I Priyanka Stany Francis Vaz, file no.THN-N019052 had applied for my passport in Nov-2010. As i was staying on rent, my file was not cleared.
I re-applied for it in Nov-2011 by filling PP Form and I have a permanent house now. Still my passport procedures are not cleared.

Ch. 180 Reviews
He told himself he would never fall apart for BLI but right now, he couldn't stop. He whimpered and moaned thinking about his life before this. He was so happy, he had a loving wife and two beautif...
After a while Jamia had cried herself to sleep and Jet Star just sat there, looking up at the now night sky thinking about what Kobra's reaction would be when he woke up. Around what Jet assumed would be midnight, he heard Kobra shift in the sand and looked over to see him sitting up, rubbing is eyes. "Hey" he whispered making Kobra look up in confusion as to who was talking to him "Oh, hey....Felling better?" Kobra asked in a whisper. Jet Star nodded "Yeah...thanks. How are you holding up?" he motioned to Party Poison still out cold on the sand. Kobra's eyes dropped "I don't know....I can't loose him. I just can't" Jet Star's heart sank for Kobra knowing there was nothing he could do. "Hey, It will be ok. He will pull through.....Its party we are talking about remember?" Kobra half smiled "yeah I know" "Hey, this is the same person that dressed up in a panda suit and tried to crowd surf. When they didn't catch him he didn't get mad, didn't get discouraged...no. he says 'Who wouldn't catch a guy in a panda suit?' remember" Kobra Kid started laughing "Oh my god....How do you remember that?" Jet Star smiled and shook his head. "I have no idea....remember during the Helena shoot when Ghoul tried to climb in the coffin?" "Yes! and Gee was all like 'Don't knock it off!' You were trying to pull him out and and kept going back!" Jet Star laughed and was smiling "Yeah I thought he was trying to show his butt or something!" by this time Jet Star and Kobra Kid were laughing so had that they woke Jamia up. She sat up and rubbed her eyes "Whats so funny?" Jet Star stopped laughing and looked at Kobra. He was now on his feet and walking towards her. "Kobra....." Jet stood up out of the car and looked at Kobra. "Should we trust her Jet?" Jet looked back at Jamia and nodded "I think so. She has cried twice so the drug has worn off. I say give her a chance" Kobra sighed "I think that's Party's stance too...." He said and looked back at his brother. "Well...what now?" "I don't know...we need to figure out how we are going to get Ghoul back" when Jet Star said that he looked at Jamia "I think we just found out why Party kept her....." Kobra Kid nodded "Lets do this then"
It had been 4 days since Fun Ghoul had been taken by BLI and every day they tortured him. His body was beginning to go numb and his mind was slipping. He was going crazy. He laid in his bed tossing his head and moaning about Jamia and Lilly. His hands gripped the sheets and he would scream in the middle of the night like he was watching the die. The nightmares were even worse. He could see them die. He felt their touch as BLI ripped them from his grasp. He was on his knees begging and pleading but no matter what he did, it ended the same. He shot up covered in sweat, breathing hard before there was a bang on his door and a voice telling him to shut up and go back to sleep. This happened every night.
Fun Ghoul closed his eyes and laid on his bed. He wrapped his arms around and knees, pulling them to his chest, letting the tears fall. He told himself he would never fall apart for BLI but right now, he couldn't stop. He whimpered and moaned thinking about his life before this. He was so happy, he had a loving wife and two beautiful children. Now his wife was trying to kill him, his daughter was dead and the other was growing up in a desert being raised by outlaws. Lilly deserved so much better than what he had to offer. He loved her so much and hated to see her grow up in this place, but he hated even more to see her grow up with BLI. He wished for his band to be touring the world right now, he wished for his wife to be standing in the crowd singing to every word, he wished he could be sitting in his living room teaching his children how to play the guitar. He wished for things that he knew would never happen and that killed him. There was a voice at his door "Hey! Killjoy! I said shut up!" Fun Ghoul fell silent, ceasing his whimpers. He fell back asleep, praying he didn't have anymore nightmares.
The sun was just starting to rise and Jet Star and Kobra Kid were gathering what they could, preparing to go back into Battery City. They had talked and planed all night about how they were going to get in. They knew Korse would be expecting them but they also knew Fun Ghoul may not have much time left. They decided to use Jamia to their advantage since she knew they layout better than them. Jet Star stood up and placed his hands on his hips "I think we've got all we can carry." Kobra Kid nodded "Yeah, I think its safe to say that BLI won't expect us to stay here so Lilly and Party should be fine for now" Jamia walked over and mimicked Jet Star with her hands. "Im going" Kobra Kid shook his head "Duh. You have all the access codes and you know where they would keep Ghoul" "Frank" Jamia corrected. Kobra Kid looked at her "We don't call each other that anymore....Ghoul" Jamia began to argue "But a Ghoul is a dead person.....and Frank isn't dead" Kobra Kid sighed "Fine...whatever." He waived his hand in the air and walked over to Jet Star 'She driving me insane already...." Jet Star laughed "Awww poor Kobra Kid. Is a girl getting on his nerves?" Kobra glared at him before laughing "NO!" They both laughed and started to do an idiot check. "I think we've got everything. Are you ready to do this?" Kobra Kid asked now very serious. Jet Star nodded and walked over to the runner. He picked up the still sleeping Lilly and laid her next to Party Poison. "Be safe kid....." He kissed her forehead and jumped in the driver's seat. "Lets roll" Jamia and Kobra Kid climbed in the runner and they drove off in the final attempt to save Fun Ghoul.

THE BRANCH – The Falcons and Saints were in the same predicament this offseason.
They were making changes in the secondary and were looking for cornerbacks and safeties.
The Saints elected to sign ball-hawking safety Darren Sharper and cornerback Jabari Greer during free agency.
Both moves have paid off for the Saints. Sharper has six interceptions and returned three for touchdowns. Greer, the former University of Tennessee standout, is off to a good start.
With the secondary holding up, New Orleans' new defensive coordinator Gregg Williams has implemented his more
aggressive approach.
Now, the Saints appear to have a defense to match their high-scoring offense and are the only undefeated team in the NFC at 6-0.
Instead of going the free agency route, the Falcons addressed their secondary needs through the draft.
Second round pick William Moore, who was expected to contend for the starting strong safety spot, was placed on injured reserve on Tuesday. Cornerback Christopher Owens, a third rounder, is playing on special teams. Cornerback William Middleton, a fifth rounder, was released, but has caught on with Jacksonville.
The Falcons elected to pass on talented cornerback Vontae Davis in the first round. He went to Miami on the very next pick. Davis' off-the-field issues at Illinois certainly were a red flag for the Falcons.
The Falcons added Brian Williams after he was cut by Jacksonville, but he's out for the season with a knee injury.
So now, the Falcons head into the first game against pass-happy New Orleans, and the secondary is still unsettled.
There doesn't appear to be any options other than to keep "coaching up" Chris Houston and Brent Grimes.
It would be unfair to throw Owens out there against Brees for his first NFL start.
"I feel comfortable on both sides, so it really doesn't matter," Owens said. "I just have to focus more on the field. I figure if you eliminate the mental mistakes, you have a better chance of making plays on the field."
Former first round pick Tye Hill, acquired from the St. Louis Rams for a 7th round pick, appears to be on deck if the cornerbacks continue to struggle.
HEBERT ACTS A FOOL IN THE PRESS BOX: Hey, Bobby Hebert, no cheering in the press box! This was after the Saints win over the New York Jets.
THE BREW CREW: Before Barry Alvarez turned the University of Wisconsin into a respectable Big Ten program in the 1990s, it was rare to find a NFL player from the state.
With the signing of Aaron Stecker, the Falcons now have three players from Wisconsin. Stecker, the pride of Ashwaubenon High, went on to star at the University of Wisconsin and transferred to Western Illinois after Ron Dayne started to gobble up all of the carries on his way to the Heisman Trophy. Ashwaubenon is a small city right next to Green Bay.
Falcons long-snapper Michael Schneck is from the Milwaukee suburbs and played at Wisconsin. Offensive lineman Jose Valdez is from St. Francis, Wisconsin (a Milwaukee suburb). He's on the practice squad and played at Arkansas.
OPENING DRIVE CHART: Offensive coordinator Mike Mularkey's opening game scripts were red-hot last season when the Falcons were 8-0 when they scored on the opening drive of the game.
This season, they have scored two times on the opening drive and are 0-2 in those games.

Coach Mike Smith is preaching "Team Defense." But in the scheme of that "Team Defense" everbody has an assignment. He wants everyone to get better at their assignments, but don't the cornerbacks have the most room for improvement in the "Team Defense" scheme? The unit is likely set to give up it's third straight 300-yard passing game. Will the Saints even bother to show of their improve rushing attack with Pierre Thomas and Mike Bell? Which one of the receivers — Marques Colston, Henderson, Reggie Bush, or Jeremy Shockey — can the Falcons take away from Brees?
October 28th, 2009
8:42 am
Hey DOL,
The Falcons went 11-5 last year, not 13-3. In your graphic, you have them winning Game 4 vs. Carolina and the game vs. Denver. They lost both.
October 28th, 2009
8:49 am
Should be an exciting opening for this game; the falcons should be able to keep it competitive until at least half way through the first quarter. Saints win in a laugher, Saints 48 – falcons 10.
October 28th, 2009
8:55 am
Divination, I assume you are a Saints fan, so welcome. I do have to say as a Falcons fan, I truly believe you are wrong. Smitty kicks some tail, Turner gets his groove back and my beloved Falcons win 31-28.
October 28th, 2009
9:10 am
Seems like we have passed on Darren Sharper twice. Once when he went to Minnesota in 2005 and now in 2009. Both times, we were in need of a safety big-time. I guess we don't like ball-hawking safeties that can take it too the house. But I digress. On the CB situation, we should have replaced Brent Grimes about 4 games ago with Owens. I agree that Monday night is not the time to start him. But he and Tye Hill should get plenty of action. This team needs to spend some major $$$ and address the CB position in free agency next year. You cannot go cheap on a good CB, sorry.
October 28th, 2009
9:14 am
DOL – great analysis of what has happened this year with the Falcons' secondary. However, with that said, it would be crazy for the Saints to not throw the ball down field all night long Monday night.
Houston and Grimes have shown they are not capable of consistently shutting down good NFL WRs. Hopefully this will be first thing that TD addresses during the off season. Those two have been exposed as weaknesses on the defense this year especially after Williams went down for the season and I don't believe they can be coached up any more than they already have at this point.
October 28th, 2009
9:23 am
FalconUGAfan: I'm a Saints fan, correct. Not disrespecting the falcons, just think that that falcons aren't where they were last year, lots of injuries and plenty of new personnel at root of their problems. Seems like Saints can score at the drop of a hat and in spurts, with the help of their defense, seems like they can score three touchdowns inside of three minutes and with this always being a high emotion, big rivalry type of game, at home, ….. Of course, Reggie Bush is going to be on the cover of SI, we might be $crewed.
October 28th, 2009
9:41 am
I have to think that if Tye Hill isn't on the field it has to be because he is not ready in the coaches eyes. I trust the coaches and if they don't think he wouldn't be an uprade over our current corners, I sure don't want to see him on the field.
October 28th, 2009
9:43 am
Hey DOL: wasn't Miami in 2009 a "win"?
October 28th, 2009
9:55 am
Yeah, I believe the Birds only have 2 losses and we beat Miami. However, on Monday night…
October 28th, 2009
10:23 am
Tough match-up this Monday. I have to say I think the Saints are a year ahead of us in terms of re-building . I still hope we win . But my hats off to the Saints ,this is a very good football team .
October 28th, 2009
10:31 am
Coach Mike Smith is talking about changes after losing to the Dallas Cowboys. But I think he could do better at making changes as the game progresses. For Instance- If Turner is in the game an he seems to sputter, and Jason Snelling comes in an get's more yardage. Then use the hot hand, then go back to Turner later in the game. I know nobody is high on Chris Houston and Brent Grimes, but you had to know what you had after the preseason. These guys are professional athletes, our coaching staff has to do a better job at coaching these guys up. Aaron Stecker has played in the league for nine years, Is this guy capable of getting to the outside like Jerious Norwood or a Ricky Williams. We need a speed back not someone with the same style as Snelling and Turner. Every team in the league has Injuries, but you have to find a way to win. GO FALCONS…….
October 28th, 2009
10:37 am
You are sooooo right D. I think the Falcons should be more aggressive in free agency and trades. You don't get someone like Tony Gonzales and do expect to compete now.
Do you have any idea why the Falcons have faith in Brent Grimes? He seems like a great kid and hard worker, but at 5′9″ how much can he contribute. If he lost the starting position last year, why give it to him again this year?
October 28th, 2009
11:32 am
Remember..This team has not lost back to back games, this year or last. It sounds like we have already lost this game. The Falcons I know will make the trip to New Orleans, they will be better prepared, they will play hard, and they will bloody some noses. The Saints could very well be the best team in the NFL this year, but the game will be decided after 60 min of hard fought football.
October 28th, 2009
11:44 am
The bottom line is the Falcons are not ready to face a team that's averaging 40 points a game….The Falcons have only had one win where they scored more than 40 points..the secondary is definitely the weak link on this team and lately no pass rush either…Drew Brees is gonna have a field day against this defense
October 28th, 2009
12:32 pm
The Falcons were a special teams tackle and a just barely missed sack by John Abraham from making the Dallas game much closer.
And Fred Kalil still bites.
October 28th, 2009
12:38 pm
do I need to peep talk my falcons and put the saints into deep thought of thier first loss? cause look at the 2007 SB. the Giants were the worst team to ever enter the bowl and they played a 18-0 N.E. (and also cheating) and they whopped that butt.
we have a great O. look at the niners game (they were ranked good with D and we put them out). now we are playing a team whose D is like ours? we should put up as many points as they have.
October 28th, 2009
12:40 pm
with the deffence looking like they will be doing some changes. it can work out for the better or worse. but sorry to say but the falcons can't go much worse. so let Hill go out, just see what he can do.
October 28th, 2009
1:24 pm
The bottom line is the Falcons are not ready to face a team that's averaging 40 points a game
Oh no you didn't? Is anyone (aside from the way the New England Patriots who are RED HOT right now) ready to take on an UNDEFEATED team putting up 40 points?
Of course THEY ARE NOT READY, just damn people.
Our defense is patchwork, and we've done a great job to be where we are record wise considering the issues with the lack of talent in the secondary and D-Line.
If the Falcons can make the Saints game a competitive one, it'll be a bonus.
Saints are primed for a NFC championship run…Falcons are 1-2 years away (esp on Defense).
October 28th, 2009
1:41 pm
After both losses — to NE and DAL — members of the defense came out and said (or at least suggested) that they had been caught off guard. Remember, after the NE loss, one player said they had been gearing up for the pass, and as a result, they made Fred Taylor look like Jim Brown.
After the Dallas game, a player said that they had geared up to stop Dallas' vaunted rushing attack. As a result, Romo had a monster game.
What do you make of a) these seemingly misfired strategies and b) the fact that the players are almost admitting that they weren't adequately prepared?
Or am I just reading too much into it?
October 28th, 2009

The Falcons Are 4-0 Against The Below Average Teams Of The NFL Whose Combined Record Is
10 Wins Against 14 Loses..That's Right, The 4 Wins They Have Are Against Teams That Don't Measure Up To AVERAGE!! The 2 Loses Are Against Teams Who Are ABOVE Average With A Combined Score Of 9-5..Guess What All This Means Against New Orleans On Monday Night Football?? TOTAL EMBARRASSMENT!! They Will LOSE By 5 Touchdowns!! This Team Is A YOUNG Group Of Guys In The Learning Process And IF They Can Stick Together Over The Next 2 Years, They MIGHT Have A Chance To Compete
At The Higher Level!

Just how much more "stuggling" do Grimes and Houston have to do before they try Tye Hill? How bad must Hill look in practice that they're not even willing to give him a try or start or play AT ALL? This team isn't going anywhere fast if they keep these corners. I'll say it AGAIN–we should've paid Foxworth what he wanted, it would've been worth it. I don't have any confidence in us drafting any more corners when the last 2 we've selected aren't doing anything for this team! I pray Abe shows up in this game, he is the disappearing man, you've got to overcome those double teams and stop getting knocked on your butt. Use the no huddle but include Finn for god's sakes, use his height & his flypaper hands. Go Birds!

I remember all of you guys making Dimitroff the President of Brilliance.
He got lucky last season, not because he was a smart guy, but because the Falcons were so pathetic, he could only look smart because anything was an upgrade. Let's take a closer look at this brilliance:
Big Grady
Jerry……………..Damaged Goods
Moore…………….Damaged Goods
Gonzalez (age 34 and will retire in 2 seasons)
Gave up a NUMBER 2 pick
The defense is horrible
The quarterback can't win against ELITE teams
The quarterback can't stretch the field
The coaching has BURNED OUT Turner
At least the Reeves & Mora eras brought home playoff wins.

Embarrassment of The Nfl,
As always there is somebody reaching to try to make their statement true:
Brooking: Overrated and wanted to be paid like a Pro Bowler even though he is past his prime
Milloy: Last I checked the FS and SS haven't done too poorly
Foxworth: $16 million guranteed and he hasn't been what the Ravens hoped him to be.
Boley: What has he done since being on the Giants
Big Grady: Big but not as effective as he used to be. We are actually getting more penetration up the middle with JA98.
Jerry……………..Damaged Goods: Can't judge on just this year lets wait
Moore…………….Damaged Goods:Can't judge on just this year lets wait
Gonzalez (age 34 and will retire in 2 seasons): More catches this year than our whole TE group last year. He has played very well.
Gave up a NUMBER 2 pick: If we didn't get him we would've gotten a TE next year probably so it doesn't matter
The defense is horrible: Top 10 in scoring defense and that's the on;y stat that matters
The quarterback can't win against ELITE teams: That is a bunch of BS. Cowboys aren't elite and they had 2 weeks to prepare for us.
The quarterback can't stretch the field:Only Rookie QB to throw for 3,0000 yards other than Peyton Manning
The coaching has BURNED OUT Turner: Turner has burned out Turner
At least the Reeves & Mora eras brought home playoff wins: Mora made it to the playoffs once and he couldn't keep up the success and Dan got us there only twice. This team seems poised to be more competitive on a consistent bases.

I've been a Falcons fan for 33 years and I've never seen the team ranked in the top 5 for passing defense. So there…
October 28th, 2009

Actually the Falcons had a great pass defense in 1977 when they allowed 129 points in a 14 game season. But that's it. So double there…

Why has everyone jumped off of the Turner band wagon, of course his yardage is down because his carries are down he carried the ball more than any other running back in the league last year. Now the Falcons are a pass first offense, he can not put up the same numbers if he doesnt touch the ball. The Falcons pass on 1st down, run on 2nd dwn, and pass on first down. They take out Turner when they pass the ball even though he's an excellent pass blocker and only put him in during running plays. Its not too hard to predict when they are gonna run the ball. Any running back would have the same production as Turner in this offense. Snelling and Norwood get great yeardage only because the Defense thinks that we are passing because Turner isn't in the game.
October 28th, 2009

It's a shame that the Falcon's are gonna get embarrassed on national television like this!!
Saints 40-24, over those dirty birds! U saw what the Cowboys did to yall. Now, how about the #1
scoring offense in the league! GAME OVA ATL!!!!!! Yall defense is suspect at best, ATL doesn't stand a chance- WHO DAT BABY!!!!

Send Turner to the colts and watch us win another Super Bowl. Teams are loading up the box to stop the run because your QB can't throw pass 30 yards. Give Redmon a chance because he can throw the ball down the field.
October 28th, 2009
10:27 pm
For the Falcons to upset the Saints Monday Night, The Falcons Front Four might as well pin their ears back 70% of the downs to play the Saints passing offense to knock Brees around and off his passing lanes.
Rely on their linebackers to halt the run, even if it means given up 5 to 6 yards runs sometimes. It will be better than being scorched all night for TD'S from Brees.
Chances for Falcons' win are slim at Saints, but if the Falcons have some surprise looks with the running game using Turner and Snelling. Mixing up run plays with screen plays, then I think the Falcons can pull out a streaking win.
Otherwise if no Falcons' running game, then the Saints win by BIG NUMBERS!

Jonathan said:
now we are playing a team whose D is like ours? we should put up as many points as they have.
ummm. have you even watched a saints game? our D is far superior to yours… a lot of those pts scored against the saints D were due to special teams mistakes giving opponents short fields… a lot of the yardage given up was during "junk" time when the lead was out of hand.
the Saints D is tops in turnover ratio and overall top 10 and very deep. the Falcons are not deep at all. comparing the 2 D's is insulting.

My only hope is we are putting out enough "disinformation" that our players cannot cover anything taller than 5;6′ when they really can. Seems to be we should have some quick outs as well as no huddles than can always be the fall back pattern.
But, hey,I may not be D mastermind. (What say you, Glenn Dorsey!) I just know how much I flinched when both my daughters covered their eyes during Pats and Cowpaddies nop up plays.
Yes, I'd love to go to the Super Bowl, but can we please just have the rest of the season without at least one play each quarter making me want to go ostrich? Here's a further hope that Smitty is smart enough and canny enough to play a trap game on NOLA.

It seems the thing todo is just keep heaping criticism on the secondary (sure they deserve some), but we would not have beaten the Panthers without a timely interception by Chris Houston. I really like Grimes. I notice him running guys out of bounds before they can catch often. That said, sure they get burned sometimes. As for Tye Hill and Chris Owens, if they are good enough to be back-ups, they must have some degree of talent or else they wouldn't be on the roster. Truth to tell, if the secondary was the only group responsible for last Sunday's loss, that would be one thing. If that were true, we would have won the game. We lost the game because every position played poorly on all 3 phases. Can't win with solid WRs gingerly reaching for a ball that gets ripped away before or after you catch it. Turner never got started (we all know that). Our offensive line looked like Swiss cheese for the first time this year. Matt Ryan didn't handle pressure well (he was used to not having any pressure), Our D-Line got outmaneuvered by Romo often, the secondary made too many tackles (meaning LBs missed people too), special teams defense collapsed with a run by a guy that was benched the game before. I loved the win against Chicago, but it was the hardest hitting game I've seen. I thought, either the team will be tired or toughened up for the next game. They were obviously tired. The other big problem was the game plan. Coach Smith explained that the game plan resolved around stopping the Dallas run game, which they did. Romo had struggled for 3 straight games, so no one expected Romo to have a career passing game. When he did, our game plan was no longer relevant.
It is unfortunate that the Saints look to be that NFL team that can go undefeated, and they happen to be in our division. It will take a miracle to win Monday night. The good news is this bad stretch can be pushed aside quickly when the Redskins come into town (just what the doctor ordered). We will be competing most of the year with the Packers and one of the 3 best NFC East teams for a Wildcard birth. I like our chances. But 9 or 10 wins will not win this division with the Saints in it.

DOL. Not making any excuses for the losses, but I wonder if you have noticed how often John Abraham is being held by the offensive linemen and they do not call it. I have watched evry game this year and focused on Abraham and it seems to me (just my opinion) that he is being held alot. If that is the case that would explain why he has not been able to get as many sacks as last year. Also, last year our team was injury free all year, this year we have had a high anount of injuries. In the NFL the team that stays healthy throughgout the year usually makes the playoffs if they have decent players. What is your opinion?

I think the falcons loose this game in N.O but win in the ATL.The birds are hard to beat at the dome.Lets see if anyone agree with me on this thought.In the future,put grimes at free saftey and let him learn the position.When you watch grimes play,he's around the ball everytime its thrown his way but is too short to make plays on bigger recievers.Place him at free saftey and he will see the field more making plays with his ball hawking energy.It kind of put you in mind of bob sanders of indy 5″8.Not saying he is a sanders but i personally think he would dwell better at that position by him being a fighsty energetic player.

The Saints are the best team in football. However, there is a reason they play the games. I hope the Saints are over confident and think "Dat" there shiat don't stink. We then smash them in the face with a resurrected Turner.
Did I really read someone suggest start Redman? Matt Ryan is legit. The people who want to bash him need to realize he is the future of the team and if you are a real Falcon fan, then you need to back your boy up.
Hey Mr Dimitroff please get a cornerback over 6′0 please sometime in the future.
Matt Ryan is the Truth
In Dimitroff and Smith We Trust

Go Falcons
42-35 Falcons get the offense going

Interesting comments. As a Saints Fan, i can say this without problem, Monday Night Falcons are in trouble. That being said, I dont underestimate the Fight that will take place. Falcon – Saints games are ALLWAYS close. Seems that we usually split the season. Falcons will probably make playoffs (Beating out Cowgirls) as a wildcard. The road to the Superbowl will more than likely have to go through New Orleans. I REALLY want to see Falcons KILL Cowgirls in wildcard round.
October 29th, 2009

The best defence is a controlled offence with a pounding running game to keep NO offence off of the field.Go get'um Turner the burner.
October 29th, 2009

Andrew you sure do sound confident.I would not get to fiesty about the saints being 6-0 after the falcons get through with them. it just mite be the saints playing the cowgirls in the wild card game.you never know it a long 10 games left anything can and will happen.
October 29th, 2009
11:24 am
My intenet was not arrogance. It was simply to give Falcons some credit. I think the Falcons are alot better team than anyone is giving them credit for( did i just say that? lol) I am a season ticket holder and KNOW what the dome will be like monday. Remember the game when the dome reopened? Well multiply that by about 2 or 3. The city has Saints fever like i have NEVER seen it before. As it stands the dome will be a very very difficult environment for any opposing team.

I swear to Moses some of you people are watching a different Grimes than I am. *ON A FOOTBALL FIELD* he is as useless as teats on a boar hog and needs to go away. And he needs to take Houson with him.

The saints are good, Snelling needs to be utilzed with Burner and hopefully we can put up a good enough run game to keep the ball out of Breezys hands and if Abe is getting doubled, somebody should be getting to the quarterback for what its worth JA98 is doing a better job in the inside. If we can to the quarterback that should help out the "little ones" in the secondary. If the Saints are playing in their territory then Houston needs to get a pass interference everytime he is covering somebody because he is definetly a "poster child" They need to beat a legit team, I thought the Bears were legit but after the beating they took last week…………………. The birds can win, will they win? probably &*%

A Program on French Cultural Studies
I travelled to Toulouse in order to examine the Toulouse French Program directed by the School for International Training. I think it is an excellent program for students who wish to learn French through a hands on approach rather than in traditional university courses. They need to be able to work independently although they do get much help from the director Matt Green who is extremely devoted, and they must be ready to work hard (so they say!).
Students first spend one week in Paris for orientation. Here they are given a list of topics to choose from to do a project. For instance, they can go to a particular metro stop and try to find answers to questions given to them by the director. This project forces them to speak to French people in the street. It gets them used to being in France and is a bonding experience with their peers.
When they arrive in Toulouse their first project is to prepare a report on a special topic again, such as visiting a cheese factory or pastry shop or a historical monument etc...
The students are given certain guidelines to follow and give a presentation at the end of their stay. At the same time, they take language classes which combine grammar and culture with a very charismatic professor, Dominique Pozzo who also teaches Political Sciences and apparently can teach Literary Analysis.
language class meets several times a week for five weeks and students do exercises
and review grammar on the computer program designed by Mr. Pozzo. There
is also a core course on Cultural Studies course which consists of French Economics,
French History, French LIterature etc....These classes are usually split in
two parts each and last from 2 to 3 hours each time. The Cultural Studies
course is an overview of many aspects of France which gives students a taste
of various things but without delving into anything in particular. Students
write daily but I don't think they are given very much reading to do.
However, they do speak French a great deal.
I attended the French Literature class which was the second meeting with the professor who was excellent, dynamic, well read and humorous but she was asked to cover too much material. The class lasted from 9:30 a.m. til 1 p.m with a short pause. The professor reviewed the previous class which covered the Middle Ages up to the 11th century and she lectured on Descartes as well as the 18th, 19th and 20th
centuries. Students were a little lost because things were going too fast and they did not seem to be too trained in literature. The Director did tell me that the class would be restructured in the future. I must say that this class came after the wonderful 9 day stay that students spent in a small village in a different host family from the one they have in Toulouse. Students go on several field trips. I know that this group, for instance, had visited grottoes in southern France and was going to explore Collioure, a beautiful French town with many historical and cultural treasures. However, it is not just for the fun of it. They must not remain passive for they always have to write what they expect to find and upon their return write what they did find.
I was lucky to go to St Girons with the students and listen to the report each student made on their village experience. They enjoyed being forced to speak French since they were separated from their friends who were in other villages. Their village host families were present to listen to their American student's report which created a very warm and loving atmosphere. Faculty, students and host families had a picnic together by the river. The students were all from different American colleges and universities and had different majors: International Relations, Finances, Anthropology, English, Humanities, Communications, Political Sciences etc...They were asked to make a report on their village findings which they were required to illustrate with slides. They all raved about this wonderful experience which allowed them to improve their French and delve into a special topic in a very enjoyable atmosphere.

This Red River Rivalry thing is upon us again with a Saturday morning kickoff at the Cotton Bowl, and the one thing missing will be the immense national neon once frequently associated with the event.The neon has been burning on dim for a while now.In fairness to Oklahoma, its a program that hasnt been what it was under Bob Stoops, but still lurks on the outer half of college footballs power grid.Compared to Texas, thats an energy upgrade. The plug has already been pulled on that Austin program.With the Sooners as a two-touchdown favorite, if that spread is covered by mid-afternoon on Saturday, the immediate question becomes this:Will the lights be turned out on Mack before supper?Look, theres been a ton of theories on whats gone wrong over the last three or four years with Mack Browns football program, and this week, SI.com took some more shots at the long, long fall.The word soft appeared frequently in the SI.com blame game, even fingering team strength coaches, which seems like such a reach not even the excuse-making AD, the soon-to-be-gone DeLoss Dodds, would have stooped that far.But certainly soft applies. Starting with Mack, and going right down to the judgment on recruits, the lack of a tough mentality has been cited frequently as being at the root of UTs tumble.Sometimes, however, its just stupid stuff.Take, for instance, what happened this week in Austin.First, however, go back to last Thursday night in Ames, Iowa. The Longhorns struggled mightily to beat an Iowa State club that Id venture to guess had lost the Almighty 5-Star Recruit count to Texas by like 35-or-40-to-none.And the way Texas won the game was like a total gift from a Big 12 officiating crew/replay official. And I say that despite being the worlds biggest Johnathan Gray fan from his Aledo High School days, but my guy had the ball taken away from him on the goal line. No, he wasnt down. And no, his forward progress had not been stopped.If you watch enough Big 12 football, it leads you to wonder if some of these officiating crews are either involved in a criminal act, or simply incompetent. But thats another story. So is how the Longhorns survived against Iowa State.In the course of that game, however, Longhorns wide receiver Mike Davis committed about as blatant a cheap shot on an Iowa State defensive back as you will see at any football level.After a Texas running back scored a touchdown, Davis went after the DB with a cut block at the side of the knee. The DB was not involved in the TD play, and had pulled up after the running back had crossed the goal line.A flag did fly. And Davis was given 15 yards, although not ejected. The flag told us an official actually saw the cheap shot. But not ejecting the player says the official made a huge error in judgment.The real issue came later, however.The Big 12 office, gutless as usual, came out this week with a ruling that reprimanded Davis, although did not suspend him for any games. Pitiful.But Davis would not shut up.His initial reaction to his cheap shot on Twitter after the game was, I play to the whistle I was taught that.Mack initially backed his player, saying Davis was simply competing on the play. Such a weak response.On Monday, Davis stirred it up again by telling the media, Id do the same thing if the DB is loafing, he deserves to get cut.Finally, even Mack had to back off, saying that while Davis wasnt a dirty player, he understood why the conference gave a reprimand. The Texas PR department also attempted to clarify Davis Monday statement.But then came an Austin one-eighty on Tuesday. Somebody in Austin, I guess, had a come-to-Jesus meeting with Davis. On Tuesday afternoon, a lengthy three-paragraph retraction was issued by Davis, backing off on everything he previously said and apologizing to everyone this side of Earl Campbell.That doesnt, however, erase the real problem: No accountability by Mack for four days after the incident in Ames.A real head coach, once he had seen the film on Friday, and clearly had seen the Davis incident (every website in the country has shown it) suspends that player immediately. Like last Friday.Brown did not have to wait on the do-nothing Big 12 office to issue its pathetic wrist slap. This was a Texas player who did wrong. Totally wrong. Thats on Mack. Its his job to discipline his player.Mike Davis may be a nice kid, and I hope he is. The Ames cheap shot could have been simply a stupid, split-second decision.But even the apology/retraction didnt happen until the kid became an embarrassment to the university and to himself. First, long before Tuesday, Mack had to tell Davis to shut the bleep up, and then Mack had to make the right call on the player.Davis should have been suspended by his coach for at least a game, and probably two.But its Oklahoma on the agenda this week. Mack needs an upset win. Davis is his best receiver.No accountability.Soft.Unfortunately, thats what Texas football has become.

The books are to remind us what asses and fools we are. They're Caesar's praetorian guard, whispering as the parade roars down the avenue, 'Remember, Caesar, thou art mortal.' Most of us can't rush around, talk to everyone, know all the cities of the world, we haven't time, money or that many friends. The things you're looking for, Montag, are in the world, but the only way the average chap will ever see ninety-nine per cent of them is in a book. Don't ask for guarantees. And don't look to be saved in any one thing, person, machine, or library. Do your own bit of saving, and if you drown, at least die knowing you were headed for shore.

NEW ORLEANS – The Saints went marching in … again and again and again.
With injuries continuing to decimate the Cowboys defense and the offense unable to do much of anything, Dallas was simply dominated by New Orleans, losing 49-17 in front of a primetime national audience on Sunday Night Football.
"That did not feel good," said owner/general manager Jerry Jones. "Anything that would go along with losing that you can say, it's embarrassing when you lose. It's embarrassing to not be representative, not be competitive, all of those things."
The Cowboys started this game with a slew of injuries already hampering the defensive unit, this time
"It hurt me not being out there tonight," Hatcher said. "Not that I say things would have been different, but I really think I could have helped my team. It hurt sitting over there just seeing my team get beat on."
But things would only get worse for the unit, as the last person the team could afford to lose would leave the game. Early in the second quarter,
Lee plans on getting an MRI on Monday to get a better idea of the severity of the injury.
"Don't know the severity, but obviously it's not good," Lee said. "So we've got to figure it out, and I'll do whatever I can to rehab and get back as fast as possible."
He was followed in the third quarter with fellow starting linebacker
At some points during the night, especially at the end when Ware was rested, only three of the projected defensive starters going into training camp (safety
So, the fact that Drew Brees and the Saints offense basically had their way with the Dallas defense probably shouldn't have come as any surprise. The Saints finished with 625 yards of total offense, and set a new single-game NFL record with 40 first downs.
"They were able to move the ball both by running it and throwing it," said head coach Jason Garrett. "It's well documented we have a lot of different guys playing for us, we understand that, but we didn't get the job done and they did."
Brees finished the night with 392 passing yards and four touchdown tosses, narrowly missing out on becoming the fifth quarterback this season to throw for 400 yards against the Cowboys defense. Nine different players caught passes for New Orleans, with Marques Colston leading the way with 107 yards off seven grabs.
Unfortunately, the Saints didn't just do their damage in the air, as they also rushed for 242 yards, Mark Ingram having a field day against the depleted Cowboys, running for 145 yards on 14 carries.
"There just were very few plays that we stopped," Garrett said. "They did a lot of different things. They ran the ball when they wanted to run it. I thought Drew Brees did a fantastic job reading the coverage and finding the right guy."
With the injury issues affecting the Dallas defense, the Cowboys needed a big game from their offense. They didn't get it.
Facing Saints defensive coordinator Rob Ryan, who served in the same capacity for Dallas the previous two seasons,
The Cowboys quarterback finished with just 128 yards on 10-of-24 passing, the second time in the last three games that he has failed to complete at least 50 percent of his passes. Backup tight end
"We didn't do a good enough job just finding the other guys and making them pay with the other guys who were getting isolated," Garrett said. "We weren't able to drive the ball the way we wanted to. We didn't do a very good job on third down to sustain drives."
Also not helping was a plethora of penalties. The Cowboys rushed for 89 yards, but had 11 penalties for a total of 82 yards. In all, Dallas only totaled 193 yards of offense in the game, running just 43 plays. Again, New Orleans had 40 first downs alone.
The Cowboys had the opportunity to make an early statement when
That didn't last long, though. Starting at their own 20, the Saints marched right down the field, going 80 yards in nine plays with Breese hitting Colston from 22 yards out for the score and a 7-3 advantage.
Dallas then faced a scary moment when on the ensuing kickoff, Harris broke loose down the left sideline for a nice 34-yard return to the Cowboys 28. But already out of bounds, Harris was then pushed by linebacker Kevin Reddick, falling headfirst into a Saints player who was standing on the sidelines. The play was clearly a late hit, but no flag was thrown.
Harris, perhaps the best special teams player in the NFL, suffered a neck injury and went to the locker room, but did return to the game.
Undaunted, the Cowboys did something they've failed to do with any regularity in recent games – run the ball. As the drive pushed into the second quarter, Dallas handed the ball off to Murray seven times during the possession, his biggest gain coming on a 35 run around the left end which set the offense up at the Saints 32.
Murray then capped off the drive with another scamper around the left end from 7 yards out, diving into the end zone to give Dallas back the lead, 10-7.
Again, though, New Orleans had an answer. And this time it came at an even bigger cost to the Cowboys.
With the Saints starting at their own 20, Brees threw a short pass over the middle to running back Pierre Thomas. The linebacker Lee was in on the tackle, but in the process injured his hamstring, lost for the game.
With that, Brees began to pick apart the Cowboys, driving the distance in 15 plays while chewing up 8:56 of clock. The score came when the quarterback found Thomas from 1-yard out, the Saints taking the lead for good, 14-10.
And after Dallas went three-and-out on their next possession, that left plenty of time for Brees to lead his side into the end zone again before the half. This time Sproles took the handoff at the 3-yard line and barreled into the end zone.
But the Saints weren't done yet. With the Cowboys offense again unable to pick up a first down for the third time in four possessions, that gave New Orleans plenty of time to reach the end zone one more time. Starting at his own 25 with 53 seconds left, Brees had little problem reaching paydirt. Quickly working to the Dallas 28, he then dumped off a little screen to Sproles, who darted down the right side the rest of the way, the Saints going into the half with a 28-10 lead having scored 21 points in a span of just over five minutes.
"Again, we didn't have great rhythm on offense in general," Garrett said. "I thought we ran the ball pretty well early with DeMarco. The biggest thing is when you don't convert those third downs, you're not going to get into much of a rhythm."
The third quarter started off the same for the Cowboys offense, as their first two possessions resulted in punts. Likewise, the Saints picked up right where they left off as well. Their first drive of the third quarter finished with a missed field goal with the second resulting in yet another touchdown, Ingram carrying it in from 4 yards out to up the score to 35-10.
As time began to wind down in the frame, however, the Cowboys showed some signs of life. Starting at his own 11, Romo hit tight end
And then the Cowboys pulled off a big surprise with a successful onside kick. Bailey placed it perfectly with
Unfortunately, the Cowboys couldn't do anything with the brief momentum change, going three-and-out and punting the ball right back to the Saints. Six plays and a 52-yard bomb later and New Orleans was on the scoreboard once more, this time Brees hitting rookie Kenny Stills for the points, 42-17.
"I can't remember when I've been a part of a game like this before," said
From there, both teams seemed content to primarily run the ball and run out the clock. But with Hatcher and Lee both missing, the Saints continued to just pound the middle for big games right up the gut. New Orleans drove 78 yards for yet another score and never put the ball in the air, Thomas capping off the drive with a run from the 1-yard line, the rout mercifully coming to an end, 49-17.
"I didn't expect this," Jones said. "I didn't see this coming."
With the loss, the Cowboys again fell back to .500, and are now tied for first in the NFC East with a 5-5 mark, although they currently hold the tiebreaker with Philadelphia. They will now take a much-needed rest with their bye week before returning to action on Nov. 24 when they travel to New York to take on the Giants.

Making Christmas Personal
- Tuesday, December 11, 2007
It was Christmas Eve, my favorite night of the year, as we sat shoulder-to-shoulder on a rear pew in the quaint but packed country church. I had been a Christian for slightly less than ten years, but each day since that unforgettable moment in July 1974 when I had received Jesus as my Savior, I had prayed for my dad's salvation. Dad was the last "holdout" in our family. Prior to 1969, none of us had known Jesus as Lord and Savior, but since that time we had all become Christians — except Dad. My stubborn German father, though raised by a praying mother, had rejected his childhood faith and now insisted he was an atheist.
That night my family was sure all that would change, for Dad had agreed to accompany us to the Christmas Eve service. We had been shocked but thrilled when he accepted our invitation, since we invited him to church quite often and he always refused. For the first time, on that night of all nights when the faithful gather together to commemorate the birth of God's Son, my dad was with us.
As the service progressed, I found myself peeking out of the corner of my eye every few moments to make sure he was still there, sitting next to my mom, whose face literally shone with joy and excitement. But so far nothing was happening. Dad sat perfectly still, his big hands resting in his lap, his broad shoulders straight, his lined face expressionless. With the service about to end, I found myself fighting discouragement.
And then the lights went down and, as if on cue, the parishioners seated on the center-aisle end of the pews passed small unlit candles to everyone in their row. At the same time two ushers began to make their way down the center aisle, stopping at the end of each pew and lighting the candle of the first parishioner in each row. Those parishioners then turned and lit the candle of the next person in the row, and so on until everyone held a lit candle.
Clutching my own candle as I waited for the usher to reach our row, I glanced over at my parents and realized my ever-practical father must have decided the process was going much too slowly, for he suddenly fished his cigarette lighter out of his pocket and started lighting candles. Within minutes he had lit every candle at his end of the pew and was reaching over to the people in the pew in front of us to start on theirs.
Fighting humiliation, I closed my eyes and felt the sting of unexpected tears as I realized my dad was simply trying to be helpful. I heard a couple of chuckles in nearby rows, but no one said anything until the usher arrived at our pew. With the glow from his candle illuminating his face, the smiling man thanked my father for his assistance. Dad returned his smile and assured him he was glad to be of help, and the gracious usher moved on.
It was nearly fifteen years later before the last "holdout" in our family responded to the loving call of his heavenly Father. At eighty-eight years of age, less than one week before his death in October 1999, my sweet but stubborn German father received Jesus as his Savior — and then promptly went home to be with Him.
I have thought of that Christmas Eve so many times over the last couple of decades. With the exception of occasional weddings, funerals, or baptisms, Dad never came back to church with us after that night, though we asked him nearly every week. There were times we wondered how God would ever penetrate Dad's seemingly hard heart with the gospel, but we clung to the knowledge that God is faithful and nothing is impossible with Him. And how we rejoiced when God finally broken through Dad's resistance and we saw the tears of joy in his clouded eyes. Though a series of small strokes had left him bedridden and unable to speak, we were thrilled each time he grinned and lifted his finger to point heavenward at the mention of the name of Jesus. And we were so very grateful. But I have to admit that, despite my gratitude and joy, I also wondered why Dad had waited so long to receive such a truly awesome gift. As it turned out, because he died in October, he never got to experience the wonder of Christmas as a believer — or did he?

This is great if you double all the spices (except salt), add fresh ginger, mushrooms, and onions to the saute. And cut out the water completely--one half cup of well-flavored broth will do the trick. Serve with couscous and steamed yellow squash and add plenty of minced cilantro.
Curried Chicken and Chickpeas

So good! Although saltier than I normally tend to cook at home, that only made me feel like I was eating a dish from an authentic Indian restaurant. You have to mix the three components together to get the full flavor burst, but then it is delicious. And the curry powder gave it just the right amount of spice. I would decrease the salt somewhat if you are watching your sodium levels.

Very nice. I also added asparagus, which I microwaved/steamed for 4-5 minutes before adding with the tomatos and chickpeas.

Everybody liked this, served with steamed rice and spinach (not big couscous fans). Made just as written. Good weeknight dinner.

MSHA Seeks Comments on Revised Instructions for Coal Mine Rescue Teams
MSHA has requested comments on revised instruction guides for coal mine rescue team training. MSHA prescribes training materials through the issuance of instruction guides. Existing standards for coal mine rescue teams include criteria for mine operators to certify the qualifications of the teams. The MINER Act of 2006 requires MSHA to update these criteria every 5 years. The revised instruction guides update existing mine rescue training materials referenced in the criteria to certify coal mine rescue team qualifications. MSHA states that the revised instruction guides provide improved advanced mine rescue training for coal mine rescue teams by including additional exercises to provide more hands-on skills training to enhance team performance when responding to an actual mine emergency. Comments are due November 25, 2013. http://www.gpo.gov/fdsys/pkg/FR-2013-09-24/html/2013-22804.htm

Congratulations, you found one of the links in this blog post!
Massively and WoWInsider are also both the same blog network.
If you want to zing Amanda for posting old content, how about linking to mmo-champion when they first reported it? The day it happend (feb 22). Put some effort into your trolling, at least.

I don't know if you read new papers... but if you look at an article, then research the press release that provides information for that article, you'll be surprised (at either how common this is, or at how fantastic you are at pointing out the obvious). Might be easiest to do with political or business articles.
