What do you do when you already have the greatest player of the most recent generation and the man who could become the greatest player of the next generation? If you're the Angels, you sign what may be the most talented hitter of the current generation. Josh Hamilton switched AL West addresses this winter thanks to a 5 year, $133 million deal. When he's on, Hamilton crushes the ball, particularly out of the yard. When he's off though, as he was most of the second half and as the season wound down, it can get ugly. The other risks are also well known. He's struggled with injuries in his career, and that plus his personal issues could make him an old 32. The Angels are betting that those will be long term concerns at worst and not an issue in 2013.
Add Hamilton to that lineup, and well, it could be fireworks. Mike Trout's awesomeness is known throughout the land now, and he while his 2012 level is too much to ask, he'll be up among the best in baseball again. Albert Pujols's contract is still a long-term issue, but for now he can still hit 30 homers and OPS .900. Mark Trumbo is yet another 30 homer guy who should benefit from a full year at his natural position. The rest of the lineup is full of average to above average guys who get on base at a good clip. The exception is Bourjos, but he provides plenty of value as arguably the best defensive center field in the game (good enough to move Trout to left), so anything he adds with the bat is only a plus. The whole team defends excellently, leading the league in defensive efficiency in 2012, and moving Trumbo to DH full-time can only help.
Unfortunately, the rotation has some question marks, quite a few of them actually. Jered Weaver is not one of them though. Weaver had another excellent season and picked up Cy Young votes for the third straight year. Somehow he's still underrated, maybe because he's not a traditional power pitcher. He keeps getting it done though. CJ Wilson's first year in LA ended up a disappointment. His ERA went up by almost a full run, and given Angel Stadium's pitching bias, was actually a below average year (3.83 ERA, 98 ERA+). His homer rate ticked up, his walk rate went up, and his strike out went down. Not a good combination. The Angels have to have Wilson rebound. The rest of the rotation was completely overhauled due to the departures of Greinke, Haren, and Santana. In their places are well, guys. When healthy, Blanton eats innings. Vargas was good in Seattle, but his career ERA is over 1.5 higher outside of Safeco. Hanson had star potential in Atlanta, but hurt his shoulder and hasn't been the same since. All three will benefit from Angels Stadium being a pitchers park as well, and a fantastic defense behind them. Can that combination get it done for the Angels?
This team is going to score some runs. The question is can they prevent enough of them. Their defensive prowess will help, but at some point another starter will have to emerge after Weaver. Still, having your biggest rivals' best player sure goes a long way. I have them winning the exact same number of games as the year before. This year, it'll be enough.
Projected Record: 89-73
Down on the Farm: With Mike Trout owning the big leagues and not much else behind him, the Angels' system ranks near the bottom of the league. 3B Kaleb Cowart is the one prize left. His calling card for now is defense, but his bat keeps improving, and this year should be his biggest test yet as he hits AA. SP Nick Maronde is the team's top pitching prospect, and he did have a nice September cameo in the bigs last year as a lefty reliever.
Texas Rangers
Projected Lineup
2B Ian Kinsler
SS Elvis Andrus
DH Lance Berkman
3B Adrian Beltre
RF Nelson Cruz
LF David Murphy
C A.J. Pierzynski
1B Mitch Moreland
CF Leonys Martin
Projected Rotation
LHP Matt Harrison
RHP Yu Darvish
LHP Derek Holland
RHP Alexi Ogando
RHP Nicholas Tepesch
Closer: RHP Joe Nathan
Key Losses: OF Josh Hamilton, C/1B Mike Napoli, SP Ryan Dempster, SP Scott Feldman, SP Roy Oswalt, RP Koji Uehara, IF Michael Young
Going into September, the Rangers looked like they were in position to go for their third straight AL pennant. From there it all fell apart, as the Rangers lost the division to Oakland on the last day of the season, then lost to the Orioles in the wild card game to see their season end. Then in the offseason, Texas lost Josh Hamilton to the rival Angels, and saw every other major free agent sign elsewhere. As such, there isn't as much talk about the Rangers going into this season.
On offense, it stands to reason they won't lead the league in scoring again, given the two big losses of Hamilton and Napoli. To replace them, the Rangers took a gamble that Lance Berkman can be healthy again after just 32 games played in 2012, and added A.J. Pierzynski, who will be fine as long as they don't expect him to be as good as last year. Regardless of those two though, the two that will be counted out to carry the lineup power-wise are Beltre and Cruz. Beltre has been gangbusters since joining the Rangers and should be up to the task. Cruz had a down year last year, and now in his 30s, it's at the point where it's a concern. The top of the lineup remains very good though with Kinsler and Andrus getting on base at good clips, presuming Kinsler rebounds from a down year of his own. The lineup isn't slam dunk awesome, at least for now as they wait for a certain super prospect, but there's no need to claim the sky is falling.
Like the Angels, the Achilles of the Rangers is the rotation, and again, there is one exception- in this case Yu Darvish. Darvish made adjustments as his first year in the States went on, and by the end of the season was at his best, making him prime for another step forward. Harrison's ERA was a sparkling 3.29 last year, but he doesn't miss enough bats to make that sustainable. He can still slot in as the #2 behind Darvish and be very good. Holland is young enough to improve, which he needs to in terms of his home run rate. The back of the rotation is where it really gets screwy though. Ogando moves back to the rotation after being in the bullpen in 2012, which is after he was in the rotation in 2011. Nicholas Tepesch has apparently earned the fifth starter job, and I'll be frank, I have no idea who this guy is. If you're wondering about Neftali Feliz, he's still recovering from mid season Tommy John surgery.
The Rangers aren't done yet, but they do have holes and losses, and they weren't particularly patched up. They could still win the division, but they could also finish third.
Projected Record: 87-75
Down on the Farm: SS Jurickson Profar is considered by many to be the top prospect in all of baseball. He had a fantastic year at the plate in AA at 19. Profar is the whole package of hitting, plate discipline, potential 20 homer power, and a great arm and range for both middle infield positions. The main issue for now is that he's blocked by Andrus and Kinsler, but make no mistake, Profar is likely to end up a superstar. Also blocked for now is 3B Mike Olt, a nice power bat with 30 homer potential, but currently blocked by Adrian Beltre and with a bat that doesn't quite play at first, blocked he remains. SP Martin Perez is their most ready pitching prospect, but is out 2 months with a ulna fracture, which could keep him from significant big league work in 2013.
What about those surprise champs in Oakland? Turn to the next page to find out.
Oakland Athletics
Projected Lineup
CF Coco Crisp
3B Jed Lowrie
LF Yoenis Cespedes
1B Brandon Moss
RF Josh Reddick
DH Seth Smith
C John Jaso/Derek Norris
2B Scott Sizemore
SS Hiroyuki Nakajima
Projected Rotation
LHP Brett Anderson
RHP Jarrod Parker
LHP Tom Milone
RHP A.J. Griffin
RHP Daniel Straily
Closer: RHP Ryan Cook
Key Losses: SP Brandon McCarthy, 1B Chris Carter, SS Stephen Drew, OF Jonny Gomes, IF Brandon Inge, SP Dallas Braden, SS Cliff Pennington
Just when everyone had written off the Billy Beane Athletics, they went out and won the AL West and pushed Detroit to five games in the ALDS before getting Verlander'ed. Unlike the other surprise playoff team in Baltimore, Oakland's run differential indicated a record right around their 94-68 actual record, so it wasn't a fluke. Offensively, the lineup is led by Cespedes, who had a fantastic .292/.356/.505 rookie year and at 27 is right in his prime. The rest of the lineup's general approach is what you would expect from an Oakland team: low batting average, ability to take walks, and bats with some pop. Reddick is probably the epitome of that with his .242/.305/.463 and 32 homers last season. Moss was a revelation last year, but can't hit lefties at all. Lowrie is an interesting pick-up if he could ever stay healthy, while Jaso was a shrewd pickup after posting a .394 OBP last year. He'll share the job with Derek Norris, who still has a lot of potential.
The O.co Coliseum's extensive foul ground is a huge advantage for pitchers, and the home side's staff is no exception. The top of the rotation though are not just home park creations. Anderson made just six starts last season as he recovered from Tommy John surgery, but those six plus his ALDS start showed he's ready to pick right where he left off on the path to stardom. Jarrod Parker also came back from Tommy John surgery with a season that showed why he was the prize prospect acquired for Trevor Cahill. After that it gets hazier. Milone is purely a creation of the home ballpark. His home ERA was 2.74 last year, his road ERA over 2 runs higher. Griffin doesn't have a great fastball and gives up fly balls and thus needs the home park to keep the ball out of the stands. This is still a very young rotation that did a great job last year, and overall there's a lot to like. For you fantasy players, Ryan Cook will start the year at closer while Grant Balfour rehabs from knee surgery.
Most of the A's core is either in their prime or just getting there. Do not assume they will fade back to below .500. I have them third because young talent sometimes steps back before stepping forward, especially after last year's huge improvement. However, I could very well be wrong. I have just three games separating first and third in this division, which is me telling you it could any of the three in any order.
Projected Record: 86-76
Down on the Farm: The A's used a lot of rookies last year, and as such, the system is a bit thinner. Last year's first round pick SS Addison Russell, however, looks like a future star already. Straight from high school, Russell raked his way to high-A ball before the year was out. He still has a way to go to the bigs, but the start couldn't have gone better. Straily might be the best pitching prospect in the system after a great 2012 in which he led the minor leagues in strikeouts. The A's are hoping he can improve on his cup of coffee in Oakland last year, where he gave out homers like candy.
Seattle Mariners
Projected Lineup
RF Michael Saunders
3B Kyle Seager
DH Kendrys Morales
LF Michael Morse
1B Justin Smoak
C Jesus Montero
2B Dustin Ackley
CF Franklin Gutierrez
SS Brendan Ryan
Projected Rotation
RHP Felix Hernandez
LHP Joe Saunders
RHP Hisashi Iwakuma
RHP Erasmo Ramirez
RHP Blake Beavan
Closer: RHP Tom Wilhelmsen
Key Losses: SP Jason Vargas, C John Jaso, SP Kevin Millwood, C Miguel Olivo, IF Chone Figgins
The Mariners can't score runs. Safeco Field is part of this, and the team has moved the fences in a bit to help. However, it won't matter if the team can't get on base. Seattle was dead last in baseball in team OBP last year, the only team that couldn't even get on base at a .300 clip. Worse, the young talent the M's have tried to build in the lineup are the culprits. Dustin Ackley's OBP last year? .294. Jesus Montero's? .298. Justin Smoak's? .290. These are supposed to be the guys that will make this offense viable in the future, and it hasn't happened yet. This is a big year for all three of these guys, especially Smoak, who many in the industry are already writing off as a bust. Seattle brought in some reinforcements, but they are all of the 1B/LF/DH set, creating a logjam. The best of those brought in is Morales, who had a nice 2012 after a two year recovery from his broken ankle. Morse brings power and awesome at-bat music in the form of "Take on Me," but has issues staying healthy and doesn't bring a great OBP either. Seattle also signed Raul Ibanez and Jason Bay, which would be funny if it wasn't sad. The other problem with this logjam is it forces Montero to catch for the time being, which is not something he's particularly good at (Kelly Shoppach was brought in as a defensive caddy). Overall though, Morales and Morse will help, and Ackley and Montero should be better, which means the offense at least might get to mediocrity.
Felix Hernandez is awesome and has a new long-term deal with the Mariners. Remember that M's fans, because the rest of the rotation for now leaves a lot to be desired. As an O's fan, Joe Saunders holds a special memory in my heart due to how he pitched in the playoffs, but in the end he's an aging crafty left hander mostly getting by on guile. Iwakuma and Ramirez both showed significant home-road splits last year, suggesting they need their home park to get by, while Beavan doesn't strike out anybody and doesn't induce groundballs, which is a recipe for disaster anywhere. In reality, all these guys after King Felix are stopgaps for what's down on the farm, and given where the M's are competitively, there's nothing wrong with that.
The Mariners have one superstar, an up and coming generation that's stalled out in the bigs, and another generation on the way that we'll discuss below. If the current young guys can get out of neutral, then maybe you can see the next good Seattle team. Luckily they now have the King signed long-term, which will hopefully give them some time to build that next winner.
Projected Record: 74-88
Down on the Farm: C Mike Zunino was drafted in the first round last year, signed, and immediately started raking, finishing the year in AA. He could be in the majors as soon as this year, which will allow Montero to stop catching and move to first or DH. Three pitching prospects round out the most talked about members of the M's farm system. Danny Hultzen was the 2nd pick of the 2011 draft, but his path to the bigs detoured when he started walking everyone in AAA. Tajuan Walker has passed Hultzen on the prospect lists after he held his own in AA at age 19, which makes him very tantalizing. The last of the three is James Paxton, who has a fine curveball but has trouble with issuing free passes.
The Astros join the division this year, much to the happiness of their new rivals. Turn the page to see why.
Houston Astros
Projected Lineup
2B Jose Altuve
1B Brett Wallace
DH Carlos Pena
LF Chris Carter
RF Fernando Martinez
CF Justin Maxwell
C Jason Castro
SS Ronny Cedeno
3B Matt Dominguez
Projected Rotation
RHP Bud Norris
RHP Lucas Harrell
RHP Phi Humber
LHP Erik Bedard
RHP Brad Peacock
Closer: RHP Jose Veras
Key Losses: 3B Jed Lowrie, C Chris Snyder
In 2012, the Astros lost 107 games. In 2011, they lost 106. Unfortunately for the Astros as they move to a new league and division, the bottoming out isn't quite finished. Houston is overtly in a full rebuilding mode, and thus the major league cupboard remains mostly bare. The lineup is currently filled out primarily with ex-prospects from other teams. Chris Carter, for example, has spent the last few years teasing Oakland with hot streaks followed by not being able to hit the broad sign of a barn. Fernando Martinez used to be a top prospect for the Mets. Jason Maxwell teased the Nationals but couldn't stay healthy. Most of these guys are Quad-A players at this point, but for Houston, they're lottery tickets. If they can show some of that old potential, great. If not, well, they probably won't be on the next good Astros team. Carlos Pena is another lottery ticket for Houston. He was awful last year in Tampa, and thus the Astros signed him on the cheap. If he rebounds, expect Houston trade him at the deadline. Overall, with the exception of Jose Altuve and Matt Dominguez's glove, there's not much to look at here.
Norris and Harrell are average starting pitchers. That's probably Harrell's ceiling, while Norris has the ability to show more, but hasn't turned into results. In a perfect world, these two would be solid three and four starters. Instead they carry the Astros' pitching staff. This tells you what you need to know. Humber had the perfect game last year and then was terrible the rest of the way. Erik Bedard was a non-roster invitee that everyone knew was making the roster. He can still pitch effectively when healthy, which is a rare occurrence. Peacock was supposed to be the ready for the bigs prospect traded to Oakland in the Gio Gonzalez trade. It never happened after he was torched in AAA, and thus he was traded with Carter to Houston for Jed Lowrie. These are warm bodies put in to take the ball every fifth day because someone has to. Nothing more, nothing less.
This Astros team is probably a little better than the last two, but it isn't by much, and the change to the stronger AL, in particular a strong AL West, will mask any talent gains made. Jeff Luhnow has completely remade the front office, but their work is going to take a few more years to truly come to fruition. As such, it's going to be another ugly season at Minute Maid Park.
Projected Record: 58-104
Down on the Farm: All the rebuilding is starting to result in a top farm system. 1B Jonathan Singleton is the most ready for the bigs, although he'll miss the first 50 games of the season due to a positive test for marijuana (yet DUIs get no punishment, go figure). Last year's first overall pick, SS Carlos Correa, ranks as Houston's top prospect for now, but at just 18 is still quite a ways away. OF George Springer and 2B Delino DeShields Jr. still need polish, but area also worth watching. On the pitching side, many are starting to think RHP Jarrod Cosart's future is in the bullpen, but the Astros are desperate enough for starters that he'll probably get a few shots there.

Pentagon Is Set to Lift Combat Ban for Women
Defense Secretary Leon E. Panetta is lifting the military's official ban on women in combat, which will open up hundreds of thousands of additional front-line jobs to them, senior defense officials said Wednesday.
The Pentagon chief will announce on Thursday that he is eliminating the direct ground combat exclusion — the Department of Defense policy that excluded women from assignment to units below the brigade level if the unit would be engaged in direct combat.
This will allow women to be assigned to select positions in ground combat units at the battalion level, opening approximately 237,000 individual jobs to women across service branches, including 5,000 positions for female Marines in ground combat elements.
"I support it. It reflects the reality of 21st century military operations," said Sen. Carl Levin, D-Mich., chairman of the Senate Armed Services Committee, in anticipation of the announcement.
"We are moving in the direction of women as infantry soldiers," one senior defense official said.
Longstanding opponents of lifting the ban on women in combat lambasted the move as a show of "political correctness."
"The point of the military is to protect our country," said Penny Nance, President and CEO of Concerned Women for America Legislative Action Committee, a conservative lobbying group. "Anything that distracts from that is detrimental. Our military cannot continue to choose social experimentation and political correctness over combat readiness. While this decision is not unexpected from this administration, it is still disappointing."
Panetta, who is expected to leave his position as Defense Secretary in February, will call on the military services to study whether it is possible to open all jobs to women, and the services must come back with their individual plans and recommendations by May 15, a senior defense official said. He will call for all changes to be in place, and women serving in the new roles by Jan. 1, 2016.
But a senior defense official who spoke to NBC News said they expect exceptions to remain. Elite Special Operations positions in Navy SEALS, Army Rangers, and Delta Force were likely to remain closed to women, the official said, while the Army is likely to open up jobs for female pilots in the elite 160th Special Operations Aviation Regiment.
"In fact, it's important to remember that in recent wars that lacked any true front lines, thousands of women already spent their days in combat situations serving side-by-side with their fellow male service members," said Murray, who heads the Senate Veterans' Affairs Committee. Sen. Patty Murray, D-Wash., called the decision "historic."
In November, a group of women in the military and the non-profit American Civil Liberties Union sued the Pentagon over the policy of excluding women from combat roles. Their complaint argued that they were already serving in combat roles, but not getting recognized for it.
So far, 152 women have died while deployed in support of the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan and at least 958 have been wounded in action.
"This is really the implementation of a policy that has been a reality for women for years," one senior defense official said.
According to the most recent Defense numbers, there are 1.4 million active duty members of the military, and nearly 15 percent of them are women.
This new military-wide rule — distinct from a law — will replace the 1994 policy memo barring women in combat roles, which was signed by then-Secretary Les Aspin.

A member of the U.S. Army's premiere ceremonial unit is under arrest and charged with having sex with a minor.
Investigators say 30-year-old Matthew McKendrick found a 14-year-old girl through an online dating site. She was reported missing last month in Chesterfield, Va., near the Richmond area and was located several days later at his apartment in Alexandria.
McKendrick was taken into custody on July 26.
Investigators say he posted images online of himself and the girl having sex. They believe she was in his apartment along Huntington Avenue for several days.
The investigation is still ongoing.
Meanwhile, McKendrick is being held without bond and charged with carnal knowledge of a child.
The 30-year-old is an Army Specialist and member of The Old Guard, a unit which provides services including 24-hour vigil at the Tomb of the Unknowns and ceremonial duties at Arlington National Cemetery.
Major John G. Miller provided the following statement to FOX 5:
"On July 26, 2013, SPC Matthew McKendrick was arrested for the offenses of Carnal Knowledge with a 13-14 year old Without Force and Indecent Liberties with a Minor. SPC McKendrick's request for bail was denied and he is currently confined in Fairfax County. Currently, the Fairfax Country Police Department is the leading the investigation with support from Army Criminal Investigation Division and Military Prosecutors. Military Prosecutors and Army CID will continue to work closely with Fairfax County Police to offer their full support while the investigation continues. Like all persons accused of crimes, SPC McKendrick is presumed innocent until proven guilty."

Regular Season Sunday Schedule
September to June
7:45 am Holy Eucharist Rite I, spoken
9:00 am Holy Eucharist Rite II, with music
11:15 am 1st Sunday of the month - Holy Eucharist Rite II
other Sundays - Choral Matins
Differences in the Sunday Morning Worship Serivces
By Peter Vanderveen
The worship of The Episcopal Church is richly varied in substance and style. In keeping with this richness, we provide three different experiences of worship each Sunday.
The 7:45am service is a meditative celebration of the Eucharist in the more formal language of Rite One. Its consistent rhythm as a spoken service provides a simple yet grounded recitation of our faith.
The 9:00am service is more robust and proclamatory in its pageantry, music, and variation. We use different expressions of the Eucharistic liturgy, and at regular intervals we observe appointed feasts for saints of the church in a simplified intergenerational service.
The 11:15am service liturgy will include two forms of workship.
The first Sunday of each month will be Holy Eucharist, Rite II, from the Book of Common Prayer.
For the remaining Sundays of each month, the service will be an abridged form of Choral Matins, designed to give emphasis to beauty, prayerfulness, and the unique expression of the Psalms. Its mood will be distinct from the other Sunday morning services, and its focus will be in providing a particular experience of sabbath, offering space for solace and reason for strength.
Celebrating the Communion of the Saints 2012-13
During our church year, we will be celebrating the Communion of the Saints by highlighting some of the saints (or "God's faithful") who have gone before us. On these specific saints' feast days, the readings and the hymnody will celebrate the contributions these saints have made to the Christian life. As we honor our saints, we are reminded how we, too, participate in this great cloud of witnesses through our worship and mission in this life as well as the next. Please plan to be present for these festive days.

Children's Liturgy
You may have noticed by now that every Sunday a youth bulletin has been printed since Easter. This bulletin is geared towards children fifth grade and over. It explains how the liturgy is put together, what the liturgy means, and how we can participate in the liturgy more fully. During this school year, the younger children who attend children's chapel during sermon time, will receive intentional instruction by the clergy as we walk more deeply through the Eucharistic liturgy. They will have the chance to ask questions about things like the Confession, the Nicene Creed, and the Eucharist at their level. Please plan to have your children ready to attend on these special days. (Oct. 2, Oct. 30, Dec. 4, Jan. 15, Feb. 5, Mar. 11, Apr. 22)
Book Cart
Children may borrow books, soft toys or pages to color from the Book Cart in the Narthex and return them after the service.
Children's Chapel
During the 9am service, Children's Chapel is offered for elementary age children. After the Gospel is read, children follow the crucifer to the Chapel next to the main worship space, where they gather for a children's homily and prayers. They return to the main service during the Peace.
Younger Children during Worship
Children age 3 (and potty trained) through Grade K attend Catechesis of the Good Shepherd, Level I (see Catechesis I section) from 9 to 11 am. On three Sundays of the year, they participate in the Children's Liturgy during the 9 am service and then attend Catechesis at 10:15.
For the youngest ones (infant through two or three years old), child care is available each Sunday in the Nursery (see Nursery section) from 8:30 to 11:30 am The hours of Nursery care may be extended to begin at 7:30 am or end at 12:30 pm with advance notice to the caregivers or Tory Kline.
12:15 pm Holy Eucharist, Rite II

This is not a good sign. The city of Atlanta's big push to obtain transportation funding might have hit a roadblock, AJC reporter Ernie Suggs writes.
On Monday, Atlanta Mayor Kasim Reed presented 20 transportation projects and city council members balked, claiming the list does not address key issues for the city and they had no input, Suggs reports.
Creating more friction, Reed was expected to whittle the 20 projects, which would cost an estimated $6.9 billion obtained from 2012 referendum tax money set aside for transportation, to a workable number himself by Wednesday to submit to the state, Suggs writes.
"Whoever had the bright idea to circumvent the council may have doomed the council's support for this," council president Ceasar C. Mitchell said.
Meanwhile, MARTA is starting to think big after a brutal year of getting smaller, AJC reporter Ariel Hart writes.
New rail lines, bus lanes on highways, and new train and bus stations are among the things MARTA's board want from a 2012 transportation referendum, Hart reports. That summer, metro Atlanta voters will go to the polls to consider a list of transportation projects that would be funded from a 1 percent sales tax to run 10 years.
Hart details MARTA's wish list, which includes a new rail line from Lindbergh Station to Emory University at a cost of $685 million, in her story.

The council has laid down for Atlanta mayors the last 20 years. This is all posturing. Wait for some type of special session in the next few days where they b*tch and moan as they lay down on the rails, while Kasim pushes full steam ahead right over them. Pun intended.
They do have a point, its just they don't have the backbone to stand up.

This is C.W. Mathews list along with some bond lawyers wanting to float bonds on all this rail, light, and Marta, and high-speed. Anything to get more taxes and generate larger budgets to rip off. Lawyers will walk away with 10's of millions of dollars.

So where were the council members during the passing of the legislation, input by the Chamber of Commerce, and the period leading up to present? Asleep at the wheel!You now have the first COA Transportation Plan (passed 2 years ago) that you never funded! You had the oppertunity to select projects with a measured need and you did what? Nothing! And now you complain? Get over it!

Arrogant Reed; Can't wait for redistricting and more Midtown and Buckhead Reps! What is Georgia Legislative Black Caucus going to say about that. Midtown and Buckhead Cacus should sue if the represetnation is not afforded from population growth!

The only person who likes this 2012 referendum is the Mayor. The Atlanta City Council, Fulton County Commission and DeKalb County Commission are all opposed.
I wonder what kind of deals Mayor Reed cut for himself on this one? Why wouldn't his list of projects at least include Atlanta-based projects? Let Cobb County pay to expand its own Silver Comet Trail.
March 29th, 2011
11:02 am
Wonder if the projects are good projects. If they are, then the City Council needs to get over itself and get on board. If they have better ideas, then present them. There's not a lot of time to bicker.
March 29th, 2011
11:13 am
I think the new MARTA list is a great start. Way to go! Great signs of forward thinking with rail and utilizing the existing heavy rail system they have instead of trying to create a completely new light rail system… smart.
The coucil needs to think about what they are saying and complaining about. The first thing you read is how there aren't enough projects for "just Atlanta." That is the problem with the thinking in this area. Everyone wants for their area only. There needs to be more connectivity for the entire region. Just because you live in ATL doesn't mean connecting to Cobb is a bad idea, even if you never use it.
It attracts people and employers. What employer is going to want to bring their company to Cobb if the only people they can get to work there are the 700K folks that live there, especially when the region has almost 6 million? If people from ATL can't commute or take a train to Cobb. It's all about connecting to the core, which is Atlanta. People need to understand that the surrounding areas wouldn't be nothing if it wasn't for ATL. But ATL wouldn't be nothing without the surrounding area. We are one and need to start thinking like that when it comes to transportation issues.

11:50 am
Bravo to Mayor Reed. Why must he have to pull this council kicking and screaming into the 21st century.
Most census predictions tell us the city is going to gain about 2 million more people in the next 10 years. The time to act on our overwhelming transit issues is NOW. It is not going to go away and only going to get worse.

It's disappointing to see this kind of power grab and lack of communication.

The Marta Train should wrap all the way around I285. It should follow 400, I75, I20, and I85. And they should all connect. Why is this so hard??? Get the people off the streets and freeways and on the train. I have never lived in a city so behind in the times. Make the freeways and streets obsolete. Why even have a train if its not going to connect the surrounding cities? It so frustrating living in this time warp. The congestion is dangerous. If anything happened we'd all be sitting ducks. And what genius thought of putting the bike lane within the car lane? Especially when the lanes aren't even wide enough for an average size car? Who wants to ride a bike when most people out here don't know the rules of the road? There should be a campaign to play commercials teaching the laws of the road every 30 minutes. Its obvious most people haven't taken drivers training. Remind people that pedestrians have the right of way. Its to dangerous.

Prayer for Missions
God of truth and love: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, Hear our prayer for those who do not know You. That they may come to a saving knowledge of the truth, and that Your Name may be praised among all peoples of the world. Sustain, inspire, and enlighten Your servants who bring them the Gospel. Bring fresh vigor to wavering faith; sustain our faith when it is still fragile. Continually renew missionary zeal in ourselves and in the Church, and raise up new missionaries who will follow You to the ends of the world. Make us witnesses to Your goodness full of love, full of strength, and full of faith for Your glory and the salvation of the entire world. Through the prayers of all the missionary saints, Have mercy on us and save us. Amen.

After many years of legislative efforts, environmental assessments, planning and public input by individuals and groups holding concern for the future of the Rio Grande River in Southwest Texas, a final General Management Plan was developed to guide management of the Rio Grande Wild and Scenic River.
This paper, produced with impetus by Park Superintendent Jim Carrico, is to serve the purpose of consolidating the events, conditions, and opinions which led to adoption of the 1981 General Management Plan for the Rio Grande Wild and Scenic River.

Esperia Grill- Terrific Greek-Moussaka and Pork Gyro in Brighton
- opinionatedchef Apr 13, 2011 09:46 PM
Never would have known about this place without the posts from lergnom on the schwarma thread. We had a really good dinner last night at this sunny spot.
The Moussaka was the best i've had, after my own. A layer of herb and spiced ground beef and tomato is topped with sauteed sliced eggplant and a deep layer of potato and creamy rich nutmeg- tinged beschamel sauce. Moussaka is a peasant dish, a casserole, but unlike many lesser versions, the flavor of each component is full and distinct and the overall effect is piquant, luxuriant and deeply satisfying. A large 5" square portion is $8; $2 for a side salad (substantial size, but w/ a disappointing packaged salad dressing. They're such a no-brainer to make; why have all this delicious small-batch home cooking and not make your own salad dressing?)
The succulent and abundant pork gyro is best described by gourmaniac here:
The spinach pie is good and the avgolemono was lemony but lacking in richness. For us, the highlights were those above.

I live near Esperia, and have always wondered why it didn't get more love on the board. It's tough to recommend to people looking for something in town, though as Brighton Center isn't on a lot of folks radars, but I always recommend it when people are looking to eat in that area. I agree about their moussaka, best I've had outside of the one baked by the mom of my Greek college ex-girlfriend.
re: kimfair1
ah yes, the moms of friends.Lucky us, many of us, i'd guess (worthy of its own thread in General Topics, eh/!) Who knew choice of playmates would influence/help mold? future CHs?!
kim, i think i might owe you an apology for not being included in my shout out to lergnom; i think you actually mentioned esperia a while ago. At any rate, thanx so much. It'll be interesting to compare their pork gyro to Zo's. Maybe slim will get to Esperia before we get to Zo, but i know one of us will post about it. :-)
re: opinionatedchef
No worries, glad you liked it. The gyro was also quite good the one time I had it, but I loves me a good moussaka, and it's nice to have a great one a short walk away from home.
re: kimfair1
re: kimfair1
hey Kimfar and lergnom, all this recent attention on your CH discovery must make you feel pretty great! so many CHs with happy tummies thanks to you (and Esperia of course!) And you got MCSlim to make quite the declaration; not too shabby you two!!
re: opinionatedchef
The main thing is what kimfair said, Brighton Center is kind of ignored outside of occasional references to Jasmine Bistro and a few others - like the odd Devlin's mention. It's not on a T line and it's not really convenient for people more in the burbs. I live in Brookline and am always cutting through Brighton Center. I like to go to Esperia and then walk to Athan's for gelato. And the convenience store on the corner past Athan's has the lowest prices on Barry's tea. (And they have a separate Keno room, if you are into that.)

re: lergnom
Yeah, Brighton Center is off most people's radar, which may help explain why it doesn't have the volume of quality places like Allston does. I am happy that I helped introdue my fellow hounds to Esperia. Methinks I'll be getting a pork gyro for dinner tomorrow!
We wanted Esperia about a week ago, but they were closed, so we had to settle for a burger at the Corrib. Nothing special, but a decent burger. I also recommend the Sicilian pizza at Imperial (across Wash St from Mandy & Joe's). Not a fan of their regular pizza, but the Sicilian rocks. Jasmine Bistro is one strange place. Sort of a surreal experience with the owner who pours you wine from bottles behind the bar (based on what type you want), and charges by the carafe. Food is good, not mind blowing. I do like the new Abbot's Frozen Custard place. I didn't love it the first time we went, but I had a fresh strawberry there after the Corrib that was fantastic. I do recommend the cup over the cone, as it's softer in consistency than ice cream.
Devlin's is a guilty pleasure, mostly because of the entertainingly bad bartender there, who tries hard, but usually fails miserably. We like to sit at the bar occasionally and watch the mayhem! Food again, is passable, nothing to write home about.

re: opinionatedchef
Not Slim, but I have tried both. I prefer Esperia but both are good. Esperia is a little more generous on the meat and I prefer their bread.
I love Esperia Grill! They are a great option for a quick lunch around brighton center, and everything I've tried there tastes very fresh. My usual go-tos are the moussaka and the regular old Greek salad.

Try the Greek roast chicken; very lemony and good with the Greek roasted potatoes and spinach rice. The pastistio uses the same bechamel, which is extremely light and creamy. The spinach pie is also good. The mom - I think her name is Georgia - is responsible for the food. She says Greek food is only good if made in small batches. I wish they'd add octopus, etc.
I grew up in Detroit and Chicago, which have large Greek communities. Though the best Greek food in N.America seems to be in Canada & mostly in Toronto.
re: lergnom
As a history buff, i wonder what drew greeks to detroit and chic and toronto and not so much boston?
re: opinionatedchef
Don't know about Toronto/Chicago, but I believe that Greeks were among various groups drawn to the higher paying jobs at Ford a hundred years ago. Though ol' man Henry was known for anti-Semitism, he readily hired Mediterranean and Middle Eastern laborers in Detroit.
Gonna hit Esperia for lunch tomorrow. Crispy-edged pork just sounds so...porky.
re: opinionatedchef
I grew up in Peabody, which had such a large Greek population that there was a bus from St.Vasilios Greek Orthodox church every afternoon to take the kids to Greek school, just like the ones from Temple Ner Tamid that took the Jewish kids to Hebrew school, so YMMV...
Bumping this thread to say thanks to all who posted about this super little place. Tried the pork gyros yesterday as well as the moussaka. The moussaka was very good, with a light bechamel that helped combat the overall "heft" of the dish. It's not my typical summer fare but I wanted to try it and it is indeed very good. Moussaka was served with one hot side and a nice greek salad with (when dining in) a good house-made dressing. I got the spinach rice pilaf on the side but was really tempted by the orzo with chicken. Next time. (Note, the picture makes it appear smaller than the serving is. It's easily a 4x4 slab of food, and three inches tall.)
But the gyros! The gyros were a thing of beauty. See the picture below, just a humongous pile of juicy pork, crisped up on the flat top and swaddled in a pita blankie. Served with feta cheese and tzatziki. I would have liked tomato and onion on it, but I'm sure they'd honor the request if made. I kept sneaking little bits off my DC's plate, hoping she wouldn't notice or mind. I need one of these all to myself, and then a nap.
We also tried a Greek beer and ogled the roasted chickens on the way out. They look great too. I like Farm Grill's food a lot, but Esperia is so much easier for me to get to I'll definitely explore more. Was also curious about a lot of other places in Brighton Center, a hood I don't ever get over to, but I'll raise that as a different thread.
re: yumyum
love the gyros. I recall both tomato and onion but not quite the abundance of meat. Their pita is the best i've had here.
re: yumyum
I have to agree: this might be the best gyros sandwich in Boston. Great bread, perfect rotisserie combo of crisp and tender, and they do pork! I think it edges both Zo and Farm Grill, my two previous favorites. I was so hoping to review it for The Phoenix, but Nadeau beat me to the punch right after it changed formats last fall (it was a Greek pizza place from the same operators for many years)
re: yumyum
I had the gyro here for the first time last weekend. It was large, very good and came with on a perfectly griddle pita. Mine had onions on it though (diced red onions.). They were at the bottom, right on top of the tzatziki. (and underneath the pork.)
Also, the dressing that came with the salad was very good. Not sure what was in it, but it had a little heat to it was is unusual for Greek dressing, but definitely welcome.
Just to nerd out, Esperia is not new to chowhound:
re: opinionatedchef
would someone let us know when they actually reopen?! i'm having a hard time here!(there is no phone or web message.)thnx much.
re: opinionatedchef
they open today - they were on vacation.
re: teezeetoo
thnx so much!
Am I missing something here? I went last Monday, first night back from their vacation. Ordered cold appetizers first, waited over twenty minutes before going to the counter to ask about them. Got one appetizer, second one never came. Then waited another twenty minutes for my pork gyro. Saw the plate with salad sitting on the counter waiting for someone to slice the pork and make the gyro. Though I had one once before some time ago, I was expecting something great. What I got was a greasy, fatty sandwich. I couldn't eat it. Though Brighton is convenient for me, I'd take the beef and lamb gryo at the Greek Corner over this any day.
p.s. The owner did comp me some cookies at the end of the meal and apologized but I don't think I'll be back.

re: chuck s
I was underwhelmed my self when I hit it a while back.
re: chuck s
bummer. don't know what happened w your food, but we only get the pork gyros and the moussaka
(with a side of badly needed tomato sauce) and we love both. maybe first night after vaca. is not best time? i'll have to try the greek corner .
re: opinionatedchef
Went last night, I had the moussaka (which I alternate with the pork gyro), and my wife had the lamb kabob sandwich. Both excellent. No problems with the wait, and the place was pretty full.

Great location less than a block from the Duomo. Lorenzo, the owner was very helpful and friendly and was available by phone if we had any questions or concerns. We were pleasantly surprised by the access to the common area, where they had a full kitchen for our use and a fridge stocked with juice and water. He even showed us how to make italian coffee on the stove if we wanted to. The room is part of an apartment that Lorenzo remodeled in 2008, so all of the fixtures and furnishings are new within this established apartment building. We felt like locals!

James Storm
Real Name
James Cox

Place of Birth
A lot of eyes in the industry are on Alberto Del Rio right now, as many want to see if he will pursue a lawsuit against WWE. The company has reportedly banned him from working in the United States for a year. Back when Brock Lesnar filed a similar lawsuit, the judge was very close to ruling in his favor. Both sides agreed to a settlement instead. If Del Rio were to file the lawsuit and win the case, then that changes things in the industry quite a bit.
August 19, 2014
Rumors are now floating around that one of the reasons why TNA parted ways with Vince Russo is due to the fact that he interviewed Daffney on his podcast show. There is said to be a good amount of backstage heat towards her because of the lawsuit that she filed against the company a couple of years back. Russo being involved with her is something that reportedly annoyed management.
August 19, 2014
While a lawsuit against WWE is still being pondered, Alberto Del Rio revealed that several employees, including wrestlers, were witnesses to the backstage incident that took place between he and Cody Barbierri. Of particular note, Del Rio pointed out that Jack Swagger was one of the wrestlers that saw the entire thing unfold. If a lawsuit takes place, then there is a chance that Swagger could be questioned.
August 18, 2014
While the company was hoping that the legendary masked performer would make an appearance at TripleMania on Sunday, AAA is reportedly backing away from Rey Mysterio. The promotion does not want to be involved in a contract tampering lawsuit with WWE. As of right now, there is a bit of a dispute between Mysterio and Vince McMahon on their deal. Until that is cleared, AAA will not be contacting Mysterio.
August 16, 2014
While there was a bit of rumblings backstage that WWE was going to pursue legal action against CM Punk for walking out of his contract, rumors are floating around that management is hesitant to do so. For starters, now might not be a good time to sink money into a lawsuit since there are so many employees being released. Secondly, Vince McMahon is really focused on the WWE Network at the moment, so a lawsuit might be a bit of a distraction from the CEO.
August 2, 2014
While a lot of people have been quick to be judgmental about the lawsuit, Jesse Ventura has publicly stated that he has no regrets about suing the widow of a deceased Navy SEAL member for defamation. The fabricated story told by Chris Kyle caused the WWE legend to lose millions of dollars, so Ventura felt justified in trying to recoup some of that money.
July 31, 2014
The former governor of Minnesota should be receiving a nice check in the near future. A jury in the state awarded Jesse Ventura $1.8 million in his lawsuit against Chris Kyle, who passed away before the trial concluded. The former WWE star filed the lawsuit because Kyle had been telling people that the two of them were involved in a fight at the bar.
July 29, 2014
Vince McMahon has another big headache to deal with, as his company is being hit with a class action lawsuit. The claim is that WWE purposely misled investors about their ability to secure a much better television deal with the network than the contract that they eventually signed. The promise of a bigger television deal was reportedly the reason why a lot of investors sank money into WWE, causing their stocks to soar to record levels.
July 26, 2014
In a rather interesting and bizarre bit of news, Natalya Neidhart is being sued by a prisoner in the state of Pennsylvania. Christopher Donnelly is alleging that the WWE diva mentally, physically and emotionally abused him from 2005 until 2009. He also claims that Natalya had an abortion during their sexual relationship. Donnelly is attempting to gain $250,000 from the lawsuit.
July 9, 2014
While wrestling fans are clamoring for his return to the industry, Shane McMahon is going to be rather busy in the upcoming months, as the former WWE star has filed a $50 million lawsuit against the high rise building that he has been living in. Water leaks have apparently caused damage to his property and the health of his family, so he wants compensation.
March 26, 2014
Despite being sent legal threats from the company, it appears that Sin Cara has opted to be defiant towards WWE. The masked wrestler recently won a championship down in Mexico while using the name and character, both of which he claims ownership to. New merchandise has been made despite the possibility of a lawsuit coming.
March 5, 2014
While he has stepped away from the spotlight quite a bit, the civil lawsuit between TNA and Scott Steiner is still an ongoing thing. A judge in Nashville has decided to postpone things from March until November. For those wondering, that is the reason why Steiner has been rather quiet online for the past year. He wants to avoid any further trouble.
March 2, 2014
Hunico might be cashing in a nice pay per view bonus check at Wrestlemania 30 this year, as WWE still has interest in using the Sin Cara character at the event. Merchandise sales have remained strong, and the company wants to continue to capitalize. There may be a lawsuit coming from the original performer, though.

The Minnesota Twins of the Major Baseball League has filed paperwork to oppose the WWE's attempt to obtain a trademark for the Bella Twins.
November 20, 2013
While the entire card is far from being finalized, TNA has revealed two matches that will definitely be taking place at the pay per view. In the first match, Samoa Joe, Low Ki and former WCW star Kaz Hayashi will be battling in a triple threat match for the X Division Championship. Seiya Sanada will be teaming with his new on screen mentor James Storm to take on his real life mentor Great Muta and Tajiri.

The decision to invite members of the Dallas Cowboys to Slammiversary 2014 proved to be quite an effective marketing move, as TNA was able to garner some mainstream media coverage from George Selvie being involved in a segment with James Storm and Mr Anderson. Among those that covered the incident were Dallas Morning News, TMZ, Fox Sports, CBS and a variety of local affiliates.
June 16, 2014
During a recent blog post, Jim Ross was asked what WWE needed to do in order to fix their product. The legendary commentator said that they simply needed to put on a better show and utilize their talents better. He praised Dolph Ziggler as a performer who needed to be push. Then, without solicitation, he praised James Storm and Bobby Roode of TNA.
May 19, 2014
In approximately two years, TNA has reduced the amount of contracted performers by nearly half, going from 60 to 33 during that stretch of time. Dixie Carter and company have been forced to allow performers to leave whenever their contracts expire because they need to become fiscally responsible if they wish to remain in business. Rumor has it that only Kurt Angle, Jeff Hardy, Bully Ray, Samoa Joe, Abyss, James Storm, Bobby Roode and Mr Anderson have big salaries.
May 15, 2014
Earlier this week, news came out that Kurt Angle had been added as a last minute addition to the live events that TNA is holding this upcoming weekend. Word has now come out that the former world heavyweight champion will be teaming up with MVP to take on Ethan Carter and Brutus Magnus. Angle is replacing James Storm and Gunner, who are doing a show in England.
May 2, 2014
Since James Storm and Gunner are heading over to England this weekend to work a big anniversary show over there, Kurt Angle has been added to the TNA live events this upcoming weekend in Wisconsin. The move is designed to help with ticket sales, as Storm is one of the more popular performers on the tour. No word yet on who Angle will be wrestling on these shows.
May 1, 2014
TNA will be doing a couple of live events in Wisconsin this upcoming weekend, but James Storm and Gunner, both of whom are featured regularly on these tours, are not going to be available. The former TNA World Tag Team Champions are heading to England instead to work a big anniversary show for Plymouth Wrestling Alliance.
May 1, 2014
In a bloody I Quit match at TNA Sacrifice 2014, Gunner was able to force James Storm into calling off the match by breaking off a big shard of glass and threatening to jam it into the head of his former tag team partner. A very bloody Gunner refused to quit, even though he took quite the beating.
April 27, 2014
A video from Impact Wrestling of James Storm and Bobby Roode reforming Beer Money in a tag team match against Gunner and Bully Ray. TNA has been toying around with the idea of having Storm and Roode permanently joining forces again.
April 26, 2014
While they both have now established themselves as singles stars, there are talks backstage in TNA of doing a Beer Money reunion. The hope would be that James Storm and Bobby Roode can remain relevant while carrying the tag team division once again. It would help fill the void that is being left by the potential departures of Christopher Daniels and Frankie Kazarian.
April 24, 2014
With so many of their performer contracts expiring this year, TNA officials have been busy with negotiations and signings. The latest person to put pen to paper is Gunner, a rising star in the promotion. With the deal, he is expected to remain with the company for a couple of years, and he is also expected to continue on his push since splitting with James Storm.
April 16, 2014
While the company has recently suffered the loss of AJ Styles and Chris Sabin, it appears that TNA has been able to retain one of their longtime stars. James Storm has signed a new multiple year deal to stick around. The former world heavyweight champion is expected to be given a nice push after he finishes up his program with Gunner.
April 13, 2014
Independent wrestling shows are usually done on the weekends, but a promotion in Tennessee has decided to do a rare one on a Wednesday. James Storm has been booked to be the headliner, and he will be going up against former TNA star Chase Stevens. Crimson, another former TNA star, is also working the event as well, but his opponent has not been revealed yet.
March 26, 2014
Internally, TNA is hoping that they can build up Gunner over the next several months, so that he can become a title challenger for Brutus Magnus and the world heavyweight championship. His program with James Storm and fantastic match at TNA Lockdown 2014 helped increase his credibility in the eyes of the fans. Management will be doing more of that as well.
March 15, 2014
At TNA Lockdown 2014, James Storm and Gunner put on a tremendous show inside of the steel cage. While they were both praised backstage for the match itself, both are receiving individual praises as well. James Storm is being lauded for making his opponent look like a million bucks, while Gunner is receiving words of encouragement because he is starting to look like a star.
March 11, 2014
In a crowd pleasing segment at TNA Lockdown 2014, Gunner was able to secure one of the biggest wins of his career by defeating James Storm in a Last Man Standing match after Storm was unable to get back up from a superplex through two steel chairs.
March 9, 2014
There are talks that James Storm will be having quite a bit role at Slammiversary, which was just recently announced to be taking place in Dallas. The feeling within TNA is that his southern gimmick would be quite the draw for fans in Texas. He is currently engaged in a program with Gunner, and that feud could be escalated into a top tier one by June.
March 7, 2014
While he is no longer feuding with Mr Anderson, who has been moved into a program with Christy Hemme and Sam Shaw now, Bully Ray will be facing his nemesis once again. The two of them will be headlining some live events for TNA this weekend, where they will be working a steel cage match. James Storm and Gunner are also working a featured match at the show.

HI I am trying to install the terrain toolkit, I download, unzip and drop it into unity as the (brief) instructions say (bragged the folder over the project pane, I could not select the zip for an import),
"Installation instructions:
Open the Unity project you wish to use the Terrain Toolkit in and double click "TerrainToolkit_v1.0.unitypackage" to import it into your project. You may need to unzip it first."
A terrain toolkit appears, but it is full of lots (about 30) of sub-folders with long hex names 1b1e729114 etc, doesn't look right.
Also the Terrain option does not appear in my component menu, so I cannot use it.
Is anyone else experiencing the same problem, is the issue with the unzip not creating a recognizable package? (using 7 zip on OSX).
Please help, I want to sue this important new addition

This happens sometimes when you import packages by double-clicking.
I usually place all of my Unity Packages in ~/Applications/Unity/Packages.
For an already existent project, put the Unity package in your project's asset directory; then, in Unity, select the "Assets Menu" and then "Import Package" (Import all). It should unwrap the package neatly in your project pane.
You should now see a Terrain drop-down under the Components menu.
answered Mar 24, 2010 at 05:51 PM
When you unzip it let the go through one cycle then it will start unzipping the unity package. At that point hit cancel and it will stop. It left the package and imported properly. At least it worked for me. ;p

[MASHUP] Luniz- I Got 5 On It (Maars Reggae Re-Fix)
by DJ Maars
[REGGAE/HIPHOP] Luniz - I Got 5 On it (Maars Reggae Re-fix) MP3
DJ Maars does a splendid job mashing up the Luniz classic "I Got 5 On it" with his beefed up version of the "Doctors Darling" Riddim. The dancehall/reggae musical term riddim refers to the instrumental accompaniment of a song and famous ones are put in hundreds of songs. The "Doctor's Darling" riddim was a revitalized version of Gregory Isaac's "Night Nurse" from a german production outfit of reggae artists. The 'Doctors Darling' riddim has been championed quite a few times since it's creation in 2002. Their are a few well done remixes of 'I Got 5 On It' floating around the web but none with as rich a history as this.
