazing always having a presence on the page and very shadowy while still looking very powerful a lot like the way Jim Lee does it while still looking different. Fabok is my favourite Batman artist it's not that Capullo or Burnham are bad at all there art is fantastic as well but Fabok's style of art appeals to me the most very detailed and fairly realistic while still looking shadowy for Batman I hope Fabok is on Batman for a long time to come. Jeremy Cox did a great job on this as well brining some very nice bold striking colours to the book making everything look 3 dimensional and it looks does a lot to help Fabok's already 3 dimensional artwork this is a perfect artist colourist pair up.
This was a good story definitely not the best part of Layman's run but continuity problems aside this is an enjoyable story with some amazing artwork and I will say it this story is worth being the main story of the 900th issue of Detective comics even with a few problems this story can still be enjoyed by everybody and even though it uses plots from previous issues it still is fairly new reader friendly.

Man bat Birth of a Family
This part acts as an epilogue to the main story with Man-bat but it also fills in some background details on Kirk Langstrom and his wife Francine and how they met. This is an interesting story leaving things on a shocking cliff-hanger which I have now doubt will be continued soon as it really is something that can't be left for too long.
This gives us some simple backstory on Kirk and Francine Langstrom and we find out how they met and what kind of a person they both were. What this story tries to do is paint Kirk Langstrom in a different light a slightly better one but also shows the negative parts of him. We see he is determined to help deaf kids with his serum and improve their hearing but of course we see the negative side i.e. the kids are turned into man-bats and Kirk covers it up this is an 8 page story and it does give some interesting background to the story and what happens it is also nice to see what Francine thinks of her husband and I like we see it from her POV. When I say it helps to put Kirk Langstrom in both a negative and positive light we definitely see the negative side poking through as well by the look of it he's driven Francine a bit mad and insane this maybe that she was always like it but because of the ending she is a bit mad I want to see more of this explored as there is a lot of potential for a future story arc like this. There is nothing really going on in this backup it adds background to the book and then we end up with the fantastic ending it just didn't progress the story that much.
Andy Clark produces some fantastic artwork in this backup feature with some very texturized lines to show shadows and different materials I love Clarke's art it just is so different from most artwork and well the amount of detail in his artwork is amazing he really nailed every aspect of this backup but mostly the facial expressions they are really realistic and well you can tell what each character is thinking every time also his drawing of Man-bat does look very good and fairly creepy. I do however have an issue with how Francine Langstrom she doesn't look how she did in the main story she looks a bit like Barbara Gordon it is a minor issue but a bit distracting.
This was an interesting story providing some interesting background to the story but nothing really happens apart from the ending but this is a nice epilogue to the main story and it gave an idea of what Kirk and Francine Langstrom are like showing the good and bad points of Kirk Langstrom.

Bane in war council
This is the story in this book that feels out of place the other 4 all deal with the Man-bat plot but this feels very disconnected as it is about Bane and it is a prelude to his appearance in Talon in Talon #7 but when a story is this good I don't really mind how out of place it is. I don't buy Talon I'll admit that I definitely will get it in hardcover but I don't buy the series although I do keep up with what is going on in it and I know that Bane is going to appear in the next issue of Talon and that he's after the Court of Owls. Bane is one of my favourite villains and while I didn't read the Dark Knight I know he wasn't treated great but this looks to restore him to his true glory as a great tactician but an also a brute force because he is ridiculously strong and powerful. For Bane fans the upcoming Talon arc looks to be fantastic as the teaser in this story really is interesting and you can tell he's going to get the Court of Owls in a big way.
We see at the beginning what Bane has done on Santa Prisca and what army he's built to attack the Court and take over Gotham what he has assembled is impressive basically what he's put together is impressive and well the people he has in his army are scary and well if he's sending those in to Gotham I'd hate to see the result. You only get glimpses as to what Bane has planned I'm sure he has more than we are shown but I like what we see here and I shudder to think what else he has planned.
We find out in this issue what Bane has against the Court of Owls and there are two incidents that push him to do this the first is he's attacked by the Talons and then in a truly brutal fight which will please all Bane fights he kills them all. Then this is after the events in Dark Knight we see Bane visited by a shadowy figure who shows Bane an Owl mask. I have no idea who this character is I probably need to read the Talon series to even get an idea of who it will be but I'm interested in who it is and this added to the level of intrigue already presented in this backup which is used a lot to build up to the upcoming story and this works well in this story as it is meant to be prelude to the story and should only really just get you interested in the story not the first part of the story just a prelude and Tynion uses it to great effect in this story.
Mikel Janin does a great job on Justice League Dark and he does a fantastic job here as well showing the same level of detail he usually goes but making Bane look distinctly powerful and strong with a presence on the page while not overdoing the size of his muscles everything is nicely balanced out here. Also the way he handles light and dark areas is phenomenal he really nailed it on this story and he still does a fantastic job with the facial expressions in this story he really is a fantastic artist and one of the best out there.
This may feel out of place in the book but the quality of story here is phenomenal while I cannot afford the upcoming Talon story it looks fantastic and this was a great little teaser to the upcoming events not starting off the story but focusing on Bane showing why he wants to get the Court and what he has in his arsenal.
4.5 stars
I'm not familiar with Mr Combustible sufficed to say I don't like his look it's a bit ridiculous but I do like this short tale as it provides an insight into what the reason for the 900 is and also continues the Penguin story as he is locked up in Blackgate it is a good story filling in the gaps of the main story and also continuing the story of another plot line.
Basically we see Mr Combustible rob a jewellery shop with his gang and this happens across Gotham but with different villains all under the order of Emperor Penguin. That is the reason for the 900 more a distraction for Ogivily to become very rich and while this may not sound like the most original of ideas it fits the character. I like Ogivily he makes for an interesting villain and the story that has been going through Layman's run has been intriguing and I like how he is different from Penguin as Penguin goes for smaller plots and Ogivily goes for big and explosive moves that affect a lot of people (the 900) and while you can tell he's going to get his comeuppance soon enough it's fun to see this new villain having a play in Gotham and taking down Penguin.
The plot with the Penguin is continued in this issue and (Spoiler) it looks like he'll be out of Blackgate next issue I do feel this is a little soon for it but this still isn't confirmed to happening but it's 90% sure to happen although I may be wrong. The plot itself in this issue is interesting because we see how manipulative the Penguin can be and the connection he has to other people that will help him to get out. I do however feel that there is a little flaw which is Penguin gets Mr Combustible to scare and threaten his judge so that when in the morning we have the trial he is clearly frightened to death why doesn't anyone noticed minor floor yes but it stuck out a bit too much to me.
Henrik Jonsson I'm not a fan of his art it just looks to jagged on the faces Penguin just looks downright ugly in this I realise he isn't the prettiest person in the world but in this his face just looks to sharp and jagged and this appears on a lot of people but it is most noticeable on Penguin. I have to say he does handle the facial expressions pretty well apart from the judge where he literally looks like he desperately needs the toilet it's a little over the top. Jonsson does do a good job with the Man-bat who looks very scary in this and fairly creepy so well done Jonsson for that.
This was a good backup continuing a plot but also answering a much needed question in a predictable but definitely acceptable way it focuses on a villain and he provided some good insight into what happened during the 900. The art however wasn't great though it was to jagged and angular on faces even though some parts were pretty good.
4 stars
Through a blue lens
This is an interesting story basically looking at Batman through the eyes of a group of Police officers telling us what they each think about Batman I do like this kind of story although I feel it can only be used in backup stories like these as you couldn't make it an entire issue but this is a nice done in one story and it is used to good affect showing a more negative view on Batman and a more positive view which are both perfectly valid and nicely explained in this story.
The negative view on Batman is based on the fact that he gets in the Police's way and has no respect for them and won't let them do their job. This explored as one of the policemen is in hospital after being a Man-bat and the police officers are laughing about the police officer attacking Batman when he was Man-bat and how he should have cut him properly. This is an interesting point that is explored nicely in this issue and well it makes for an interesting conversation between the police officer that like Batman. I also like how it continues with a character that met Batman earlier and how Layman developed him more and also made him the negative person about Batman it was interesting and his view was nicely explained.
The positive view is very nicely explained as well I have to agree with the more positive as she sees the reason that Batman is good and her point is also valid but also what was nice was the Man-bat police officers explanation at why he likes Batman it's a touching moment where the two police officers share a bonding moment and well it's nice to see after this issue something nice has come out of it.
I do get the feeling though this story was just put in to fill the pages and although it's a nice little story I don't think it's necessary and it felt a little like filler.
Jason Masters artwork is alright and although I like the smoothness of it but it just lacks detail and some of the panels just look downright awkward with the facial expression especially with some of the police officers. Also Batman doesn't look that shadowy a little too bright at points so that wasn't great. Masters artwork is good in the end but I still think he needs to improve quite a bit with faces.
This was a nice story with an interesting view on this story and on Batman in general and I like this kind of story but it felt a little fillery also the art isn't that good but still this is an interesting story and it was nice to see a different view on Batman
4 stars
Art Pin ups
There are 8 pin ups in this book each by a different artist who have all worked on Batman before they are Alex Maleev, Brett Booth, Chris Burnham, Jason Fabok, Andy Clarke, Francesco Francivilla, Cameron Stewart and Dustin Nguyen. Almost all of these pin up are good save two of them which I will discuss in a minute but first my favourite this is a close tie between Alex Maleev's and Jason Fabok's pin up Maleev's because it is incredibly gritty looking and it's a wonderful two page spread with an interesting composition that shows Batman looking over Gotham with the Bat signal on but also the colours by Nathan Fairbun are very nice creating a moody atmosphere. Jason Fabok's because it is a striking image of the Dark Knight harkening back to what Jim Lee would do with smoke coming out of Gotham and Batman standing in a striking pose covered in shadows but not totally shadowy it really is very impressive and highly detailed. Chris Burnham's comes third because it is a funny image showing Talia Al Ghul and Damian about to cut off Batman's head while he is in chains it harkens back to the old Batman and Robin covers by Frank Quietly and it's simple but effective and it shows the three's relationship well and in a funny way. My 4th favourite is Fransesco Francivilla's which has some nice colours in it and the idea for it is good but it's not the most interesting of them and it isn't as detailed as the others. My 5th favourite is Dustin Nguyen's which is a nice tribute to the Killing Joke's but it is nowhere near as striking as the others although it is still a nice image with some nice water colours. My 6th favourite is Andy Clarke's it's a nice image and it's nicely coloured and drawn but it's a bit bland compared to some of the others as it's just Batman in a slightly hunched position it's still a nice bit of art but it's not the most interesting. My least favourites are Brett Booth's because while the idea is nice and the cover is striking Batman's facial expression is off he's happy while beating up Clayface (which is what is being depicted) and Batman is cheerful in a fight it just felt wrong but the image is striking but still him smiling just bugged me a bit. Cameron Stewarts is my least favourite because well the choice of perspective is good but Batman's pose just looked awkward also it doesn't have a lot of detail but still the pose is the most distracting part of it.
So the order of how much I like the pinups is….
1. Jason Fabok (it's pretty close with Maleev)
2. Alex Maleev
3. Chris Burnham
4. Fransesco Francivilla
5. Dustin Nguyen
6. Andy Clarke
7. Brett Booth
8. Cameron Stewart
All of the pin ups are good none of them I hate I just prefer some of them over others.
Overall verdict
I'm not sure if this should have been $7.99 but all together this is a solid bunch of stories to celebrate 900 issues of Detective Comics my favourite is the Bane story but they're all good this is a good continuation of the series and it's fairly new reader friendly at least the first story is. If you've got some spare cash get this issue as it's got all of content and the pin ups are good but really everyone should give this series a try since Layman has come on it is consistently a solid book and always very enjoyable.

NEW YORK – Just when New York Knicks fans thought the worst season in franchise history couldn't get any worse, it did. After watching superstar Carmelo Anthony shut things down with a knee injury and his constantly changing teammates stagger to a 17-65 mark – the second-worst record in the league – the Knicks dropped two spots to fourth overall in Tuesday night's NBA draft lottery. General manager Steve Mills summed it up for the team's title-starved fans watching at home, bowing
PODCAST: Pelicans risk losing Anthony Davis through firing of Monty Williams
The bad news for Monty Williams was good news for the rest of the NBA. There is now a strong chance that Anthony Davis leaves New Orleans and becomes an unrestricted free agent in the summer of 2017. That is the ultimate fallout from Tuesday's shocking news that the Pelicans had fired Williams after he led them to the Western Conference playoffs, where they were swept by the Golden State Warriors. The firing came a mere two weeks after owner Tom Benson
Hubbard: Good choices turn bad for the Mavericks
In the four years since their unlikely 2010-11 championship season, the Mavericks have made the playoffs three times, missed them once, but have not advanced past the first round. In those three playoff series, they have a 4-12 record. That record has made them the poster children for second-guessers because after winning the title, owner Mark Cuban and general manager Donnie Nelson decided to gamble on greatness rather than being deluded by a perfect storm. The criticism of the Mavericks – particularly
Scotto: Mikhail Prokhorov's Midlife Crisis
BROOKLYN – Mikhail Prokhorov will reportedly be in Turkey on Sunday celebrating his 50th birthday with legions of $20,000 models hoping to console him after his American playtoy's season came to a crashing halt at the hands of the Atlanta Hawks in Game 6 Friday night. So what does the unabashed playboy do with this broken playtoy? A little more than five years ago, Prokhorov vowed to bring a championship to Brooklyn or get married if that didn't happen within five years. Now,
Scotto: Brook Lopez Shines with Free Agency Decision Looming
BROOKLYN – You can't spell Brooklyn without "Brook," and the Nets couldn't win Game 3 without Lopez. The big question after this big game: What will the big man do this summer when he has a chance to become an unrestricted free agent? It remains an open question. The 7-footer led the Nets with 22 points, 13 rebounds and two blocks in 42 minutes with the season essentially on the line. By getting the win, Brooklyn avoided the daunting task of attempting
PODCAST: Michael Scotto on 2015 and 2016 Free Agency
Five top sleeper free agents are all playing in the playoffs with the hope of cashing in big this summer as I outlined in a previous SheridanHoops column. With the NBA projected to increase the salary cap to roughly $90 million in 2016, teams will spend big this summer with the hope those deals will be bargains in retrospect once the new salary cap kicks in. Despite the anticipated gold rush for free agents in 2016, there are some players who would
Scotto: Top Five Free Agent Sleepers of 2015
Many teams are preparing for a free agency bonanza in the summer of 2016 when the salary cap is projected to rise to roughly $90 million with stars such as Kevin Durant, LeBron James, Chris Paul, Dwight Howard, Joakim Noah, etc. all potentially be available. However, teams that aren't in the running for a superstar in 2016 will spend big this summer on players who are valuable but not household names. Any deal signed this summer will ultimately be considered below
Scotto: Brandon Knight Dishes on Free Agency and the Suns
BROOKLYN – Suns general manager Ryan McDonough eagerly awaited Brandon Knight in the hallway with a wide smile and a high five after he delivered the dagger to help Phoenix beat the Brooklyn Nets 108-100 Friday night at Barclays Center. Knight snatched a defensive rebound with 40 seconds to go in overtime, slowly dribbled up the court and initiated a pick-and-roll with Brandan Wright and six seconds left on the shot clock. Knight got by Jarrett Jack, then used a crossover

When a weddings as gorgeous as this one from Lindsay Madden lands in our lap, I kind of want to cry with happiness. Because it's not everyday we get to bask in this kind of beauty. Planned to perfection by Rosalina Torres with gorgeous florals from Blanco By Mara and stunning stationery from Julie Song Ink (I'm pinning every piece the moment this goes live), this gallery is pure bliss.
From Lindsay Madden Photography…Oh how I love shooting weddings in the Caribbean! I'm a beach girl at heart and love nothing more than soft sand and clear blue water. So when Adlin reached out to me about photographing her destination wedding in Puerto Rico, I was beyond excited. Adlin and Matt were married on a lovely October day on top of a cliff which provided the most breathtaking views of the Caribbean Sea and Palomino Island. Adlin and Matt envisioned their wedding day to be intimate, unique and centered around their family and friends. Adlin knew exactly what she wanted design wise and she teamed up with Rosalina Torres to bring her vision to life. Adlin and Matt chose the colors blush and gold for almost everything. This pastel pallet complimented the light blue and green hues of the Caribbean Sea. Adlin asked her three sisters to be her bridesmaids and they all looked gorgeous in their blush pink Twobirds bridesmaids dresses. Their look was pulled together with a simple bouquet of white roses created by Blanco by Mara. Adlin's lace Monique Lhullier wedding dress was perfection and I loved her Twigs & Honey headpiece. Adlin and Matt's cocktail hour and reception were held outside and guests enjoyed a lovely seated dinner first and then danced the night away. I had a wonderful time capturing Adlin and Matt's destination wedding in Puerto Rico and I hope to return soon!

I just talked to investor relations at
BKS and here is the skinny on the IPO as it related
to current B&N shareholders:
as far as IPO shares are concerned, not even an
opportunity to get in at the IPO price. BKS.com is being
created as a separate entity wherby B&N and Betlessman
are selling a stake in the online operation which
they currently own jointly. The only benefit to
current B&N shreholders will be any implied value in the
stock price from having a 40-45% ownership of BKS.com
(which is the money losing division of B&N as we all
know). When i asked firther as to how will losses or at
some point profits from BKS.com affect B&N bottom line
in the future, I was told that this has not been
exactly worked out yet. The bottom line is that any price
appreciation in the stock of B&N as a result of the IPO will
be an implied one based on how Wall Street and
individual investors value the 45% stake in theonline
operation once it is spun off. As a current shareholder I
am wondering whether to take my money and run, in
light of this news. Shareholders,let me know your
In the past I might have said you were crazy, but
with current internet frenzy you just might be right.
We have internet companies with almost no sales, yet
thier market caps. are in the $billions.
BKS to
$100.00, lets just hope and pray.
Good Investing.
It's called a "short squeeze" and they'll rule
all the way to my bank. By the way, who is your
"source"? Probably been talking to Jerry Garcia while
you're on acid again. (Sorry Jerry, you know I'll always
miss you).
Cover while you can loser, 100 here
we come, it's been worth the wait.
I still haven't seen anyone else comment on how
positive the Barron's article will be for BKS
shareholders. This may confirm that the company spinning off
another should be valued higher. This would be a great
investment mood switch and help catapult BKS way past it's
52 week high.
-- pitch
I scanned the board and didn't see anyone mention
the Barron's article yet. I consider this to be very
big news, but haven't seen anyone commment on it yet.
I'll give my feedback.
Barron's had an article
this morning on all the companies that are vastly
undervalued because they hold large stakes in other
companies. They gave the obvious recent example, Ziff Davis
(ZD), but mentioned many more companies like American
This is very big news for BKS shareholders. The
sentiment might be changing that the holding companies
should be valued much higher. The entire investment
community reads Barrons as though it were their Bible.
PERFECT TIMING!!!! The next obvious example is Barnes and
Noble's huge stake in barnesandnoble.com
won out for us!!!! I'm holding on tight to my
Congratulations LONGS!!!

You write in hysterical capitals,talk total BS
rubbish about"credible sources"--your are one of the just
so typical amateur idiots that scum up the Yahoo

You don't name your source, so your post is
worthless. They will IPO this sooner or later what's the
Look at the volume increasing on Wed,
Thur & Fri with the gap up Friday. The market is

This link came from the Shoney's board where a
couple of posters have made similar outlandish and
damaging statements. They may soon get a chance to reveal
their "credible source" in court.
Your FEAR is showing.
short in a month and make money....but then again it may not see the mid thirties again!
If your info is correct which I highly doubt,cover quick we'll go higher soon after.
I have a credible source that tells me HIS credible source is Eleanor Roosevelt. He, Hilary and Eleanor have been holding seances again!
